“I hope I shall always pos
sess firmness and virtue
enough to maintain what I
consider the most enviable
of all titles, the character of
an ‘Honest Man’.”
—Washington
The days since Diogenes beat
the bushes in search of an
honest man have seen count
less worthies equal to that
description. Honesty isn’t quite
as scarce a virtue as we are
sometimes moved to fear. In
fact, when we consider that
we have created a society
working within a vacillating
framework of human values,
it is encouraging that our
hold on strict honesty is not
a bit more tenuous than it ac
tually is.

Most of today’s leather gloves
can be washed, says Miss Peggy
Ott, clothing specialist with the

She suggests using mild suds
and lukewarm water. “Put the
gloves on your hands to wash
them,” she advises, “and gently
rub any soiled areas with a wash
cloth.”

ONCE AGAIN, the Nashville
minister, Dr. Walter Courtenay,
has spoken out in forceful elo
quence for the return of com
mon sense and reason in the
United States.
Lamenting a land torn by ra
cial strife, Dr. ;
Courtenay in a
recent sermon
to his First
Presbyterian
Church con
gregation ex
pressed a long
ing — which I
believe to be
shared by an over-whelming ma
jority of people in this country
—for “stability and peace,” a
period in which to restore the
national sense of balance.
Dr. Courtenay will be remem
bered for an earlier sermon en
titled “The Problenjs of Equal
ity,” which won for him national
renown and a Freedoms Foun
dation award.
His latest message, like the
first one, is so important •to
controversies which now threat
en to divide our people that I
would like to share his wisdom
with you.
In this sermon, “The Problem
of Equilibrium,” Dr. Courtenay
warns against being caught up
in a “tailspin of confusion” and
enacting laws that would “create
a federal power free men could
not long endure.”
* * ♦
DENOUNCING lawless racial
agitation which has plagued
Nashville recently as well as
other American cities, both
North and South, Dr. Courtenay
declared.
“I stand to decry sit-ins, lie
downs, kneel-downs, and the
demonstrations that create fear,
block traffic, rob merchants of
essential business and make a
mockery of law and order. I de- (
cry those who incite such ac-
(A’ot prepared or printed at government expense)
i tions, even as I decry their op
, posites who meet unreasonable
• ness with unreasonableness. I
■ decry so - called non - violenfe
: marches that create feelings of
violence in others and fuse every
day with danger.
“I find little of the spirit of
Jesus in most of what has been
said and done . . . the methods
used are hate and fear builders,
and are in fact a shotgun held
at a community’s or business
man’s stomach.
“Let no one doubt but that our
colored friends and fellow citi
zens have reasonable grievances
that call for justice (but) one
injustice is no excuse for con
cocting others.”
* * *
DR. COURTENAY continued:
“So unbalanced are we in much
of our current thinking that we
now propose to pass laws forc
ing employers to hire people
they neither want nor need; to
force others to serve people they
do not want to serve; to force
others to work with people they
do not want to work with, and
to threaten honest citizens with
fines, jail sentences and the loss
of their livelihoods.
“We now propose to reshape
the life of the entire nation to
suit the needs of one minority
group at the cost of depriving
other groups of just rights un
der our Constitution.”
The people of this country
would do well to heed Dr.
Courtenay’s call for “a mora
torium on racial pressures.” He
said we .need a “long-range pro
gram of advance . . . that will
give people time to adjust and
gain understanding ... a pro
gram that will be Christian in
spirit and method . . . that will
not increase racial tensions, but
decrease them.”
GIVE ’EM ROOM —~
The secret to healthy pines on
the home lot, according to
George D. Walker, Cooperative
Extension Service forester, is to
be sure they keep plenty of live
crown or branches. When the
branches of adjoining trjes be
gin to overlap, he says, it’s time
to take out some of the poorer
trees to provide more crown
space for the better trees.
MENTAL ILLNESS
How many people are hos
pitalized with some degree of
mental illness? According to
Miss Lucile Higginbotham, head
of the Cooperative Extension
Service health department, the
total is greater than the number
hospitalized with heart and cir
culatory diseases, cancer, and
polio combined.
The Crop Reporting Service
estimated Georgia’s 1963 calf
crop at 633,000 head. This is
an increase of 20,000 head over
the 1962 figure.
