One of the first things we heard was to wire the congressmen, get government money, Then they stood around waiting for help from benevolent Uncle Sam. We heard talk of free flood control funds; it seemed that there were half a dozen federal agencies that might be tapped. But there is a better ending than that. The water users went to work themselves, and arranged for the money which will be paid back with interest by the water users to fix the damage. We believe the farmers took the only right course in meeting their problems. They saved valuable time in not having to contend with the Washington wizards reams of red tape and conditions and they wont lose a good part of the funds chargeable to bureaucratic handling. Too few of us stop to realize that no government can "give us anything, that no government can create anything. What is a gift to one section is a tax burden to another. When we begin to expect someone else to pay our bills and someone else to cushion the shocks of adversity, then we begin to lose our independence. The early pioneers of the west did not grovel and moan for federal help each time disaster, caused by acts of God, struck. They pitched in and solved their own problems, and the experience made of them men who could stand on their own feet independent. Adversity never stopped wholesome growth or progress it merely challenged it, and free men, not government wards, will ever accept the challenge.

It is a city, and the people who live along its quiet streets are neither rich nor poor. It is an average American community, if there 13 such a thing. Thirteen months ago, muddy flood waters of the Minnesota river spilled onto the flat streets and yards of Mankato, with huge property damage. Its residents knew that such a flood could happen again. Something had to be done. One solution and possibly the easiest would be to ask for help from way out Washington. Thus the cost of providing flood protection would be settled on everybody who paid federal taxes; and the federal spenders were eager to start issuing the money. But another way was for the community to pay for the cost itself. A $100,000 bond flood wall was issue was floated. A built along the river bank, with no state or federal help. Came the spring thaws of 1952, the water began to rise. In the worst flood in history the river crested at almost 25 feet, but North Mankato remained dry. Across the river, another town wa3 flooded out, and its citizens sent up loud and anguished crys for government aid. non-industr- Times-Inde-pende- utt- - pot0 i: Roberta: "Theres a lot of talk nowadays about a woman president.
