Delinquency Causes

determination of the State Water Control
Board to force this municipality to install
a sewage disposal ant and system
the cost of which is estimated at $49o,O00.
1t is possible that the citizens will have to
face a board directive forcing the issuance
of bonds but we believe the Water Control
Board can in good grace reconsider the
Farmville proposal to treat Is per cent OF
the sewage within ten years and the re-
naming 25 per cent of the sewage within
the following ten years. This program APP
pears reasonable to the Herald, especially
in view of the fact that tests and analysis
show that there is no excessive pollution
in the AppomatoX river from the dissharge
of sewage at the present.
We believe the interest created on Tues
day will continue and we are sure
that Farmvilc will always have good gov

zenry.

classics give a distorted, superficial con-
ception of the original and usually result
in the real book never being read"
This may be called a purst view, but
it has much to commend it. However, the
answer in the case of these less objection
able comics is not action by civic groups to
persuade news stalls and drug stores not
to carry them. 1t rests with the school and
the home to cultivate in children standards
of taste that will help them to prefer bet

soda pop may be better than taste for

We believe there are some Oregon con-

not only pays lip service to economy and
efficiency in government. but does some
thing about it, Too long have members of
congress continued to spend public funds
uneconomically and too long have we, the
people, accepted handouts from Washing

Thank goodness, there is one place in
the United States of 968 citizens who have
the audacity to bring this obvious waste
of public funds to the attention of their
representatives in no uncertain terms.
When and if more towns have this type Of
determination, the congress- may be able to
balance the budget and incidently the
postal rates will remain at a reasonable

late by hundreds of other towns and cities
throughout the United States, if we ever
hope to maintain the Republic and bring
congress and congressman back to earth
again.
The town fathers and the Condor Com

preparation Of $4,000 to build post
office Condon's 96S rugged individuals
thought it was time to do something about
il, and according to the Oregon Journal of
Portland the Commercial Club passed a
resolution to the effect:
THE proposed appropriation of $215,-
GOO is far out of proportion to the needs of
Condon so, apparently are appropriations
for most of the other cities; an investga-
ton ought to be held to see if the same
thing is going on in other states.

And twilight time as night drows nigh.
They will remember summer skies
When on LIES rood they have grown wise,

And ripping fields Of gross and groin.

Ticks are not only irritating

infested areas should be sprayed
regularly. Never remove the
ticks by hand Pick them of with

can of kerosene.
Kennel quarters should be
thoroughly disinfected regularly,
and all refuse cleaned from the
kennel daily. Sanitation makes

well ventilated In summer The

president sought this strength IN the Ma
honal Assembly in order to pass amend
ments to the Constitution-one of which
would have made him virtual dictator of
South Korea.
The South Korean President was also
rebuffed by South Korean votes in view
OF the fact that he had asked them not ia
return any members of the old National
Assembly, which he had called the worst
ne had ever seen. Despite this. about one
fourth of the old Assembly was reelected
and the leader Of the major opposition
party was reelected, as we'll as other kew
opposition leaders.
It now appears that President Rhee
might have a difficult time in getting the
tWo-thirds maj GRITTY vote in the National
Assembly, to amend the Constitution as
he would like. His Slim majority makes
such an effort highly uncertain. The cleo
ton results, as we see them, are a victory

Amos Saw 1t Coming

Amos predicted that his country
would soon fall because Of its
sins, and fall it did. No doubt the
drinkers of his day thought their
liquor drinking helped them TO
escape from their troubles; Amos
could see that il only brought on
more troubles. The truth about
liquor is seldom to be had from
people who are its victims. more
seldom still from those who make
money by it, Ministers. doctors,
welfare workers, see the situation
from the standpoint of those who
have to try to patch up the wrecks.

pie, are not made so by strong

Korean Democracy

THE elections to fill 2o3 Assembly seats
in South Koreas National Assembly
proved a dSap pointment to the most hope
full of President Syngman Rhees hackers.
Early returns show that 90 officially-en-
dorsed candidates were apparently elected.
These candidates. members of the official
Liberal Party, constitute almost fifty per
cent OF the National Asscmbly's member
ship.
Another sixteen Liberty Party candi-
dates without the official backing of the
Party also won seats. Some of them may
return to President Rhees official Liberal
Party fold at later dates.
President Rhee can count on the four
votes of one minor party to give him, with
his 80 loyal Liberal Party votes, a Slim
majority in the National Assembly. Thus.
the South Korean President is seemingly
assured Of the votes necessary to pass the
major bills in his legislative program.
The major significance of the election
returns, however is that President Rhee's
appeal for two-thrds majority in the
National Assembly has been denied. The

its. these acts. these customs, he
would say--these are what our
country is dying from. These
things are fatal. So it was in

Liquor Is Not Alone
1t is only fanatics who believe
that some one sin is by itself
destroying the country. No sin,
in fact exists by itself Also it is
true that when a country is de-
stroyed, as Israel was destroyed.
It dies Of more than one disease.
The prophet Amos named a num-
Der OF evils which were eating
into the vitality Of his nation and
people. The consumption Of liquor
was one Of these. But Amos never
said that liquor was the only thing
wrong with his country. He as
sociates It with selfshness, greed.
Indifference to real problems,
adultery, dishonesty and other
sins. One of the bad features of
liquor is that 1t attaches itself to
other evils and makes them worse.
There would be speeding on the
highways even if everyone were
always cold sober; but drinking
drivers make the problem worse
and the accidents more often
fatal. {There really can't be such
a thing as a drunken driver-a
drunk can't drive at all. It's the
drinking drivers who make the

countries where alcoholic drinks
are completely forbidden. But
liquor pushes many young people
over the edge who without it could
retain their seh-control and self
respect, but with it in them, lose
both.

The Best People

In the time of Amos he took note
Of some quite respectable" peo-
pie who we're drinkers. Church
goers he mentions first of all, peo-
pie who drink wine in the house
Of their god" (This Of course has
nothing whatsoever to do with the
communion service. a sacrament
instituted by Christi He condemns
these church-g oers more than he
does the riff-raff It is worse for
some people to drink than it is for
others; and perhaps worst Of all
for church people. After all is said
and done, people who know little
and may care less about what is
right and what Is wrong, win think
that anything church member
does must be all right. One church
member who is known to drink,
even il he Is very temperate about
1t, can do more harm than a dozen
alcoholics. Another respectable
class Amos mentions are the worn-

these ladies'; on the contrary he
calls them cattle, kline Of Ba-
