An Officer Os The Law
A law enforcement officer’s badge is a symbol of
public faith. His complex and heavy responsibilities
represent a public trust. Whenever an officer
breaks the faith or violates this trust, the collec
tive image of law enforcement suffers, stated FBI
Director J. Edgar Hoover recently.
In recent years, law enforcement has made great
progress. Equipment and facilities have improved.
Significant and far - reaching scientific advances
have been made. However, all these achievements
are meaningless unless every officer is morally
committed to the ethics of professional police ser
vice.
Under prevailing conditions, this commitment
requires perseverance of the highest order. Daily,
in many areas, the law enforcement officer is the
principal target of abuse from mobs and dis
sident groups. He is subjected to personal in
sults and physical attacks, and increasingly, he
is falsely accused of brutality by persons who seek
alibis and excuses for their criminal acts. Even
so, his conduct must be above reproach. He must
exercise self-restraint and remain calm and cou
rageous, never deviating from his code of ethics.
30th Anniversary March Os Dimes
In 1968 the National Foundatin - March ofDimes
looks back on 30 years of accomplishment in the
health field while forging ahead to new endeavors.
Founded in 1938 to fight polio by President Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, himself a victim, the voluntary
health organization succeeded beyond all expectat
ions when in 1955 it presented the world with polio
vaccine.
The March of Dimes record of achievement has
been unequaled by any other health organization.
Its pioneering work in basic and clinical research
has affected the entire course of medicine.
Especially in virology, the Foundation sponsored
studies which actually laid the groundwork for many
developments of what is now known as "the bio
logical revolution.”
Business Can Meet The Challenge
In November the population counter at the Com
merce Department in Washington rolled over to an
even count of 200 million. That’s a lot of people for
a nation whose settlement began in 1607. But of
equal significance, while the United States was
joining the 200 Million Club—China, Russia and In
dia are the only other members—computers at the
Census Bureau revealed that by the year 2004
this country will reach a population of 400 million.
Although it took 360 years to reach our present
size, our population will double again in just 37
years!
This enormous growth presents the nation, and
business in particular, with some challenges that
will make the change from buggy whip to automat
ic shift seem like child’s play. Time and techno
logy no longer will permit gradual or leisurely
transition from present-day thinking and methods
to the type of management techniques necessary to
meet the demands of this burgeoning population
and increasingly complex society. Imaginative cor
porate planning by today’s business leaders holds
the answer to the question whether we adequately
take care of those 400 million Americans and other
billions elsewhere in the world.
If enough far-sighted businessmen are prepared
to handle the problems this expanding world poses,
the future will be filled with opportunity. As one
corporate leader—Harolds. Geneen, chairman and
president of International Telephone and Telegraph
Corporation—pointed out recently, by the year 2000
the total disposable income in the United States
will zoom from less than SSOO billion per year
When so much of the news is on the depressing
side, it is a welcome relief to be reminded of
stirring episodes in the history of our country that
required a high measure of individual resource
fulness and courage. Not surprisingly in a country
stretching across nearly 3,000 miles of the globe’s
surface from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans,
many of these episodes occurred in the field of
transportation. Back in 1860, men and horses
wrote a chapter in the history of transportation
that will likely never be equaled.

