Peterson) have changed their name to "Eagles." I thought they were, "Little Angels" who along with Robert Welch, George Wallace, Berry Goldwater, Reed Benson, Mr. Peterson and Hr, Wllcken and fellow travelers, were out to save the world, and especially the USB (All they are really after is the $25.00 membership fee to join their radical organization) and according to Mr. Benson "no one will ever know you have joined, because ws do not reveal their names to anyone." Rather a secret organization, I would say. Mr, Petersons jargon about theDoves-th- e Hawks and "bring our brave men In Victory, Is really a marvelous bit of news. It would appear, that all we need to do, is to send all of the John Blrchers, with Georgs Wallace as their captain and Gold-watas his managing director over to V. N. They will get victory at once. Oust like they both won the Presidency of the United States). George Wallace when he arrived would probably say "now look here you guys, better have your fun now, cause when I get to be President you will be all through Me and my Eagles will swoop down er LOOK TOWARD THE FUTURE This week marks the change of administrations in many of the towns and cities of the area, and it would appear that the group of leaders presently taking office face tremendous challenges in the performance of their duties. A continued challenge which faces our community leaders is the matter of finances. Although this is an age-ol-d problem, it is becoming more acute each year as more and more services are required by residents of the community, and costs of these services are skyrocketing. The greatest challenge, then, in this area will be the adoption of an efficient, adequate program which will cover the needs of the community, yet does not include superficial or extraneous items. To meet this challenge, civic leaders may appear to some to be hard-nosemiserly, or a group. But if they were to satisfy every worthy demand before the group, a much greater source of tax revenue must be found. Along the same line as financial challenges is the need for some system of balance between services and community growth. There is a need for certain sendees in a community in order to insure a stable or growing population. City administrators must meet the challenge of these basic needs, regardless of the costs involved, if their communities are to enjoy an economically bright future. The alternative is decay and loss of population. During the coming decade, this challenge will require astute consideration by governing bodies. Many rural communities have lost population during the past two decades, but it is felt that this trend can be slowed or even reversed during the next d, do-nothi- few years if cities have the foresight and desire necessary to face up to the contributing factors. For some 30 years, the trend has been shifting the population toward the metropolitan areas. The last few years, however, have seen some changes in that pity dwellers have pushed toward the urban areas to shake off the big city shackles. As the cycle continues, many families, as well as small manufacturers, are considering the move to the rural areas, but there are some obstacles to overcome. . Metropolitan living has formed many habits with people that are hard to change. They are used to good water and sewer, paved roads, curb and gutter, sidewalks, good schools, easy access to shopping areas, and many other city advantages. True, they are willing to sacrifice some of these luxuries for the advantages of rural life. But our communities must be attractive and pleasant, and must be progressive enough to entice new life, or we may find purseleves in the continued trend toward oblivion. We feel that this area of the state is on the threshold of great potential growth. However, it will not come by itself. Community leaders will bear much of the burden in bringing about the realization of this growth. Under their leadership, it will take the united effort of every resident to reach our maximum potential. Let your city officials know of your feelings and ideas concerning your community, and thereby take an active part in the future. If you dont, you may find yourself among those who have nothing but the past to enjoy. and swallow you little varmlts up. The poor guys will then throw down their arms, stick their feet in the air and tell Captain Wallace us up. we are through, come tie What I cannot understand, Is why the Bs are so disdainful toward their own country and its leadership. Richard Nixon was not my choice for President, in the last election, but now that he Is President, I consider him my President, and shall support him as long as the majority of the People feel that he should be President. I admire him greatly, in the way he Is conducting our foreign affairs. He seems to be trying with all of the power he has, to bring the war to an honorable end. And dont forget Mr. Eagle Blrcher, It will be an honorable peace, if and when it comes. Respectfully G. B. Workman J. Dear Editor, Although many Innocent Americans have been duped into supporting the Vietnam moratorium, it Is an established fact that the Communist Party, the Young So- cialist Alliance, Clubs, the and SDS members W.E.B. DuBois are occupying the prime positions of leadership. Even though the supporters of the moratorium are a tiny minority in this country, they are highly vocal, have access to the press and news media, and are supported by several who hold high positions in government. The majority of the American people are repulsed by the nauseating and treasonous actions of this Communist-Inspire- d movement. Nevertheless, the alternate provided by the present Administration Is neither attractive nor reasonable. Three consecutive Administrations In Washington have drafted young American men and sent them to Vietnam to fight, bleed, and die. All three Administrations have stated they have no Intention of winning the war and simultaneously have encouraged American businessmen to trade with European Communist nations who, in turn, supply war material to North Vietnam and the Viet Cong. Even more ridiculous, all three Administrations have continued foreign aid to the suppliers of those killing American soldiers. Members of the John Birch Society have secured over one and a half million signatures on petitions asking Congress to use all its Influence to stop aid to and trade with any Communist-blo- c nation.
