said they felt more workable
solutions could be found to

Claude News.
THE PROBLEM OF BIGNESS
Dallas and other large cities
have been having a serious
problem with their young-
sters. Recently John McKee,
of the Dallas Crime Commis-
sion, reported many Dallas
high school girls were be-
ing lured into narcotics ad-
diction and prostitution by an
underground organization.
This is one good reason
why we must safeguard our
small towns and their school
systems. This was brought
out by a question Mike King-
ston, Dallas News Editorial
Staff writer asked Mr. Mc-
Kee:
Kingston: Is there any evi-
dence that people are begin-
ning to avoid cities and live
in small towns rather than
expose their children to po-
students and congregations but
didn’t invite the breweries. Is-
n’t that terrible?
When they complained about
their taxes, they didn’t bother
to go on and say that all the
taxes they pay are passed on
to the consumers, and even
so they still compete with beer
that is brewed In out-of-state
breweries.
We worried so much about
them, we didn’t sleep over
eight or nine hours that night.

one, no one can deny. EveryGOVERNMENT FARMING
Untold billions of dollars
have been spent over the years
in an effort to “help the far-
mer.”
Far from being helped, the
farmer is faced with ever —
mounting costs of operation on
the one hand, and mountain of
red tape and restrictions on
the other.
Hopefully the end of this
bureaucratic nightmare may
be in sight.
The largest farm organiza-
tion in the nation, represent-
ing about 1.8 million families,
have gone on record in favor
of dismantling government
farm programs and replacing
them with devices to help
move gradually into a market
—oriented economy free of
federal controls and pay-
ments.
Charles B. She man, presi-
dent of The American Farm
Bureau Federation, believes,
“The general public is finally
beginning to recognize that a
government — planned agri-
culture is a costly exercise
in futility.”
Farmers have had a longer
experience with government
planning and subsidies than
any other group in the coun-
try.
The significance of their
wish to be freed of massive
government intervention in
their affairs should not be
lost on those who have more
recently entered into “part-
nership” with Uncle Sam. —

TIMELY ADVICE.
Many Americans will agree
with these comments from a
well-known politician:
“The budget should be bal-
anced, the Treasury should be
refilled, the public debt should
be reduced, the arrogance of
officialdom should be temper-
ed and controlled. Assistance
to foreign lands should be cur-
tailed lest we become bank-
rupt. The mob should be forced
to work and not depend on
government for subsistence.”
Humorist Goodman Ace
quoted that politician’s timely
comments recently in the Sat-
urday Review. He also ex-
plained that the quotation was
from Cicero who “was appar-
ently attempting to keep Romd
from falling.”
Cicero didn’t succeed 2,000
years ago. Will we do any bet-
ter? — Dallas Morning News.

Former editor and publisher of Nation’s Bus-
iness, Mr. Alden H. Sypher, writes rather causti-
cally of grandiose plans for construction of magni-
ficent new quarters in New York City where United
Nations diplomats and their families could live, work
and play. According to Mr. Sypher, the proposed
U. N. additions would reach new peaks of splendor
and would “...form a new international showplace
centered around the point where the present United
Nations Headquarters stands.” The cost would be
hundreds of millions of dollars, and it would take
up to five years to complete the ambitious program.
Although the United Nations has no money, U. N.
Secretary General U Thant has approved the plan.
U. S. taxpayers will not be surprised to learn
the cost of the expansion of U. N. Headquarters —
or at least most of it — will come from the tax-
payers of the United States, not from the other 125
member nations. As Mr. Sypher observed, “While
these plans for greater grandeur were being pored
over in New York by the international thinkers who
like to consider themselves the world’s peace-
keepers, American battle deaths continued to be
counted in the hundreds week after week in the snake-
infested mud and dust of Viet Nam.” He goes on to
review all the other areas of the world where the
United Nations has failed to contribute to the cause
of peace.
Just why U. S. taxpayers should be called uponi
to provide enlarged quarters for the United Nations
under these circumstances is difficult to understand^
THE AMERICAN FARM Bureau Federation
commented that according to the Census Bureau,
the number of farm households has declined from
4,091,000 in 1960 to 2,944,000 in March, 1968. Dur-
ing the same period the number of non-farm house-
holds rose from 48,708,000 to 57,501,000. The
average household declined from 3.33 people (the
1955-64 average) to 3.23 in 1968 — reflecting both
a decline in the birth rate and an increase in the
number of one-person households. Of the 60,444,000
U. S. households in 1968, 49,734,000 were families.
Husband and wife were both present in 43,267,000
families, while 5,273,000 were headed by a woman
and 1,194,000 by a man. There were 7,049,000 house-
holds composed of lone women and 3,661,000 of lone
men.

