If there is any reason for our
not having enough hospitals and
schools, it certainly does not lie
in the charge that private wealth
robs the public treasury. This is
the outmoded view that there is
only a given amount of wealth
or work. If we can improve our
rate of growth, so as to move
the whole economy ahead at a
faster rate, then the so-called
“public sector” will be entitled
to a proportionate share, and
even private philanthropy also
will be working harder to pro-
vide those hospitals and schools.
Such curious critics have de-
veloped myths that are a direct
affront to the American Way.
These myths add up to an attack
on the right to own, as well as
on the freedom to determine what
constitutes the good life for our-
selves and hence the freedom to
use our money as we choose. Be-
sides denying individuals free-
doom, from this comes the notion
that ownership of goods or mon-
ey is anti-social. To foster the
'xidea that to be “rich” — even
average-American rich — is bad
does the whole world a great dis-
service.

Our affluence has been made
possible mostly because of the
complex of freedoms granted by j
our American Constitution, not.
the least of which is freedom of
individual opportunity and enter-
prise. Economist John K. Harvard
from White House service, has
also focused out* attention on the
^affluent” society. Americans
‘ have too much money, as his
image has it. This view admits
that consumers control the na-
tion’s economy, but it does not
find it good. This view argues
that a larger portion of the eco-
nomy should be funneled to gov-
ernment spending for education,
medical care, and public housing.
Because of the fact that our
free economy depends on the
demands of consumers, goods
• will not be produced unless peo-
‘ Jble want them. It is the accumu-
lated demand of people
drives our history to produce. Not
only does this pressure get out
the goods, it also makes tax rev-
enues possible, providing what-
ever services that a federal bud-
get of nearly $100 billion pro-
vides.

Leonard Community United
Fund Campaign Chairman Fate
Parker reports the $2300.00 goal
for this year has almost been
reached. Contributions total
$2224.03 at present and all pledge
cards have not been turned in.
Mr. Parker urges everyone to
turn cards over to Mrs. Bill Hud-
son at Leonard National Bank
as early as possible, saying the
drive will close this week.
Mr. Parker also expresses his
thanks to the workers in the cam-
paign drive and to each person
who contributed money.
Around the turn of the cen-
a socialist oriented authoi-
iiamed Thorstein Veblen wrote
eloquently — and critically — of
the effects of the industrial rev-
olution. Especially, in a book
many college students read, The
Theory of the Leisure Class, he
made America a pecuniary so-
ciety, a fact to which no econo-
mics teacher could object. But
one of Veblen’s catchwords, “con-
spicuous consumption,” a phrase
he used to describe, one of the
uses of money, has stuck with
two or three generations of col-
lege trained critics of free enter-
prise.
Even historian Arnold Toynbee
is able to claim that our afflu-
ence shunts aside the real Ameri-
can “revolution.” We are getting
so rich, he says, that we are for-
getting our ideals. Our standard
of living is doubtless the envy
of the rest of the world, although
not many of us are rich in our
own relative use of that term.
At times we forget our basic
idealism, but it is possible that
this British historian under-
estimates our strength in crisis.
Too many Americans probably
do forget that our abundance
comes not from acts of Congress
or White House magic.

We may condemn waste as
well as some self-indulgence, but
to put our free economy under
suspicion is a great mistake. A
mass consumption society, placing
as it does an important evalua-
^tion on freedom, wants everyone
to enjoy a similar advantage. It
is possible that we may be getting
these notions across, gradually,
to the people behind the Iron
Curtain. Either here or there, the
demands of free consumers can
produce, more wants than can
ever be satisfied.

Leonard Postal
Receipts Reach All
Domino Tournament Time High In ’63
Postmaster Alwyn L. Golden
has today announced that postal
receipts for the calendar year
1963 totaled more than they have
ever been.
The amount of the increase was
$2,787.00, same being almost 24
per cent more than the calendar
year 1962.
Postmaster Golden attributed
this h is t o r- y - making in-
crease to the fact that crops were
better in 1963 than in a long
time; that there was a slight in-
crease in postage rates in 1963;
that the postal patrons felt that
they can come as near getting
value received when they mail
letter as they can get in
other manner, and that they
found it a pleasure to do busi-
ness in the new, modern
ters.