There is no substitute for high principles.
Where the ideals of justice are concerned, there
can be no laxity. The ethics of an enforcement
agency are no better than the ethics of its weak
est officer. Honesty and integrity must ride in
every cruiser, walk every beat, influence every
command, and answer every rollcall. Good ethics
must be in evidence whenever and wherever duty
calls, every minute of every day.
Compromise, personal feelings, animosities, and
prejudices have no place in professional police
service. Free handouts, cutrate prices, gratuities,
and preferential treatment are luxuries an officer
cannot accept if he is to keep his professional
dignity. These seemingly insignificant matters
destroy an officer’s objectivity and affect his
official actions. All officers must strive to erase
the ugly public image of the policeman without
character. Absolute integrity is the only answer.
As we enter the New Year, let us make certain
that the ethics which our work reflects, the ethics
which we pledge to uphold, and the ethics in
which we believe are one and the same—ethics
of good police service.
In 1958 the March ofDimes expanded its program
beyond polio to attack birth defects.
The great majority of birth defects can be treated
and completely corrected, if they are detected early
and given the best care known to modern medicine.
Medical care of this high caliber is available
at nearly 100 March of Dimes-supported Birth
Defects Centers at leading medical institutions
throughout the nation. Included among these are two
centers in Georgia at the Medical College of Georgia
in Augusta and at Emory University School of Me
dicine in Atlanta.
Through research, medical care and education
it is hoped that birth defects can be substantially
reduced, thus raising the health standards of future
generations.
today to something in the neighborhood of $3
trillion, incredible as this sounds, it is realistic
—and the fact suggests the scope of the economic
age which man will face.
In a speech before the Investment Analysts So
ciety of Chicago, Mr. Geneen described both the
challenge and the opportunity. It is clear, he said,
that new kinds of corporations and managements
will be needed in the years ahead to cope with the
doubled population, a higher proportion of younger
people, broadening educational standards, growth
of urbanization and the desire for more leisure time.
All of these patterns will make themselves widely
felt in whole new patterns of markets.
To meet the challenge of this exploding eco
nomy, Mr. Geneen sees the need for a “unified
management, multi-product company” which is ca
pable of offering insurance against the “adverse
winds” of change. At the same time, corporate
entry into varied industries brings the resources
and purpose of more efficient competition and,
therefore, makes better use of the national re
sources of labor and materials.
This “unified-management, multi-product” th
eory is no visionary concept. It is, in fact the
philosophy under which Mr. Geneen has guided ITT
to an eminent position in industry.
ITT may be unique but the philosophy under which
it operates may hold the key to assuring the nation
that business will be prepared to meet the demands
of the people when the census counter turns over to
400 million in the year 2004.
St. Joesph, Missouri to San Francisco. They were
supported by a chain of 190 relay stations, 400
stock tenders and 500 horses. Speed was the es
sence of tiie undertaking. Each man rode 75 miles,
changing horses every 10 to 20 miles. The 2.000
miles was covered in 7 to 10 days. One or the
most amazing rides ever recorded in the West
was made by “Pony Bob” Haslam, who galloped
380 miles without relief.
The spirit of the Pony Express was caught by
Mark Twain, who observed the passage of one of
these legendary riders from a stagecoach; “So
sudden is it all. and so like a flash of unreal
fancy, that but for the flake of white foam left
quivering and perishing on a mail-sack after the
vision had flashed by and disappeared, we might
have doubted whether we had seen any actual
horse and man at all, maybe.”
In peace or war, depression or prosperity, we
have much of which to be proud in these United
States. We should never forget it.

THE MEANING OF
THE NEW BIRTH
Devotional Reading: John 3:
16-21.
Memory Selection: For God so
loved the world that he gave his
only Son, that whoever believes
in him should not perish but have
eternal life. John 3:16.

Christian faith makes a dif
ference. The promise of Christ
was not that he would improve
people but that he would make
them different. He would turn
them from one type of person
into another type of person.
And the experience of believe
rs through the centuries is that
he makes good his claim.
The third chapter of John, from
which we take our lesson today,
is one of the best known and
most highly revered in the whole
of Scripture. Verse 16, which
is the memory selection for the
day, expresses the basic faith of
Christian believers, namely,that
Christ and Christ alone is the
means by which the hearts of
men are turned from indifference
or sinful living to the bright
ness and joy of eternal life with
God.
In last week’s lesson we ob
served Christ making a differ
ence in a situation. He turned
water into wine. He saved at
least one family, and probably
two, from lifelong derision in
the sight and conversation of
their neighbors.
This was indeed a mighty mir
acle, showing our Lord’s power
over the physical world. But the
transformation which we observe
in today’s lesson, namely, the tr
ansformation of the soul and the
emergence of something new in
the spiritual life of the believer,
is even greater.
Nicodemus was a Pharisee and
a member of the Sanhedrin, rul
ing body in the Jewish church.
Most of his colleagues were bit
terly hostile to this young teac
her from Nazareth who without
asking leave of the church au
thorities had presumed to teach
the people and to do so with
authority. Furthermore, they all
smarted under the scornful cri
ticism to which Jesus often sub
mitted them, calling them hypo
crites and declaring that they
cleansed the outside of the cup
SENATOR PENNINGTON
At The Capitol
The second Session of the 129th
Legislature (1967-68) officially
opened in Atlanta this week when
the House and Senate convened
at 10:00 a. m„ on Monday, Jan
uary Bth.
While the Senate and the House,
for the most part, were concern
ed with clearing away the admini
strative procedures necessary to
the opening of any legislative se
ssion, the Senate Agriculture Co
mmittee was the center of much
activity, with Chairman Brooks
Pennington of Madison calling
three meetings the first three
days to study and evaluate the
needs for agricultural legisla
tion.
This Committee already has
behind them consideration of the
bills affecting agriculture which
were carried over from the pre
vious session.
One of these bills, which would
allow the confiscation of vehicles
used by night hunters with or
without the permission of the
owner, was tabled by the Com
mittee because adequate provi
sions were not Included for In
stances where one person might
take another’s vehicle and use
it in night hunting without the
permission of the owner, with
the resulting loss of the vehicle
by the innocent owner. A se
cond bill, relative to the mar
keting of pecans, was set aside
by the Committee for further
study.
The Committee decided to hold
a public hearing on a bill which
would establish a new commis
sion for the co-ordination of wa
ter use in the State since some
members felt the establishment
of another commission within the
State was unnecessary. Another
bill which would have abolished
the authority of the Milk Control
Commission to establish the re
tail price of milk was tabled in
view of the fact the Georgia
Supreme Court in a ruling had
duplicated the intent of the bill.
The Agriculture Committee
presently has under considerat
ion an Important bill which would
exempt farm machinery from sa
les tax when the purchase of such
equipment would increase the
production and employment on a
farm unit, and would thereby give
agriculture the same considerat
ion given other industries.
Senator Pennington announced
plans for a public hearing or. the
problem of Fire Ant Infestation to
be held on Saturday, January
20th, at 10:00 a. m., at Abraham
Baldwin Agricultural College In
Tifton. “The Fire Ant infestat

