Local Merchants GiUe
Us an Extra Freedom

Next Wednesday is July 4th, frequently re-
ferred to as independence Day"
1t is day we Americans celebrate in honor
of our Declaration Of Independence and our free
dom from British rule
independence" is mighty fine . a.. but it can
be carried to fault
For in truth, we are dependent" upon many
people and they, in turn, upon us.
We are dependent upon the corner druggist
for our quickly needed emergency medicines; upon
the local hardware merchant for that washer to
fix that ''pesky" faucet upon the grocer for our
staples the baker for our bread the service
station for our gasoline
They, in turn, are dependent upon our trade.
Upon us they rise or fall, succeed or fail We are
their lifeblood, their bread and butter.
No man is an island . . or, at least no man
should try to be an island

make it a way of life'

White gets up around 6 in
the morning and generally is
the first one at the office. He
then commences to put in a 12-

Finally, We purposely neg
lected to ask White to what he
owes his long life and ability
to be on the go at such a ripe

Twelve years ago, Blumel
Ignition Co., 14201 Euclid ave.,
hired a new salesman.
Now what's so newsworthy
about this Nothing. except the
gentleman in question was 80
years old at the time.
According to Albert Blumel,
there was no thought of being
a good-doer by hiring someone
this old-it was merely mat
ter of logic-G. Somers White
was the best man for the job.
The particular position called
for a special type salesman who
knew all about industrial soap.
Now, a dozen years later,
Blumel far from regrets his
selection. White is 92 and is
considered, still, one of the top
men in his field. He sells an
average Of five tons Of the stuff
each month.
White is a widower who lives
at 1927 Rosemont and was
named after the first governor
of Bermuda, where his father
was born.
Born On A Farm
He was born on a farm in
1870 near Laceyville, Pa, and
in his many years has had such
Jobs as financial consultant,
telephone company executive
and sales manager for a text

Goddess Communism which holds only
promise of death instead of Life de-
feats the whole idea of a God of the
living.
American Leftists who chose the de-
fensive in the struggle on these basic
issues have now been discredited and
become so despised that they are de-
feated. They feared to attack these
basic strongho1ds even though armed
with the best weapon ON earth-the
truth-and defense has brought only
defeat.
Liberals, who by sheer weight of
numbers rule America under demo-
cratic forms, are corrupted by this
very power until they can never realize
from whence it really flows. There is
no question of sincerity and goodwill
involved. These qualities are above
reproach in most of the liberals. They
are simply on the defensive and must
suffer the inevitable defeat. They
would defend their middle-of-the-road
position because it offers the most
ease and comfort. Tt is the way of most
liberty with least responsibility; the
way of compromise and expediency;
the defensive way of certain defeat.
The American Rightists now have
the offensive. Thanks to the power of
the liberals directed by the forces OF
Rightist reaction under the guise of
patriotism, freedom and Goodness, the
balancing feature of Leftist thought
has been destroyed. With the Right on
the offensive in America, the rise OF
Fascism is certain. The offensive must
win in the struggle for power in
America. But wait, there's a lesson
for you boys too! The world has be-
come collectivized and America is a
small part. On the world scene, Com
ano collectivism is definitely
on the offensive and Capitalism and
on the hopeless defen-
sive. You may destroy much, but you
can never win.-HOBART McKEAN,

Sen. MetcuIf Would
License Mail
Order Pharmacies

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Sen. Lee
Metcalf (D-Mont.) has introduced
a bill to require mail-order pharma-
cies to be licensed in each state in
which they fill prescriptions.
The bill grew out of request by
the Montana State Board of Phar-
macy.
"Since the entire transaction takes
place through the mails, 1 feel that
federal legislation is necessary to
effectively halt this practice" the
Board wrote Metcalf. "Use of the
mails is now denied to false teeth
prepared by dentists unlicensed in
the state of the addressee. (We) see
no reason why a similar restriction
should not be placed on the use of
the mails for prescription drugs"

Support Federal Aid To
Education

There are many reasons why we
should have federal aid to our great
est of all assets, education. will brief
ly cite two individuals understanding.
Those who set their values on per-
sonal wealth, and people who endeavor
to bring up our educational system
in order to strengthen our nation.
The state school departments or
better yet the whole national educa-
tional structure needs a minimum fl
nancial requirement to function prop
erly. You who advocate non-govern-
mental help realize that through your
personal income tax and all state tolls
you support the now existing schools
as we'll as those that will be built and
new teachers that you will employ.
Looking at this in a business sense
for you with a profit motive we see
that a great deal OF your money is
being misused by students who will
educate themselves in your state and
leave, depriving you of the beneficial
commodities that an educated person
should supply. These people will wan
der from state to state leaving some
states, Montana for example, with a
considerable financial loss. Don't you
think that all states should share
these large expenditures? Through
federal aid to education every state
in the union would share an equal ex
pense for the education of all it's
people.
The question always comes up about
control. How can there be any more
control than now exists with the pres
ent reform which President Kennedy
advocates which is to give federal
monies directly to each individual
state educational fund? This federal
money would be unidentifiable with
the states own education fund and |
would be used in the same way that |
it is presently being distributed with |
out any chance of more control.
For you who can see the need for |
better educational facilities and high |
er teachers wages, my cry for federal |
aid is much less complex. The impossi- |
bility of more control has probably |
swayed you already to my view, but |
if not, just imagine an underpaid |
teacher trying to teach In an over
crowded classroom equipped with furn-
iture which would be just as well used |
in a museum as examples of early
American furniture making. WE resi-
ice that money is needed in educa
ton, but If we can perceive H. better |
use for ottr gold maybe we should not |
attempt TO educate cur young people /
to the extent of giving them the OPP I
portunity OF getting the highest happi- /
ness in "Aristotle's view, which is

Gov. Nutter came in towards the
end of the meeting and sort of had
his wires crossed on how evil the tax
subsidy was. He questioned the group
as to whether he should join with
the governor of Wyoming in asking
the Congress for 80 per cent of the
royalties paid to the Bureau of Recla-
nation on oil produced on federal
lands. We presently only get 81 per
cent of this money for our schools.
Alaska gets 80.
/. Alberta has 600 times as much
gas to use to maintain an economy
as we do in Montana.
2. Federal lands are quite extern
sive in this state.
3. We need more jobs for our
people.
a. Energy utilization is the stum-
bling block of industrial progress in
Montana.
Add to these four factors the poll
tical bankruptcies of John Birch So
ciety orientated leadership of the Re-
publican administration and it is easy
to see how Jack has attained the title
of the puppet master of Montana.
