Burning Old City Bonds Mayor Frank Pate. Commissioners James B, Roberts and Tom Coldee.> and City Clerk Charles Brock enjoyed themselves last week burning up several old bond issues the City has been pa ing on for several years. Burned were The question of ambulance service for the County hasn't gone away, even though it hasn't been discussed for the past couple of months. The County Commission was awakened to this fact STuesday night when W. P. Comforter, operator of the county's ambulance service / at the moment told the Board r his temporary permit expires SJune 30. Comforter was .J granted a temporary permit by the State of Florida to continue the service through his funeral home while the County decided on whether or not to furnish the service. State law requires stringent rules and regulations for ambulance service now which make it prohibitive for Comforter to continue in the business. Gulf County now faces two alternatives: no ambulance service at all, or the approv- ed service provided by the County at tax payer expense. And expense is the key word in the Commission's deliber- ation over the matter. Esti- mates are that the provision of the service will cost any- where from $50,000 to $100,000 a year to meet all rules and regulations. Comforter told the Board, "You had better start think- ing about this thing, because I can't continue to operate after June 30 unless some special permission is given. I can't continue to operate be- yond January 1 under, any conditions. issues for water plant construction, bonds on the original The County Commission water and sewer installation construction, dredging bonds feels it will need a minimum and a funding issue. The only bond issue owed by the City of three ambulance vehicles, now is the one floated in the mid-50's to enlarge the which Comforter estimated Municipal Hospital. The Hospital bonds will be paid off in would cost in the neighbor- five years. hood of $54,000. If a trained Star photo ambulance crew is hired, it will mean hiring 16 men to furnish 24-hour service in both ends of the county. Under the state law, service would be required in both ends of the county because of distances involved. Commissioner Lamar Da- vis suggested the County place a question on the Sep- tember primary ballot asking voters to state whether they want an ambulance service and if they will approve a special tax assessment to pay for it. The Board feels it cannot now finance the ser- vice -because of mill levy limits imposed by the state Sharks Hosting Tourney Port St. Joe's streaking (pre-1974 meaning of the word) Sharks will be hosts today and tomorrow to the Class AA sub-district base- .ball tournament. Games will get underway this afternoon at :00 p.m., when Port St. Joe meets Carter-Parramore. Chatta- hoochee and Blountstown .play in the 4:00 p.m. game. The winners will meet Fri- day afternoon at 3:30 in the championship game. Winner of the tournament goes to the District play-offs, .then on to the state tourna- ment. The District Tournament will be held at the school of the Group II tournament be- ing played this week in Mon- ticello. Head-Knocking Session Clears Up Some Plant Controversies Pick Something Soft If a person has to have an automobile accident; he' shouldn't go around looking for something like the City's big truck crane to run into. Last Thursday, Daisy Davis smashed into the hanging bucket of the crane before she could stop. The only damage was to the windshield of Mrs. Davis' car and, natural- ly, to her peace of; mind'. The accident. occurred near the City warehouse on Fifth Street. Star photo FHA Officials Will Present Explanation of Funding Act Local citizens and elected officials will have an oppor- tunity to hear a firsthand explanation of the Rural Development Act of 1972 and the various programs it offers during the week of, April 22, according to a release from the office of Congressman Bob Sikes. FHA officials will be spend- ing three days in the Pan- handle to present the discus- sion before the citizens of nine communities in eight counties. In addition to rural housing, business -and indus- trial loans and community programs, other FHA pro- grams of interest to our area will be discussed. One of the hearings will be held in Port St. Joe to- day, Thursday, April 25 at 3:30 p.m. at the Courthouse. 1 Claude L. Green, Jr., State Director of 'FHA, and FHA Chiefs John D. Carver, Jr., Rural Housing; Charles H. Little, Business and Indus- trial; and William W. Wea- thers, Community Programs will lead the discussions. According to Sikes, the Rural Development Act is one of the most important pieces of legislation to our part of Florida which has been enacted in recent years. it provides for loans for social, cultural and recrea- tional facilities to public bodies. Also, loans can be made for the purpose of improving, developing or financing business, industry, agribusiness and employ- ment, and improving the economic and environmental climate in rural areas. "I want to strongly urge all interested citizens and public officials to attend the meet- ings," he said. Strong discussion and fin- ger pointing characterized a meeting between the City Commission and their en- gineers and contractors con- cerning the Wastewater Treatment plant problems Monday afternoon. The City Commission has been disturbed by recurring troubles in the plant opera- tion and have been, most disturbed by a 'leaking eae- thern dike around the 82 acre aereating pond. The Commission is afraid the dike won't hold since considerable leaks and seepage showed. up when the pond was partially filled. Inspection of the dike was conducted by experts during the past week, with the re- port received at the meeting. The Orofino Corp., of Tam- pa reported the seepage was normal for this type con- struction and would gradual- ly stop: The. Orofino report stated most earthern dikes usually include clay as part of the fill, but in this case only sand was used. Clay will prevent seepage: sand won't, the report showed. The. Oro- fino report advised, filling the lake with a constant monitor- ing in case of unexpected trouble. Engineers Sverdrup, and Parcel, Associates, told the Board their firm would cor- rect any design mistakes they have made and will provide the City a statement in writing of deficiencies caused by the contractors. Upon receipt of the notice, the Commission will issue a 48-hour ultimatum to the con- tractor for correction. The written report is what the Commission has been after for the past few weeks and 'what was apparently stalled off by the engineers. The Commission wanted an expert placing of/blame for deficiencies so they could I /t put the pressure to the proper the plant operating properly, was over, but the City C parties to get them corrected.

