From the Encinitas Coast
Dispatch, Encinitas, California:
Three unhappy peopk called up
the editor last week. Of course
any editor’s ear is gluea to a
telephone receiver a good share
of the time. But these three calls
stand out because there was a
certain degree of unity in them.
Each of these callers felt incom
petent to cope with the cause of
his or her unhappiness.
There was another basis of
similarity. Each of the three prob
lems, distinct and different in
other ways, had something to do
with local government, and the
callers’ inability to cope was
based upon their admitted lack of
background knowledge of local
government, which all found un
duly complicated and confusing.
Before giving vent to a sneer
of disdain, you better-informed
reader, stay right there in the
“isolation booth” and tell us . . .
how may governmental units are
serving you, right now, and taking
your tax dollars.
Don’t ask us! The number of
“governments’* differs depending
on where you live. But it will be

From the Seville Chronicle, Se
ville, Ohio: You are not acutely
conscious of it until you put the
system to test, but American pro
ductivity is, if not slipping, at
least tired.
You become acutely aware of
this when you order standard,
catalogued, machinery items,
and they are not delivered. We
waited 90 to 120 days for such
material recently. Contractors on
public works ^resignedly expect to
wait a year for some items.
All the machinery in our own
shop is American-made—at great
inconvenience to us. We had dif
ficulty learning the delivered-
price, let alone the time of in
stallation. It was impossible to
see the desired press in opera
tion (one dealer tried, hut there
was no one in his organization
who could actually operate the
press he sold).
We can’t find adequate instruc
tion books for our machinery;
maintenance and repair is by
phoned description to the factory
of the bastard-thread compo
nents which make up the ma
chines.
But German manufacturers
will deliver an operating press,

easy for you to find out, if you
are interested. Just get your most
recen* county property tax bill,
couni the number of items, and
add three. The three extra are
the federal and state govern
ments, which levy no property
taxes, and the irrigation district,
which sends you a separate tax
bill.
Most of us took a course called
“civics” or something in elemen
tary school, a more comprehen
sive course in high school, perhaps
“political science” if we got to
college . . . there’s a question as
to how well any of it “took” in
a great many cases. Certainly
there’s a wide gap between tne
number of people who take such
courses, and the number who
participate in public affairs.
Most people, we suspect, auto
matically shy awry from par
ticipation in civic affairs just
because they are so complicated.
Maybe we would too, if there was
any way of ' voiding them in our
business. But another thing we
suspect is, that participation in
civic affairs is like swimming or
matrimony. The only solution is
just to “dive in.’

GEORGE WASHINGTON
S OME years ago, when certain
parties were trying to “de
bunk” George Washington, some
one asked President Cool id ge
what he thought of the matter.
“Cautious Cal” looked out a win
dow opening toward the Potomac
and in a few words, lacomic and
eloquent, replied, “I see the monu
ment still stands.”
It is indeed a wholesome fact
that the character of George
Washingto 1 is secure against any
debuking >, -ocess. There is a
granite-like lality in the char
acter of Was. ngton. So let us
pause on February 22 to think of
the great man who was “first in
war and first in peace” and to
resolve that he shall ever be first
in the “hearts of his countrymen.”
JUST A THOUGHT:
The measure of greatness is
never taken by length or width,
whether the subject be a man
or his statue. Each individual,
by his deeds and accomplish
ments, by the life he leads,
builds his own monument.
To do this, will bring us into
the spirit of the great Father of
our Country and help us to rise
above the stress and trials of this
crucial time.
The great Roman Emperor,
Marcus Aurelius, wrote, “In the
ancient mystical letters of the
Ephesians there was an item that
a man should always have in his
mind some one of the ancient
worthies.” Let us have in our
minds the illustrious man who
started us on the road to great
ness.
ARCHBISHOP AND POPE
jC'OR the first time in recorded
* history the Archbishop of Can
terbury and th-i Pope of Rome
had a friendly hour together in
the Vatican palace. Their meeting
has been hailed as a significant
event in church history.
Though reports of the conversa
tion between the Archbishop and
the Pope did not reveal any dis
cussion of distinctive church mat
ters, it is thought that the meeting
of the two church leaders should
lead to a warmer feeling and a
closer relation between churches.
JUST A THOUGHT:
Down through time, men in
high places, the good and the
bad, have shown that one in
dividual can alter the course of
history. This is powerful argu
ment for the truth that all the
“little people” of the world,
working together for a common
cause, can promote world
peace and understanding.
All the churches of the world,
including the millions in the Cath
olic Church and the millions in the
Anglican Church and the multi
plied millions in all the Protestant
churches could surround the earth
with a mighty united witness for
Christ.
Distinctive forms and ceremo
nies might be continued, but the
spirit of Jesus and the saving pow
er of the gospel could be largely
increased among the sons of men.

