ATLANTA-—A major drive
to recruit skilled men and
women to help win “the
other war in Vietnam-—the
war against hunger, pov
erty, disease and illiteracy”
opened in Atlanta on Feb
ruary 13, 1967, the Agency
for International Develop
ment announced today.
AID, an agency of the U.S.
Department of State which
handles all U.S. foreign aid
programs, is currently seek
ing a wide variety of
qualified civilian specialists
to fill critically short posi
tions in Vietnam. Herbert F.
Hodge, Public Affairs Chief,
Far East Bureau, declared
that AlD’s immediate goal
is to recruit 1000 skilled spe
cialists to fill existing va
cancies and to staff an ex
panded program of economic
and social aid to the war
ravaged population of Viet
nam.
“The effort to bring a bet
ter and more meaningful life
to the unfortunate people of
Vietnam must go on long
after hostilities have
ceased,” Hodge said. ‘“How
ever, our immediate goal is
to help the Vietnamese resist
communist aggression and
to build a foundation for
lasting peace. This means
working side by side with
the Vietnamese people, help
ing them to become better
farmers and fishermen,
helping them through bet
ter education for their chil
dren, better medicines, and
helping them with a variety
of modern technical skills.”
Hodge disclosed that AID
will conduct a week-long re
cruitment drive in the
greater Atlanta area. A tem
porary recruitement head
quarters is being set up at
680 W. Peachtree Street in
Atlanta. Beginning Monday,
February 13, applicants may

Monday through Friday, and
from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. or. Sat
urday, February 18, the final

Girl Scouting in the
Northwest Georgia Girl
Scout Council for 1966
through 1969 will stress
“Values to Hold—Worlds to
Explore”, the triennium
theme which was presented
to delegates at the annual
council meeting Jan. 31 in
Atlanta.
Among council business
conducted by the represen
tatives from each of the 72
neighborhoods in the 23-
county area was a report on
the National Council meet
ing in Detroit, Mich.; the in
troduction of Mrs, Gerald
Vrzal of Atlanta as the
“Piper” who will lead a
membership drive for Girl
Scouting, the awarding of
membership and service
awards to outstanding vol
unteers, and election of di
rectors.
Mrs. Alene Brown and
Mrs. Pat Scheff of Forest
Park and Mrs. Ann Holland
and Mrs. Shirley Daniel of
Jonesboro were given mem
bership numerals for 10
years in Scouting. Also rec
ognized for outstanding
service was Mrs, Ernest A.
Dunbar of Forest Park,
Program plans for the
council’s new 4,000-acre un
developed campsite in Cher
okee County were also an
nounced. The site is the
largest owned by a Girl
Scout Council in the United
States and is the culmination
of years of saving from the
annual cookie sale.
THE AMERICAN
MARRIAGE MART
As it has in European
countries, so it has hap
pened in the United States.
The ratio of marriageable
males to marriageable fe
males has dropped—from
104 to 94, and it will prob
ably slip to 93 by 1970.
According to the Bureau
of the Census, the current
“marriage squeeze” is a
result of the fact that
girls born during the
post-war baby boon have
reached marriageable age
more quickly than the boys.
From now on, fewer young
women can look forward to
marriage, if only because
young men refuse to marry
until they feel they can sup
port a family.
Teen-age marriages are
on the way out, the bureau
says, but marriages in the

I CAN WELL understand the desire of the United States
to expand world trade and increase our exports abroad. For
one thing. it is vital to bringing some semblence of order to
our balance of payments deficit situation.
The expansion rate of imports to the U. S. from overszas
greatly exceeds the rate of our export growth. In 1965. exports
increaszd to $26.6 billion for a gain of some 4 per cent over
1964. On the other hand. imports climbed 142 for a total of
some $21.4 billion.
As a result, our export surplus in 1965 dropped $l.B bil
lion from the preceding year to $5.2. And. our trade surplus
is further offset by vast American spending overseas in foreign
aid and military assistance. Thus, because the United States
has cendcavored to play Santa Claus, banker and policeman
for the entire free world. our balance of payments deficit is
running about $2 billion a year.
* # %
AS A MEMBER of the United States trade negotiating
team. | favor every reasonable effort to keep trade channels
open and to widen them if possible with regard to U. S. exports.
However, it is my view that current proposals for easing
U. S. restrictions against trading with the Soviet Union and
Communist bloc nations of Eastern Europe should be con
sidered with extreme caution.
While it would be virtually impossible or ineffective to at
tempt to conduct a one-nation embargo against Communist
countries, the United States certainly should guard against ex
tending aid or materials that are of a strategic value.
By no means should we forget the avowed purpose of
Communism to destroy the American way of life and freedom
in the world. The so-called “wars of liberation” are ample evi
dence of what we are up against. We cannot afford to let down
our guard, either militarily or economically.
* * *
AT A TIME WHEN we are engaged in a war against Com
munism in Viet Nam, which is taking a great toll in American
lives and costing the taxpayers more than $2 billion a month,
I certainly would favor no trade agreements which would re
sult in shipping any strategic materials to Communist nations.
This should be of paramcunt importance in considering
proposals for widening East-West trade.

Under the direction of

Suder Project is a prime can

When I Survey The Wondrous Cross
“The Greatest Hymn in the English Language”
To attempt to single out any one hymn
as “the greatest ever written” would create
much controversy. Research on hymnody
reveals many marked differences in opin
ions even of the most qualified critics. But,
in the final analysis, public acceptance
over a long period of time seems to be the
safest yardstick. This being the case, then
there are many grand hymns that could
be called “greatest” but to select any one
of the group would be simply a matter of
personal preference.
Some years ago in England 3,500 citi
zens were asked to list, in order, their one
hundred favorite hymns. August Toplady’s
“Rock of Ages” led 3,215 of the lists. Yet,
Alfred Lord Tennyson, who certainly knew
poetry and hymns, regarded Reginald He
ber’s “Holy, Holy, Holy” as the finest of
them all.
Because few of the great poets have
written hymns, some critics are reluctant
to regard hymn writers as poets. Yet, after

And pour contempt on all my pride.

listing hymns by Bryant, Whittier, Holmes
and Longfellow, one critic opined that
Joseph Gilmore’s “My Faith Looks Up To
Thee” was superior to them all . . . and
Gilmore did not claim to be a poet!
Critic Samuel Johnson rather charit
ably, and reluctantly, mentioned hymn
writer Isaac Watts in his “Lives of the
Poets” and apologized by saying that the
little bachelor had simply done “better
what no man has done well.” But another
noted critic, Matthew Arnold, so admired
the poetry of Watts that he sang and
quoted “When I Survey The Wondrous
Cross” until ten minutes before he died.
And so go the opinions. In their various
ways there were many ‘“greatest” presi
dents and, because they have stood the test
of time, there are many “greatest” hymns.
The one Matthew Arnold called “the
greatest in the English Language” was
written in 1707 and is still sung around
the world.
See, from His head, His Hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down;
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
-
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
