THIS JOB OF OURS

Where does a fireman come from?
Does he come from Mars, Venus or Mer-
curry or Outer Space?
No!
A fireman comes from being man, born
with heart full of desire to help others.
A fireman comes from person with an
unselfsh desire to assist others in time of
need.
A fireman loves his work. A fireman
braves every obstacle for the benefit of his
fellowman, many times for the benefit of
the insurance companies, yet thanks most
OF the time, seems to be none.
A fireman is sincere in his work, studies
hard to perfect techniques, strains muscles
till they near break, lifts astounding
weights, from charged lines to heavy vic
tins.
Then a fireman relaxes with a group
that have the same views, the same love- the
same strains, and the same blisters. A good
fireman carries on even when obstacles are
the hardest.

Dear Friends:
If you dial 936-1212 here in the
District of Columbia area a re-
corded voice will give you the
weather for today and tomorrow.
Such convenience l could do with
out.
I'm like a child about snow
storms. l just love them. The
snow can never be deep enough
for me- Two winters ago we had
more snow than I've seen in my
life time But that was the win
ter, if you'll remember, that |
was in Kansas and alone Hayes
was overseas for four long months.
Last winter Topeka had virtually
no snow Uncle Sam was consid-
crate enough to remedy the stu
alton and moved us east to the
blizzard scene-and what hap
pens,
1t was nothing for Hayes A. c..
(aircraft commander) at Forbes
AFB to finish a flight at two or
three in the A. NJ to pick up the
phone at the flight line, call us
and say, Lane, it's showing"
So without this direct weather
communique I dial that nutty wo-
man at 936-1212 and she tells me,
sunny today, cold, warmer to-
morrow"
Last Wednesday morning when
we got out of bed at our usual
rising time, $50 o'clock, you can
imagine my exhilaration when
there were two inches of snow on
the ground. We were amazed
when the radio told us there
would be no school for the day
| Two inches of snow and no school
1t seemed they expected a mite
more during the day Well, any

luge of little ones began to ar

TIME TO SHOW FAITH

A communist upholds the objectives OF
communism and utiliZes any means to ac-
complish it's socalistic aims and world con-
quest. But it takes courage today to use the
words "private enterprise" in the halls OF
Congress and state legislatures for fear OF
being classed as a reactionary, or antl-lber-
al Too often, the simple fact has been lost
sight Of, that private ownership OF property
and industry are inseparable from free
economy For years the liberals have been
promoting socialized projects in the United
States. They have enjoyed the privilege OF
dissent, guaranteed by free nation, which
would be denied them in Russia, the seeds
of whose socialistic philosophy they have
sown in this country.
Probably the biggest threat to our CAPT
talistic, free enterprise system is the IN
difference of our people to the fact that it
is under attack from within as well as with
out We have led SNUG life and have never
known the restrictions and terror that in
evitably follow in the wake of a highly CEN
tralized government or police state.
We should show our belief in private
ownership of property and industry, and
shout it from the house tops as loudly as
the Russians broadcast their anti-capital-
istic doctrine Unless we do this, how can
we expect the rest of the free world to have
faith in the sincerity of our belief in the
superiority of our capitalistic system over
the communist philosophy?

ONE THING CERTAIN

Out of the confusion and conflicting
statements on protection against nuclear
attack comes one word from Washington
that is highly understandable to taxpayers.
Our government is going to spend around
90 million dollars of our money to make an
inventory of public shelter areas through
out the country.
Mind you, all this money that will be
paid to architectural and engineering firms
to "crawl all over buildings all over the coun-
try" as it was expressed, will not build one
shelter 1t will simply try to determine how
much existing shelter there is for people to
crawl into in case of an enemy attack. Pilot
surveys of space in buildings, caves, tun-
nels and subways" have already been con-
Quoted in some cities.
Announcement by the Pentagon through
Stuart L. Pittman, assistant secretary for
civil Defense at least lets us know that
something on a nationwide scale is actually
under way. But in the same breath, and
only a few days after President Kennedy S
emphasis on group shelters, Pittman stress
ed the value Of family shelters and said that
both family and community types were use
full
This leaves the public about in the same
confused situation as before. But we do
know one thing definitely: taxpayers will
foot the bill for that -million-dollar sur
vey.

