Naturally people complicate the process of living no end. They In- tervene and interfere with every- thing; whatever one does people have an opinion about it Which they express and some are so lacking in respect for their fellow humans that they try to do some thing about such things. Except for those who can go off into the wfxxls and get enjoy ment from contemplation of the trees, the birds and the fish, peo ple are the greatest source of pleasure for most of us. Some- times we take them seriously and thus lose the pleasure we might derive. 'Phis is a particular habit of the young. The other day In a park a great crowd of people was watching the monkeys, standing hours on end while the monkeys ran and jumped and cuffed one another about. To a few it seemed more fun to watch the people watch t'he monkeys. People are funnier than monkeys because they are more expressive; they do not de pend entirely on the physical body as a means of giving away their thoughts. They ure more complicated. People are always working at something. They’ll save things for years only to find that they don’t need them or not so many of them. They are restless and are therefore engaged in many different activities. They make speeches and, invented the tele phone, the telegraph the radio because a megaphone wouldn't carry their voices far enough. They try to wear different clothes so they will be noticed and not too different so they won’t lie no ticed too much.

It debated the problems of the na tion and voted on them with as much national Interest as can be expected In a republic. For us, we give it a passing mark. PEOPLE NEW SPAPER A is^ h thing about people is~lhat they take themselves seriously. Nearly every one of them has a mission, something they must do to fulfill sonie great purpose. This probab- ly adds to their opinion of them selves to be so attached to big affairs because most of them do it. Truly, they are very interesting. No wonder one of them wrote years ago that “ the proper study of mankind is man . No one is ever entirely satis fied with the works of a congress, or of small committees, either, for that matter. Congress Is a com mittee, a committee of Individuals elected In two ways from all over the nation to make the rules the remainder of us abide by. Neither the east, nor the west or south, got everything it want ed. Neither did lulx>r or farmers or business. That is the way it al ways comes out and, in fact, that Is the way it ought to be. It is plain that this administra tion is going to do wlhat it said it would do. it Is going to stabilize the nation’s economy. That means the end of the Inflation and the continued weakening of the dol lar. It is not going to swing either to the right or the left far enough for either side to dheer very lust ily. Congress made some very size able cuts In appropriations and started the nation toward a bal anced budget— and high time. Biggest cut was made In national defense and even these are not great except In dollars. Percentage wise they were small and when the money appropriated Is added to the sums heretofore appropri ated and not yet spent, they will be ample. Foreign aid wits cut and recent events Indicate that Euro- pean nations are tired of a diet of dollars, perhaps we stayed with them too long. A start was made on a new farm program. Wheat farmers may not like It although they know that they cannot keep on growing wheat so far above de mand as has been the case. They will eventually reduce production Dr. Frank D.
