"You drive a hard bargain, Smedley. But, you win. You

you'll take a $10.00 rawe, no questions asked."

As a country we are in the
world wide market with our
goods and services with consid
erable success as long as we
give our customers dollars in
grants and loans to pay tor
them. To provide those dollars
without taxing ourselves for
them we resort to deficit spend
ing arid our national flebt grows
rapiuly with a corresponding
burden of interest charges. To
escape the pressure of our debt
and operating costs, some of the
big boys have gone to foreign
countries with their dollars and
bought Into enterprises there to
such an extent foreign reserves
haw more dollars than they
net vi-h th rr,lv wav thev

Little Flood Stories

Marjory Brandhagen was
alone at home at 260 South
Mfcin (iust across from the
swimming pool) when she heard
the High Water alert She grab
ber her coat and purse to go
out the fornt door just in time
to see the wall of water com
ing around the swimming pool
towards her. She slammed the
door and braced herself against
it. The door panels broke
through and she ran to go out
the back door. Here the water
was splashing high over her
neighbor's house, the McDaniels.
She jumped upon the kitchen
counter right by the door and
for some reason unknown to her
self, she held the back door op
en with her feet The debris
came in th? front door and went
out through the back door. The
house shivered and shook as the
heavier pieces banked against
the house.
The basement apartment
where FHwayne Bergstrom lived
was filled level full with water
and silt
Know by Experience
Marcel Jones says he didnt
need an "alert". Ee knew as
soon as he saw that downpour
of ram, that we were m ior a
flood. He and Darrel Hams ran
down to the pasture ana stan-
; ed carrying irrigation pipe to
j high ground. They saved a lot
of it They were at the upper
; pond working at the pump when
j they saw the sheep and cattle
running for high ground and
'they started running, too. They
j ha vent counted the shee-p btrt
j they dont think they lost any.
i There were 22 head of cattle
'who plowed right through the
fence to saiety.
The garage on the other place
