GIBSON GREETING CARDS,

This is one of the four leading
companies which print greeting
cards. It's headquarters are in
Cincinnati, Ohio. All of these COM
panies started in a small way
When / was a boy, there were no
such things as greeting cards.
We had terrible comic valentines
which we sent out to friends and

a future, and I believe 1t has an
even greater future in years to
come. The one thing that we all
are short of is time. Greeting
cards not only retain our circle
of friends, but the sending OF
them takes no time and yet often
takes the place of a letter. They
surely make millions of people
happier.

Something Should Be Done
In High Schools

Years ago it was a discovery
that came step by step. Since the
advent of moving pictures and tele-
vision, too much emphasis has
been put on the act, which may
have no relation to love. But young
people have become so conditioned
to it, they feel it's part of grow
ing up, like high heels and nail
polish"
Honor Mt Home
Mrs. Parker, a teacher from 1916
1928, gave up her career to raise
two daughters. And although she
since has held all the top PTA
Jobs on state and national levels,
she never was president of her loo
cal elementary school PTA in
Grand Rapids. Il thought l couldn't
leave my family and children TO do

But last February the PTA of
Dickinson, that same Grand Rapids
elementary school, delighted h er

I'VE need emphasis on math and

education for family life in every
high school And sex education is
only a part of a far broader pro-

courses in family economics-not
just budgeting, but a thorough

IN THE HANDS OF POLITICIANS

The average American citizen is tired
of the politicians in government and tired
of seeing the country's best interests sold
down the river by selfish politicians, seek
ing personal gain, publicity and votes.
There are few genuine statemen these
days (and maybe their number has ali
ways been smalD the pressure groups and
highly organized special interest blocs have
now gained so much influence that most
politicians do their bidding.
The average Congressman, and Senator,
in Washington, is deathly afraid of often
ding the minority groups, whether these
groups are pushing something that is good
or bad for the country. They are afraid to
buck the special interest boys with fat
lobbying account able to control votes in
an election, and they seldom tell the racial
or religious groups which seek special adj
vantage to go jump in the lake.
Why is this? One of the reasons is that
the majority is not organized. The minor
tiles organize and swing more weight than
the majority in the United Stats. The min
critics have so bamboozled the majority in
this country that the majority can no long
er fight for the majority, and its way of
life and viewpoint. If citizens of the ma
jority do this they are automatically label
ed as prejudiced, or bigots.
How far this process goes will, in large
measure, determine the future course of the
United States. The country was founded
by people seeking freedom from Cypress
ion, totalitarian authority and taxation
without representation. The country now,
sings the tune of the leftwing blocs and
groups, from the President himself on
down. These special interest groups are a
minority but they have intimidated the av-
erage politician today to such an extent that
they have won control of the government,
to large extent.

GOOD TIME FOR A LOOK

1t is now an open secret that the Secur-
tiles and Exchange Commission, concern
ed over the extent of the public's involve
ment in stocks, has undertaken an extern
sive examination into the securities market.
Under the stimulus of misdeeds which nee
essitated suspension of two members of the
American Stock Exchange, the SEC is wis
ely beginning its thorough study at this
time.
For the present bull market, with its
huge turnover in shares, represents per-
feet set up for INSCRIPTIONS traders who
may feel inclined to fleece unsuspecting
sheep. This possibility is especially great in
the over the counter market
These transactions, as differentiated
from those on the big Board and other
registered exchanges, take place in the
main beyond the purview of federal regu-
latory agencies. Shares traded here frequen-
thy change hands rapidly with a subsequent
wide fluctuation in price. If there is a SER
ious chance of trouble, it is in this area.
Those who know and understand what
the SEC is doing will not be misled nor
panicked 1t is better for this agency to
examine a healthy and confident market
than to sit back to wait for a collapse
and then conduct a post norton. This is
what happened in the early Cos. 1t would
be stupid to repeat that error.

Dear Friends:

A LOOK AT FREEDOM RIDERS

One of the idealistic-minded individuals
who was sucked in on the Freedom Riders
recent exhibitions has spoken his piece. No
longer able to justify his behavior in his
own conscience, this misguided soul has
told the truth on the agitators.
The Chicago Baptist minister, who has
been working in that city with underprivil-
eyed Negro children for three years, re-
Gently flew to the South to join the Free
dom Rider because he thought they were
crusading for just cause and were sim
cere.
But, he now reveals, he found his COM
rades quite different. When he learned, af-
ter being arrested and jailed of the GRIMM
al records of some of the agitators, he was
surprised and questioned his corridors about
the records. Their attitude was one of, $50
what?
Then as he learned to know the people
he had joined so impulsively, better and
better, he heard them argue that the COM
munist were not behind the San Francisco
riots of 1860 (Which the government has
now we'll established), and that they
the Freedom Riders-would join the comm
unists if the communists were doing some
thing good.
Such talk, deceit and atheism, among
the Freedom Riders, finished the Rev.
Richard Gleason, "a, he admits. And he
advises others who might be tempted by the
flood of anti-South propaganda to join
them to look over Freedom Riders and 9th
err agitators carefully before joining their
efforts. They are not the kind of people
they are cracked up to be--he says frank

Brazil simply butts his foe into
