ADVERTISE IN THE HARPER HERALD!
The Harper Herald was fou#q^ on April 27, 1908. After an
absence and a discontinuation i cy. few years, from about
1919 to 1926, for 7 years, The Harper Herald was re-
established by J. Marvin Hunter on Feb. 26, 1926. His son,
Warren Hunter, took over as editor-publisher until 1938,
selling to Harold Dietel who in turn sold The Herald to his
brother, Norman J. Dietel, in 1941. N.J.D. has continued as
Ed.-Publisher and owner, for the past 41 years.

THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND has come
and gone. She visited California the
past two weeks at a time when furious
Pacific storms lashed the California
coasdt, bringing torrential rains,
causing much property damage, floods,
mud slides, deaths, human misery and
suffering. While at San Diego, L. A.
and San Francisco, people of Irish
descent paraded in protest, suggesting
the Queen, who represents the English
government, order the British troops
out of Northern Ireland. The Irish des-
cendants in the U. S. constitute the
second largest group here in America,
the German descendants are first with
29 percent and the people of English
descent are third. Others, such as
Polish, Scotch, Russian, French, Italian,
Hungarians, Romanians, etc., are in
lesser numbers but nevertheless all are
part of this great land which is known
as “the melting pot of the world.”
—Range & Field—
WHEN THE QUEEN ARRIVED, on
board the largest “Yacht” in the world,
she was accompanied by an entourage
of her Royal Court representatives and
over 100 sailors who manned the boat.
It was nice of her to come and pay a
return visit to this nation since our
President had previously been a guest
in England. The Queen came as a gues^.
of our President, Ronald Reagan, the
President entertaining her at his ranch
home in California and at a reception in
one of the big cities. All did not go well,
however, due to the change in plans
because of inclement, unpredicted
stormy weather. While on the trip and
tour to Yosemite National Park three
security men were killed in a tragic
head-on collision, two others were in-
jured, when a motorcade of 15 vehicles
in an advance guard prepared the way
for the safety of the visiting dignitary.
The Queen’s entourage passed the scene
of the tragedy and reportedly she ex-
pressed her sad regret. It is not known
what the families of the three deceased
security men thought, nor was their
opinion released. No doubt it was “all in
the line of duty.”
—Range & Field—
AS A FRIENDLY GESTURE the
Queen might have arrived bringing as-
surances that her government was
ready to pay some of the World War I
and WWII obligations, principal, inter-
est. The first dignitary to visit Presi-
dent Reagan after his inauguration two
years ago was England’s Prime Minis-
ter, Margaret Thatcher. What she had
come for was probably to seek” more
financial, economic, and other “AID.”
The U.S. has bailed out most of the
countries of this world and today, as of
now, not very many have responded in
repaying. Only a few have! Why the
U.S. must continue to burden itself
with taxpayers’ money to support
other nations around the globe is a
serious question which many econo-
mists, many American citizens, can not
quite understand. There could also
have been another good-will gesture on
the part of the Queen in that she and
her government could have announced
that they will finally consent to the
release of Rud. Hess who has been in
the Spangau Prison, Berlin, for many
years. Hess, it will be remembered, was
captured in Wales by the British after
flying unannounced from Germany and
crashing in Wales on an aborted
mission in which he reportedly was at-
tempting to seek peace with England.
He did nothing wrong. He committed
no crime. He was trying to help! Over
the years, since his capture around
1941-42 it was generally believed that
it was the Russians who did not permit
the release of Hess. It was a year or so
ago tnat it was revealed it was not
Russia, but England who refused to
permit the release of Hess. The reason:
If Hess were released he might reveal
information which reportedly would
embarrass some people in England, still
living!
—Range & Field—
IT SEEMS that it should not be the re-
sponsibility of the American taxpayer
to shoulder expenses, costs, of the
Queen’s visit. Seems more than reason-
able that if the President wanted the
Queen over here as his guest, he could
arrange to defray the cost out of his
own pocket, not out of the American
taxpayers’ pockets. Some of my read-
ers here might object to this sort of
viewpoint. But, if this kind of govern-
ment-sponsored taxpayers money is
being involved to entertain a visiting
Queen, then that same sort of invitation
might as well be extended to all other
leading heads of state, whether they be
Kings, Queens, Monarchs, or whatever.
A parallel has been suggested with
regards to the Texas State Capitol
where a recent fire caused a reported
half million dollars destruction, due to
the frivolous activities of some young
people involving the daughter of the
state’s Lt.Governor . . . who ought to
shoulder the cost of reconstruction and
refurbishing . . . not the Texas
taxpayer who has no access to the use of
the Capitol apartments!
—Range & Field—
MAHATMA GANDHI in his lifetime
saw much poverty, tyranny, oppres-
sion, not only in his own native India
but in South Africa. An extraordinarily
good motion picture film was made of
Gandhi’s life which is being hailed as
one of three or four motion pictures as
the best produced during the past year.
I had the opportunity of viewing this
film last Sunday and, without
hesitation, I recommend, endorse it. It
reveals and brings out some very sad,
repressing situations in areas of the
world dominated by a country which at
one time ruled just about three-fourths
of the earth’s surface but now has
shrunk virtually to within its own
island confines. It took a little man like
Gandhi, clothed only in bits of self-
woven linen or cotton cloth, to bring the
mightiest of men, the greatest ruling
power on earth in the early part of this
century, to its senses. I often wonder
why some nations, men, landlords,
want to mle or own so much, land or
money, Wealth of any sort, when all
they can take back with them on the oc-
casion of their demise (he or she), will
be absolutely nothing. What a person
can leave behind though is something of
much greater value than wealth or land,
and you can gather that from the life of
Gandhi who helped free his people,
gaining independence for India . . .
merely by using the tactics of non-
violence, resisting all attempts at fur-
ther coercion, tyrannical despotic rule.
In this connection let’s remember that
the Good Lord put us on this ear-
th, and meant everyone, regardless of
race, color, creed, to be born FREE and
to remain FREE, notwithstanding the
theories of communism (Karl Marx or
Lenin) or any other ism, or despot,
tyrannical government, whether that
may have been in ages past (B.C.) or in
our time (A.D.)!
—Range & Field—
OUR NATIONAL GOVERNMENT is
currently facing a financial dilemma.
The national debt has soared to well
over a trillion plus some billion dollars.
Yet, the Administration, the Congress,
the President, seem bent on spending
more, on providing more economic and
military aid to other countries around
the globe. Specifically at this time

