Handicapped People Are
Good, Efficient Workers
Every year more employers are dis
covering that handicapped people make
good, efficient workers if placed on jo s
for which they are qualified. However,
everyone does not yet know the truth a
bout the words, “Hire the handicapped; it’s
good business.’’
One in every ten Americans is handi
capped. This is a fact that was revealed
by a national health survey through house
hold interviews. The disabilities includes
deaf, blind, other hearing impairments,
paralysis, disorders of bones, or joints,
or muscles, loss of limbs and many others,
too numerous to list
Many of these men and women are suc
cessfully employed. Others are not in the
labor market; for a variety of reasons they
are not seeking jobs.
But many are unemployed, not because
they want to be idle, but because they run
into strong, invisible silken curtain of pre
judice.
There is a job for every handicapped
worker in the labor market, if employers
will consider the abilities and not the dis
abilities of the handicapped. When proper
ly placed workers as a rule are enthus
iastic, hard workers and satisfactory in
their tasks. Their accident rate is low and
their production record is high. This ap
plies to both handicapped and non-handi
capped.
The concern is not merely with finding
jobs for the handicapped currently unem
ployed. Our efforts and our enthusiasm
would not lessen one bit if we were told
that this ye^ we would be helping fewer
handicapped persons than we helped last
year. We are involved in no numbers game.
Instead, the primary concern is with
a certain ‘climate.’ A healthy climate in
which a man's ability will count, rather
than his disability; in which the handicap
ped will be able to find jobs if they have
the necessary skills and qualifications; in
which the handicapped will be able to
move to better things in keeping with their
talents and abilities, unfettered by pre
judice; in which ‘can do’ will be the ruling
order, rather than ‘can’t do.’
So if a person with a physical handicap
should apply for work with you, don’t turn
him or her down, just because of a handi
cap. Consider the qualifications and if they
meet your requirements, give him or her
an opportunity to prove their abilities.
Anything Worth Doing
Is Worth Doing Well -
No-Half Measures
With eager youth back at school and
college, reflecting on Life’s Threshold on
which they stand; and with their elders re
turned from vacation to resume tne life
iweal-life-is-earnest routine in office and
store and factory, some cogitation on the
significance of excellence may be in order.
The paragraphs quoted below are from
the current issue of the Aluminum Bul
letin, quarterly magazine of the Aluminum
Association:
“Sustained and penetrating cues warn
us to dedicate ourselves to excellence if
our free society is to survive. Now is an
opportunity for greatness -a time for de
votion rather than diversion, exertion
rather than inertia.
“The call to excellence leaves no man
unsummoned; sweeper and statesman,
machine operator and physicist, all are
privileged to cultivate awareness and dis
concernment of quality. Each is challenged
to develop excellence in the product he
makes, the service he performs or the
trade he follows.
“Whoever accepts the challenge travels
in noble company. His companions are the
leaders, the seekers and the pace-setters of
civilization. They are strong men in their
line of endeavor in whom quality is second
nature; they put their utmost in all they
give and expect it in all they receive. Their
lives have meaning and they work toward
exhilarating goals.
“The quest for quality is contagious and
so is indifference to it Each man who
learns the meaning of quality and strives
for it is capable of inspiring others and
kindling in them a lasting appreciation of
this trait. When all individuals in an organ
ization are caught in the driving search for
quality, their collective strength is hard
to beat.
“And the strength of a country, too,
depends on the cumulative strength of its
Individuals and institutions. For America
there could be no more durable bulwark
against destruction than the devotion of
her people to the pursuit of excellence."
There was never a better time to pre
sent and to ponder these sentiments.

