We overheard a discussion the other day in
which one person declared emphatically and cat
egorically, that half the population of the United
States was under 21 years of age. His com
panion insisted with equal emphasis that only
2 persons in every 5 were under 21.
We checked with the Census Bureau and learn
ed that the 40 percent figure was correct How
ever, we can understand the first man’s be
lief. Assuredly, it does seem as though the
young folks are in the majority today, and any
one over 21 is looked upon by them as a senior
citizen starting down the long toboggan slide
of life.
While we don’t exactly subscribe to that, we
do applaud the spirit that prompts it There’s
just no doubt that the 40 percent who are under
21 take a more active part in the world about
them than has any generation in our nation’s
history. Maybe it would be more accurate to
say 39 percent selfish pursuits-the element that
certain comedians are referring to nowadays as
“the banana smokers.’’
Because we keep hearing so much about the
loveniks, the peaceniks and the nutniks, it may
Forty million boatmen in the United States
were on the waters in eight million pleasure
boats last year. Their love of boating added
nearly three billion dollars to the country’s ec
onomy. This is big business, involving a lot
of people. And like any other pleasure sport
where movement and possible conflict are in
volved, safety becomes of prime importance.
The week of July 2-8 is National Safe Boat
ing Week, and the Georgia Safety Council is
urging all people who have anything to do with
the operation of boats in Georgia to join in this
observance, and to make safe boating a year
round effort
The Safety Council points out that boating is
a great pleasure when all those involved with
it carry out safe practices in operating their
boats.

we have in our 39 percent. Who and where are
they? A complete inventory would be imposs
ible, but we can think immediately of a samp
ling of five worth noting. And since these young
folks would be embarrassed if we identified them
by name we’ll employ fictitious names:
Jimmy Jones, who figures he will earn some
thing like S3OO free and clear this summer,
to be applied to his college education.
Sam Smith, who expects to acquire four more
merit badges before he returns home from Sc
out camp.
Mary Brown, who seems to spend half her life
in the library. She’s set her sights on being
a teacher.
Jane Bryan, who tells us she would like to
be a doctor, and is doing part-time work in
a hospital this summer.
Ed Johnson, who had his first furlough the
other day and looked mighty sharp in uniform.

list. But the town is full of young people like
this, and it makes this senior citizen, over 21,
feel good to realize it
Safe Boating Week
Channel buoys are placed in strategic positions
for specific purposes, and it is up to boaters
operate their craft accordingly.
A boat should be properly equipped before you
cast off. The Georgia Safety Council points
out that Federal Law requires boats on navi
gable waters to carry a Coast Guard approved
life-saving device for each person aboard. Mo
torboats must carry an approved fire extingu
isher and proper navigation lights. In addition,
an extra fuel can should be carried, along with
a tool kit, paddle, first aid kit, anchor and line.
Weather forecasts should be checked, as well
as any unusual tides or currents .
The Georgia Safety Council joins with the Com
mittee for National Safe Boating Week in warn
ing boaters to display plenty of courtesy and
common sense.

Men with Good News
We now come to the second les
son of a new quarter that will
take us through the second half
of the Acts of the Apostles.
In all of our study we are to
remember that the Book of Acts
is a missionary textbook and is
recorded to show the mission of
the church and how it was con
ducted by the apostles in obed
ience to the final commands of
Christ. This biblical book is a
model for missionary activity
and church growth.
In the lesson of last week we
saw the beginning of the over
seas missionary enterprise of the
church. Antioch was a city of at
least 200,000 pagan people. But
when the Holy Spirit said to the
little Christian church there,
“Separate unto me Saul and Barn
abas for the work whereunto I
have called them,” the church
did not reply “Oh no, we could
never spare our two best preach
ers. We have too much to do at
home.”
They fasted and prayed and
sent them forth, and thus the
overseas missionary enterprise
began. But what happened to
the little church In Antioch
because it gave its best to obey
the missionary mandate of Chr
ist? That church became the
greatest Christian congregation
in the world.
We may safely say no church
ever does less in its home par
ish because It gives Its best to
fulfill the command of Christ.
After a successful mission on
the Island of Cyprus during wh
ich even the governor or deputy,
Sergius Paulus, was converted,
the apostles set sail tc the main
land of Asia Minor. It was during
the mission on the island of Cy
prus that Saul was first called
Paul. It is possible that this
Romanized form of his Jewish
name Saul was adapted from
that of the Roman deputy Ser
gius Paulus.