FOR
better
health
By C. A. DEAN, M.D.
MEDITORIAL: A child’s natural
curiosity can often endanger his
life, for in his explorations and
daily travels he may get into the
medicine cabinet or other favorite
storage spots. Such adventures
lead to tasting laundry bleach, in
secticides, polishes and medicine,
especially aspirin, and frantic
calls to the doctor, mostly the
pediatrician.
Pediatricians receiving such
calls realized they were not al
ways available or familiar with
the poison. They suggested a cen
tral point for distributing poison
information. This was the start of
Poison Control Centers.
In 1953, the American Academy
of Pediatrics established the first
center in Chicago. It met with
immediate success and other
communities moved to adopt
similar ones. The idea has spread
to the point where now there are
over 270 functioning centers in the
United States. Most are operated
jointly by hospitals, medical so
cieties and health departments.
Up-to-date information is sup
plied on all known and readily
available poisons by the American
Medical Association Committee
on Toxicology and the National
Clearinghouse for Poison Con
trol Centers, operated by the
Public Health Service. All have a
24-hour answering service wait
ing to supply information as to
effects and treatment of specific
poisons.
Familiarize yourself with these
centers, especially if you have
small children. Of course, pre
vention still is best and yoi
shouldn’t let your guard down in
this respect. However, if poison
ing does occur, knew the phone
number of the Poison Control Cen
ter near you. You’ll find it listed
in the front of your phone book,
under Emergency Calls.
BY THE WAY . . .
(Continued from page 1)
available to the troops? And, by
the way, American Opinion is
merely a magazine edited by
Welch—it is not the organ of the
John Birch Society. Also, it is not
being distributed to the troops of
this division and never has been.
If I sound angry it is because, in
Korea, I didn’t know what I was
fighting for and I believe—some
10 years later—that the men wear
ing the bare sleeves that I wore
then need to know. They need to
know about Marx-Lenin- Stalin -
Khruschev, and they need to know
about Patrick Henry, Alexander
Hamilton, George Washington, etc.
They need to know how Czechoslo
vakia fell—internally—and they
need to know that world war three
is going on at this very minute.
Don’t think that the 24th Di
vision is off witch hunting, or that
we neglect our military duties
here. We have the highest re-en
listment rate in Europe; the low
est number of incidents; the cham
pion marksmanship teams; and
the finest military tactician for a
commander that I have ever had
the privilege of serving.
I think you have the background.
The question is, what will you do
to help keep General Walker from
being thrown to the wolves? If
they get him, they will get the pro
gram, and if they get that, I’ll
have to quit the Army. Because if
we can’t preach the Spirit of ’76 in
uniform, we’ll have to get out to
do it. But do it we will.
If you want to join us in the
fight, help start a letterwriting
campaign to your Congressmen,
your leaders of opinion in the
community, the President, and pa
triotic groups like the American
Legion, backing the Pro-Blue Pro
gram—and you might drop Gen
eral Walker a letter of encourage
ment, care of the 24th Infantry
Division, APO 112, New York, N.
Y.
I believe that this may become
one of the crucial debates of our
time.

The traditional cabin in which Thomas Lincoln and
were married is housed within this building, ibe Marriage
is located on the grounds of Pioneer Memorial State Park, Harrods-
burg, Kentucky.
In thi central tower of a red brick building, cruciform in plan, at
Harrodsburg, Ky„ a bell rings twice each year. The tolling occurs
on two anniversaries—the marriage of Thomas and Nancy Hanks
Lincoln and the death of their son, Abraham Lincoln.
This temple, its 12 angles representing ,-th$ 12 aposUes, shelters
the small cabin in which the parents of th* Great Emancipator are
said to have married June 12, 1806. b
The cabin has been moved from
its original site at Beech Fork
Settlement in Washington Coun
ty. The temple enclosing it stands
just inside the colonial gateway
of Pioneer Memorial State Park.
Another account says Nancy
and Thomas were married at
Beechland in Washington County
in a cabin owned by Francis Ber
ry.
This cabin has been moved and
reconstructed in Lincoln Home
stead State Park, Springfield, Ky.
This building has the pulpit of the
Rev. Jesse Head—eccentric cab
inet maker and Methodist min
ister who zngrfied Thomas and
Nancy.
Whichever was the marriage
cabin, Lincoln’s parents set up
housekeeping at Elizabethtown,
Ky. It was to Elizabethtown that
Thomas Lincoln returned some
years later, after Nancy’s death,
to woo and wed his old sweet
heart, the widow Sarah Johnston.

