He concentrated on agriculture in an age captivated by the back when the auto waa jore making its sputtering challenge big for control of the roads, but a half century and more since the horseless carriage's apparently total victory more and more Americans are now doing exactly that. We have the Department o? word for it that there has been a significant upswing in the nation's horse population in recent years a doubling, in fact, to an estimated seven million in the last six years alone. This is, of course, still a far ery from the something like 27 million on American streets and farms back in the peak year for horses, 1918. After that, the de- cline was rapid. As the internal combustion engine took over transportation and field chores, man's age-ol- d power source became not only inefficient but eventually almost a luxury. Ironically, this is the reason for the comeback in the affluent '60s.' With more money and more leisure time, more Americans are indulging in horsey pastimes.

The greatest cause of inflation is the war. Because of the billions of dollars spent the cost of living has continued to rise until it is at an high. To those who live in a fixed income and may have saved for old age. this is a tragedy. The savings have decreased in buying power five per cert a year for a number of years and the cost of living has increased at the same ratio. Of course, the greatest sacrifice is made by those who have given their lives in a doubtful cause. We hope these dead shall not Lave died in vain. Although the President and Congress have stated that inflation is one cf our greatest problems and have raised interest rates and levied a special tax to curb inflation, no positive results have happened. Our leaders have set a bad example by raising Congressional salaries $20,000 a year giving the President $100,000 a year increase, and raising the wages of all federal employees.

Republicans While we've heard a lot about the "generation gap," I'm not completely sold on the idea that there is such a thing. Course, it could be that my teenage boys consider a "gap" between the ol' man and themselves, but until my number 2 son, Jeff, wrote an English paper on family relations, I didn't. I still don't believe there is but he sure has given me something to think about Here is what he wrote: "I wonder how many times I have been told, "you're a young man now, live up to it kid."

North Vietnam and the Viet Cong have been, encouraged by China and Russia to continue to fight. Those who have visited the North say the people are planning to hold out for years. We will not therefore get a negotiated peace. Our objectives when we entered the war were to stop the spread of communism and give the people of South Vietnam the right to choose their own government. Neither of these objectives has been accomplished. Our present objective is to get the South Vietnamese to take over most of the fighting. Their lack of loyalty, plus graft, plus division in government, have been ard are a handicap. We are making some progress. Perhaps in a year we can get most of our armed forces home. Can we get peace with honor? If not our international problems may lead to catastrophe. E. K.
