What’s an ideal house setting? ByL. M. BOYD What’s your notion of the ideal setting for a house? The Japanese traditionally believe a perfectly placed house should face south, overlooking a pond, with a stream on its east side, a long road on its west side and behind it, hills to the north. Our language man has filed the word “arachibutyrophobia” which he regards as a latter-day classic. It means “the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth.” The first free public school in Portland, Ore., was established by a pioneer teacher who’s never had a school building named after him: John Outhouse. A pronouncement from the American Museum of Natural History: “Pythons do not eat people as often as people eat pythons.” DON’T GIVE UP Q. “What happened to the man who delivered that memorable naval saying, ‘Don’t give up the ship’?” A. James Lawrence was the fellow. In 1813, the British fired on his ship “Chesapeake.” It sank. So saying, he sank with it. Q. “What’s a ‘dump nest’ for pheasants?” A. Sometimes a whole batch of those pheasant hens put as many as 20 or 30 eggs in a single nest. Mostly, none of those eggs hatch. Q. "What’s an ‘analog watch’?” A. A watch with hands. The old-timey kind. As opposed to a digital watch. Q. “What was the name of the cat in that 1961 movie ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’?” A. “Cat.” INDEPENDENT Rommie and Marilee Bryan own the Our Town restaurant in Waco, Texas. Evenings, they sing there, backed by a piano man and drummer. Rommie has both a business brain and a musical gift. As for Marilee, she has everything. Nobody in the big time—on film, stage or television—delivers country western any better than these two. They’re trained, tuned, timed, talented and terrific. But they choose not to flirt with Nashville, Hollywood or New York, They prefer to own themselves entirely Kind of refreshing to see musical performers of national stature purposely pick the reality of a home town over the fantasy of fame. A Danish dairyman has come up with an intriguing little machine that oh-so-delicately stamps the date each day on every hen’s egg he ships out. L. M.

Page 4 —Griffin Daily News Monday, November 14, 1977 Viewpoint Faimess to all The Griffin Daily News’ policy is to be fair to everyone. The editor’s opinions are confined to this page, and its columns are The living and the dead Seventy-two people died in a Southern Airliner crash and officials busily began trying to determine the cause of the crash and how to avoid another like it. A dam burst killing 37 people. Immediately safety checks of dams all Lee drops back The administration of the Thomaston School System and officials of R.E. Lee High School in Thomaston apparently feel the school cannot compete in AAA next year and the school will be dropping to the Georgia High School Association’s Class A. Through the years, as Griffin High fans and players will vouch, Lee has produced some powerhouse football teams. This year is no exception. Lee and Newnan will be playing Friday night for the Region 6-AAA championship. Enroute to the region playoff, Lee rolled over some of the region’s powers, in cluding Griffin. Now, with Lee dropping to Class A, the Rebels will be in the same subregion with Pike County, Taylor County, Manchester, Mary Persons and Jackson. Some of these may be powers in the region as it is now organized, but they are not competition for Lee. Lee athletic director Tommy Perdue said his players deserve to be in playoffs President’s address President Carter addressed the public the other night in an attempt to persuade people to conserve energy and to persuade Congress to complete work on his energy program. The first of his objectives has proven to be a practical impossibility in recent years. People in general don’t seem to be willing to sacrifice in order to conserve energy unless they are penalized for not doing so. That’s where the President’s Self preservation DEAR DR. GRAHAM: How can we reconcile the biblical admonition to practice unselfishness with the law of nature, which is self-preservation? Surely we cannot divorce God from nature. F. P. DEAR F. P.: We must be careful about describing self-preservation as a law of nature. This is true only to a certain degree. Many animals and birds are prepared to die for the sake of one another. Male birds are brightly plumed so they can draw the enemy away from the next, thus risking their own lives to save the female and the young. Adult animals will fight to the death to protect their babies. BiUy Graham My Answer -s open to every subscriber. Letters to the editor are published every Wednesday. Address letters to P.O.

