0ive Where It Helps
The Morris county United Fund campaign
will start within a few days now and two
things are important to people of the Naples
area when they make their contributions.
First, they should give generously, realiz-
ing that the United Fund will include all char-
ity organizations except the Cancer Crusade
and the March of Dimes.
Second, they should indicate the organi-
zation to which they want their contribution
to go.
The reasons for giving generously are
obvious. In the past, it has been the custom
here for each charity organization to make its
own solicitation. Therefore, it took a relative-
ly small amount to satisfy the needs of the one
organization.
Certainly the amount given in the past to
one organization will not be enough to cover
the needs of all of the organizations included
in the United Fund.
Lump all of the individual gifts you have
made in any year in the past together and
the total will be approximately the same as
will be needed from you by the United Fund.
Concerning the second point, there are
some organizations listed to receive money
from the United Fund which are purely local
community functions and should not require
the financial help of the entire county.
That situation should not be used as it
probably will as an excuse for giving less or
not giving at all.
A person who feels that an organization
such as the Morris County Library or other
groups on the list are of no benefit to our
own community and do not merit local sup-
port can easily eliminate their inclination not
to support such organization simply by desig-
nating which groups will receive their money.
The United Fund is not a perfect plan for
meeting obligations to the less fortunate by
gifts to charity. It is much more desireable,
however, than the many individual drives that
were necessary without it.
The United Fund drive deserves your
wholehearted support.

SAGE OF SULPHUR BOTTOM
A Dozing Man
Fights Inflation
(Editor's note: The Sage of
Sulphur Bottom on his John-
son grass farm apparently
has gotten his mind off Rus-
sian satellites and back to in-
flation. He's as much of an
authority on one as the other.)
Dear editar:
I found two copies of some
newspapers out here yester-
day afternoon alongside the
road by my farm where some-
body had dropped them from
his car and judging by the
ants in them, they'd been
used to wrap up a picnic
lunch, and I thought you'd
like to know that one of them
was a copy of The Monitor
and the other a copy of The
Dallas Morning News, and I
examined them both carefully
and found exactly fourteen
ants in each one, which proves
that when it comes to being
ant-proof, there's not much
difference in newspapers.
But what interested me, aft-
er I'd shook the ants out, was
an article in the big daily
about two senators on a spe-
cial committee in Washington
to investigate inflation.
V According to one of them,
Americans should be allowed
to have more spending money,
as he claimed the iactories in
this country aren't producing
as much as they could and
would if the people had more
money to spend. The only
thing is, he didn't say where
this extra spending money is
coming from.
According to the other, that
is just the trouble, the people
have tqo much money to spend
which in turn produces infla-
tion. He said if we had more
money, we'd be bidding high-
er for more goods, which
would only produce more in-
flation.
Now I'm not smart enough
to settle this argument, but I
would like to say that while
maybe this latter senator can
convince his wife he has got
enough money, I'll have to ad-
mit I must have a different
type wife. When I pointed out
to her that the reason I didn't
furnish her with more money
was because me and this sena-
tor didn't want to be contri-
buting to the inflationary spi-
ral, she just snorted and said
the senator could run the sen-
ate and she'd run her house
and it'd run a lot smoother if
she had more cash. She also
added that she'd have more
cash maybe if I worked hard-
er, but anybody can see thQ
more you work the more you
make and the more you spend
and hence the more you add
to the high cost of things, and
I'd appreciate it ii more wom-
en around here understood
this.
.What the women of this
country ought to understand
is that when a man is dozing
in his chair he's not loafing,
he's fighting inflation.
Yours faithfully,
J. A.
