VIEWPOINTS
They give
Somehow it makes it easier for us to dig
down in our pockets and contribute to charity
causes if we know everyone else also is help-
ing.
Everyone dcesn't, hasn't, and never will,
but there are two groups of people who give
regularly and so quietly it could almost go un-
noticed.
They are the employees of the Red River
Army Depot and the workers at the Dainger-
field Division of General Dynamics/Pomona
near Lone Star.
During the past few weeks, we've had re-
ports from both of them.
Morris county charity drives got $886.32
from the Red River Army Depot contributions
and $1,623.55 from the General Dynamics do-
nations this year.
General Dynamics' contributions amount-
ed to 11.26 per cent of the entire United Fund
udget for Morris county this year.
Both installations, General Dynamics and
Red River Army Depot, go through the same
procedure each year, conducting their own
drives, and turn over the money to the organi-
zations for which the money is designated.
In the past seven years, the Lone Star
industry has contributed more than $30,000 to
charity drives.
These figures disprove conclusively the
feeling that oftimes arises that employees away
from Naples don't carry their full share of the
civic load. In fact, few people locally employed
can point to better records.
Christmas, a season of giving, is a good
time of the year to recognize the giver.
We are pleased to have our county share
in the generosity of Red River Army Depot
and General Dynamics home folks.

(Editor's note: The Sage of
Sulphur Bottom on his John-
son grass farm apparently has
his mind on taxes, his letter
this week indicates.)
Dear editar:
I found a copy of the Con-
gressional Record on the road
near my place the other day,
I don't know how it got there,
as far as I know there never
has been a Congressman to
set foot on this Johnson grass
farm, which is balanced off by
the fact I've never set foot in
Washington; at any rate, I took
the Record back to my house
and was thumbing through it,
reading a lot of speeches and
debates and what is called ex-
tended remarks, when over on
page 48 my eyes caught a dis-
cussion on taxes.
According to this Congress-
man, I forget which state he
was from, the Federal govern-
ment ought to drop what he
called a real estate transfer
tax.
That's what caught my eye.
Any time anybody starts talk-
ing about discontinuing a tax,
naturally you perk up. It's like
finding the bank made an er-
ror in your favor. I don't know
what a real estate transfer fed-
eral tax is, but if somebody
wants to drop it, let it fall.
But I kept reading and what
this Congressman was propos-
ing was dropping the tax. all
right, but dropping it so it
could be picked up by the
states.

An estimated 190 persons
will meet violent death during
the Christmas and New Years
holiday season, the Texas De-
partment of Public Safety said.
Traffic fatalities will claim
105 lives, according to the
DPS estimate.
There also will be 40 sui-
cides and homicides, and 45
accidental deaths other than
traffic.
Col. Homer Garrison, public
safety director, said the esti-
mate is based on past experi-
ence and the current traffic
trend.
This has been the worst year
in Texas history for traffic
fatalities, and the last holiday
is expected to take its usual
heavy toll.
"Operation Deathwatch", the
period from 12:01 a.m. on Dec.
24 until 11:59 p.m. on Jan. 3,
will see the DPS mobilize all
of its enforcement machinery.

The states, he said, need
more revenue and here's a
good chance to help them out.
If this is what they mean
when they say they're in fa-
vor of cutting federal taxes,
I'd just as soon they talked
about something else.
This is federal interference
in its worst form. It's not the
federal government's job to
help the states find more tax
revenue. Let 'em find it on
their own. The last thing we
need is somebody in Washing-
ton telling the 50 state gov-
ernments where they can get
more money, any more than
we need the state governments
telling the cities, towns and
counties where they can get
more.
It's been my observation
that if there's a new source
of tax revenue lurking around,
it'll be found, without any
help from Washington.
Yours faithfully,
J. A.