KENNEDY'S POPULARITY

The Gallup poll reports that seventy
eight per cent of the people in these United
States approve the way President John F.
Kennedy has handled his job during his first
ten months in office. This popularity is diff
fcult to understand when we realize that
the poll showed that President Eisenhower
had the approval of only sixty per cent of
the people at the same point in his admins
tration, and President Truman's popularity
was about the same as President EisenhOW-
er's.
Certainly, Mr.. Kennedy's popularity
cannot be explained by his record to date.
The Cuban invasion was certainly a fasco,
and the crises in the Congo, Vietnam, Ber-
lin and LOaS are still in an aggravated
state. Calling up the military reserves was
probably mistake, although it may have
accomplished something in convincing Mr..
khrushchev that we meant business. About
the only new programs which Mr.. Kennedy
has put into effect are the Peace Corps and
the Alliance for Progress, and neither one
of these programs has been in effect long
enough to indicate whether it will prove
successful.
Nevertheless, taking the record of the
entire ten months period, it is difficult to
understand Mr.. Kennedy's popularity as
recorded by the Gallup poll We suspect
that Mr.. Gallup's reports are not a fair re-
Election of American sentiment.

weekly earnings 10. The rate, as
you can see, is still very healthy.
EARNINGS vs. LIVING COSTS
The Importance of the great
boost in earnings is highlighted
by the fact that, during the same
period of time, the retail price of
goods and services has edged up
ward at a far less rapid pace. The
consumer price index of the Labor
Department has, in fact, risen only
a moderate 1870 during the past
ten years. Over the past twelve
months the gain has amounted to
only 20, a far cry from the 10
rise in weekly earnings mention
ed above.
l am proud indeed of our man
ufacturers and merchants who
have thus succeeded in holding
prices down while wages have been
soaring ever higher. This is not
an easy thing for them to do at a
time, when the squeeze on profits
is ever tighter, and when labor
unions are persistently seeking
new raises and more costly fringe
benefits. But | am confident that
astute tradesmen will be able to
hold their heads above water sue
cessfully in 1962,-at least partly
because of the tremendous retail
turnover that | anticipate.
LABOR FORCE EXPANDING
The labor force has been grow
ing steadily, and the families of
that force are the nations buyers.
While the unemployment problem
has been a serious headache for
Milford chronicle., 1962-01-19

the Administration, it has not af-
fected selling seriously, except in
few one-industry localities such
as, for instance, coal mining cen
terS. Detroit can be badly hurt
during a recession or at model
changing time, but employees laid
off over the longer term can grad
ually be absorbed by other indus
tries spreading out into previous
ly aIl-auto sections.
| look for a continuing expan-
sion of the working force and of
employment generally in 1862. Ev-
en- the jobless rate, which has
been lowering around 10 for
about a year, has suddenly begun
TO move lower, and now stands,
seasonally corrected, at GIG.
Government economists are re-
flecting more optimism. One in
slider, in fact, recently estimated
that the unemployment rate may
be down to 4.5&o or even less by
years end At any rate, the cur
rent course of employment is now
strongly upward, the trend for un-
emplOyment gradually lower.