TO HOLD THE
WORLD TOGETHER
Writing to the Colosslans (1:
17) the apostle speaking of Ch
rist says, “He Is before all th
ings, and in him aU things hold
together.”
For sheer audacity you can
hardly find anything to compare
with these words. Paul was wri
ting not to a Church two thousand
years old or to a Christian ci
vilization, but to only a few
scattered people. Most of them
had not heard about Jesus, and to
tell them that there was One in
the small country of Palestine
who had been crucified and was
the unifying principle of the wor
ld sounded like nonsense.
Sometime in the second cen
tury another Christian whose na
me we do not know wrote a let
ter to his friend Diognetus. He
said that the relation of Chris
tians to the world is as the soul
to the body, and they are the
ones who hold the world toget
her.
That Is something we will do
well to think about in these days.
Whether we are pleased at the
thought of It or not, the fact re
mains that it is one world. This
statement has become trite and
now is little cause for excite
ment. However, I remember
when Wendell Willkle returned
from a flight around the world
during World War H and wrote
a book entitled ONE WORLD. The
book was received with mixed
feelings. Yet twenty-five years
later we can realize, that even
In the midst of war, to that one
man at least, It was clear that
this was one world.
When a man first sailed a
wooden sailing ship around the
world in 1500, It took three years.
Men now are propelled around the
world in a capsule In a mere
hour. That gives some idea of
just how smaU the world really
is. The smallness of it makes
It similar, so that wherever we
are we feel at home. The same
problems of traffic, smog, over
crowding haunt the larger com
munities in many lands. The
world is rapidly becoming Amer
icanized or Westernized or In
dustrialized. We wear the same
style of clothing, and Increasing
ly we think the same thoughts.
We might say, in the second
place, that if it is one world,
it is also one mess. We can
look to Berlin with its dividing
wan as a symbol of our time.
On one side Is the busy indus
trial West Berlin, and on the
other side are the empty streets
of East Berlin. The wall was
built, not to keep us out, but to
keep them in. Men die in their
attempts to escape and others
THE COVINGTON NEWS
On the mainland the apostles
preached in several cities and
were received by many Jews
and also Gentiles with cordial
goodwill and belief In their mes
sage. However, their success
stirred up the enmity and per
secution of unbelieving Jews, and
Paul and Barnabas were driven
from city to city on this first
missionary journey.
In the city of Iconlum, Paul
and Barnabas stayed for a con
siderable time. The Lord grant
ed many signs and wonders to
authenticate their ministry, and
the missionaries were there ter
med “apostles.” However, per
secution took place In Iconlum
also, and the missionaries had to
flee. Thus they came to Lystra
and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and
continued to preach there, as our
lesson for today relates.
When they learned of the plot
against their lives In Iconlum
the missionaries moved on to
new fields, which was no doubt
the proper course, for Christ
had Instructed his witnesses that
when they were persecuted In one
place they were to move on to
another.
Lystra was a Roman colony
founded by Augustus Caesar in
6 B. C. It was located on a
hill about eighteen miles south
west of Iconlum. There was no
synagogue In Lystra, so far as
we know. This fact, however,
did not keep Paul and Barnabas
from preaching.
As the Apostle Paul was en
gaged in this open-air evangel
ism he noticed a man giving
special attention. It so happened
that this particular listener was
lame and had been so from the
time of his birth.
As the lame man listened in
tently, the speaker was also
attracted to him, and, Inspired
by the leading of the Holy Spirit,
the Apostle was able to see that
the man had the faith necessary
to be healed.
At this point the Apostle Paul
broke off his sermon and, turning
to the cripple, said with a loud
voice, so all could hear, “Stand
upright on thy feet.” And the
cripple, having the faith to make
the attempt, leaped and walked.
We are all crippled by sin
and unable to stand for Christ,
much less to leap and walk in
his service, but when the Lord
can see that we have faith he
gives us healing and we begin
a new spiritual life.
WnriiaSn
escape by the skin of their teeth.
Two-and-a-half million Jews are
surrounded by forty million Ar
abs who have sworn to drive them
Into the sea and destroy them.
In our one nation Indivisible, the
civil rights struggle seems to
know no end.
With all the differences, with
all the confusion, with all the
jealousy and rivalry among men
and nations, there Is yet one great
faith by which we may be bound
together. Men are united when
they have a sense of their com
mon heritage and their common
destiny. They are united by
what they believe about God and
about themselves. This is not
merely the word of a preacher
either. It is also what the ske
ptic Bertrand Russell said some
time ago when, rather shame
facedly, he confessed that, if
there was to be any healing, it
had to be from what the Chris
tians call love. It Is time for
Christians to say what Paul said
about Jesus as the One in whom
men meet and what that unknown
author of the letter to Diogne
tus said when he told his friend
that Christians hold the world
together.
Would you agree then, that we
need to right now remember who
we are and what we have been
called upon to do? Yes, and
recovering our sense of mis
sion, we can know that small
though this planet may now be,
It is yet large enough for us all
if we accept with renewed vi
sion the call of God, “to hold
the world together.”

