Shoplifting Thieves Raise Prices
Anyone who reads a recent picture story in Life
magazine about shoplifting must come to the in
evitable conclusion that this is one of the most
brazen varieties of petty criminality in which a
person can indulge. Moreover, shoplifting has be
come big business. Some of the facts about
shoplifting, the people who do it and techniques used,
which Life explores by word and picture, are start
ling.
It is estimated that 1 out of 60 persons enter the
average store for the purpose of stealing not pur
chasing goods. Shoplifters are usually housewives
and teen-agers. In 1966, they walked off with over
$2 billion worth of merchandise--double the amount
of 7 years ago, and during the 1967 Christmas
season, it was estimated that thefts would amount
to some S6OO million. In a distribution system
that operates on the high volume, low profit margin
principle, the loss from shoplifting is serious and
Theodore C. (Ted) Sorensen was formerly special
counsel to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson. He’s
a New York lawyer now, but is also active in that
cabal which seeks to promote a return to the White
House of one of the Kennedy clan.
Mr. Sorensen is much sought-after to do special
articles for various publications. The views he
expresses are important because they reflect the
counsel which he used to give to Presidents, and
which he hopes to give to another President one
day.
An article he has just written appears in some
thing called the Public Relations Journal, January,
1968 issue. Therein, Mr. Sorensen urges top
corporation executives todevote more time interest
and effort to the public affairs area, that is, on
“problems outside the corporate arena.’’
Such involvement, Mr. Sorensen argues, would
lead corporations to “recognize that they can sur
vive and they can succeed only in an atmosphere of
progress, prosperity and liberty....”
What would be a mark of such recognition?
Well, Mr. Sorensen urges executives to prepare
themselves to justify giving away corporate funds
That fellow Sihanouk is quite a guy. We’re refer
ring to the Grand Exalted Ruler of all the Cam
bodians, who runs the country where the Viet Cong
rest up between forays against the American foreign
devils.
Somedays tliey’re likely to make a movie of Si
hanouk, possibly starring Yul Brynner, wearing the
same baggy pants he wore in “Anna and the King
of Siam.” The movie could be called “Jackie and
the Prince of Cambodia,” and it ought topack them
in at the nation’s passion pits.
Sihanouk has away of expressing himself that, as
King Yul used to say, “is a puzzlement.” Some
times he sounds like Fidel Castro and at other
times he wheedles like a Skid Row panhandler.
But in talking about Jacqueline Kennedy and Ches
ter Bowles he made himself abundantly clear,
and in doing so he suggested the plot for the movie
we mentioned. It would run something like this;
A beautiful and seductive American secret agent
arrives in Cambodia where she turns up at the pa
lace. There she charms the handsome Prince of
the Realm. The foreign agent, of course, is Jackie
Kennedy. She pretends that she is just there to take
some snapshots of Angkor Wat, a local tourist
attraction, but the clever Prince is aware that she is
an emissary of Dreadful Lyndon, the American
Smart Indians; Ever since the white man came
to America the Indians have had to put up with a
lot of pushing around. But now the Great White
Father in Washington has gone too far—at least
for the Navajos. Smoke signals from Navajo
country tell of resentment against wliites who are
trying to pass off this administration’s “funny
money” on the reservation.
Skilled craftsmen in silver, the Navajos want no
part of the ersatz stuff pouring from our mints,
even when it is adorned with the likenesses of
John F. Kennedy and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Ty
pical comment concerning the funny money is
“Ugh!” That reflects our feelings precisely.
On Crooks and Kooks; At long last, aware
that this nation has a terrifying crime problem,
Washington has come up with a typical Great
Society remedy: money. In great gobs. Throw
it at the problem.
We are told that billions are going to be needed
to make our streets safe for the non-criminal
citizenry. One figure being bandied about is S2O
billion. Tliis makes a nice round figure for cal
culating purposes. We doubt that there are
2,000,000 criminals in the country, but you pro
bably could tot up that figure if you throw in all
those who take part in demonstrations, preach
treason, smoke pot and indulge in assorted other
anti-social activities. Maybe if tire S2O billion
were divided among these people they’d lay off.
After all, a SIO,OOO bribe isn’t to be sneezed
at and our politicians could be counted on to keep

