Noninvolvement bi our busy modern world, our jobs require such interinvolvement with others, such cooperation, that when we get off work in the evenings its sort of an unconscious desire to be alone, away from others — noninvolved, you might say. Yet the results are startling and tragic, in some instances. We’ve all been reading of the cases of rape and murder, witnessed passively by dozens, that have been taking place in New York City. We’ve even read of how a store in Indianapolis, staging a going out of business sale on the circle, was looted in broad daylight of its entire stock — in the heart of downtown Indianapolis. Not long ago more than 50 persons gathered on the shore near Atlantic City and looked on stupidly while two boys drowned and one man nearly drowned trying to save them. “Nobody did a thing to save that man and those boys,” said a service station attendant who happened along and rowed out in a boat to rescue the man. “They just stood there and watched those kids die.” In other words, they did not want to be involved. ately to a man trying to jump off a bridge appealed in vain to passing motorists for help. “We were hanging on for dear life,” said one of the officers, “but they drove on like they didn’t want to get involved.” It was not so long ago when a bleacher collapsed at the Indianapolis Speedway race that persons nearby went on chewing their hot dogs while screams of the injured issued from the wreckage. They did not want to be involved. We have the same tendency right here in Adams county. We want to watch — we don’t want to be involved. Let the others do it. Democracy, and our country, absolutely cannot work under such circumstances. We as ckizens have certain duties that cannot be ignored, unless we want to surrender every right we have to propose laws, to protest injustice. When you see a violation, report it to the police. The law requires that you testify. This is a protection to you and your family; if you or they are threatened, the law requires all witnesses to testify for you, too— — - ——— Our three-man sheriff’s department, and 10man police force cannot possibly cope with all lawlessness in this area without the fullest cooperation from every citizen. Don’t expect the thief who steals from you to be caught, if you don’t help identify the thieves you see, or if you don’t report suspcious acts late at night. If we don’t help uphold the lamp of we can hardly expect others to help up when we are in trouble. The golden rule is always the best—any other rule is merely lawlessness and the devil’s own way, regardless of the highfalutin term that it may be given by the culprit who wants to save his own skin.

Heller, Jr. President Mrs. John Shirk -•Vice President Mrs. A. R. Holthouse Secretary Chas. E. Holthouse Treasurer AMIIM Consumers Get Protection By UA Sen. Maurine B. Neuberger (D-Oregon) The fight for consumer protection has been one of the toughest confronting the American people. Largely unorganized, the consumer has failed to

gain recognition equal to his numbers. Although a majo '--.ctor in the marketplace, the consume ~i voice frequently -had been drowned on' by the clan. >- of organised special interests. But the Johnson Administration has unleashed a program of action that will assure a receptive response in the future. President Johnson spotlighted the intentions of his Administration when he sent Congress s special message on consumers’ problems. He issued s call for a wide variety of activities designed to give the American consumer more value for dollars

spent. - .... Next, an Executive Order established the Presidents Committee on Consumer Interests and the Consumer Advisory Council. Then, he climaxed the move to give the consumer a real voice in the councils of government by appointing Mrs. Esther Peterson as Special Presidential Assistant for Consumer Affairs. Mrs. Peterson’s long experience and accomplishments as an Assistant Secretary of Labor and head of the Women’s Bureau assure a new era of improved protection for the buyer. The business community will be secondary beneficiary of these efforts, in my opinion. The consumer wants honest weight, good quality and fair value when he makes a purchase. The vast majority of producers and manufacturers share this goal. Unfortunately, the unscrupulous do not want such performance standards. They survive through short weight and shoddy goods. * Protection of the consumer requires elimination of deceptive marketing practices. When this occurs the honest businessman gains because a most unfair kind of competition is removed. Besides the‘government program, consumers themselves must take on the role of guardians against deceptive merchandising practices. Abuses to which the consumers are most susceptible include the following: 1. Fictitious -pricing. This occurs when largh price “reductions” are based on unrealistic high list prices. 2. Lack of grade labeling on many products. This makes price comparison meaningless and places undue stress on particular brands through heavy promotion. 3. Mislabeled or undisclosed contents of so-called miracle products. This includes cosmetics, nutritional supplements, patent medicines, and weight-reducing remedies. 4. Deceptive interest rates and undisclosed finance charges in consumer credit. 5. “Bait" advertisements. These offer a well-known product at an extremely low price without any intention of selling as advertised; they are used as a lure to • get customers into a store. When money is wasted on worthless goods, the purchasing power of the wage-earner is diluted. The government has a leading role in fighting this sort of waste. ft. < 1 i 'IS 4 ’ --i • '<’* - l&Lv . -*<***,**„ ".s'* ‘ *•< w t ' «>■. • iV f js. xf : I i , v I I H ■ • -I | : w -I Today’s bride travels with a fragrance trousseau.
