ORIAL 1 lie is not so different i few people we meet today remind the young man who lived with his is in an FHA housing development, ttended public schools and partook of the school lunch, part of which upplemented by the government. He prafted, received clothes, food and lod- - " 'from the government. Upon his dis-h- e had his National Life insurance. y ater he enrolled in a state university J I eceived a job at the state capitol to mcnt his G.I. check. )l Wpon graduation he married a public nurse, bought a farm with an FHA and obtained emergency feed from Dvcmment. Then with a loan from Business Administration, he went Elnall off his farm loan, he put part ground under the soil bank plan. He t a ranch for his parents with a G.I. j loan and they lived comfortably on their Social Security. The government helped clear the land on his farm. The county agent showed him how to terrace it. Then the govern-ment paid part of the cost of a pond and stocked it with fish, and guaranteed him a sale for his farm products. As a community leader, he was influ-ential in getting federal aid to develop an industry to help the community. He was also successful in getting a new post office constructed as well as a dam to give the city cheap electricity. Then one day, he wrote his congressman the following letter: "I wish to protest excessive government spending and high taxes. I think people should stand on their own two feet without expecting or taking government hand-out- s. I believe in rugged individualism. I am opposed to all socialistic trends. I demand a return to the principals of our Constitu-tion." American Legion seeks sponsors for Boys Staters The Springville American Legion post is seeking spon-sors for 1961 Boys State dele-gates, according to Paul Beals, who has been appointed chair-man of the project this year. Boys State will be held at the Utah State University, Lo-gan, July 8 to 15. A list of boys from junior class of the high school who qualify as candidates have been submitted to the Legion and from the list the sponsors may select a boy or boys. Last year, Springville sent a total of 18 boys and it is expected a similar number will go this year, Mr. Beals stated. The cost is $35 per boy and $5 for transportation. Those who desire to spon-sor a boy or boys are asked to contact Mr. Beals or the Le-gion post commander Dean Ha-fe-before the deadline May 2. To qualify for Boys State, the student must maintain a B grade average and must also pass a physical examination, after July 5. They must be physically fit to participate in an active program in which some 500 boys will take part. The purpose of Boys State is to teach the youth of to-day, constructive attitudes to-ward the American form of government; to show that the scheme of government has not outworn its usefulness and that all democracy needs is an in-telligent citizenry and a clean, honest, impartial administration responsive to the will of the people. The boys will be expected upon their return to make a report to the American Legion and also to their sponsors and to other groups if invited. |
