Let us avoid debt as we would avoid a plague. Let us strait-ly strait-ly and strictly live within our Income In-come and save a little." J. Reuben Clark quoted in the Satevepost. Truth must be repeated again and again because error is constantly con-stantly preached around us. And not only by isolated individuals, but by the majority! In the newspapers news-papers and encyclopedias, in the schools and universities, every where error is dominant, safely and comfortably ensconced in public opinion, which is on its side. Gothe, quoted in the Mercury. Should a physician prolong the life of a hopelessly ill and dying patient? A small-town doctor has given an emphatic "No" to this delicate and profound question oi medical ethics. This arguments in favor of bowing to "nature's wisdom" wis-dom" are now being circulated throughout the medical profession. Physicians generally feel their obligation is to life. Even if it's a niere thread of life that's frayed almost to the breaking point. To this concept, Dr. Martin Donelson, Jr., of Danville, Fla., replies that "life is indeed sacred but not sacrosanct sac-rosanct to the point of inflicting costly and painful indiguities on someone who has earned his repose." re-pose." excerpt from a UPI article by Delos Smith printed in the Des-eret Des-eret News. "The Peiping government has reported re-ported that two brothers, aged 19 and 20, were honored for being model members of the Young Communist Com-munist League. Their good deed: Telling Red authorities their sister was a spy for Chiang Kai-shek. While the youths were being lauded laud-ed before 1500 schoolmates, their sister was sitting in prison.

"It has been said that Congress will sometimes do the right thing but never for the right reason." Frank Chodorov in Human Events. "I was talking with a classmate of mine, General Franklin, who is President of United States Lines, the other day, (You know, they own a big steamer, the United States), and he said, they just passed a new bill down in Congress to build a replica of the liner, the United States. The government builds the ships, and leases them back to the United States Lines, and American President Lines, (they operate in the Pacific), and he remarked that the 'United States,' that huge steamer which holds the world's record for crossing cross-ing the ocean, cost about eighty-six eighty-six million dollars, back in, I think it was 1952. He said the new steamer steam-er 'United States' was going to cost $128 millions, and United States Lines, according to the bill which had been passed by the House of Representatives that day, and which I believe has subsequently subse-quently passed the Senate, would pay $43 million to Uncle Sam for this ship, because, you see, it can carry 26,000 troops and it can be changed over into a troop ship very quickly. The way they arrived at this $43 million was that this steamer, 'United States,' which is going to cost the $128 million to build in this country, could have been built for 43 million on thj Clyde in Scotland. As you probably know, the Kaiser Steel Company, which right now is out on the Pacific Pac-ific Coast where there is a $20 a ton differential against Eastern producers because of freight rates, is beginning to run into quite a lot of competition from Japanese pro ducers who can produce steel much cheaper than we can. Some of the automobile companies are beginning begin-ning to run into fringe competition competi-tion (It's not more than fringe competition) com-petition) from some of the European Europ-ean countries. Don't exaggerate that, but its a factor. The price-wage price-wage squeeze is a very real thing." L. O. Hooper, in an address reported re-ported in "Stock Market Comments" Com-ments" by J. A. Hogle & Co., May 27, 1958. "Nixon scored sharply when he attacked an unnamed bureaucrat in the State Department for releasing re-leasing unevaluated figures on mail to the Department in re the Formosa For-mosa Quemoy controversy. Around the town, it is widely rumored that Communist and "liberal" outfits have been flooding the State Department De-partment with a considerable volume vol-ume of mail, calling for appeasement appease-ment of the Chinese Reds. "It is known that the Communists Commun-ists have boasted of their ability to get 50,000 letters to the Government, Govern-ment, on any subject, within a matter of 72 hours. For this reason, rea-son, wise heads in Washington look for signs of spontaneity in the mail, discount mimeographed sheets, form letters, duplicates, and letters bearing a marked similarity of structure or wording. The Capital Cap-ital is interested in individual letters let-ters that reflect deep and representative repre-sentative feelings of the people at large not the sentiments of disciplined dis-ciplined pressure groups."

"Dear Ezra Benson: "You don't need to be told that this department holds you in great esteem for the long and pertinacious pertinac-ious fight you have waged to reduce re-duce the dependence of the A-merican A-merican farmer on Federal handouts. hand-outs. In your six years in Washington Washing-ton you have put principle continuously con-tinuously to the fore despite .some pretty obscene sniping at your policies, pol-icies, which means that you are one government servant in a million. mil-lion. Indeed, it would not be at all surprising if history were to judge you the most honorable figure of the whole Eisenhower era. "I know that in your case there is an inevitable conflict of two moralities. You believe quite manifestly mani-festly in the natural law, or the divine law (call it what you will), that should be the foundation of all good positive, or "legal" law. Thus you know that taking money by force from one set of citizens to pay another set for not raising wheat or peanuts is plain thievery, the mark of the Robin Hoodlum State. It may be legal, but it's still as crooked as a corkscrew, and as a good Mormon it would naturally be your impulse to preach a sermon ser-mon against it to the whole country coun-try from the top of the Washington Washing-ton Monument." John Chamberlain, Chamber-lain, in National Review. "I place the welfare of my nation na-tion above that of any other country coun-try on earth and when I must choose between the successful operation op-eration of home industry and foreign for-eign competition, I shall support home industry. "I pledge that I will work for and support legislation which will grant the people of Utah and this nation the right to vote for the repeal of personal income taxes." excerpt from The Lee Platform. "I have disagreed with, and protested pro-tested against, the most dangerous of foreign political policies ... I opposed and protested every step in the policies which led us into the Second World War. "Especially in June, 1941, when Britain was safe from a German invasion, due to Hitler's diversion to attack on Stalin, I urged that the gargantuan jest of all history would be our giving aid to the ALL THIS FROM COAL? k h 1.

Herbert Hoover on his 80th birthday, Aug. 10, 1054. "Pope Pius XII did much to shape the face of the West during ris 19-year pontificate. He was anti-Hitler anti-Hitler and anti-Mussolini in the early years of his rule; he was strongly . anti-communist when many Western leaders were not. He became a beason to the enslaved en-slaved peoples of Eastern Europe, both Roman Catholic and non-Catholic non-Catholic . . It is safe to say that during this troubled era the Vatican Vati-can rose to its highest level of prestige in modern times, though he could not summon one division of armed soldiers to back his stand. Certain is it that he made a distinguished dis-tinguished mark on Western institutions. insti-tutions. For he reminded us all that the real basis of those institutions is moral peace." excerpt from an editorial in the Wall Street Journal Jour-nal Oct. 10. "What kind of men were the signers (of the Declaration of Independence)? In-dependence)? Did they have their peculiarities, their foibles, their jealousies, their vanities, their selfish sel-fish interests? Of course they did and so do all men. The thing to remember is that when the chips were down, they were men! 'The piece of paper they had signed was not a thing a signer could squirm out of or explain a-way a-way later. It was not a vague and general statement of political and social principles. It left no doubt as to its meaning. It did not hint or imply or evade or mince words. In bold phrases it recited the political pol-itical and economic sins of the King of England, and it declared that the Colonies were free from the rule of the British government. aHiilliiiiiimniuiiiiimiiiiiihiimiimiiuuiiin I America knows j I its bourbon and its I I favorite is ,fMtlfei Light, mild 86 proof Old Crow by far outsells any bourbon in the land fl!!i!Mm!iimmuM!!mnnii!itmtuiimimMm!mmimimmmniiiiinw THE OLD CROW D!ST.
