Who succeeds?

Dear Editor: We are being swamped with news of why steel oil (coal is owned by oil), and the utilities must have more protection (tariff), more tax-free profits, more "mark-up due to inflation, expansion, etc., etc.” How about a research on salaries and net profits before increases are so freely given?? The stock exchange has many explanations for its downs (with other’s profits). Well, who are we kidding? Not the thinking public, not the poverty stricken farmers, nor the great middle class or the poor! We’ve just read that 26,000 farmers lost everything in 1976 because of our planned economy The year 1977 will see heavier

losses. Wheat farmers lost over 50 per cent of their bushel price since 1974 (from seven cents a pound to three cents a pound). Bread increased over 50 per cent (47 cents a pound to 60 plus cents a pound). Farmers costs still skyrocketing. Dairy farmers are still donating their total family’s labor They have subsidized the government (public) Sure, inflation made it possible for the older ones to sell out for a profit Young people wanting to get started must remember banks costs and profits come first. Some banks have increased their interest rates six times this year! It’s now news that fanners tave it tougher than in the great

depression (early ’3O’s). We remember very clearly how banks created scarce money and absorbed bankrupt farms by the dozen in this area. The public has “given continued service to our banks for 75 years”. Some ideas for your future: 1. Cut all expenditures possible. 2. Store ear corn in cribs from local timber. 3. Trade only where your credit will help in hard times. 4. Trade your products for your needs — it’s being done. 5. Buy more natural foods from area producers. 6. Very’ good recycled clothing is available from six local sources. 7. Fuel from wood free for the labor — and this fuel is replaceable. 8. Use wind and sun for some of your power needs. "We'd better hang together than separately”. Signed. George D. Weybright Syracuse Let us give, but be careful We are all aware of the many poor people in our World who are in dire need of even our smallest support. So many of us who are financially able to aid in this

cause have a few question marks on the subject. The Bible has something to say about the giver and his blessings. We read so much in the news and see and hear on television of this great need in this needy world. Reading and hearing about the plight of so many, causes most of us to count oiff blessings. In our house and down our way we receive every month something in the neighborhood of 20 or more calls for help from those more needy than ourselves. Again we think of God’s rich blessing to us! But we are not able financially to give to all these cryings out for help. Sometime, somewhere when we least expect it a cry comes crying to us that could not in any possible way pass the sanction of the Better Business Bureau! We, in our poor judgment could give to unworthy causes. This thought brings me to really what I have in mind this season of the year. This is the season (open) for spooks, goblins and hobgobblins — Halloween time is upon us. UNICEF giving is in the bright October air. Are we absolutely sure that the funds we give to the United Nations' Children’s Fund go to the right places? If we give to those who foster riots, rebellion and terror, and that could be the case, what could that

giving mean to us? Giving to questionable organizations is not good for the inner man! Let’s be sure we give aright! Let us give to worthy causes, but be very sure that the cause is worthy! What do you say on this? Clayton Mock 712 N.
