Enjoy Lions Indian School Party
Needlecrait
This is, at least, according to
Russian composer Anatoli Novi
kow, a Stalin prize winner.
In a letter to Austrian friends,
Novikov claimed kid dreams in
the USSR are entirely different
from those of children in the USA.
Novikov said a recent poll re
vealed that most of the dreams of
Russian kids are about their fut
ure "peaceful" jobs.
American kids, he charged,
dream only of gun-blazing west
ern heroes and super A-bombs for
the destruction of foreign countries.

The Salem Lions club entertained Chemawa Indian school stu
dents with 90: minutes of 90-laughs-a-minute entertainment Wed
'nesday night- And it would be hard to say whether the students or
' the participating Lions had the best time.
The party was a holiday highlight for 609 youngsters who won't
"be going home for Christmas. They watched starry-eyed while boys
and girls from Salem tap-danced
in bangled costumes and screamed
with delight at the slapstick buf
foonery of a quartet of clowns.
They also applauded generously
the presentation of John Hale,
Salem magician, and the singing
of Mesdames Myron Eaton, John
Goffrier and Kessley Talley.
Santa Well Received
And they gave a terrific recep
tion to Santa Claus (Tom Pome
roy) who arrived with bulging
bags of treats for all.
But the show-stoppers were
those zany clowns, George Dilts,
John Klapp, John Macy and Robert
Davidison, who wouldn't let Mas
ter of Ceremonies Leo Reimann
get a word in edgewise. Dressed
in lion and clown costumes they
cavorted all over the Chemawa
school auditorium and kept the
youngsters in an uproar.
Santa Claus got around for a
word with all the six- and seven-year-olds.
He was assisted in
passing out treats by Ed Randle
and Dr. F. D. Volgt
Said Best Party
As the students marched out of
the auditorium, one school offi
cial said, "I belive this was the
best party the Lions club has ever
staged at Chemawa."
Chemawa school does not have
Christmas vacation because
most of its students live so far
away. Last night's program open
ed a round Of special events, how
ever, that includes Christmas Eve
parties in each of the five dormitories.
Russell Kelley, superintendent
of Chemawa school, said that most
students received gifts from rela
tives. And the school sees to it
that each youngster receives at
least one gift plus a bag of sweets
on- Christmas.

Electric Workers
Have Busy Future
CLEVELAND-(INS)-A spokes
man for the electric utility industry-
forecasts a busy future for
thousands of electrical workers
throughout the nation.
Ray T. Timmons, a manufactur
ing manager for the Westinghouse
Electric Corp., told a group in
Cleveland recently that startling
Increases in the use of electrical
appliances coupled with a long
range expansion program indicate
a period of growing prosperity
for the industry.
"We feel that it can be conserv
atively forecast that by 1965 the
utility industry will have to gen
erate more than twice as much
power as it does now to meet the
needs of its customers."

CAPITALI
Nothing is superior except by comparison
SM
WHEN we compare the conditions of nations and people in and-capltatistlc
countries wkh the security, prosperity, happiness and well-being of our
people under United States capitalism, we appreciate our privilege of living
la a capitalistic, democratic country.
The basic principle of the free, capitalistic system which we have developed
in our country affords opportunity to the individual who is willing to use his
talents to the extent of his ability and desire to produce to accumulate some
thing for investment in a home, a farm, in savings accounts, bonds and other
securities, life insurance, the education of his children, and comforts of life
and become a capitalist.
The following facts give us a deep appreciadon of what capitalism has
done and is doing for our country and its people.
Private capital in the form of taxes and purchases of United States Govern
ment Bonds made it possible for us to spend three hundred thirty billion dollars
in carrying out our part of the program in winning World War II. This, of
course, is unimportant when we consider the loss of life and permanent and
partial disability which our youth sustained and which cannot be measured in
dollars.
Our participation in World War II has left us today with a national debt
of two hundred fifty-seven billion dollars, but on the credit side we find that
our annual national income, at the current rate, is equal to 90 of our total
national debt. Of this total national debt, thirty-nine billion dollars are in
treasury obligations owned by Government agencies, so our net debt is slightly
over two hundred eighteen billion dollars.
The United States free enterprise business system is operating at its highest
level, furnishing employment to sixty-two million people at the highest hourly
and weekly earnings ever recorded. Stockholders and corporations, after paying
the highest peacetime taxes in the post-war years, have bad the highest net aver
age earnings in history from their investment.
Our farmers had cash income from marketing last year amounting to
twenty-seven billion five hundred million dollars, the highest oo record.
Total farm assets of our country amount to slightly more than one hundred
twenty-seven billion dollars, against which there is an indebtedness of only
twelve billion four hundred million dollars. Thus our farmers have ownership
equity of over 90 per cent In their farms. ,
In non-farm homes, counting apartment buildings with four or less fami
lies, and all valued at a total of two hundred billion dollars, our home owners
have an equity of one hundred fifty-eight billion dollars a substantial owner
ship of 79 per cent.
Therefore, as a result of the opportunity provided by our free-enterprise
capitalistic system, the people of our nation have a free and clear ownership in
their homes and farms of 83.4 per cent.
Our people have savings of more than one hundred thirty-six billion dol
lars in government bonds and savings accounts.
An additional ninety-seven billion dollars are oo deposit in commercial
bank accounts.
Our men and women have a cash iavestmeac of sixty billion dollars am
A high percentage of exar working people awe provided with MMtpSoy

people in the lower income brackets.
The United Sea tea, with aUy tlx pee oust of tfce world
even per cent of its land area, wader ks djemocratk, cap a Katie i
World War II, produced forty-aeve per cent a the world's
goods, but what is more important, sunety per cent of that productiosi
consumed within our own borders. Today we are producing over fifty per cent
of the world's manufactured goods, of which a substantial percentage Is tot
other countries.
Capitalism is backing freedom of worship and providing Increasing cduca
donal opportunities by constantly giving snore and snore support so tto twa
things upon which our democratic, cultural dviaixacioa depends epiri reed and
educational values.
We have a permanent investment in churches and schools of cighacesi bil
lion five hundred million dollars and arc spending annually eight btlUon dollars
or religious and educational purpose.
Membership in the churches is increasing at a aanch faster rase snan the
Increase in the population, and in our Sunday Schools at an even greaser rata.
In the past thirty years, elementary school enrollment has tncraaesj 13.)
per cent, high school enrollment 146.1 per cent and college and anivexaky en
col lment 331.6 per cent
Our public school expenditures per pupil enrolled have gone p from
4S.02 in 1920 to $132.06 in 1947, or 173.0 per cent
Since 1920 the population of our country has increased 43 per cent and the
investment in school and college equipment has increased 371 per rent
Since the beginning of our industrial and soenrific developcxkCM La the
early 1800's, the capitalistic system, due to individual freedom, initiative and
ingenuity, has given the world more of the comforts and conveniences of life
than mankind had received in the previous 3000 years of civilization.
Under this system our people as a whole arc happy and united, are increas
ing their capital and enjoying a fuller spiritual, cultural and material life.
Today our scientific and industrial knowledge and experience in the vari
ous fields of peaceful activity are open to the rest of the world, and in this
respect we have Joined with other like-minded nations in contributing to the
technical assistance program of the United Nations.
No nation, no individual, bo venture, no private or public institution, a
program for the welfare of people can progress without capital.
k is each Individual's duty so contribute ao the preservation, protection
and knprovement of our democratic civilization on a basis which is sound and
fair to all our people,
