Many of them were small, family-owne- d forced out of business because they just did not have the broad corporate base nece&sary to finance the often-hug- e expenditures required by new environmental standards. Not always are just "Ma and Pa" businesses affected, however. According to James H. Evans, president of Union Pacific Corp., smelters have had to cut back operations in Arizona because of new state emission standards. The irony is that the copper that the smelters can no longer handle is shipped to Japan for smelting, then brought back to this country. In other words, smelter workers' jobs are being exported along with the copper. When plants close, for whatever reason, nobody gains, Evans told the General Assembly Virginia families and their Workers recently. suffer from unemployment. Communities and states lose tax money at the very time the public has to support and help retrain or relocate those who are out of work. Yet private industry accounts for only a fraction of the pollution in this country. The bulk of it comes from agriculture, from automobiles, from sewage disposal, from large government installations and other nonindustrial sources. Evans, whose credentials in the environmental field include chairmansnip of the National Recreation and Parks Association, as well as appointment under two presidents to the Citizens' Advisory Committee on Environmental Quality, urges that attempts to Paul Harvey billion. of $370. it boils down to is that by paying out $170 for pollution abatement, each family could What reduce its annual pollution damages by $370 for a net savings of $200. We may eventually have to include in the cost of pollution control the cost of loans or grants or subsidies to small companies unable to clean themselves up by means of their own resources.

On one hand, the pretentious New Yorker is carefully ducking the New Hampshire test. On the other, he is spending a reputed $1 million in a crash drive to make a spectacular showing in Florida's March 14 primary. Vividly illustrative of his furious Florida electioneering are posters reading: "Come Hear Mayor John Lindsay. Recently Voted the Sexiest Man in the Country." Meanwhile, back home, Lindsay has reluctantly and uneasily eased himself in New York's June 20 primary. Widely and intensely unpopular in his own bailiwick, he would like very much to dodge this showdown. But he can't and still be a viable Presidential candidate. So with obvious reticence, he launched his New York campaign at a meeting that was supposed to be attended by Uemocratic party and other leaders. Very sleight-of-han- d few showed up. Five hundred were invited in a personal letter sent out by former Democratic state chairman John Burns, now Lindsay's national campaign coordinator. Burns hopefully urged them to "join our team," claiming the "Mayor is becoming stronger as a candidate for President every day." This bombastic appeal apparently sank like a chunk of lead. Not a single county chairman attended, and not one has endorsed Lindsay. One county official, Meade Esposito of Brooklyn, who has supported Lindsay in the past, is telling friends, "Convention delegates pledged to Lindsay haven't got a chance of being elected in Brooklyn because of his intense unpopularity there."

Robert Kennedy of New York, involved in the Palestinian hijacking of a Lufthansa airliner recently, doesn't think it's a serious handicap. As he is telling friends, the big problem is to find a locale and public office where his youth would be an asset in getting elected. Young Joe, as he is known to his family and pals, would like very much to run for Congress. But the Constitution bars that; the minimum age requirement for a seat in the House is 25 years, for the Senate 30 years. So Joe, who barely got through high school after two tries, is looking around for a possible seat in a state legislature. Presumably, his legal residence is McLean, Va., where his mother and ten brothers and sisters reside. But young Joe's prospects of landing a seat in the Old Dominion legislature are very remote. But there is the vividly successful example of his father who, while residing in Virginia, and ran for the U.S. Senate in New York won. Another encouraging example is his chunky uncle, Sen. Edward Kennedy, Although he had never run for office, and was barely within the Constitutional age requirement he was levitated into the Senate at a cost to his family of more than $1 million, and thanks to his oldest brother being in the White House and his other brother being Attorney General. Also most helpful was that he ran in Massachusetts where the name of Kennedy is political magic. As young Joe's friends are telling it, he too is eyeing the Bay State. What will come of that remains to be seen. Meanwhile, he has been given an effusive send-of- f by an old Sen. George McGovern, family intimate whom a lot of politicos consider a stalking horse for Sen. Kennedy. Declaimed McGovern sonorously when young Joe returned from the Middle East hijacking; "One of the nation's most remarkable and talented young men is Joseph Patrick Kennedy III. In his 19 years of life he has experience both more tragedv and high adventures than most of us will experience in a lifetime. But through it all, he has met the test of courage defined by his uncle, the late President John F. Kennedy 'grace under D.-S.- pressure.'

Joe finally got a high school diploma from Manor Hall Tutoring School, Cambridge, Mass.