time and poses severe threats to
our agriculture industry,” penn-

or the platter but left the inside
full of extortion and excess (Matt.
23:25). Jesus warned his hearers
that unless their righteousness
exceeded the righteousness of the
scribes and pharisees they would
in no wise enter into the king
dom of heaven (Matt. 5:25).
Nicodemus, as he beheld the
works and listened to the teac
hings of this carpenter from Na
zareth, evidently came to feel
that the claims that Jesus made
for himself were genuine. Accor
dingly, he sought out Jesus, com
ing to him by night and sub
sequently having with him one
of the most famous conversations
recorded In the entire Bible.
Why did Nicodemus come by
night? Some have said that it was
because Jesus was so pressed by
the multitude during the day that
a quiet conversation with him
would be impossible. More of
ten, however, the accusation has
been made that Nicodemus was
definitely afraid to be seen con
sorting with this unauthorized
teacher. The Sanhedrin was pr
actically unanimous in their op
position to Jesus. Only once
(and that was much later in the
ministry of Jesus) Nicodemus had
challenged his colleagues with the
query, “Doth our law judge any
man, before it hear him, and know
what he doeth?” But be it said
to the credit and the continued
glory of this man Nicodemus
it was he who, when the body of
Jesus was taken down from the
cross, brought a hundred pounds
of myrrh and aloes to prepare
the body of Jesus for burial, and
with Joseph of Arimathea, “be
ing a disciple of Jesus but se
cretly for fear of the Jews,”
secured permission from Pilate
to place the body in the newly
hewn sepulchre.
So Nicodemus was evidently
a man who experienced inner
conflict. He admired Jesus and
believed him to have been sent
by God, but he knew the hatred
of his fellow Pharisees for the
man and probably established
his contacts with Jesus on a
cautious and secretive basis.
Nicodemus was a man of great
heart. He surpassed his col
leagues in spiritual discernment.
His actions were characterized
by caution. He performed, how
ever, a kindly, great, and praise
worthy service to the Teacher
and Healer who was so astound
ing to his generation.
ington said. “The Senate and
House Agriculture Committees
urge every member of the Ge
neral Assembly and every citizen
faced with this problem to attend
this important meeting and help
us finalize plans for eradication
of this pest.”
Wednesday morning the Geor
gia Dairy Association sponsored
an Informal breakfast for the Ge
neral Assembly. Some of the
members of the legislature were
surprised to learn that the num
ber of dairy farmers in Georgia
had decreased from 3,600 in 1955
to 1,500 at the present time, and
that during this same period the
price of milk in Georgia had ri
sen an average of only 11%—and
was still lower than in the states
of Mississippi, Louisiana, West
Virginia and Florida—while the
price of soft drinks had risen
100%, cigarettes 40%, soap 31%
and bread 22%. When asked to
comment on this, Senator Penn
ington predicted that “within th
ree years there will be a short
ae of milk in Georgia and unless
something is done to aid the dairy
industry, within five years the
shortage, will be so acute that it
will be a matter of the housewife
who gets to the store first every
morning will be the one who gets
the milk for that day.”
Senator Pennington stated that
he will endeavor to perfect leg
islation to correct this situation.
“If it is impossible to perfect
legislation that the Courts will
accept as Constitutional, then I
will recommend to the milk pro
ducers of Georgia that they take
immediate steps to place them
selves under the protection of the
federal marketing order.”
Highlights of the first week of
this legislative Session were Go
vernor Maddox’s “State of the
State” address on Tuesday and
his Budget Message on Friday.
When asked to comment on the
“State of the State” address,
Senator Pennington said: “I feel
Governor Maddox celebrated the
anniversary of his inauguration
by delivering one of the finest
speeches of his administration.”

