We had many, many comments about it. If your sales went up about a dozen copies, It was because of me. I sent copies of the picture to my family end friends back in New York. Again, many thanks.

So it was with the first session of the S9th Congress. If judged on the volume of legislation alone, the ses sion might be called “the greatest in American history" as suggested by President Johnson. But volume cannot be equaled with genuine accomplishment. Effect of the legislation on the lives, attitudes and freedom of the American people and the structural changes in the American concept of minimum essen tial government are more valid cri teria. In this respect, there is no question that the recently-ended session will have a more profound effect on our way of life than even the 63rd Con gress which set in motion the New- Freedom of Woodrow Wilson or the 73rd which initiated the New Deal of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The emerging picture of the so- called Great Society shows unprece dented federal spending of $119.3 bil lion, unprecedented federal intrusion into American lives and state rights, and poor one-party runaway legisla tion that is perhaps without a paral lel in U.S. history. Now the federal government will have more control of our education, Commissioner Stan Skoko of Clackamas county this week an nounced acceptance of an invita tion from Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey to attend a County Officials Conference in Wash ington, D. C„ Jan. 19-20. being held in conjunction with the Na tional Association of Counties. The purpose of the two-day session is to acquaint county officers with various federal grant-in-aid programs and how these programs may be utilized x> the benefit of the counties. Only counties with a popula tion of 100,000 and over will be represented at this session, the first in a series the Vice President Intends having with Forms ARE AVAILABLE HERE !

Much of the legislation is inimical to the Republican form of govern ment we have known and further con stricts our individual freedoms. Much of it was structurally bad legislation, a point of implicit in the remarks of Sen. Mike Mansfield, Democrat majority leader. Calling for a slowdown in volume at the next session. Sen. Mansfield said it is necessary to bring about “the perfec tion. the elaboration and the refine ment of basic legislation ... a num ber of gaps and any number of rough edges, over-extensions and overlaps,” exist. Passing imperfect bills knowingly in a blind race for a runaway record is indeed a poor way to legislate. This alone should serve as an incentive for serious-minded persons to support Republicans in 1966 to give Congress checks and balances so urgently needed. Special tribute is due Sen. Everett Dirksen, Republican minority leader, without whom the runaway Congress would have been completely uncurbed. Although he was ailing and badly outnumbered, Dirksen showed he has no parliamentary peer in Congres. Hopefully, Sen. Dirksen and other Republicans may soon get the num bers to stem the tide of inflationary, thoughtless legislation and runaway domination of Congress by one party. For the sake of nation it cannot come too soon.

Sunday School Morning Wórihip Young People's £ »1.50 VALUE 100 1001 At the dinner table the other night my little boy, Richard, who is in the third grade, was telling us about the fight that day on the school grounds he was in. Daddy kept asking him if he was supposed to be fight ing at school and he continued to evade the question when Mother told him to ask Daddy if he got into fights at that age. So, naturally the son coun- tered and Daddy replied: “I just hit them with my purse!" This started a round of giggles, except for Richard, who wanted to know what that meant. Now that recalls the story of the little fellow who came home sobbing to his mother one afternoon after school with clothes all tattered and torn. "What happened to you," the mother tenderly Inquired of the lad. He replied, that some of the big bullies at school had called him "a sissy" and proceeded to beat him up. "Well, what did you do?" the mother queried. The youngster re torted, "I hit them with my purse and rani" One newsman asked him how many years he felt it would take to build ML Hood Community College.
