‘Passages’ tone of Dr. Morgan’s talk
Dr. Bruce Morgan talked
about 3 kinds of growth during
the annual Business Women’s
Week banquet Tuesday night at
the Country Club. He addressed
the Griffin BPW Club which
sponsored the annual ob
servance.
Dr. Morgan, pastor of the
First Baptist Church, based his
talk on some ideas found in the
book “Passages” by Gail
Shehee.
He developed his talk like
this:
Growth of middle-age persons
must take place on not one but
three frontiers:
(a) Growth on the frontiers of
career or profession.
(b) Growth on the frontiers of
understanding one’s innerself.
(c) Growth on the frontier of
family and-or personal
relationship.
Women have made strides in
terms of opportunities and
growth on the business and
professional level. All persons
have both capacities and
aggressiveness and
possessiveness the ability to
initiate and receive. Maleness
and femaleness are both
required to reflect the image of
God as revealed in the story of
creation.
But growth must take place
not only on the frontiers of
profession or career but also in
the realm of self understanding.
A devotional classic asked the
question, “Who am I when I am

not working?” Many persons
become workacholics because
they are afraid to face that
question. Furthermore, more
people commit suicide on the
weekend than any other time.
Psychiatrists call this
“weekend psychosis.” When the
structures of life in which
people have poured their
energies are removed and
persons are thrown back on
inner resources they find
nothing there. This is revealed
in Arthur Miller’s classic play,
“Death of a Salesman” in which
Willie Loman comes to a tragic
end. And one of his sons ob
serves that Willie never knew
who he really was.

insurance for U.S.: Claytor
ATLANTA (AP) — Pan
amanian self interest is the
United States’ best insurance
against any future closing of the
Panama Canal, according to
Secretary of the Navy W.
Graham Claytor.
“The best insurance we can
get is to have the population of
the country in which it is located
want to keep it open,” Claytor
told an Atlanta news conference
Tuesday.
Because the canal is Pan

Flynt glad
his bill
passed
Rep. Jack Flynt, expressed
pleasure today in the passage of
legislation to halt imposition of
the saccharin ban, a bill which
he co-sponsored.
Flynt said, “the bill prohibits
the Secretary of Health,
Education, and Welfare from
taking any action to prohibit or
restrict the sale or distribution
of saccharin or saccharin
containing products solely on
the basis of the carcinogenic or
other toxic effect of saccharin
as determined by any study
made available to him before
the date of enactment of this
legislation.
“Furthermore, the bill calls
for an 18-month review and
evaluation of all available in
formation respecting the
toxicity and carcinogenicity of
food additives, including in
formation respecting the ability
to predict the effect on humans
of food additives found to cause
cancer in animals and whether
there should be a weighing of
risks and benefits in making
regulatory decisions respecting
such additives.”
personal relationships. The
family is in trouble. No success
can adequately compensate for
failure in the home. The woman
is the crucial person in either
the elevation or the degradation
of the human family..
Gail Shehee tells of the 46-
year-old newscaster who
sacrificed family relationships
in his assent to the top. He said
upon arriving at the pennacle of
professional success, “I thought
I would find snow up here. But
there is no snow, there is only
salt.”

Opponents of the new canal
treaties say eventual Pan
amanian control of the water
way threatens United States se
curity.
But Claytor warned that re
jection of the treaties posed a
greater threat.
“I do think that if we do not
ratify the treaty, we would start
down an irreversible road,”
Claytor said. He said rejection
of the treaties would create
hostility to the U.S. in Latin
America and would make the
area susceptible to influence by
Communist powers.
“If we were to have more
Cubas up and down the coast of
Central and South America, our
Navy will be stretched so thin
we cannot control the seas,”
Claytor said.

Young poets
Two Griffin High students have been recognized by the Georgia Council of Teachers of
English for their literary talents. A poem, “Sunset,” by Malanle Manus was published in

Teachers of English submit student writing samples to be judged for the fall issue of The