Dear Editor;
I have just received a copy of
the Bible Records of Samuel A.
King and his son A. L. King.
This was taken from Vol. 1 of
FAMILY BIBLE RECORDS by
the Daughters of The American
Revolution of Georgia, in 1938.
Excerpts:
“This Bible was the family
Bible Samuel A. King and his
wife Frances A. Mercer”. (Dau
ghter of Levi Mercer)
“The next owner was Augus
tus Lee King and his wife Sally
Thompson King.”
“The third owner is Miss Mar
garet King of Covington, Geor
gia—She has two brothers here
in Covington—Hon. C. C. King
and Mr. Ed King”.
“Jacob Mercer is the father
of Levi Mercer.”
“Mrs. Mary Ellen (King) Co
wan of Covington, Newton Coun
ty, Georgia, says her grandfat
her was John Kingandher grand
mother Ellen King. These then
are the parents of the Samuel A.
King whose Bible records are
herewith given, so says Old
Lady”.
Jacob Mercer was my great
great grandfather by virtue of
my grandfather D. R. P. King
having married Jacob’s grand
daughter, Elizabeth Parrot Ric
hards in 1834.
I believe D.R.P. King’s father
(unknown) was a member of this
King family.
Please help me by running a no
tice or news item in your paper.
I would like to hear from anyone
connected with this family and
will answer all letters.
Sincerely,
L. R. King

At the Monday night meeting
of the Covington City Council
at which the Mayor and five
members of the Council were
present (E. E. Callaway was out
with the flu), the controversial
subject of cleaning up the City
Square was discussed.
A plan to remove the pre
sent trees from the City Square
and landscape it differently was
proposed to be put in the form
of a petition and circulated am
ong the heads of businesses in
the downtown area.
The plan called for: (1) cut
ting down the trees; (2) planting
a single large Evergreen tree
in the center of each quadrant
of the square; (3) planting grass
on the remaining area of each
quadrant; (4) planting a tulip
bed around the base of the Con
federate statue; and (5) sand
blasting the Confederate statue
in order to clean it and make it
an attractive feature on the sq

When we were children we lea

Golden Rule. Matthew 7:12 is
where we find it and it says:
“Therefore all things whatso
ever ye would that men should

for this is the law and the pro
phets.” To help children un
derstand these words, we tell
them “to do unto others as you
would have others do unto you.”
Only a few of us would not re
collect these words. But many
of us do not follow them every
day in our living.

The Bible, the Word of God,
is the only communication that

The heart of the Bible is John

If all the books of the world

CITY SQUARE

presentative of this newspaper),
I put this plan in the form of a
petition and circulated it around
the square for signatures for,
against, and neutral. The re
sult showed 41 businessmen in
favor of the plan, six against,
and four neutral. The petition
was then turned over to Mayor
Walker Harris.
Personally, I favored and sign
ed the petition as Chairman of
the Covington Retail Merchants
Committee. Ido not favor the
trend of thought which would
call for turning the square into
a parking area.
A need for cleaning up the
square, eliminating the ever pre
sent starlings that keep it in a
mess, and beautifying the area
has been discussed for several
years by the Council and the
Merchants Association. Until
Monday night no plan had been
suggested by the Council to be
put in the form of a petition
to the people in the business
area.
My interest is for the good
of the merchants and people of
this community; my personal op
inion is my own; no other th
oughts will be expressed hers
concerning the square except that
the Mayor and Council are urged
to consider this matter carefully
before deciding the issue in the
best interest of Covington.
Just recently a paper has beeh
passed to the merchants on the
square for them to sign If they
want the trees in the City Square
cut down. What is a public park
for? Is it supposed to bring in
money to a few or is it for the
people to enjoy?
Should the merchants around
the square decide what should
happen to property that belongs
to thousands of people?
If doing away with beauty in
Covington is necessary the peo
ple should decide by a referen
dum—not a paper signed by a
few.

do you pray? When did you visit
somebody sick or in distress?
You can’t ask another person
to do these things if you are not
willing to do or try yourself.
There is a word we call “for

in a lot of places. Do we for

wrong? Do we forgive the child
who is bad when we know his
parents have not trained him to
do better? Do we forgive the
people we work for if they ex

how we feel. We ought to go out
and find our enemies and then
make friends of them.
Are we happy Christians? Do
we smile because we feel like •
it? What about other folks? Do :
we praise them or tell them we
are proud of them? We like
praise ourselves, but we don’t
always give it back to others.
We call this column “Words
to Live By”, In my way of
thinking, some good words for
1968 are Bible reading, church,
doing good, forgiveness, and pr

end of the road of 1968, our world
just might be a better place be
