Will crying ward
off a head cold?
By L. M. BOYD
A medical researcher thinks you can ward off an on
coming head cold by crying. Emotional conflict is what
triggers that cold, says this savant. Your nose expects
tears. If you don’t cry, the nose becomes congested,
waiting for tears. And sniffle, you’ve got a cold.
Interesting, if true. I’ve always believed that emotions
cause colds, asthma, arthritis, tuberculosis and cancer,
but nobody has ever paid me a dime for the explanation,
and the victims of the serious ailments don’t welcome a
tactless layman’s whims, understandably.
Was none other than Milton Berle who wanted to end the
Vietnam war by putting it on ABC where it was bound to
be canceled in 13 weeks.
Were you aware that a Bufflehead duck can emerge in
full flight from an underwater dive?
HIDEOUT
Q. “Whereabouts in the U. S. have the most criminals
hidden out from the law?”
A. Probably the Arizona strip. It's a 140-mile-by-80-mile
stretch of wasteland north of the Colorado River to the
Utah line. Red mesas. Mesquite. Spectacular mountains.
Empty valleys. No paved roads. No phones. No electric
lines. No piped water. Outlaws, draft dodgers,
bootleggers, rustlers, some of the FBl’s most wanted,
these by the hundreds have holed up in the strip.
Every third shrimp pulled out of the water is eaten by
an American.
A third of all divorce suits filed in this country are
dropped before they come to trial.
CAR MECHANICS
Car mechanics have at hand a book called the flat rate
manual. Comes out annually and lists all standard repairs
with the length of time they take to complete. If you gripe
about your bill, the mechanic can whip out the manual and
show the labor estimate, right there in black and white.
Interesting. But an automotive expert tells me that any
mechanic worth having around can do the job in half the
time that’s printed in that manual. And most mechanics
do it in half the time, too.

My Answer
The second coming
DEAR DR. GRAHAM: I know I am
supposed to look forward to the second
coming of Christ, but how can I honestly do
that when some of the people I love most
are not saved? Is it wrong to hope Christ
will not come, and that they will have more
time to repent?-Mrs. B. I.
DEAR MRS. I.: It almost sounds like
you are trying to keep God from making a
mistake! Remember that the Bible tells
God is also very concerned about your
loved ones who do not know him, and “is
long suffering toward us, not willing that
any should perish, but that all should come

were arrested on looting charges.
Mayor Beame has called for an in
vestigation and Consolidated Edison of

autopsy of their system to determine what

work as it should.
Thousands of workers were asked to
stay home Thursday because the tran
sportation systems were without power.
This was another economic blow to the
city and it already is having more than its
share of financial woes.
Measures should be developed to keep
this city that has been operating in the red
from going further in the red by being in

Camp meeting is a part of the religious
heritage of America that continues to
grow each year. It is a time of spiritual
fellowship and revival.
Spalding County is fortunate in having
three campgrounds, Pirkle, Mt. Zion and
Flint River Baptist Association. Each is
used for a number of activities during the
year, all for the spiritual uplift of the
people who attend.
to repentance” (II Peter 3:9). You can be
sure that God can be trusted to send Christ
back just at the proper time.
Throughout the New Testament the
second coming of Christ is presented as the
blessed hope of the human race. Paul said
that we are to “love his appearing” (II
Timothy 4:8). The Bible even tells us that
the whole creation groans and labors,
looking for the second coming of Christ
(Romans 8:22). The last book of the Bible
ends with the prayer, “Even so, come,
Lord Jesus” (Revelation 22:20). What a
wonderful thing it is to know that someday
all the pain and sorrow and sin of this life
will be eliminated!
It is good that you are concerned about
the salvation of your friends. However, I
wonder if you are doing all that you can to
tell them about Christ and seek to win
them to Him. Fray for them and witness to
them now, because we never know if we
will have other opportunities. “Behold,
now is the accepted time; behold, now is
the day of salvation” (II Corinthians 6:2).
‘Jus’ gittin’
used to’
BY GERARD C. McLAURIN
News Staff Executive
The comment has often been made that man can adapt
to almost any given set of circumstances. Scientists call it
“man’s adaptation to his environment.” We laymen
usually refer to it as “jus’ puttin’ up with or gittin
used to.”
When you stop and look around, it’s easy to see that we
have been doing a great deal of “gittin’ used to
especially in the last several decades. Man has
progressed from very effectively kicking the posterior of
his mule to frustratingly kicking the sidewalls of his
modem gas guzzler.
But broken down autos and the like are problems
inherited from advances in modem technology that we
force ourselves to adjust to as we encounter them. What
about the ones we have adjusted to so well on a day-to-day
basis that we hardly notice anymore?
For example, one of the greatest tasks we face each day
is controlled by a simple set of mechanical springs and
gears. And it all springs into action before we even have
begun our day.
Buzz-z-z! or Ting-g-g! (they have a variety of sounds).
At the sound of their alarm clocks, millions of Americans
must force themselves from peaceful slumber into the
restless world of consciousness in order to find the button
which will give them the instant relief of silence. For
hours across the nation, men, once free, are controlled by
a small, inanimate, non-thinking object. We created it.
Now it creates the beginning of our day.
Having been irrevently sounded out of their beds, men
sleepily stumble toward their bathrooms for a shower and
a shave. There was a time when a healthy growth of hair
about the face was the source of a man’s pride. Today,
for some, now obscure, reason, a man’s face must be as
smooth as his baby boy’s tush.
So, as the mores of society have dictated, men spend
perilous minutes risking their lives with fatally shar
pened instruments cutting hairy stubbles from their
faces. At the same time women are pulling bits of the
stuff from their faces with tweezers and painting on
concoctions of oil and pigment to cover their im
perfections. Considering the troubles a woman goes
through to get those lines in her face it seems she’d be
proud of them.
As they saunter from the bathroom, he clean shaven and
she properly disguised, their day-to-day tribulations have
only just begun. Take for instance this typical scene at
home just before leaving for work. Dad, having turned on
the tv set and picked up the morning paper, is seated with
the paper in one hand and junior in the other. While
trying to decide which shoe goes on junior’s left foot he
sees that more war has broken out in the Middle East,
according to the paper, and hears from the tv com
mentator that garbage men are on strike at home.
Confronted with the dilemma of war overseas and gar
bage pilling up at home, pre-twentieth century man might
have wound up putting the shoes on junior's ears
bewildered by the news. But no. Not we modem men. We
have been conditioned.
Dad, the conditioned modem man able to deal with such
problems, would more likely simply heave a “not again”
sigh and proceed to shoe junior with proper shoes on
proper feet.
As the average day progresses those day-to-day
problems pop up and are dealt with in a semi-concious
manner with little diversion. Whether better to pay cash
or use the charge plate; wait for the guy at the comer or
try to beat him through the intersection; go ahead and fill
the gas tank or try to make it home with what’s in the
tank.
As members of the most advanced society known in the
history of man, we deal with more problems in a day than
most of our forefathers dealt with in a month. There is
little wonder we find it more and more difficult to relax.
Yet we are living longer and are more healthy than ever
before.
Let’s face it, man is amazing—we’re amazing. As such
amazing creatures we face a tomorrow full of possibilities
never before dreamed.
Speaking of tomorrow, what time should I get up? What
should I wear? When was that appointment? Who was I
supposed to ...
