GETTING GOVERNMENT OUT OF
BUSINESS

Some good news which hasn't received as
much notice as it deserves is coming out of
Washington.
Joseph Terrell of the Wall Street Journal
reports: "A major Eisenhower Administra-
tion move toward freer enterprise-yanking
Uncle Sans long hand out of competition
with private buSineSS-is gathering new mo-
mentum." Various government business Op-
erations- ranging from a steel foundry to
housing developments been sold to
private enterprise. Of greater moment the
chances seem to be improved for law changes
which will eliminate certain obstacles to the
get-out-of- business drive.
A recent Budget Bureau survey shows
how deeply government has gone into bust
ness. To quote Mr.. Terrell again: cal
though by no means all-inclusive, the survey
found Uncle Sam has his finger in almost 20
thousand commercial or industrial actiVi-
ties -. with total assets of nearly S119 bill
lion" He also says: "The military men,
deeper into business activities than their ci-
william colleagues, are apparently leading the
way in getting out of them. In all, the De-
fense Department has reviewed almost 1000
business-type installations for possible dis
card"
The benefits that result from getting gov
ernment out of business are many. For one
thing, sale of the properties could bring
huge sums to the Treasury, to be used for
debt reduction or tax reduction. For an
other, when these businesses go into private
hands, they become impoverished of
subsidized tax-eaters Most important by
far in the long run, every time government
takes step in this direction, the free enter
prise system, upon which representative gov
ernment itself rests, is strengthened and vi
talized.

the twelfth chapter of Ecclesiastes
and the thirteenth chapter of first
Corinthians.
Looking Centuries Ahead
The actual Bible which l read
was published in 1549 by my an
cestor, Reverend John Rogers, who
later was burned at the stake"
in London for looking ahead. After
reviewing these five visitors,
wonder if there may not be time
ahead OF us when the possessing of
something not now considered of
value may be recognized as the onyl
true wealth. The Old Testament
Prophets may have had it in mind
when they talked about "JEHO-
VAH"; Jesus, when He talked
about LOVE; and the Early
Church leaders when they wrote
of the "HOLY SPIRIT. Most re-
ligions now use these words in
their creeds; but very few of their
followers. including those of us
W NuO Cdl1 Oui OClFGC SAll 1OIldIS
treat these unseen forces as wealth.
This is not surprising, as it took
our ancestors million years TO
awake to the power of electricity!
t is even possible that the atoms
of the physicists may also be 'pea-
nuts" I don't know
I am inclined to believe that
too many of us are wasting our
lives in things that do not really
help to give us health. happiness.
or power. Perhaps real wealth is
something that cannot Oe touched.
or seen. or even deposited in
hank or kent in safe-depnsit box.
I do, however, forecast that the
time will come whom it will be
recognized that wealth is not what
rearlv everyone now considers
wealth" tn he

Miss Sanches is a strong, sturdy
gal who gets off booming drives.
Her weakness is on the greens.
i've got to work and work ON
my putting" Miss Sanches says
Wanda's drives were so terrific
in the Southern Women's Amateur
that in one match, she putted for
brides on eight of the IL holes
she played with Mrs. Sam Byrd of
Birmingham, Ala, wife of for
mer New York Yankee outfielder.
She defeated Mrs Byrd and 6.
When she isn't playing golf, Miss
Sanches works in her mothers
florist shop in Baton Rouge. Tall
and rather timid, Wanda's eyes
sparkle when anyone mentions the
possibility of her joining the pro-
fessional ranks of women golfers.
Il really haven't given a pro
golf career much thought Miss
Sanches says. 81 don't know
it all depends"

