THE UNITED STATES SENATE
last week voted farm subsidies totaling
billion and quarter dollars. Goodness sakes,
that comes to nearly as much as the billion
and three-quarters being spent for rearm-

OVER A PERIOD OF A CENTURY,
half of our farmers have never gotten more
than just an existence out of farming For
large number, but less than half, farming
has meant good living. To few it has
brought substantial wealth.-Thief River

s.. DEATHS OF YOUNG PEOPLE OUT
"having. "a fling at night life make cruel
reading in frank and honest news stories
all too often. Nor can they be dismissed
with reflections on the younger generation
which imply today's youths are greatly diff
ferent from earlier generations. They are
MT. Today's dangers are more serious. Cars
are higher-powered, roads more tempting to
fast drivers but these things, too, are only
accessories. The real cause of many seri-
Gus accidents is the places which allow
youths to come thereafter to them in fact
drink all they can hold and drive on. They
are the breeding centers of fatal accidents,
the curse which the younger generation
didn't bring on itself, but which persons of
more mature ages allow to exist and to be
accepted as "the place to 60"
SENATOR SEIFERT TAKES THE
writer to task, in friendly way of course,
for our editorial last week criticising the
political aspects of the investigating COM
mittee of which Alex is member.
He explains that criminal evidence which
may go to a grand jury must be kept from
the press or the evidence disappears. Our
argument was that the reporters might bet
ter be taken into the meetings than be ex-
cluded, which necessitates their resorting to
publication of what little information leaks
out.
The committee no doubt has its pro-
blems and is handling them in the manner
which seems best. Our principal point was
that we have regular channels for the eX-
posing of criminal acts in government and
conviction of the parties responsible-that
legislative committee is mainly political de-
vice.
BACKWARD CHANCES is ONE OF
The Gazette's most interesting features. If
you haven't discovered this fact, look over
the five, ten, rs and so years ago items this
week.
A quarter of century ago, Redwood
Falls was celebrating its fiftieth birthday.
1889 Redwood Falls looks back on 1914 Red
wood Falls from quite different vantage
point, but it was, admittedly, already quite
town. A progressive citizen had purchas-
ed movie camera to record the event. An
art exhibit here at the time testifies that the
city was not without an appreciation of the
finer things. A mail carrier had purchased
a car. Try and break into the headlines with
that item today.
Five years ago we were jousting with
the problems of relief and drouth. Ten years
ago the park was being enlarged. Fifty
years ago The Gazette complimented Delhi
people, among other things, on paying their
bills-which our subscription list verifies is
still a trait of families up that way. Gophers
were recognized as an agricultural nuisance.
