If You Really Want To Cut The
*
National Budget...
As you know, the Executive Department of our Government has
asked Congress for authority to spend $72 billion during the next
fiscal year . This money, of course, must come from our pockets,
jrours and mine. There is no other place to get it
The word ‘billion’ is a hard one to grasp, an amount that is
difficult to measure and fully comprehend. So perhaps we can bet
ter visualize the $72 billion that we taxpayers of America may be
forced to contribute if we speak of it as 72,000 million dollars. Or
maybe we can get at it better by making comparisons like these:
Considerably less than 72 billion seconds have passed
S since the birth of Christ
If, we took thousand dollar bills and stacked them in
stacks, one on top of the other, it would take almost six
teen piles the height of the Empire State Building to use
up the 72 billion.
If we str, >d these same thousand dollar bills, end
to end, alo«.<? ,e ground, they would stretch 6,718 miles,
or enough to reach from coast to coast and back, with
enough left over to go almost to Chicago.
Visualize the total production of every farm, every plan
tation, every livestock range and feedlot, all the fruits,
the vegetables, the nuts—everything produced by our
agricultural industries in an entire year. With $72 bil
lion we could buy every bushel, every pound, every gal
lon and, what’s more, buy it twice over.
This is the amount the Executive Department of our Govern
ment proposes to spend in one year. And for what?
Granted that some expenses, like the interest on our huge pub
lic debt, cannot be avoided. But a careful examination of the bud
get details will show that a great many of the proposed expenditures,
including those for National Defense, are not only unnecessary but
are downright ridiculous.
If our family budget were allocated and spent as loosely and
freely as the Bureaus in Washington propose, and if we authorized
every expenditure that any member of the family wanted to make,
we would soon be looked on as spendthrifts and disowned by the
community.
Yet this is precisely what the Executive Department of our
Government is threatening to do—and with our funds. If we, as
citizens, expect of our representatives in Washington the same fru
gality, the same sound business judgment in the handling of fin
ances that we, as individuals practice ourselves, we must speak up
and say so. We urge you to take just a little time—right now—
to let your Senator and Representative know how you feel about it
It is their vote that will decide how much will be spent and for what
It goes without saying that financial stability and economic
health are far, far more important in the case of our country than
they are in the case of any individual. And this country, like our
families, belong to us and is our responsibility. But whether coun
try or family, it is our financial resources, our future that is at stake.
No one else is going to foot the bill.
And as we think about the size of that bill, it might be helpful
if we keep these facts in mind:
From the year 1792, when the first session of the first
Congress convened, to 1950, the Government collected
$406 billion in taxes.
From 1950 through 1956, the Government collected $433
billion in taxes.
In other words, the Government collected during just
the past seven years $27 billion more than it collected
during the previous 158 years.
It only takes a 2c postcard to write your representatives in
Washington, and they would like to hear from you. Do it today.
Here is the way you should address them:

A farmer near Crete is raising a test plot of a new variety
of oats this year. The man was pictured standing beside some of

Church Blasts
African Laws
Segregation
LONDON, England — Officia
action condemning the South At
rican government’s apartheic
(segregation) policies, especially
as they affect religion and eduea
tion, has been taken by the
Church of England.
Resolutions adopted by the Con
vocation of Canterbury expressed
“deep sympathy with the Church
of the Province of South Africa
*
and all those other churches now
engaged in struggling to preserve
the inviolate right of members ol
Christian churches to worship to
gether without distinction of race
or color.” 1 assured South African
bishops of the constant support
and prayers of the Canterbury
bishops in opposing the Native
Laws Amendment Bill, which,
among other things, prohibits
Negroes from attending services
at churches in white communities
without specific permission from
the Minister of Native Affairs, j
The resolution also voiced opposi
tion to a bill providing for separ-1
ate university education of natives
and whites. Almost identical ac
tion was taken by the Convocation
Df York.
The Most Rev. and Rt. Hon.
Geoffrey Francis Fisher, Arch
bishop of Canterbury, said that
although the resolutions repre
sented the Church’s first official
action on the policies of the South j
African government, he and the
late Archbishop of York, Dr. Cy
ril Foster Garbett, had on occa-'
sion declared that apartheid was
wrong. “But the Church in gen-|
eral has been deliberately re-;
strained,” he said, "because the
bishops of the Province of South
Africa had said it would embar-:
rass them and increase their dif
ficulties.”
Dr. Fisher recalled that the late .
Anglican Bishop of Capetown, Dr.
Geoffrey Hare Clayton, just be-1
fore his death last March had sent
9 letter to the Souh African Primej
Minister protesting the legislation
which would give the government!
:ontrol over church services at
tended by both Europeans and
Africans. The letter was handed
to the Prime Minister after the
archbishop's death. Br. Claytoi
had written Dr. Fisher asking tha'
his action be represented favor
ably to the Church of England.
“I believe,” Dr. Fisher said
“that H would be within the wish
es of that great and gloriou;
Christian leader if the Churcl
: of England now said somethin,
in public."
Bishop G. K. A. Bell of Chi
i Chester, who introduced the Can
: terbury resolution, said he fearec
i relations between the races in
South Africa were worsening and
might get beyond control. Bishop
John Leonard Wilson of Birming
ham said he thought the protest
“a little too late.” He added,
I however, that he was glad people
should understand “the theologi
; cal heresy” of apartheid.
Reeves Scores
African Law
NEW YORK, N. Y.—Dr. Rich
ard Ambrose Reeves, Anglican
Bishop of Johannesburg, said here
there would be open conflict be
tween Church and State in South
Africa if the government enforces;
a recently-enacted law which
bars Negroes from attending wor
ship services in white communi
ties
He warned that if the Minister
of Native Affairs uses his author
ity to keep Africans away from
“white churches” the Anglican
and other Churches "will tell the
people to disobey the law and
then stand by them to the end, ’
Dr. Reeves, an outspoken foe of
the South African government's
apartheid (segregation) policy, was
here for a seven-week speaking
tour. The tour is sponsored by
the American Church Union, an
Episcopal group, and the South1
Africa Defense Fund.
The bishop heads the Treason!
Trials Defense Committee which!
is seeking more than $400,000 for
the legal defense and family sup
port of 156 persons accused by tha
South African government of high
treason because they resisted the
official apartheid policy.
Funds for this purpose are be
ing collected in the U. S, by the;
South Africa Defense Fund.

A Freedom of Religion parade that extended solidly for seven
blocks opened the Pawnee City Centennial last week. The parade
was seen by hundreds of witnesses garbed in the costumes of the
early settlers.
The parade included beautiful floats of the churches and

senting an era long since gone by. The Centennial will continue
at regular intervals for several months. The Pawnee Republican
devoted more than half of its front page to pictures of the floats

The Lyons Mirror-Sun revealed last week that the town of
Lyons has cut its tax levy 13% for next year. City taxes there
next year will be 16 mills which is 8.2S mills less than it was five

the reduction is regarded as unusual.

The Ord Quiz headlined a drop in school population in last
week’s newspaper. Ord will have 07 fewer children next year
than it has had the past year, the newspaper stated. The drop
in school population is attributed to several large families which
moved from town. These were replaced, the Quiz stated, by young
married couples which do not have children.
The Quiz also stated that Broken Bow is reporting a drop in
school census. The census there shows a drop of 287 pupils or a
bout 20% in the school’s total enrollment. This is the second
consecutive year the Broken Bow schools have shown a decrease,
said the Quiz.
The North Loup schools show a loss of but two pupils, accord
