THE CLINTON CHRONICLE
When Are
Your “Teach-Im”
In .Viet Nam there is a 24-year-old
Lieutenant named Ward S. John-
son. He is in charge of a platoon of leather
necks Lt Johnson is only two years ouf of
the University of Illinois where he earned a
(jfigiff in business administration,. His wife
waits in Moline, Illinois, for her man to
come home. He wrote her an earthy , letter
a few days back and suggested that she
share it with the editor of the Moline Daily
Dispatch.
A great deal of Lt Johnson’s letter con-
coned the draft-dodgers here at home and
the “demonstrators” who. protest U. S.
policy in Viet Nam. Since it is doubtful
that any reader of these lines falls into

What standards of efficiency can be
expected when government has a monopoly
of an essential service?
This excerpt from an editorial in the
New York Herald Tribune may help to
answer that question: “Ah, the socialist
utopia! In Britain, a disgruntled customer
complained the other day about what hap
pened when he asked to have his electric
meter (the electricity industry is nation
alized) moved 16 inches. Seems that, first,
an inspector from the electricity board in
spected his meter; six weeks later five
workmen arrived, two of whom moved the'
meter, two of whom watched and did
nothing, while the fifth set up a portable
stove on which he made tea. Then two
more men arrived, one to inspect the job
and one to put a seal on the moved meter.

part of the letter about them and focus on how to eliminate those nasty profits.”
the Lieutenant’s remarks directed to the ^
rest of us — to our indifference. p_i » v% • . _> « *.
“Don’t you know,” writes Lt Johnson, OHDSOIl S a OUlt Of V1CW
“that one thousand of our youths have died On Ways To Sava Taxes
in Viet Nam and that thousands have been
wounded?
“Will it always take a ‘sinking of the
Maine’ or a ‘Sunday morning attack on
Pearl Harbor’ to make you pull your heads
out of the clouds? Doesn’t that group of
babbling nitwits that denounce our stand
in Viet Nam arouse your anger?
“How in hell can you permit the voices
of a few thousand to be heard above youir
millions? Doesn’t the threat of Commun

demonstrations and teach-ins being held?
Are you too lazy to pick up a pen and write
to your newspaper editor? Are you too em
barrassed to take part in drives to get
clothing and soap for our Vietnamese
friends?
“Are you too busy to write to your
friends and relatives overseas L Are you too
self-conscious to hang a flag in front of
your home? Have you ever stopped to think
that your complacency may render our na

Tarantella
There is a large, hairiy spider called a “tarantula.”
This spider was so named because it used to abound in
Taranto, Italy.
The tarantula is different from most other spiders
in that it chases its prey, instead of building a web
in which to catch it.
. “V
From the 16th through the 17th centuries south
ern Europe at times was swept by epidemics of a hys
terical disease which produced in sufferers an uncon-
trolable desire to dance. The disease was called ta-
radtism, because it supposedly was caused by the bite
of the tarantula.
From the gyrations of thqps suffering from taran-
tsm arose a lively foBt dance. Since the folk dance
was based on gyrations supposedly caused by the bite
of the tarantula, it was called a “tarantella.”

The answer is that the course of events
