Philosopher Thinks City Problems
Have Wrecked the Farm Problem
Editor’s note: The Philosopher
on his Johnson grass farm on
Aquilla Creek this week is wor-
rying about the big cities, but
hot enough to lose any sleep
over.
Dear editar:
According to a newspaper I
was reading last night, 90 per
cent of the big cities in the
United States are just about1 *n counD'y.
up and get a job in town. You
suppose they did and are now
running cities by the same
principles that failed them on
the farm?
I hope not, because the last
thing we want is somebody's ad-
vising big city mayors that if
they can’t make it in town they
had better give it up and get a

broke, facing bankruptcy, the
article said, although I’ve never
heard of anybody’s foreclosing
on a city. Who’d want to take
New York in on a debt? or Chi-
cago? or even Waco?
: As I understand it, it’s the
cities, not the city people, who
are broke, as most of the latter
seem to be doing fairly well, al-
though occasionally some of
them have to borrow on their
boat to meet the payments on
their color television set. and
some get confused trying to re-
member whether they're paying
for last year’s or the year be-
fore last’s vacation trip, both of
which they took on credit.
However, the cities' plight is
not a laughing matter, because
it has just about wrecked the
farm problem.
Back in the old days. 15 or 20
years ago, no politician would
think of running for office un-
less he had a solution for the
farm problem, and while none
Of the solutions ever worked, I
had no idea what they meant
was that they were going to
make the city problem so big
everybody would forget the farm
problem.
It’s like stopping worrying
about one son who dropped out
of high school because another
son Is now in the penetentiary.
Personally. I don’t have any
answers. It used to be, when a
man couldn't make it on the
farm he was advised to give it
As it is, most of them are say-
ing they’ve got to look to Wash-
ington to help them get out of
debt. I'm afraid they’re on the
wrong track Washington is an
expert on getting into debt, but
as for getting out . . . I’m blam-
ed if I know where they should
look. Certainly not at me. Did I
notice you dodging, too?

CONGRESSMAN
BOB POAGE
June 27, 1969
Dear Friends,
On July 4th, 193 years ago,
our forefathers declared their
independence from Great Brit-
ain. In retrospect we recognize
that this must have seemed to
the world to be a hopeless ef-
fort. Years passed. The situa-
tion of the colonists became des-
perate. Men suffered and died
but no one suggested that we
could not win. Our present
Great America was not built
without sacrifice and suffering.
It was not built by cowards or
defeatists. I don't believe it can
be maintained by those who
counsel that since we have not
been able to get the Vietnamese
communists to seriously nego-
tiate for peace that we should
“cul and run.” The going was
hard at Gettysburg, but neither
President Lincoln nor General
Lee or the brave me who strug-
gled there suggested that they
should quit. It is not the boys
who are doing the fighting and
nying who are suggesting that
f the North Vietnamese will but
hold on a little longer that we
will quit and come home — and
let the communists involve us
on another front where we are
not so well equipped.
Every military man knows
that the way to reduce our
losses in Vietnam and to fore-
stall future wars is to apply all
the pressure we can just as
fast as we can and to win this
war just as quickly as we can.
Our American soldiers are just
as brave as were those who suf-
fered with Washington at Val-
ley Forge or as those who made
that immortal charge across the
open field with Pickett, but they
do not have the kind of support
at home that these fighting
men of earlier years had. They
are vilified by sllmey oddballs
who call themselves “students”
and who talk piously about their
“rights.”
It seems to me that as we
celebrate Independence Day we
should recognize that indepen-
dence was not given to us. We
fought for it. We fought for it.
Wc fought for it. We have a
right to freedom and prosperity
only to the extent that we are
willing to do our duty and to
meet our obligations. It is all
very well and proper to think of
and to demand our “rights” but
to maintain those rights we
have got to accept our respon-
sibilities.
If there is one basic weaknes,-
in our present day civilization
it is the refusal of so many to
accept responsibility. As Robert
E. Lee put it. “Duty is the sub-
limest word ir the English lan-
guage.” The men who died with
Travis at the Alamo knew this.
I honor these great heroes. I
acknowledge my debt to them.
I do not believe that a nation
can remain great and strong
without heroes or without plain
old-fashioned patriotism. I call
on our people for a re-dedication
of love of our country and sup-
port of its Constitution.
President Nixon
Presented Trav
Harold M, Heimbaugh, Los
Angeles, president of Kiwanis
International, presented a silver
tray to President Richard M
Nixon in the White House re-
cently in acknowledgment of
the President’s long membership
in Kiwanis, according to Tom
Sandifer, president of the Ki-
wanis Club of West.
Mr. Heimbaugh also thanked
the President for his support of
Kiwanis and other organiza- i
tions in the “private sector.”
During the visit Mr. Nixon and
Mr. Heimbaugh discussed the
new Voluntary Action Program
which seeks to mobilize volun-
teer organizations like Kiwanis
to work with the federal gov-
ernment In the solution of some
of the pressing sociological
problems of the day. Housing
and Urban Development De-
partment Secretary George
Romney heads the Voluntary
Action Program.
Present at the meeting was
United States Congressman Del
Clawson (R-Calif.) who is a
past lieutenant governor of Ki-
wanis. Clawson, as a legislator,
is in hearty accord with the new
Voluntary Action Program.
President Nixon was, for sev-
eral years, a member of the Ki-
wanis Club of La Habra, Calif.
The tray which the Kiwanis In-
ternational leader presented
him bears an engraving of the
Six Constitutional Objects of
Kiwanis.

must fall” and it usually comes
