noticed from one section Of the country to
another.
The battle over the commercialsm of col
lege football, and the great pressure which
builds up on coaches and colleges to win,
and the counter-pressure which generates
among some intellectuals and the guardians
of campus balance and perspective will con-
tinue for many years. We are not capable
of supplying the answers to solve all the
problems involved. 1t is good to keep in
mind, however, that football is sometimes
over-emphasized at our colleges and univer-
sites to the detriment of majority of the
students.
Most football coaches, more than anyone
else, deplore this situation, for it also
makes their job precarious. It is nice to win.
of course, but in every game where there is
winner. there must also be loser, and it
is good to keep this in mind.

EVEN though most of the things in this
u country were built on credit, debt is still
looked upon as being the road to ruin. 1t is
a favorite whipping boy Of the demagogue
and the politician And the statement that
a federal debt in this country exceeding
s75, 600, 100000 would unquestionably lead
to complete national insolvency is still we'll
recalled even though our debt is now more
than three times that figure.
But we seldom worry about the right
debts.
Because it is all pulled together in one
place, our net federal debt is usually look
ed upon as the one most likely to knock the
bottom out of our boat. Yet on a per person
basis. our federal debt has actually de-
clined slightly during the last ten years. In
1947-1949 the net federal debt, on per per-
son basis, for our labor force averaged, 49,
500 By 1956-1958 it had declined on per
person basis, to S3,240. Actually it had not

declined of course. Our population had
grown and the debt per person was less
than it had been ten years earlier.
But during that same period, private
debt in this country had increased on per
person basis. from S3,l4O to $4,000 - a
whopping So per cent increase. That seemed
like a lot.
But take look at state and local gov
eminent debt where in l947-49 it averaged
$3.50 per person. BY 1868 it had in
creased to 500 per person-an increase of
1876 per cent in ten years whereas on the
per person basis the federal debt had actu-
ally declined per cent during that period.
This is not to prove the debt - be it state,
local, private or federal - is good or bad
but these figures do reveal some trends
worth bearing in mind as we go about this
business of deciding what we can afford to
do ourselves and what our governments can
afford to do.

POETS

It seems to me, most poets write
In an ambiguous way;
And in q manner quite obstruse,
Their thoughts to US convey.
Most modern verse the critics praise,
Lacks in Iucidity;
And thot is why the stuff they write,
Does not appeal to me.
They do not soy just what they mean.
But rather they digress;
And as for what they have II mind,
Quite often, we must guess.
The critics do not highly rate
A man like Edgar Guest;
And yet Of all our modern verse,
His verse is loved the best.
His verse is loved because he writes
For folks like you and me;
In simple words he writes about
The folks and thinQs we see
The hiqhbrow verse that critics praise,
But few can understand;
And simple verse thot most enjoy,
IS by the critics ponned.
Perhaps we're more erudite
And saw like highbrows see,
! would not then SO much dislike
The highbrow poetry.
But being os am, my friends,
Without erudition,
TO understand this highbrow stuff,
have no voIition.

Parliament Election

QR1TISHERS went to the polls Thursday
to elect Parliament, the results of
which affect the United States second only
to it's own elections. England and the Unit
ed States are the closest two nations in the
world held so by ties of language. race Gull
ture, and historical background. England
served many years as the mistress of the
seas, and the balance of power in the world.
She controlled every narrow body of water
or strait in the world, and her powerful
navy welded in farm influence in world af-
fairs. She was great colonist, and we may
say good colonist, which kept the nations
on an even keel by centuries Of world politi-
cal experience and know-how. Whether we
like it or not England still exerts salutary
controls in world affairs in cooperation
with the United States, which was catapult-
ed into position of world leadership with
limited preparation.
England is divided into $50 constitu-
encies. each Of which elects one member of
the House of Commons. The political party
with the ajoritv in the House of Com
mons controls Parliament and is called
upon by the Queen to form government.
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1959-10-09

The leader of the party becomes her prime
minister
In the election Thursday Incumbent
Prime Minister Harold Macmillan repre-
sents conservative thought in England. He
has worked closely with the United States
during his administration. Also, seeking
election to the House of Commons is anOth-
er great force, Winston Churchill con-
sentative who is still active despite his ad
vancing age of "a. Opposing Macmillan is
Hugh Gaitskell, the Labor Party leader,
man of pleasing personality and appeal to
the liberal forces. Should his party win,
Aneurin Bevan, once prime minister, an ul-
ira liberal, would become foreign minister.
At this time in world history, when the
happy and close alliance between Britain
and the United States is of such import
ance, the election of the Laborites might
affect the well established policies now in
effect between the two nations. Certainly
another experiment in radical sociaistic
doctrines would weaken England in time
when recovery is making much progress.
We hope the Conservatives will be returned
to power in England.
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1959-01-23

The plan is as yet INFESTED,
Mrs. Sterling said, and that is
the reason why they would
like to use homes located in
Columbus where authorities
could supervise and help both
child and foster family, espe-
cially by using the education
al facilities at the State
School.
Mrs. Sterling stated that il
is a policy to place children
with q family Of the same re-
lisiovs background, IL at all
possible. At present, there are
two little Catholic girls and
three little Catholic boys who
need foster homes.
Admitting that there are
definite problems in caring
for retarded children, over
and above the ordinary ones,
Mrs. Sterling earnestly hopes
someone will answer her plea
for these forlorn, unloved
youngsters, plodding through
a bleak existence who look
forward to having a home like
other children.
