Living Within Our Means It has been well said that no one escapes the impact A inflation, and this poes tor political officeholders, as well as everyone else. The lot of the successful political candidate today is jetting increasingly difficult. The freewheeling ad vocates of bigger and blgjjer government, whether they re alize it or not, an? pulling their house down on their heads. Call it a taxpayers' revolt or anything else you wish, as inflation forces the cost of government up, political lead ers must go to the people for more taxe- taxes that sooner or later become uncoliectable. Then, the structure of govern ment begins to collapse, and the ultimate bill for inflation comes due with crushing force. In some countries at such a time, officeholders are lucky to escape with their lives. In n nation like the U. S.. where voters still retain the right to "turn the rascals out", the big government spenders will face nothing more painful than packing their suitcases. Currently, their wise course would be to back up the efforts of those who believe in government living within Its means and curbing extravagant spending programs at every opportunity. Undermining the Family Farm All kinds of ways are being studied to stem the migra tion of people from rural areas to the cities. The National Association of Wheat Growers has suggested a partial reme dy "overhaul our inheritance and gift tax laws." The Association declared that. "After more than 30 years of inflation and 20 years of declining prices the family farm concept has been radically changed and threatened . . . In heritance taxes . . . impose a tax, in many cases, greater than the ability of the farm to pay and support the family. Main training the family farm has many political, economic and social implications which affect the nation." Family farms and private land ownership are the back bone of U. S. agriculture. Ruthless application of the Inher itance tax can easily become a form of confiscation of the family farm. Taxation that forces redistribution of land has no place in the United States. In other countries, this Is called revolution. The Right to Keep & Dear Arms (From GUNS & AMMO Magazine) The principles which form the foundation of the sports man's life style are, and rightly so, subject to periodic review and analysis. Every' thinking sportsman caught in the crush of "life today" must, especially If he is a parent, compare the relevance of the socialmoraleconomic factors which have served him in the past with the demands which will be made upon him and his children in the future. Any creeping doubts that may occasionally arise as to the strengths of the sportsman's principles are quickly dispelled by letters such as the one received recently from Laird M. Wilcox of Kansas City, Missouri: 'To GUNS & AMMO: Although I had a good upbringing by fine parents, from 19G0 to 1966 I was involved in what has become known as the revolutionary 'New Left' student movement. I was, during that period, a member or leader in C.O.R.E., the A.CX.C, S.D.S., The Young Socialist Alliance and the Emergency Civil Liberties Commit tee. I was also the editor and publisher of one of the early underground papers, 'The Kansas Free Press". In 19G7 I went out into the cruel world of a Job respon sibility and hard work. Needless to say, most of my former left-wing ideas have changed since I left the hot-house at mosphere of the campus. As a former student radical who has had a couple of years to think things over, I think I can understand the forces subverting our young people. It was a rare individual in the radical student left who had been ac tive in outdoor sportsmanship, especially hunting and marks manship. More importantly, I knew all too well how important it is to the radical left to disarm the law-abiding majority of Americans. Gun control leading to eventual confiscation is essential to the planned Communist takeover and is the target date. 1 know this because I helped plan it! Revolutionary radicals and their misguided 'liberal' co horts work constantly, writing letters and circulating petitions demanding gun registration. The 196S Gun Control Act was 4i good example of their effectiveness. Meanwhile, of course, they are stockpiling explosives, guns and ammunition' for their own use and the use of Black Revolutionary groups. On top of tnls, their allies in the mass media (some of whom were former friends of mine, by the way) exaggerate the problem of firearms violence way out of proportion anl fab ricate stories of violence by 'militant right-wingers.' Before I fell into the 'New Left' trap as a college student, I had been an avid sportsman along witii my father. On top of this, 1 had a good appreciation