Show THURSDAY, The Eyes Have If In Adjusting What has built-ibifocals, sees with mirrors, could spot a dime at 1,000 feet, can watch forward and behind its back at the same time, and views the world in glorious grays? Answer (s): a horsefly, a crocodile, a hawk, a rabbit, a dog. And it all comes naturally to them. They are examples of life's adaptability, or what nature has come up with in the way of individualizing that most specialized of all sensory organs, the eye.

We are also painfully aware that a Democratic substitute would probably be worse, or at least more obvious. What we are trying to say is that the American people are being taken for another ride.

In the face of these and numerous other contradictions, let us conclude that our age is one where the abnormal is normal, where upside-dow- n is considered and where the word incredible has practically lost its meaning. In keeping with this flood of contradictions, the are now telling us that President Ford is a conservative, in fact the most conservative man to ' occupy the White House right-side-u- rs since Calvin Coolidge. A cynic might remark that such a characterization is like telling an overweight matron that she's the slimmest beauty in the reducing class.

Wouldnt the world be a saner place if words were defined? We offer the following short definitions of conservative and liberal. Conservative: One who wants to manage his own life. Liberal : Onewho wants to manage the lives of others. Perhaps the single most 's indicative measure of a desire to manage the livs of others is his record on spending. No matter how anyone tries to cover it up, government programs, especially the social welfare type, are a double-barrele- d attack on the individual's right (and duty) to manage his own affairs. jxli-tician- Government programs DID YOU PAY TOO MUCH FOR YOUR METAL BUILDING?

In short, a spender in government is a controller, a liberal. On the other hand, one who holds down government power is a conservative. President Ford's spending record is hard to believe. His predecessors final budget was $304 billion. But in just two years of this conservative President, federal spending has increased by R.W.

According to a U.S. News and World Report analysis, federal spending for the fiscal year of 1977 could rise as high as $432 billion. It was in 19G2 that our government first spent over 100 billion dollars in a single year. That' was 174 years after the first federal budget. By 1971, only nine years laster, the 200 billion dollar level was eclipsed under the GEBDM m "conservative President Nixon. Four years later, in 1975, the 300 billion dollar plateau was smashed. And it took Gerald Ford only two years to zoom past the 400 billion dollar mark. If Ford is a conservative, then John Wayne is a hippie.