Perhaps it is time to make an effort to learn more from the living and less from the dead. more than once in every 10 years. With competition the teams in 3-A west, Lee could expect to be in the playoff every year. Officials at Lee apparently are willing to make a monetary sacrifice too. The teams in Region 3-A West do not have the drawing power of the AAA teams. They have loyal fans, but do not have the masses the AAA schools draw. Lee has put itself and other schools in the region in a peculiar situation. Other schools say they won’t play Lee and Lee says it wants competition more com parable to its average daily attendance. Lee will be being unfair to its own players by competing in Class A. It also will be unfair to other players in the classification. Players at Lee have the ability to play in AAA and it may be a disappointment for it to take the field against schools where there is not as much talent and players cannot provide the competition Lee desires. second objective comes in; his energy program is designed to reward con servation and penalize energy waste. The way to the hearts of congressmen is through their constituency. This was the underlying reason for the President’s address — to appeal to the public to apply pressure to their congressmen. The way to do that is to caU or write yours. It is only the sin of selfishness in human Uves that has made us put self preservation as a first law. That is not the way with God. Jesus is our example. “When the time was come that he should be received up (on the Cross), he stead fastly set his face to go to Jerusalem” (Luke 9:51). He went to His death voluntarily, without making any attempt to preserve His life. When Christ comes into our lives He brings a new spiritual law to bear. It is this new law of the Spirit that frees us from the things of self and enables us to put Christ first in everything. Self-preservation is no longer a rule for Christians, for now Christ is the preserver of our lives. Paul calls it “carnaUy minded” to live for self and “spirituaUy minded” to live for Christ. “To be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. . .they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his” (Romans 8:6, 8 and 9). The beauty of old age Bertha M. Combs Every retiring person is not necessarily old or very aged. Many persons have other plans for life as soon as they get the salary self-sufficient to retire. So they retire to do something they have always wanted to do when they were working but did not have the time. Simply because a person retires from a regular job many people think him very old. However, regardless to the age of anyone there is “Beauty in Old Age.” The old saying, “One should grow old sweetly” has merit and beauty to those who will live by the slogan. Everyone grows older every day that he lives. To grow old sweetly Involves the total person, the total personality. There are those young persons who speak critically about the age of other persons. They do not realize that the only way to not grow old Is to "die young.” When a baby is bom, the age is stated in terms of one hour old, the word “one hour young” is never used in stating the chronological age of anyone no matter how young he may be. Retired persons do not have to be very old to retire from one job, because the industrious person will take up another. Retirement is taken by many persons for different reasons, time served after starting too young to work in the first place, illness or disability. The person who is alert prepares himself to retire. He plans long before retirement what he can do to help himself and also reach out to help humanity live a fuller life and a happier life. Older persons can contribute to the community much to the betterment of the total society. They can form clubs and work for the good for all the people even those who may be disabled and less fortunate, give free service to the general community, the school, the Church, and even the shut-in and to children In special guidance. Members of the local, State, and National Retired Associations give volunteer service as teachers, cooks, lunchroom workers, physical fitness helpers for both children and aging adults who may be handicapped. The true adult Christian has genuine unwavering faith in God and deep prayer commitment, deep desires to teach the way of the Lord and a willingness to lead in Church activities and give of their time freely to demonstrate his love for Christ Jesus. Paul, a servant of Christ, wrote many letters to his young followers. Paul wrote letters of encouragement to those he was about to leave behind to carry on the work of the Gospel of Christ. "Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially they who labor in the world and doctrine.” First Timothy 5:17. These words serve as guidance to the young follower of Christ. “For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” Second Timothy 4:6, 7. The blessed assurance that the believer has in that he has lived the life that Christ Jesus wants him and done the things that are pleasing to the Lord is more than wonderful to those who would believe in God. The adult Christian seeks to help others understand and encourages the younger people to do that which is right in the sight of God. There are those adults who say about young people, "They will learn better In the future.” It is true that it takes time for one to develop into an adult, but there is no guarantee of a future for anyone. It is limitless what adults can do to help spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The truly redeemed adult senior Christian will try hard and refrain from judging his fellowman, to live by the Scriptures, to forgive with kindness and love. The aging person who lives up to "The Beauty of Old Age” lives a fuller life. 53 Hawaiian island , 57 Loves (Lat.) 58 Floes 61 Polynesian god 62 Chinese premier En Lai 63 Building wing 64 Actor Blore 65 Heavy weights 66 Yes DOWN 1 Skinny fish 2 Support 3 Malarial fever • 4 Prohibit 5 I possess (contr.) 6 Office table 7 English county 8 Court officer 9 Hotels 10 1900 s art style 11 Water bird 16 Normandy invasion day 20 Actress Gabor ACROSS 1 Environment I agency (abbr.) i 4 Wait i 8 Offers 12 Unit of energy , 13 Bird class 14 Again 15 Volume ( 17 Indian of Peru 18 Went quickly 1 19 Ship reinforcement 1 21 Gridder group 24 16, Roman 25 Reuse 29 Burning 33 Sooner than 34 Beds 36 Dancer Astaire 37 Not one 39 Florida county 41 Chess piece 42 Ancient port of Rome 44 Mighty cataract 46 Depart this life 48 Genetic material (abbr.) 49 Keep 1 |2 |3 |4 15 16 17 ”T“7cT" 11 12 13 14 ns ” 17 75 ■Biflni - 20 “22 2^8824 _ 25 |26 127 3o“ “ “ 33 HP* 37 7T 46 49 50 51 S^THBjHsS - 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 ”63 64 65 66 15- Your letter is welcome!
