Nose Dive For Happiness
Your dollar will probably buy a little
less next year than the planner planned
It is reported that even with the 10 pei
cent tax surcharge and $6 billion reduc-
tion in spending demanded by Congress,
the federal deficit for fiscal 1968 will
be around $25 billion — $5 billion more
than expected. Delay in passing the tax
increase and higher Viet Nam war costs
are blamed.
The red ink outlook would be a good
deal less grim if our public officials
could do a bit better in figuring out wha:
we don’t need. Many unbelievable pro-
jects pop to the surface of the federal
budget and another one is reported by
the Clarkton, North Carolina, Times. It
seems the U.S. Public Health Service,
as part of a $249,000 research pro-
gram, “...has been sending psychologists
and social scientists down to Puerto
Rico to ask its citizens what causes them
joy or sorrow.” It is not surprising that
they discovered people were happier if
they were healthy, had money, were
educated and were young!
The Times suggests that if a research
project were done in the U.S. it would
be found that the taxpayer’s “....hap-
piness quotient takes a nose dive every-
time he hears about some of the peculiar
ways his money is being spent these
days.”
Bringing Space Down To Earth
Billions of dollars have gone toward
space exploration. But many hard-press-
ed taxpayers wonder if the game is worth
the candle. A leading businessman and
engineer, Willard F. Rockwell, Jr., spoke
an encouraging word on the subject during
an Address to a group of engineering
students.
He pointed out that many of the most
productive forces in today’s engineering
world have to do with the aerospace in-
dustry and the industrial complexes sur-
rounding it. He said, “Many of these in-
dustrial complexes were originally con-
ceived as suppliers of weapons systems,
but now are expanding into fields of
public service.” The expanding interests
of the aerospace industry are virtually
limitless. Rockwell tells how it con-
tributes toward the solution of pressing
socioeconomic problems in nine main
fields. These are management of en-
vironmental resources, information sys-
tems, logistics, materials applications,
medicine, oceanology, power generation,
transportation, and urban affairs. He
notes that his company, which is deeply
involved in utilizing aerospace tech-
nology in commercial manufacturing, is
working in eight of the nine main fields.
For example, his company is studying
the development of food for lunar
colonists through photosynthesis. As a
by-product of this study, the company
space division is operating a pilot plant
to recondition sewer water for industrial
and irrigation uses, and at the same time
converts wast food into poultry mash.
As Rockwell makes eminently clear,
today’s engineers and scientists are cap-
italizing to the benefit of all of us on the
exotic technology that surrounds the
space effort.

