what they may get into because the huge sums they contribute to government have not prevented the servants of the people in Washington over the years from vastly overspending the government’s income. Eo the taxpayer net only must share payday by payday with the federal treasury, he must also accept responsibility for the government’s debt which was assumed in his name. How heavy that burden of responsibility hrs become is indicated by the fact that, of all the tax. revenue collected now by the government, about $1 or every $10 must go to pay interest on the debt. Largely responsible for that debt and the high level of taxation are wars, subsidies to special interests, welfare and other services demanded of their government by the citizens. All of these spending pressures are in effect today, although the war is a cold one. What all of this adds up to is a rising tread of taxation, an even faster rising trend of spending ahd-a constant increase in the public debt. Somewhere in the ascendipg scale of public debt is the destructive point of ;no return. * ' ! !* None knows _fust where that point may - be nor, actually, whether it already has been reached or ominously a\v r aits some millions or billions of dollars beyond the present debt level. Better understood is what happens when that point of no return is reached. What happens is this: Government credit sags toward zero, government bonds skid in value and skid some more, the purchasing power of the U. S. dollar begins to slide toward nothing. That is what an overload of public debt can and unquestionably

League of Women Voters
Regional Meeting
On Tuesday, January 28, at the Student Union Building there will be a regional meeting on voters’ service and finance. Two workshops at each meeting, which will be held concurrently, will begin at 10:00 a. m. and end j at 3:00 p. m. Luncheon price will be $1.25; make reservations with Mrs. John Ricketts, phone 572-W, by Mnoday, January 27. Among the topics to be covered in the voters’ service workshops will be uses for and distribution of the new “ ’ABC’ of Voting,” candidates’ questionnaires (particularly for local officials), and “swap shop” ideas among various Leagues present. It is very important that local presidents and local finance chairmen participate in th e discussion of the League financial picture—local, state and nation-
al.
This meeting-is one of three workshops instead of the one statewide meeting and has involved considerable additional work as well as additional expense. It is hoped, how’ever, that it is more convenient and also enables mor e local League members to attend.
Bluebird Meeting Held Monday Night The Gay Bluebirds met Monday night, January 20, 1958 at the Putnamville school house. We were glad to welcome Mrs. Walker, our leader, back from her trip. We were also glad to have a new member from Reelsvlile, her name is Marie Kester. A short business meeting was held and then Jean Cromwell, our assistant leader, helped us make pencil-holders. We took colored paper and decorated our tin cans. For special design w-e cut out letters so we could put our names on our cans. We also haxl bluebirds. trees, and hearts to deco-
rate them.
Pat Sampsel had a birthday last Saturday so she had a party. We played games and had some delicious refreshments. I am pretty sure that all the Bluebirds had a wonderful time.
