OUR OPINION
Ability Is What Counts
The Christopher News Note* reports the following story:
In the fall of IMS, s young paraplegic veteran who had also
lost both hands came into the personnel office of Bankers
Trust Company in New York. The personnel officer saw
him as "a very sharp young (ellow who could really do a job
in the bank.” He was hired.
Following that eiperience, the personnel officer reasoned
"there must be other disabled people looking for Jobs who
are perfectly capable of performing clerical functions. And
we started from that point to seek them out.”
Today, Bankers Trust, with a total work force of 10,000
has 1,500 Vietnam veterans on Its payroll. More than 150 of
them are disabled, with a disability rating of 50 percent or
more. They have proven to be highly satisfactory workers.
It is estimated that there are more than 200,000 veterans
incapacitated by the Vietnam War who are not working.
What can you do? The Christophers suggest that you do some
checking: what is your church or community organisation doing
to help find jobs for disabled veterans who can work? Do you
belong to a veteran’s organisation? Does your boss, supervi-
sor or foreman know of the job-related abilities of handicapped
persons?.If you want to know more, write to Harold Russell,
C-O The President’s Committee on the Employment of the
Handicapped, Washington, D.C. 20210. Disabled veterans have
a lot to offer!

From The Uvina Bible
And they celebrated the
Feast of Tabernacles as
prescribed in the laws of
Moses, sacrificing the*
burnt offerings specified
for each day of the feast.
They also offered the spe-
cial sacrifices required for
the Sabbaths, the new
moon celebrations, and the
other regular annual feasts
of the Lord. Voluntary of-
ferings of the people were
also sacrificed. It was on
the fifteenth day of Sep-
tember that the priests be-
gan sacrificing the burnt
offerings to the Lord.
(This was before they be-
gan building the founda-
tion of the Temple.)

The Opium Stockpile
by Jack Anderson
(Copyright, 1*73. by Uaited rooturo Syndicate. Inc.)
WASHINGTON - The
federal government, believe
it or not, is America’s biggest
opium trafficker. The
authorities are quietly plan-
ning to unload hundreds of
tons of the addictive drug
from the secret hiding places
beside the gold at Fort Knox
and elsewhere.
Actually, the government
opium peddling is all on the
up and up. Besides being the
source of the killer drug
heroin, opium is also refined
into the useful pain-killers
morphine and codeine. The
United States began building
up an opium stockpile after
World War II.
Atithe beginning of this
year, there were 634 tons of
opium in the stockpile,
mostly refined into opium
gum, morphine sulphate and
codeine. Simultaneously, a
bad opium crop in India cre-
ated a codeine and morphine
shortage.
Thus, the United States
decided a good deal of the
federal opium stash could be
sold off for medical purposes
and Congress is now con-
sidering approval of the sale
to private industry.
Meanwhile according to
classified information from
the Justice Department, the
opium is under 24-hour guard
at Fort Knox (its derivatives
are worth more than gold), at
West Point (well away from
any curious cadets) and at a
naval supply depot in New
Jersey, among other sites.
The precautions by the
federal government are wise:
A huge heroin cache in the
custody of the New York
police was recently stolen
from under their noses by
big-league drug traffickers.
Bebe’a Bridge: Charles G.
(Bebe) Rebozo, President Nix-
on’s best friend, is planning to
develop an island near Key
Biscayne that has long been a
point of controversy.
The teardrop-shaped is-
land, called Fisher’s, is lo-
cated between the southern
tip of Miami Beach and
Virgina Key, an adjunct to
Key Biscayne. For years.
Rebozo and other Fisher's Is-
land. Inc., stockholders have
sought construction of a
causeway to provide access
to their property. Each at-
tempt has been blocked by
angry citizens.

voice) You know, really, they
take a lot of heat. So I told
Morton, I told him, I said,
Rog, you go out there and
make the announcement. But
I, of course, made the deci-
sion, (Nixon chuckles). But
give him the credit.”
Morton got the credit, but
now Nixon is getting the
headaches. The big oil com-
panies are trying to show the
Morton decree was illegal, in
part because Nixon, not Mor-
ion, really ordered it. And the
tape could become a vital
part of their arguments.
We have now learned,
however, that Rebozo and his
fellow investors have com-
missioned an Architectural
firm to draw up plans for an
urban community on
Fisher’s.
Under the directions given
Simonds and Simonds, Pitto-
burgh architects who
specialize in environmental
design, the island will have
no circulating vehicles other
than buses and golf carts.
John Simonds of the firm
admitted to us that, at
Rebozo’s orders, the planning
is well under way and a
preliminary rendering will
be completed by the end of
the year. :'...... >■•••• • • •• •-* -
The few people who work
on the island were surprised
when we asked them about
development of the sandspit,
which is largely covered
with pine. Since local
authorities have been reluc-
tant to build the causeway to
the island, the success of the
venture thus may depend on
whether the Nixon adminis-
tration lends the Rebozo
group a federal helping hand
with the causeway construc-
tion.
Nixon Bugged: President
Nixon, the nation’s most
famous recorder of private
conversations, was himself
secretly recorded by a
California editor two years
ago in an embarrassing con-
versation.
At the time. Interior Secre-
tary Rogers Morton had an-
nounced proudly that he per-
sonally had decided to ban
two new oil rigs from the
pollution-plagued Santa Bar-
bara channel. Under federal
court decisions, it is the in-
terior secretary, and no one
else, who can decide on such
bans.
But at a press reception,
Santa Barbara News-Press
editor Paul Veblen began to
question Nixon searchingly
about who really ordered the
ban on the rig platforms. Nix-
on, astonishingly, claimed he.
not Morton, did it. Unknown
to the President, Veblen’s
pocket tape recorder was
producing this verbatim
record of Nixon’s admission:
“Oh, we had him (Morton)
make the announcement. But
I made the decision. 1 made

I’d rather be kissed
would not make a girl feel
romantically responsive!
“Why, I can't even enjoy a
soda if I am seated across the
table from such a repulsive,
mass of hair.”
Theae vague, subconscious
“feeling tones" help explain
why most Americans can’t
force themselves to eat dog
meat though the Philippine
natives relish such as a decided
delicacy.
To show the grades of feeling
tone, suppose you were offered
two bowls of soup and had to eat
one.
Which would you chooee if a
fly were swimming atop the
soup in the first bowl and a
honeybee in the other?
Most people would shun the
fly and select the honeybee.
If doctors and other
executives want to wear a
mustache, they should imitate
the narrow, closely cropped
British general's mustache.
For it doesn’t hide the upper
lip. Bushy mustaches also in-
terfere with our understanding
of a person’s speech.
Moreover, a drooping
mustache suggests
sluggishness and defeat, in-
stead of snap, zip and executive
prestige.
A narrow straight line
mustache, however, offsets the
natural droop of the Upo, thus
making your face appear far
more cheerful and alert.
And you waitresses should
wear hair nets or a pony tail to
keep your straggling locks from
swishing in the food you bring to
your patrons!
