Still, The Noblest Nation
Surveying the world as
it really is, a diplomat
from a Moslem nation
was quoted on New
Year’s Day, 1980, as
saying:
“The fear, of course, is
that the Soviets will not
stop at Afghanistan ...
and in such an event, who
could the governments of
such nations turn to but
the United States?”
That, indeed, is the
question, not just for
Moslem nations, but for
all non-Communist
nations of the world. It
tells more about what is
in the minds and hearts of
the thoughtful leaders of
these nations than all the
shouting demonstrators
or unfounded tirades
from demagogues
ignorant of the past 50
years.
Since World War 11,
only the strength and
resolve of the United
States have prevented the
Communist movement
from dominating all of
Europe and Asia, and
quite likely the
remainder of the world.
The most distressing
legacies from the 19705,
in fact, were the decline
of U.S. strength in
comparison with the
Soviet Union, and the
obvious weakening of its
resolve to continue being
the guardian at the gates
of freedom for other
nations of the world.
More than in any
decade since the 19405,
the borders of freedom
shrank during the 19705,
as most notably Vietnam
and Cambodia came
under a vicious Com
munist control, with a
devastating result
particularly in Cambodia
- which should make the
Writer Wrong About
Professional Wrestling
Dear Sirs:
We are writing in
response to the article,
“1979 A Big Year in
Sports,” written in
January 3rd edition. In
this article the writer
referred to professional
wrestling as “being as
fake as a three-dollar
bill.” Professional
wrestling just happens to
be the most vicious and
brutal of all sports today.
For example, the more
publicized contact sports,
such as pro football and
hockey, provide the
competitors with
protective gear. On the
other hand, professional
wrestlers clash in bone
and gristle combat. Most
professional contact
sports are played once a
week, while pro wrestling
engages battles nightly.
Technical knowledge
plays an important role in
wrestling, as well as the
study of muscle
physiology. These men
dedicate themselves fully
to be conquerors of the
square circle in which
they compete for coveted
titles.
After looking over the
writer’s paragraph, we
came to the conclusion
that he was writing on a
subject of which he had
no basic knowledge
whatsoever. We based
this decision upon his
biased comments and the
three grammatical

peoples of all non-
Communist nations
shudder in apprehension
of a similar fate.
And before the 1970 s
are consigned to unread
history books, Americans
should remind them
selves that this nation
provided its most
dramatic example since
the Civil War of the
primary of constitutional
law.
Watergate was not a
failure of the American
system, it was a
remarkable triumph. A
free people and a free
press, acting through the
auspices of a vibrant
legal system and a
deliberate legislative
process, peacefully
replaced a government
without a shot being
fired.
That was constitutional
democracy at its finest
and the example should
have reassured a world in
which most nations
change governments by
firing squad or street
fighting.
And let’s not forget that
it was U.S. dedication to
peaceful solutions that
maintained the uneasy
peace in the Middle East,
and finally, with the help
of the most courageous
leader of the 19705, An
war Sadat, brought Israel
and Egypt to a better
understanding.
What other nation
worked so diligently for
peace in that troubled
area? What other nation
would have exercised
such restraint in recent
months because it was
concerned with the peace
of the world as a whole?
Indeed, what other
nation would have put the
lives of a handful of
diplomats in such esteem
errors he made in
mentioning four of the top
wrestlers in the area. If
he insists professional
wrestling is so fake, we
suggest that he put on a
pair of trunks and
grapple with one of the
top athletes that is in our
area. We’re sure that one
match will change his
mind completely.

