In a time of precision and accuracy,

I do not know who said these words. I do
know who believes them
I am stunned by the death of my friend
Grady Nutt. God and I have been having a ter-
rific argument about this loss since the word
came I know He sees things from the perspec-
tive of the whole and I see things from the
perspective of the part or probably a part of
the part, but we need Grady We need the
laughter We need the giggle We need the gen-
tle prick in our pompus attitudes.
Everywhere I go in town I bump into people
who are stunned. They all feel as if they knew
him well My phone rang off the hook this mor-
ning as people called to express their grief
This happened in a town in Texas where
Grady appeared three times I wonder how
many other towns across the country are ex-
periencing the same thing? When you think
about it and multiply the experience here by
50 YEARS AGO
Apparently refusing to believe that school authorities
will not leave anything of value in the high school building
or office burglars, last Friday night again ransacked
even conceivable plan- where the money from the foot-
ball game could ahve been located
Authorities are expressing themselves as being well
pleased the burglars did not mutilate or deface the
building or any of the school equipment bey ond a slight in
dication of maliciousness which may have been ag-
grevated by not finding any money
75 YEARS AGO
A Brand reporter took a short vacation .w day this
week tor a little visit to the public school Most of the
rooms were visited but the shortness of time prevented a
very long stay at any We were glad to note the splendid
work being done in all the rooms Part of the high school
were busily engaged in written work Their close attention
showed they were doing their best

NCPAC won were the defeat

President Reagan says his defense buildup has convinc-
ed the Soviets that they are not the only ones in the arms
race, heightening hopes that the Kremlin is ready to talk
seriously about reducing nuclear weapons
Efforts by the Soviet Union to upgrade consumer living
standards have made only modest progress and are

study commissioned by the CIA.
WASHINGTON - Swimm-
ing against the tide of conven-
tional wisdom is nothing new
for Walter Williams, the
gifted black economist and
professor Time and time
again, he has raised the ire of
self-styled black leaders by
daring to suggest that ad-

welfare -.pending, quotas and
There are so many positive signs contained
in the opening of the Swift Independent Pack-
ing Co. plant that we hardly know where to
start.
Officials from SIPCO have been in Hereford
for several months, supervising the re-
modeling and get-ready work in preparation
for the plant's opening. They. Umi. have been
ven positive about Hereford as the site for
their plant.
The impact on the local economy could not
have been better limed. Estimates oi a $8 to
$10 million payroll should fuel the local
economy and benefit every individual in the
county.
Based on chamber figures of how a dollar
turns over in the communitv. the plant should
increase bank deposits by a million dollars a
year, give a million-dollar boost to retail sales,
add about 300 more indirect jobs, increase real
estate and auto sales, and many more
benefits.
Swift found a warm welcome from a host of
citizens. The < ompany leaders appear excited
and enthused about locating a plant here, and
they are putting in a first-class operation.
I very indication points to something the com-
munity can vfew with great pride in the future.
We extend a warm and cordial welcome to
the latest new citizen - Swift Independent

will become a vital part of the community as
we work together in the y ears to come

training if he's going to eat
fish the rest of his life and
reduce the Federal deficit
And there's a more serious
problem I don’t know what
percentage of the population
is already fishing, but it’s
pretty large, and you sudden-
ly train and turn millions
more loose with poles or rods
and reels and the streams
and lakes won't handle them
ail So naturally this will call
for doubling or tripling the
number of lakes, at a cost 1
estimate at around 100 billion
dollars or more, depending on
what interest the government
has to pay on the money it d
have to borrow There's not a

Dear Editor:
In arguing for a job-
training program for the
unemployed, instead of leaf
raking jobs, a Congressman
whose name I didn’t catch on
TV the other day
Remember. give a man a
fish and he can eat for one
day But teach him to fish and
he can eat for the rest of his
life "
You reckon this is the
answer ? You reckon to over-
come unemployment all the
government has to do is hand
out 11 million fish hooks'
While maybe this has
possibilities, I got to figuring
the cost The cost of the fish
hooks, that could be managed
without any trouble Who d
dig the worms, whether the
private sector or the govern-
ment would have to be decid-
ed by Congress
But as for teaching people
how to fish, that'd call for a
brand new government
bureau As you know two
people can sit on the same
bank using the same kind of
bait and one will catch fish
and the other won't Cleariy
the latter never learned the
in fact, it seems that the
New Hight's defeat was
worse than the numbers
would indicate Many of the
Republicans who won re
election in the Senate were
moderates such as Weicker
Heinz and Danforth Had
these moderates lost the
Republican Party would
have moved more to the
right but the results have
put the moderates in the
GOP in a much stronger
position

