Ford at Goshen — (Continued from page 1) billion. He said there is an 11 per cent increase in federal spending per year, and at this rate by the year 2000 the federal government will tax and spend over 50 per cent of the Gross National Product. “We’ve got to put a lid on federal spending,” he said, adding, “but it will be tough.” He called for a tax reduction for business and for individuals applicable in 1978, and stated it should be done before congress adjourns. “It would be a shot in the arm for the consumer and for business.” For Canal Treaties President Ford said he was for the ratification of the two Panama Canal treaties, stating it would strengthen our position of leadership among the 26 nations of the Western Hemisphere, where 400 million people reside. Such men as Admiral Holloway and General Brown of the Joint Chiefs of Staff recommended the treaty ratification, and have testified that it will not weaken our position in the Hemisphere, but, rather, will strengthen our position. He said the treaty ratification is in our national interest, and added that the Panamanians have a vested interest in keeping the Panama Canal open. And they need American shipping through the canal to support it financially. “Don’t Count Me Out” Asked what his future holds, President Ford said he is lecturing on the American campus circuit and writing a book. He spoke highly of America’s young people on the campus level, adding, “And I’m really enjoying it.” The image of brimming good health, President Ford said he is “not to be counted out” in the American political arena, giving substance to the idea that he might return for another shot at the presidency in 1980. “Right now I’m working and speaking in behalf of the (Republican) party, and doing what I can to bring the different factions together,” he commented. President Ford, a former U.S. Congressman from the Grand Rapids, Mich., district, was named vice president by Richard M. Nixon, when Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned in the midst of an investigation for his alleged taking bribes; then when Nixon resigned over the Watergate affair, Ford became the 38th President of the United States. He is the only president the country has ever had who was not elected to either the presidency or the vice presidency.

Publisher talks on Human Rights By GEORGE DAVIS Arch Baumgartner, publisher of The Mail-Journal and ‘the paper’, spoke on human rights to members of the Lakeladd Kiwanis Club, of North Webster, at their regular meeting Monday, Dec. 12. Baumgartner first discussed briefly the beginning of human rights in the Magna Charts of 1215 and pointed out that the Declaration of Independence and the first amendment to the United States Constitution emphasized the rights of people. The newspaper publisher called attention to the efforts of President Jimmy Carter to make the issue of human rights a cornerstone of his administration for our country and its relationship with foreign nations. He felt that it was interesting that the president, from a small town in Georgia where segregation plays an important role in social, economic and politicial life, should set forth human rights as a major issue in his administration. Baumgartner also pointed out that President Carter emphasized human rights in his inaugural address in January and in his address before the United Nations in March. Disregard Rights In describing trips be has taken to the Orient and Africa, Baumgartner cited several examples of disregard for human rights. In his visit to Buchenwald, Germany, the infamous concentration camp at Weimar, he saw evidence of denial of human rights to prisoners of World War n. Through his travels, interviews and news conferences, he observed how one-fifth of people in South Africa, Rhodesia and Uganda rule over the majority with little regard for social or political rights. He stressed that the white minority in South Africa and Rhodesia countries exercised strong control over the black majority. Recently when former President Gerald Ford was in Goshen, the publisher asked Ford's viewpoint on human rights. The former president expressed the opinion that it would be advisable to carry out the human rights provision of the Helsinki Accord. Baumgartner ended his talk by saying the human rights issue is at the forefront and the United States and other countries are obligated to assume responsibilities to promote social, economic and political rights to prevent conflict between groups. Chris Kober, past president of the club, introduced Baumgartner to members. Jay Boyer, president, was in charge of the club meeting.

including Syracuse, fought the blaze in sub-freezing temperatures. Cause of the fire is a possible malfunction of the furnace in the Hurst house, where the blaze began. Two other house fires that same night (December 6) caused $30,000 and $15,000 damage to houses owned by Doctor John Jarrett, on Kale Island behind Chinese Gardens in Syracuse, respectively.

Cause of both fires is a malfunction in the furnace. The Jarrett home was completely destroyed by fire. Three persons were injired in the Hostetter blaze and taken to Goshen Hospital for smoke inhalation and lacerations. On November 5, seven cottages were destroyed in Oakwood Park causing over a quarter of a million dollars damage. Several other cottages were also heavily

damaged in the blaze which called out 12 other departments besides Syracuse and involved over 100 firemen. Arson is believed to be the cause of this fire which raged from 12:30 a.m. until 7:30 am. The planet Uranus never gets any warmer than minus 310 deorM* Fahrenheit.
