It gals me to think that we
American taxpayers are spend
ing millions Of dollars ADVER-
TISNG for young men to enter
the various armed services.
This disturbing realization hit
me from q news item in the fl
nancial pages of a metropolitan
daily - happily disclosing that
the Air Force had placed its re-
cruiting advertising with an ad
agency "at a rate Of SIS million
to s. million The story did not
say whether the rate was for
one year, or for the three-year
duration of the contract - but
that is beside the point.
What diStresses me is that tax
funds are being funnelled into
Madison Avenue circles to in
duce young men to do what they
ought to be doing anyhow.
National defense is something
a bit distinct from filter ciga-
rets, or late model automobiles,
or brands of beer M all OF which
offer numerous choices to the
purchaser. So does service in'the
military offer choices to those
who want to shop around for
the best DEAL M but it hardly
seems proper for the nation to
go a-begging through advertising
media to attract it's servicemen.
During these years Of the cold
war, which threatens to last in
definitely into the future. every
American owes an obligation to
the nations security. The pat
tern Of selective service. which
in itself leaves some room for
question, lays out formula to
determine these who will and
those who will not be called to
active duty.
Why shouldn't Uncle Sam
let the nations youth know flat

bic and free news media of the
country certainly can be count
ed on to keep the public inform
ed OF the opportunities and diff
ferenceS offered by the conlpet-
ing services.
II a lad is likely to get a bet
ter deal by volunteering than by
being drafted, then that word
should go out. Indeed, such a
word is bound to get around by
that most effective means Of ad-
vertising - the word-of-nouth
relay.
But I Submit that military
service is not a proper subject
for advertising, whether high
pressure or low.
Every self-respectng Amer-
can, and even those who fall
short Of seH-respect, owe their

needed to serve.
These are functions to be dis
charged in the normal course OF
being q good American. The
rearing Of the ordinary Anleri-
can boy should instill in him a
sense Of obligation to discharge
all these duties.
There should be no need to
glamorize AMY Of these civic
duties by advertising certain

Babson Discusses Crises

BABSON PARK, MASS. Nov.
10 = The Cuban situation is fea-
tured in the news as a great
crisis l think. however, that
all news today must be discount
ed somewhat because of the
competition between the various
news media. The newspapers
have to come out with an edition
on schedule, while radio and
televiSion grind out material for
Is hours daily. Owing to the fact
that these newer methods of
communication get tremendous
income from advertising in con-
necti0n with these newscasts.
probably 20 per cent Of the news
has to be manufactured and
certainly much of it is exagger-
ated. Therefore anything called
a crisis today should be dis
counted.
Struggle Between Those Who
Have and Those Who Have Not
1t seems as if this struggle all
started with Cain and Abel, and
has continued throughout the
ages. A reading Of the Old Tes-
lament shows how crises con-
Stantly developed in Persian.
Babylonian. Egyptian. and Ro-
man history. Whatever change
has occurred in military war
fare. there seems to have been
no change in human nature.
Furthermore. each nation has
its cycle. Those who are at the
bottom gradually come to the
top: then power and wealth de-
teriorate and they go back to
the bottom again. Even the
stock market has its cycles.
Moody counts ten of these from
the time our battleship Maine

English History

During the past summer /
have been reading a most COM
plete history Of England. It con-
SlstS OF seven volumes and about
5000 pages. 1t is entitled 1.-The
Pictorial History of England. i"
published by W. and R. Cham
bers of London. England, about
1850. The story consists of con-
tinual crises beginning with the
year IS B. C. AS one reads
these volumes. he thinks that
England could not possibly last
more than a hundred years. The
serfs were continually fighting to
get little property and free
dom. while those who inherited
their property lived in great cas-
ties. The conflict, however, was
much the same as today.
From my reading Of history 1
see no possibility Of either De-
mocracy or Communism being
wiped out. Both will be sup
pressed at certain times in GER
tain nations. but will rise up
again in other nations. Whether,
in the final analysis. it will be
the same old struggle with each
group alternately be CO. j n g
stronger, or whether the two
groups will gradually merge by
becoming more alike, no one
can tell.
East Versus West
At present. the Communist ma
tons consist Of Russia. China,
and their satellites. with India
more or less on the fence. These
Communist countries are con-
trolled by dictators and hence
are more efficient in time Of
war whether hot or cold) than
are the Democratic nations.
The dictatorS Of these coun-
tries can control the news and

ty and the discharge Of civic duty by
and various fields. Several of the
churches and fraternal groups have
completed successful campaigns to en-
large the physical plants or services to
their members. In addition there are
other demands upon the people. Grant
ed this be true. However, we must go
the last mile and support those in
stitutions which mean much to the well
fare of the people-tfe Community
Fund and the Prince Edward Founda-
ton scholarship fund.
A reservoir Of funds are present in
the county. Bank savings have increased
over million dollars within the past
year. Taxes have been reduced by over
100000, due to the unfortunate school
situation, and the reduced need for pub
lie funds in this field.
The people of Prince Edward have
civic opportunities and obligations to
support the activities which, mean so
much to the welfare of the community
1t is our hope that the responsibilities
will be realized and that both of these
funds will reach the quotas set prompt
ly.
Prince Edward must not be found
lacking in its civic responsibilities or
obligations.

GRAssROOTs OPINION

ASHTON, IDAHO, HERALD:
For all too many years the
idea has been fostered that
there is something wrong about
profits. For too many years
attacks have been made on
business. Business has been
harassed with higher taxes,
necessity to collect withholding
taxes, pay unemployment, meet
the demands of unions for
shorter hours and more pay.
Private enterprise has been a
whipping boy of federal plan
ners starting back in the Roose-
welt era = planners whose
avowed program was to create
more employment by federal
planning in industry, pump
printing and so on. Whose real
purpose, many businessmen
felt, was to drive them out
and substitute specialization" !"
