Make way
WILMINGTON, N.C.—As any college student can tell you, time is of utmost importance
when you’ve got a class to catch. Cyclist Stewart Hood, a freshman at the University of
North Caroilina, was hurrying to make a class on time when she sent pedestrian Robert A.
Hass, also a freshman, scurrying for the grass. (AP)

Pastor’s lesson: speak
up for the oppressed
By Abigail Van Buren
© 1977 by The Chicago Tdbune N.Y News Synd. Inc.
DEAR ABBY: In stressing the importance of speaking
up for oppressed minorites, you published a quote and
asked if anyone knew its origin.
The original quote was somewhat different. Its author
was Martin Niemoeller, who served aboard a German
U-boat during World War I. He later became a Lutheran
minister. When Hitler rose to power, Niemoeller opposed
him and was promptly thrown into Theresienstadt—a Nazi
concentration camp. At this camp 76,000 Jews (of which
15,000 were children) were sent to their death. At the time
of the liberation, only 100 children had survived.
When Pastor Niemoeller was released, he was asked,
“How did the world let this happen?” He responded:
“In Germany, the Nazis first came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist. Then
they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I
wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I
didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then
they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up because I
was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time
there was no one left to speak for me.”
How sad that only 32 years have passed and many of us
have already forgotten that lesson. Let this serve as a
reminder.
SAN FRANCISCAN
DEAR SAN: Thank you and the hundreds of other
readers who sent me their versions of that brilliant quote.
The same sentiments were expressed by Thomas Paine
(1737-1809), a revolutionary, whose writings greatly
influenced the political thinking of the leaders of the
American Revolution.
He said, “He that would make his own liberty secure,
must guard even his enemy from oppression, for if he
violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that wiU
reach to himself.”
And that, my friends, is what human rights are all about.
DEAR ABBY: I have been meaning to write this letter
for years, but I never got around to it until now. I want you
to know that a letter in your column signed TOO LATE
caused me to visit my mother every day during her last
two years in a nursing home.
I will always feel indebted to you, Dear Abby, for
motivating me to do something that now permits me to live
with a clear conscience.
J. E. K., JR., AMERICUS, GA.
’ DEAR MR. K.: Thanks. Your letter made my day.

CONFIDENTIAL TO “FRIENDLESS” IN DE QUEEN,
ARK.: You can make more friends in one week by
becoming interested in other people than you can in a year
of trying to get other people interested in you.
Everyone has a problem. What’s yours? For a personal
reply, write to ABBY: Box, No. 69700, L.A., Calif. 90069.
Enclose stamped, self-addressed envelope, please.
Formula
for grants
announced
A more liberal formula for
determining the amount of
grant funds, supplementing
loans available for im
provement of rural community
water systems affected by
drought, has been put into
effect in Spalding County by the
Farmers Home Administration.
(FmHA), the agency’s county
supervisor Joseph Walden,
announced today.
Spalding County has been
made eligible for FmHA
emergency loans and grants
under President Carter’s
drought assistance program to
help communities having
diminished water supplies,
resulting from drought con
ditions in designated drought
areas. Applications for projects
approved must be made in time
for funds to be obligated by
Sept. 30.
In calculating a community’s
ability to repay an emergency
loan for water system im
provement, FmHA previously
has taken into account existing
indebtedness only for water
facilities. The new formula lets
FmHA take into account the
applicant’s existing in
debtedness for all purposes.
This is expected to increase the
grant portion of FmHA funding
of many projects.
The new regulation also
provides that some projects,
previously not eligible for grant
assistance, may receive FmHA
grants of up to 20 percent of
total eligible project
development costs, if they are
needed to safeguard public
health and safety. A large
proportion of grant funds, up to
50 percent, maybe provided if
justified through the formula
for determining the com
munity’s ability to repay a loan.