and reporting the news fair
ly and accurately
What is the truth*’ Did
NCPAC and the New Right
in general suffer a major
setback at the polls this
year or did they score the
victory Dolan claims’ The
answer depends on t w you
keep score
Ai different times during
the campaign especially in
the early stages NCPAC’s
hit lists' targeted a num
ber of senators and repre
sentatives for defeat As the
campaign moved along
many of these names were
dropped when it became
clear that they would win
re election easily As many
as 20 senators and 35 repre
sentatives were named as
NCPA( targets at various
times However NCPAC
forgot many like Ted
Kennedy Pat Moynihan and
Howard Metzenbaum in
Ohio when it became
apparent that they were so
far ahead that they had
become impossible to catch
At the same time NCPAC
made perfunctory contribu
lions to many campaigns
inc luding those of virtually
all the Republican incum
bents many of whom easily
won re election Therefore
Dolan is able to argue that
NCPAC was involved in
252 races and that the candi
dates they supported won
in 179 giving NCPAC a
winning percentage of 71
percent
Hut in saying this Dolan
is equating a SI 000 contri-
And even with the number
of lakes doubled or tripled.
I'm afraid the shores would
still be lined three or four
deep with hungry fishermen

Why kill off Santa?
Santa Claus is coming to town if he isn't there already
in the department stores and shopping malls
Despite St Nick s religious orgins some churches have
always considered him an unwelcome rival of the baby Jesus
for the attention of children at Christmastime
Spoilsport as that sounds. it is in many ways understand
able What is not so easy to understand is Fred Rogers
bjections to Santa Claus
Rogers the great friend of children whose Mister Rogers
Neighborhood is seen by millions of believers in Santa on
educational TV is concerned that Santa Claus frightens
Mime children To allay their fears he tells them that Santa
Claus is just a man like Daddy decked out in red suit
and whiskers Nothing to be afraid of
But in thus killing off any fears a child might have Rogers
is also killing off Santa Claus one of the last and best of the
fantasy figures which gladden the hearts of children
Fantasy and wonder have pretty much gone out of our
lives sad to say Children raised on TV learn reality too
soon Take* away make* believe from a child s growing up
years and you take something away even from his grown up
years
An adult who can t fantasize because then* was no fantasy
in his childhood is the poorer for it and our world is the
poorer for it
To fantasize is to five in imagination in an ideal world a
world that for you at the moment has not been realized But
fantasizing may be th** best way to bring that world into
reality, for our real world will tend to take the shape of our
hopes and dreams providing they are vivid enough
There is nothing covered that shall not be revealed says
the Bible Jesus said He that hateth his brother is a
murderer Our most private thoughts and deeds Jesus was
saying are as real as anything done out in the open in the
world of people places and things
it would be good if we all believed in a Santa Claus who
knows if you ve been bad or good regardless of whether or
not anybody catches us in the act

government intervention in
the economy
in his latest book. The
State Against Blacks Pro-
fessor Williams argues 'hat
racial bigotry and
dis» rimination, while still
problems in many areas do
not provide a satisfactory ex-
planation for the current con-
dition of many blacks
Who or what, then, is to
blame for the lack of substan-
tial economic progress Dr
Williams answer may sur-
prise you There is not
enough capitalism in the
• ountry and therefore not
nearly enough economic
growth to allow those at the
bottom of the ladder to grab
hold of the first rung
Williams presents a
number of examples of how
intervention in the free
market economy by govern-
ment at all levels has squeez-
ed out many economic oppor
t unities for blacks One ex-
ample is tile much debated
federal minimum wage law
Williams points out that in
1918, teenage unemployment
was roughly the- same for
whites as it was for blacks
Today, black youth
unemployment is more than
twice that for while youth, an
astounding 48 percent
Dr Williams argues that
the minimum wage must lake
a large part of the blame-not
because the law is explicitly
anti-black, but because a
steadily rising minimum
wage strangles low-skilled,
entry level jobs right out of
existence, and the economic
fact of life today is that black
youths depend on those jobs
to a disproportionate degree

relatively open system in
Washington, DC in the na

the* taxis in Washington ar
owner- perated and th« ma-
jority of those owners are
black Moreover, there are 12
cabs per thousand people in
Washington, but just 1 6 cabs
per thousand in New York
Williams does not suggest
that an open market in tax
icabs is a panacea for the
economic doldrums confron-
ling the black community
But it is an all too typical ex-
ample of how government in
tervention in the marketplace
has had the effect of denying

what the New Right is doing
in the aftermath of Cam
paign 82
Most observers have
de* ided that the election
results dealt a major blow
to the New Right and espe-
cially to the National Con
servative Political Action
Committee (NCPAC)
Depending on which account
you read or hear NCPAC it

was involved
Not so says NCPAC

fact says Dolan Campaign
82 was a significant victo-
ry for NCPAC and he
tries to prove his point
through an almost breath
taking manipulation of
statistics
In a guest column in The
Washington Post Dolan
claimed that the overall
winning record of NCPAC
(this November was 70
percent He then noted
that in various stories the
Post reported different win
records for NCPAC 19. I

this an example of the
distortions being per
pet rated against NCPAC by
the big media and he con-
demned the big media for
