Not one word of censure for the drunk driver or for the careless speeder or the irrisponsible road- hog. What makes the picture doubly sorry is the fact that the main purpose of the whole uproar is to detract attention of election y e -r voters from the sanguinary wretchedness of a no-win war in Vietnam , where the lives and limbs of thousands of American boys are being traded for what butcher Lodge et al consider to be the most effective method of accommodating the good graces of Moscow and Peking Communists, whose pleasure we must protect to ourselves at a ll costs in blood and lucre. IN T E G R IT Y DIES TOO RAPIDLY - When honesty becomes a fixed habit, you have integrity. You might say, integrity is experienced honesty. When integrity is a distinguishable fea ture of one's character, one's character is adjudged as good. Most of us would claim honesty. But only when others recognise that honesty is the criterion of our words, our deeds, and our dealings, have we established our integrity. A good banker is more interested in the integrity of a loan applicant than in the applicant's financial statement. It is possible to rig a financial statement, but the banker knows a man of integrity won't do it. We see nothing wrong in a man's desire for a hundred dollars or five thousand dollars or a m illion dollars. Nor do we go along with the conclusion of many that the m illionaire must ipso facto be dishonest. But there is quite a difference between mere legal honesty and unselfish honesty. One may be scrupulously careful to be legally honest without one iota of interest whether his deal ings bring harmful effects upon someone else. In our book H»y is dishonesty. The candid banker sees in it a fatal lack of integ rity . We appreciate the veracity of even that one who is driven to honesty through fear for the consequences of dishonesty. — ------ lcal only 1U, ule consequences ot dishonesty. But we highly value the honesty of one whose integrity is an inn«». characteristic A A A I I r SMALL BUSINESS” •>fl H it-in R ig h t, L e ft O r M id d le Watching the television pro gram , “Testing: Right, Left or the M idd le," we couldn’t help but wonder if the moderators were talking about parting hair or driving down the freew ay. They surely weren’t talking about politics. No one could be that fa r off in assessing the position of The Right. The test indicated that if a person is against civil righto, he is a conservative. The rights of the individual ia the very backbone of The Right. But, like most of our ivory lower “ political analysts,” these confused iiw indi entertainers have confuami li- vidual rights w ith group rights. Conservatives believe in the civil rights of the individual, was born in integrity of purpose. Not many yean from the era in as opposed to the other view of which America crystalized into a nation of people, the integrity civil rights for groups. of America's promise of freedom began to stir the highest aspira They believe that these rights tions of human befogs everywhere and they came to otrr shores can be acquired only when the from every land, particularly those oppressed trader European tyran individual becomes important. And they believe that when nies. For many decades we assimilated them and because they civil rights are considered on America is people. America is a peculiar people. America quickly learned to love their role of participation in history's freedom state, we welded into a traditional integrity that became of American history and w illing to frankly contem plate the consen sus of world opinion, with due consideration for our contacts in every direction across the globe, w ill deny that our image has changed. And it is only redundant to add that it has changed for the worse, much worse. To remind us that we have always been afflicted with dishonest individuals in every walk of American life is but to strengthen our above description of the building of American integrity. The heart of America, composed of the bulk of purposeful individuals, car ved an image of integrity in spite of the leech minority. Can it be that the contriving, scheming heretics of Americanism have wormed themselves into leadership of our beloved land, popularized ■ group basis, the rights of the individual usually take a beating somewhere along the line. Take a look at the recent "c iv il rights" bill. The employer lost his right to hire whomever he wanted, the property owner lost his right to use his property as he saw fit, and each American lost his right to a republican form of government when the federal government u s u r p e d state's rights. All because civil rights was considered on a group basis. Those on the Right believe in lessening government oppression on the individual and in re- requiring the individual to earn his place in a competitive so ciety. To insinuate that conserva tives don’t believe in civil rights is to admit the swallowing of political clap-trap thrown out for the gullible by self-serving liberal politicians.

For no longer does American society disclaim individual or group abortion, of high moral codes that were innate in early Am erica. To the contrary, those in ascendency, together with those who so aspire, hold In lofty distain those of us who dare to lament the a c- commodation of uninhibited prurience, the license of dishonesty by expedience, and the practice of anarchy a , freedom. Fingers of room are pointed at us for what they label as our intransigence and unwilllngnen to accept change.

Y et to a large segment of America today It ha, become perfectly Justifiable that nearly h alf of those vow, are taken with croutd fingers. The resulting unfaithfulness is Still dishonest whether we admit It or not. A thousand other so c ia l contacts have fort a ll relation to ethical standards because the Individual', declaration of Independence from spiritual res- tralnt has established for him an amoral freedom which was of course unknown to our forefather, who thought God was the Author Ol law IBW and ana order. o rd e r, of m e a n in g the m e code u x - e was w as e e ver v e r a dishonest u n v u c i i it u u I f I breaking is s d ll dishonest, whether or not our individual opinions have changer In our ecooomic life we have always had crooked men in bust- ness.

During a business trip out of twvn, my wife le ft her car par ked on the street In front of our house as we had Just had a load of wood delivered in our drive way.

The policeman, while probably checking the area for crim e to ok the tim e to ticket our car for being parked In the wrong direction. Its certainly reassuring to know that there is so little crime in the area that the po lice can devote so much of their tim e to searching the residental neighborhoods for local residents cars parked In the wrong direction. I might add that we live on a dead end street and no traffic can pass this point. I don't mind paying a traffic violation when I have it com ing, but I certainly didn't ex pect to get a ticket for parking in front of my own home.
