Show Speaker Stresses "Well-Being" Over "Welfare" Plan Using as a topic, "Welfare or Well-being", Walter M. Jones, Rotarian from Salt Lake City, addressed ad-dressed the Cedar City Rotary club at its regular weekly luncheon lunch-eon meeting Tuesday noon in El Escalante hotel. Mr. Jones stressed the point that the word "welfare" has had so much political glamor in recent re-cent years that the American public seems to have forgotten its' former well-being built up under the Constitution. Well-being, Mr. Jones went on to say. is a condition of happiness or prosperity which is preferable to the perpetual state of crisis -we have faced governmentally during dur-ing the past 20 years. "One of the great dangers in America today", he said "is the doctrine that in full employment, national security and the future building of America can be accomplished ac-complished only through stupendous stupen-dous government spending. "The unsound doctrine heard many times during t.'ie past 20 years that internal public debt was not a debt at all has brought us to the point where we are. All of the billions of our nation's wealth, which represents the inventive in-ventive genius, the energy and resources of all the people is threatened with destruction." The entire program was under the direction of Dr. F. B. Parkinson. |
