Dear Mr. Publisher:
I went to a church convention last week. The high light
was suppose to have been a speech by the Bishop, but unfor
tunately it never got off the ground. As soon as the Bishop
opened his mouth a group of young people started booing and
chanting. The pore fella tried about 10 times, but he could
n't be heard above the noise. I knew this was coming sooner
or later, 'cause college speakers and politicians have had it
as a steady diet.
Some folks say that all this yelling and booing during a
speech ain't nothing but down-right rudeness. I believe it's
a hole lot deeper than that - it's a mal-function of the gall
bladder. The way I got it figured this mal-function is caus
ed from watching too much television.
You see, most young pieople these days have grown up on
TV. From it they learned to talk, eat, smoke, drink, fight,
lie, and make love. Years ago parents used to raise their
kids. These days TV does it for 'em.
The only problem is, that they've set in front of the box
so long and listened to it talk, that their own vocal cards have
been suppressed. This in turn has thrown the gall bladder off
balance. After a while all this stuff builds up inside like
atomic power until pretty soon the mouth springs a leak. The
rest is history- out comes all this talk, mingled with gall.
The bad thing about this is that there don't seem to be any
way to cut off the noise. With TV all you gotta do is turn
the knob. Unfortunately pieople don't come with knobs.
Mr. Publisher, the thing that bothers me most is that the
disease might be catching. If so, the day may come when
everybody talks and nobody listens. And, when nobody lis
tens, everybody will just turn up the volumn. Won't the
earth be a noisy place to live?
Another danger in everybody talking is that if we don't
shut our big moutte, nobody will be able to see what our
faces look like. Speaking of noise, I think Pve rambled on
lr»tig enough so I'll close with this advice: "Be swift to hear
and slow to speak."

Family Planning Clinic Offers Choice
The choice about birth is
one of the most important choi
ces that we make in our whole
lives. This is true because it
is a choice we make —not for
ourselves--but for another pier
son.
We. as parents, have a
more important influence in
the lives of our children than
anyone else. What the mother
eats in the earliest months of
piregnancy, and how she takes
care of herself may determine
not only the child's physical
health but his brain capacity as
well. K the mother really
cares about the little child she
is carrying, she will not omit
seeing a doctor in the early
stages of pregnancy. What a
tragedy if a lifetime of 70
or 80 years is marred by some
thing that could have been
avoided if the mother had giv
en a doctor a chance totake
more care of her unborn child.
Maybe we think that birth
is a question of fate rather
than choice. We used to think
that same thing about de a th,
but now we are no longer so
careless about how death oc -
curs. We worry a good deal
about the circumstances of
death, so maybe we should
now think a little more about
how birth happens. We should
be ready and able to give all
that we can to this tremendous
experience of bringing a child
into the world.
Instead of just raising a fa
mily, we should think in terms
