Last year he was honored with the coveted American Indian Award. family pets, no matter how familiar they are. Parents should encourage their children to report every dog bite and take them to a physician immediately when a child is bitten- It is very important to learn the identity of the dog so that it can be located and quarantined. AH warm blooded animals are susceptible to rabies. Although it is mandatory by law in many communities for all dogs to be immunized, no parent can afford the risk of lightly regarding any bite their children get. In his article he discusses many of the Teenage Talk The American Indian has fared better with the American oilman titan he has with the white man generally. Thus writes W.

In his words: "Despite the reputations these 'freebooting oilmen may have had in other quarters, Indian leaders, more often than not, found they were men whose word was their bond, who spoke truthfully and without hidden meanings in rheir words, and who entered into honest business dealings with the Indians, and treated them with the same respect they would have accorded a white maa Good Question Commit- tee will feel about President Eisenhowers appoint-mn- t of Mrs. Barbara Gunderson to the Civil Service Commission- - Rep.

I went to my treasured volume again to ascern just why and by what authority, or for what reason all these rules had been laid down for the big herd of mankind as if they were sheep to follow by the millions at the heels of some leader; just as a colony of ants in a hill, or a swarm of bees in a hive, wirh all the individuality vested in one and all the others with no responsibility but to obey orders. The compendiums of forms, just a few of which had been compiled by Gaskel, had made of mankind of breed of automatons who-ithey dared to say or do anything in a different way to what it was supposed to be done, were "sticking their necks out, and inviting ridicule, if not persecution. Men must think in the popularly-accepte- d way, or they are not orthodox. In many cases it has cost men their liberty and their lives to have the temerity and the guts to think for themselves, and to be indviduals instead of obsequious copyists and meek subscribers to what the herd has accepted. The man with backbone to be himself, and to develop the peculiar talents with which Nature endowed him, is at once a crank, despised and held up to ridicule, though after a while his ideas are found to be more than the copyists of the herd and ever imagined, and are adopted for the benefit of all humanity.

Rep. Byrnes electrified his economy-minded colleagues by refusing to run up the white flag of surrender to advocates of astronomical expenditures.

There must be a change. "And I am sure Congress will be responsive to a feeling for economy on the part of the people.

B. Morse was ridiculed and mocked at by the senate of the United States because he dared to look beyond the deep ruts of conventional thinking and discern that a message could be sent through a wire. This is typical of the thousands who have made it possible for the world to progress. When David Thoreau was a little boy, and some one asked what he intended to be wrhen he became a man, he answered that he intended to be David Thoreau. Ir is because he had the nerve to still be David Thoreau that he made his valuable contribution to the good and wholesome literature of modern times.

S. Department of Agricultures valuation of farm estate plant plus farmers non-reassets, has gone up steadily with only transient interruptions for nearly two decades and is now heading for the $200 billion level. Highlights of this trend are that total farm assets have increased almost three and one-ha- lf times In the period since 1940 while aggregate debt has only doubled. This gives an insight Into the extent that agriculture has participated in the growth of the economy in the period government financial assistance to agriculture, which goes back many years, has been, since 1954, at a new high of about $4V4 billion or more a year. Data compiled by the Department of Agriculture estimate that the total of farmers assets at more than $186 billions in the early part of this year. This figure represented a gain of about $9 billions over the year before. The rise contrasted with the fact that farm assets declined in the two previous War II recessions, those of 1949 and 1953-5Over 60 per cent of the worth of the agricultural establishment is in land and buildings, valued THE post-Worl- d 4. REV. ROBERT H. HARPER COMING SOON When a small boy, visiting on my eldest uncles place in the country, I climed boldly up the wall of a corn-cri- b and on to the edge of the roof and reached the top. The crib was built with large pine poles and the wall was as good as a ladder. And the roof was not very steep. I felt like a conqueror until I thought of getting down. Because of the projecting roof, I could not see the wall and the ground at a distance looked very far. Fortunately, my uncles stout ion came along. I knew the strength of his brawny arms and the warmth of his big heart. And when he said, You just jump down and Ill catch you, I knew tie would and I jumped. I had not heard then of rockets to' the moon. Now I wonder how the space travelers are going to land on the moon. And how are they going to return to earth? When the friction of the earths atmosphere begins to burn up the rockets, the man inside would seem to have little chance. No doubt this phase of the space trip is giving some concern to the wise men. Wd- are often confronted with the problem of coming down or getting back. It is well to consider the consequences of an action and to think of the end of the matter. The Great Book will give you a sure plan of lifes journey. And the toils of the road will seem nothing when you get to the end of the lad-ier-li- - way. at more than $116 billions as of March 1 this year. The comparable figure In 1940 was only $33.6 billions. Much of the $82 billion gain in valuation of the farm plant in the 1940-5- 8 period is, of of inflation course, a and the fact that the dollar has lost more than half of its buying power In the period. However, other assets of farmers have likewise grown greatly. Non-reestate assets, consisting of inventories, machinery and household possessions, have gone up from just over $15 billions in 1940 to an estimated 51 Vi billions at the beginning of this year. The rise in financial assets in the period has been from $4.2 billions to nearly $19 billions. In line with this improvement, three out of four farm families now own life insurance protection. Total farm debt, mortgage and non-reestate combined, was estimated at just under $20 billions at the beginning of this year as compared with $10 billions in 1940. Reflecting the greater rate of growth in financial assets in the period, farmers as a whole had 94 cents in cash or its equivalent for every dollar of debt at the beginning of this year as compared with only 42 cents in 1940. ct setting. . $288 Btllton Debt Ceiltng It came as shocked members of the House were considering (and approving) the Administrations request to boost the federal debt ceiling to the record peacetime level of $288 billion. It came while the House was being warned by some of its most influential members that if Congress continued to appropriate huge sums unceessarily there was no doubt that the debt ceiling would be elevated still higher and there would be further cause for fiscal alarm. It came while Secretary of rhe Treasury Anderson was saying that the debt ceiling although raised as requested this year definitely would have to be next year to determine whether another rise would be recommended. It came while Budget Director Stans was saying that rhe deficit for this fiscal year might soar beyond the $12 billion now forecast (unless spending proclivities were restrained) and there was a "strong possibility" that government spending would average $80 billion for each of the next five years, including the current one ending next June 30. (Spending this year is estimated at the present time at $79 billion. Receipts are expected to be $67 billion leaving $12 billion deficit. 1 All of these developments combined served to emphasize the need for eliminating all unnecessary spending. It was pointed out clearly and that the spending convincingly programs pushed by the New-Fai- r Dealers must be financed by infla- deficit spending and paid for by tax burdens passed on to succeeding generations. Launching of Sputnik I by Russia, it was recalled, was utilized by the New-FaDealers as the basis for renewed and enlarged and new spending demands both for defense and tion-creating ir non-defen- purposes. These demands continued throughout this session of Congress and frequently the Administration was severely condemmed for not spending more than it proposed. As a result, to give just two examples, Congress voted double the amount of money the Administration requested for Atomic Energy Commission construction and added $815,875,000 to rhe Defense Department appropriation bill over the protest of the Administration. t i |
