Net Discouraged

The Committee for Fair Rep.
resentation is by no means dis
couraged at the events of this
session. We now mean to act in
concert with other interested
groups to impress upon the
courts and upon the leadership
of both political parties the need
for an effective, permanent So
luton.
With an enlightened public,
led by a vigorous and fortnight
press, we are confident that
either existing or new leader
ship will widen the range of po-
litical possibility. We thank you
for the attention you have given
this fundamental problem in
state government in your pages
in the past year. We are conf
dent that you will continue to
urge fair, equitable, and last
ing solution to our foremost
public problem.
Much remains to be done, but
done 1t will be. An awakening
must follow such uneasy sleep.

Executive Vice Pres.

armed aggression? What then
of the new Kennedy defense
budget? 1t adds a token of
men to the ground forces, it
adds two hundred planes for
airift, and sets up funds to
study" the problem of con-
ventional wars. Is it, ultimate
ly the missile gap" which de-
tiers us? Again, the new de-
Tense budget scarcely alters
the weapons mix" recon-
mended by former President
Eisenhower. No, it has to be
that the risks involved and the
eventual costs of taking a firm
stand in Laos, and, perhaps,
Southeast Asia, are too great
for the Western Alliance.
Reverberations of this deci-
sion will echo through the
little nations of Africa and
South America for many years
to come. The pressure of Com
munist military conquests can
be expected to increase and ac-
celerate as result of this
peaceful coexistence" in Laos.
Inevitably, communism's flu
ture victims can DE expected to
ask, where can Western ma
tons be relied upon to remain
standing once they have an
nounced the decision to take a
stand?' It's a very fair ques-
ton. Our Congo posture is
only a partial answer; it is
still under fire. What will we
do in South Viet-Nam or in
Berlin when the chips are
really on the table?
On March % of this year.
President Kennedy predicted
that events in Laos will indi-
cate what kind of a future our
world is going to have" Indi-
cations since then suggest that
it will be a negotiated"
world. We have had the for
eign-aid initiative" for some
time, we have picked up the
Peace Corps Initiative" but if
we don't seize the military
initiative promptly in the un-
declared war now in progress,
it may soon be difficult to 'ne-
gotiate" our right to live on
Mr.. Khrushchev's planet or
even in his outer-space.

Letters to the Sentinel

Tiers home, my grandfather's
home: I should like to give you
a logical sequence of crime.
In the spring of 1857 a IA.
year-old boy was accused Of
stealing 80 cents from a small
roadside fruit stand. He and his
parents. of course, denied it. A
year ago last Christmas eve
the same boy was caught purse
snatching. He was incarcerated
for a short while. Last night
the same boy imam broke into
a widows home, and assaulted
her. Next
This warning, of course, will
not appear in the pages of your
paper because our staunch citi.
zens are interested in making
money, not reading logic!

By The Way
Concealed Surrender
By David Scull

most people to realize that
America is at war today. A
curious war because the other
side has declared" and we
have not. This explains why
they keep the initiative and
why American Presidents are
forced to "react" to Commu-
mist moves. 1t also explains
why we are so reluctant to
take a military stand any
where. To do so would, in our
quaint way of thinking, put us
in the position of starting a
war, and we sincerely don't
want war; we want only peace.
We will go to almost any
lengths, short of national hui
initiation, to 'lessen tension"
because we enormously think
that tensions" are the things
that breed wars. What we
overlook is the fact that al
most every tension" since
World War II was a condition
contrived by Khrushchev or
Mao Use Tung tie, Berlin-In-
dochina, Formosa, Lebanon,
SueZ and now Laos and South
Viet-Nam) to facilitate what |
they claim is an inevitable"
march to world domination.
II the Laos settlement now
proposed turns out to be a
concealed surrender 1t has
to be presumed that this aban.
dOnment was dictated by the
facts. But, because of the stra.
tegic position of Loas, the &C.
ton carries a strong sugges.
ton of an implied willingness
to abandon Southeast Asia.
Sooner or later somebody is
going to have to explain how
the free worlds security was
improved by exposing the bal
ance of Asia to unrestricted |
conquest by the peace-loving |
Red Chinese, and their local
Guerilla Volunteers"
Until such an explanation is
available it is only possible to
conjecture the reason. Is it an |
unhappy choice based on the
fact that Laos and Southeast |
Asia are actually 'fndefen-
sible?" II this is so, what then. !
of Tndefensible" Berlin? Is it
because we do not have the
means to seriously fight a