can be disasterous. A retailer often must ring up
S3O in sales to break even after a $1 theft. One
chain store concern was forced to file for bank
ruptcy a short time ago when pilferage reached
a reported 10 per cent of sales.
Equally as reprehensible as shoplifting is pil
ferage by store employees. The intricate and de
vious processes by which employees of stores
mulct their employers are masterpieces of dis
honest avarice. Retailers are fighting back against
shoplifting and pilferage in the only ways they can.
Beyond resorting to every known protective mea
sure, their only recourse is to increase prices.
Thus, consumers must pay for the pranks of
thieves who, in the vast majority of instances
get off scott free even when they are caught red
handed. Yes, shoplifting has become big business
in our “permissive” society, and every honest
consumer helps to bear the costs.
“for some public cause or effort in the public
good that does not show even indirect economic ben
efit to the corporation.” He admits that the laws
do not permit corporations to give away funds with
such justification today, although, he says, “a New
Jersey court came very close to doing exactly
that.” But he anticipates no essential difficulty
with modifying the laws because, where statutes
are restrictive, “the courts of this country have
been increasingly liberal in finding or, if neces
sary, inventing indirect corporate benefits in order
to support worthwhile corporate efforts.”
Lawyers, in other words, may ignore statutes.
Executives may circumvent them. Courts will in
vent new interpretations of statutes to encourage
them.
Such a view is in diametric disagreement with the
American proposition that ours is a government of
law, designed to protect the liber ties—and property
—of our people. Corporate funds belong to stock
holders, not judges.
How fortunate that Ted Sorensen is no longer

tyrant. Knowing this, he scorns her, albeit with
inscrutable oriental politeness. She leaves Cam
bodia, covered with chagrin, her devious mission
unaccomplished.
But the wicked American President has another
ace up his sleeve. He calls on a mysterious wise
man of the East, Chet Bowles, to proceed to Cam
bodia to work his wiles on the charming Prince.
But the spells and incantations of this genie get him
nowhere. Prince Sihanouk, the all-wise, withstands
every onslaught of Johnson’s second emissary, and
then he tells the world what he thinks of both Jackie
and Chet. And these are verbatim quotes from real
life:
“Chester Bowles, no matter how he smiles, does
not have and never will have the seductive effect
of Mrs. Kennedy.”
Then, showing that the brave prince had a mighty
battle with himself in resisting temptation, he of
fered this charming soliloquy in quaint Sihanou
kese;
“Jackie is very seductive, being a woman, and the
Cambodians are always sensitive to the beauty of

That’s one solution. Another would be to re

COVINGTON, LA., ST. TAMMANY FARMER:
“There are many ways to devalue money. In
Great Britain, they did it deliberately and openly.
Here in the United States, we are doing it subtly
and insidiously, but every bit as damaging. . .In
effect, devaluation -- or inflation -- means simply
that your dollar buys less. It means that your
savings account lying in the bank may grow with in
terest, but it actually diminishes in value. It
means that a $3,600 car last year cost $4,000
this year. . .Is the fate of America like that of
‘Great Britain’? Will federal waste and deficit
spending finally and completely ruin the already
devaluated dollar? It’s your decision, in many
ways. It’s your dollar, in every way.”

