ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS
Despite the scientific progress made in the past twenty
to thirty years, man has not been able to improve on the art
of living peacefully together in two thousand years; we
just have not used it. In our own community, it is a ran'
thing when we can get more than four or five jM>ople in
agreement on any one thing and it's a near miracle when
about ninety jier cent of the people agree to cooperate on
any community project as we did two or three years ago
when the community hospital idea was started, yet the hos
pital idea shows what can be done when we set our mind to
join in and cooperate.
On other things that could and should have been done
such as coojierating to build a better community to live in
we have made some pretty miserable failures, but failures
that we could still live down, if we have the will to do it. In
a great number of opportunities we have had, we can't dis
miss the opportunity with the question, “What's in it for
me,” and refuse to coojverate unless it’s clearly shown that
there are a few nickels in it for those who want to cooperate.
Community assets can not always be exacted to bring a fi
nancial return to those who seek and work for this asset.
There are numerous individuals who donate much of
their time to the promotion of community, civic and city af
fairs. It’s the price we pay for better places to live and for a
democratic form of government which we live under.
Dictators don't want and don't need the help of the
individual groups. The individual can be relieved of a lot of
responsibility and bother if he will leave civic and govern
ment affairs up to one or two people, but when he does he
also runs the risk of surrendering his right to participate
in government or community affairs.
MORE MEAT
Writing in Country Gentleman. Fred Bailey- says, “Work
is to start next spring on one of the largest reforestation
and revegetation programs ever undertaken by the Forest
Service. It is to include 4,000,000 acres of burned and cut-
over forest land and 83,000.000 acres of range land in need
of reseeding . . . Forest Service officials estimate the pro
gram, when completed, will enable the range lands to handle
five to 10 times as many’ livestock as at present.”
It is forecast that the nation’s livestock population will
increase very substantially during the next few years. Va
rious reasons are responsible. One is our large supply of feed
grains and grasses—produce which in many instances would
be wasted entirely unless used for animal husbandry. An
other is that meat animals can be raised on either a small or
large scale almost anywhere.

Among our local needs which have been often spoken of
is the need for a highway maintenance station in this com
munity. Such a station would be accessible to some of the
worst parts of the 99 highway, which covers some 2,000
miles along the west coast country.
According to the Oregon Business and Tax Review, the

Schools, especially high schools,
may be interested in knowing
about a chart which has recently
been produced by the Bureau of
I-a nd Management of the Depart
ment of Interior. This chart shows
clearly and graphically, the dis
tribution of the land of the United
States how it was distributed,
when it was parcelled out, and by
what act of Congress. Tlx- data is
complete from the beginning of
our government under the Consti
tution down to date. One of these
charts can be obtained either by
writing me or directly to the i
bureau.
Congressman John Taber of
New York, former chairman of
the house appropriations commit
tee in the 80th Congress, points
out that the budget amount re
quested by the president is ac
tually nearly $51 billions. Mr. Ta
ber figures it this way: "If you
add the new appropriations that
he is asking for, including the con
tract authorizations, the defi
ciency which this Congress is
asked to provide, the new authori
zations which this Congress is
asked to provide and the items
provided for in new legislation
carrying an over-all picture of
what the president is asking the
Congress to give him in this ses
sion, you get a total of $50,833,-
000,000.”
The cash requests, he says, are
really $9 billion more than the'
cash provided by the extravagant [
first session of this 81st Congress.
