Except for a few strugglirg for existence in scattered locations, only 300 of these species are left in Minnesota and about 5,0o0 in Alaska. Tne U.S. Department of the Interior reports they are on the verge of extinction. These few remaining animals won't last long if Alaska keeps up its extermination campaign by offering a bounty of $50 a head to hunters, who use airplanes to track down and kill the wolves. The bounty is hard to understand, since wolves are considered by some wildlife authorities to be not a very serious danger to livestock. Moreover, if the wolves die out it can upset the balance of nature, since they feed on old and sick laribou that would otherwise be a burden to the herds. To our lasting regret. Americans have hunted other species of wildlife to extinction in the pas. Let's not make the same mistake with the eastern timber wolf and the Texas red wolf. friendly relations.

Its sponsors this year Albania and need only intioduce a simple Algeria resolution inviting China to become a member with no conditions attached. And Red China need do no mote than indicate that it would like to become a member with no conditions attached. Each approach would bring decisive approval. But its sponsors have always attached t ve conditions to their resolutions placing Peking on the Security Council and expelling Taiwan irom the world orthus showing that they are ganization aware that Red China doesn't want U.N. membership unless it can dictate the under which it would enter. It may seem reasonable to some that Peking should replace Nationalist China on the Security Council ar.d that Ta:wan lie dropped from the General Assembly as well although Taiwan is a bigger R. Drnmmond G. Drummond and mure populous nation than at least half of the other U.N. members. But Peking has laid down other that the United Nations would have to meet if Red China were to accept membership. It has stipulated that the 1950 General Assembly condemnation of Red China as an aggressor in the attack on South Korea he rescinded as untrue. It has stipulated that the General Assembly shall, instead, indict the United States as the aggressor. It has stipulated that, before Peking will join, all colonial and imperialist powers" must be expelled. Under Red China's definition of an imperialist power, that would mean that the Soviet Union, the United States.

Gower dated Nov. 10, 1 wish to inform him and the public that the criminals captured by the police at the First Baptist Church were apprehended outside the church buildings not inside as was stated in his letter. Members of our church who were doing volunteer work witnessed personally the apprehension of the criminals, and others of our staff were here. The criminals, however, never entered the church buildings. Since tills states the facts of the case. I do not feel there is a necessity of going into the argument of sanctuary or no sanctuary. EARL L. RILEY Minister. First Baptist Church How To Waste Dollars Constantly we hear people griping about how much money we are spending in Vietnam. Little, however, is mentioned about how we spend taxpayers money at home. Bills are constantly going before the House and Senate to appropriate funds for foolish and unproductive organizations and programs. An example was the act which passed in 1966 to appropriate funds for the Older Americans Act. This ac. is one of the most irrational ever passed. It provides services to the Older Americans" in the form of teaching the women how to keep house and teaching the men how to do odd jobs. It also teaches both men and women 65 and oder how to dance. If a woman who is at least 65 can't keep house, and a man can't do odd jobs fcv now, or if either doesn't know how to dance, by this time, they certainly won't learn for they are too set in their own patterns and ways. In 1966. this particular act was granted $6 million. In June of 1969. it was granted 823 million. The next three years the House has authorized SS4 million each year or for the next three years a total of 5252 million. As anyone can see, the cost of this productive program is doing nothing but increasing. These Older Americans don't need somebody to tell them what they already know. They need a means to obtain the necessities of life in this time of inflation. GAILYX B. THAXTON Third Avenue. No. 2 131 Cure For Ills What I am going to say has undoubtedly been said better. But it cannot be reiterated too often. What can cure the frightful ills besetting the U.S.? First, what is the cause of po ertv, disease, riots, crime, etc.? The answer has to be wickedness. Yes. the same thing that caused the destruction of mankind in the days of Noah, the disobedience that kept the Israelites in bondage to the Egyptians and caused them many centuries of conflict with the Philistines, the condition that has brought many once great nations to their downfall and now threatens all nations among us todny. T.e cure? Not additional billions poured into foreign nations in the form of grain to feed rats, war material to use against us, and American blood to stain the soil, nor yet legislation against crime, r.or money as handouts to the criminals and the destitute here in our own country. No. as long as prayer can be forbidden and wicked and degenerate acts protected, we shall continue to go down the road to destruction.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR This makes it amply evident that Red China doesn't now want to have anything to do with the United Nations, unless it can remake it in its own image.

Fourteen nations have lower infant mortality rates than the U.S. There are 22 countries where the life expectancy of i' ali-- at birth is greater than in the U.S., and nr.e in which re hfe expectancy of gnl fcajies is greater than here. With a nationwide physician shortage so great that an estimated 4 u million Americans dont even have a medicine man. a major source of the health crisis isn't hard to find. Cut since a new medical school to accommodate 190 students costs $100 million just for bricks and mortar, fast and sure solutions to the shortage of 52.000 physicians are elusive. One possible approach to the problem was outlined re-- t entlv by Dr. Glenn W. Irwin Jr., dean of the Indiana University School of Medicine. With 227 students, Indiana University has the laigest medical school enrollment m the nation. Indiana also is the largest state with only one medical school. Three years ago. Dean Irwin explained, Indiana made some fundamental hanges in its medical education program that are starting to lie copied in other states. On the theory that students would be more likely to remain in Indiana if they knew that a good medical education could be obtained at not j"st one but a number of centos around the state. Indiana University started offering medical Gaining at colleges outside Indiana polis. This makes possible the training of a larger number of students. Likewise, 35 faculty members were located in hospitals throughout Indiana, and Indiana University started sending medical educators to various communities to instruct at conferences and clinics. Medical instruction is given over a television network that was established linking the Indianapolis University medical school with 33 hospitals throughout the state. The traditional medical school curriculum was revised in Indiana to introduce hospital patients to the medical student tailier in his academic career, to put more emphasis cn core medical studies, and to allow medical students to take elective courses during their .senior year. The curriculum was also made more flexible to allow students to pursue their interest in medicine earlier in college, and to allow them to enter medical school at more than one point in their academic careers. As a result of these changes. Dean Irwin said, medical training costs have been lowered, 19fr more interns and 12L more residents are staying in Indiana instead of being lured elsewhere, and the state is attracting better medical students to do a better who. in turn, stimulate their physician-teacher- s job of teaching them. The Indiana plan seems well worth emulating elsewhere. Certainly medical profession, including medical educators, must take boid, innovative, and concerted action if it is to fulfill its responsibility to provide the entire nation with better health care.