Glad Mrs. Kennedy
Does Spend $30,000
Yearly On Clothes
While Vice President Nixon in Peoria,
and her husband a few blocks away, were
sparring for the Presidency, Mrs. Jackie
Kennedy sounded off in her Waldorf suite
on Catholicism and\ clothes.
She resented, she said, the criticism
that she spent too much on clothes, denied
the published report that her shopping a
mounted to $30,000 a year, and said she
was sure she spent less on apparel than
Mrs. Nixon. This sort of thing, and attacks
on Jack’s religion, she thought were
“dreadfully unfair.”
We think the lady has something there
- even though the Senator has had a hand
himself in keeping the Catholicism issue
alive. As for the finery, why shouldn’t
Jackie spend $30,000 a year, or twice that,
if she wants to. The Kennedys wouldn’t
miss it, and it would help the fashion bus
iness and sundry seamstresses.
More significantly, this sort of carping
on both subjects-might be all it would take
to upset the GOP applecart in this closely
contested campaign.
Nothing Like Seeing
Candidates In Person
Between now and election day millions
of people will have the chance to see their
next President in person-thanks, in large
part, to the railroad train.
Both candidates Nixon and Kennedy re
gard the campaign train as one of the best
ways of reaching voters outside of the
large cities. In this, they are following an
old tradition. It began in 1840, with Wil
liam Harrison’s “Tippecanoe and Tyler
too” campaign. Since then virtually all
candidates for the presidency, successful
and unsuccessful, have taken to the rails.
William Jennings Bryan was a whistle
stopper extraordinary—his 24 talks in one
day is still a record. Harding was the first
rail campaigner to have a loudspeaker in
stalled on the rear platform. Coolidge,
with typical Yankee thrift, bulked at the
extra cost of special trains and had his
car attached to a regularly scheduled train
and ate in the regular diner—this caused
so many security and other problems that
railroads serving Washington began oper
ating presidential specials at no extra fare.
The most devoted train traveler of all was
F. D. Roosevelt, who rode more than 350,-
000 miles in 399 rail trips. And Harry Tru
man used trains extensively in his famous
“Give ’em Hell” campaign of 1948, when
he upset all the predictions.
A campaign train is a rolling city, and
it’s a big job to provide and maintain
all the special facilities required. But the
job is being done quietly, efficiently and
unobtrusively, as Vice President Nixon
and Senator Kennedy, following tradition,
make their pleas for voter support.
New York Now Has
Greatest Living Rogues
Gallery Ever Assembled
With the opening of the 15th session of
the UN General Assembly, that inter-na
tional compound on the East River shore
of New York's Manhattan Island becomes
the greatest living rogues gallery assembl
ed in North America.
Khrushchev. Castro. Nasser. Tito-each
with his personal convoy of thugs-collect
ively the biggest security headache in the
history of the New York Police Depart
ment. Only Mao and Lumumba, those other
ornaments among the world’s “heads of
state,” are missing. And who knows but
that the Congolese Whatzit will make the
party-unless some of his followers are
having him for lunch.
Unconfirmed at this writing is the rum
or that Nasser and Tito will visit Wash
ington. Asked at his press conference what
would happen if Khrush and Fidel broke
the parole which restricts their movements
to Manhattan Island (for their own pro
tection) Secretary of State Herter joined
in the ensuing laughter before replying
that he couldn’t give a “definite answer”
to a “speculative question." Thus, these
buddies may come along too for all anyone
can say. No one asked why the travel re
striction was ordered if he didn’t think he
could make it stick.
Chances that the inevitable Donny
brook in the Manhattan No-Man’s-Land
will advance the cause of world peace are
on a par with those for icecapades in the
nether regions.
There is nothing wrong with women
that can’t be corrected by masculine pa
tience.

