AND ALL
Where Is Chicken Little
Now That We Need Him?
WASHINGTON—Get ready
for the fireworks.
On or about July 2 the
85-ton Skylab satellite is
expected to plunge back into
the earth’s atmosphere, break
into hundreds of pieces, and
bring us a pyrotechnic display
we didn’t bargain for.
NASA officials expect most
of the pieces to burn up
before reaching the earth, but
they admit some 400 hunks
of flaming metal could come
hurtling down in an area
4,000 miles long and 100
miles wide. Just where is any
body’s guess.
That the sky is falling is
rather startling news. Back
when the big race was on to
put rockets into space, I
didn’t hear a single warning to
the effect: “We’ll launch ’em
now and dodge ’em later.”
It takes all the dodging one
can do now to avoid earth
bound perils without having
to worry about flying scrap
iron.
Nevertheless, the runaway
Skylab is still bearing down
upon us. It was sent aloft May
14, 1973, and was expected
to stay in orbit until the early
1980 s. However, as with mere
humans, the routine got to be
a “drag,” which began pulling
the huge satellite back to
earth.
On May 25, I got a call
from Titus Teitelbaum, my
friend the librarian.
“How about joining in a
mass meditation to push the
falling Skylab back into
orbit?” he asked.
“A who to do what?” I
replied in disbelief.
“It’s a worldwide psychoki
nesis effort to ‘think’ the
spacecraft back into space.”
‘‘Teitelbaum, have you
been sneaking a few snorts
among the non-fiction book
shelves?”
“No believe me. This after
noon on a 42-station inter
national hookup some 12
million telekinesis believers
will pool their psychic energy
and mentally push the Skylab
into a safe orbit.”
“Hey, I’m for that. What
do I have to do?”
“Tune in the program and
on cue, thrust the powers of
your mind into outer space.
Let’s mentally encircle the
Recent Research in the Health Care field has
led to many advances in the diagnosis and
treatment of health problems caused by nerve
pressure.
Seven
Danger Signals of
Nerve Pressure
1. Persistent headaches
2 Pain and tension in neck and shoulder muscles
3. Loss of energy
4. Nausea, indigestion or loss of appetite
5. Inability to sleep and relax
6. Abnormal kidney and bowel action
7. Persistent pain in lower back or legs
If you suffer from one or more of the above
danger signals, it may indicate nerve pressure
and a chiropractic examination is advised.
Yes, most insurance companies pay for chiro
practic care.

floundering spacecraft and
force it higher and higher,” he
demanded with gusto.
“Uh, Titus. According to
my wife, if my mental powers
had come from General
Motors they would have been
recalled long ago. I can’t even
thrust the powers of my mind
. past my empty gas tank.”
“At least try. You don’t
want 85 tons of Skylab
garbage on your front lawn,
do you?” He hung up.
At the appointed hour I
took my portable radio out
back, sat beneath an oak tree,
and listened while the project
leaders urged their followers
to launch their brainwaves.
I felt foolish, but Teitel
baum had asked for my help.
I closed my eyes and tried to
activate the powers of my
mind and thrust them sky
ward. In a few months I
settled into a peaceful reverie.
The next thing I knew
someone was shaking my
shoulder. As so many guilt
stricken husbands do, I
blurted out an answer without
waiting for the question.
“I’m sending out brain
waves to keep the Skylab
garbage from landing on the
front lawn,” I stammered.
“Oh? How about using
some of those mental
gymnastics to TAKE OUT the
garbage and to MOW the front
lawn?”
“What you’re asking has
nothing to do with mind over
matter,” I protested.
“Sure it does,” she smiled
impishly. “I’ve made up my
mind and that’s all that
matters.”

Burglaries In Ga. Total
36,149 In Single Year
There were 36,149 residen
tial burglaries reported to the
Georgia Bureau of Investiga
tion during 1978. The total
value of items taken in these
visits by uninvited house guests
exceeded $7.5 million.
Unfortunately, some
Georgia residents will discover
these facts the hard way. They
will return from a fun-filled
vacation to find the front door
ajar and possessions missing.
According to FBI figures,
Southern States experienced
31 percent of all reported
burglaries in the United States
during 1977, the most recent
year for which figures are avail
able. Residential break-ins
accounted for 65 percent of all
burglaries nationwide during
1977 according to the FBI, and
resulted in a loss to property
owners of $977 million.
Because some Southerners
do not take precautions before
leaving on vacation that would
help prevent uninvited entry
into their homes, the Insurance
Information Institute offers
the following pre-vacation
check list:
* Lock all windows and
doors, including those in the
attic, garage and basement.
Deadbolt or double cylinder
locks are your best safeguard.
Windows also should be
secured.
* Don’t leave extra keys in
obvious places such as under a
doormat, over a door or in the
mailbox.
* Make sure your home
retains a “lived-in” appearance.
Discontinue deliveries of mail,
newspapers and milk. Arrange
to have the lawn mowed, and
circulars removed from the
premises.
* Leave the home lights
burning. Automatic timing
devices are an excellent invest
ment. As a professional burglar
put it: “I won’t take a chance
on a timer even if I see it. Why
take a risk when right down
the street some fool hasn’t got
one?”
* Lock all ladders up out of
sight.
* Don’t publicize your vaca
tion. Society or family pages

Fronj The
Pulpit
By DAVID AUTRY, Pastor
Trion United Methodist Church
From the Pulpit” is a regular column provided by the
Chattooga County Ministerial Association, written by a different
pastor each week.
I received the following the other day and was moved by its
message. I needed it I guess. Maybe you need the same message,
too. It’s well worth sharing, so I share it without further
comment.
“One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking
along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes
from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in
the sand, one belonging to him, the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked
back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times
along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He
also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times
in his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it.
“Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you’d walk
with me all the way. But I noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I
don’t understand why in times when I needed you most you
would leave me.”
The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child! I love you and
I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering
when you see only one set of footprints—it was then that I
carried you!”
