build a strong and dlverslfled CO.

business, big labor, and big gov

Federal Spending
Key To Survival,
Jaycees Warned

A talk on Foundations of
Freedom" was given by ellison
Rowlinson, attorney, formerly
of the Smyrna-Clayton area,
but now living in Texas, at the
meeting of the Smyrna-Clayton
Junior Chamber of Commerce.
The dinner meeting at The Pad
dock was also attended by thir-
teen members of the Newark
Jaycees. Mr.. Rowlinson, who
was visiting his family here, ex-
pressed concern that "some pill
lars in the foundation of our
freedom have fallen in swift de-
cay, the decaying process begun
by aggressive, ruthless politici-
ans who looked only to the
vote-getting ability of their ac-
tionS." 1t will continue, the
speaker stated, unless we find,
nominate, elect and support
rights-conscious and budget
wise men. He referred to the re-
cent decision involving the In
dustrial Personnel Security pro-
gram. He deplored the apathy
toward the giant mortgage, the
wild spending, and the pay
ments due, and said that eff we
do not get more disturbed and
more active we are going to
quietly ignore ourselves into
further insolvency and a more
controlled existence. The pat
tern for socialism will become
a completed uniform and we are
going to find ourselves sewn
right into it," he stated. His
answer to the question, what
needs to be done on this prob
lem?" is that we must "cut out
government 'giverment'." His
suggestions included rededica-
ton to unselfish citizenship; to
revitalize and demand respect
for the 10th amendment; de-
mand extensive judicial back
ground for all members of the
Supreme Court so we return to
a government of laws and not
of men; see a review of all
spending bills before they are
passed; be alert to waste and
inefficiency in government bu-
reaus and agencies, and lobby
by letter vigorously whenever
pillars in the foundation of free
dom are in danger of decay.