The Gospel of John, which is
the portion of the New Testa
ment demanding our attention
during this series of lessons,
presents John’s estimate of our
Lord.
The Evangelist adds to our
understanding of Christ’s mis
sion to men. Included in this
Gospel, that gives us a unique
picture of the Master, are a
number of his statements that
show us how Jesus regarded him
self. They include the portraits
that are usually referred to as
the “I am” statements which he
made as he sought to teach men
about his person.
Last week we saw him as ‘‘the
true bread from heaven.” As
such he is the answer to life’s
hunger. He is the satisfaction
offered by God for the soul’s
quest for apiritual nourishment.
Today’s lesson is the outgrowth
of the Scripture which depicts
Jesus as “the light of the world.”
The Master made bold to de
clare, “I am the light of the
world; he that followeth me shall
not walk in darkness, but shall
have the light of life” (8:12).
Jesus’ record of himself shows
him to be the divine answer to
the world’s darkness, for it is
he who is the “light of life.”
He it is who dispels the gloomy
shadows in men’s souls.
Today we witness again the mi
raculous work of Jesus. In heal
ing the man born blind he gave
him physical sight, but he rec
ognized himself as more than a
miracle worker. His chief oc
cupation was to bring spiritual
light into the world.
The miracle and the resulting
teaching that he is the “light
of life” both witness to Jesus’
THE LEGISLETTE^
By Glenn McCullough
(Executive Manager GPA)
Last week may go down in the
annals of Georgia History, 1968,
as “the week that was.” That is,
of course, unless this week’s ac
tivities replace it as one of those
weeks, which has only some of
the ingredients in prospect.
Last week saw Governor Les
ter Maddox’s warmest press con
ference to date, the resignation of
Dr. Bill Dyer as a member of
the Pardons and Paroles Board,
the withdrawal of a bill request
ing that Mrs. Rebecca Garrett
of the same board resign, some
progress by the House Appro
priations Committee on the Go
vernor’s budget, a move to block
Atlanta’s annexation designs, the
Labor Commissioner swap ch
arges with a solon and a couple
of measures to save the alliga
tors in the Okefenokee.
This week the Senate Judiciary
Committee, headed by Senator
Robert Smalley of Griffin, was
expected to favorably report out
the proposed Georgia Business
Corporation Act and a companion
bill dealing with non-profit cor
porations, probably as a unified
substitute bill.
Proponents of the bill claim it
will enhance business activity in
Georgia and create a more fa
vorable business climate. It st
reamlines corporate charter
procedure which is now gover
ned by a hodge-podge of laws
and regulations.
The House Appropriations
Committee was expected to com
plete its work on the budget in
time to give the General As
sembly a week’s recess next
week while the Senate Commit
tee studied it. The Committee
came up with some $9 million
“cushion” last week, which cou
pled with the governor’s $lO
million previous cut, left only
about $lO million additional to
be whittled away, to meet de
mands by certain solons that the
whole budget be cut by S3O mil
lion.
Governor Maddox held an an
gry press conference Thursday
in which he blasted the Atlanta
newspapers and things in general
because his appointee to the Par
dons and Paroles Board had met
with stiff opposition in the Senate,
which resulted in Dr. Bill Dyer’s
“temporary” resignation from
the board while an investigat
ion into his business affairs was
conducted. Thursday, however,
Dr. Dyer, a Moultrie chiroprac
tor, consultant to a computer firm
and novelty distributor, madehis
resignation “permanent,”saying
he would accept no state job wh
ich required him to live in At
lanta. He feels that Atlanta is
not big enough for him and The
Atlanta Newspapers, he said.
The Governor picked up the
fight and said "phooey” on the
newspapers. He used that word
several other times, along with
“darn” twice, which makes that

