We reserve the right to edit letters and to print them in one or both editions; the preference of the writer regarding choice of edition. It noted, will be followed if possible Opinions represented herein do not necessarily represent those 0 f this newspaper. Dear Editor: After reading Mr. Ray Mizer’s interesting letter of Sept. 10, it is easy to see why he belongs to what he calls a possibly very slim minority of Americans who still believe that in due course Nixon will be recognized as one of America’s great presidents strictly on the basis of his accomplishments..’ Ignoring for the moment the question whether presidents are ever deemed great for anything else, if we keep in mind that one of Nixon’s accomplishments was the most sordid political scandal we Americans have ever known and the most wrenching constitutional crisis in our nation’s history, it is hard to believe Mr. ..'izer is talking about the same Richard Nixon who used to be our President. The reason Mr. Mizer has so little company in his fervent beliefs is that, in his own words, “I consider him guilty of nothing which was not fully justifiable in the light of the threat to our national security - nd the supercharged political and emotional climate of the moment.” There you have it. Where for the better part of two years it may have been just barely possible to maintain such a faith in Richard Nixon’s integrity, it is truly astonishing that Mr. Mizer is still able to do so in the face of what happened only a month or so ago. Where was he when a unanimous House Judiciary Committee <not a newsman in the lot) charged Nixon with obstruction if justice 9 Where could he have been as the nation saw overwhelming majorities in the House and Senate prepared to impeach and convict the man 9 Where, above all, was he when Nixon himself admitted that he had lied-lied to the American people, to his own lawyers, and presumably even to his own family? In short, Mr. Mizer’s admiration for Richard Nixon is urdiminished by the fact that he committed an indictable crime and that he is a confessed liar. Happily there are not many among us who are able to admire the kind of man Nixon proved himself to be. It is therefore rather plain why the minority to which Mr Mizer belongs is so slim. All that remains in doubt is which Richard Nixon he still "fervently" believes in. Is it the Nixon who said he covered up White House complicity in the events following the Watergate burglary for reasons of national security? Or is it the Nixon who admitted that he lied when he said that and other things “at variance” with the r a.o? On the strength of Mr. Mizer's letter one can suppose only that in the factual void in which he seems content to reside, it doesn't make a ■>hole lot of difference. As Nixon has at least partially condemned himself out of his own mouth and has further confirmed his guilt by accepting President Ford’s

pardon, the only points on which reasonable men may now disagree, I believe, are whether Nixon should have been pardoned at all for what he did, and if so, when that pardon should have been extended. For my part, I suspect that our settled judgment as a nation will be that at the very least the timing of the pardon was a tragic mistake. I believe also that there is a very strong case for no pardon at all-that Nixon deserves to be treated like any other citizen. But dealing with those weighty issues would require another letter.

Goodwill-

Continuedfrom page one

previously Goodwill was a supplier to antique dealers, but with the popularity of antiques today, they have become obsolet. “People are holding on to what they’ve got now.” The success of Goodwill today is thought to be due to the high cost of living, stated Mrs. Graham. She feels that epople are becoming more “educated” and they are “watching their dollars and cents” and are “proud of saving a few dollars.”

A Little Of: This And That

My good friend, William A. Patterson, Poplar Street, will observe his 90th birthday on Wednesday, September 18th. Here’s a Happy Birthdaygreeting in advance Bill. I am sure you will get a lot of cards from your many, many friends. 000 Certainly enjoyed a visit with my high school basketball teammate, Eugene Peck, and his wife, Metta, this week at the Elks Club. Peckie is president of the General Construction Company at Michigan City. He is considering coming back to Greencastle to live when he retires. 000 As of yesterday Indiana’s highway toll stood at 803 which is by no means good news. On the other hand, there is good news due to the fact that this toll is 339 less than at the same time in 1973 when the Hoosier road death toll was 1,142. 000 How did all of you superstitious people get along yesterday? It was Friday the Thirteenth! I didn’t see any black cats, walk under a ladder or break a mirror. Yep, I’m superstitious too. 000 DID YOU KNOW: I^go Lauricocha, a small mountain lake, is the actual source of the world’s largest river the Amazon. 000 The kola bear gets its name from an Australian aborigine word that means “no drink,” for the kola bear never drinks water; it gets the moisture it needs from its only food, the leaves of the eucalptus tree. 000 Linen is the fabric or yam made from the fiber of flax. Probably the earliest vegetable fiber in use, linen has been found in Egyptians tombs more than 3,500 years old. “ItWavMFor All" Bann«r-Graphic Consolidation of THt Daily Bannor Established 1850 Tho Horald The Daily Graphic Established 1883 Telephone 653-5 151 Dr. Mary Tarzian, Publisher PwbJilhMl #v*ry morning ond ovoning oscopt Sunday* and Holiday* by LuMar Nowipapor*.

because ot the state of the economy, she said. No large appliances will be handled through the local store, but any type of furniture or clothing is accepted. The truck will be in town every Tuesday to make house pickups. Even worn or torn clothing is acceptable, because it can be used for patches and quilt blocks. Merchants can also donate unsaleable clothing to Goodwill and get fair market value. All income from items goes directly into a bank and is solely used for paychecks. Prices on items are decided by the name brand, quality of item, style and fair price. The highest that an item in Goodwill runs is one-third the original value, but according to Mrs. Graham, this is something of “exceptional value.” She mentioned that many items now a days are not very expensive to begin with, and thus are able to sell at a small price. Goodwill is a world-wide organization that was begun in 1908 by a minister of a small church in Boston, Mass. Other stores in the Greencastle district include: Marshall, 111., Linton, Ind., Paris, 111., Robinson, 111., Brazil, Ind., Ci< .i, Ind., Terre iaute and W-i. lerre Haute. Located at 21 N. Indiana St., the Greencastle store is open from 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Area residents desiring pick-ups made at their home may call the store at 653-6587. Contributions may also be brought into the Goodwill Store.

