Time to Talk Back
Since it was published “for private circu
lation’' amonjr those jrifted students of jrov-
ernnvent who will dejineate President Ken-
ncLi^'-S'-^'Pw-Prentiers’’ for him. you may
net have seen Harvard Historian Arthur
hlesinyer’s pamphlet. “The Hiji Decision
1 l ri\ ate Indulgence or National Power.
Hut you very definitely should know about
it. since the National Associated Business^
men--America’s, voice of small business—
SiH-s in it the blueprint for the takeover of
. business by goVernment.
l*rofessor Schlesinger calmly regards “our
national wealth and talent" as properly be
longing, not to those who created the wealth,
or to those who developed and employed the
talents that God gave them, but to the gov
ernment. He complains that the Eisenhower
administration spends "a smaller share of
our gross national product (a phony yard
stick if there ever was one)- on public ser
vices and facilities today than ... a decade
ago.” We have failed dismally, in-tht I ~ScRTes-
inger view, to expand our "social overhead,”
under which he lists “education, medical
care, housing, slum clearance, urban and
suburban planning, social security, provision
for the sick and the aging, roads, recreation,
water, assistance to distressed classes and
areas, resources and energy development."
To remedy the deplorable situation in
which a timid federal government has failed
to completely absorb state and local preroga
tives and responsibleies and has allowed the
misguided citizenry to retain some of its
earnings only to spend them foolishly on
"tailfins and television,” $chlesinger &. Co.
would simply revise the “allocation of re
sources.” In plain English, since business and
individuals are so stupid and selfish about
handling their own money, the government
will have to do it for them.
Throughout his pamphlet, the professor
refers to the people of the US not as citizens
or taxpayers, but as "consumers.” Obvious
ly, he seeks to create the impression that we
are all victims of a monster called “busi
ness.” He overlooks completely the fact that
ours is a business nation, that these consum
ers—unless they are doctors, lawyers, den
tists or on a government payroll — them
selves constitute the business community. It
is therefore especially interesting that Dr.
Schlesinger’s initial suggestion for increas
ing federal revenues is a tax on advertising.
That his first effort should be to deaden
the nerve that energizes the American eco
nomic system should be significant not only
to the National Associated Businessmen, but
to every last one of us who believes that gov
ernment must be our servant, nor our mas-
terd
Nobody elected this Schlesinger to any
thing. But he speaks from on high—and we
had better start talking back.

“Operation Santa Claus”
For the nineteeth time in as many years, a
dozen troupes of warm-hearted patriotic
and unselfish performers will be carrying
Christmas to American servicemen around
the globe under the USO banner.
Traveling by plane, helicopter and bus,
nearly 100 USO performers—who will again
include the inexhaustible Bob. Hope — are
faring forth any day now to bring a touch
of home to the hundreds of thousands of
soldiers and sailors for whom Christmas
might otherwise be a desperately lonely
time. . r - '„^***«*—'
Despite the ydiith of their prospective au
dience, the modern young ladies who will
"Turn Back the Clock” in recreating such
fabulous females of the Gay Nineties and
the Roaring Twenties as Eva Tanguay, Hel
en Morgan, Anna Held and Nora Bayes, will
surely be as warmly received as ever their
famous prototypes were.
And when Showgirl Naomi Collier, the
1960 model Eva Tanguay .belts out the red
head’s famous “I Don’t Care”—her GI au
dience is going to know better. Because these
players cheerfully forsake their own cozy
firesides and families and friends at Christ-
mastime; and because Stateside Americans
continue sending these glamorous Christmas
packages to those standing watch along the
cold war' ft opt, our boys and girls are as
sured a lot of people care very’ much.
To USD’s "Operation Santa Claus” and
the selfless players that, year after year,
make it the most unique smash hit in show-
business, our gratitude and applause.
as well as brothers, sisters, and cousins. All of
his estate went to his children outright, in equal
proportions, or to their heirs. None went to the
brothers or sisters or other relatives. One child
23 years of age received the money outright; since
the other was a minor, his share was entrusted
to the guardian appointed by the court.
The third man left a wife but no children; he
did have brothers and sisters and cousins. His es
tate exceeded $100,000 The wife will be given the
$25,000 which she would automatically receive
from an estate valued at $25,000 or over. In this
case she also will get a second $25,000. The re
mainder will go to the man’s brothers and sisters ■
or their heirs who are now springing up in all a
directions. i®
WILL# OLDEST LEGAL DOCUMENT *
Originally when a man died all his property ®
went to the oldest son. He was supposed to take ■
care of his mother and to secure work for any ( g
other children Then land owners sometimes died ! ^
without leaving any children; anticipating this,
the father left a written document outlining his ®
wishes or “will” at his death. These wills were ■
considered sacred by the Roman Courts, and their p
policy and purpose were adopted by the English ^
Courts and carried to America
COST OF MAKING A WILL 1
To enable your life’s savings to go as you !
would like, you should have a local lawyer make |
up your will. If it is simple, namely leaving to
your wife, he may not charge you more than
twenty dollars. If it is more complicated, leaving
property perhaps to your wife, in trust—allowing
her the use of it and the income during her life
time with provision for equal division among
your, children or their heirs—then your lawyer
will charge more. He will charge according to
the amount of his time you take.
Laws concerning the distribution of estates
where there is no will are subject to change. THE
CASES CITED ABOVE ARE BASED UPON THE
LAWS IN EFFECT IN MASSACHUSETTS AS
OF JANUARY 1, 1957 WHEN THE TIME
COMES FOR SETTLING YOUR ESTATE,
THESE LAWS MAY BE QUITE DIFFERENT
THE BEST WAY TO’ ASSURE DISTRIBU
TION OF YOUR PROPERTY EXACTLY AS
YOU WISH IS TO HAVE YOUR WILL DRAWN-
NOW BY YOUR LAWYER This also enables you
to make some donations to your local church and
hospital, which everyone should do. To provide for
the carrying out of your wishes, your will should
name an Executor in whose efficiency, stability,
and responsibility you have confidence.
The Kindergarten will close for
Christmas holidays on Friday,
December 16, and resume sched
ule on Tuesday, January 3, at
9:00 a m.
