THE DEPRIVED
In a Christian nation such as ours concern for the deprived
is proper and expected. 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.

Dear Sir:
l ast week, several of oui high

matters into their own hands and
gave one of their fellow class