If I were a high school
student and found that I will
have some extra time on my
hands this summer 1 would sit
up an extensive reading pro-
gram for myself. It should
include many of the classics
as well as modern litera-
ture and a good sprinkling
of non-fiction and history.
I would also make it a point
to read a newspaper every
day, especially the editorials,
and a good news magazine
every week. Add to this a time
for getting acquainted with
good music and study some
of the works of art.
If you develop the habit of
self - Improvement you will
find It quite profitable the rest
of your life. But only you can
do it.
Talk to your teachers to
determine the books to read
and start the program to
rolling just as soon as school
is out.
Let me know how you make
out next fall. — Cecil Wag-
goner in Claude News.
There was a time when thousands of acres
of land were abandoned in the Montague, Cooke,
and Grayson Counties area because of land erosion
and depletion of soil fertility. It is to the ever-
lasting credit of far - seeing men, led by the Soil
Conservation Service, that much of this land has
now been reclaimed and is back in profitable pro-
duction.
Working with the SCS have been land owners,
bankers, business men and others who are inter-
ested in the future of our area. AU deserve much
credit and commendation for their energy, enter-
prise, wise planning and wUlingness to Invest in
the land.
We join in extending congratulations to the men
who are recognized in this 20th annual awards ban-
quet. We know that they richly deserve the awards
they are to receive. But there are numbers erf
unrecognized workers who may also feel some
satisfaction in the great amount of good that has
been accomplished in the soU and water conser-
vation programs of the area. It has been the work
of hundreds of people
ful program.
That the soil and
has been a successful
year the records tell us that more land is being
saved and improved and that better use is being
made of the water that falls thereon. We do not
agree with the prophets of doom that there will
be a world food shortage within a few short years
because we have seen much reclaimed land, vastly
improved yields and tremendous advances in the
growing of food and fiber for this nation and the
poor nations of the world.
This has been brought about, of course, by
proper land use, erosion control, uses of legume:
and glasses and the addition of fertilizer. While
the farmer is making more profit for himself in these
(modern farming methods he is also retaining the
productivity of the soil for future generations s<
that there need never- be a shortage of food ane

Some may wonder how Rus-

kia but refrains from invading
a more defiant communist na-
tion, Yugoslavia. The answer
is simpler than you think. The
Czechs were completely dis-
armed long ago. The Slave is
a different story. They have
a strong standing army and are
allowed to own guns of their
own.

ON BUSSING STUDENTS
Many school districts are
running into problems trying
to satisfy the civil rights arm
of the Department of Justice.
Although, most of them are
making every effort they can
to get the civil rights people
off their backs, it seems al-
most impossible to satisfy
them.
If there is a school any-
where, which does not have
at least some students of a
minority group, they try to
force them to get them, even
if they have to import them
from another district.
That seems pretty far fet-
ched to us. And we don’t be-
lieve that even the minority
groups are in favor of send-
ing their children by bus no
telling where just so they can
1 go to school with some Whites.
This also forces the dis-
I trict to spend money on bus-
ses that could very well go
’ to teacher’s salaries oroper-
1 a ting expense of better curri-
culum.
I It would also keep a child
! from taking part in school
activities that were not in the
normal day’s schedule, such
1 as sports, school plays, spe-
cial tutoring in his weak sub-
jects, or the parents’ taking
part In P-TA. If a parent need-
ed to consult a teacher about
his child’s school work, then
he would have to travel the dis-
tance to the school.
Then the cost of bussing
would be astronomical. We
don’t think It would be worth
it — in fact we think it is
foolish! — Brown County Ga-
■ zette.
