Newspapers, U of O Library 97403 C jv B ON THE SCENIC NORTH SANTIAM HIGHWAY — OREGON’S FAST GROWING VACATION WONDERLAND VOLLME XXIV NUMBER 35 Up and Down The Avenue By Don Moffatt This is the second week in a row that I have been taken to task for what I have writ ten about the government and its spending and tax program. 1 was told that it would be a sin to cut out the space pro gram because it would put come 400,000 men out of wirk. In the first place I don’t class the space program as a project just to keep men employed. True, these space scientists are brilliant men. They must be to operate all the intricate machinery it takes to figure out just hw to get men on the moon, and get them hack. But—here is something else to think about. We have a great pollution problem here on this earth right now. Wny not turn some of the brilliant scientists loose on determin ing how we can keep from burying ourselves in our own garbage. That, to me, is just as important as flying to the moon. Lots of good has come from the exploration of outer space, and I a grateful I live in a society capable of ac complishing these feats. But look at it this way. Any coun try that is so dependent upon government spending to keep people employed is a sick one! You may not believe that, but if we could get this work done entirely by private enterprise, it would be a lot better society to live in. I’m not smart enough to know how to figure this out, and I doubt if anyone in the country today is. I have no workable plan to get gov ernment out of business—but if this could be done, we could have a more stable economy, and lower taxes too. As far as likening a moon trip to the discovery of this country—there is just no com parison. This particular feat was accomplished all on this earth, and for a h— of a lot less money too, even figuring the oroportion of inflation since ’.hat time. I think all oi us should be a little more real istic about the space program. I may not be all right—but neither am I all wrong about it.
