For example, fadlO ana W stations can't operate without a license who issues the license? The government, of course. But only if they decide you deserve one.
 Railroads, electric-power companies, pipelines, interstate truckers and barge lines aren't permitted to set their own rates. The government tells them what they can charge.
 Management of the news" "a new polite term meaning distortion" has apparently become standard government procedure. Cts no secret that the White House virtually os- tracked reporters from a famous New York newspaper because the President resented something it printed.)
 In labor-management rela- tions, government meddling has been downright disastrous. It's all but hamstrung business and it's also deprived the American worker of his basic freedom to decide for himself whether he joins a union and what he settles for.
 Remember that the White House has issued directiveS to all government agencies, even the military, virtually inviting unions to move in and sign up civilian employees.
 The administrations toler- ance of monopolistic unions is obvious, and leads to an in- escapable question; Why?
 Could it be to curry favor among unions for votes that would perpetuate an adminis- tration's existence?
 All this just doesn't add up to the American way of doing things. The tragic fact is that within the past few decades the government has spun a web of supports, subsidies, in terventions and controls that threaten to extinguish the spir- it of free enterprise.
 It would be difficult to name a basic American freedom that has escaped the long arm of government. Power breeds on power, and the bigger the gov- ernment grows, the more greedy it's demands become.
 I refuse to believe that self reliance, thrift and freedom of the individual are obsolete and have no place in modern so- ciety.
 To me, just to sit back and let the Big Government take over all of my freedoms and responsibilities, and make all the decisions would be intol- erable.
 How about you?

Comment from ihe Copifof -

Making a 100-year forecast is one thing. Having history prove it right is another.
 Alexis de Tocqueville, world famous commentator on Amer ican democracy, did both.
 Well over a century ago, he warned how the growth of big government could put the skids on our free enterprise system and reduce us to nothing more than a flock of timid and in- dustrious animals, of which the government is the shep- herd"
 Whats more, he was right. That's exactly what's happen ing today.
 The fact is that our govern ment is mushrooming into a massive monster, with an in satiable appetite for power.
 And as it grows bigger and bigger, it's crowding the price less American traditions of rugged individualism, freedom and self-reliance, closer and closer to extinction.
 Let's take close hard look at what's going on.
 Fifteen years ago, there were Fl million workers on public payrolls. Now there are 12.3 million-a jump of 73 per cent. And don't expect it to stay at that.
 But that's only small part of this story. Those on the receiving end of federal pro gram funds, and their depend ents, plus those on federal, civilian and military payrolls, and their families may we'll add up to half the population of the United. States.
 Who says so? A highly re- spected Democratic congress- man-Senator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia.
 All this, of course, takes money, and in the end it's always the taxpayer who suf- fers. Federal, state and local taxes take away from us about 35 percent of our national in- come-more than third of what all people and business corpo- rations earn.
 Naturally, a big fat bank roll like this commands a lot of difference in the nations marketplace. And well it should. One out of every five dollars spent on goods and services is spent by the government.
 Now take a good look at those government dollars and you'll make an important dis covery. They have strings at tached to them-long strings that more often than not stretch all the way back to Washington.

Freedom and Justice Take Back Seat With Malevolence X Hatred Driving

Presidents. But the worst crim- inal, even the killer of President, is entitled to a fair trial.
 Even here in Washington, the nations capital, there is growing uneasiness about walking the streets at night because of the number of people being robbed, stabbed, shot or dragged into al- leys to be raped.
 Adlai E. Stevenson, twice a Presidential candidate and now US. Ambassador to the United Nations, found exactly one month ago, also in Dallas, that not even a man in his position was safe from some violence on the street.
 After leaving an auditorium. where he made a speech on the 18th birthday of the United Ma tions, he was surrounded by pick cts, one of whom spat in his face. He was hit on the head with a sign carried by a woman.
 Stevenson, who has fine sense of history, freedom and justice, told her: Its all right to have your own views but don't hit anyone"
 Sunday, Chief Justice Earl War ren, at a eulogy beside Kennedy's casket, wondered what moved some misguided wretch" to mur der the President.
 He said: We do know that such acts are commonly stimulated by 1 forces of hatred and malevolence such as today are eating their way into the bloodstream of American life. What a price to pay for fanaticism'
 He knows about fanaticism. Hate has spilled all over him and the other justices of the Supreme Court for their decisions on the side of freedom and civil rights.
 He has been ridiculed and mocked. There have been calls to lynch him and impeach him for giving aid and comfort to the Communist conspiracy"
 Also Sunday former Vice Pres ident Richard M. Nixon asked all Americans to "pledge themselves to fight this tendency of hatred and violence we've seen in the last two days We cannot help but deplore man taking the law into his own hands"
 And Dr. Raymond Grant, Methodist bishop in Oregon, said: T shuddered when I learned that crowds cheered when Lee Oswald had been killed God have mercy upon us, that human life has be- come so cheap and that tragedy has been heaped upon tragedy"

