Think farmers, but as professional a farmer gets upset when someone threatens to take away the family farm? You should see Congressmen when they contemplate the possibility of losing! Jerry Patterson (D California) who was defeated last year, said, "It's like a death In the family." He said he read the book ON DEATH AND DYING, and found the description of the stages of mourning to be almost an exact description of what it's like to lose an election. "The first stage is disbelief . . . Then you go through a stage when you're angry . . Then bargaining . . You think If only ' . . . The fourth stage is depression . . . The last stage is acceptance." What's the greatest ambition of a typical Congressman? To serve his country ably and well? To be responsible for landmark legislation? To promote freedom and prosperity. Not on your life. His to get a "safe seat" so that he goal is survival won't have to fly home every weekend to keep the lease on the "family business" (his Congressional office). And the best way to get a safe seat is to kowtow to every group back home that demands a handout from the taxpayers. That's one reason that politics, the world's second-olde- st profession, bears a lot of resemblance to the first. men and Senators TJ?. Reid, The Denver correspondent of the POST, who used to cover Congress, points out thjtf the Founding Fathers never Intended for anyone to he a professional Congressman. Citizens were supposed to serve In public office a short time, the return to their former occupations, to live under '.he laws they had passed. Consider: Of the original 26 memtrs of the U.S. Senate, only four served two full terms; none sought a third. Daniel Webster served only terms (five years) in the House, and Henry Clay only five terms. Abraham Lincoln served one term. Through 1870, the average Congressman had served less than four years in 1920 the average length of service was less than seven years. Until 1896, at least half of every Congress was made up of new members. Fven in 1949, 30 percent of the members were freshmen. Today the average member of the House has served a dozen years or more. Only 9.4 percent are first -- termers. Of the 468 Congressmen and Senators whose terms ran out In 1984, 437 sought and 418 of those won. Reld proposes that all the members of the House and Senate swear not to seek when their current terms expire. Then they would be free to make decisions that defy their hometown special interests but that are necessary for the good of the country.

America continues to reap extensive benefits from that great program. Yours was one of thousands of communities that hosted one or more CCC camps in those perilous thirties. The archives indicate the following camp(s) was located nearby: Camp Milford. Many a CCC boy met and married a gal he courted during his rec trips into town. Quite a few settled down in your communities after the CCC and WWII. Most still talk about the "CCC hometowns" with nostalgic memories. relationships beGenerally, tween the CCC camps and nearby were excellent. communities Most communities appreciated the economic relief the CCC brought to them during those trying times as well as the local resource conservation benefits. In order to permanently record and preserve the history and accomplishments of this significant era in American history, a major NACCCA objective is the establishment of a CCC Historic Center. We need public support from all over America. We need your moral as well as financial support. Will you help recall the CCC for folks in your part of the country and tell them about us and what we are trying to do.
