WITH MI

. From official sources comes
the story that We have poured
more than S4.OOO.OOO.OOO in aid
into the economy Of South Kcr-
ca within the last ten years.
Such a figure gives cause TO
doubt the success our foreign
aid program. which this writer
has always contended could be
cut by twO-thirds. and the re
manning Onc-third TO be placed
in the proper places with the
proper administration. would
bring about a more effective
economic value TO the recipient,
and the proposal Of a tax cut
would no longer be a political
gimmiCk
We certainly believe in help
ing those countries who really
reed help. but we do not con-
done :he idea that in doing so
We become a permanent source
Of breast-feeding. What we have
done is TO teach these countries
how not TO stand on their own
two feet. and that we will for
ever be an adopted 5readbaSket
Another convincing example
OF our bungling is obvious in
China We have poured billions
upon billions into. Chiang's fight
against Communism and for
what result? The Nationalist
Chinese are now worse off than
they ever were and without
home Of their own. What is
worse - we are still supplying
and supporting what is left of
them
We are doing the same thing in
Africa and Latin America d.
credit without end under imprOp-
er and unqualified supervision.
II will add up to the same thing
and within a few years we will
be feeding and supporting hun
dreds of thousands OF COmmun-
lists who have quietly and dog
gedly forced their way upon the
good" but do nothing" class
We are attempting to save.
The government will tell you
that it takes at least two genera
tiOns 10 educate and elevate the
downtrCdden. At the rate we are
going il will be a never-ending
task 10 "mCderniZe" those we
consider savages. We started so
years ago. and IL things don't
change We will still be al il five
or more generations from now.
announcement was made last
week that everything is in readi-
ness for the Annual North Am
erican All-Indian Basketball
Tournament. Final arrangements
were concluded with the selec-
ton Of the teams scheduled TO
participate.
According TO Phil Ward, tOurn-
ament supervisor, fans can look
forward to an even better brand
of basketball than has previously
been their pleasure.
As the tournament ages, and
with the very best Indian teams
chosen, more and more teams
are making application to par
ticipate. and the job OF selecting
them is becoming more difficult
Phil says that the sponsoring
Lions Club would like TO accom-
modate all teams desiring TO en-
ter. but the schedule is limited
10 eight teams for several rea-
sons, and the teams with the best
records are therefore chosen by
necessity.
II is well to mention that in
cOcperation with the tournament
promotion. Buttrey Foods and
Teeple's Market have purchased
sections Of seats for certain
games. and are offering the tic
ke:s at only e9c, thus giving fans
a substantial break
The teams who have previous
ly participated in this tOurna-
ment are always anxious to re-
turn and have expressed their
great satisfaction in the way 1t
is handled and the courtesy they
receive from all Browning bust
nesses and fans We like this.
and hope they will always leave
with the same warm feeling Of
satisfaction.
At this time we would like to
remind our readers that this Is
National 4-H Week We have 7l-
WAYS considered that the All
organization is next TO Scouting.
These youngsters who are mem.
hers and who. with the help OF
thCar Ieaders. study. learn and
practi-e the moiern and advanc-
eI ways OF agriculture. can be
no less than the leaders OF to-