Shown above is Rlackwater Falls,, located high in the mountains of
West Virginia. Here thedt Blackwater River plujtge
63 feet over a ledge, forming a cataract noted for its beauty. A scenic
land of mountains and streams. West Virginia also has a most coloar-
ful history. It was in West Virginia that ^bloody pkge^n&m the days
of our nation’s struggle for freedom was recorded on a point of land
shaped like an Indian arrowhead, -.
Cornstalk, ^ the' great Sachem
who played a * significant role
found his final resting place at
the site of his greatest-battle. His
prowess and generalship ended in
defeat, but it was also the source
of his fame.
In the 1700’s Chief Cornstalk,
long friend of the white man, was
leader of the fierce Shawnee in
a land rich in wealth and beauty.
Despite England's efforts to pre
vent a further colonization of
western Virginia, the Governor,
Lord Dunmore purchased two
tracts of land in the heart of the
Indian Hunting Ground. Although
the Indians were aroused,by this
invasion of their homeland, it
was not until a group of drunken
whites murdered the family of
Chief Logan that open conflict
broke out.
Chief Cornstalk vowed the wrong
could be avenged. Dunmore’s
army, 1,100 strong, was camped
at -the place known as Point
Pleasant Early -on the motntag ,
of October 10, IT’ljfc .the ‘ great
Shawnee and his painted warrior*
crossed the Ohio and approached^
the point between two watef*.
The troops were still .bedded
down for the night but the ele
ment of surprise was lost when
two deer hunters spotted the war
party.
Despite the exemplary leader
ship of Cornstalk, when darkness
fell—it was only on the Indians’
defeat although one fifth of the
colonial army lay dead.
The costly victory broke the
hold of the Indians on the Ohio
Valley but it was not until three
years later that Cornstalk re
turned—a peace emissary from
the proud Indian nation. Both he
and his son were seized and bru
tally killed in retaliation for the
apparent Indian scalping of a set
tler near the fort.
San Angelo, Texas, the “Queen of the Conchos,” is located in Tom
Green County, on the rolling West Texas plains. From a small set
tlement just outside historic Fort Concho, which protected early
residents from Indian raids, San Angelo has grown into a bustling,
active city which has seen development of vast oil resources and
growth of nearly 100 industries, in addition to the original ranching
economy.
^tere N' There
The largest primary wool mar
ket in the United States, San An
gelo is sometimes referred to as
the “moccasin capital of the
world,” as five footwear factories
thrive in the city. One of the larg
est manufacturers of ceramic tile
is also located here. But the city’s
100 manufacturers turn out prod
ucts in 29 different fields.
Scattered about the Pirmain
Basin surrounding San Angelo, oil
derricks rise from the plains, evi
dence of the black gold wealth
found there. The city is the home
of many oil companies and the
petroleum industry of West Texas
contributes greatly to San Angelo’s
$4 billion market area. Oilfield em
ployment is a factor in San An
gelo’s effective buying income of
$104 million.
San Angelo is recognized as the
medical center of West Texas,
with four hospita. San Angelo
College, a 31-year-oid institution,
occupies a 97-acre campus. Good-
fellow Air Force Base, completed
in 1941 is also a contributor to San
Angelo’s economy.
Water facilities in San Angelo
are one of the reasons for the
city’s sound economy and growth.
Two reservoirs supply a safe yield
of 21 million gallons per day. The
Concho Generating Station has
available electric power to support
continued industrial and commer
cial growth.
San Angelo’s rapid growth is
relatively recent. From 1940 to
1950, the population more than
doubled, jumping to 52,110—a
greater numerical gain than in the
city’s previous 40 years.
