ADVERTISE IN THE HARPER HERALD
The Harper Herald was founded on April 27,1908. The
Harper Herald was re-established by J. Marvin Hunter
on Feb. 26, 1926. His son, Warren Hunter, took over as
editor-publisher until 1938, selling to Harold Dietel who
in turn sold The Herald to his brother, Norman J. Dietel,
in 1941. N.J.D. continued as editor-publisher and owner
for 41 years. The Radio Post Inc. purchased The Herald

MONEY, MONEY! What is money
other than a medium of exchange, for
use in buying, selling, for trading, for
security, for saving and for spending!
Money, it has been wisely said, is the
root of all (most) evil. A hundred years
ago our nation, the United States of
America, had no national debt, at least
very little. Today, in 1983, the national
debt is said to be over a trillion several
hundred billion dollars. Recently a
news release in a prominent nationally-
circulated newspaper, the national debt
was said to be not just one trillion, but
seven trillion, over and above. This,
supposedly is a debt which our Con-
gress, the banking system, has foisted
upon the American citizens. Not with
their consent, but nevertheless it was
accrued over the years. No real effort is
being made, it seems, to diminish that
national debt. Congress, the Legisla-
tors in the House of Representatives as
well as in the U. S. Senate, constantly
approve additional funds to create an
unending increase in the national debt.
Last week the Congress approved a bill
that would prohibit the payroll de-
crease of federal employees. The cost: a
mere extra thirty million dollars. Not
long ago this year the legislators ap-
proved, in a rather clever manner, the
increase of their own annual ‘salary’ by
something like ten thousand.
—Range & Field—
THOMAS JEFFERSON was quoted in
1816 as having advised that our nation
could be conquered by debt. Who wants
to conquer the United States? The Com-
mies (Soviets) have maintained that
they can, or would, take over the
United States without firing a shot.
That assertion has been attributed to
former Soviet Commissar Kurschev, as
well as other leaders of the Soviet
regime. Why would they want to take
over this country in the first place, with
that kind of a huge debt. . . which has
to be paid.(?) Perhaps they want to pay
it, as well as their own debt to this
nation, to our banking institutions. It is
true that it was the American soldiers
who came to the aid of the Soviets and
helped save their country in WWII.
Why now the turn of heart, apparently,
when in recent years the Soviets dare to
oppose the U. S. in efforts to establish
FREEDOM, HUMAN RIGHTS, for
Russian people as well as for other
peoples around the world!
—Range & Field—
NOT A SINGLE SENATOR or mem-
ber of the House of Representatives in
Washington, D. C., seems to have the
courage, the guts, to oppose the
creation of additional national debt. No
one wants to stick his, or her, neck out
and say WE MUST REDUCE OUR
NATIONAL DEBT. Period. Instead,
everyone, every city, every political en-
tity, keeps running to Washington
seeking more money, financial aid for
their distressed situations, financial
woes, disasters. It’s not only our own
people, cities, states, that constantly
seek financial aid in Washington, but it
appears that virtually every country on
this earth seeks assistance, economic
and military, in Washington, D. C. The
latest are small nations in Africa,
mostly following the Marxist theory,
communism, which will benefit if the
Congress approves a plea for IMF (In-
ternational Monetary Funds), a
measure brought up for passage in the
Congress last week. On the one hand
the citizens of the United States do not
want communism imposed here but are
asked to support, indirectly, the Marx,
Lenin, way of life elsewhere. Where are
the STATESMEN in our halls of Con-
gress that dare oppose the international
banking system who seem bent on aid-
ing governments not in keeping with
our own ideas.

A YOUNG MAN recently related his
experience with financing (mortgaging)
a home they built two years ago. He
noted that the interest rates were too
high and it is difficult, indeed, for a
young couple to purchase a building
site, construct a home, provide it with
furniture, appliances. He was perhaps
fortunate, he said, in that he was able to
negotiate the necessary loan from the
FHA at a lower interest rate than else-
where. The interest rate has been fluc-
tuating, he noted, and in the case of
other young couples he mused that it is
just about impossible for someone to
make interest payments, plus install-
ments on the home, furnishings, etc.
Nevertheless, the building trade around
the nation seems to be improving and
construction business is getting better
almost everywhere. This is good news
and let’s hope that interest rates, mor-
tgage rates, come down a little more for
the benefit of the young couples, or
anyone in the older age brackets, who
might contemplate building a new
house or place of business.

