There has Just to attention highly profession
al analysis of sociology textbooks which should be read by
every school college professor and parent Ame
1t brings to light shocking facts about textbooks
widely used in high schools and colleges. The author
DR. A. H. Hobbs professor of sociology at the University OF
Pennsylvania, says of the most widely used sociology
textbooks dstOrng facts using devious and subtle tech
niques to convince high school and college youth
That religion should discard mysticism, supernatural
ISM ritual and tradition and adjust to conditions OF modern
society by concentrating crusades against certain eco
monte and social conditions;
q That educational practices and principles which in
Vove discipline drill and the teaching OF traditional be-
efs about the government the family the economic
TEN inefficient and harmful;
g. That government should actively provide people with
security equality, happiness and developed personalities
that increased governmental control business and indus
try important step toward attainment of the de-
sired goals but that such controls constitute only phase
of broader social planning;
That maldistributiOn of wealth and income and un-
empoyment the outstanding characteristics of pi
vate enterprise economic SYSTEM and that government
troll of business and planning by social engineers will
eliminate maldstributon and will provide people with
curity;
5. That the rising divorce rate may be good sight
nearly harbnger of family reorganization than an
index of disorganzation and that cOmpanonate mar
riages are desirable
DR. Hobbs cites other controversial conclusions which
he contends fostered by the most widely used sociology
textbooks His book is entitled The Claims of Sociology
Critique of Textbooks The publisher is The SackpOe Co.,
Harrisburg, Pa.
Attention directed this comprehensive analysis of

It's never wise to spend yourself
on anything that binders others,
hurts God and hampers your own
moral growth.
We read in the Bible that no
man liveth unto himself. If that
weren't in the Bible, it would still
be true. Life wraps us up in the
same bundle. What you do or don't
do affects somebody else. You
can't divorce your actions from
the effects they will have on 9TH
ers. If man would only injure
himself when he stoops to the gut
tiers of existence, it wouldn't be
quite SO bad. But his family suf-
fers and his friends are embar-
raised. The opposite is also true
When a man brings honor and re-
spect to himself, others share the
glory.
Elevate your concern for all
those about you and you'll have a
worthy purpose, the word that can
change your life.

1t is at last running into diff

The billion dollar propaganda ma

The crimes committed by IVA

extent of this villainy we should

by which it grew.
Power hungry bureaucrats long

constitutional limitations imposed
upon government. They reasoned
that the words in the Constitution

To develop this loop-hole in the

The state of affairs with which
the Treasury is now confronted
emphasizes the need for action. SO
far as the Treasury is concerned,
it has taken what action it could
to prevent new bypassing of the
review boards for the purpose of
committing uneXpended balances.
Its difficulty is that it still does
not know exactly how many con-
tracts are still out or when they
will turn up. While the bypassing
has been stopped so far as EXecu-
tive action can stop it, Congress
itself must act to end the practice
of appropriating ahead which has
resulted in loss of congressional
control over the budget as well as
an admitted sickness of our FEEDER
al finances. "This condition." the
Guaranty Trust Bulletin says, "is
the result of many years of wrong
doing" "The correction" it as
serts, may take time, but it can
be accomplished if the will to
accomplish it continues strong
enough"

regulate commerce became the
socialistic weapon needed to po-
litically take over, to own and oper-
ate, both the facilities of COM
merce and the elements of pro-
duction.
Using the 1916 National De-
Tense Act as an entering wedge,
private enterprise was refused the
right to develop the Tennessee
River and the bureaucrats launched
the Infamous Muscle Shoals fiasco.
Becoming so disreputable by 1898,
it had to be abolished-thc name
was changed to Tennessee Valley
Authority and the corruption was
expanded.
Organized under the pretense Of
controlling floods and improving
navigation, IVA permanently
flooded more tillable land than the
Tennessee River had ever flooded
before. BY building high dams on
the river, IVA so complicated the
navigation problem that more tax
millions were appropriated to
other federal agencies to reestab-
fish minimum navigation facilities
Failing to fulfill its asserted pur-
poses, IVA was quick to exploit
its by-products of water and cleo
tricity In so doing it became the
proprietor of countless other bust
nesses, such as Fairgrounds, hotels,
saloons and restaurants.
To constantly expand this at
tack upon private enterprise, IVA
has, at taxpayers expense, kept
two powerful Hobbies going in
Washington. One team pressures
Congress into giving IVA more
millions Of tax dollars at every op-
portunity. The other pressures in
! dustrialists seeking government
contracts to locate their plants in
the IVA area.
The first team gets the tax
money under pretense Of solving
the power shortage; the other
keeps customers from private en-
terprise areas and increases Twas
power shortage Both teams work
hard to prevent Congressional in
vestigation Of this corruption.
This year, IVA wanted more
billions of tax dollars from Con-
gress. The demand was trimmed
to $187 million of loot for the 1853
hand-out. But the people are get
ting mad at this senseless plumber
ing, so Congress is tightening the
purse strings just a little.
More than that, the Hell's Cam
/ yon and the Niagara Rivcl projects
have been taken away from the
bWeaucrats to let private enter
prise develop its own resources in
the American way. 1t has become
apparent that only self-sustaining,
tax paying, rent paying. cost pay
ing private enterprises can provide
American industry with the electric
power it needs, when it needs it,
without involving political plumber.
IVA should be abolished, and
its properties and facilities sold
back to the American people. This
will never be done until we get
mad enough to add a 23rd Amend
ment to our Constitution to pro-
vide that.
THE GOVERNMENT OF THE
UNITED STATES SHALL NOT
ENGAGE IN ANY BUSINESS,
PROFESSIONAL, COMMERCIAL,
FINANCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL
ENTERPRISE EXCEPT AS
SPECIFIED IN THE CONSTI-
TUITION.
