posed appropriations totaling some |8 bil
lion for new domestic programs which are
primarily of a welfare nature.
More and more thoughtful observers, in
and out of Congress, are expressing similar
fears and concerns. There is a theory that # iw*ii
all this spending will generate vast new tax PofHll&tlOll &HQ tllC Pill
revenues and so minimize the deficits. But
it is only a theory, and unproven.
What has been proven is that when we
attempt to buy more guns and provide
more butter at the same time the dollar’s
buying power is battered down and down.
Then the people of small means—whom the
welfare programs are supposed to help—
are the hardest hit. Is that tragedy due
to recur once more?
The Right To Choose
Politics is one of the principal occupa
tions in a free nation. But a nation will
remain free only so long as the voters
control the politicians.
The people of the United States have
no conception of what fear of government
officials means. They have never been
herded into oblivion by state police for ex
pressing views in opposition to dictators in
power.
As a result, U. S. citizens have never
lived in fear of officialism. Under our
Constitution, they have enjoyed the right
to choose—the greatest civil right.
But politics has been whittling away at
that right and steadily restricting the indi
vidual’s right of choice in the U. S.
Therefore, it is well to read the words
of one who remembers living in fear—
where the individual was the plaything of
officialism—where he had no choice.
The following letter ‘To The Editor”
appeared in the Portland Oregonian re
cently. It said in part:
^Although my age was only eight when
my father was forced to leave Russia be
cause of persecution, my rpemories are
very vivid of the tribulations endured un
der governmental controls. Because of
these unforgettable experiences, the con
stitutional rights and liberties are treas
ures worthy of preservation regardless of
cost”
When you see a candidate for public
office, or an elected official advocating poli
cies that undermine constitutional safe
guards, states rights and individual oppor
tunity, turn thumbs down on him while you
have a vote and a choice.
Babson Park, Mass., September 18—A few
days ago the number of people in the United
States crossed the 195 million mark. Contrast
ed with the 4 million recorded in our first census
in 1790 that sounds like an awful lot of people.
But the population of the world now exceeds 3.3
billion. And, if we include all of North America
and Europe (except Russia), we Westerners
make up barely 20% of the world’s humans.
SHADES OF MALTHUS
Thomas Robert MalthUs was ordained in the
Church of England late in the eighteenth century.
But his fame came from his “Essay On The
Principles of Population’’ launched in 1796. In
this he held tharfhe world’s population expands
at a geometrical ratio, whereas the means of
sustaining life increases at an arithmetical rate.
Therefore, he concluded, poverty and famine
would eventually be the lot of man . . . unless
disease or war intervened^
For a century and a half after Malthus’ fa
mous doctrine, history contradicted his theories.
To be sure, famines and wars took their toll, but
advances in agriculture and a slowdown in the
birth rate seemed to mute his famous prediction.
Today, however, population experts are unearth-
in the Malthusian Doctrine. They point out that
the population explosion, if continued, foreshad
ows in the next two centuries a world on which
there will be standing-room-only for teeming bil
lions of humans.
THE LEAST FROM THE MOST
Such a picture, of Course, is impossible of
realization. Long before standing-room-only
would become the rule, famine and disease would
have taken over. But the facts of the world’s
growing papulation crisis cannot be ignored.
And the most frightening of these is that those
people are increasing the most whose food sup
ply is already the most meager.
Famine today would be more of a killer .In
over-populated India, China, etc., if it were not
for big food imports from Canada, the U. S. A.,
and Europe. Yet, these hungry countries are
precisely the nations that will experience the
greatest population increase by the year 2000.
For their birth rate right now is twice as rapid
as the birth rate of the West. Even as early as
1960, the United Nations projects that Latin
American people will exceed those of North
Ameriba by over 100 million. Yet the two areas
today have a population that is almost equal!

Anecdote
i
Persons occupying prominent places in public life
have always been the subjects of private stories. The
stories are not always true, but often are accepted as
fact.
Originally, these stories were not meant for publi
cation. They were passed by word of mouth, for many
of them dealt with humorous or unflattering incidents
. in the lives of prominent parsons. In other words,
many of the stories were no more than gossip.
A short tale of this type was called “anekdotoes”
in Greek, meaning hot published—from “an,” not, and
“ekodotoes,” given out. Some of the incidents were
published, however, and “anecdote,” the English form
of “anekdotos,” acquired the meaning of a brief ac
count of any incident.

first meeting of the year, set
September 22 as a deadline for
entering candidates for Miss
Clinton High School, prior to
Homecoming festivities on Sept
ember 24.

lar, which must be paid upon en
try of a candidate. A unani
mous vote declared that only
girls of the senior class be eli
gible to enter.
The ‘council also decided that
refreshments be sold at the can
teens in order to raise money
for Homecoming. The custom
ary 25-cent admission fee will
also be charged. Hie council
set October 4 as the day for
freshmen elections. Tommy
Johnson presided over the meet
ing, held Tuesday, September

Redwoods Forever
Controversies involving commercial use
of natural resources tend to become hot,
even bitter. Fortunately, however, when
all concerned with such a problem are open-
minded and reasonable, mid honestly seek
out a solution that is fair, constructive and
in the public interest, the difficulties and
differences can be ironed out. That seems
to be the esse with the world famous reel-
woods of northern California.
The cause of sound redwood conserva
tion has been confused by the fact that
there are two distinct species of these
trees. One, which attains great age and
almost unbelievable girth, is the Giant Se
quoia. These are the cathedrals of the
forest, and they are among the oldest liv-
i**g things. Virtually all of them are in
National park groves, where they will be
preserved for as long as they live.

S. Some see the decline accelerating as a result
of widening use of oral contraceptives, the antt-
ovulation drugs, popularly known as “the pill.”
To many, contraceptives by mouth are tern of
fensive than mechanical methods. But they are
expensive and require repeated attention to de
tail to be effective. Undoubtedly the price will
continue to fall, but population experts are con
vinced that in the teeming countries where birth
reduction is most important, the pill is the least
likely method for success. The simpler, teas
costly, mechanical mesas known as “the loop”
is gtfen the best chance for snoo—s. In any case r
the fight against the world’s hetes swamped by
starring humans has hardy bspm. If it is to
win over the pcwHettoas of MsMbm, a fnach
