UMT-An Unnecessary Waste
Of S4.2 Billion Per Year

UMI-An Unnecessary Waste
Of $4.2 Billion Per Year
Mr.. Harry Billings
Dear Editor:
Being we are showed in here, L
thought I should drop you a few lines.
We are passing the time by doing
chores and listening to the radio which
is good pastime but, of course, I hear
some things that hurts my feelings.
over the Havre station they have a
Chinook hour which is pretty good
Wednesday she was telling us how the
Lutefisk was made and, of course, I
happen to be one of them that used to
do that kind of thing some 48 years
ago. She had that down pat. Then we
had some music by some young folks,
which was good too, but then she came
with something about the Russians
which [ don't like. L don't for the life
of me see why some people carry
on that way. Talk about propaganda,
if that's not the word then we don't
have any such thing. / often wonder
if anyone of us had neighbor that
keeps a chewing at US all the time,
everything that was done, was wrong
and no good | wonder how long any
one of us would take that kind of
thing. | don't care what nationality he
or she is or was, you would get tired
Of that sort of thing. To me it looks
like people have forgotten all and
everything in regard to the teaching
of the ten commandments. Yes, even
the words do to others as you want
others to do to you" They call them
selves Christians, but when it comes
to practice it, or carry it out, it's all
forgotten. All there is. to see is that
all mighty dollar, get that regardless.
What ever these leaders tell us to do,
it's got to be done, to me it's too pitt
full for anything.
| just wonder if all the mothers got
together and said, not one of our boys
are going across the sea, what would
happen?
Any time any one of us starts to de-
stroy anything we are locked up. But
those who know how can do most any
thing and get away with it. Too bad
they can't think up something more
pleasant than destruction.
Just think of all the good roads we
could have instead of being snow
bound; all the good schools and hos
pitals etc, with only a fraction of the
money that's used for destroying.
That's about all this time. 1 just
wanted to let you know we are still
alive and are enjoying your paper To
too bad we don't have them by the
thousands who would read The Peo-
pies Voice.-BERGER JOHNSON, Sr.,
Joplin.
P.S. / ran across an article on UNIT |
hat L think should be known to the |
people. UNIT according to the article,
would cost us SAP billion dollars per
ear 1t is absolutely unnecessary, and
t will hurt the young people more than
t will do good. 1t all means to de-
troy and kill your fellowman.
The article goes on to say:
1. You can build a 1O-room modern
chool house in every county in the
TSA for a fraction of the cost of UNIT.
2. You can construct a $4,000 library
4 every county.
g. You can also construct a $3.50, 900
ospital in each county.
T. Employ ten doctors and ten nurses
lll time for school and public health
ervices in each county
5. Purchase 10 modern school buses ;
each county.
IN college with 10 instructors in every
0unty.
10. Provide free education for the /
1ree million children under IS who are
OF now attending school,
H. Pay all expenses of a three-year
ost graduate course for 10000 stu I
ents and scientists each year. /
II, 10. Erect a $750,000 trade and +
school in every congression-
district in the United States. 5
All this for the annual cost of UNIT! Il
