THE AMERICAN Wly
ROBBING OUR CHILDREN

A great deal of the spend
ing we, as a nation, have been
doing over the past 20 years,
is going to be charged up to
our children and our grand
children. Our youngsters, born
and unborn, who have had no
voice in the creation of the
huge national debt we oldsters
have piled up, will be present
ed with the bill for our ex-
travagant folly.
For our own selfish benefit,
we have been deliberately
robbing our children of their
heritage what is worse, we
will leave them a legacy of
heart-aches and backbreaking
debts.
We Americans point to our
selves with great pride - have
we not established the finest
economy for all classes that
the world has ever known?
But really we should view with
great alarm the spending
binge which we have not only
condoned but have actually
abetted. We, who consider our
selves a high-minded people,
have actually been dishonest
because we are intelligent en-
ough to know that as nation
we have been giving out prom
issory notes-With no idea of
ever paying them ourselves.
For two and half decades,
we have listened to and heed
ed the preaching of men who
have had the unbalanced train
ing of welfare workers - men
who are experts in the distri-
button of wealth but know
nothing and care less about
how wealth is produced. 'Tis
true the things they advocate
are eminently desirable in
themselves - better housing,
old age pensions, etc, etc,
and there is rightfully in this
country strong tide of senti-
ment for better things for
everyone. But we have let our
emotional sentiments destroy
our sense of values and have
taken no thought as to when
these things are to be paid for
and by whom.
In the first stages Of the
spending orgy, we spent on
ourselves, but in the second
stage, we were not content
with this; we took on a great

Surplus Food

A problem of our day and gen.
GRAFTON is the tremendous food
surplus. What other nations and
other times would regard as a
blessing, seems to us to be a
curse. There is surplus in this
part of the world and starvation
elsewhere. Indeed, our surplus
should be a propaganda item,
broadcast behind the iron and
bamboo curtains to people who
have never known of any surplus
except a surplus of oppression
and tyranny.
Here at home we find individ-
ual want and need in spite of
national plenty. The Department
of Agriculture is undertaking a
program of distribution to the
unfortunate. AT the present time,
distribution is being made to
2,928,973 needy persons living at
home. More than $4,000 of these
are Ohioans. In addition to these

the authority is to have operational and

Blueprint for Reforms

The McKinsey report criticizing adj
ministration of the Montgomery County
public schools is not document to be
taken lightly. The McKinsey firm was
employed by the County Council and
the Board of Education to study the
present management policies and pro-
cedures and to recommend improve
ments. It's findings, therefore, may be
regarded as objective and nonpolitical.
And its recommendations for sweeping
reorganization of budgetary, purchasing,
planning and other activities constitute
a blueprint for reforms that could save
the county money while assuring a better
school system.
OF particular interest to the citizens
will be the charges that tax dollars have
been wasted in the past by poor planning
Of school construction, lack of foresight
In site acquisition, loose supervision OF
building designs, almost lavish" facili-
ties, inadequate maintenance and other
types of "mismanagement." The dis
closure that the county is spending about
100000 year on architects fees should
serve to reinforce the experts sugges-
ton that consideration be given to Gre
ating a county architects Office.
Montgomery taxpayers will want an
explanation by the Board of Education
of the charges. that spending for new
schools has not been properly controlled,
that funds have been shifted from one
account to another in efforts to provide
latter the fact" accounting and that
Federal funds have been improperly used
to fill deficits caused by overspending.
With the county facing further OUTLAWS
for schools during the next five years
totaling $50 million, the citizens have
right to demand some assurance that
this huge sum will be spent more pru-
IDENTIFY than seems to have been the case
in the past.
