This means that unless we have some direct means of communication TV APPEARANCE INCREASES MAIL Some times the mail will vary because of a particular event. For example, on April 14 I appeared on a television program and de bated the subject of federal aid to education with Senator Case, of New Jersey. Since that ap- with constituents, we are likely , _ ,o touch with the thinking ot 1" the people in the States. 1 cannot imagine anything worse than failing to have suffic ient communication with the peo ple of South Carolina—and other states, too . . . I am happy to say* that many created flow of letters urging me to continue my fight against fed eral aid to education. I receive mail dealing with many topics other than legisla tion. I am- always glad to assist constituents in every way pos sible and to provide them with citizens have taken the time and ^ information or assistance t.hev trouble to write me since Cnn-; uest gress convened in January'. Many! let to Ei. come to my office in LEGISLATION IS Washington every day. I believe SENATOR'S MAIN JOB ' they have provided me with a However. Ithe prinicipal job of reasonable ' basis for knowing a Senator is that of legislation whafynn are th!nkmg*Sbout and-~i«>d—representing the interests of what concerns you most. his Nation and State when issues arise in the Senate. So, the bulk orf my mail deals with matters pending before the Senate or in its Committees. ' Thinking you might be inter ested in knowing what people have been writing about, I have had a survey made of my mail. I have included the seven major categories. FOUR SUBJECTS DOMINATE PRESENT MAIL It is quite interesting to me that four subjects dominate in coming mail at this particular time. There is less than 2-per cent difference between the first groups , of letters. ' Leading the seven groups of mail are letters I have been re ceiving on the advertising of alco holic beverages and the serving of alcohol on airplanes. Those letters comprise 18.6 of the mail. I^ess than one per centage point behind the first group is the mail I am receiving on economy in government. It comprises 17.7 per cent of the mail. Third, in volume, is mail con cerning proposals to change the minimum wage law. These let ters run to 17 per cent of the to tal. FEDERAL AID LETTERS INCREASIN G Fourth, and increasing, is the subject of federal aid to educa tion with 16.9 per cent at this time. Fifth, and likely to increase, if bills on the subject come up for consideration in the Senate, is Your Home is Your Castle! Are You Proud of it? Does it Need a "New Look"?

Next in line, in- sixth place, with 9 per cent of (he total' are the letters on agriculture. Seventh is foreign aid. Letters on this subject make up 7.4 per cent of th mail I have been re- ceivnig. MANY LETTERS TREAT SEVERAL SUBJECTS I should point out one other fact of my mail. In many in stances the letters I receive con tain an expression of views on several subjects rather than on just one. In the classification listed above I have counted only the principal matter taken up in each letter. As long as people continue to write- me, I have no fear of losing touch with the views of citizens at home. But without your views on the various matters which corns up in the Senate, I would find it much more difficult to ar rive at many decisions. FARMERS OBJECTED TO BILL During the past week, farmers j let irib know of their opposition to ' a bill, pending in the Senate Comrperce Committee, which would have required trucks to be registered with the Interstate Commerce Commission each year. Without the view's of the farmers on this bill, I would not have had i the necessary information about it to have held it up in the Com mittee. as I was able to do. When the bill is considered in May, I shall oppose it and try to amend it to remove the proposed bu reaucratic. federal control which I the bill now contains.

Perhaps sometimes, they are mere pro jections of our selfishness . .. hopes unfair to others . . . ambitions dangerous to our selves. But often, they are healthy, honest as pirations . . . opportunities which zeal de serves . . . victories which justice demands. Is it wrong to dream such dreams? Does God frown on honest hope and love? Of course not! Rather, God has given us minds able to dream, and Souls coura geous enough to seek the difficult—even the impossible. But the Divine Architect helps man to model his castles in the air,~aad provides the tools for their building. With faith and the guidance of the Church a man may realize hopes and aims lyhich a cynical world calls futile.
