n HUNGER FOR LEADERSHIP
The following consists of excerpts from a year-end
♦•message written by Frank McLaughlin, long an industrial
leader of Seattle:
The year finds people everywhere greatly per
p''exed and extremely apprehensive about their Wel
fare and Destiny.
The relationship of nations throughout the world
* • at a low ebb. The understanding of the people has not
•kep*acc rvith the growth of complexity in human affairs.
The crux of the greatest world crisis in modern
! • . e further weakening of man's spiritual dedi
cation ?nd the r»rvid erosion of his moral fiber.
'The dollar bill is no substitute for the Bible. There
ore no episodes in our history more destructive
of the American Heritage than the lure of Something for 1
Nothing, and the panacea of Security from the Cradle
fo the Grave.
It is tragic that at a time when we are faced with
i gruSiusf :iteu for spiritual adherence and growth,
for hard-core moral fiber, we are witnessing a constant
deterioration of these attributes and qualities.
There is a hunger for wise, intelligent, corageous
leadership. The very future of mankind hovers between
ft’.c Quick and the Dead!"
SstrfH.0 BE PLENTY
In 1962 the New Frontier is beginning to look more
like the N.R.A. with narrow labels. Theory seems to be
that to get votes you have to give the dear people less
to do, more time to do it in and more pay for not getting
it Hon~ Ore economist suspected of being a conservative
.uggests that if you re an old timer you can remember
was Heaven that protected the working girl—now it
fakes a union, a wagehour law, unemployment compen
sation, social security, health insurance and a pension
plan

The IRS representative also
reminded Alaska area taxpay- j

worked, \V-2's for each must be
attached. And when either or;
both spouses held more than
one job during the year, all

THt CHURCH FOR ALL ... AIL FOR THE CHUHCH
{£ i
The Church is the greatest factor on
earth for the building of character and
good citizenship. It is a storehouse of
spiritual values. Without a strong Church,
neither democracy nor civilisation can sur
vive. There are four sound reasons why
pery person should attend services regu
larly and support the Church. They are
'V ,,hl$ Swn sake* W For kis children's
sake. (3) ror the sake of his community
and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church
itse.f, which needs his moral and material
support. Plan to fo to church regularly
and read your Bitdt daily.
