THE PRINCIPLE REMAINS
It has long been a basic principle of classical econ
omics that prolonged government deficits produce in
flation—which simply means, as a practical matter, an
erosion m the value and purchasing power of the cur
rency.
This principle is now scoffed at. As alleged proof
of its fallacy, the devotees of deficit spending point to
the fact that, in late years, and in spite of steady deficits,
the dollar's value has been held to relatively steady lev
els. Increases in the price indices have been only frac
tional.
True enough — but that proves only that deficit
spending is not necessarily inflationary under every and
all conditions.
During those same late years there has been excess
plant capacity and relatively high unemployment in this
country. At no time have our productive resources been
strained, or been operated at anywhere near their lim
its. This has been one limiting factor on inflation.
But the whole effort now is to eliminate unemploy
ment on any major scale, and to massively increase plant
output. Everyone wants this. And when it is achieved,
the situation will be entirely different. If money in search
of goods and services strains our ability to produce
enough of those goods and services, inflation is inevit
able. And deficit spending is the primary producer of
that dangerous condition.
The preventives? Cuts in government spending in
all possible ways—a thumbs down policy on government
in business—an end to Welfare Statism. In the long run,
nothing else can protect the dollar—and protect the worth
of incomes, savings, pensions, and all the other material
values on which we depend—to say nothing of political
and economic independence.

Dear Dan: Do you see anything wrong with a 13-year-old
girl being a tomboy? I don’t have any boy friends because I'm
one but I do have a lot of girl friends and they all think I’m
a nut. —Jannette
Dear Jannette: Don’t wory about being a tomboy and
don’t worry about boy friends. As you lose the former,
you'll gain the latter. I wish more 13-year-old girls would
concentrate on being tomboys than on trying to be 17 and
18 years old. But you may as well know now, one of these
bright mornings you’re going to wake up and realise being
a girl isn't so bad either. Why? Because some boy will look
at you in the school hall and your tomboyish heart it going
to go thud, thud, sow!
* * * *
Dear Dan: I would like to correspond with girls of 16 to 18
and promise to answer all letters. I’m Judy Kroggel and my
address is 3020 Noble Street, Anderson, Ind., 46014.
Dear Dan: I go to our local dances every Friday night and
enjoy myself except for this one boy who is always there. He’s
out of school and has nothing but a wild reputation and I refuse
to have anything to do with him. Since he started noticing me.
I’ve made excuse? for not dancing with him when he asked
but I’m all out of them now. None of my friends like him either
and we want to know what to say. We don’t want to stop going
to the canteen just because of him. —Connie.
Dear Connie: A polite "No, thank you " should be your
three little words to his dance invitation. He'll probably
want to know your reason after several refusals and again,
just as politely, say, "I just don't want to." If he still insists,
see one of your chaperones.
Dean Dan: What chance does a boy without wheels have
with girls? I can start to date in October but it will be another
eight months before I can get my driver’s license and I want
To know what the girls think of a boy who asks for a date and
doesn’t have a car-No Wheels.
Dear No Wheels: There are a few girls in every high
school who won't dale a boy unles car transportation is
furnished but they are the small minority. The bulk of the
girls don't care one way or another and if a girl does insist
on a car, she's probably not worth dating anyway. Another
percentage of girls can't car-date. So you see, you can't lose.
• * • *
Dear Dan: How can schools tell students what they can and
can’t wear to classes? This year our high school is enforcing a
rule against jeans for boys. Last year at least 60 per cent of the
boys wore them and I don’t think the principal has the right
to tell us how to dress. Do you? Some of the teachers don’t
look too sharp. —Jean Wearer.
Dear Jean Wearer: You't got your answer in the 60
per cent figure you mentioned. The privilege of blue jeans
was being abused and your principal apparently decided
enough was enough.
You might be interested to know the national trend
in both elementary and high schools is away from jeans
and other such type of "casual" clothing. 1 think it's a
good idea.

Dear Dan: My friends and I would like to have some pen
pals. We are Gail Zerbe, 14, 321 W. Laurel Street, Tremont Pa.;
Susan Foster, 10, 321 West Laurel Street, Tremont, Pa., and
Pegy Boyer, 12, 233 West Centre Street Donaldson, Pa.

THOUGHTS
OF A
LAYMAN
MORE ABOUT THE MOON
We have pointed out that
the dark side of the moon is
about 268 degrees below zero
Fahrenheit. The light side is
several times hotter than the
Sahara Desert. The only safe
place to land would be in the
twilight zone. There is no at
mosphere, and therefore, no
oxygen to breathe and no
water to drink. Furthermore,
the surface of the moon is
covered with dry powdery
dust. Once landed, a lunar
naut would sink and be suf
focated in this feathery stuff,
unless he succeeded in strik
ing one of the mountain
peaks. Our only purpose in
going to the moon would be
to plant our flag there before
the Russians. Meanwhile the
Russians are not even going
to try. They have no desire
to waste 30 billion dollars.
Khrushchev just sits back in
his chair and laughs at our
stupidity. We need to hus
band our resources, and not
be so gullible in signing trea
ties with the Russian bear.
Ministers, Laymen
To Meet Sept. 16
The September meeting of the
Ministers and Christian Lay
men’s Association will be at
7:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 16, at
the William Miller residence in
the Palmer Church of God.
The film project at the fair
will be reviewed. An attempt
will be made to adopt a regular
rotation schedule for the
' monthly singspirations at the
’ various churches.
Christians from all denomin
, ations are urged to attend.

Hunters Required To Tag Ducks
Duck hunters, be sure to tag
your ducks before turning
them over to anyone else’s cus
tody. This warning has been
issued by Ray Trembley, U.S.
game management agent sta
tioned in the Anchorage area,
who also warns against accept
ing any such birds unless they
are properly tagged.
Game management regula
tions require that a hunter may
not leave his bag of migratory
i game birds in the custody ol
I any other persons for picking
cleaning, processing, shipping
transporting, or storage (in
cluding temporary storage) un
less the birds have a tag at
tached signed by the hunter
stating his address, the tota
number and kind of birds, anc

The person receiving the
birds is also liable, since reg
ulations prohibit him from ac
cepting them unless they are
tagged as required.
Hunters who dress the birds
before leaving the hunting site
are required to leave the head,
plumage, and feet attached to
permit identification of the
species.

THE CHURCH FOR ALL...
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest factor
on earth for the building of charac
ter and good citizenship. It is a store
house of spiritual values. Without a
strong Church, neither democracy
nor civilization can survive. There
are four sound reasons why every
person should attend services regu
larly and support the Church. They
are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For
his children’s sake. (3) For the sake
of his community and nation. (4)
For the sake of the Church itself,
which needs his moral and material
support. Plan to go to church regu
larly and read your Bible daily.
