Short Circuit Causes
Football Lights To Shine

The lights on the football field
at Southern High came on Satur-
day night around midnight which
caused wonderment among those
residing in that vicinity, and they
got on the telephone in short order.
1t was only a short circuit in
the switch, according to Dick
Travis, athletic director at South
ern High school. He said he
thought he had the trouble fixed
and had gone home when they
came on again about $3.50 Sunday
morning. The trouble was repaired
Sunday morning. In the meantime
there was activity on the field, but
Travis couldn't say whether it was
by adults or teenagers, but upon
finding the lights on, somebody
began to play football-or some
thing.

Faculty, Students
Differ With College

Differences between members of
the student body of Frostburg
State college, its president, R.
Bowen Hardesty, and members of
the faculty have broken into the
open during the past week or ten
days.
The president of the student gov
ernment, Jerry HoWie, senior, re-
signed his position, after which
Pesident Hardesty issued a state
ment but this was only the be-
ginning.
Yesterday morning new stories
we're to the effect that the presi-
dent and students had patched up
their troubles, but last nights
newspapers carried story relating
that a teacher unit also had asked
probe at the college. Professors
urged trustees to take a look at
the situation.
All four classes at the college
have taken a formal stand against
the alleged tactics used by the
college administration resulting in
the resignation of the student gov
ernment president
President Hardesty implied in a
press release that the current un-
rest is attributable to a small group
of students and a small group of
faculty members.
A letter approved at a senior
class meeting stated: I'VE resent
the Presidents office using in
timidation, pressure and fear on
any student officer of student as
sociation who is trying to fulfill
his responsibility"
Complete accounts are being
given in daily newspapers. Many
young people of this county are
attending the college.

Under the primary system, this

Route 219 are a basic necessity to
the economy of Garrett county and
to its economic growth and that
these routes should be fully COM
pleted in the very near future.
Under the secondary system this
group feels that the following
priorities should be followed:
Maryland 135 from Maryland 38
to Maryland 495 first priority; re-
surfacing of Maryland 135 from 274
miles west of Allegany county line
westerly to 2 mile west of Walnut

ing full consideration to the total
recommendations it was noted that
Maryland 495 from route 40 south
had not been given any considera-

recommends that Maryland 495

establish this Constitution"
No luck so far.
The only mention of general well
fare in the actual text of the
Constitution is in Article l, Sec
ton 8, paragraph l. But this is the
paragraph granting Congress the
power to tax! 1t says:
"The Congress shall have the
power to lay and collect taxes, du-
ties, imposts and eXcises, to pay
the debts and provide for the com
mon defense and the general well
fare of the United States; but all
duties, imposts and eXcises shall be
uniform throughout the United
States"
Nothing is said there suggesting
that subsidies, doles and restrictive
Legislation are all right if they're
meant to promote the general well
fare" All it says is that the writers
of the Constitution felt that the
general welfare might be provided
for if Congress was given the right
to lay and collect taxes.
Beware!
If they had meant to allow any
thing that Congress thought was in
the general welfare" then the
next six paragraphs would seem to
be waste of time = for they list
specific areas in which Congress
can legiSlate.
1t would seem to be long past
time for Americans to become re-
acquainted with their Constitution.
Once you've read it, you'll see for
yourself what freedom is supposed
to mean in America. And you'll see
just how far the government has
overstepped its powers.
Of course, you may be tempted
to write the publisher - asking
for the missing paragraphs the pol
iticians keep quoting.

What General Welfare?
BY Harry Browne
Editor, Freedom Magazine

But the government is supposed
to promote the general welfare" If
| had dollar for every time I've
heard that statement, | might be
able to pay my income tax this
year.
And so a multitude of sins -
from labelling Palm Springs a de-
pressed area to financing the Yugo-
SlaVian Communists is justified
in the name of general welfare y
Despite occasional arguments
over technicalities the concept OF
general welfare" as the standard
of legislative legitimacy is never
questioned.
Knowing this to be the case, I'm
about to send my copy of the Con-
sitution back to its publisher =
with a demand for a refund. OBJ
viously, I've been shortchanged.

