Shaping the Future B, N * "f1 ' Over the last several years, ? major change in attitude* hat prevailed which ha*, in ihc opinion of this writer, had a devastating and doomsday effect on the future of this country. America hat always been a land of oppor tunity and the place where innovativeneu it rewarded. Somewhere along the road we have deviated and our system reward* the unproduc tive through countless social programs and penalizes the productive element through in creased regulations and higher taxes. The per centage of workers on government payroll* has increased rapidly with the incentive of securing a place where one can advance and be recognized. This advancement is at the expense of the over-burdened taxpayer. The prevailing attitude it for government to do Something about any and all of' our problems. It is time for us to wake up and realize that governirjenl is not a panacea for our problems. In a democratic society govern ment has certain responsibilities to maintain a proper balance in our economy. Few of us. if any, really understand the factors which have impaired our lives and caused this erosion in our standard of living. The social implications of spreading the wealth over large masses of people have redirected our emphasis toward building dynasties layer upon layer. I9g0i? in elecnon year and an opportunity -lor ndUioni of Americans to seek out those candidaln who will do the best )ob for our country. Those candidates who speak of the free enterprise system and getting back to the baric supply - demand determinants which are supposed to set price in a free society. Too much government regulation and intervention Is taking place today and it is lime for the mid dle class taxpayer to stand up and be rr.ogaieed in proportion to his contribution toward keeping this country moving. What happens when we all become a part of Jhc system and free enterprise as we know it today, ceases to exist7 The example of Great Botain is at hand and we don't want to model Our system after theirs. We arc still "America", the land of oppor tunity; however, to remain a viable capitalistic tysiem, people must get involved to the extent of re?|uiring their representatives in elected of fices to be responsive to the things that best serve this country as a whole and less toward special interests. Altitudes make the difference and we can do something aboui the way things are. Let's gel going.

The recession of the Great ke Age left behind it a vast new territory which today com prises sixteen million square miles. When man first set foot on American soil, he was already fully developed in the physical sense, not just the sub-man of evolution. Europe, not America say the author ities. was the nursery for physically-developing man kind. and archeoiogical dis closures fully support that conclusion. I like the way the Indian writer, Jennie Laughing Cloud, puts the matter, "When man first set foot on the Western Hemisphere in the fog of creation, 'in the mist of potent growth,' as the Zuni Indians describe it, he saw before him a land covered with flowering plants and towering trees growing in rich, soft soil ...a green continent fairly exploding with life and color... a veritable Garden of Eden." It was a truly new New World, replete with all the botanical delights the human heart could conceive or imagine. It was in such an atmosphere as this that my ancestors lived, loved, moved and had their being. Then came the white gods the Indian prophets had foretold, or people who looked like them and pretended to be. And ultimately there also came the fall. Writes Robert F. Marx: "The Spaniards might well have failed in their New World conquest if the Indians had not believed them to be the returning 'bearded white gods' who according to legend had visited their lands in the heroic past." The Aztecs, under Montezuma, welcomed Corcez with open arms, every man sure in his own trusting heart that Cortez was the Fair God Quetzaicoatl. Cortez was not. Quite the contrary. Like Columbus be fore him, he used the Indian's religious hope of a coming white Messiah or Savior to his own advantage, playing the god-role to the hilt. In the name of God, he killed, robbed and enslaved. And inumer able were the other European dare-devils who followed his formula for conquest. AMERICA'S MULTIPLE "DISCOVERERS." To disco ver means to obtain sight or knowledge of ...for the first time... or to find. And while it is true that Columbus dis covered America for himself, and even also for certain others, it is equally true that he was not the first person to do so. The Indians did so unknown centuries before he; and indeed, Columbus was not even the first European to discover the New World, by his own admission. ? , ? ? a 1- . I HI- C. I I mii entry in tnc i^iw juuwira Encyclopedia "Columbus was probably not the first Euro pean to reach American shores. Vikings are thought to have landed on North America 500 years earlier." These irough tough sailor-adventur ers ot the northern seas, also called Norsemen and North men, operated from the shores of Denmark, Norway and Sweden; and were somewhat similar to the Spanish pirates of Spanish-English history. Having unusually-strong ships for that