: The Adoration of God.
This, one of the most beauti
ful of the psalms, is also one of
the most significant. It is re
velatory of the nature of God
and his relation to the kingdom,
to David, and to the Messiah.
The psalm itself gives the
occasion of its composition. It
is a psalm of David, written
when the ark of Jehovah was
brought to Jerusalem from the
house of Obed-edom (I Chron.
15:16 - 24). A series of psalms
was composed for the event,
celebrating the glory of Jeru
salem as the city of God’s ark
and tabernacling presence.
The event, therefore, was one
which, first of all, gave a great
dignity to Jerusalem, making
it a holy city, that is, a city set
apart or separated for a parti
cular function, to be God’s cen
ter of government. Second, the
event was important in terms
of the Davidic kingship. Jeho
vah, in permitting the move of
the ark to Jerusalem and the
coincidence of his sanctuary
with the Davidic governmental
center, indicated thereby h i s
approval of David’s kingship.
More than that, it gave open
confirmation of the Messianic
promises to be fulfilled in t h e
tribe of Judah, which was to
attain kingship and be the ve
hicle of the Messianic appear
ance (Gen. 49:10). The scepter,
kingship, had come to Judah in
the person of David. Now Je
hovah, in this approval of t h e
ark’s transfer to David’s city,
gave public notice that this was
the destined house and foun
tainhead of the Messiah. As a
result, the psalm celebrated
five advents: first, the coming
of the ark to Jerusalem; second,
the coming of David to Jerusa
lem in the happy procession;
third, the coming of the Lord
to Jerusalem; fourth, the ulti
mate coming of the Messiah to
Jerusalem: fifth, the entrance
of Christ into his true kingdom
and true glory after his victory
over sin and death.
The tremendous joy expres
sed in this psalm is not un
derstandable until we recog
nize that David saw the far
reaches of meaning in the en
trance of the ark into Jerusa
lem. The great holiness of the
ark, plus the significance in
God’s assent to his kingdom,
were not lost on David, and
they must not be lost on us.
We, like David, are pilgrims
in that great procession to the
holy city, the new Jerusalem
which is from above, led by the
true ark of God, Jesus Christ,
and finding entrance only be
cause He, both ark and king,
is alone the one for whom those
mighty gates are ever lifted up.
The opening declaration is
significant in terms of the
event. Some might deem t h e
occasion, called by one scholar
“the investiture of Jerusalem”
a local affair. But the Lord’s
approvr’ of the Davidic house
and his confirmation of its pro
phetic role was an event of
world significance, and the first
verse brought the world into
view to emphasize this.
The earth and all its inhabi
tants are the private possession
of God. his domain and proper
ty. He is therefore to be served
by the whole world and recog
nized as the only true God by
all nations. David, therefore, in
bringing the ark to Jerusalem,
was mindful that the sanctuary
to be established there was not
merely to be a national shrine
but the center of the only true
and universal faith. This was
also recognized by Solomon at
the dedication of the temple,
when he prayed that God would
be especially mindful of the
prayers of foreigners coming to
the temple “that all the people
of the earth may know thy
name, to fear thee” (1 Km«s
8:41 - 43).
The whole creation was to be
blessed by God’s choice of
David and of Jerusalem, and
the whole creation was there
fore in David’s mind as he en
tered Jerusalem with the ark.
There can, therefore, be uo
question as to David’s awe and
understanding of the event of l
that day. God claimed the |
whole world as his possession, I
and through his King of glory ■
would repossess it in glory. j
David then declared that Je
hovah, using the emphatic
“He,” meaning He alone and
none other, created this earth,
[causing the waters and dry land
to form, creating all the life
thereof and sustaining it as
well. The doctrine of creation
is here poetically but realisti
cally asserted.
Basic to all the true faith is
the doctrine of creation. The
Epistle to the Hebrews, in de
fining true faith, empasizes the
doctrine of creation, “that the
worlds were framed by the
word of God. so that things
which are seen were not made
of things which do appear”
(Heb. 11:3). God’s claim on
creation is precisely that, of
creator. God can justly claim
to re-create men and creation,
because it is his to begin with
and has, in rebellion, altered its
nature.
God can claim absolute au
thority and power over all crea
tion precisely because every
atom thereof was called into
existence, shaped, given its na
ture and history by his so
vereign word. The minute we
begin to hedge on the doctrine
of creation, and to the extent
that we do, we give creation an
independence from God.
Thus Phariseeism and Sadu
ceeism both gave scant atten
tion to the doctrine, as did
Gnosticism and other later
heresies in the church. David
brought in the doctrine of crea
tion as the ground of Jehovah’s
absolute sovereign authority.
The first and second verses are
.joined by the conditional “for.”
More than this, David brought
in the doctrine of universal so
vereignty, because of creation,
in order to prepare the way
for the universal acclamation of
Jehovah as King. All creation

must seek his face and hail Him
i the King of Glory. David had
in mind God’s supreme sover
| eignty over all things and
I Jehovah’s eternal kingdom.
David in verse 3 of Psalms
24 recognizes that it is a great
privilege for man to be receiv
ed by God and to appear be
fore his place. The question
asked is, who shall have this
privilege? Here, as everywhere
in Scripture, a text must be
; seen in its context.
Basic to all thinking was that
। only the covenant people of
| God, those who by faith accept
ed the passover sacrifice and
linked themselves with the con
| gregation of Israel, were able
ito approach God.
The approach to the holy
place in the tabernacle could
|be made only in the person of
i the priest, who entered as the
' representative of the congrega
tion. Thus, sacrifice was the
basic premise of all approaches
to God. But not ail approaches
were of necessity ritual, that is,
by means of the tabernacle.
Worshipers are asked to affirm
their belief in Jehovah and
“stand in his holy place.”

Letters To
The Editor

Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
Enclosed you will find my
remittance for a subscription
for your fine newspaper.
It is indeed a pleasure to
read the “New»” every week.
It makes one ina city of politi
cal pressure, crime, and rush
ing people feel good to read a
real home - town paper.
After four years in the Na
tion’s Capital, I still miss New
ton County and my many
friends there. In this city of
Washington, a place of almost
daily parades and visiting top
V.I. P.’s of all nations I have
a chance to see almost all of
them in one way or another.
Since my recent transfer from
the F. 8.1. to the Metropolitan
Police of the District of Colum
bia, I have been involved with
the security of these visiting of
ficials and believe me it takes
a while to get use to a small
town boy meeting and seeing
all of the great leaders of the
world. Only day before yester
day I had the pleasure of see
ing the Prince and Princess of
Japan and last night the world
renowned rocket expert, Dr.
Werner Von Braun. Yes, this
is truly a city of history and
excitement, but I still miss
Georgia.
Sincerely,
C. Wavne Kirk