divine Sonship.
Moral poverty and spiritual
blindness are both overcome by
the light and vision that Christ
brings.
The context of today’s lesson
(chap. 8) is important to our
understanding of the miracle of
the healing of the man who was
blind from his birth. The ex
alted statement of our Lord that
he is “the light of the world”
(8:12) is the outgrowth of con
frontation with the woman taken
in adultery.
Jesus had gone to the Mount
of Olives. Early in the morn
ing he went again into the temp
le, and the people, hearing of
his presence there, came to him.
In the professorial fashion of
his day he sat down and taught
them.
The scribes and Pharisees who
took every occasion they could
find to trap Jesus brought to
him a woman who had been guilty
of adultery, taken “in the very
act,” they said. Being more
concerned with the letter of the
law than with the spirit of that
law, they reminded Jesus, as if
he needed reminding of what
the law said, that Moses had
commanded that those taken in
adultery should be stoned. They
had one purpose in mind. They
were “tempting him, that they
might have to accuse him.”
This graphic scene—the wo
man, the scribes and Pharisees,
and Jesus—is indelibly inscribed
in our minds. The results cer
tainly were far from what the
woman’s accusers expected, or
what she probably anticipated.
Jesus, the Master Teacher,
showed his inimitable power over
men. The conclusion shows us
that we must not judge our fel
lows since we are all sinners,
and that those who sin must
seek the forgiveness of Jesus
Christ and resolve to leave off
sinning.
We do not know what Jesus
wrote in the dust of the ground,
but surely when he spoke his
words pricked men’s hearts, “He
that is without sin among you,
let him first cast a stone at
her.”
press conference rank as his
most firey.
The governor vowed to investi
gate every appointment by gover
nors for the last decade and he
didn’t care “who might be hurt
by it.”
A bill in the Senate was re
committed to committee which
sought to have Mrs. Garrett re
sign. It was rumored that she
had privately agreed to resign
anyway within a six months pe
riod.
A big turnout of AFL - CIO
people crowded the hall outside
hearing room 451 where a hear
ing was conducted on HB 926,
a pet of Labor Commissioner
Sam Caldwell. The bill would
eliminate the one-week waiting
period before an unemployed
worker may draw unemployment
insurance. The substitute bill
combined a cut in insurance tax
which opponents to the measure
labeled a “lure.”
Caldwell charged that Sen. Al
Holloway of Albany is “control
led by special interest groups”
and that he was attempting to
“bury” the bill. The senator
reckoned that the commissioner
“ought to mind his own bu
siness.”
Two House bills dealt with the
alligator. One would make alli
gator farming in Georgia legal,
thereby taking the pressure off
the ’gators in danger of poachers
and the other would increase
Game and Fish Commission con
trol over ’gator hunting.
Rep. Guy Hill of Atlanta in
troduced a bill which would re
quire consent of the people li
ving in areas to be annexed be
fore cities could annex the area.
His reasoning is that as local
legislation it would never get the
consent of the Fulton delegation,
which he contends is controlled
by Atlanta, but as a general bill
it might pass and was for the
benefit of people throughout the
state. It was assigned to the
House Special Judiciary Com

Dear Editor:
A regular reader of these li

which may prove useful to you
some time:
“The federal government must
and shall quit this business of re
lief. Continued dependence upon
relief induces a spiritual and mo
ral disintegration, fundamentally
destructive to the national fiber.
To dole out relief in this way is
to administer a narcotic, a sub
tle destroyer of the human
spirit.”
The speaker? Franklin D. Roo
sevelt in his message to Congress
in 1935.
In 1937 the maximum tax paid
into Social Security by the em
playee was S3O. The employer
paid a like amount.
In 1968 the maximum tax will
be $343.20. The employer will
pay a like amount.

