Mrs. (iahler has been reviewing textbooks for 6 years. When she appeared on the Manion Forum radio program she told the audience in some detail about a course being taught to elementary school children across America. Here is some of what she said: of Man. A Course is it as MACOS. Study' called is a program written for fifth graders. It is possibly the most gruesome course that I have ever reviewed. One of the little books is called The Many Lives of Rigtak. Kigtak is a Netsilik Eskimo, and over half of the school year has to be spent on the Netsilik Eskimo. In Washington, when they attempted to cut off the funds of the National Science Foundation, they asked the of Library and the National Congress Archives to give them all the research they could find on the Netsilik Eskimos. Thev finally came back in three weeks and said that they find nothing on could Netsilik Eskimos. They are almost an extinct tribe. There are only 14 known to exist. Yet, this course of study was evolved from one of the most violent group of people that ever existed. In the MACOS program about Netsilik Eskimos is the story of a man who eats his own wife, lie first takes pieces of her clothing. She so she becomes afraid, breaks loose and runs. Then he runs after her and stabs her to death. After that he lived upon her and he stacked her bones beside a platform. This is for fifth graders. That story is followed by the tale of two men who Rs, 1 i r ' . 4lf decided that they would eat their own little brother. The little brother was frostbitten in both feet and was not able to walk. Gangrene had set in and his feel were numb. They decided that they would cut off the feet of their living brother and eat them. Then they decided that they might as well eat the whole body of their little brother, after all. he wasn't good for anything anyway. Dont think that young people today don't believe this to be true. was on a talk show recently in Georgia. A young boy called in and said. Ilcy. what's all li hasde about people After all. eating people they're list going tn die anyway.' In the MACOS program we have wife exchanging. It says that wife exchanging for short periods of time often takes place. It says that, for instance, if a man is going on a hunting trip and for some reason or I other his wife can't go she may be sick or with child can take his best friend's --- wife. I have been challenged about this more than one time. I was challenged by some professors out east and they said, Well, Mrs. (iahler, in the first place, it is not wife exchanging, it is just a very necessary thing to take a woman along because of cooking and said, you sewing.

Bill Dickinson has introduced legislation to strikers from food stamps. getting Dickinson's bill amends the Farm Bill which comes up for Congressional' review this year. Dickinson stated: I will continue to work on this vital legislation because I a it corrects believe fundamental inequity in the Food Stamp Program. Why should strikers who are voluntarily out of work be put on an equal footing with the truly needy and destitute who must have food to assure stamps themselves of an adequate diet? Indeed, when strikers get food stamps this means there are fewer stamps available for the poor who really need them. The Congressman says his bill is not anti-labo- r, but pro-poFood people. stamps should only be issued to those wrho are and cannot help poor themselves, not to those who voluntarily choose not to work. Dickinson further stated that giving strikers food the destroys stamps to balance necessary maintain a true collective When bargaining system. we take the taxpayers dollars and use them to favor one side over another a in matter directly the public and the affecting prohibit or consumer, we are abandoning our principles of fair play and free enterprise. If strikers receive food stamps there is obviously not the same on them to pressure as there is on negotiate management. Thus, strikes last longer, higher wage settlements are made and the American public pays higher prices for goods and services, and higher taxes to pay for the food stamps the strikers used. Its a vicious cycle (subsidized by the American taxpayer) that must be stopped. Behind The Energy Fraud by John F. McManus Belmont, Massachusetts There are only two basic ways to confront a shortage. The first way is to produce more goods, and the second is to accept a reduction in consumption. Under normal conditions, any shortage will quickly result in a voluntary redirection of effort in order to fill the need. The promise of economic reward is the only stimulus required. That promise is so compelling, in fact, that it will even lead to the creation of substitute products, some of which turn out to be more practical and more economical than those they replace. Shortages in a free society are always looked upon as opportunities. As a result, they are aland relatively ways short-liveBut when free inconsequential. men are deprived of the ability to deal with shortages either by producing or by improvising, then shortages worsen and become the rule, not the exception. d Is Energy Really Scarce? The United States is supposed to be in the grip of an energy shortage. Yet various experts in the field insist that our nation is sitting on a huge sea of petroleum and natural gas. 'Thomas I. Medders .Jr., president of the Independent Petroleum Association of America, told a Senate Committee in 1972 that our recoverable resources are in the order of 100 years supply at present rates of IJ.S. consumption of both oil and gas." A 1972 Senate Interior Committee Report reviewed numerous projections of recoverable oil and concluded that Mr. Medders had significantly underestimated our potential . reserves. Besides oil and natural gas, the IJ.S. is richly blessed with coal deposits. The most conservative estimate indicates that we have a 400-yesupply at presar ent rates of consumption. Weve got coal coming out our ears, says Bureau of Mines chief I)r. Thomas Falkie. And we lead the world in the use of nuclear power and in nuclear technology. The truth is that the widely publicized shortage is contrived, artificial, and as phony as a nine-doll- bill. ar f Government Created Shortage Whats going on is deadly se- rious. Government, mostly in the g name of birds, imand so has fish, air, water, peded the workings of the free enterprise system that a shortage over-protectin- of vital fuels has resulted. Laws, edicts, executive orders, and judicial decrees have restricted domestic drilling, blocked offshore drilling, delayed the Alaska pipeline, mandated wasteful devices on autos, and put a price ceiling on natural gas that has inhibited production. When coal and nuclear substitutes were offered by the free enterprise system, government outlawed much of the use of coal and is now harassing nuclear power producers to an early death. anti-pollutio- n In any discussion of "the energy crisis" by national leaders, we the people get blamed, not the government. It is we who must cut consumption, and because we wont do so voluntarily, we must be forced to do so with taxes, restrictions, and controls. The government, which created the problem, now insists that a huge increase in its power is the solution. 'The free enterprise way to handle a shortage is to produce more goods. The controlled society way, the Communist or Socialist way, is to increase taxes, controls, and restrictions, all of which lead to less production and to total government. The next time someone tries to tell you that Americas leaders have brought about the energy crisis deliberately in order to make the U.S. a Communist or Socialist state, please listen carefully. Your help is needed to put an end to this sinister scheme. t 1977 The John Birch Sat iety Features HANDGUNS ARE HERE TO STAY Continued from page 4 If you feel as we do that pistols and revolvers are here to stay and that they play a most important role in our inalienable right to keep and bear arms then I am sure that you will also agree that it makes good sense to join the American Pistol and Revolver Association and believe me we will give the opposition even more action as soon as we have the funds to accomplish the goals that we have set out for effectively, including the creation of a staff of attorneys who will file law suits against those who are denying us of our constitutional rights. Please show this article to your friends, your neighbors, your fellow gun club members and send a copy to the editor of your local newspaper. If we lose our precious right to own handguns, then it won't be long before we also lose our right to own a rifle, a shotgun, a bow and arrows, a pellet gun or even a slingshot.