know the illness. “You are not
likely to convince an alcoholic
that he’s sick enough to need
help unless you really believe
yourself that he Is sick and know
enough about the illness to be
able to argue the case convinc
ingly.” This will require some
preparation on your part. You
will need to be reading and lis
tening If you are going to be
helpful.
Next, we should ready oursel
ves to accept the Implications of
the illness concept completely.
This may come as a shock for
some of us who look on the
“alcoholic problem” from a dif
ferent view point. Learn to ac
cept the Idea that here Is a sick
man who needs all the help that
he can get. We need to remind
ourselves again that If he’s sick,
then will power, lectures or “if
you-really-loved - me” please
won’t do any good.
When we learn to accept the
implications then we need to fol
low next by learning the symp
toms of the sickness. We are
told in The Fairfield Plan that
In order to help the patient we
should learn the symptoms well
enough that we can show the per
son clearly and briefly how his
behavior fits Into the progres
sive pattern of the Illness. Do
let us be clear at this point by
reminding ourselves that the sy
mptoms we may cite must be ba
sed on greater authority than your
own wisdom and opinions, or they
will have little influence on him.
To know the Illness leads us to
know the prognosis of what will
problaby happen to him and the
family if he “doesn’t” recover.
We are reminded that this is not
likely to be a pleasant prospect
for the general prognosis fore
tells broken families, emotion
ally disturbed children, stunted
careers and unemployment, mul
tiplying debt, suicide, and lives
otherwise shortened (an average
of twelve and one-half years)
by deteriorating physical health
or accidental death. Now if you
have a feeling of wanting to doubt
this grim picture you will find
the grim alternatives thoroughly
documented In the professional
literature.
In the second place, we should
try to understand recovery. That
is know how it works. We must
remind ourselves at this point
from the record before us, that
“recovery is a process, not a
condition." Several methods of
treatment are available such as
the physical medicine, psychi
atry, AA, drugs and spiritual
counseling. As a rule these are
used In some combination, but
whatever the method, there are
four essentials to any recovery.
Our Plan Book lists four.
1. The alcoholic must ac
cept the fact of his condition:
that he suffers from a chronic but
treatable illness.
2. He must stop drinking al
though abstinence is not, by a long
shot, all there is to recovery.
3. He must become willing to
do what is necessary to aid his
own recovery.
It was a great relief to get
the traffic report for Georgia
highways on the holiday this year.
No traffic deaths on the 4th. But,
throughout the nation other states
were not so lucky. There were
678 killed on the highways and
the reports were still coming in
to the National Safety Council
office.
A great deal of the credit for
a safe holiday weekend goes to
the over 1,000 additional Geor
gia State Patrolmen who worked
extra long hours over the holi
day with local police and coun
ty officers to police our high
ways.
It is appalling to read traffic
fatality statistics In our nation
and then compare them to the
dead of the Vietnam War. We
have a war going right here in
our state and nation on our high
ways.
These days we hear so much,
especially In Georgia, about sa
fety Inspection of vehicles. This
is needed, but how can we and
why don’t we do a better job of
educating and safety inspecting
the drivers of vehicles that are
allowed behind the wheel of an
automobile.
The teeth In our safety laws
are made of chalk. The fines
imposed are a laugh on the lo
cal and state level. Officers of
the law have become demoralized
because they know that after they
do their job of apprehending of
fenders our courts turn them
loose with “laughing stock” sen
tences.

seems to have become accepted
by our people. They think “it

long - range adjustment in his
self-understanding a continuing
ability to accept life and himself
for what they really are.
We are reminded that our plan
should look towards the full pro
cess of recovery. With this In
mind we should fit the plan suit
able to the kind of treatment he
will need. For Instance, “if he
has been drinking continuously
or quite heavily for some time,
or if he has been mixing his
drinking with some other form
of sedation, then immediate hos
pitalization may be in order. If
he has considered suicide or has
shown signs of severe depres
sion, then psychiatric evaluation
may be a must. On this phase
of the plan it is particularly
important to seek competent ad
vice.
Watch out for the pit fall of
trying to get quick results with a
one-step plan. Learn all you can
and recognize that fact that there
are still gaps in professional
education on alcoholism so that
whom you consult, in any pro
fession, can be crucial.

our thoughts on preparation and

can’t happen to me.” How wr
ong they are. A fatal accident
that affects a family is usually
the means of opening the eyes
of those touched by the loss of
loved ones. Until it happens,
too few people take note of the
“loaded automobile” that they
pilot.
It is not good enough to be a
“good” driver anymore. We
now must drive for ourselves
and the other fellow who Is not
a responsible driver. We know
this as defensive driving. We
all must travel to some extent,
and we all drive in fear each
time we get behind the wheel
—or we should.
The speeding hulk of an auto
mobile is no respector of flesh,
life, or property. It is a mac
hine that reacts only as well as
the form of humanity behind its
guidance system. It is more
dangerous than a gun because
it can cause multiple deaths at
one wrong action by the driver.
Speed is the cause of most
accidents. It is a disease that
grasps the fascination of the hu
man being harder than gambling
and drinking. It is deadly ad
venture into a daring unknown.
Many victims of “speed fasc
ination” never live to know what
that unknown would have held for
them. To them it is eternity
after the crash.
Our only solution Is for every
drive to drive carefully and de
fensively above and beyond the
call of duty. This will certainly
help lower traffic fatalities al
though it will never elemlnate
the m. It might however save your
life and the life of your loved ones.
