Indeed, it is the history of our people that concern for the deprived has prompted generosity admired by the entire civilized world. Within our own borders, however, concern for the deprived has waned. And the deprived are grievously in need. Federal funds and projects have not been enough. Appropriations and budgeted bounties have not done the job. There have been com missions and authorities. Experts have been empanelled. Yet the plight of the deprived in our country grows worse, not better. Who are these deprived? The woman whose purse is snatched from her hand in the street. The merchant whose cash register is emptied while he is held at bay. The teenage daughter of a neighbor who is deprived of her virginity, by force. The homeowner who returns to a house from which the TV, the radio, the silverware and the piggy-bank have been stolen. The taxpayer whose family automobile has been stolen. The jobholder who has had a knife or a gun jammed into his ribs a block from home, is mugged and beaten and robbed. The vacationing family who returned to find the house stripped of even the furniture. These are the deprived in our land. The really deprived. They outnumber the deadbeats on welfare, the poverty program spon gers and the black-power marchers by ten to one. Our police have been cowed into docility toward those who deprive us. Ckir courts have pampered those who de prive us. Our politicians have been nauseating in their pan dering to pressures -- and votes. We are the deprived -- we who pay the taxes, we who suffer pain and loss -- of property and even life. And the time has come to tell the judges, the police, the politicians, and Washington, that you don’t aim to be deprived any longer. • If you are one of the deprived, start making noises. Loud. You’ll be heard. - U.S. Press Association. Personal Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Smith of Montclair. Calif., left Feb. 23 for their home after visiting for a week with his father, Wyatt and Mrs. Smith and other rela tives in the area.