THE TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY Ag-
gricultural Extension Service provides
beneficial services in various ways. It
also submits .informative news stories
to Texas weekly and daily newspapers,
radio and TV. One such article was
submitted for publication on Feb. 23,
1983, which I kept, fortunately, for use
some time when space permitted. Our
readers will find this item informative
since it deals with family economy
(Texas) and is applicable to the rest of
our country:
MENACING FAMILY ECONOMY
COLLEGE STATION - In spite of
concerns about the national debt,
government spending and income
taxes, for most of us “the economy” be-
gins at home.
According to Nancy Granovsky, a
family resource management specialist,
“the family remains the basic living
unit, and the basic economic unit in this
country.”
“In fact, recent research indicates
that economic status — including
poverty status — is largely dependent
on changes in family composition such
as divorce, marriage or remarriage, the
birth of children, children leaving home
and widowhood,” states Granovsky.
Cranovsky is one of several family
resource management specialists with
the Texas Agricultural Extension Ser-
vice who are concerned 'with assessing
and improving the economic well-being
of Texas families.
Assessing family economic status in-
volves research on income and poverty
status, consumer spending, credit use,
family savings patterns, economic
decision-making and other factors
related to the economic behavior of
families. These economic behaviors af-
fect the standard of living for Texas
families.
Many Texas families lack the time,
energy, or money to fulfill their expec-
tations for a desirable standard of
living, says Granovsky.
Other families have problems using
resources when those resources are sub-
ject to changing influences from within
or outside the family. The growth of
children into teenagers for example, the
sudden dependence of a relative, or a
change in family composition can alter
the family economy.
Outside factors such as the national
economic climate, inflation, and un
employment also have a dramatic effect
on available resources, she adds.
—Range & Field—
ECONOMY BEGINS AT HOME . . .
that is the reference made in the item
above. Not only the ECONOMY, but all
other factors regarding family life,
families, begin in the home. That in-
cludes the head of the household, the
mother and the father. Both father and
mother are indispensable, although this
is not always the case nor is that asser-
tion true, depending on circumstances,
incidents, etc. Nevertheless, in a recent
Sunday evening (8-14-83, 7 p.m.) radio
broadcast over WOAI, Dr. Norman
Vincent Peale on his Positive Thinking
network, said that MOTHERS have
something NO ONE ELSE HAS.
Mother was a guiding factor through-
out life. There was never a time when
her love, her devotion and interest, did
not manifest itself! She did not belong
to nor advocate the thing called ERA.
There is no substitute for a real mother.
Dr. Peale is a really wonderful, inspir-
ing, speaker. In that particular Sunday
evening broadcast he urged his listen-
ers to adopt the “AS IF” principle, “get
your mind geared up to new creative
ideas, be enthusiastic. Live as though
and AS IF everything is going well and
live AS IF the world will see the dawn
of better days, a more glorious life with
peace, freedom, human rights assured
for everyone, everywhere!
—Range & Field—
REGARDING ECONOMY . . . Presi-
dent Calvin Coolidge in a speech, 1923,
said: After order and liberty, economy
is one of the highest essentials of a
FREE GOVERNMENT!... Economy is
always a GUARANTEE OF PEACE!
—Range & Field—
HAVE-A-LAFF ... for a little bit of
humor, upgrade your ‘spirits’ and see if
the following is applicable: sign in a
loan company window: “NOW YOU
CAN BORROW ENOUGH MONEY TO
GET COMPLETELY OUT OF DEBT!”

Travels by
Rickie Tatsch
On my bus trip to Ari-
zona, I saw lots of inter-
esting scenery, and met
some interesting people.
For a while we were four
buses traveling toward
California, as it was close
to the Labor Day week-
end. And coming home
there were two — one
headed for Miami and the
other to Memphis. People
could ride all the way
across the continent for
$99. We saw lots of
mountains, and moun-
tains made from the cop-
per mining and smelting,
and lakes, especially Lake
Havasu, which has the
London Bridge as a
tourist attraction. The
McCulloughs of the Mc-
Cullough Chain Saw had
it brought over, brick by
brick. Frank Perry said he
helped with that trans-
portation.
There was a dark lady
named Raquel, and her
son, from El Paso who
was going to Ricks Col-
lege in Rexburg, Idaho,
with Russian, My an,
Spanish, and Dutch an-
cestry, talking across the
isle to a dark, blue-eyed
Russian in Spanish, al-
though he spoke six lang-
uages in all, including
German. He advised her
to learn the Russian lang-
uage, as it would soon be
one of the major lang-
uages.
Then leaving Phoenix,
there was another Rus-
sian-bom citizen on his
way to the Christianson
Winery in Napa Co., Cali-
fornia. John Kulikoff had
come from New Orleans,
and Louisville, Kentucky,
where they had a Volks-
march, Battle of 7 Oom-
pah Bands, etc., all her-
alding 300 years of Ger-
mans in America. Evelyn
Stealing confirmed this
bit of history, that in a
Continental Congress,
German failed by one
vote to become the offic-
ial language of the U.S.
And now we should learn
Russian.
Born in December of
1899, Johnny Kulikoff
became a trapeze artist at
19. He had run away from
home (Calif, and Ariz.) at
age 16. He had been all
over the world with the
circus and his perch acts
and trapeze. He was the
first to hoist ballet girls in
ballet lifts on ice. That is,
until his special partner
was killed in an auto acci-
dent in 1935 just before
they were to be married
and go on another Europ-
ean tour. Then he quit the
circus and never married.
In WWH he trained and
coached glider troops on
how to tumble out when
they had to jump.