 WASHINGTON R - It's time America took a look at itself.
 When an African or Asian lead CT is slain it may be regarded as the result of a society less ad- vanced than this one. This is an American myth, as Americans have demonstrated once again.
 A President and a policeman shot to death and governor wounded in Dallas and the man charged with the crimes in turn murdered, before he got fair trial, by gunman who leaped through police lines to shoot him.
 These crimes are a product of the American society where vio- lence and talk of violence increase as state officials defy federal court orders until troops are called out to stop them.
 Yet, supreme achievements of the Western world are supposed to be respect for law, democratic and orderly change in government, a fair trial, and freedom and pro- lection of freedom for the indi- vidual man, no matter who he is. If President Kennedy had been the first President killed in office, it would be awful enough.
 It would mean one individual, ignoring constitutional and peace ful change in government, decided to take the law into his own hands to eliminate an elected leader. But killing American Presidents, or trying to, is now assuming the complexion of a tradition. Four have been assassinated: Lincoln. Garfield, Mckinley, and now Ken nedy.
 Attempts were made on the lives of three other Presidents: Jackson, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Truman. A gunman shot Theodore Roose- welt after his Presidency but while he was seeking reelection.
 In that same period of almost 100 years not one British prime min ister was assassinated. A madman did kill prime minister, Spencer Perceval, 151 years ago.
 It can't be argued the British are basically different or that among them the percentage of lu- natics or discontented are pro- portionately smaller. They are simply more dedicated to peaceful and orderly government.
 AS long ago as 1900 B.C. an Egyptian king, Rameses III, look ing over his own administration of law and justice, said: T made the land safe so that a lone woman could go on her way freely and none would molest her"
 That's more than the United States can say today, 3,100 years later, even about the safety of it's

When the strings are pulled, people and companies all over the country darce to whatever tune the Administration chooses to whistle. No dance, no dollars.

FILA Launches
Emergency Farm
Loan Program

The Farmers Home Admins
tration is taking all possible
steps to meet the credit needs
OF farmers in this area hard hit
by the severe drought this past
summer and fall, Curtis T.
Roach and Hunter P. Evans,
the agency's county supervisors
reported today.
Roach and Evans have just re-
turned from a meeting Of na-
tional, state and county Farmers
Home Administration officials in
Richmond where progress made
to date in the agency's emer-
gency loan program was re-
viewed.
The demand for loans may run
into the millions Of dollars in the
rs Virginia counties designated
for emergency loan assistance by
Secretary of Agriculture Orville
L. Freeman, FILA officials be-
ieve.
Applications for loans may be
made at the FILA county offices
at Cumberland, located in the
Cumberland G ar a ge Building
and at Farmville, located in the
Watson Insurance Building on
Main Street.
Emergency loans are specifi-
cally designed to help those
farmers, whose crops, livestock,
feed and pasture have been af-
fected by the drought. resume
normal farming operations. The
loans enable farmers to avoid
selling off foundation livestock,
machinery, and other capital as
sets needed to operate their
farms.
Emergency loans bear three
per cent interest and may be
used to pay for feed, seed, fuel,
fertilizer, and other crop and
livestock expenses.
To be eligible farmer must
be unable to obtain the neces-
sary credit to continue his nor
NAL farming operations from
other sources. He must also have
suitable experience and reason
able prospects for success in the
farming operations he plans to
carry on with the loan.
Farmers who borrow are ex-
pected to repay their loans as
soon as possible consistent with
their repayment abilities. Loans
are secured by liens on crops fl
nanced and on chattel property
and by liens on real estate
when necessary for adequate
loan security.

Tips Given On
Winter Storing
Sprayers, busters

With most gardening chores
behind for another year. it's
time now to clean UP sprayers
and busters. says S. B. Femme,
plant pathologist at Virginia
Polytechnic Institute.
Wash sprayers carefully to re-
move spray residueS. A weak
vinegar solution will help re-
move spray materials. A t e +
washing, coat the tank and
other metal parts with a thin
covering Of oil and hang it in a
dry location.
The procedure for busters is
somewhat different than for
sprayers. You should not wash
out a buster, but the dust should
be carefully removed with stiff
brush and then some Of the out
side metal parts lightly oiled.
Take care not to get oil inside
the buster because that would
tend to cause caking Of the dust
next season. After the buster is
thoroughly cleaned. hang it in a
dry place for storage.
Some gardeners ask, rs it
safe to save leftover pesticides
for EeXt years use?" Femme
says most chemicals can be
used the following year if they
are stored in a dry place in air
tight containers.
1t is important to label left
over chemicals carefully so that
you will make no mistake in
their use the following year. One
Of the best ways to store chami-
calls is to place them in a glass
fruit jar which can be tightly
sealed to prevent evaporation
Store all chemicals in safe
place away from the reach of
children and animals, because
most pesticide chemicals are
somewhat of a health hazard.