Dear Friends:
We left our Milford last Tues
day morning early with five Dick
ersons in our station wagon, plus
Sambo, our Boston terrier. Hayes
niece, Jack Dickerson, of Sails
bury, Maryland, made our extra
passenger.
For us turnp kes are wonderful.
We like to make the gap between
home and Kansas as quickly IS
possible and don't care about the
scenery in between. We went all
the way on the Pennsylvania turn
pike and turned off the Ohio one at
Lorain, Ohio, between Cleveland
and Toledo). 1t was our intention
to spend that night 1T a motel
right on Lake Erie. We were
greatly disappointed in the great
lakes resort area. We rode
through several little communities
off the lake, but none of them
seemed to be too interested in
drawing tourists trade. Conse-
quentlv we were unable to find our
motel there for the evening. This
was my first sight of any of the
five Great Lakes and | must say /
expected more.
One town did have lovely homes
built by canals and the owners
had their private boats locked
right at their front doors. Fishing
was much in evidence. We saw one
man with a home made bow and
arrow that had tin can fastened
to his bow. 1t contained string to
his arrow and he was fishing in
this fashion. | would have loved
to watch his accuracy, but by this
time motel was uppermost in our
minds. We finally had to go on to
Toledo and found a motel outside
of Waterville, Ohio. I'd rather stay
in a larger town at night because
| think you have better selection
in your choice of motels and res
taurants. This wasn't so with us
at Waterville. Our motel was very
comfortable and our dinner was
excellent Hayes and | always pre-
fer roquefort dressing on our sal
ads which we had that evening,
am sure never will be topped.
Great big hunks of cheese that just
made me want to bottle some up
and bring it home with us.
At Fort Wayne, Indiana, we lost
quite a bit of time hunting fer
John Chapman's grave. You know
who he was John Chapman was
better known as Johnny Apple
Seed" the pioneer who in the lat
ter part of the eighteenth century
travelled over hundreds of miles of
country planting apple seeds so
the pioneers would have shade and
fruit as they followed him west in
later years.
Lynne and Jack passed their
time riding playing games. One
would see who could find so Fords
before the other found so Chevro-
lets. Another game was trying to
complete the alphabet by billboard

In Logansport, Indiana. wbiFa
Hayes was getting gas in the csT
| ran across the street to a drive
in for cokes and ice cream cones
The girl who waited on me want
ed to know if we were travelling.
/ told her we were; from Delaware
to Kansas. | was surprised when
she said she was a native Della
warean, from Wilmington. AT a
stop light in Hannibal, Missouri,
we met our Topeka next door
neighbor face to face They were
heading for Detroit and their leave
and we yelled to each other and
headed in opposite directions. This
frequently seems to happen 10 us,
but | still get excited over such
chance meetings.
In Springfield, Illinois, we spent
quite a bit of time showing Jack
Lincoln's tomb, his home the only
one he ever owned) and then in
New Salem we saw the log cabin
where Lincoln spent his years pri-
or to becoming a lawyer.
think we have stayed in Spring
field about eight different times and
we have never before seen inside
his home. | was much impressed
with it. As we entered the hall
there on a mirrored hat rack we
saw Abe's tall silk hat thrown over
a peg and below ii hung his shawl
1t certainly did give you an odd
feeling. In the living room over
the mantel were pictures of Martha
and George Washington, whom Lin
coin greatly admired. Mrs. Lin
coins own shells were placed on
the floor at the tail end of her
draperies. Why | shall never tell
you. Certainly they weren't spit
toons and the only other explana-
tion would be to keep the draperies
weighted in place.
The china in the dining room1I
would have loved to have Sueaked
into our station wagon. It was
white with delicate colors. The or
iginal wallpaper in Mr. Lincoln:s
room was still on the wall, under
glass. Wash bowls, pitchers, and
dishes with lye soap were in each
bedroom. In the kitchen / was
real pleased to see a wooden knife
and fork box. All the time was in
Milford | hunted for such a box
to place cOlored water glasses in
and finally found the one | wanted
at Mordington. In Lincoln's day
they used these boxes to carry sill
yer from the kitchen to the dining
room to set the table. s
In Hannibal, Missouri, we show
ed Jack Mark Twain's home and
the fence that inspired Mr.. Glenn
ems to write about Tom Sawyer
and Huckleberry Fin. II
Next week I'll write to you about
hot ole Topeka.
Always,
