REA and all the other alphabetical agencies look like mere handouts. The oil lands were given away on a sil ver platter. Vast holdings in the West are being taken from the masses and turned over to the privileged for exploitation. Gori given natural resources centered in the for ests. grazing lands and rivers and streams, to which the smallest citizen has a valid claim, are being diverted into monopolistic channels. And now there is a strong movement to turn over to the monopolies a fourteen bil lion dollar package—atomic energy patents. It is. by far. the biggest sell-out ever pro posed in this or any other land. It is sur prising how the staid press and the kepi commentators are muffled by someone somewhere. Congressman George M. Rhodes of Penn sylvania warned about the threat of the atomic grab the other day, as follows: “It seems to me that the Congress should give greater attention to the important question of control of atomic energy. There seems to be a strong desire on the part of the Eisenhower administration to~give away this great atom power program to private monopolists, and to deny the people of America the benefits from the $14 billion payments, ll is most alarming that this im portant question gets very little attention in the Congress. There is so little publicity on this matter that the public is unaware Of the big grab which appears to be shap ing up. To permit this program to fall into flie hands of special private interests will pot only result in denying the American people the benefits of this great develop pient. but it will also be a threat to tradi tional American freedom.” ; Somebody Say Somethin# ; Cries have been sent up from the city streets and from behind the far removed Swivel chairs over the country about the farmer getting a fair price for his com modities. Nothing has been said these past Jew days as farmers sold their snap beans for 80 cents a hamper, a price too low to pay for the container and picking. Irish potato growers have stopped digging their crops ih some areas because they have found it less expensive to leave them in the ground. 1 It is now time for somebody to say some thing. It is declared by good authority that the cousumei is not sharing in the savings made possible by the producer. . Many farmers will not grow snap beans and Irish potatoes another year With low prices this year and nothing to sell next year, he’ll hardly be in the market for a jjew machine, fertilizer, auto and other articles. The whole economy will start backing up, and yet there arc those wire Can’t talk about anything but high price Supports and how foolishly unsound the program is. Mr. Ezra Taft Benson and his followers should visit the bean and potato fields and see for themselves how foolishly unsound is the system for marketing those two crops. Still IS'ot Satisfied Americans spent sixty-seven billion dol lars for food last year. And the farmer re ceived less than one-fourth that amount for producing it. There are still those who are not satis fied, and apparently want to cut the farm er's share to a fifth, or sixth and even more I A narrowed (.redo i‘r,"'}nr J.All is g-ml .to m.y will!

F'fanw>c!~4KV ih*o *vaU of Ills office was ttie'Credo of the firm for which he worked. That Credo I have bor rowed for this article. The more I read it, Uie more it impresses me. And the more personal becomes the application. “We believe that our first responsibility is to our customers Our Products must al wavs be good, and we must them better at lower costs. Our Orders must l^e promptly and accurately filled. Our Dealers must make a fair profit Rather a good yardstick against which to j test the efficiency of one’s own work, don’t ; you think? To do even little, unimportant things—honestly, accurately and fairly. To give full measure for wfcat we earn. That j is a task for each of us. “Our second responsibility is to those who work with us—each person must be consid I ered an individual standing on his own | dignity and merit.’’ Do you know. 1 think the world would ; be a pretty wonderful place to live in, if those two ideas were put into practice. Yes. I realize it is another way of saying the Golden Rule—but isn’t that the ideal law of conduct? “Our third responsibility is to our man agement. Our Executives must be persons of Talent, Education, Experience and Ability. They must be persons of Common Sense and Full Understanding.” There is a congressional election in the offing. IP" we applied that yardstick to the men we put into office, if we cast into the discard political hacks who couldn’t meas ure up—wouldn’t we have a government that could do a job! “Our Fourth Responsibility is to the com munities in which we live. We must be a good citizen . . . participate in promotion of civic improvement . . . and good govern ment.” That is a call for positive action! No kibitzing from the sidelines — but a full realization and recognition of where re sponsibility lies—and what is our job as j citizens. “Our fiftli and last responsibility is to our stockholders. . . . Reserves must be created, research must be carried on, adven turous programs developed, and mistakes made and paid for.” In short—our only real security is not in 1 what other people — or government — may,.. | do for us but in what we can do for ogr selves. See what 1 mean? This is a credo that means as much to each of us—as we have _ - __ Byrd Kronomy Senator Harry Byrd hasn’t been heard much lately in his screaming for economy. It is possible that lie is remaining quiet while the federal government mukes ready to pump nearly three-quarters of a mil lion dollars into a project at Virginia Beach. The gentleman from Virginia has the gall to yell about economy in forty-seven states while free spending goes rapidly forward in his own state. It would be encouraging to hear Mr. Byrd start crying for economy at Virginia Beach, at Newport News, at Little Creek, at Lang ley Field, at Pendleton. Norfolk. 60 Second Sermons By Fred Dodge .TEXT: “Liberty has re straints, but no fron tiers."—Lloyd George. A little boy who didn’t think Jie was having his own way as much as he should, asked his father: "Pop, when will I be old enougn t<> no as i piease.' "I don't know,” bis father replied, “No body has lived that long yet.” V ** * Anyone may do as he pleases any time •} that he pleases. He simply must remem ber that 2 plus 2 make 4. When he selfish ly whines that 2 plus 2 should equal 5, or cynically sneers that 2 plus 2 is only 8, he gets into trouble. The fellow who demands that the rules be changed so that he may obtain the answer that he wants, is inviting chaos. He will always be unhappy. He is the one who complains, “Aw, I thought this was a free country.” This country is not free. It’s citizens do have more liberties than men ever possess ed before. These liberties are held by keep ing a few rules. To change a rule to please a selfish complainer would be as wrong as to agree that, sometime, 2 plus 2 equal 3 or 5—just to quiet them. No compromise will satisfy a fault iinder. The man who obeys the rules asks no compromise.
