A cied.t card is an appeal to the ego For example, I received a in the letter mail recently that offered me a ed''c,ard 111 a car rental company. any cash, I could get money in many Parts of the world by just presenting the credit card. There was a time in my life when I was young and foolish that this offer would have appealed to my ego. But with the passing of the years it was wisdom to tear up the letter and assign it to the garbaee container How does this affect inflation? a spigot. Now we must pay the piper. Our country, that means all of us are a trillion dollars in debt. It is difficult to imagine what a trillion is. There is one fact that is clear - we are close to bankruptcy. Yet no one seems to care. Several times a year our utility companies are requesting and getting millions of dollars in increased revenue. They cry of the poor is going unheaded. We have an example in our own city. Our water bill for September has sky rocketed. I know of a number of people who are dependent upon Social Security for sustenance are won-dering how they are going to pay it. Isn't anyone willing to sacrifice? Or must we pay for our follies. I was in an older home recently and it was pointed out to me the hole in the chimney that once accommodated the stove pipe from the coal range had been covered over because there was n o need for it with the electric range. Thus the people who live there who are among those on limited income made this statement. "If conditions continue as they are we may have to remove the electric range and put back the old coal stove." Most of we oldtimers remember the days of the coal stoves, they were not such bad days. I remember yet the comforting pleasure of putting my feet on the oven door on cold mor-nings. Of learning discipline because it was my boyhood chore to see there was kindling wood to light the fire. I remember Dad getting up early to light the stove so the kitchen would be warm when the rest of the family arose. A note about my father. He never used an alarm clock. When he kneeled at his bedside to say his evening prayer he would ask his guardian angel to wake him at the required time. I never knew him to oversleep. Life in those days was not too bad. Not as easy perhaps as today, but our country did not owe a trillion dollars. We made do with what we had. I have no desire to go back to those days, yet perhaps unless conditions change we may have no choice. K we look at ourselves we may find 0f the answers to inflation. For Imple, there are over a million cards in our country. Instead of jLg a blessing they can be a curse. Lv people do not know how to Ldle money and a credit card is a temptation to overspend. luany people who overspend on their credit cards are forced to withdraw money from their savings to make up the deficit. Sometimes greatness can be a destroyer. For lo these many years we have boasted of our greatness. Both we and the government have spent money like water coming out of Thursday, October 8, 1981 - Page B--5 v pppT DEER HUNTERS! 1 Til LuE)6 Get tota"y ready or the deer hunt!
