Can Be Drafted
Arnall Repeats
By ED ROGERS

Former Gov. Ellis Arnall, just

would accept a real draft to run
for governor in 1966, and added:
“If I run I’ll be elected."
Freedom
To Shop Around
Hart Buck, in a work entitled
“Freedom to Shop Around” writes:
“The principle which enables con
sumers to get the most of what
they want is the principle of the
free market. The heroine of the
free market is the typical Queens¬
way housewife who will go out of
her way rejoicing to buy a box of
detergent two cents cheaper.
“Such an opportunity our heroine
is glad to discover by shopping
around. She would most vocally
resent any restriction on her free¬
dom to shop around. Without this
vital freedom, all other freedoms
— worship, speech, press, assemb¬
ly, and so on — are shadowy, if
not impossible."
Scotland's Land Tithe
By John Connell ,
Special fo The Christian Science
Monitor
GLASGOW Scotland may
soon get rid of its ancient sys¬
tem of land levies which has
discouraged home ownership since
the Middle Ages.
The payment of feus, or tithes,
is reaping a modern whirlwind of
opposition from Scottish home
buyers.
The government is investigating
this landowners’ practice of charg¬
ing annual duties on land they
sell for building purposes. The
levies are held to be completely
unjust and retarding to the coun¬
try’s homebuilding industry.
Annual feus in Scotland are
reckoned to be worth 4,000,000
pounds ($11,200,000) annually to
landowners. Many young married
couples setting up home complain
that the feus are a serious ob¬
stacle in buying houses.
Feu-duty was ended in England
in 1290, but Scots feu-law has re¬
mained just the same as it was
when it was operated by the land
owners in the Middle Ages.
The churches, traditionally land
custodians, have inevitably be¬
come involved in keeping feu-duty
alive.
Many clergymen admit that
church tithes of this nature spell
the difference between financial
poverty and prosperity for many
Christian groups.
The Church of Scotland has feu
assets of 2,000,000 pounds and an
annual duty income of 123,000
pounds.
Many private landowners in
Scotland are known to make con¬
siderable incomes from feus which
have been collected for genera¬
tions.
The landowners maintain that
improvements to property by them¬
selves can only be met from a
system involving some kind of tax¬
ation. But many prospective house
buyers in Scotland see no reason
why they should be penalized for

MY GEORGIA
lonesome for my Georgia
And all the treasures there;
long for golden sunshine
And balmy atmosphere;
like to hear the purring
Of sleepy southern drawl;
thrill to hear the greeting,
“Howdy, folks, how y’all?”
like to see some cotton fields
With powder puffs of white;
like to hear the spindles
Of cotton mills at night;
like to taste raw peanuts
As they come right off the vine;
like to smell some rosin
As it oozes from the pine
hungry for some cornbread
That just melts right in your
mouth;
Some good old crisp fried chicken
Like they cook it ’way down
South;
Some ham and grits and gravy
And some gool old Brunswick
Stew
Some turnip greens and fatback
And some southern barbecue.
I miss my many kin folk
And their gracious loving ways;
I miss the quaint old customs
Handed down from by-gone days;
I miss the magic tonic
Of cool shade and fragrant
Oh, I’m homesick for my
Please take me home again.

One Aided Girl;
Society Is Wrong?
The Editors: I read the article
about Barbara Iverson (the appar¬
ent victim of a kidnapping in St.
Paul, Minn.)
The last paragraph denotes
something terribly wrong with our
society (“All agreed that the car
sped away, squealing tires, and
that a girl screamed for help but
no one notified the authorities”)
when people will not go to a
precious young girl’s cry for help
or even notify the authorities.
It is so far from what Christ
asked, “Who is my neighbor?” and
“Go and do thou likewise in help¬
ing, administering to others.”
The Samaritan took his life in
his own hands when he did the
humane thing. Why shouldn’t we?
That last paragraph keeps ringing
in my heart. It hurts to know that
no one went for help.

Why Newspaper
Advertising?
One of the countless reasons
why the response to newspaper
advertising is so outstanding is
that women expect to see adver¬
tising in their hometown news
paper — The Cleveland Courier.
This special advantage of The
Courier, which we have pointed
out so often, is now buttressed
by a research project which has
concluded: “getting a woman to>
see an advertisement is not enough
—A woman pays attention to ad¬
vertisements when they’re where
she expects to see them —(in The
Cleveland Courier—) otherwise she
is likely to ignore them.”
