THE ESCAPE ROUTE
More and more taxpaying enterprises are express
ing themselves through advertising and direct state
ments by their executives on questions which involve
our future independence.
A recent advertisement of the Hyster Company of
Portland, Oregon, is an example. It does not make a sales
talk for its product but comments on conditions which
affect the future of every private job, private activity,
and representative government. It says in part:
"A former Supreme Court Chief Justice, Salmon
P. Chase, has provided the best short description of the
foundation of American government: 'The Constitution,
in all its provisions, looks to an indestructible Union com
posed of indestructible States' . . .
"The federal government has gradually pre-empted
the authority of the State in every walk of life . The
result ... is more and more dependence on 'benefits'
from a benevolent government.
"In 1932, 2,196,000 people received a monthly
check from the federal government. Today, 40 million
people are receiving monthly checks from government.
"We owe more money than all the rest of the world
combined, yet our budget increases in fantastic propor
tions—not for defense but for the insatiable demands of
the welfare state.
"Only Congress can save us . . . men who will force
a return to the simple economic truths and moral stand
ards that made us great."

DEAR TEENAGERS: With school soon to start, let me give
you a word of advice. Step into the 1963-64 year with the prop
er attitude.
You freshmen will be small potatoes in a large pot of stew '
but if you can survive the first week, you probably won’t suffer ;
nervous breakdowns. Remember, the swaggering sophomores |
you'll be seeing in the halls and classrooms were as fearful and
self-conscious a year ago as you are today.
You upperclassmen, if you had problems last school year, j
try not to get into the same jack pot again this year.
The important thing for all of you to remember, whatever
grade you’re entering, is that you’re in school for an education.
You may not always concede the point but your teachers do!
know more than you. You're not in school to cause trouble, to
throw your weight around, to kill time or to be a smart-aleck.
You’re there to learn and you can learn if you pay attention to
the people who are being paid to instruct you.
Speaking as someone who had his share of problems while
in high school, let me say that when you don’t understand a
subject or anything pertaining to school and school activities,
ask. Getting off on the right foot in those first two or three
weeks will set the pattern for your entire school year. Do your
best at all times and whether your best only results in a C-min
us, you’ll need apo ogize to no one. Good luck.

DEAR DAN: Is it normal for a girl to see a boy only once,
not even speak to him, and still believe she has a crush on him?
That’s my problem. Is it because I’m only 14?—ANXIOUS.
Dear Anxious: It's as normal as Christmas coming
on December 25. However, 14-year-old girls don't have
a complete monopoly on crushes and boys they've seen
only once. But it's nothing to lose sleep over.
* * * *
DEAR DAN: Maybe this isn’t a problem but I have to know
what you think before it’s too late. Every year we have a big
school dance just before Thanksgiving and I’ve already been
asked to go by this boy in my room. Maybe I should feel flatter
ed but I don’t. I want to go to the dance more than anything in
the world but the boy who asked me isn’t my idea of an escort.
He’s all right but I just don’t particularly like him.
Last year I wasn't asked and I spent the Avhole evening in
my room crying into my pillow. I don’t want it to happen this
year but neither do I want to accept an invitation this soon.
What should I do?—F.G.
Dear F.G.: The boy may not know any better or
he may just be an eager beaver but he should have
waited at least until mid-October. Tell him the dance
is too far in the future for you to plan about. Make it
clear you're not obligating yourself to be his date if
you do decide to go. But at least you now know one
thing—you do have an admirer.
* * * *
DEAR DAN: I know you’re opposed to car-dating by girls
of 14 but what are you supposed to do when you live nine miles
out of town on a farm? Are you supposed to ask the boy to
“walk” to town with you? Have you got a smart answer for
that one?—RURAL GIRL.
Dear Rural Girl: Of course. I've got an answer.
You shouldn't be dating for another year. But as long as
you do have that privilege. I'm sure your parents allow
boys to drive you into town.

Frontiersman. For personal replies enclose a stamped,

Personal Income Readies Record
Dollar Volume In Alaska In 1962
Personal income, the most
comprehensive measure of ec
onomic activity on a geogra
phic basis, was at a record dol
lar volume for Alaska in 1962.
It totalled 656 million dollars,
a 4 per cent increase over
1961’s total of 628 million. The
year 1962 saw all states reach
ing record highs.
Alaska's per capita income
increased very little, moving
from $2661 in 1961 to $2667 in
1962. The smal per capita in
crease despite the substantial
rise in total personal income
indicates a population growth
aproximately the same rate as
that for personal income. Total
personal income for the nation
incerased 6 per cent and the
per capita level rose 4 per
cen from $2267 to $2366.
Nine states and the District
of Columbia had higher per
capita income than did Alas
E6G PRODUCTION
DROPS SLIGHTLY
Egg production in Alaska
during July averaged 1779 eggs
per hundred layers, compared
to 1885 during July of last
year, the USDA statistical re
porting service has announced.
The average daily rate of lay
i per hundred layers at 57.4 eggs
was 3.4 eggs below July last
year. Culling of flocks has been
relatively light the past three
months.
The rate of lay on Aug. 1 at
57.8 eggs per hundred layers
compared with 62.4 eggs on
Aug. 1, 1962.
Very few pullets were added
to the laying flock during July,
and nearly two per cent of
laying flock was culled out.
Death losses were higher than
usual, amounting to 1.4 per
cent of the laying flock as a
result of dogs breaking into
one flock. This also affected
production in that flock. Pro
duction of 534,000 eggs during
July compares with 584.000
during July last year and 535,
000 during June, 1963.
Nationwide, egg production
per hundred layers in July was

New Jersey ($2887), Illinois

These latest figures repre

considerable additional infor

Prayers of the Saints
God’s Word tells us that
the prayers of the saints rise
as incense before the face of
God. In addition, God’s own
Holy Spirit intercedes for us
with “groanings that cannot
be uttered.” Who are these
saints? Just ordinary sin
ners, such as you and I who
have accepted salvation thru
the blood of Jesus Christ.
There are two kinds of peo
ple in the world, saved and
unsaved sinners. If you are a
believer, then you are a
saint, because you are cloth
ed with the righteousness of
Christ. And we are told that
the prayers of the righteous
avail much.
