Needless to add, in view of these
considerations, plus the fact that sur
plus production is currently one of
the major agricultural problems, I
will vote against the Upper Colorado

You may think member of your
congressional delegation is kidding
when he gets back home and reports
another victory over, Or loss to, those
in Congress who bitterly oppose rec
lamation development in the West.
But he's telling the truth. The fol-
lowing is quoted in its entirety from
a recent news letter by Representa-
tive August E. Johansen, Republi-
can, of Michigan's Third District,
which includes the industrial city of
Battle Creek and the rich farmland
around it:
GA notorious example of the left
hand deliberately ignoring what the
right hand is doing is provided by
multi-billon dollar reclamation prof.
ects proposed from time to time in
Congress.
"These projects call for expendi-
ture of vast sums of the taxpayers
money to provide high price marginal
crop lands at the very time the gov
eminent and the farmers are Crap
ping with problems of SURPRISES and
lowered farm prices, and
while high grade land is intention
ally being kept out of production.
"On two occasions during the first
session of the 84th Congress l voted
against such reclamation tax-grabs.
"With the opening of the new ses-
sion of Congress in January, it is
that new major pro-
posal of this type will be brought to
a vote.

nation of hard work and stick-to-

success; nor that everything comes
to him who waits; nor even that
the good are always rewarded.
That is simply not true, if you are
thinking in a worldly sense. Many
people have worked, worked hard.
all their lives, only to see every
thing they possessed vanish in the
end. Others have sat and waited.
Many of them starved to death.
And, sad but true, saints have been
fed to the lions. No, members of
the graduating class, you are GO
ing out into a very impersonal
world. 1t is a world that is, and
always has been, subjected to war
fare, pestilence, famine, and in
justice. Most of the progress that
mankind has made for centuries
has been along materialistic lines.
That is the tragedy of our life.
We have progressed in this
country from the oxcart, to the
horse and buggy age, to the auto
mobile age, and now we are start
ing a new phase, the atomic age.
At the same time we have been
involved in major war every gem
Grafton or so. We have advanced
medicine to the point where people
are living to an average age of
seventy, then turn around and de-
velop few programs to give pur-
pose to the lives of older people;
nor do we reorient our thinking
to include them as important mem
bers of society-except in unusual
cases. We insist on more education
for the youth of the land, but, in
too many instances, refuse to fl
nance buildings, equipment, and
teachers salaries adequately. We
put SO much emphasis on the i'm
portance of money that men go
out and steal and swindle in order
to be acceptable to their fellow
man. Then we throw them into
prison to punish them, giving little
thought to retraining their ways
of thinking through the adequate
use of the sciences of psychology
and psychiatry.
Where are the moral and spirit
ual values that should be the
foundation upon which all else
rests ? Indeed, did any but small
minority of. the people of any age
really possess them? This is the
direction in which you should bend
all your energies, for without these
values, without q proper regard for
the rights and privileges of others,
all the material wealth that the
world can produce will fail to
bring you any true satisfaction.

to thinking of life in terms of a
catch-as-catch-can race, that per-
haps we should take stock of this
attitude. The things we enjoy the
most are those that are based on
the universal rules of harmony and
order. Take the orchestra or band,
for instance. What would be
thought of band in which each
performer was taught that success
consisted of making more noise
than was made by any other per-
former? Think of the hideous rack
ct which would result! Yet this
has, to a large extent, been the
principle on which mankind so
often has organized its social and
economic life. By doing the best
you can with the talents you have,
by refusing to envy those who
have, by one means or another,
gained greater material rewards
than you have, and, above all, by
continuing to make new friends
and keeping the old, you can be
the generation that will have the
distinction of at least bringing har-
mony to world relations, because
you will be well-adjusted as indi-
viduals. Wars and their concomi-
tant hatreds and heartbreak have
always had their bases in the
psychological problems of man.
These in turn have had their roots
in irrational hatred or envy-and
these ills have their foundation in
some profound inward discomfort.
Dedicate yourselves to the search
for the true values of all things,
and you will find yourself rich in
that inner glow that money has
never been able to buy.
If l sounded bit pessimistic

cause the facts warrant that at

to tell you that you are the hope
of the woodland I'm not going
to change my mind, on that. 1 am
going to say this: If there is to
be hope for this earth; if we are
going to realize to the fullest the
still-undreamed-of fruits of the
atomic age; then it is we, all of
US in this room, and all of us liv-
ing in the world today, who are
the only hope. The thinking of
mankind as whole must be
changed. You are probably the
most important part because your
minds are not yet set in definite
tracks from which there's little
turning, short of charge of dyna-
mite. You have not yet become en-
Uttered because of reverses of for
tune. 1t is for this very reason
that if you learn early to recognize
everything at it's true value, you
can still lead mankind towards the
goals of happiness and friendship.
We older ones may be little hard
to convince at times. We don't al
ways have too much faith in the
counsel of younger minds. But
perseverance will win out. Just
keep the goal in sight, and don't
be afraid to take chances as long
as your cause is worthy one.
