EDITORIAL FALSE SECURITY I would like to trade my father for my rich uncle! My father has provided me with nothing but the right to struggle a rich uncle can bless me with security. The right to struggle means that I have to strive daily against my fellow 'beings to get a loaf of bread sometimes the competition is rather keen. Though I live in semi-poverty, I rationalize and say I like a good fight ' A rich uncle could relieve me of this economic battle and security would be mine. I would no longer have to put away a pittance for a rainy day, I would no longer have to sharpen my wits to meet the daily problem of existing. With security I could become fat and lazy, without initiative, without a desire to better my lot or that of mankind because I do not have to run the race. People today are trading their birthright of individualism for a rich uncle. They want security for crops, security of employment, em-ployment, security for old age. Security is wonderful but individual in-dividual enterprize and struggle has built a country where a democratic way of life could flourish. Our system at present has certain weaknesses but would we exchange them for the decadent society where inertia and immorality are the offspring off-spring of the lush life which follows security. We should worry we'll take the easy life of government for service Eome will not fall until tomorrow. Back-Log From Citizen News Columns TEN YEARS AGO Elmer P.

DEVOE'S LIBRARY OF COLORS IS AVAILABLE IN HOUSE PAINT Life With Congress Well, this past week has been a momentous one in the history of legislation and in the history of the Nation. A very important bill came before be-fore the House of Representa tives. It was called Trie axien-, sion of the European Recovery Program the Economic Cooperation Cooper-ation Act which put into operation opera-tion the Marshall Plan in Europe. Under the able direction of Paul Hoffman, the Marshall Plan has really made tremendous progress pro-gress in Western Europe. One of my friends, a prominent Utah engineer, flew into Washington from Germany the other day. I asked him if it were really true that our program means recovery for Western Europe. He replied, "It is amazing the speed with which rehabilitation has taken hold In Eurooe Darticularly in France". British Viewpoint Mr. Hoofman, who was Presi dent of the Studebaker corpora tion, accepted the appointment as United States Administrator of ECA at a sacrifice of "his own great corporation. I heard him give one of his reports, and I was profoundly impressed by his forthrightness, unselfishness, and earnestness in his desire to really help Europe get back on its own feet. When I first came to Washing ton, I was invited to a small din ner party at which there were international guests. I was priv ileged to sit at the head table beside a man who had been loaned loan-ed by Great Britain to ECA. In his talk he "let his hair down" and concluded emotionally with these words, 'Tor God's sake see that the taxpayers' money of the United States is out of Europe by 1952. We Europeans are agreed that we must pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps. We also realize real-ize that we will have to tolerate a lower standard of living in order to succeed. We appreciate the aid and assistance which your great government has given us through the Marshall Plan, and we want you to continue your aid this year, and then taper off the amount of money and be finished fin-ished with the program by 1952." Tax Burden This was the most heartening statement I had heard, for it will cost our government over $5,000,-000,000 $5,000,-000,000 for this year alone to support the Marshall Plan in Europe. I thought that perhaps the Europeans would get in the habit of the" "gimmes", but you can see their leadership is strong. Taxes will only be reduced when we as a country do not support recovery in Europe and do not support past and future wars as we are doing today. There is hope, then, that in the not too far distant time, when our humanitarian hu-manitarian projects are finished. that Europe will be recovered economically sufficiently that the great burden of taxes will be re lieved. I hope so, anyway. Let us all hope so. Sincerely yours, Reva Beck Bosone , Member of Congress Personality Parade rr. . "" " ,t . f . ' t K J T 'i ' '. '"it '" " I PHIL D.

Urging that veterans of, both world wars set an example of reverence for the war dead by wearing the memorial flower throughout the day Commander Bennett said: "Passage of the years has not dimmed our memory of those comrades of ours who served by our sides and who gave their lives for America. Let us, then, show that we remember them ana honor their sacrifice by wearing our memorial flower, the poppy, on Poopy Day. In this observ ance war veterans should set the example for all citizens. "Members of the American Legion Auxiliary, our wives, mothers, sisters and daughters will distribute the flowers on the streets on Poppy Day and receive re-ceive contributions for welfare work among needy veterans and veterans' children. Knowing as we do the great and growing need for this phase of Legion and Auxiliary activity, we should be as generous as our means per mit when receiving our poppies. "Members of The American Legion should be among the first to put on poppies on Poppy Day and should give every coopera tion toward making the observ ance of the day a complete success."
