Too Many Statistics
From Industrial Netvs Review
rpOO MANY OF THE ARGUMENTS against the Welfare State
philosophy are based solely on economic grounds. Sets of
king-sized statistics show us that the costs are staggering, that they
steadily increase, generating momentum within themselves, and
that, even at best, much of the money wrung from the taxpayers
never reaches the supposed beneficiaries. It is lost in administrative
overhead.
These are enormously important matters but they fail to
tell the whole story. In the long view, the worst aspect of the !
Welfare State is its impact on human character. Thrift, self
reliance, independence, a sense of family and community obliga
tion — these and other such essential virtues go out the window.
The attitude becomes — why should we worry, the government
will take care of us.
Thus are the sinews of a nation sapped. Thus does it grow j
frail and flabby. Thus, ultimately, is the door opened to the
destruction of representative government.
Psalm of the Welfare State
rPHE GOVERNMENT IS MY SHEPHERD, I shall not work. It
alloweth me to lie down on good jobs, it leadeth me beside
still factories. It destroyeth my initiative, it leadeth me in the paths
of the parasite, for politics sake. Yea, though I walk through the
valley of laziness and deficit spending, 1 shall fear no evil, for
the doles and the vote-getters, they comfort me. It prepareth an
economic utopia for me by appropriating the earnings of my
grandchildren. It filleth my head with bologna. My efficiency
runneth over. Surely the government will care for me all the days
of my life and I shall dwell in a fools paradise forever.

Letter To
The Editor
To The Editor:
Every fall for the last few years
school children have been bringing
descriptive brochures for school
accident insurance home with
them.
Parents and guardians should
understand that this insurance is
excellent coverage and that they
cannot go wrong for the price
offered.
I ask that they read the bro
chure carefully and consider it
seriously before deciding for or
against this special coverage. Even
if they have other accident and
health coverage, this insurance can
be beneficial.
The Life Insurance companies
who offer this program perform
this as a service, and have no in
tention of making any money
from it.
Parents can protect their child,
and their pocketbok by subscribing
to this Insurance.
As your local Insurance Agent,
I urge all parents to take out the
24-hour coverage for all of their
school children.

Mrs. Donald Lyle, Nome Chair
man, Alaska Crippled Children’s
Assn.:
“Once again, we here at the
Nome Hospital extend our thanks
to the Alaska Crippled Children’s
Association for their gift of the
Thomas Collars and Goniometer to
our Pnysical Therapy Department.
This gift has made it possible
for us to give better care to those
with orthopedic problems, and I
am sure it is also satisfying to
those in the community who have
given to this worthy organization
which you represent to know that
their contributions have not only
contributed to the State-wide pro
gram but also to the health of
those in their own community.
Thank you so much. — (signed)
