ARE U. S. PEOPLE LACKING
IN INTEGRITY AND MORALITY?
QUESTION: In an hour when it
appears as if Russia might dominate
us, can we not rely on the fact that
this nation is better than Runssia and
that therefore God will not allow that
wicked nation to overcome a good
one ?—0. L.
ANSWER: I wish I could have such
confidence, but unhappily it is not ac¬
cording to God’s pattern nor His word.
Many good nations have been overrun
by those more wicked. That is be¬
cause there are so many hidden ele¬
ments involved in judgment. We can
only see the surface appearance.
But you have also raised a question
concerning goodness. Are we really a
good people ? If taking the lead among
the nations for crime is goodness and
if exalting the sensuous is goodness,
then we are. But if these are other¬
wise, then we may be lagging in basic
integrity and morality.
Even if we are better than some
other nations, God might still chasten
us under the hand bf another nation
to bring us back to a place of fearing
Him and loving Him.
One of the prophets complained,
“For the wicked doth compass about
the righteous; therefore wrong judg¬
ment proceedeth.” (Habbakuk 1-4.) told
But God corrected his error and
him, “I am working a work in your
day, which ye will not believe though
it be told you.” In an age such as this
one, the people of God were counseled
to live by faith, and not to judge by
appearance of the moment. That is
what we must do in ours.

Experts Declare
First Man To Go
To The Moon Must Be
Romance Proof
The first men to go the
will be made “romance-proof,”
are told by a scientist working
the moon-exploration
They will be trained here on
to find joy only in work. They
take cold showers and brisk
in the morning. They will be
slow pills and dull pills and
care pills until finally they
recognize a girl as a girl unless
is carrying a sign: “I am a girl.”
Comes the day of the final
mination, Jayne Mansfield or Mar¬
ilyn Monroe or some other young
lady of whome there can be no
doubt will apear before them in a
bathing suit. It the moon candidate
cries out, “Why, I have seen that
fellow somewhere before!,” he
qualified. Man he’s ready! They ig¬
nite the motors, and away he goes.
And on the moon he’ll look good.
Dr. T. Charles Helvey of the Uni¬
versity of Kansas and the scientist
in charge of the bio-physical pro¬
gram of the Radiation, Inc., Orlan¬
do, Fla., thinks the ideal moon
“team" will consist of two men and
one wofan. The woman, he says,
ought to he either a chemist or a
doctor, and should have and imper¬
sonal attitude toward men. She’ll
be given pre-flight treatment, too.
T hey will put her on a lie-detector
and watch her blood-pressure reac¬
tion to a yellow convertible, a mink
stole and a series of Lily Dache
hats. Meanwhile, a succession of
handsome leading men from stage
screen nad television will parade
before her, hold her hand, look deep
into her eyes, and say pleadingly,
“Marcia, Marcia, let me take you
away from ail this.”
If she is proof against them, they
will put her to the great, final test
to which any ordinary well-adjusted
woman must succumb. A young
man who has been scientifically de¬
termined as her “type” will say
simply and humbly, “Marcia,
need you. Need you, need you, need
you.”
If she is not moved by a man who
needs her, if she replies coldly,
“You are under a misapprehension,
sir. I am not Marcia. I am Miss
Ethel Carstairs, a biophysical
chemist,” she’s got it made. She’ll
look good on the moon, too.
But what kind if impression are
these faceless representatives of
ours going to make among the in¬
habitants of the moon? Are we all to
be judged on the basis of this uni¬
maginative, unemotional
crew? Let’s’ say the rocket ship
lands and is surrounded by the hap¬
py, laughing people of the moon.
“Greetings, Earthlings,”
leader says. “You are just in time
for the regular Friday night orgy.
Here are thre^ tickets. Be our
guest. Man, we’re really
out tonight.”
“We are not interested in orgies,”
says our rocket captain stiffly. His
pills are still working. “Conduct us
at once to your libraries and mu¬
seums and laboratories and your
stitutions of higher learning. We
wish to study your culture.”
"Culture?” echoes the moon lead¬
er incredulously. “Man, who’s
culture? We just sit around
ing moonbeams and clapping
hands and beating our feet
chasing each other around the

Highway Work Causes
Land To Erode
Two Georgia agricultural experts
said Wednesday that expanding
highway construction has sharply
increased land erosion problems.
E. G. Diseker and E. C. Rich¬
ardson of Cartersville told mem¬
bers of the American Society of Ag¬
ricultural Engineers “conservation
measures over the last 25 years
have reduced the acreage of steep
erodible croplands by encouraging
farmers to plant cover crops, pas¬
tures and woodlands.”
Road work, however, has increas¬
ed the erosion, runoff and silt-pro¬
ducing situations from road banks,
fills and roadside ditches, they re¬
ported.
Diseker, an agricultural engi¬
neer, and Richardson an agrono¬
mist, both with the LhS. Depart¬
ment of Agriculture, said highway
officials can reduce erosion hazards
by employing types of vegetation
used by farmers to solve steep land
gullying problems,
