The same people who complain
about the snow and cold weather
staying with us will be the same
ones who will complain about the
heat next summer.
Most of us, at some time, feel
that we could improve upon the
weather the Lord provides us but
can y<>u think of anyone you
would care to trust to provide for
your needs any better? We want
more snow with a higher moisture
content for a good crop year. This
might lead, if conditions were
good everywhere, to a record pro
duction and lower prices for pro
ducts our farmers market.
Was thinking tonight that when
I was much younger I’d now be
counting the time when 'I could
shed my shoes and go barefooted.
Most of my associates did the
same thing. Only parents who
wanted to show they could afford
shoes for their kids kept them
shod after April. A kid who has
never raced barefoot through a
woodland trail, occasionally los
ing a big toenail on a misplaced
stone or root, and getting over his
tears so he can show mother how
brave he is when he gets home—
has missed something.

Most of us live today as if we
planned to live forever. We are
seldom aware of the fact that we
“can’t take it with us.” If we are
aware of it we think it is because |
the federal government will get
it first!

With all our government pro
grams why should we worry? If
there isn’t a program designed to
take care of the group having par
ticular problems there will be one
adopted before it gets very seri
ous. And in election years the
leaders will remind us who GAVE
it to us—not who TOOK it from
us.

Perhaps it is wishful think
ing, but it does appear that
more and more people are be
ginning to get concerned about
our trend toward socialism. At
least publishers are, and I can't
believe it is all because they

Tomatoes are the number one

After a study of thousands of
road accidents, Scotland Yard de
cided the prime cause was STU

If the Antarctic’s ice melted the
oceans would flood many coastal
cities and put one-third of the
Washington monument under
water?
The first baby show was held
in Springfield, Ohio, in 1854 with
127 babies entered and 127 won

One of the greatest causes of
world trouble today is that stu

things—and intelligent folks are
so full of doubts.

Owyhee Community

Dear Editor:
Your article in “From This Cor
ner” of last week, as to my way
of thinking, has been long over
due.
Since when, and why, is it a
foul trait of character to be pa
triotic? To believe in constitu
tional government by law, not by
men? To believe in the U.S.A,
first?
Only since the red ideology has
infiitered every fiber of our na
tional life. Liberalism is but one
of the avenues used by the “reds”
and “pinks” to subvert the free
dom of this nation.
The power to tax is also the
power to destroy. If used to that
end, it withers the supply of tax
money.
The national debt of $7000 per
person of this nation means only
one thing. We are no longer a
free people. We are virtually
slaves to those to whom that mon
ey is owed. What difference is
there between losing our freedom
to a dictator Communist, union
gangster-rule by nationwide un
ions, Naziism, National Socialism
or foreclosure? The end result is
the same — enslavement of the
masses.
Overtaxation is one of the vil
est, most insidious ways of doing
just that; i.e., enslavement of the
masses.
As to my understanding, liber
alism has come to mean only one
thing — being liberal with other
people’s money, so that they, the
other people (the great mass of
taxpayers) may be thereby fur
ther enslaved.
Are you the common taxpayer,
so abysmally stupid that you can
not see in what a state, we as a
nation now are? Are you too
spineless to let your voices be
heard?
'If not, let’s hear your voice, and
may it become a roar that will
bring this nation back to sanity
and freedom in fact.

Who Wants To Work?
How’s tae nation’s first depressed training program
getting along?
We’ve got the initial results right from the horse’s
mouth—and the report is downright depressing.
We take you now to the state of West Virginia, where
only about 750 of the estimated 7,000 to 8,000 unemployed
in Cabell and Wayne counties (the rail, coal mining and
industrial areas) have applied for retraining. And don’t
forget—pay is offered to those learning new jobs.
Now this depressed area retraining program was de
signed as a federal pilot project to aid areas of chronic
employment. Its aim was to teach workers with few job
opportunities new skills they could use in new, less de
pressed vocations.
The State Department of Employment Security —
charged with processing applicants — hired nine extra
people to handle the anticipated rush of applicants. The
rush never came. The extra staff has been cut to four
for lack of applicants.
These were the answers which the employment office
got when they contacted unemployed prospects:
“I’m just not interested.”
“I expect to be called back to work soon.”
“I’m too old to be starting all over again.”
Looks like the jobless mountaineers prefer to stay
home and live on their unemployment checks.