of what the 'right to keep and bear arms' meant and my father saw to it that I learned good masculine values and the virtue of individual ism. I teel that this background was primarily responsible for my eventually seeing where the real truth was. Nothing is more obvious to me now than the need for freedom -loving sportsmen to become involved in the fight against gun control. Gun confiscation would mean the death of freedom in America. It is the final step needed for the takeover. Moreover, patriots of all kinds are desperately needed in the political arena. The radicals are winning by default. Unless your readers start to speak up. write letters, form groups and educate themselves, we will haw only our selves to blame for the coming nightmare." In newspaper interviews. Wilcox has been quoted as say ing in his association with new left college students that the "'were almost always the intellectually bright but emo tionally immature." He quoted Kenneth Keniston, professor of psychology at Yak- Medical School as saying "... there is a remarkable similarity in the backgrounds of student rad icals. A weak, somewhat passive father figure and a dom inant, assertive mother is an extremely common phenomenon in the lives Of these kids,' These remarks are cf course seized upon and represented by the anti-gun. liberal extremists a.s tourings of a need for tyrannical, whip wielding, unthinking patriarchs who encour age their sons on to brutal and senseless killings of creatures of the forest. This obviously te as extreme and twisted as most of their other views. However, ms further tacts continue to become known, there would appear to be a lot cf basic truth in the saying "Take A Boy Hunting And You Won't Have To Go Huntutg For Him " i. win J ' Lf'T"'' " "" " " " 11 U" 3 l i . .. r.. ; -, ' a' ' - . .-'-j 1 WR' , .... . , .T ACTION AT IONE!

An Earth Day adventure of local school kids cleaning up trash on the highway is also featured. Elton Weeks, assistant protect manager for Boeing's big Board- man development, recently spoke of recycling waste. Mr. Weeks said "We want to keep every thing on the project, the only thing to leave here being our products and paychecks." Still in the discussion stage there is the possibility that the possibility that some wastes might be processed, ground up and mixed with sand in some areas that can't be planted. This would reduce the dust from some of the blow areas, it is believed. TO THE EDITOR. ... 5177 Pa re jo Lr.

Some morning are chilly for golfing, even t nine Ai..k hut hv the time yuu or fin t v (lOf 1 it is b little wurmer and you have had u good time playing golf. This last Tuesday there were only four stalwart "iris i.iown to uiav. Vi Lannnm, Hawl Mahunev. Helen SchafiiLz and Marie McQuarrie was the foursome. We deciueu, since we had nerve enough to get out there on a cool morning and play a round of goll, eaen one should be awarded a golf ball. Well worth the effort and fun besides. A barbecue has been planned for Sunday, July 11. Goll Will start at 4:00 p.m. and dinner afterward. For the new members, maybe a little explanation is due on how these fun barbecues work. On this first one, those with their last name beginning from A to L will bring a salad. Those with their last name be ginning from M to Z will bring a dessert. This will be alternat ed for the next barbecue, so you won't be bringing salad or des sert every time. AND ALSO bring your own steak. If you haven't noticed we have a large barbecuer right next to the put ting green. Everyone cooks their own steak just the way they want them rare or burned. Bread, plates, silverware and coffee are furnished by the club. We play a two-ball four some game or goll lirst, men someone stays at tiie golf house and has the coals ready for the steaks when we are finished. Come on down and see how it is all done and what a good time everyone has. This will be our first barbecue of the year, due to the flood and the weath er, so should be a good one. Your families are welcome, but we do try to keep the little ones off the golf course and have them stay at the house. This way, this makes a family affair out of it, and babysitters aren't necessary and you can all be ! together. Do come. Some of the men have been working on No! 2 and No. 3. You will notice that No. 3 given to going to be way around the ear lier and over the rock bluff which should be a challenge. The work on No. 2 is cuing along fine. The water nystem Jk in on No. a, which is a rcut addition to that fuirway. Have you signed up yet to take lessons from George Dun car.? The writer found out Unit his teaching does wme good and with more practice will tw very helpful. Think about it arid improve your game.
