MISINFORMATION aid MISCONCEPTION
Sometimes ago the Wall Street Journal ran a long
editorial on economic teaching in our schools in which it
made this telling observation: "Something is terribly
amiss when the words for free enterprise are nearly al
ways apologetic—it's a nice system when we can afford
' ts inefficiencies—and the words for all sorts of state
,planning are praiseworthy. For the sum of such teach
(ng is that the best interests of the student, and of the
nation, are best served when the decisions can be made
by wise planners on high."
This caused the Virginia, Minnesota, Mesabi Daily
News to say: "Polls and surveys of the views of students
nave shown a staggering degree of misinformation and
misconception about the economic facts of life . . . Our
Washington politicians, who pay lip service to the private
•enterprise system which has built the nation and diffused
well-being to the many, but in practice and in legisla
vion harass and hamstring legitimate business, had better
’Change their tactics."
pew things could do more to serve the communist
cause than this apologetic, demeaning attitude toward
“he American system. It is no secret that Communist lead
ers hopefully expect that this system will collapse from
within, thus obviating the necessity of attempting to des
troy it through war. If the new generations are taught,
and believe, that state planning and decision are the
proper cures to all problems, and nothing is done to
show that this is a sure road to the destruction of indi
v dual freedom, we must agree with Khrushchev. For
rhen, as he said, Communism utimately will bury us—and,
r robably, with the utmost ease.

'Opinion,
The new publication. Nation
al Observer says editorially:
"Immortality in government
was further demonstrated in a
little White House ceremony
the other day when the Presi
dent signed the new law auth
orizing the spending of $900
million on ‘emergency’ public
works. What is certain is that
this legislation authorizes pure
pork-barrel waste. Not only is
the Government constantly
spending enormous sums on or
dinary public works; it also
has a*‘depressed area’ program
intended to accomplish the
same ostensible purposes as
the new ‘emergency’ project.”

Henry A. Barnes, an auth
ority on traffic control said:
"I drove 20 miles in 20 min
utes on the Harbor Freeway
in Los Angeles; then I spent
34 minutes going three blocks

Columnist, Henry Hazlitt
says a free economy generally
saturates demand because,
"... in such a system of pri
vate property and free markets,
everybody’s reward tends to
equal the value of his produc
tion.”

“The greatest danger that we
face is not the external enemy,” |
said Senator Thurmond re- S

enemy—it is Communism from j

COLLEGE — When the
Thanksgiving dinner is over
and everyone else has gone off
to sleep it off in the living
room, you still can’t rest, Mom.
You should hustle out and take
care of the leftover turkey.
That’s the word from Miss
Agnes Sunnell, state home ec
onomics leader with the Co
operative Extension Service of
the University of Alaska. She
says you should remove any
stuffing left in the turkey right
after the meal and store it in
a covered container in the re
frigerator.
The bird should be wrapped
losely and refrigerated right
away, too. And don’t forget the
gravy! It should be cooled as
quickly as possible and stored
in the refrigerator.
For top quality and flavor,
use leftover turkey, stuffing,
and gravy within one or two
days, Miss Sunnell advises.
NATIONAL HOLIDAY
Sarah Josepha Hale, a fam
! ous woman’s magazine editor
| during the 1800’s, is credited
: with establishing Thanksgiv
ing as a national holiday. She
worked for more than 35 years
to promote the idea, reports
World Book Encyclopedia, and
in 1863 persuaded President
Abraham Lincoln to issue the
I proclamation setting aside the
1 last Thursday in November of
that year as a day of Thanks
giving.
OF A
LATUM
Origin of Man
Adam lived to be 930 years
of age. His longevity alone is
proof enough that he could
not possibly have been the
descendant of some higher
ape or other intelligent ani
mal. God says that He creat
ed man in His own image. He
breathed His Holy Spirit into
the nostrils of Adam, giving
him an immortal soul. Mod
ern psychology neglects this
feature and concerns itself
with the activities of the
mind and body, forgetting
about the soul, sin, consci
ence, angels, devils, heaven,
hell and God. Adam lost his
spiritual heritage by wilful
sin. Both the Old and New
testaments trace the geneal
ogy of man from Adam to
Christ, making the matter an
historical fact.
THE FATHER
William Bradford, the gov
ernor of the Plymouth Colony,
has been called “the father of
American history,” according
to World Book Encyclopedia.
His book, Of Plimoth Planta
tion, tells the story of the Pil
grims from the time of their
persecution In England and is
the chief source of our know
ledge of the colonists.

"MARCH OF FAITH"
The spirit of Thanksgiving takes root in the
heart of a child in the same gradual fashion most
of us have experienced.
First there is excitement and anticipation which
abundance awakens in our minds.
Then comes the pensive moment when we real
ize that all this abundance is Someone’s gift to us.
Next we know the prayer of gratitude that flows
from willing lips and a thankful heart.
Finally — and supremely — there is the sense
of confidence, of trust, in a God whose Love is
everywhere so manifest.
The hope of your neighborhood churches is that
your family’s observance of this traditional feast
may encourage the spiritual growth of your children
. . . and renew your own precious faith.
* '
THE CHURCH FOR ALL ... |!
g ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest factor
on earth for the building of char
acter and good citizenship. It is a
storehouse of spiritual values. With
out a strong Church, neither de
mocracy nor civilization can sur
vive. There are four sound reasons
why every person should attend
services regularly and support the
Church. They are: (1) For his
own sake. (2) For hie children’s
sake. (3) For the sake of his com
munity and nation. (4) For the
sake of the Church itself, which
needs his moral and material sup
port. Plan to go to church regu
larly and read your Bible daily.
