The “Hawks’* think we are right tn being over there to stop Communism away from our shores and should take whatever steps necessary to bring the war toa rapid conclusion. Military thinking ( other than that of Defense Secretary McNamara ) indicates we could win the war in a short time and save muiy thousinds of American lives. But regardless of which way we shall eventually go, whether wisely or not, we do have a choice in this Asiatic warfare. But do we here in our insurrection. Can laws be passed to curtail the situation, or will it take slaughter of the law violators to bring a screeching halt to the spread of this warfare. One of the Russian dictators has said America would succumb without a shot being fired by the Commumstsl UNIONS have reached the point where they need curtailment. One time it was management with the idea of "The Public Be Damned", but for over thirty years the labor organization have not only defied the federal government but the welfare of the entire public. President Johnson pronvsed to submit legislation to handle nationwide strikes, when against the public interest, and then threw it back in the lap of congress without doing so. Now we have temporary legislation, expiring January 1, 1969 (well after the next presidential election) to handle these situations. And, futhermore, our own Senator Morse has been chosen chairman of the committee to handle the situation. One has only to recall the hundreds of thousands of dollars given him by the Unions of California to judge where he will be in relation to the interest of the people and the unions. SCHOOLS should bear their f>art of the criticism ’or our present condition. Most do not teach the principles upon which this country was formed and what made it great. A small part of the textbooks tell of the economic background that enables us to becom* the wealthiest nation of all times. Patriotism is looked upon as a form of "Flag Waving" that should be hidden, and is seldom found in the textbook. But possibly we have over-looked the most imjortant of all. This would be the decay of morals in the American homes. Could it be that we have become so materialistically minded that we are content with our worldly goods? .Anyway, we believe it is time for all to think on these things and not believe that Detroit, Newark, Rochester, Watts, and New York City are so far away that they cannot possibly affect us.

Asian War Labor Unions, Schools Press critics look with disfavor, usuilly, on small weeklies editorialixing on national issues. They say there are enough local problems needing attention that the editor should confine himself to a solution to these. And, that he should leave the big issues to those who are on the scene and have staffs large enough to investigate and present the fa?ts We believe this is normally true. Good government starts on the local level. If it is not good in a big majority of the communities it is apt to be poor in the entire state. And if poor in a majority of the states, will be poor, nationally. In other words, good government Starts at nome! (And, if you don’t believe it look back on the national political scene and see where voters have “thrown the rascals* out” when they were unhappy, locally.) We believe anyone, regardless of the population of the hamlet, who is not concerned with outpresent situation is either apathetic or doesn’t understand the situations.

Obituaries -fc- I BIG PROBLEMS Four big problems are facing the people of this nation. They ate, as we see them; (1) The Civil War (commonly called race riots), (2) The Asian War, (3) Union, (4) Schools. One has only fo read the headlines in a daily paper to see how widespread and serious this CIVIL WAR is. People are being killed on many fronts, property damage is running into the hundreds of million of dollars from malicious fire burnings. The local la* enforcement cannot cope with the situations-- often standing by helplessly and watching the crimes. Call it what you may, if it spreads toother cities and smaller commun ities as rapidly as in recent months, how can it be stopped, or even slowed down? The majority of the people m ist respect the law and obide by it until changed, if thought unfair. Our national leaders and the courts have supported the theory that, due to unfairness of previous laws, it is understandable that those oppressed can do what they wish to upset these laws. If these insurrections are not halted by some means how can we manufacture and deliver the arms and supplies necessary to support ou - troops in Vietnam. OUR WAR IN VIETNAM--in spite of the present loss of lives, the cost, said to be exceeding $90 million daily, could be secondary to the survival of the U. S.as a nation. The "Doves’’ think we should never have been there, should cease all bombing and prepare to withdraw, regardless of the national image, Communism gainings, or the conditions of peace terms. ■ JULY 27, 1967 THE NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL, NYSSA, OREGON PAGE TWO Church of North America.
