Here is quotation from prominent American:
Il place economy among the first and most important
virtues and public debt greatest of dangers To preserve
independence let rulers load with per-
petua debt We must make choice between economy and
liberty, profusion and servtude
IF prevent the Government from wasting the labor
people petense of caring for them they will be
happy The prudence which private life would forbid
paying money unexplained projects fobs in the
disposition Of public money"
Dealers would term the quotation reactiOnary The
made by Senator Taft Grover Ceve
land by Jefferson founder of the Demo-
cratic party.
When you great amounts appropriated through the
Federal government don't think it's free It's tax and you
help pay for it.
This blight which threatens Americas freedom is leading
people to believe they will be relieved of much of the burden
of making vng-hat the government will be able to produce
and care But mention made of the increase in
taxation caused by greater government spending.
Individual opportunity has receded in this country the
people swallow bigger bigger doses Of sugarcoaed socialism
We need to Jersons looking at the problem

Dramatic Societies To Give
Interpretation of "Iena Rivers

The Dramatic Clubs of Oakland
High School will present LENA
Rivers" three-act play, on May II,
1949.
The story deals with the plight of
young Lena Rivers and her beloved
Granny Nichols who are compelled to
leave their New England home and
seek refuge with Granny Nichols
son; John Livingston, who has
changed his family name because of
social relations.
Upon arriving at Livingston's
large plantation they are treated as
servants and Mrs. Livingston and
daughter Caroline are worried about
what affect the incident will have on
their social bearing. Caroline's
clover" Durward Belmont, who is to
marry Caroline, becomes very fasci-
mated with Lena and pays his at
tentions to her, much to the astonish-
ment of the wealthy Livingston
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1949-05-05

family.
The younger Livingston daughter,
Anna, and her brother, John Junior,
become firm friends of Lena's and in
turn Lena helps Anna with her ro-
nance with Malcolm Everett. In the
last act, when it looks as though
Lena is going to lose Durward, fate
steps in and proves our heroine's
sterling worth, and the end of the
play is startling indeed.
Participants in the production will
be Lena Rivers, Barbara Winters;
Granny Nichols, Gladys Wensel; John
Livingston, Leo Rowan; Mrs. Living
ston, Barbara Filsinger; Caroline
Livingston, Connie Smith; Anna Liv-
ingston, Nudge Bier; John Junior,