Moore, president of Bonner & Moore Associates, Houston. Ikard will analyze critical factors in the long-range outlook, prospects for alternate supplies of energy and the role of profits in the energy picture. He also will explore legislative proposals by Congress for their impact on the industry. Douce will report on gasoline supply and demand in the immediate future and reactions to federal price controls. Thompson, experienced in foreign affairs, was press secretary-the last in that office~to former Vice-President Spiro Agnew. An advocate of the free enterprise system, McCowan believes that if Congress insists on controls for the industry' each refiner and marketer should be given his fair share of crude oil available. Moore will attempt to predict the oil marketing future taking into consideration economics, regulatory aspects and technological advances affecting the industry./

Here is a hand from the 1961 Bridge Olympic contest. The directed contract was six notrump, to be played by South against the queen of diamonds lead. With East showing out on the diamond lead and West showing out on the first club lead, and also in the light of the bidding, declarer learns fairly soon how the opponents’ cards are divided. The hand then becomes an exercise in good card play,

South making twelve tricks against any method of defense. He wins the diamond lead with the king and cashes four clubs and the ace of hearts. He then leads the ace of spades, being careful to play the queen from dummy, at which point this becomes the position: North A K 10 V K 6 5 ♦ 8 West East V Q J io Inunaterial ♦ J 10 9 South A J 9 ♦ A 5 4 2 The lead of the nine of spades forces West to part with either a heart or a diamond, and South’s play from dummy depends on what West plays. If West discards a heart, declarer wins the spade with the ten and plays the K-x of hearts to make the slam. If West discards a diamond, declarer wins the spade with the king and plays the A-x of diamonds to make the slam. The spade combination is the key to the hand. Declarer handles the suit in a manner that foreps West to commit himself before declarer exercises the option of which suit he will establish.

Inside Education By Dr. John Coomer Cynical. Apathetic. Optimistic. Rebellious. Thoughtful. Cooperative. Serious. What IS the mood of youth in the America of the Seventies? As students return to school this fall, high school principals, teachers, and parents are looking eagerly for answers. Many of them are revealed in the Mood of American Youth, a recent study by the National Association of Secondarv School Principals and the Gilbert Youth Research Corp. of New York. Interviews with high school students throughout the nation probed their attitudes on education, work, school activities, parents and family, marriage, politics, religion, the use of leisure time, and the future of .American society. The survey shows that students today are cautiously optimistic about their life as adults of the Eighties. Young people feel: -that their schools are providing them with a satisfactory education.(77 percent) 99 percent plan to finish high school. -that high school students should have theDpportunity to work part-time during the school year (84 percent). - that happiness at home (92 percent) is more important than fame (less than 2 percent); a good family life attracts far more high school students (74 percent) than a lifetime of interesting experiences (25 percent). - that participation in politics is distasteful, but that voting is a civic responsibility; 78 percent plan to vote in every election for which they’re eligible, but only one in ten would be willing to run for public office. - that social reform should be accomplished peacefully through community service rather than radical upheaval; 43 percent are already involved in community service; 59 percent would like to be more involved, and over 40 percent plan to expland or continue their involvement after high school. - that goals are important and that hard work will be necessary to achieve them (95 percent). -that those goals will center around completing an education (35 percent), finding a job (52 percent), and settling into marriage and a family (46 percent). -that most difficulties with their parents are a result of communication problems, rather than deep philosophical divisions. Ivess than 5 percent of the students expressed strong disagreement with their parents’ ideas on politics, clothing styles, choice of friends, religion, education, drugs, and work. -thatoverpopulation (23 percent) and ecology (36 percent) are today’s two most important global issues; poverty (20 percent) and the threat of a third world war (21 percent) were also much on students’ minds. - that political change can be accomplished by working within the government. Over 50 percent feel that the present constitutional government serves U.S. citizens well; less than 6 percent said it should be abolished in favor of another form. While these are national averages we would hold that they are applicable to this area. It is our feeling that they point to a healthy trend.

Law won't allow her to get pregnant By Abigail Van Buren c 1»74 b» Chicago Tribunt-N. Y. News Srnil., Iite.

DEAR ABBY: I am an adult, unmarried woman. 1 feel that I can get along without a husband if the right one never comes along. I want a child, but I don't want to adopt one. I want to experience bearing a child I have spent many hours on the phone talking to doctors and hospitals about artificial insemination, but they all refuse to accept me because I am not married. They say it is the "law.'' Abby, why? 1 am healthy, well-adjusted and can well afford to raise a child. 1 have even taken courses in child care and child psychology. Above all. I love children and know I would make a good mother. Some girls fool around and get pregnant. I have never fooled around, and I wouldn’t do it even for the purpose of having a child, but the law says 1 can't have artificial insemination because I am not married. That's discrimination. I am willing to go anywhere in the U.S.A., but it would be much more convenient if I could have it done near here. Please help me. CHILDLESS IN' MICHIGAN DEAR CHILDLESS: Ask a lawyer to tell you if there is any state that allows an unmarried woman to have artificial insemination. If there is none, you are out of luck. I agree, it's discriminatory and archaic. It assumes that a child cannot be successfully reared by one parent —a fallacy, as widows, divorcees and single fathers have proven.
