NIGHT: One reason that comes
Saturday night, / like to visit my
favorite spot along the Ole Ave
nue. and enjoy a good bate of
fresh fried fish and ice cold beer,
is that / have found it a never
failing source of wisdom, the kind,
generally unadorned. but a'---~''s
expressive of a depth of under
standing, perhaps not readily trans
missable but at all times satisfy
lrg the needs for understanding of
the individuals in a certain cate
CORY. Enjoying my fish and beer
this past Saturday night I was
listening to a conversation not far
away, the subject of which was
dignity. AS the talk went on I
heard somebody define dignity af-
Ter stating that dignity was what
Aunt Haggar's Chillun's needed to
like, especially the women. AS it
was being explained, one fellow
says, You see some of our best
looking women they just don't
like for no man to act with dig
nifty. The first thing they'll say
is, huh, chile, everytime you see
him, he's got on color and tie
and standing around talking al
most in whisper. / wouldn't fool
with him for nuthin ;. He thinks
he's something. 1t was further
explained that this was said be-
cause most of our folks just didn't
like dignity. had to agree as /
sat listening that this was more'n
seventy-five per cent right. This
like of appreciation for dignity
is one of the chief reasons that we
as Aunt Haggar's Chillun's are
still suffering from the public
conduct of most of us. l start
ed off to tell how one elbow ex-
planned the meaning of the word
dignity. Pointing at one of the
group at the table he said dignity
is the way you act yourself so
that people will respect you, but
that's jest for you. Now digni-
tation, that means when everybody
is get it. What all of us needs,
he continued, for our self as each,
is more dignity. What we need to-
gether as a race is more dignita-
ton. AS / sat watching l knew
that everyone in the group had got
the meaning of what was being
said and perhaps to far greater
extent than would have been pos
siA.e if dignity and it's application
tek5he individual and the group had
been explained to them by some
learned professor. Yes, the ole
Avenue of a Saturday night is
great place, and where most times
the understanding is far deeper
than the widsdom.

To the laughter and applause
of the audience, Justice Black read
a wholly imaginary judicial opin-
ion of Judge x" upholding the con-
stitutionality of bill taking some

The imaginary opinion said the
court had to weigh against the in

"The great danger" of the judi.
cial balancing philosophy he said
is that "in times of emergency and
stress it gives Government the
power to do what it thinks neces-
sary to protect itself regardless OF
the rights of individuals.
IF the need is great, the right
of government can always be said
to outweigh the rights of the indi-
vidual."
The justice made clear that he
was not talking about the reach
of any particular provision, but
only about how the courts should
apply it to situations it clearly
covers.

The Air Line Pilots Associa-
ton today announced it will
help underwrite the Flight
Safety Foundations study of
air crashes.
Called, ominously enough.
Journeys End" the project Is
aimed specifically at pin-point-
ing causes of air crashes at or
near airports.
The foundation, headed BY
Jerome Lederer. dedicated vet
eran in air safety. is a nom
profit organization formed for
the promotion of aviation
safety. Mr.. Lederer is director
of the Cornell-Guggenheim
Safety Center.
Clarence N. Sayen. president
Of the pilots association, said
his organization is alarmed 5
by an increasing incidence of
air crashes at or near airports
and has already sent a check to
the foundation to further its
analytical study which is prob
ing records back to 1916.
Proposed in July
The project got under way
last July when American Air
lines went to the foundation
with the proposal. Later other
members of the industry lent
financial support to the project,
which is worldwide in scope.
Mr.. Sayen said there has
long been a need for an objec-
tive and independent study of
this serious problem and the
project being conducted by the
foundation will provide valuable
and important data which will
make an important contribution
to air safety"
About 40 per cent of the ac-
cidents in civil aviation last
year-one of the worst on rec
ord-were at or near airports,
year-end reports said.
No Conflict Seen
The foundations study in no
way conflicts with immediate
investigations always launched
by the Civil Aeronautics Board
and the Federal Aviation
Agency-the two Government
facilities charged with that re-
sponsibility. Rather the prof.
ect is concerned with analyZing
the information gathered by
those investigative agencies.

Pope Poined by People
Who Scott at the Gospel

VATICAN CITY, Jan. 6 (AP)
Pope John XIII said today
he was saddened to learn some
people regard the Holy Gospel
as only a fairy tale. He OBJ
viously was referring to a
broadcast two days ago by
Moscow Radio.
On Epiphany, the holiday
commemorating the twelfth
night after Christmas when
the Wise Men brought gifts
to the Infant Jesus, Pope John
told 1000 pilgrims:
Not all the voices are
unanimous in remembering the
birth of the Savior. 1t is pain
full, really, to notice that after
1000 years of studies of the
shining truth which exists be-

there can be only agreement
some people define Christmas
as a fable"
The people the Pope un-
doubtedly was talking about
were the rulers of the Soviet
Union. In broadcast for So
Wet home consumption, Mos
COW Radio said Mon la y
Jesus Christ never existed and
Christmas was a capitalistic
plot to keep the working peo-
pie in chains.
Nevertheless" said Pope
John, "the Gospel is a reality
which triumphs over men and
over time. >.

of the Gospel. hear. that the
Gospel is nothing more than
a tale? And from whom? From
representatives Of those who
would like to be our brothers" /"
On this day concluding the
festivities of Christmas - "a
period Of peace and Of tram
kuillity for all"-the Pope said
it panied him to hear the "sad
voices" which deny the exist
ence Of God and the truth of
the Gospel.
Cites "Inner Richness"
Referring to the Communist
promise to give everyone equal
riches. the Pope said:
Either all poor or all rich
that contradicts nature, the
same nature that put a small
tree near a tall one. The most
important thing is that every
one has the inner richness to
reach heaven"

Residents Urged 10
Secure Rat Bait

Mr.. Bob L. Burkholder of the
u. S. Fish & Wildlife Service an
nounced today that citizens of the
area should avail themselves of
the supply of Warfarin rat-bait at
the City Hall
This bait furnished, free of
charge by the city, is the safest
and most effective poison known
to science for control of rats.
1t is an accumulative type poi
son that must be eaten over a
period of several days to be eff
fective. Warfarin gradually re-
duces the CLOTHING agent of the
blood and the animal dies pain
less death resulting from internal
hemorrhageing. This takes from 3
to 10 days depending upon the
amount and frequency of feeding
and for this reason a constant sup
ply of bait must be available to
the rats at all times.
Permanent warfain bait stations
are being established in the busin-
ess area of the city, but the resi-
dental areas will be the response
bility of the individual property
owners according to Mr.. Richard
Pace, City Health Officer.
Pace again warned the public
that the old city dump had been
treated with fast acting poison
known as Compound 1880. All of
the rats there were dead the morn
ing following the application of
the poison and othe animals fire.
quenting the dump area could
likewise be killed. Extreme eau
ton must be exercised at the old
dump site for several weeks.
Burkholder said, Excellent CO.
operation has been achieved with
all cooperating agencies and the
public thus far on the rat control
program, and the work will be
highly successful if this coopera-
ton can continue and expand"

trade with friends and allies. In
fact, over 994pecent of all mater

lanes are the bonds which permit
the combined strength of the free