Shown above is a perfect specimen photographed by a Star photographer this week. Star photo and budget needs now facing the county. In the meantime, the Board was scheduled to meet last night in a special session to come up with a plan for operation which would not require the 16 men mentioned earlier. Comforter pointed out he has had about 20 calls thus far this year, and- the Board is reluctant to hire that many men to make five ambulance runs a month. The alternative is to go back to the days of carrying the injured to the hospital in cars. FACE LOSS The County faces a loss of $90,000 a year in road repair and construction revenues from the State of Florida if legislation currently before the House and Senate is passed changing the formula for distribution of the seventh cent gasoline tax. Currently, the County is receiving around $200,000 each year for secondary maintenance and new con- struction. The County Commission joined other counties in pas- sing a resolution opposing the legislation. OTHER BUSINESS In other items of business, the Board: -Agreed to support full state funding of the Re- gional Library system. Mrs. Patton said the State approp- riated $3.5 million for librar- ies last year and spent only $525,000. Gulf County receiv- ed only $1,793 in state funds last year. -Accepted ,a bid of $265.00 from Robert Nobles to pur- chase a surplus 115 horse power outboard motor from the Sheriff's Department. -Accepted a bid of $15.00 from James McClellan *for two walkie talkie radios con- fiscated by the Sheriff's De- partment.' -Awarded a bid of $1,- 299.90 to Burford Equipment Co., of Marianna to make repairs to a Mosquito Control tractor. -Received bids on fire equipment for the White City Fire Department but delayed award of the bid until they can be studied. -Gave Mosquito Control supervisor Emmett Daniell permission to advertise for a tractor and bush hog. -Agreed to pledge up to $20,000 per year from the Secondary Road fund to guar- antee repayment of bonds to build a toll bridge across the Apalachicola River at the end of State Road 22. The pledge was made provided Liberty County, across the River,. would also pledge funds for this reason. Playing Golf for Cancer The Gulf County Cancer Society, in cooperation with the St. Joseph's Bay Country Club, will hold a golf tourna- ment for the benefit of the Gulf County Cancer Society. Qualifying rounds will be played on Saturday, April 27, to establish what flight each participant will play in on Sunday. The golfer's Satur- day score and Sunday score will be added together to determine winners in each flight. There will be a trophy awarded to the winner of each flight and also consola- tion trophies. Each player will contribute $10.00 to the local Cancer Society Fund. Please call Code House, PGA, at 229-9751, and sign up. 15 Cents Per Copy .L THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla.

Cradle to Grave There's an interesting article in the April issue of Readers' Digest concerning the socialist .style of living in Sweden. Sweden is the most affluent of the European nations and is second only to the United States in gross national product per capital. Citizens of the nation enjoy some of the largest government subsidies of any- nation in the world. A mother is paid a certain amount when a child is born and so much per day for a' period of time. A person off work receives 90 percent of his salary for six months until he can get back to work. There are no slums. Everyone lives in adequate and substantial hous- ing. Nobody pays a hospital bill. Social security is provided for retirees and all is seemingly pea- ches and cream. SAll may seem like peaches and cream, but the Swedes are rebell- ing against this utopia. Does this seem possible? Here you have a nation with no want, over 300 cars Other Editors me.

