Individual Freedom
A Must
In critical areas throughout the world.
Vietnam, Korea, Dominican Republic, Ger
many (Berlin) and others, our military are
*Vyn the alert” to defend the rights of man
to be free.
The Peace Corps is also working in re
mote corners of the earth to encourage self-
determination and a true understanding
and appreciation of freedom.
Thus, thousands of young Americans are
sacrificing to bring the fruits of freedom to
the world about us. Yet at home the Adr
ministration is furthering the substitution
of force and compulsion for freedom of
choice by urging the repeal of Section 14(b)
of the Taft-Hartley Act This would take
away the freedom of the individual in the
nineteen states which have protective right-
to work laws.
In the military, strife is always around
the corner. Absolute discipline and control
are necessary throughout the, line of com
mand. However, in business and industry,
absolute employee discipline by union lead
ers not only undermines freedom but also
could induce industrial strife.
Compulsion has no place in a republic—
every American should have the right to
work, whether he wants to join a union or
not. Freedom of the individual demands
the retention of Section 14(b) on the stat
ute books.
Selling LB/s Idea
We are frankly wondering about what
has happened to Lester B. Dill of Meramec
Caverns on US Route 66 in Missouri who
undertook awhile back to help out the Presi
dent with his “See the USA” program to
solve the balance of payments problem.
Mr. Dill, whose fortunes depend upon
the visitors to his caves, and being a pa
triot, went all-out, according to his own re
pot, and “put up signs all over” to call at
tention to his “Lucky Seven Point Check-
List for Americans.”
Presented under the heading: ‘See the
U. S. A.” these are: 1. No passports, 2. No
shots, 3. No language barriers, 4. No cus
toms inspection, 5. No food or water prob
lem, 6. No confusing rate of exchange, -*7.
No limit to duty-free purchases.
And to give his message an official fla
vor, he included that quote of the Vice-
President’s: “In this land you ran see beau
ty the likes of which no other country on
the face of the earth can possibly give you.”
Next, Mr. Dill had undertaken to urge
his seven-point billboards on the automobile
and oil industries, hotels, motels, rent-a-car
companies, resort operators, credit card
firms, etc.
So we wonder which bothers the White
House more—the money crisis or reading
'matter on our highways.
What America Needy
David I^wrence ia one of many
thoughtful writers who am gravely con
cerned with the govemmenffe eentteoed
deficit spending: Hue, for a time, may help
to create and maintain economic booms. But
in the kmg ran, it can be the source of
runaway inflation and fiscal disaster.
In a recant U. S. News 4 World Report
column, Mr. Lawrence said: "What America
needs is a comprehensive program of ex
pense cutting, along with a stimulus to
business which will produce more tax re
ceipts. Such a plan cannot be confined to
s single year. There ought to be at least a
five-year look ahead, with a program for a
balanced budget which would be accepted
as the reasonable reflection of a sound
trend in Government finance.
“The American people would welcome
an end to the deficit era—a total deficit of
$40.8 billion in the last 10 years, with |S0
billion of this piling up in the last five
years. The official figure for the public
debt now is dose to |317 biffion. It's the
biggest debt that any nation has ever faced
ip the history of Hie world.”
Babvon’t Print of View
On Mortgaging A Home
By BOGEB W.
Babson Part, Mass.. June 17—Young couples
today often feel that they are pouring money
down the drain if they rent an apartment or a
house. “Why support a landlord,’’ they say,
‘when our monthly payments could be building
up an equity in a home of our own?” There is.
of course, logic in this attitude; hence millions
of our young people are now living in residences
that they have bought or built themselves.
LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP,
IN HOME BUYING
Many young husbands sod wives today find it
is not- much more complicated to obtain a
mortgage and arrange monthly payments than it
is to move into a rented establishment and send
regular checks to a landlord. However, they are
often greenhorns in the matter of budgeting for a
family, and do not give enough time to figuring
out their income and deciding how it can be
made to meet all their living requirements. That
is why many counselors for young couples advise
rental of a small, reasonable apartment for the
beginning of their lives togethr.
In this way the bride and groom can determine
just bow much they make, after all taxes, and
how much they will have left over, after the es
sentials for living- If the girl works—as is often
the case today—an apartment is easier to main
tain. demanding a minimum of upkeep and
during the early days of adjust-
Thu period also should provide time for
account, life
furnishings to be
the couple move into their own place. Equally
it wiB give the young couple time to
ohat they moat want when they go out
to buy a home of their
What Might Have Been
There is a somber irony in the fact that
this year marks the 20th annivesrary of the
founding of the United Nations and that
commemorative medals are to be sold to ob
serve what is called International Co-opera
tion Year 1965.
That brave phrase brings back the high
hopes that were held the world over when
the UN came into being in San Francisco.
Once again, there was the feeling that was
born In 1918—that the war to end wars had
been fought. _ From now on the nations,
meeting together, would see that reason,
justice, truth and understanding prevailed.
We all know what has happened. How
modi of this may have been the fault of
tiie UN is a matter of opinion and inter
pretation, and there is no profit in ratting
ever tortured ground. But the world waa
never more disordered and that, tragical-
fcr, la true at a time when its roaoume
and incredible scope of knowledge are more
titan sufficient to make possible a dvi-
Hration brilliant almost beyond imagining.
The UN medal is n tribute to what might
is.
FOR HOME FINANCING
the tim» comes to go house-hunting, the
young folk should also go shopping for the best
place to obtain a mortgage. Possible lenders
will include commercial banks, savings and loan
life insurance companies, and mort-
In some areas, institutions known
co-operative banks and homestead associa
tions fall into the same category for mortgaging
as do savings nad loan associations.
Interest rates currently range from 5* to bet
ter than 6%. If an older house is under consid
eration, the down payment may constitute as
much ui 20% ta 33%% of the total cost. Under
certain conditions a new house can be taken
over with a down payment of 5% or even less.
Loans backed by the VA or the PHA carry 5%%
interest, and usually include longer-term mort-
down payments. It is wise for couples in the
market for a home ta discuss such matters with
several mortgage outlets before deciding on what
steps to take. Advice from outer, more expe
rienced family members or friends should also be
LONG-TERM FINANCING

paid out in interest Sometimes this prompts
young people to attempt the shortest-term financ
ing possible. This, however, can be a heavy bur
den to a budget, and may soon become a
bone of serious contention when the

trade on regular living requirements. Most fi
nancing specifies monthly payments for 10, »,
or 30 years. Under particular conditions, shorter
or longer periods are possible.
Generally, for young families of restricted
means, a long-term mortgage Is safest far the
budget, despite the larger amount paid in inter
est. Another factor ta beep In mind: If
is likely to be needed far repairs or child

The Romans looked upon Juno as the queen of the
goddesses because she was the wife of Jupiter, the Ro
mans’ chief god.
Juno was the special diety of women, ahd of mar
riage. She also was known as the goddess of good
counsel and in this capacity was referred to as Juno
Moneta, “moneta” being derived from the Latin verb
“monere”—to advise.
The mint where the Romans made coins was locat
ed in the temple or shrine of Juno Moneta. The coins
thus acquired the name “moneta.”
The word passed into Old French as “moneae” and
into Middle English as “moneye.” The final “e” was
dropped, resulting in the present-day word “money.”