period, they sailed far out from their home ports, "plundering and pilaging." It has been recorded that, in the year 1000 A.D., Leif, the son of Eric the Red, discovered the coast of North America. This discovery seems to have cre ated little interest, however; and by the day of Columbus, seems to have been all but forgotten. This is not surprising, how ever, under the circumstances. The times that followed were days of intellectual or scholarly decline for Europe. It took Columbus and better days to rekindle that spark of interest in overseas discovery. Mara In Oeoaaa for Nov. Dec. 1973 wrote: "Rather than alloying fame as the 'dis coverer' of the New World, Columbus should be known as the man who renewed Buro Cian interest in the lends that y on the for aide of the Atlantic." Within the poet few years, a miwihtr of hewitt and Artldai hove boon written la show that C gg| n| 'OS?; he was actually well-aware of America's existence. In his article. "Who Really Discovered the New World?" the Oceana writer states: "Columbus himself actually reported evidence of European contact with it. (The New World.) During his second voyage he wrote of finding wreckage of a European ship on the Island of Guadeloupe. Some months later, while cruising along the coast of Venezuela, his small fleet of vessels was approached by a large wooden canoe containing eighty men, who he described at being of 'stout build, white skinned, with long blond hsir and beards." Columbus and his men tried to communicate with the "strange men," but they fled before their identity could be ascertained. These men might very well have been the offspring of the very Norse- i men who reached this coun try's shores, or other Ameri can shores 500 years earlier. This much is certain: These were no Hollywood stereo types of the American Indian. Did you ever hear of a typical Indian boat of the times which , could carry 80 men?) The religion of the Mormon Church revolves about the American Indian whom its members regard as the chosen people of God for these latter days. Thus their research of Native American history is tireless and endless. The church has long recognized the existence of at least two physical types of the Native American. To them, the American aborigine is the "other sheep" Jesus declared Himself to have, adding, "and these must I also bring." is it any wonder that the entire Mormon religion revolve* around the Native American? The Mormon Church is the only Christian denomination to originate in America. AMERICAN COLONIZATION by Europe, once popularly believed to have begun with Columbus in the I4Ws is now known to have been begun by Norsemen fully haif-a-milleni um earlier. Largely because of the lack of original documen tation, the subject of the non-Columbian discovery of America was discounted and stirred heated controversy among scholars until recent years. About a decade ago, however. Dr. Helge Lugs tad, a ntoed Norweigian archeokv gist, excavated at L'Anse aux Meadows in New Foundland, indisputable evidence that Norsemen established a colony on North American fully five hundred years earlier. Thus scholars could no longer consc ientiously dismiss, discard and disallow any longer the old Norse "sagas," narratives 'which spoke of voyages to these shores in the dim long ago. No longer could they be dismissed as ficticious legends, for at last they had the support of tangible proof. So now at last, a fuller and truer account of American discovery and settlement can be told. And a people long deprived of his torical credit and credence may at last receive the histori al honor due them. And who knows? The world tomorrow may even get around to honoring the Native American for a discovery and settlement that came even much earlier than that of the Vikings I We must first, however, be fully recognised as fellow human The Nm York Public Librmry A very old drawing of the American Indiana aa they fled from Columbus in Presumably, this scene took place on San Salvador(now Watling's Island), an island of the Bahemns croup. The Indians mistook the Europeans for gods. That Columbus took advantage of this misconception is proved by the later fuct that he compelled them to do his bidding by foretelling an eclipse of the moon. In describing his fourth and last voyage to America. New Standard cyclopedia says: "The natives, friendly at first, were made hostile by the bad conduct of some of Columbus's follower*. They stopped providing food until Columbus worked on their superstitions by foretelling an eclipse of the moon." In describing the third voyage, this source says: "On his return to the colony, . \.v- Columbus found general unrest among the settlers. In an effort tn calm them, he divided i the land among them and mnde slaves of the Indians." This was an action with which Queen Isabella of Spain was very much displeased. Thus we see that what started out to be a beautiful friendship ended because the Indians were exploited (for the first but not the last time in American history.) Ironically, the Indians were not only deprived of their lands, but were actually forced into slavery to work them. S.i I WE CAN'T CURE YOU. BUT WE I CAN MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER.
