Benson PRESIDENT-NATIONAL EDUCATION JROGRAM Seercy, Arkemee WE’RE FEEDING RATS IN INDIA People have written to me from time to time reporting what their Congressman said when petitioned by the home folks to reduce the size of the Federal budget and cut taxes. A standard reply from the Con gressmen whose records show an uninterrupted series of votes for spending programs to “aid” everything under the sun, goes like this: “It isn’t as simple as it seems. You tell me where you would cut the budget.” Since the budget is voluminous and is not seen by one citizen out of a million, the Congressman's strategy is City Permits Building and repair permits issued by the City during the past week totaled $22,110. They were issued to: James C. Lee, repairs, 1313 Washington St.; Ernest Clary, repairs, 1710 College St.; B. A. Buddin, repairs, 1806 Harper St.; Roger Enlow, locate trailer, 923 Cline St.; Jorn P.

Since there are so few in stances where results of “foreign aid” have been worth the cost and so many glaring instances where they haven’t, this is a good area to focus the taxpayers’ spotlight. For instance, in the foreign aid program proposed by the Ad ministration for the fiscal year beginning July 1, there were these items: $917 million in military assistance, $2,469 mil lion in economic aid, $1,617 million in “Food For Peace” funds, and $490 million for “other purposes.” The total is not a mere $3.4 billion as men tioned in most news dis patches; the total is $5.5 billion. Billions For Leftist Dictators There have been instances of effective foreign aid, but in the massive amounts that have been poured out over the globe in the last 20 years much of the spending has worked against United States interests, astounding amounts of money have been grossly wasted, and billions have gone directly in to the hands of dictators who subsequently have been shown to be working with the Com munists. Nkrumah in Ghana and Sukarno in Indonesia are prime examples. Ignoring the fact / that Nkrumah identified himself as a “Marxist,” the U. S. helped establish him as President of Ghana in 1957 and poured $159 million of our money into his coffers. Now banished from his country, reports say he has many millions in personal funds hidden in foreign banks. Sukarno received nearly $2 billion of our “foreign aid” after we’d used our prestige to install him in a nation he and his leftwing rabble had virtual ly seized from the Netherlands.

This year there will be many four-year-old Americans ring ing bells on July Fourth, who will grow up believing that this was always the custom. Actually it was, from the first Independence Day till about a century ago when the sounds of peace were drowned out by the noise of war, and the day became celebrated only with firecrackers and rockets. Writing a book called The Seasons of America Past a few years ago, the author un earthed the story about In dependence Day bell-ringing, and he mentioned that “it seems with firecrackers disap pearing we might well revive that early American custom.” The idea quickly took hold and, supported by organizations and churches and newspapers, it reached millions of people. In 1963 it was passed in Wash ington as Senate Concurrent Resolution 25, requesting that all American bells, public and private, church, school, fire, college and town bells ring simultaneously at 2 p.m. East ern Daylight Time on July Fourth. Some places now ring bells for two minutes, others for four minutes, along with many radio, TV programs, and even public loudspeakers in parks, race-tracks, ball games and on ships at sea. For the past three years the “Bells on Independence Day” project has been included in Governors’ Fourth of July Proclapiations, and this holi day which was losing much of its solemn significance, was re kindled into a day of bells ringing out America’s birthday, just as it was in the beginning. It has been said that a thing must be done four times be fore it becomes a habit, so this fourth year, for the revival of the early American custom of ringing bells on Independence Day, is a most important one. Perhaps there will be no great bells within reach of your hearing, perhaps you will seem to be the only one ringing a small handbell; but you will know that all over the nation in every state, millions of bells will be ringing out the mes sage of democracy and liberty. A safer and less noisy pas time for children, 1st them ring bells on this day, pro claiming it America’s Birthday. And wherever we are, let us remember this greatest of American days with joy and reverence.

These are hard facts; but they are facts. Rat Famine Needed When Prime Minister Indria Gandhi of India visited Presi dent Johnson recently he re assured her that India would receive several million addi tional tons of American wheat out of the “Food For Peace” funds in our “foregn aid” out lay. We have been sending mil lions of tons of wheat to India in recent years to “help com bat famine.” An Associated Press dispatch from New Delhi, by the AP’s foreign correspondent, Joe McGowan, Jr., reports as follows on the “famine.” “The millions of tons of wheat the United States sends to India this year will not equal the amount devoured by India’s unchecked hordes of rats. A health ministry report estimates India has 2.4 billion rats—five for each of the coun try’s 48 Omillion persons. It estimates the rats eat more than 26 million tons of cereal grain each year. The grain lost to rats would not only relieve the present threat of famine, but would transform India in to a nation probably able to feeds itself. Money Down Rat Holes “During 1964, when India had a record crop of 88 million tons of grain, she still had to im port 6.7 million tons of surplus wheat from the U. S. The in fluential Times of India, in praising the United States for its offer of emergency ship ments of wheat, criticized auth orities at home for taking steps to halt what it called ‘colossal national waste’ . . . One stumb ling block is the reluctance of many Indians to kill any living thing . . . Some people catch rats in their home by using a cagelike device, then turn the rats loose in the fields.” India has received $4.7 billion of U. S. “foreign aid” in addi tion to emergency shipments of our wheat. Isn’t it about time we quit spending billions, and send rat poison, along with an ultimatum declaring that until India rids itself of rats, at least to the extent of halting the astounding waste of foodstuff, no further “aid” will be sent? Production figures indicate In dia could feed herself. Our wheat, in a sense, has been for the rats, the survival of 2.4 bil lion of them while people starve.

Although “visions of sugarplums” may dance in this little lady’s head, she doesn’t know that the gift her young friend is teasing her with is the same gift her great-grandfather probably wooed her great-grandmother with in the early part of rhis century. The famous Whit man’s Sampler dates back to 1912, when the new president of the company ,WalterSharp, conceived the idea of selling “boxed” candy, which could be sold in drug stores across the country. Actually, Whitman had been sell ing candy to Main Line Philadelphians for 70 years, but Mr. Sharp felt the candies were good enough to be sold nationally. So, he came up with the modem in novation of selling a packaged assortment in a printed box. When it was time to rint the top of the x, he remembered an old embroidered sam pler in his home that had been worked by his grandmother. He thought that the linen background and the de lightful cross stitch de signs of birds, animals, flowers and the little red house would make a beautiful candy box —and that the name Sampler would be fitting. Another touch of this man’s ge nius was the indexed lid of the Sam pler. It was his idea to show where honey nougats or mocha cremes are placed in the box by a diagram on the lid. Through the years it has saved millions of pieces of chocolate from being poked or squeezed to solve the mystery of the center inside the chocolate. 6S The familiar cross-stitched top ped box soon became the best- known and largest-selling box of candy in the world. Today, Whit man’s Sampler is almost like an American institution. For what gift delight iryoce—from eight to eighty—more than a suipx box of candy?