Nobody is hungry. Everyone has good hous- ing, etc. But it costs an arm and a leg. Some Swedes are taxed at a rate of up to 92 percent in direct and hidden taxes. The lowest tax rate is 45 percent, half again as high as the tax rate in the United States. There 'is a moral here. We can have cradle to the grave care, with not a financial care to the world. It will cost you all you make however. The decision we must make is whether we wish to spend all we make on the type life we choose or if we should spend all we make on the type life the government choos- es for us. That shouldn't be too hard a decision for independent thinking Americans to make. Still, there is a vocal corps of those who would have us follow in the steps of Sweden. Say: /isit from' A Holmes County Advertiser One of the nice things about being the editor of a small town newspaper is that every time a politician comes to town, he feels a compulsion to come in and say hello. I was a bit startled Tues- day morning, however, when Lt. Gov. Tom Adams came into The Advertiser office and announced that he "Just wanted to stop by and visit with you good. folks for a minute." "This is the first time in .3/2 years that I've been in a newspaper office," Adams said, apparently referring to the fact that he had not been on the political trail since he ran on the -team with Gov. Reubin Askew in 1970. A lot of things have hap- opened to Adams since 1970, one of which is that Gov. Askew has announced that Adams will not be on the team when he runs this year. Adams may form a team of- his own, though: and instead . of running with Askew, he may be running against him. That is no doubt the reasb1i' he "just dropped by." Adams said that he and u~ e~ ..j,- W * Uncovering Early Life Styles, ST.

Eighty-five per cent of the oysters commercially har- vested are from the Apalach- icola area where red tides do not occur. In addition, Mr. Shields stressed that fish caught under normal procedures by sportsmen, even in red tide areas, are safe to eat. Recent DNR laboratory tests on fresh mullet show that'ath fish do not accumulate 'e toxin. However, the Depart- ment does not recommend that individuals collect float- ing, distressed or red tide- killed dead fish. For Further information contact 904-488-1686.