Richard Brown,

Quail Hunting Not What It Use To Be
Quail, Bobwhite,
Partridge - they are all
the same. Little known
missiles that explode at
your feet and make you
shoot holes in the air. I
practice picking out just
one bird, even though it
seems they’re so thick
one shot would knock
down a dozen, but when
that burr interupts my
otherwise perfect con
centration, its all
forgotten.
From what I hear,
quail hunting must have
been something great
several years back. I
know people who won’t
even go now. They say
they were spoiled by the
great shooting back then.
Mr. Thomas Mason,
considered to be among
the finest quail shots
around, always killed two

as the United States has
done?
But most importantly,
as that Moslem diplomat
noted, what other nation
in the world can any non-
Communist, independent
country turn to when
threatened by the real
and ominous aggressor of
the 20th century, which is
the Soviet Union?
And that is not all of the
good story from the 70s.
In the midst of political
upheaval and economic
transitions, the United
States still managed to

Celebrities In Creation
"What is man that thou
art mindful of him?” --
Psalms 8:4
It appears that some
people are celebrities and
most of us are not. Some
people seem to be
specially favored with
looks and talent and fame
and fortune. And yet all of
us are important.
I like the story about
Dr. James Carter, a
Baptist pastor from
Louisiana. He called
Louisiana College to
invite Dr. Robert L.
Lynn, the president, to
preach in his church the
next Sunday. When
Lynn's secretary an
swered, he said; "This is
James Carter. May I
speak with Dr. Lynn,
please?”
The secretary said:
‘‘Did you say James
Carter?” He answered
yes. “Is this Jimmy
with one shot. He just
calmly waited til they
crossed and then he shot.
Mr. Robert Tuggle Sr.
was so good, he shot all
his birds on a covey riser
so that they fell together.
I know that the few times
I’ve ever killed over one
on the rise, I generally
tore the first bird to
pieces and it fell close,
and the second bird was
way out yonder when it
fell. Not so with Mr.
Tuggle. He shot them in a
line so that they all fell
together, not straggled
out. I’ve never seen a
man kill five birds on a
covey rise, but they say
Mr. Mason and Mr.
Tuggle did it regularly.
No wonder people are
disappointed now. People
used to find 20 coveys of
birds in a day. Now a man

centage of its population
than in any decade,
especially the lower
economic levels.
More than 95 percent of
U.S. households are af
fluent enough to own a
television set, if that is
fair gauge, and I think it
is. More than 90 percent
have access to an
automobile. No Com
munist nation can come
close to such standards.
But the first concerns
of the U.S. ad
ministrations in the 1970 s
were the general peace,
and the extension of in
dividual freedom to a
larger number of the
world’s peoples.
After Vietnam, a noble
mission flawed by noble
failures, there was a
desire to lay down the
burden. The U.S. cannot
be the world's policemen,
said many a politician.
But that does not answer
the Moslem diplomat’s
question.
“Who can the govern
ments of such nations
turn to ... but the United
States?”
Carter?” And he replied:
“Well, uh, yes.” then she
said: “Is this President
Carter?”
To that he could only
say: “No, this is James
Carter of Natchitoches.”
Then she disap
pointedly said: “Oh, I
thought I was talking to a
celebrity.”
And she was, only she
didn’t know it. When you
really get down to it, we
are all celebrities. We are
all important people and
you are an important
person, a special creation
of Almighty God and one
with whom He desires to
relate on a personal
basis.
I like the wall hanging
which 1 have seen in
someone’s office; it said:
“Please be patient with
me; God is not finished
with me yet.” It reminds
me of the traveler who
does good to find four or
five. Bobby Tuggle says
my problem is with my
dogs. Don’t laugh at my
dogs. They've never seen
a quail. There aren’t any
out here. But I’ve got one
guaranteed blue blooded
field rat pointer. And I
have one diligent pup who
points a quail wing on a
string. She even retrieves
a stick when you throw it
for her, even though she
spends about 30 minutes
on the return trip.
If it sounds like I’m
disenchanted with
today’s quail hunting, I’m
not really. I love to go. 1
like to go with folks like
Homer Gibbs who knows
where every covey is 15
minutes before the dog
does. He always gives me
the best shot, and doesn't
laugh when I miss. At
