And thus nation’s wheat farmers are in distress because end products of their crops is being used as a price football to drive out inde pendent competition. Of course, nrany farm leaders have long held welfare of American farmer depends on welfare of independ ent' business. In all nations per mitting monopoly business, the farmer always becomes a serf, or at best, a peasant. Dr. Herbert Spaugh Everyday Counselor -A* There are many people who are naive enough to think they can have their cake and eat it. At least they try to do so. One such is Alexander J. Brady and family of Cleveland. In 1949 Brady sold his 17-room, house to the government for $31,- 350. The government planned to build a Veterans Hospital on Bra- day’s, property and 13 adjacent lots. The people who lived in tho 13 other houses sold.to the govern ment and moved out. Brady wanted to stay on. So he induced a gov ernment official to sign an agreement, renting him the house at $1 a year, “until such time as the premises are .... actually needed for the purpose for which purchased.” That day never came, as plans for the hospital were cancelled. Eighteen months ago the government ordered Brady to mpve. He refused and displayed his agree ment. Assistant U. S. Attorney Russell Ake argued Dr. Spaugh j n CO urt that the agreement was invalid because the government official who signed it had no such authority. Judge Paul Jones agreed, and ordered Brady to move out and pay the gov ernment $1,800 in back rent—$100 a month for the last 18 months. “I don’t think there is any rhyme or reason to his position,” the judge said. “What if the hospital were never built?” There are Other people just as foolish and selfish, and their name is legion. In our marriage counseling experience, I’ve encountered cases where husbands have wanted to retain their wife and children while carrying on. an affair with another woman on thp outside. There are many women who wiSh to retain all the special privi leges and respect which have -been accorded women for generations, while at the same time clamoring for all the privilges of men and competing against them with both.. « There is the familiar picture of teen-agers' drawing money from the family till while resenting and rejecting the authority and pat tern of the homes ih which they live. There is the employee who works his 8 hours a day, but grumbles because he does not have the things his employer has, all the while being unwilling to assume responsibilities which will enable him to climb the ladder. I might add that there are church members who are unwilling for their minister to have a greater income than they, although he spent many more, years on his educaton, handles problems they wouldn’t and couldn’t touch, and furthermore, works many more hours a day. We all must learn that the companion of privilege is responsibil ity There’s no place where this unwillingness is more apparent than in the carelessness of the citizens of this great country of ours to as sume the responsibility of the ballot box and to take their proper share of public service. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ I ♦ ♦ ♦ | t ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ : i ♦ ♦ ♦ YOUR i BROkmva *.■ OhjfccCtae L PROGRAM Today & Friday Oct. 25-26 Monday & Tuesday Oct. 29-30 "He wr« so young...so eager... and I was so lonely...* Joan crawford AUTUMN LEAVES (Mtvrixi VTKA MIUS • 10M( CMtK RUTH DOMCUlr . / and CUFF ROBERTSON A WILLIAM GOETZ PRODUCTION A COLUMBIA PICTURE Slarj and Jcrtaa Play a?