LETTERS to the EDITOR Dear Sir: For nearly a year now, since ,Watergate, we have been treated to an expose of sin and wrongdoing both pub-' lic and private, and, had it reviewed loudly and clearly for us in minute detail by the various media. On the other hand, I wonder how many of us are even aware, due to lack of publicity, that our so oft demeaned public servants have issued a call for prayer and reparation to God for those very offenses and any others for which we as a nation are guilty. Where are all the headlines, editorials and other ballyhoo now, when they might do some good good? And yet, it's true. On December 20, 1973, the Senate. of the United Stiaes ing Askew a landslide victory over former Gov. Claude Kirk. Following their inaugura- tion, Askew gave Adams a very meaningful job as head ,of the Department of Com- merce. Since that time how- ever, Adams has come under increasing fire for the way he handled his personal political finances and for using state employees to work on his farm, and Gov. Askew has shunted him aside. It may be that Askew would welcome 'the Adams candidacy in the' democratic primary for governor this year. A lot of people who might agree with Adams poli- tical philosophy would find it I did something Wednesday I very rarely do. I took the "afternoon off and went to Tallahassee with Sheriff Raymond Lawrence-- as a willing guest-not the other type. Ray- mond was going to Tallahassee to join with other Sheriff's about the state to oppose several bills which were coming up before the Legis- lature. To oppose the bills they got the key Legislators in a meeting room in one of the Tallahassee motels and made their wishes known. 'Then they fed them a huge seafood supper out' at the Fairgrounds that evening; which I helped to eat. Raymond wanted company to Tallahapsee and back so he took me, Tom Knox, Emmett Daniell and Lavernon Lanieir of Wewahitchka. With' Tom Knox and Lavernon Lanier in the car, Raymond, nor anyone else had time to get lonesome on the drive to the Capitol and back. Those two can keep a conversation going. We had the paper all made up, ready to go to the dark room at 1:00 p.m., so I wrote the heads for the stories and took off, leaving the crew to finish the paper. They seemed right glad to get rid of me. While we were waiting in line for- the fish supper out at the Fairgrounds Wednesday evening, we started talking about Christian. Emmett said it looked for certain as if he was going 'to be indicted. When he made the statement a tall elderly fellow standing beside us remarked, "Yes, they indicted him just a while ago on 19 counts." Somebody said, "It couldn't happen to a nicer fellow" and this tall elderly stranger countered with, "He is a fine fellow. I taught him freshman football at the University of Florida." No matter what the question, you can always get two opinions. Also, while in Tallahassee, Tom Adams introduced me to his child bride. All the newspapers are buzzing with the rumor that Adams may announce his candi- dacy for Governor in the near future. One of the favorite editorial subjects these days is speculating what this decision will be. You can say you are in the know about this subject, now. You can say you saw it in The Star first. Adams said at the fish fry last Wednesday to any individual who would listen that he is going to run for Governor. Now, when the announcement is made, you won't be surprised that Reubin has an oppo- nent the same person who many credit with electing Askew'. Adams has crossed many spots of rough water since that point in time four years ago. It remains, to' be seen whether Athe old vote magnet has gone dead or if it still attracts the voters in necessary numbers. passed a bill proposed by Senator Mark Hatfield, nam- ing Tuesday, April 30, 1974 as a National Day of Humilia- tion, Prayer and Fasting. The resolution calls on citizens to acknowledge their depend- ence on the power of God, to confess their sins, and stand before their Lord knowing that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon. Shouldn't we as Christians rise to the occasion? Here, is a chance for all of us who call ourselves Christians and hard to vote for a man who has been the recipient of so much favorable publicity. Askew could probably defeat Adams without much trouble in the Democratic primaries, thus leaving himself in a good position financially and in terms of party harmony to take on the Republican candi- date in the general election. When Reubin stops by, I'll ask him if that is his plan. who, perhaps, are wont to stand around and wring our hands at the terrible state of things and perhaps, speculate on the impending wrath of God, to join together and turn aside that wrath by our pray- ers and reparation. What a marvelous thing if from churches and homes all over this nation there were to arise a massive chorus of prayer imploring God's mercy, forgiveness and guid- ance for this great country of ours!

Reports Are Due Quarterly wage reportsand social security contributions for household workers are due by April 30, according to Robedit Latta, Social Security Representative for Gulf County. "People who pay a- house- hold worker $50 or more in cash wages in any three- month calendar quarter must send a report of the wages, along with the social security contribution, to the Internal Revenue Service within one month after the end of the quarter," Latta said. - Quarters are January-Feb- ruary-March, April-May- June, July-August, Septem-. ber, and October-November- December. Wage reports and social security contributions for the first quarter of 1974 are due by April 30. People who employ house- hold workers may file the wage report on a form avail- able at any Internal Revenue Service Office, "Employer's Quarterly Tax Return for Household Employees (for Social Security)." The 1974 social security contribution for a household employee is 5.85 per cent of covered wages.: and the employer pays a matching amount. "some household employers may prefer to pay the full 11.7 per cent contribu- tion," Latta said, "and this is also acceptable." Social security contribu- tions help build retirement, disability, survivors, and Medicare protection for workers and their families. People who employ household workers can get a free copy of the leaflet, "Social Secur- ity and Your Household Em- ployee,"' at Panama City social security office at 1316 Harrison Avenue, Latta said.

Ches- nut, recently appointed to operate the local office on a full-time basis. He is assisted by Miss Laverne Murray, a Neighborhood Youth Corps. enrolle. The adapted mobile home facility on Long Avenue offers area residents the full services of the State Employ- ment Service as a branch of the larger Panama City office. Application intake, job counseling, vocational apti- tude and interest testing, and job referral all are offered in the local center, designed to extend greater employment opportunity to rural counties. A micro-film viewer in the office allows a job-seeker to review all available listed jobs in the area from Perry to Pensacola, which are up- dated daily. Additionally, an applicant can consider posi- tions which are advertised state-wide. As a State Government service, there is no charge to either applicants or employers for any service. Chesnut stated that pre- sently there are few job list- ings. in the Gulf-Franklin area, due partially to a tight Services /, /b 4 ~-Usra~a(W~pl 1~611~ employment situation here. "However,'' he added, "local employers are begin- ning to use the Employment Service for its obvious bene- fits to them, and this should result in more local listings." When there is a job open- ing, an employer simply des- cribes the job and the type applicant he is seeking. The Employment Service then reviews the qualifications of the applicants, giving them standardized tests when necessary to determine levels of proficiency. The office then refers only the best qualified applicants to the employer for his review and selection. Natur- ally, the employer is not bound to accept any of the referrals made by the Employment Service but is supplied by the office with qualified applicants, which he might not get merely by placing a sign in the window for "Help Wanted". Local employers can call Mr. Ches- nut for further information at 229-1812. A special incentive to employers is the Work Incen- tive-Jobs Optional Program (WIN-JOP), designed to ease public assistance recipients into good full-time jobs. Under the program, an employer is reimbursed up to 50 per cent of the starting salary during the training IlI ii I ~1 ~BA v .... ~"~ --I II I' I I -~b Ir r 'II PAGE THREE L-PBI~ L I--lc~-sPIB~ -cL~' THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla.

