FOREST, MISSISSIPPI SCOTT COUNTY TIMES WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1969 Looking At (From Editorial Page) miles per hour was "speed" and at the end of World War Il the fantastic speed of 470 miles per hour was top secret, but it had been done. "Then something marvelous happened. It was discovered that we didn't have to make progress the hard way. We didn't have to plod. Then came 1945, the year of big change.

"Why not substitute inspiration for perspiration? All of a sudden in 1945, we started making more progress in a week than we had previously made in a year. Speed zoomed up to 470 M.P.H, and blasted through the sound barrier. The sound barrier was merely an incident. Breaking the oat barrier was the beginning of technology. "Let me try to give you an example of some other obsolete concepts.

If I were to tell you that each new jet Transatlantic aircraft carries as many passengers as the Queen Mary did, some of you would doubt it. If you doubt my statement because you are still using obsolete concepts based on three dimensions length, width, height, which really used to be a pretty valid method, but it isn't any more. "It took man 250 years to go from a short bow and arrow to the long bow and arrow two hundred and fifty years of painful plodding technological progress. It didn't take 10 years to go from an A-bomb to an H- "Let us restore the prestige of brains, engineering brains, management brains, all kinds of brains. While we are at it, let us restore respect and provide recognition for those who have ability to get things done! Let us restore, if necessary, technological adams." REMINISING (From Editorial Page) unassigned school center.

Asked if there would be any change in plans about a transfer if the funds are denied, Mr. Hollingsworth, whose bus can carry 36 students, said: "No. Some of the patrons say the kids will stay at home if they can't go to Ringgold." He said it is the view of many of his Good Hope neighbors that the Lake school "can exist only a short time" in the reorganization program. The county board said Wednesday that students attending a school in violation of an official assignment cannot participate in any of that school's athletic programs. Mayor Armistead Street, a member of the Lake board of trustees, met with the county board Wednesday along with other members on the Lake board.

Mayor Street said the Lake school buildings, regardless of reports, "have good foundations and additional classrooms can be conveniently added." He also said the Newton county board has assigned "a few more students" to Lake than in previous years and he is confident the enrollment "will measure up" to the state requirements and assure continuance of the Lake school, Assignment of the Good Hope students to Lake was one of the most sensitive decisions made by the county board. At various times, the board received petitions from patrons requesting students to be assigned to For- Cancer Crusade Underway Here Many millions of dollars are spent annually by Americans on unproven or worthless medical remedies and "cures," Dr. David Lee stated in an interview. "A considerable part of this money is wasted by individuals," Dr. Lee continued on alleged cancer cures which have no effect on the cancer.

Worse than the money squandered, Dr. Lee pointed out is time lost in seeking proper treatment which could truly save the patient's life. Because cancer begins as a cell which grows wildly and eventually spreads via the lymph glands and blood stream to other parts of the body, Dr. Lee explained it is of paramount importance that once it is detected, the patient begin proper treatment at the earliest opportunity. Asked how the public can be alerted to a worthless method of cancer treatment, Dr.

Lee offered six signs and characteristics which are shared by many of the proponents of such methods, from the least! educated to the apparently brilliant. These were: (1) he offers a cancer treatment available only from himself; (2) the treatment bears his own name, or is offered in the name of his private research organization whose other members are not listed; (3) he claims he is being persecuted by the medical trust or sabotaged by the medical profession; (4) he uses testimonials or letters from patients in support of his treatment; (5) his cured patients and greatest supporters have only his word for it that they had cancer when they came to him; (6) he refuses or dis- ours, then our personal lives would be chaotic, too. The authority with which the Bible speaks saves us from this disaster. The God-related man is always aware that although he has freedom of choice his choices must conform to the will of God. Parents who would heed the admonishment contained in Deuteronomy 6.

"And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy desperately need the source of authority the Bible provides for this teaching, for the young of today are, perhaps, the most questioning of all generations! Let us not be guilty of wasting the vast intelligence potential of our youth of today nor the equally vast resources of God's Word, as it is written! SAVE NOW S. S. Lesson (From Editorial Page) velop a guide for personal living and personal commitment. The Bible claims Christian history and Christian experience God speaks to mankind today, just as He did in the past. And this He will continue to do, until the second coming of Christ.

It is a message of hope; an anchor of faith, giving courage to the discouraged; it can give to those who are receptive "a new heart" something that is. greatly desired by God in man. means many things to many people. It can be a frightening thing, as evidenced by misdirected authority in past wielded in today's "cold war" tactics. Yet, in a broader sense, we realize that without some authority in world affairs, there would be chaos.

The same holds true in our personal lives. If we did not discipline ourselves, and bow to authority greater than est, to Lake, and to Ringgold. One board member said the Good Hope school is only three miles from Lake school and the Ringgold school is nearly six miles from the Good Hope building. Even after the Lake transfer was recorded in the minutes, the county board continued to receive delegations from Good Hope, some of them approving the new assignment and some of them opposed. All of the county attendance centers will start the 1957-58 terms on August 29.
