Let Pollution Ring
The American people have been whipped Into a
state of near frenzy by the newsmedla over our so-
called pollution crisis. As with most propaganda-gene-
rated mass movements, the people are striking out at
anything that smokes, drains or rumbles and they often
hit the wrong target. Minor problems are blown out of
proportion and economic progress is halted In the name
of pollution control — with few people knowing what
they are talking about.
The propaganda message being drilled Into the
American people is that our technology and Industria-
lization are the main reasons for pollution of air and
water. But. as is often the case with news media andj
government propaganda, they are telling, at best, a half
truth. Not only does the government and news media
exaggerate and distort the state of our ecology; they
are actually withholding highly significant and encou-
raging facts from the public. In fact, our air is clear-
ing so rapidly, except for widely publicized exceptions,!
that the Department of Health, Education and Welfare j
has stopped releasing figures on annual air pollution In
our major cities!
Why would the Federal government suppress the!
wonderful news that the air in our urban centers Is
actually clearing? The answer Is simple: the govern-
ment is using the ecology racket as an excuse to clamp
more controls on American industry and the American
people.
Our air, even In urban centers, Is actually 8 times
cleaner now than it was 40 years ago.
QUIET! MIGHT WAKE UP THE SHUT-INS!
Guest Editorial From Turkey Talk
* Howerton Park’ proposed
The Turkey Talk staff realizes the loss of a great
friend and supporter. Mr. Jack Howerton, the late
editor of the Cuero Record, was both a friend of the
school and community.
Mr. Howprton was always Interested In the publi-
cation of the Turkey Talk and was very considerate in
the costs and time put Into our paper.
But the paper came second In Mr. Howerton’s affec-
tions; his favorite was baseball. This was his sport. He
would drive by the baseball park everyday Just to see If
It was still there. He regularly sent one of his emplo-
yees to maintain the diamond.
Since high school as well as community baseball Is
played at the park, we the members of the Turkey Talk
staff would like to propose to the Cuero city council
that the baseball park be named Jack Howerton Park
in memory of a great lover of sports and community
supporter.
MOUNT CLEMENS, MICH., MACOMB DAILY: “Ever
watch someone take a photograph of a lovely land-
scape with one of those instant-picture cameras—and
then drop the waste portion of the film on said land-
scape? That’s the human animal for you, also known as
the Jitterbug. But the problem of these cameras Is more
than Just litter. According to Friends magazine, the
film contains noxious chemicals. If blown Into a lake,
they poison the water. If dropped In woods or fields,
they are often eaten by animals, with sometime fatal
results. They also stain clothing. The answer: A plastic
litter bag to carry the scraps In until they can be dis-
posed of properly. If anybody really cares about the
landscape, that is.’’

Politics begin what It is — a
filthy, unprincipled business,
consider for a moment this
possibility: A Democratic Pre-
sidential ticket of Humphrey
and Wallace.
Such a ticket would sweep the
South: would take millions of
conservative votes from Nixon;
and would not lose many Ne-
groes because they have no
better place to go.
To think of Wallace mated
with Humphrey is as horrible
as to think of your daughter
married to Clifford Irving.
If George Wallace thus be-
came Vice President, I’d hate
to be President Humphrey's

C. B. 8. Is King
We all make mistakes. As
much as I admire J. Edgar
Hoover, I realize that even he
makes mistakes. Like when he
called Martin Luther King "the
biggest liar in the country.”
King was not the biggest liar
in the country — C. B. S. was
and Is.

New York, condoning it in Ha-
vana and "building bridges of
friendship” to Moscow, Peip-
ing, Toronto and Santiago, and
Belrade. Most Americans have
always considered their wars
as righteous wars. Crusades.
This attitude might be attribut-
ed to the “puritan” tradition of
our forefathers. The sad fact
is that few if any nations in the
world are as idealistic and as
moralistic a* America. Whether
it is war or sex, religion or
gambling, drug addiction or
pornography, America — be-
lieve it or not — has been an
innocent child compared with
most of the world. (We are now
"catching up!") No wonder we
are suckers. No wonder we
have no real allies. No wonder
the world misjudges our mo-
tives. No wonder we art los-
ing.