PARENT-TEACHER
REPORT
By Mrs. Robert I. Burall
Tenth District Director
Georgia Congress of Parents
and Teachers
Founders Day, Feb. 17, com
memorates the day when the PT A
idea took on force and vitality
of a nationwide movement. For
it was on that day in 1897 that
some 2,000 persons came to
Washington, D. C. to discuss “qu
estions most vital to the welfare
of children and the manifold in
terests of the home.”
They came in response to the
call of Alice McLellan Birney
and Phoebe Apperson Hearst. The
results was the birth of a Nat
ional Organization dedicated to
safeguarding and promoting the
welfare of children in home, sc
hool, church, and community.
Many of you are aware of
the two above mentioned ladies
and their great concern and work
for children and youth, but did
you know Mrs. Birney was a nat
ive of our own beloved state. She
was born and reared in Marietta,
Georgia. She received her early
education in a private school, as
public schools were far from
numerous. Later she attended
the Atlanta High School and Mount
Holyoke College. It was during
her second marriage, while li
ving in Washington, D. C. that this
great interest in children, began
to formulate. In 1897, she met
Phoebe Apperson Hearst, who
helped her transform the plan into
a lasting reality. Together they
founded the National Congress of
Mothers - later to be called the
National Congress of Parents
and Teachers. It was a success
from the very beginning.
So you see, my friends, the
observance of PTA Founders Day
is more than a custom. It is a
solemn rededication of millions
of hearts and hands to the great
caring demonstrated by our
Founders. It is this caring for
every child, that keeps the PTA
growing in strength and influe
nce.
An interested citizenry is a
democratic government’s only
guarantee of proper functioning
to meet the needs of the majority
of the people both locally and na
tionally. People should get out
and vote, not only as a privilege,
but as a responsibility to the
society of which they are a part.
Proper government must be
insured one step further with in
dividual involvement by the peo
ple. Citizens must take it upon
themselves to urge qualified,
community minded persons to get
involved individually by offering
themselves as candidates for lo
cal posts when election time
rolls around.
The people of Newton County
have seen fit to change the form
of county government to an elec
ted board of commissioners, and
the governing of our county sc
hool system by the election of
the members of the school board.
This decision was voted on
and passed by the people in a re
ferendum in 1966, and was sub
sequently made a law by the 1967
General Assembly when legislat
ion was introduced to change our
present elected county commis
sioner and county school super
intendent.
A change in a form of go
vernment is useless unless that
change can provide government
of local policies that can better
meet the needs of our growing
population and the problems that
our county faces.

LOVE IS

“Teacher, which is the great

Jesus answered him, “You shall

your heart, and with all your soul,
and with all your mind .... And
a second is like it, you shall
love your neighbor as your

It seems to me that mankind
has long since come to recog

in the life of a human being is
the fact of love. It would seem
appropriate that the great law
given by God to his children would
relate to this greatest human

TAX LAW
CHANGES
LaGrange—Two major chang
es have been made in the handling
of medical expenses in filing 1967
Federal income tax returns, says
Guy L. Atkinson, local Represen
tative of Internal Revenue.
First, the medical expenses of
those 65 and over are now sub
ject to the same limitations that
apply to taxpayers under 65. All
taxpayers must now reduce med
ical expenses by 3 percent of
their gross income. Such med
ical expenses include the cost
of drugs and medicine which ex
ceeds 1 percent of income. The
excess over this amount is de
ductible.
Second, one half the premium
paid for medical insurance may
now be deducted up to a maximum
of $l5O as a medical expense
without regard to the 3 percent
limitation. The balance of the
premium cost for medical insur
ance should be added to other
medical costs subject to the limi
tation. Life insurance and acci
and health insurance covering the
loss of earnings are not medical
expenses and the premiums paid
are not deductible.

Iron in water shall float easy as
a wooden boat.
Gold shall be found amid stone
In a land that’s now not known.
Fire and water shall wonders do,
England shall at last admit the
Jew.
The Jew that once was held in
scorn,
Shall of a Christian be borne and
born.
Three times three shall lovely
France
Be led to dance a bloody dance,
Before her people shall be free,
Three tyrant rulers shall she see.
Three times the people rule al
one,
Three times the people’s hope be
gone.
Three times in succssion see
Each sprung from different din
asty.
Then shall the greater fight be
done,
And England and France shall be
as one.
All England’s sons that plough
the land,
Shall be seen book in hand
Learning shall so ebb and flow
The poor shall more wisdom
know.
The world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty
one.
.She missed on the last state
ment but most of her other pro
phecies can be spotted down th
