THE PEOPLE PAY
What idea, what philosophy, dominated the minds
of the men who founded this country, and laid down
*he principles they meant it to abide by?
Thomas Jefferson expressed a fundamental thought
perfectly when he said: "I am for a government that
>s rigorously frugal and simple, and not for one that
multiplies offices to make partisans, that is, to get votes,
and by every device increases the public debt under the
guise of being a public benefit."
Admittedly, there have been vast changes in the
world since the great Jefferson's day. But this does not
■excuse the development of an attitude which makes the
attraction of votes the paramount objective of great num
bers of government officials who show small concern
for the value of the dollar and who seek more and more
monolithic and dictatorial power.
The people put up every dollar that is returned to
»hem by government through welfare state charity. And
they pay not only in money but in the infinitely more
important coin of lost liberty.

The purpose of the national
school lunch program is to
safeguard the health and well
being of the nation's children
by encouraging them to eat
more nutritious food, Mrs. Cope
said, adding that it does this by
providing funds to assist in the
operation of non-profit school
lunch programs.
Most of the food used in the
programs is purchased locally,
the Palmer director stated.
However, under a provision of
the National School Lunch Act,
the U. S. Department of Agri
culture buys, and distributes to
schools participating in the
school lunch program, foods of
high nutritive value suitable
for children’s lunches.
In addition, the department
makes available from time to
time foods aimed at widening
the market outlet for farm
commodities.
A complete school lunch that
meets national standards con
sists of one one-half pint ol
whole milk; two ounces of lean
meat, poultry, fish or cheese,
or one egg, or one-half cup oi
cooked dry beans or peas, oi
four tablespoons of peanut but
ter; three-fourths cup of vege
tables or fruit or both; one oi
more portions of bread or muf

A CALENDAR OF
, Fact and
Opinion
From the report of the Un
ited States Citizens Commis
sion on NATO (a group creat
ed by Congressional action,
and approved by Presidents
Eisenhower and Kennedy):
"The new European Common
Market, including Britain
and other countries which
have aoplied for member
ship. will represent in popu
lation. resources and military
potential a force rivaling that
of the United States. A trade
partnership between the
Common Market and the Un
ited States . . . would create
an economic colossus which
would dwarf the Soviet bloc.
Unification of the foreign
policy and defense facilities
of the Allies vis-a-vis the
Soviet bloc would create
such an assertion of spirit
and power that the cold war
could subside."
* * *
From the Wall Street Jour
nal: “Business growth, as the
President observes, ultimately
rests on an economic confi
dence in the nation’s ability to
invest and produce and con
sume. The nation’s potential
growth is normous. But it is
not unreasonable to ask w'hy
there should be exuberant con
fidence in a Government that
so far seems bent on curbing
the people’s incentive and abil
ity to produce, consume, save
and invest.”
* * *
Playing detective to a sneak
explosion is not the simple task
it might seem, reports the Am
erican Petroleum Institute. It
is causing deep concern to the
U. S. government and has laun
ched the most concerted scien
tific investigation of earth
quakes and the structure of the
earth in history. The objective
is to find a reliable means of
detecting and identifying secret
underground nuclear tests of a
foreign power from great dis
tances.
* * *
| From the Portland, Ore
gon, Journal: ''The longer the
debate continues over a fed
eral withholding tax on in
come from dividends and in
terest, the clearer it becomes
that it would be an unfair
burden on low-income tax
payers, and that collecting it
would be a giant pain in the
national neck."

The Elks’ “Poachers Dinner”
Saturday night was a big sue
cess and the concurrent serving
of two uniquely Alaskan deli
cacies was hailed as the be
ginning of an annual custom
to be observed henceforth at
Lake George Break-up time.
The first delicacy—salt water
salmon—was on the bill of fare,
but the second was a surprise:
one-thousand-year-old ice from
the glacier feeding into Lake
George. The Elks' secretary,
Clair Stock, had fished out a
cake of the ancient ice as it
came floating down Knik
river.

I saw a miracle today. I visited a family
with a tiny baby, and as 1 looked at him
and held his chubby hand in mine, I felt
the thrill that comes to me each time 1
gaze upon a new life.
In my work as a minister, I call upon
many families. 1 see many babies. Yet
that thrill is always there. For of all
God’s great gifts, this is the greatest.
Nowhere, I think, does His power stand
more truly revealed to us than when
we see a small being, created in His
image.
As I held this baby today, I knew a
special gladness because his parents
are members of my church and stand
ready to bring up their son in the full,
rich light of religious train‘ng. Would
that all blessed babes were so for
tunate! It is God who gives us our
children—but it is we who must
teach them the meaning of His love,
His truth, and His eternal under
standing.