some South American countries who, it
is maintained, will fall to communism.
InWWI the slogan was “Make the
World Safe for Democracy.” In WWII
it was to help defeat a dictator, a tyrant
who was attempting to run over all of
Europe (who in essence really was a
product of WWI) and then in more
recent years it was Vietnam. Now, it
seems it will be El Salvador, and/or
other South American nations. There is
always an excuse . . . mainly perhaps to
provide the establishment and eastern
industries with defense projects. Some
people assert that if profit is removed,
once and for all time, from anything in-
volving the manufacture or shipment of
war-related hardware, guns, ammuni-
tion, and the labor unions involved re-
ceive the minimum, not the maximum,
pay scale (there presently are many
hundreds of thousands of unprotected,
, unemployed men and women) then you
might have peace in this world. This
applies to all peoples, to all countries.
Can it become a reality? ’Twould be, if
mankind wishes to survive on this
planet.

A READER of this column contributed
the following news item datelined
YOSEMITE, this being the national
park where the Queen of England
recently visited:
THE COST?
A QUEEN’S RANSOM
YOSEMITE — If one expression says
it all about the costs involved in bring-
ing Queen Elizabeth II to Yosemite,
give credit to Postmaster Leroy Rust:
“They are spending money like it is
going out of style.”
Rust added: “They must have an
open-ended account for all of this.”
It may be hard to tell if there is no
turning off the dollar faucet, but one
thing is for sure — the American tax-
payers will be opening up their bill-
folds for most, if not all, of the ex-
travaganza.
Thousands of hours of planning and
preparation have gone into the visit.
Park facilities have been painted and
polished again and again. For years the
Park Service has cried poverty over
inability to maintain existing facilities,
let alone find funds for any major im-
provement.
One long-time resident remarked that
he had even seen potholes being filled.
During her stay in Yosemite, the
Queen was guest of the President of the
United States.
The State Department picked up the
tab, but isn’t letting on exactly what
dollars are being paid out.
The Park Service acknowledges con-
cern over costs, but sidesteps the issue
as well.
Just how high is high? Try out some
of these figures:
—121 rooms at the prestigious Ah-
wahnee Hotel average $100 per night
(group rate). The queen’s three-room
suite alone goes for $698.54.
For two nights’ stay, that comes up to
about $25,000, plus meals. And, act-
ually, the royal tour has the hotel tied
up for three nights.
—Hundreds of Secret Service agents
and park rangers have been drawn from
around the country to insure the
Queen’s safety. Some of them have
flown to Yosemite from great distances.
Others drove here. Most are lodged in
concessionaire facilities on a per-diem
basis.
Again, just how costly is costly?
—On Friday, for example, a $525-an
hour contract helicopter spent most of
the day checking out the valley. Below,
mounted rangers — on stock brought in
from winter pasture in the foothills —
checked out every trail.
—There was a helicopter brought in
from the Lemoore Naval Air Station at
a cost of $1,800 an hour, and a Califor-
nia Highway Patrol helicopter was
brought in from Fresno.
There may be some solace in that
media representatives will be paying
their own expenses.
Still, the government will be picking
up the cost of issuing nearly 3,000
med_ia credentials.
The U.S. Information Agency is
picking up those costs; but there’s no
doubt how far down those costs will be
passed. And the government also will
be footing the bill for setting up 50 tele-
phones for one day’s use by the media.
For the 225 media personnel coming
to Yosemite, you can also add the cost
of three special platforms on which
camera crews were corralled.
—Range & Field—
Incidentally, while the Queen of
England was in our generous America,
California, getting a free ride thru the
country as a guest of the President, I
heard that people in West Germany
(destroyed to words beyond description
in WWII) had sent food to the starving
and poor unemployed in Detroit, Mich.
No such gestures have been heard of
from England whom the U.S. helped
SAVE a second time in this century!
