All Hail the Great Society
If we needed to reinforce our feel
ings about the (¡real Society- which
we don’t there were signs abundant
this week.
Tuesday’s Oregonian, for instance,
carried two stories, side by side, on
the front page.
One told how the cost of living
had hit another all-time high. The
other told how stock prices continued
their frightening plunge; millions
more were being lost.
If you went inside, there were
stories on the deep recession in the
lumber building trades industry here
in Oregon. You also could read a
dozen scattered articles on our Viet-
Namese adventure.
We wonder just how much more
Great Society "prosperity" the coun
try can stand.

George, both attended the school. Pictured are, left to right, first row: Glen Andre,

School Picture
Stirs Memories
The picture of the old Bull
Run school should revive many
memories for «omeofour read
ers. Mrs. Bickford, who was
kind enough to send the photo
graph, said it is too bad the
classic water pail and dipper
doesn’t show but it is just in
side the door on the left side
of the hall.
Mrs. Bickford explained the
water was carried from the
head of a «pring that was right
across the road in Gibon’s
pasture and there were always
plenty of volunteers for the
ta«k — during school hours —
but not during rece«s or lunch
period.
She recalled the homemade
double de«ks and seat« inside
the building which were made
by the fathers of the children
who attended the one room
school when it first opened.
Some of the pupils in the pic
ture claimed the right to occupy
certain seat« because they had
been made by their grandfath
ers.
She remembers the black
board painted acro«s the front
of the room, but says her most

Plato »aid, "W* live not from pleasure Io pleasure but from
wont to want." Mon'» pleasures and wants were of course less
then than we demand today. Moil of us have plenty pleasures.
Yet, at in Plato'» time, we too hove ever increasing wants. The
old toying, "The more we have, the more we want", applies
to all of ui in one way or another. It holds true in every strata
of »ociety, no matter how much or how little any »egment may
have.
There always ho« been and always will be an imbalance
between people in pleasure« and want«. For example, a wit
once said, "The average school teacher makes mor* money in
o year than a professional athlete makes in a whole week."
Right or wrong, this is reality. Baiically—and this is too often
disregarded—whatever problems face people in pleasures and
wants, ore individual problems. The «o-called underprivileged
con never compel; they can only hope the more privileged will
help them achieve what they have achieved. Conscience and
character control the giving or refusal of help. And this too to
° penonol matter for which we as individuals will be answer
able, not to man, but to God . . .