Dogs, from each ones point of
view. But for those not initiated
to all aspects of the situation, I
wish to introduce the following
for consideration:
Rabies is a virus disease
which attacks the brain and is
always fatal in man. 1t cannot
be cured. A person bitten by a
rabid animal, wild or pet, will
always die unless he receives
immunization treatment within
the incubation period of the vi
rus. This is the Pasteur treat
ment which is a long expensive
and dangerous sometimes ia.
tab sequence of innoculations.
II the bite is on the head or
neck, the success of the treat
ment in preventing rabies is
slight. If a child Tor adult for
that matter) is bitten by an ami
NAL (or pet) which, due to cir
cumstances, cannot be identified
so as to permit observation of
that animal for symptoms of
rabies, no choice exists. One
cannot gamble-treatme must
be given.
Many countries have virtually
eliminated rabies. Some of
these, such as England, Den
mark, Norway, Sweden, Austria
liza, New Zealand and Malaga.
by elimination of stray pets"
by reduction of excessive num-
bers of possible rabies carriers,
and by immunization of pets,
have brought under control this
terrible disease. But, with the
exception of Hawaii, the United
States has a shameful record
OF animal bites and rabies treat
ments.
Yes, we have immunization
requirements and dog control
ordinances-isn't this enough?
But If it is, why must it be that

some of my close friends allow

(But they are the first to com.

Yes, I agree with Mr.. Welsh's
dogs. A pet" law would be un.
desirable, for dogs. that is.

six or eight pets without dis
turbing the peace, breaking any

And may I say to the Mont.

ISOLATION that their greatest
merit would be in a drive TO
educate the Indifferent public to
choose wisely in a pet so as not
to ensalve a "five acre" dog in a
one-eighth acre back yard. It is

sets an example that brings

ISOLATION put their efforts in
promoting kindness and affec-
tionate treatment of pets, rather
than in resentment of legisla-
ton made necessary for the gen.
eral welfare by the Indifferent
minority who mistreat their
pets.
Yes, it is a silly law-but as
long as we behave like silly peo-
pie, may our governing bodies
undertake their duty to pass and
enforce legislation proper and
necessary for our protection.

Senator Kennedy, during his
campaign last summer, said a
number of things that will live
to haunt him. One of the most
stirring was the following: 81
am tired of reading about
what Mr.. Khrushchev is do
ing. want to read what the
President of the United States
is doing" This had a great
deal of appeal during the CAM
paign. 1t is just a little ironic
that the new Presidents first
major move in foreign affairs
had to be a somewhat desper-
ate reaction to a Communist
offensive, in Laos. And it must
be a bit Notifying to sit in
the White House and read that
for two weeks now the entire
world has been anxiously wait

expressed last week, hoped
that we will remain firm on, at
least, that point, for it is the
only real firmness in the West

Joseph AlsOp, renowned col

year that American experts
are and have been virtually
unanimous in their belief that

If you want a blessing, you
must first learn how to ask for
it. If you are seeking a blessing
from God, you must know how
to seek Gods help.
When you pray to God and

answer your prayer. And don't

answers prayer in His own due
time. We cannot hope to know
what may seem to detain Cod.
We cannot hurry God.
When you ask a blessing from
God, tell Him of your need,
fully, openly and with faith.
Don't hold anything back from
God. Although Cod knows you

Cod that you are willing to

When you ask Of Cod in

ABUNDANT LIFE
by ORAL ROBERTS
HOW TO ASK FOR A BLESSING

Two blind beggars were max
ing the rounds in the city park.
It was a lovely spring morning.
Many people had come to the
park to take in the beauty Of
spring.
Each blind man carried a tin
cup. Each had a sign hung
around his neck. One mans
sign read: please Help the
Blind" The other mans sign
read: "It's Spring -. and /
Am Blind!"
AT the end of the day one
beggar had only a few coins in
his tin cup-none was in his
pockets. But the others cup
was overflowing. His pockets
jingled with change.
Can you guess which one got
more money! The one whose
sign read: Its Spring and
Am Blind"
Whyp Wasn't the other beg
gar who got practically no
money just as blind as the one
whose tin cup was full? Didn't
he need money as badly as the
otherp What made the differ
ence in the results?'
It was the way in which the
beggars asked for their blessing.
The successful beggar's sign
opened the peoples hearts and
purses. His sign moved them to
compassion because they real
lied that here was one who
could not enjoy what they en-
