A; bw book recalling a
' much i Criticized New Deal
Projec'lof the 1930's, the
Federal; Writers':; Project, i
remirtd us that ; writers at
that .tirpe, paid by the gov
ernment; in an anti-depression
effort, produced an in
teresting series of guide
bookstoithe various sections
of Amprica. . .
The; series then was call
ed the American Guide
series' It has been largely
negleqted since its comple
tion (the Writer's Project
died in 1939) but the books
offer (those who want to re
discover America-and es
pecially the America of that
time-i-a chance to do so,
Old Birds
In October more than for
ty American fighter pilots
from the First World War re
visited France and placed a
wreath on the tomb of the
unknown soldier. They also
visited monuments erected
to the memory of their fly
ing comrades lost in action.
Asked about his accom
plishments, Raymond Brooks .
of Summit, N.J., one of the
flyers, ; said modestly. "I
wasn't a very good flyer. I
was just lucky enough to
get my planes back. '
This honest admission
accounts for the survival of
most pilots. Only a few be
come almost invincible, and
even then luck, fortune or
mechanical .' failure could
bring them down, r
Elithu Kelton, of Palmer
ton, Pa., said he was one of
a flying class of 48, only
eight of whom survived the
war. And today's youngsters
think they have' it tough!
Not Really
Offhand can you think of
anything more impartial than
a traffic light?.

Sf:g:d Ibus
The Federal Communications Commission has asked the
three giant networks which dominate U.S. television to
submit comments on a number of staged events transmitted
as news to the public between 1968 and 1971.
The FCC, notoriously timid in regulating the networks,
was prodded by chairman Harley Staggers of a House Com
merce subcommittee. In asking the networks for comment
the FCC almost apologized for its action, issuing a state
ment, arguing that the "real criterion" in this case is
"whether the public is deceived about a matter of major
. significance." -
This is not the real criterion, which is whether televi
eicm.Tiewsmen are faking the news. It is hot whether the
fakery involved a story of major significance-who is to
decide thU?but whether news is being faked, this is the
fundamental, disturbing question.
. In keeping with its apologetic attitude, the FCC state
ment also claimed that no government agency can authen
ticate the news, or try to do so." This again is not the
question: the question is whether the FCC properly super
vises news telecasts in the public interest to prevent
fakery. Rather than issuing so many alibis for what it's not
doing (or won't do), the FCC should get on with the job of
protecting the public interest, a job long neglected.
People Defeated
Congress' decision to shelve enactment of any welfare
reform this year is a blow to many Americans and an ex
ample of Washington failing to govern effectively.
For three years now various House and Senate commit
tees have debated various reform bills, including the President's.'-
, ' ;.-.:
For a variety of reasons, none of the bills was accept
able to enough of the Senate and House, or the President.
The result-the present system remaining in effect at least
until 1977-is disappointing to all who had hoped for effec
tive reform.

. . . how would that affect the state of the nation, and
the course of history?
We should thank God for the responsibilities we DON'T
HAVE, and then seek His strength in fulfilling those we have.
It may be the. by-product of democracy, but we often
become too engrossed in the responsibilities of others
not enough in our own!
If I have a home and a family, it is part of a community,
and my community part of a nation, and my nation part of
a world. Then, for my abilities, my task may be as great as
that of the President of the United States.
It was a president who said he had been driven to his
knees many times by the knowledge that his strength was
insufficient for the day.
We all have days like that most of the time!

Lately we have been devoting our studies to the issues of
our times. Starting with this Lesson, we commence our
studies of "The Changing World of National and In
ternational Relations": , -
Specifically, this Lesson deals with the government as it
relates to the individual,' and as the individual relates to
government. Hopefully, it will delineate the responsibilities
each individual owes in order to bring about a strong and
orderly administration of national affairs, in line with
Biblical teachings.
"Freedom" is, all to often spelled "license" - in public
relationships and in the very personal relationships of "self".
Just, exactly, what does it mean to be "free"? Does it give
us license to indulge ourselves, sometimes to the detriment of
others? If the answer is "Yes"... then we are in deep trouble -both
as Christians, and as persons!
Freedom is a privilege, and it should be treated as such.
It should be used wisely, with the good of the individual and
the good of the community at heart. To misuse it, or abuse it,
is a crime against man, against the nation, and against God!
It requires a wise and tolerant stewardship.. .but not too
tolerant! We must act responsibly, and arbitrarily.
Freedom of worship (so dearly won) too often means
freedom from worship; freedom of speech deteriorates too
often to downright blasphemy; freedom of expression is,
quite erroneously, translated into dirty novels, dirty pic
tures, etc., etc.
True freedom is personified in Christ's suffering figure on
the cross, for He died that we might be free from sin. By
shedding His holy blood, He made it possible for every sinner
to approach the Throne and receive absolution from guilt
through genuine repentance. This is, indeed, the highest
freedom accorded to man!
As men, we are inclined to sin; Christ, by His sacrificial
death, offers us the opportunity to be free of this en
slavement. All we have to do to enjoy this everlasting
blessing is to believe, to repent; to stand up and proudly
proclaim our faith.
Freedom has its price... whether it be good stewardship of
a nation's rights or a person's rights. There is an order to
things - to the universe, to the government of a country, to an
individual's life. And all must be supported wholeheartedly.
The common good must prevail over personal interests. The
soul must take precedence over the physical body!
Weeach of us have a duty not only to ourselves, but to our
church, to our community, to our country and to our God. We
are charged with stewardship of ourselves and of our
fellowmen.
As professed Christians we have shared Christ's,
crucifixion; we, like Him, have died to sin. We have also died
to self, and the Holy Spirit is free to work in us.
In abandoning ourselves to the authority of Christ, we will
never mistake license for freedom, nor be unaware of our
debts to God and to mankind. We will bear our freedoms
nobly, and with love for one another. '