I have a nephew (the only one I have), by the name of Cliff Cahoon, who is a bright young man with the information services at Utah State University.

Although somewhat personal, I'm sure that what he has written will relate to a lot of dads and grandfathers. Here tis : environmental reasons? The nation cannot afford unabated environmental pollution. But neither can it afford the slow erosion through plant closures of the economic base which is needed to pay for the technological solutions Evans speaks of. It has been estimated that pollution costs America about $28.9 billion annually. The damages include: Human health, $6 billion; materials and vegetation, $4.9 billion; lowering of property values, $5.2 billion; water pollution, $12,8 It has also been estimated that to clean up America would cost more than $10 billion a year, or about $170 for each family. But according to the National Wildlife Federation, this investment would result in reducing the cost of pollution by $22 billion annually, with a per family benefit j I've not written much about my dad, but he was a great guy. We were more like buddies than father and son. Although he was not an educated man, he was as smart as any educated man I've ever known. He knew what life was all about and what it took to get there.

He passed away last October. It seemed like an untimely death. Among other things, I felt we still had a lot of fishing to get done together. But the good Lord didn't see it my way.

Oppose Birth Control As Population Solution Editor Herald: Is birth control a solution for the Population Problem in the United States? Through our research we have decided that birth control is not a solution. Here are the reasons we have come to this conclusion. A current trend which seems to be supported by many people is birth control enforced by government legislation in the form of limiting families to two children. These people have suggested that we be taxed for over two children. This is against our individual freedom to have as many children as we want." Highly motivated parents usually have high-quali- ty human beings. We do not want to discourage them. The world is definitely not with human beings. How many of you would be here if there was a law allowing for only two children per family? We are against the birth control pill. We are also against abortion because, in our opinion, they are both murdering a child before it has a chance to live. Sometimes if a woman is forced to have an abortion, she may be rendered Incapable to have any more children. Abortion is also against the law in many states. The greatest reason that birth control is not a solution is because there is not a population problem in the United States and there will probably never be one. Here are the reasons why we have come to this conclusion: years to come there will not be an "explosion" in America. Also in the future there will be enough food to feed the United States people. In fact, at the present time there is so much food in the United States that the government pays the farmers not to plant too many crops. Through much research and we have become aware of the factors in this issue and, consequently, formed a How definite much do you know about the population explosion and birth control?

XA Story for Americans' Editor Herald: Once upon a time there was a Island called "Earth" upon which dwelt a community of many people. As in all communities some were industrious and some were not, some were kind and charitable, some were poor and humble and some were not. Among the richest was one fine citizen, he was particularly blessed. He was strong and handsome with a fine character and high ideals. He was the "hero" and his name was America. Many praised his name and the things that he stood for. But alas, on this island lived a vicious and wicked beast. When it was very young it was small and ugly, but some thought it was rather cute. Some looked upon it with pity, others with apprehension. As it grew it prowled the outskirts of the civilization and its mournful cry could be heard by all that The Almanac By United Press International Today is Sunday, March 5, the 65th day of 1972.

More and more people were being eaten alive. Many had scars and infectious wounds inflicted by the vicious beast. The beast grew fatter and fatter, and took bigger and bigger mcuthfuls. The people were angry (but a little scared) and spoke to the beast. The beast just grinned, slobbered and spat. Ihe citizens that were left argued amongst themselves as to what to do. Some wanted to fight the beast and kill it. Others wanted to let it live, but "contain" it. Some wanted to "negotiate" with it. Yet others wanted to feed it so that it would like them and not harm them. Perhaps, later, they might "merge" with it. The beast just grinned, slobbered and spat.

The good citizens of the island rationalized that it had just as much right to live on the island as they, and anyway, if it got too bothersome they were surely strong enough to put an end to it. And besides, it was only the poorer people that lived on the edge of civilization that were being eaten, and perhaps that was good for them. " went back to narrow lapels as soon as wide ones were 'in' again!" I found out Time was running out for the island and its good citizens. The beast greedily devoured all that was thrown to it and all it could steal. The good citizens looked to the hero for help and leadership in putting an end to the beast. Many in the hero's household had urged to end the beast when it was small, knowing that the longer the delay the more bloody the battle. Others in the hero's household had been deceitfully feeding the beast from the wages of all the hero's servants. The hero sent a trusted servant to speak with the beast. All the household held its breath. But the servant delivered one of the hero's best and most loyal friends to the beast to be eaten. The beast just grinned, slobbered and spat.
