Recipe For Understanding
A few weeks ago, the 1967 Na
tional Senior Girl Scout Conference
was held in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The purpose of the meeting was to
concentrate attention on ways of
expanding Girl Scout membership
in the core areas of cities. Girls from
58 Scout councils in urban areas
representing a membership of more
that one million attended the meet
ing.
The riots which have torn our
cities have been rooted in fear and
feelings of persecution and frustra
tion. The present effort being made
by the Girl Scouts of America to
, bring the opportunities of scouting
to all girls living in the densely
populated urban centers of our na
tion is aimed directly at the root of
the problem. As young people of
different backgrounds can be
brought together in the sharing of
common experiences and goals, the
prejudices of their parents tend to
be broken down. For the future, a
base of mutual understanding can
graduSlly be built among girls who
have worked together with each
other to build a bridge of friendship
between Americans who are now too
often strangers.
The tremendous enthusiasm, dedi
cation and Confidence of the girls at
tending this conference provided
compelling evidence that the Amer
ica of tomorrow is in good hands. In
ther present effort, the Girl Scouts
deserve thS thanks and support of
all of us.
Out Of Bounds
The National Labor Relations
Board has too often made it a prac
tice to impose penalties which would
be beyond the pale of legal prece
dent and practice itl a court of law.
Now it has happened again. The
NLRB has found that a firm, in its
opinion, has engaged in unfair labor
practices contrary to the National
Relations Act. Although the com
pany involved believes that it is not
guilty of violations and plans to ap
peal the case, the NLRB has ruled
that it must mail a notice Of the Vio
lations to all of its employees, post it
on all company bijlletinj^oards, and
at a meeting of all its employees,
have a company official read the
notice. According to The Wall Street
Journal, the District of Columbia
Court of Appeals has ruled that any
such forced public confession was
“degrading.”
This case will eventually be de
cided in the Supreme Court, and it
is to be hoped that the precedent of
forced public confession will be re
versed. It jeopardises a fundamental
tenet of human freedom—that no
person believing himself innocent
should be forced to declare publicly
that he is guilty.

United Nations - An Important Force
The United Nations Is the greatest
experiment yet attempted In the age
long search for peace among na
tions. Imperfect as it is, the tJN is so
necessary that, as Adlai Stevenson
said, “If the UN did not exist, it
would have to be invented."
On October 24th, by proclamation
of President Johnson, the nation will
mark the 22nd anniversary of the
founding of the United Nations. The
occasion will be observed all over
the country with prayer* with con
ferences on the many activities of
the international organization.
Since its founding, the UN has
often failed to fulfill the high hopes
set for it. Many funeral orations
have been pronounced over its
grave. How oft$n have We heard
that “the UN has squandered its own
credit and dissipated its usefulness"
or “little remains of the original UN
concept.”
Those who bury the UN or have
lost confidence in it overlook one
fact: the UN’s performance is limit
ed by the limited resources provided
by its members. The UN can only be
as effective as the moral, political
and financial support it receives.
And when we consider that the UN
also reflects the national, racial,
ideological and economic differences
of its 122 members, we have an idea
of both the problems and potential
of the world organization.
A realistic view of the UN’s pres
ent capability is needed as we ap
proach the World organization’s an
niversary. Fewer illusions will
make for fewer disappointments.
But we can take heart in the obser
vation by Prof. Lincoln P. Bloom
field of M.I.T. that “the United Na
tions is the only political institution
in history that became indispensable
before it became effective.”

Then here is something you may not
know about goats:
The goat la a coarse woolen sheep, with
a cracked voice and a sanguine digeston.
They had rather steal a rotten turnip out
of a garbage can than come honestly by 0
peck of oats. They strike from the head 1111
stead of the shoulders, and are as likely to
hit the mark as is a bumblebee. They Ire
faithful critters in the hour of adversity, ahd
will stick to a man as long as he lives in a
shanty. They can climb everything except
a greased pole and are always poor In ihe
body but fat in the stomach. What they eat
seems to all go to appetite. A fat goat would
be a real curoslty.
There ia no man so poor but that ha cad
afford to keep one dog — and we have known
some so poor that they could afford to keep
three.
We know some of this is going to make
strange reading to the younger generation,
but we are recalling things front a great
many years ago. For instance, these re
marks about a rooster:
Roosters are the pugilists among birds,
and having no suitable shoulder to strike
with, they strike from the beak and tfea
heel. When a rooster gets whipped the hefts
all march off with the other rooster, even if
he isn’t half so big or a* handsome. It is
, pluck tfeat wins a hen. Roosters aa a class
’ won’t do any household work. They spend
most of their time in crowihg and strutting,
and once in a while they find a Worm which
they make a great fuss over, calling their
wives up from a distance, apparently to
treat them, but just as the hens get there,
this elegant cuss bends over and gobbles up
the worm.
Just like a man for all the world 1

