SUPREME COURT AGAIN
THE UNITED STATES Supreme
Court objects to God in the class¬
room, but it has little objection to
gambling and to the so-called “nu¬
mbers” rackets.
The Supreme Court has held that
illegally seized material cannot be
used against a defendant. The de¬
cision as to what is “illegally seized”
differs in each state and thus the
“numbers” pusher has an advan¬
tage.
The Supreme Court justices may
not know it but the “numbers” rac
ket is ___
one of the most vicious met¬
hods for crooks getting money out
of people.
How profitable the business is, be¬
came evident when Joseph “News¬
boy” Moriarty’s cache was found in
Jersey City. It amounted to more
than $2,000,000; in fact, it will pro¬
bably run beyond $3,000,000 when
all the returns are in.
THE SUPREME COURT, under
Chief Justice Earl Warren, seems to
go askew so often that people are
beginning to wonder. The day God
was kicked out of the schools, the
court let dirty literature into the
mails.
Maybe some of the judges are
too innocent to know what an un¬
healthy atmosphere smutty books
engender among the young. Or, may¬
be they don't care.—Editorial In

HORMONES TRIM
HEART DANGER
SCIENTISTS FIND
PITTSBURGH. July 19 (AP‘—Ex¬
periments show the body’s level of
cholesterol, a fatty substance that
lines the walls of the arteries and
contributes to heart disease, can be
reduced by thyroid hormones, two
University of Pittsburgh scientists
say.
Dr. Campbell Moses, director of
the Addison H. Gibson Laboratory
at Pitt's Medical School, and Dr.
Thaddeus S. Danowski, head of Pitt’s
division of endocrinology and me¬
tabolism, announced the result of
their experiments.
They said 80 Western State Peni¬
tentary prisoners, whose average
age was 50. each received three
grains of thyroid hormone daily for
a certain period. Their cholesterol
level was reduced to that of a 20
year-old, the scientists said.

BRICE VAN HORN of the Fill¬
more (Calif.) Herald recalls what
the beloved Will Rogers thought of
the weekly newspaper:
“Take away my ham, take away
my eggs, even my chili, but leave
me my newspaper. Even if it has
such purely local news as 'Jim Jones
came home last night unexpectedly
and bloodshed ensued,’ or ‘Jess
Bushyhead, our local M. D., is hav¬
ing one of the best years in his
career, practically speaking —but
they just won’t pay him when they
get well,’’ and ‘election ain’t far off
and everybody is up for office that
can sign an application blank.’ Now
all that doesn’t seem much news
to you. But it is news, especially
when you know the people and they
are your own folks. So, no matter
how punk you think your local
newspaper is, let them take it away
from you a while and see how you
feel. The old newspaper, I think,
is about our biggest blessing. So
let’s read and be merry, for tomor¬
row the paper may not have enough
ads to come out.”

POWER COMPANY MAKES BIG
IMPROVEMENT FOR AREA
The Georgia Power Company has
just completed a $333,000 construct¬
ion project that will provide ade¬
quate electrical capacity for the
Cleveland, Clermont, and Dahlon
ega area growth for many years to
come.
The work includes the cconstruct
ion of six and one half miles of
110,000 volt transmission line and
the erection of a new substation
with a 20,000 kva transformer at
Clermont. Power entering the station
at 110,000 volts will be stepped
to 44,000 volts.
The Cleveland, Clermont, and Da
hlonega areas have been supplied
by a 44,000 volt transmission line
from Gainesville. The increased use
of electricity by residential, farm
and commercial customers in these
areas, however, required that a sub¬
station supplying 44,000 volt power
be provided nearer the loads,
The new facilities have been in¬
stalled to further improve electric
service in the region.
The substation consists of galvan¬
ized steel structures, disconnect
switches, lightning arrestors, com
trol house, and metering equipment.
It is unique in that it includes the
company’s first installation of sul¬
phuric - hexaflouride (SF6) circuit
breakers for 44,000 volt line switch¬
ing duty.

HOME FORECLOSURE * ST
SURVEY PLANNED
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The gov¬
ernment for the first time officially
expressed concern today over “the
rising number of home foreclosures. >»
The census bureau said that "pro¬
mpted by the concern,” it would
make a six-city survey of recently
foreclosed mortgages to find out
why homeowners could not keep
up payments.
Last year’s foreclosures were
nearly 22,000 above 1960. It was the
highest total since 1940.
In 1961, according to government
figures, mortgages were foreclosed
on 73,074 non - farm properties.
Most were private houses.—Atlanta

BILLY GRAHAM CALLS
DIVORCE CIVILIZATION KILLER
FRESNO, Calif., July 20 (AP‘ —
Civilization eventually could be des¬
troyed by America’s No. l social
problem—the broken home—evan¬
gelist Billy Graham told the largest
crowd of his Central California
crusade Thursday night.
“The basic reason for unhappi¬
ness in our homes is that we have
departed from God’s word.” said
Graham. “We have refused to ac
knowedge his plan for the family."
He said young people have been
led to feel happiness is based on
physical compatibility and that
spiritual issues are incidental.

CHRIST COMING, V 4
CRAHAM SAYS
FRENSO, Calif., July 23 (UPI*
Billy Graham ended his eight-day
crusade here Sunday night with a
challenge to his audience of 28,000
to prepare for the second coming of
Christ.
Although he said that the “com¬
ing of Christ could be tomorrow or
a thousand years away,” the Baptist
minister noted that conditions were
right at present.
Graham said that the five signs
preceding Christ’s return were, ac¬
cording to the Bible, a time of fall¬
ing away from the faith, a time of
immorality, a time of increased sin,
a time when the church does not
expect it, and a time when world¬
wide evangelism is in progress.
OUI! WHAT A WAY TO DIE!
North American Newspaper Alliance
PARIS—Terrifying statistics are
produced by a government commis¬
sion studying the liquor habits of
France—which has the highest rate
of alcoholism in the world.
Every day of the year, say the
experts, 5Q Frenchmen die from
drink, and it leaves no mean mark
on those who survive. Every time
there’s a road accident it’s a one-in
three chance that alcohol is the
cause.
It is also responsible for one in
four accidents at work, one in three
simple falls, and for well over half
the assaults and muggings reported
to ft* police, 1