searching my Constitution - look
ing for the general welfare
clause. 1 finally decided l just

welfare" clause
Oh yes, the words general well
fare" are in there. But it would
take a mighty elastic imagination
to suppose that they provide any
justification for our current well
fare state.
Not There. ....
For instance, the first mention
comes in the Preamble. That, of
course, is not a grant of power

marizes why the Constitution was

Farmers Are people, Too
BY Harry Browne
Editor. Freedom Magazine


An obvious area where taxes and
government spending could be re-
duced is the farm subsidy program.
But whether anyone suggests
such a thing, the bleeding-hearts
always cry that the farmer couldn't
live without his subsidies.
That, of course, is the worst
kind of insult-implying that a
man isn't man enough to stand on
his own two feet.
Why do the politicians continu-
ally underestimate the ability of
the American farmer? Is the farm
er any less capable of surviving in
free enterprise economy than
other businessmen? Is he any less
able to provide for himself and
his family?
Symbol
On the contrary the American
farm is the symbol of self-sufficien-
cy. In fact, the farmers have been
giving the bureaucrats apopleXy by
outproducing demand no matter
how tight the planners apply the
controls.
While it's undoubtedly true that
many farmers have been carefully
maneuvered into a state of depend
ency upon the government, it is
foolish to assume that the average
farmer benefits from this whole
crazy farm program.
Inequities
Does he enjoy being punished
for growing crops that are not in
harmony with the bureaucrats pro-
duction schedules? Does he like
living in fear of adverse govern
ment action that could ruin a
years crops overnight?
Does he relish the system that
allows him to be taken by Billie
Sol Estes with the acquiescence of
his patrons" in Washington?
And do you imagine that farm
ers are not uneasy about the grow
ing size of the Dept. of Agricul-
ture? There are now little over
half the number Of farms that eX-
listed in 1935-yet the Department
now employs almost so per cent
more people than it did in 1885.
While the farms go down in num-
Der the Department gets bigger.
1t seems that the farmer is the
most under-rated and over-regu-
lated creature in America.
And while all taxpayers-farm-
ers included-currently pay better
than $3.50 per year to finance the
government farm program, the
farmers stand to gain the most
from an end to that system.
Once agriculture is part of the
free enterprise system again, farm
ers will be free to compete, to
grow, to prosper-without med
ding planners to tell them what

The American Wan
Potential


Potential
The capable farmer will regain
his Self-respect - he'll no longer
have to defend, or apologize for
his subsidies And he'll undoubted-
ly make more for himself-as he
competes to better serve the Amer
ican consumer.
The fair and just private enter
prize system will weed out those
who should not be farming in the
first place. They can then find
work in more productive areas
where their talents will earn them
more, and where they will con-
tribute to our standard of living.
AS matter of fact, since the
total number of farms will go
down, the Department of Agricul-
/ ture will undoubtedly be needing
more employees. And who would
be better qualified than a farmer
that couldn't make a go of his
farm?

The Farm Bureau has dedica-
ton to individual responsibility,
with each person being important
as an individual, he said. He felt
each individual should be respon-
sible for his own medical care, if
he should handle it. If not, then
his immediate family, then the local
area, then the state, then the state
in cooperation with federal, and
federal assistance only as a last
resort. He termed this basic farm
bureau policy and indicated the
King Anderson bill was presently
taking care of medical care in a
satisfactory manner. He also in
dicated the Farm Bureau was
against any tax for such care on
a compulsory basis. I'VE seek to
navigate our own destiny" he de-
clared.
1t was his feeling that the idea.
Love thy neighbor as thyself" had
changed to Love thy neighbor-
hood" which eliminated the idea of
anything personal.
He asserted again the right of
people to manage their own buSi-
nesses, with the opportunity to OBJ
tain success or failure, and based
on a profit and loss system.
He termed the present policy of
government of dividing everything
up equally, on the assumption that
for every share there would be
one vote to keep a person in office
indefinitely as socialistic proceed
ure. He said it was the policy of
the farm bureau to stay out of
such traps.
Mr.. Fleming was emphatic in
his basic beliefs, and said they
would not change, no matter which
political party was in power. He
pointed out that the founders of
this form of government had set
up safeguards against over-cOncen-
tration of power, and that appointed