We just thought you’d like to know.
Our wife was horn in October, and just
as a matter of curiosity we looked up her
horoscope:
The women born in October Will he
short of statue, and acquainted with grief.
She will want a great many things ifl this
world that aren’t handy to be gotten. She
will marry just about the right time, and
undertake te live with her mother-in-law,
Which is a difficult contract to fill, but be
ing Of sweet end gentle nature that even
tolerates the euaaedneas of the man she
married, she is indeed a jewel among wo
men.
The horoscope for the woman who was
born in July IS quite interesting. It says:
The girl born this month Will flash like
S streak of yphoW sunshine. She Will fee«
sought after like the balm of many flow
ers. She will have poetry for breakfast, and
Spend the rest of the day on zephyrs aad
chocolate caramels. The man who gets her
for a wife will change into a butterfly, and
the two will be seen, some sweet night, fly

As the Senate Armed Services Commit
tee made clear, the war in Vietnam is go
ing badly, what with McNamafa’s bans and
certain inhibitions imposed by the President.
But it could be worse. Think what would
happen if the Supreme Court got into the
act. In that event a 5-4 decision might re
quire the military to carry on as follows:
1. The constitutional rights of Viet Cong
and North Vietnamese must be respected
under every circumstance.
2. Under no circumstance may an ah
leged enemy be summarily Ulled without
due process, including the right to appeal.
3. No prisoner shall be denied counsel,
and if he wishes to be represented by some
one from Hanoi, Peking or Moseew, this
must be arranged.
4. Since the court views with repugnance
the doctrine of guilt by association, it Shall
not be considered evidence against a pris
oner that he is found in enemy .uniform
Such a person could, after all, be a Stoke
ly Carmichael, a Yale professor ot an Amer
ican folksinger entertaining enemy troops,
costumed for the occasion.
3. The military must cease add desist
at once from the use of radar and Other
electronic devices which the court holds
to be an unwarranted invasion of the privacy
of the individual*
be subject to civil and criminal ac
tion before this court
10. Members of the military shall under

THE EVERYDAY
XOUMSEtQR
BY
DR. HERBERT SPAUGH
There are two sides to the “New Morality” code which is be*
lug widely discussed in bull sessions on college campuses, accord
ing to Louis Cassels, veteran United Press International corres
pondent. He states that this new morality has been enthusiastical
ly promoted by Playboy Magazine “with an assist from certain the
ologians who are not noted for their reticence about publicity.”
He quotes from a report in the Journal of the American Medi
cal Association by Dr. Seymore Halleck, director of student psy
chiatry at the University of Wisconsin. He said that 70 per cent
of the coeds who responded to a confidential questionnnaire affirm
ed the belief that there is “nothing wrong” with premarital sexual
intercourse. However, he said only 22 per cent said they had ac
tually engaged in intercourse. Cassels then quotes the Rev. Paul
F. Bosch, Lutheran campus chaplain at Syracuse University, who
sets forth counter - arguments which should be presented to young
people who secretly admire and approve the new morality.
, Bosch contends that this new morality can be shown to he
false at almost every point. He then proceeds to dissect “the four
arguments most frequently mentioned by exponents of the new
morality.”
No. 1 - Sex is simply a game, like tennis. “As long as no one
gets hurt, and no one takes it seriously, it’s fun and there’s no
harm in it” He says that this light-hearted view may make some
sense for boys, but not much to girls as there is “a vast difference
between male sexuality and female sexuality.” He notes that Wo
men have much more at stake in this experience, and take it more
seriously. Subconsciously they realize that they are gambling with
their future. ■ - || . "£ .
No. 2 - “Sex is merely an appetite like hunger, and.,should be
satisfied as matter-of-factly as any other normal human need.”
Bosch’s counter - arguments concedes there is somp truth in
this, but observes that the premise that human happiness consists
in prompt satisfaction of all appetites isn’t true. Only spoiled
children expect to have their wants gratified. Their ability to dis
cipline appetites, including sex, is a marX of a mature personality
No. 9 - “Sex is simply a matter of getting to know you.” Boecfc
grants that sex does perform that function, but state* that to knew
someone intimately it to put him or her in a position of vulnerable
ity, in a position of getting hurt, without the security of total com
mitment on ail levels of life. .
No. 4 - Sex is simply an expression of love, a alien or symbol
of affection, that Chrktiafts uphold as the ideal basis of all human
relationships. ; V
