A Lock for Christmas?
If Santa Claus is nice
enough to bring somebody
in your house a new bike
this Christmas—and he will
probably deliver about 2
rillion of them this year—
the near-perfect accessory
gift is a lock and chain.
Bike thefts are a booming
business and an increasing
police headache all over the
country. Parents buying
Christmas bikes for their
children, or for themselves,
can follow some practical
advice from the Bicycle
Institute of America on how
to keep from becoming a
pedestrian again.
Buy a four-foot length of
case-hardened steel chain,
with links not less than 3/8
inch diameter, and a qual
ity lock with at least a 3/8
inch shackle. Run the chain
through both wheels and the
frame before locking the
bike to some stationary
object. Register your new
bike with the police, iden
tifying it by color, style and
serial number. Additionally,
low cost, non-deductible
bicycle theft insurance is
available through all bi
cycle retailers who are
members of the National
Bicycle Dealers Associa
tion.
Your Christmas bike is a
considerable investment as
wellas a prized possession;
lock it, register it and in
sure it. (NP Features)

Miss Sandra Coffee of Dodge

Loneliness
To ‘‘make a virtue of neces
sity’’ means to accept one of
life’s inevitable burdens and
change it from a hardship into
a blessing. Loneliness is an
example of one such inevitable
burden, It is part of the “human
condition.” St. Augustine said
our hearts are restless until
they rest in God. This feeling
of alone-ness .and isolation
thrives even amid the most
pressing crowd and the most
lively activity.
One can try to run away
from loneliness, feeding on
every sense-pleasure and
killing time itself in a round
of duty orsensuality. Or one can
make a virtue of the necessary
alone-ness of life. To make of
loneliness a virtue, several
steps are needed. First and
most important is the step of
recognition: ‘I do feel alone,
separate, no matter what I am
doing, where lam., . .”
A next step that of accept
ance: ‘“‘Loneliness is not bad
at alll It is a necessary part
of being a ‘self,’ having a self
identity.’’ A further move in
making of this necessity a virtue
is self-exploration: ‘“Who
actually am I? What is this self
of mine that can admit and
accept its lonely self-hood?"”’
In other words, what gift did
God give me which makes me
different from others, to do the
special work He has destined
for me, so that there is no
other similar soul I can idcntify
with and feel perfectly at home?
The real virtue of this necessity
of loneliness is that it drives
or brings a person to know
himself. Nothing that can dothis
can be all badl .
RESOLUTION: Since loneli
ness reveals what talents we
possess to make us standapart,
work hard to use these talents
“for mankind, especially when

A biologist
e e
and her guinea pig.
A tiny crayfish, the number of his relatives, and the
company he keeps tell Dana Miles a lot about his
environment. Dana is a Georgia Power biologist who
helps keep a close check on water quality
Dana’s department deals with aquatic life, but
we have others working with everything from land
scaping to clean-air projects. For instance, there’s
a landscape architect who designs beautification
plans for such areas as substations.
Another man coordinates the planting of rights
of-way with cover crops for wildlife. Woodlands,
more than 62,000 acres, come under the careful
watch of foresters. Engineers oversee the construc
tion of cooling towers to protect water quality. And
electrostatic precipitators to help keep the air clean
Our business is supplying electricity. But we also
have a commitment 'to safeguard the environment.
That’s why we have people like Dana working for us

CONTROL ROACHES
A single roach may camry
thousands of disease germs,
This is reason enough to try to
control the pest. Extension
Service entomologists say
control should first begin with
prevention. They suggest
sealing cracks around doors,
windows and pipes. ‘T'hen
check all boxes, grocery hags
and other containers brought
into the house. The
entomologists add that
sanitation is also an important
step in controlling roaches.
Middle age is whenyou’re not
inclined to exercise anything
but caution,