TRAVELLING PRESIDENTS

Writing in u. S. News and World Re-
port, David Lawrence devOteS an editorial
to whether or not we should have a world
travelling President In the course of it, he
touches on some of the enormous changes
that have come about in a very few years.
Woodrow Wilson was the first President
to 90 abroad while in office. He was out of
touch with Congress and the government
for prolonged period of time, and there
was much criticism because of that The
critics said he should have stayed home and
sent his Secretary Of State in his place
President Eisenhower visited 81 coun-
tries while in office and, though there was
some criticism of his absences, it was much
more subdued than in Wilson's day. Now
President Kennedy has become a far-trav-
eled President, and many more long trips
are on his agenda.
Mr.. Lawrence is heartily in favor of
this trend. AS he puts it, "Mr Kennedy's
be fulfilled merely by sitting in Washington
and reading the cable or radio messages
from our ambassadors" And he also OBJ
serves, "The truth is the jet airplane today
has made a big difference" Between the
speed of the jets and the excellence of mod
ern communications systems, the President
is available at all times.
Presidents, unlike the rest of us, have
their own private jets. But jet aircraft
have shrunk the world for everyone else
too-busineSs people, tourists, students.
They, too, can make friends and WELD an
influence. And that one may hope, will
prove to be the basic significance of the jet
age. The result, then, will be an upsurge in
the kind Of international understanding this
weary world so sorely needs.

BUYING PSYCHOLOGY POWERFUL

The nervousness and doubt evi-
dent during the recession now
seems to have given way, in con-
siderable degree, to renewed cour-
age and confidence with regard to
domestic prospects. Buying psy-
chology in 1862 will be far less
cautious, and even luxuries will be
a good deal easier to move.

EMPTY CHARGE

1t has been alleged that the medical fra
ternity and allied professions take small
interest in the health problems of the aged.
This charge, naturally enough, comes from
those who want the federal government to
move into this field, and to provide all man.
ner of medical services for recipients of So
cial security benefts-whether they are in
need or not in need.
But, as the record shows, this charge is
empty. Take, for instance, conference that
was held in Chicago in mid-December. 1t
was sponsored by the Joint Council to I'M
prove the Health Care of the Aged-a Coun-
Gil composed Of the American Medical AS
sOciatiOn, the American Dental Association,
the American Hospital Association, and the
American Nursing Home Association. More
than 500 people attended. The major pur-
poses were to focus on the current social,
economic and health status Of the aged; to
review selected medical research in aging;
to present successful voluntary programs
in improving health care; to encourage con-
tinued participation and cooperation of all
community health agencies in meeting the
demands and needs of this growing segment
of our society.
Much progress has been made in deal
ing with this problem. The bill passed by
recent Congress, where the needy aged are
assisted under Joint federal-state program,
with the emphasis on local administration
and decision, is a notable example And
medical people everywhere provide reouir-
ed services of the highest quality without
consideration for the ability of an individ-
ual to pay If our free system is maintain
ed, more progress will come swiftly and
surely.

The only thing we could find to criticize the President about in his actions this past week was our feel ing that he did not go far enough. The Russian vessels off our is- lands coast are as grave a menace as the ships going to Cuba. The blockade should be extended to the entire North Pacific waters around Alaska :. particularly the Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea. The ships of any foreign nation should be forbidden to operate :. for any purpose whatever :. in our waters without our express permission. If our government can inspect, seize, or sink any vessel in the high seas off our nations southern coast, it most certainly can and should do the same thing up here. Both the security of the nation and the economic welfare of fellow Americans are directly at stake here as we'll as in the Caribbean.

During These First Years of Statehood?

HEALTHY FINANCIAL CONDITION. Since in new responsibilities roads, mental heath fisheries rehabilitation - to name few. Despite these new costs, June 30, 1862, Alaska had a general fund balance, available for future use, of $24371,457. Every budget since Statehood has been in balance.
 LOWEST GOVERNMENTAL COSTS. Government costs the individual Alaskan less than the resident of any other state. According to the United States Department of Commerce, Alaskans pay the low est state and local tax rate per $1,O00 of income in the nation.
 STRONG EXECUTIVE BUDGET. Each depart ment of State government must submit it's spend- ing proposals to the Governors Budget Review Committee and to the Governor before such re- quests go to the Legislature. More than S20- 000 900 deleted from departmental requests in 1861 alone before the budget reached the Sen- ate and House Finance Committees - far cry from the uncoordinated wasteful procedures fol- lowed territory.
 HONEST BUDGETS. Annual budgets show the full cost of government All revenues go into the general fund and subject to appropriation by the Legislature. No longer are certain pro- grams sidetracked into budget obscuritv. thereby creating misleading impression of government cost.
