Dear Mr. Crouse,
I want to thank you very
much for the nice picture you
took of our house, last week.
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.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Dwight Bergh

Benevolence Destroys Freedom
(From the San Diego Union)
As a Democratic majority party
which controlled a runaway Congress
crows jubilantly about the accomp
lishments of the recently adjourned
session it would do well to give
thought to the words of Plutarch.
“The real destroyer of the liberties
of the people is he who spreads among
them bounties, donations and bene
fits,” the ancient Greek essayist
wrote.
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,

our welfare, our medical needs, our

our taxes.
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.

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?"