You know the student who needs a little more time to mature. Who isn't quite ready to choose a career or go J to college. Who might benefit from a different kind of challenge. This is the youngster the Navy may be able to help. Miss Sanders told us, "I think the Navy offers Ba young man some very fine job training in many different areas. If he decides to go back into civilian life, he can convert the Navy-learned skill into a constructive civilian job:' But don't get the impression just anyone can get into the Navy. Our new standards are higher than ever, and every beginner still has his share of housekeeping chores. For your students who do qualify, there's a choice of over 70 skill areas. From air traffic control, computers and photography to jet mechanics, construction and machine shop. Miss Sanders also said, "I think that in the . Navy a young person,'male or female, is presented B with a fine opportunity to make the most of his or her potential and ability." We couldn't agree more. The Navy gives your students a head start on a lifelong and satisfying' career. Plus a chance !to be someone special, to ; I see the world, to make good friends and wonderful memories. If you want some help in answering your students' questions about the Navy, send for our booklet, "Navy Training/Civilian Careers." Just mail the attached postage-free card. Or call, toll-free, 800-841-8000, and ask for the Guidance Counselor Desk. Or contact your local Navy Recruiter. Recommend the Navy. Miss Sanders does.

The league is attempting to make some improvements at the ball park this year. A new backstop has been erected and new dug outs are under construction. Also, the bleachers are to be repaired and painted and a score board added. The city and its maintenance crew has hauled in sand and mixed it with the clay on the infield,, which should turn the rainwater to keep the infield from becom- ing boggy. d The new president of the league is Deomes Aplin, and he extends a welcome to the public to come out and enjoy all the games. The concession stand is open under the supervision of Mrs. Nancy Mock; . Games are scheduled to be played on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights. Each night, the. first game will begin at 7:00, and the second at 8:30. There will be only the '1.00 game on Thursday night. League standings will be announced each week in The Star.

Support the U.S. Senate call to prayer "The Congress hereby proclaims that April 30, 1974 be a National Day of Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer; and calls upon the people of our nation to humble ourselves as we see fit, before our Creator to acknowledge our final dependence upon Him and to repent of our national sins:' This is the first time the United States Senate has taken such a historic step since confirming President Abraham Lincoln's Call to Prayer in 1863. Here is God's Promise! "If my people who are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land" (II Chronicles 7:14). God wants to change the hearts of men and women. He wants to mend broken families. He wants to turn suspicion, hate, discord into love, forgiveness, har- mony. God wants to give our nation a new birth of faith and freedom! God is able-if we will turn from our- selves, look to Him and pray! On April 30 millions will be joining together to pray for change. Millions will be praying for a moral and spirit- ual awakening in our country and in the world. You can join them!

THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1974 Archie By Bol Gates Arrive for Installation at Dead Lakes Work should be completed within a month on the $350,000 installation to lower the water in the Dead Lakes at Wewahitchka, according to the con- tractor doing the job. The gates were scheduled to be completed last fall, but bad weather; shortages of material and labor have delayed the project time and again. Recently, the gates which would shut off the flow of water through the spillway were delivered and were nearly two inches too wide. They had to be sent back for re-making. Now the correct gates have been delivered and. should be installed within the next couple of weeks. The approach to the gates will then be dug and the Dead Lakes may be drawn down, when the Apalachicola River allows, exposing weeds and underwater growth to the sunlight. The exposure to the sun is supposed to kill the weeds and their roots, keeping the Lakes clear of the choking weeds which have been multiplying since the dam was built several years ago. The top photo shown here, shows the structure where the gates will be installed. This installation runs under the road which crosses the Lakes at til dam site. The gates will cover the huge holes shown. The lower photo shows the approach to the gates, which will be dug out after the gates are installed.. The project is being financed jointly by the Game aqd Fresh Water Fish Commission, the Department of Conservation and a loan from a Federal agency, which will be repaid with the sale of fishing permits for the lakes. Star photos NOTES from the Port St. Joe High School CARL GUILFORD, JR. Post-spring vacation school started on a good note with the super Shark baseball team bringing home the West Coast Conference Champion- ship for the second time in a row. The deciding victory was over Chipley, with a score of 16-0. Congratulations to the entire team, and espec- ially to Kenneth Weimorts for his grand slam. While the baseball team was playing games in Talla- hassee, the Quiz Bowl team was playing a game of "bat- tling brains" in Panama City. The Quiz Bowl competitors from St. Joe didn't do quite so well as our baseball team, however. We suffered a 245- 105 defeat at the hands of Bay High School's best, and believe me, they are good. Whether or not they are the best will be decided in a series of play-offs, which will be televised. Even though I keep telling myself that it's not winning or losing that counts, but how one plays the game, I keep coming back to the fact that we lost. There is one consola- tion: my Saturday schedule isn't going to be messed up anymore. But then, when you consider my Saturday sche- dule ... Seniors who are planning to continue their formal educa- tion have a lot to do before graduation. There are forms to fill out, colleges and uni- versities to contact, questions to be asked and answers to be found. It's like being caught in a tidal wave of papers! June fourth, that light at the end of the pro- verbial tunnel, it THE date for Seniors. A time machine would be nice right about now. Next week is Sadie Haw- kins week. Activities have been planned to celebrate this annual school event and, although nothing is final, there will probably be at least one unusual facet for every day of the week. The clincher is a dance to be held May 4, admission $1.50 per person, in the high school commons area. The dance will be sponsored by your friendly neighborhood Stu- dent Council. It will be from 8:00 p.m. to midnight, which is a heavy workout if you dance every dance. Many congratulations, Anita Mamoran, for achiev- ing national recognition of your poetry! This week is National Lib- rary Week. Everyone is en- couraged .to travel and exper- ience another life via books, films, cassettes, and all kinds of modern equipment avail- able through the library. I checked out a book once. I think I'll do it again just to celebrate National Library Week. The Senior .Class of Port St. Joe High School is sponsoring a dance Friday night, from 8:00 to 12:00 in the high school commons area. Admission will be $1.50 per person. All proceeds are go- ing for graduation expenses, which are out of this world. H.L. Cook Is Taken by Death Herbert Lee (Hub) Cook, 74, of Carrabelle,. died April 11 in Carrabelle.

Here is what I read: Abortion came to Germany before 1900. Euthanasia arrived by 1920. By 1938 motion and it passed unani- mously. Comm. Davis reported that Charles Gaskin, Architect, is now making plans for a build- ing to house the Civil Defense generator; that he has located 25,000 brick that match the brick at the Court- house and Jail that can be. purchased at this t4ne for the sum of $1,950.00, a savings of $500.00 over the regular price. He recommended that the County purchase these brick because they will be needed in the new building; that future delivery of special order brick will require six to eight months delivery. After discussion and being advised that brick people will not bid to sell to counties because of the great back-log of orders, there was a motion by Comm. Graham, seconded by Comm.

Later they put to death children who were bed- wetters, who had misshaped ears, learning disabilities, etc. Later the old age homes were cleaned out. Private homes were invaded and elderly people who were get- ting a little forgetful were taken away. All the WWI amputees were also done away with. Then Hitler took over the gas-chambers. He killed off all the Gypsies on the Ger- man countryside. And more than six million Jews. The U.S.A. sat in judgment over the Germans at the Nuremberg Trials. A con- demned and anguished Nazi judge said, "I never knew it would come to this". The American judge answered simply, "It came to this the first time you condemned an innocent life." Abortion came to Ger- many. Now it is here. Do we turn back? Or what country will sit over us at the Wash- ington Trials? But do not worry. By then they will have done away with you.
