Commandments
of resistance
In every conquered country occupied by foreign soldiers
there thrives a resistance movement, an underground.
One of these flourished in Czechoslovakia when the
Soviets moved into that nation and therein was con
ceived: “The Ten Commandments of Resistance—We
haven’t learned anything. We don’t know anything. We
don’t have anything. We don’t give anything. We can’t do
anything. We don’t sell anything. We won’t help. We don’t
understand. We don’t betray. WE WON’T FORGET
ANYTHING.”
Item No. 1956A in our Love and War man’s file is a
remark delivered by Baroness Vickers in a British House
of Lords debate on pornography: “Women would not be
prostitutes were it not for men.”
Fonzie on TV’s “Happy Days” only had 6 lines in the
show’s pilot. No aspiring actor should turn down a bit

Q. “How big is Costa Rica’s standing army?”
A. It hasn’t any. Nor any arsenal, evidently. When
President Lyndon B. Johnson visited there 9 years ago,
Costa Rica had to borrow a cannon from El Salvador for
the 21-gun salute.
Q. “Didn’t Charles A. Lindbergh carry U. S. airmail on
his famous non-stop solo flight across the Atlantic?”
A. Two letters only. Each now sells for more than
>40,000 incidentally.
Q. “Where’s the ‘potato Bowl’ football game played?”
A. At the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, N.
D. That Spud Game got its start 11 years ago.
OFFICE WORKERS
If that high school student in your family isn’t taking
any business courses, you might advise the youngster to
do so. Most needed in the 1960 s job market will be those
who can type, file, keep books and run the various office
machines. Or such be the indications in a study by
Manpower, Inc., the world’s biggest temporary help
supplier.
The American Indian is not without, humor please note.
Popular are certain punchlines on the reservations. Os
Gen. George Custer after Little Big Horn: “He wore an
Arrow shirt.” And of Christopher Columbus as the Santa
Maria arrived: “There goes the neighborhood.”
Am asked to identify the heaviest team-sport ball.
Would you count that oversized puck used in the ice
shuffleboard game of curling? It’s supposed to weigh
between 42% and 44 pounds.
Was from none other than Guy Fawkes, the historic
British conspirator who tried to blow up the House of
Lords, that we get our slang word “guy.”

Some folks might show up an hour early
for Sunday School or Church Sunday but
we suspect you could count them on your

If they do, you can bet they forgot to set 4
their clocks back an hour Saturday night.

most people will set their clocks back an
hour before they go to bed.
Remember when many moaned about
the hour of sleep they lost last April when
the nation went on daylight (fast) time?
They can get it back Sunday morning.
For a little while. . . .
They’ll lose it again next April,
remember.

DEAR C. T. N.: I know the memory of
things we have done wrong is often with us
for a long time, and we feel ashamed
because we know we failed God when we
sinned. But that memory should not haunt
us, nor should we confuse memory with
guilt. I remember things I have done that
were wrong, but I know those things have
been forgiven by God and I no longer bear
the guilt.
The only way to be free of feelings of
guilt is to believe and trust God’s Word

My Answer
when He tells us we have been forgiven.
Why does God forgive us? First, He
forgives us because all of our sins were
placed on Jesus when He died on the cross.
“He himself bore our sins in his body on
the cross, so that we might die to sins and
live for righteousness; by his wounds you
have been healed” (I Peter 2:24, New
International Version). “The blood of
Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all
sin” (I John 1:7). God also forgives us
x because we turn to Him in repentance and
faith, confessing our sins to Him. “If we
confess our sins, he is faithful and just to
forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from
all unrighteousness” (I John 1:9).
Yes, in Christ we can have forgiveness.
Learn to trust God’s Word, not your
feelings. God’s Word says, “As far as the
east is from the west, so far hath he
removed our transgressions from us”
(Psalm 103:12). Or again, the Bible says,
“their sins and their iniquities will I
remember no more” (Hebrews 8:12). God
doesnot want you to bear a burden of guilt.
That is why He sent His Son-to take away
that burden.

Floyd, Pirates
making progress
By JAMES STEWART
News Executive
This is his first year as head coach of the Pike County
Pirates and Coach Bobby Floyd feels his team has made a
lot of progress and it has.
The Pirates are 2-6 this season and there is no hope now
of the season being a winner for the players or the coach.
Coach Floyd has not become discouraged by the fact
that his team has won only 2 games. He has been well
pleased with the play of his players and believes some of
the improvement he talked about at the beginning of the
season is beginning to show.
A challenge faced Floyd when he took over the reins of
the Pirates. He inherited a team that is young and had few
experienced players. Many of his players matured a lot
when they faced Stockbridge and Manchester in the first 2
games of the season. Both teams were bigger and
stronger than the Pirates.
Coach Floyd is young and enthusiastic and is filled with
the spirit to keep a football team together and to make the
players want to play a better game each week. His spirit
and enthusiasm spills over to his players and during the
week they eagerly await the Friday night match with
another opponent.
Injuries have plagued the Pirates this year and 2 of
Coach Floyd’s key players are out for the season. He had
counted heavily on them to push the Pirates to the
forefront.
Not discouraged, he had to make some shifts in the
backfield to compensate. The injuries continued to plague
the Pirates and the changes became an almost weekly
routine.
Players who had been on the line had to be shifted to the
backfield. They made mistakes, some of them costly to
the Pirates, but Coach Floyd was not discouraged. He
knew his players had talent and it was just a matter of
developing the talent.
Some players were tried in the backfield and did not
make it. They have talent that may come about in another
year or 2, but they were immature for the competition
Pike faced.
The competition has been tough. Manchester, Lamar
County and Mary Persons have listed in AP’s top 10 in
Class A at one time or another during the year. Henry
County is probably the most improved team in Class AA.
Coach Floyd was determined and his players were
determined. Their determination has turned this year
into one of success for the Pirates, even though it does not
show in their record.
Coach Floyd is just like many other coaches in this area,
Georgia and around the country. He is hard-nosed when
he has to be and yet he has heart.
He loves football and he loves his players.
The Pirates have 2 remaining games this year—
Jackson and Taylor County. Win or lose this season has
been a success for the Pirates.
The grind this year has been hard for Coach Floyd and
the Pirates, but spirit, enthusiasm and determination
have brought them through.
After being with the Pirates through this season and
talking with Coach Floyd this year, we believe we will be
hearing a lot of good things from them in seasons ahead.
Coach Floyd always has talked about the positive and
that is his attitude toward his team and the future.
