Letters to the Editor
Member Speaks Our

resolution at his annual policy
meeting, asking that Farm Bur-
eau 60 on record as favoring
a 'NO" vote on the 1868 wheat
referendum. His resolution was
discussed by his fellow farmers
in the group, voted upon, and
passed as the wish of the ma
jority of the farmers in the
group.
At the same meeting, dele
gates are elected to carry the
approved resolutions of the
county Farm Bureau to the
State Farm Bureau convention,
held each fall. There the reso-
lutions adopted by the local
groups were presented to all
the elected delegates of the
local units to the State Conven-
ton, again the resolution for a
mo" vote was discussed, voted
upon, and passed.
After passing the State Farm
Bureau Convention, the reSolu-
ton was then presented to the
assembled delegates to the Ma
tiOnal Farm Bureau COnVen-
ton, where it was again ap-
proved and thus became Farm
Bureau Policy.

Dear Editor:

OCdA LNAtOA
In your Letters to The Edi-
tor column of April 18th, you
published a letter from Mr..
Ralph Blair in which he asks
why Farm Bureau came out
against a Yes vote in the wheat
referendum. It's very simple,
if you understand HOW Farm
Bureau policy is made.
You see, in Farm Bureau, un-
like some farm organizations,
the ideals for which Farm Bur-
eau stands are built UP from
their grass roots" farmer mem
bers, not handed DOWN to the
members from the top.
In the case Of Farm Bureau
going on record as favOring a
mo" vote on the 1868 wheat
referendum, the usual proce-
dure in formulating Farm Bur
eau policy was followed: a far
mer member Of a county Farm
Bureau unit (nCn-farmer mem
berS-thOse who receive less
than Cne-half their total in
come from farming-cannot
vote on Farm Bureau policy
formulation, nor hold office

For New Column
Dear Mr.. UrSeth:

Dear Mr.. UrSeth:
Why don't you have a col
Umn in your newspaper EMIT
led eve Salute Our Senior
Citizens"
You could start with the oc-
cupants of our own Richland
Homes, featuring one person
each week.
Underneath a picture, a short
feature story on this person.
After covering all these peo-
pie, you could use local people
over 65 and also from surround
ing areas.
Much of this material is in
cluded in ones obituary when
they die, but I personally feel
that the individual and his or
her family and friends would
get a great deal of pleasure out
of it while they and we are
alive, and it could increase your
papers circulation because each
week you could announce the
Senior Citizen" to be featur-
ed the next week.
Also, I think a Birthday
Reminder" column for the peo-
pie in Richland Homes would
be nice.
We all face the fact that we
will be "Senior Citizens" some
day and I am sure that we
will appreciate being remem-
bered or noticed if we reach
what is sometimes referred tc
as the twilight zone of ou1
lives"
Also, a "Welcome New Com
ers" column, containing name
and address, number of child
rem, ages of children, former
address, occupation, hobbies
church preference, home town
and anything else which you
as an editor would be able tC
ascertain as adding to such {
column.

At Lack of Virtue
Dear Editor. "a. CIhurch-Sta

Dear Editor: Re: Church-State
issue:
A farmer was showing a man
from the city around his farm
and at the same time discus
sing faith in God. The visitor
said, I never bow my head
when prayer is offered.
The farmer smiled, as he look
ed out over his wheat field
and then remarked, "Have you
noticed, sir, it is the "full"
heads that bend?"
Organized groups, including
infidels, agnostics and atheists
are making quite a hue. Psalm
IL Blessed is the man that
walketh not in the counsel
of the ungodly, Psalm 1:5. The
ungodly shall not stand in the
judgment, nor sinners in the
congregation of the righteous.
Psalm 1:6 For the Lord know
eth the way of the righteous;
but the way Of the ungodly
shall perish.
The plans of the goddess
should hold no allure for the
church and we have seen the
results of human planning too
often to place much faith in
the idea Of a perfect society
and a perfect world, brought
about by methods that have
failed in past generations.
j. Edgar Hoover has written:
Throughout the entire earth
today, powerful atheistic fore
es are striving to destroy every
form of worship of the true
God.
The Declaration of Indepen-
dence begins with reference to
God. The Third verse Of the
national anthem, "The Star
Spangled Banner, is a prayer
The Supreme Court, itself
opens with the prayer, "God
Bless the United States and
this honorable court" Belief
in God and Dependence upon
Him from the Bedrock Foun-
dation of our government. How
ever, it leaves each person tC
worship as he pleaSeS.
The real question in the
church-state matter, is whether
God shall be completely ruled
out of government and the
United States shall become of,
ficially atheistic.
Every church group should
be alerted, Immediately to the
real issue! Congress will 5t
put to this issue and it coull
be soon! A deluge of letter
should descend upon Washing
ton and may God continue tt
"Bless America" in the day
ahead.
