FALL OPEN HOUSE DAYS NOVEMBER 456

Table-of Comments By the Editor Invitation To Tyranny For a generation the people of the U. S. have watched the building up of a centralized federal government that now reaches into every comer of ? their homes and businesses. As a result total taxes have increased until for the average family they are now larger than the grocery bill. Only the people can break the stranglehold of a federal bureaucracy by. turning back to local government for their local needs instead of seeking federal hand-outs. There is hope for the future when a high federal officeholder Stresses the importance of local self-government, as did Senator Cordon of Oregon, who said recently: •‘Too much centralization of government can make the nation more vulnerable to Communist influence and is an invitation to tyranny, dictatorship and finally slavery. "We have come mighty close to that in the last 20 years. We saw far too much power exported to Washington. We saw bureau piled on- bureau, administrator added to administrator, control added to control.” “As a result of that piling up of power in Wasiungton. we saw the Communists, by every devious and i sly means, creep into government in high places, and we saw our most jealously guarded secrets in I atomic energy handed over to i Russia.” "We saw -graft and corruption | blossom. We saw an Alger Hiss. | we saw five percenters, the mink coats, the housing grafters, and; all the sorry riff-raff that follows in the wake of too much power too far from the people." Harlem Globe-Trotters Coming To Coliseum The world famous HarlemGlobetrotters will appear at FortWayne Memorial Coliseum. Tuesday. Oct. 26 in a basketball doubleheader. The Trotters will play the Chicago Majors, and the first half of the bill will feature the Toledo Mercuries vs. the Washington, Generals. We’ve got a feeling this is one of those enjoyable basketball double-headers you won't want to miss. I am enclosing a self-address-ed post card through which you may make your press reservations. The Trotters are limiting each paper or station to two press tickets, but you may buy seats adjacent to these tor $2.50 each. We will be looking forward to hearing from you as soon as possible. Lt.