SOGGY STATE
streciglit Y taZk
By Tom Anderson
“Burn, baby, burn!” is the slogan of the
anarchists. Communists, insurrectionists and
criminals intent on destroying our country.
If we face civil war in the streets what can you
do to protect yourself, family, and home?
(Your government, using your taxes, is
through the federal Office of Economic Oppor-
tunity—called the “Poverty Program”—finan-
cing and training revolutionaries to take over
our country. So a good citizen who depends
entirely on government to protect his interests
is being very foolish.)
What can you do? The “American Civilian
Defense Committee,” a private, patriotic or-
ganization, spells it out for you this way: “We
may have massive riots all over America in
1968—or—the Administration may decide to
turn off the riots” until after the election as
they did in 1964.
“In either case, like good boy scouts, it is
much better to be prepared, thus minimizing
loss of your life or property. During riot or
revolution, police have their hands full to con-
trol and halt concentrated devastation, and do
not have time for roving bands of arsonists,
snipers, and terrorists in outlaying areas. It’s
fantastic, but as any informed citizen knows,
the basic policy of the people controlling our
government is to ‘gradually’ turn us over to the
(Communist controlled) United Nations and
then ‘police’ the U.S.A. with foreign troops.
American troops (as planned) are safely half
way around the world—remember? So, obvi-
ously you’d better not count on them! A
neighborhood defense group, either trained or
at least knowledgeable as to what to do in an
emergency is most comforting. What is more
frightening than a band of murderers and
rapists and No Police who can be called? You
are on your own! During the Watts riots,
roving bands ranged out over 50 miles from
the riot center. This is an old Commie terror
tactic-—but—if you are organized, they will
very likely move on to less prepared victims.
The Watts riots stopped, when the decent
citizens became armed to defend themselves
and their property. In Florida the crime rate
dropped almost in half when local housewives
by the hundreds took target shooting courses
from local police.
“In all countries taken over by the Reds or
other dictators, it is after law abiding citizens
are required to list or register their guns so
they can be picked up at a later date. The
criminals and Commies always keep their fire-
arms. How will you protect yourself, your
family, your property, if you allow this to
LEARN TO PROTECT YOURSELF
happen? The U.S. Constitution guarantees
your right to protect yourself by bearing arms,
but of late, anti-Americans in our government
are writing illegal edicts, pawned off as laws,
in violation of our Constitution. Any loyal
American in these perilous times would be a
fool to ever list his guns and leave his family
defenseless. The citizens of America own more
guns than the combined armies of the world,
and America can never be taken over unless
a central government can find out where they
are and take them. (Get the message??—The
real reason why the Reds are so frantically
anxious to put through gun legislation.)
What You Can Do
WASHINGTON COMMENTS
Endorsement
BY U.S. SENATOR JOHN TOWER
I wish to announce today that I believe Richard
Nixon is the man best qualified by knowledge, ex-
perience and judgment to be the next president of
the United States.
I, therefore, consider it a moral obligation on my
part to do all I can to secure his nomination and
election.
As you know, the Texas Republican State Con-
vention formally instructed our 56-member dele-
gation to support me as a presidential favorite
son. I was honored to be accorded the favorite-
son designation, and I will honor my responsibilities
under it. Any alteration of this posture by the Texas
delegation will be determined by a majority of our
delegates in caucus at Miami. I will urge the in-
dividual delegates at that time to support Mr. Nixon.
The Republican campaign has in recent weeks pol-
arized around the two announced candidates. And,
in view of the intensive campaigning now going on,
I find it incumbent on me to announce a choice. It is
my opinion that a majority of the people of Texas
think Dick Nixon should be president.
I believe Dick Nixon, with the help of all Americans
can :
— end the war and win the peace in Vietnam.
— enforce the laws we all have a part in enacting.
— revitalize our national defense capabilities and
restore our strategic superiority which so effectively
preserved world order during the peaceful Eisen-
hower-Nixon years.
— infuse the power of free-enterprise capital into
our deteriorating city neighborhoods, creating jobs,
housing and education.
— halt spiraling, dollar-robbing inflation and re-
store both domestic and foreign confidence in Ameri-
ca’s economy.
And most important, I believe Dick Nixon will
provide the change from Democratic crisis, crime
and chaos which Americans demand, restoring lead-
ership to our presidency, order to our country and
progress for our people.
“1. Start Educating Yourself On: Protective
Home Measures; The Use of Firearms; First
Aid; What the real reason is behind the riots
and revolution; Look at TV and read your
magazines and newspapers with intelligence—
Think—Do they lie, distort or leave out news?
Do they promote filth, evil, violence, destruc-
tion and lowering of morals? Commies learned
long ago to buy up and control opinion-mould-
ing media and turn them to their own uses.
Are you getting exactly what they want to
have you see and hear? Get smart—quick!

“2. Inform your neighbors on the need for
a protective group. Know your neighbor’s
background and beliefs, he may be invaluable
to help you in an emergency, but if he con-
stantly obstructs you, do not include him in
your plans. Organize your defense or patrol
group with only good citizens whom you trust.
If you can’t get a dozen neighbors now, try 4,
or 3, or 2; don’t give up! (Just remember,
they’ll all flock to you when the trouble starts.)
Just constitute yourself a Committee of One
and take the steps suggested in forthcoming

The Cracker Barrel

Eagle Rock—If I were Earl Warren, I’d stand
on my record—to keep people from examining
it.
A girl can look both virtuous and tremend-
ously exciting—if she also looks like she has
to put up a constant fight to do it.
If you still have your tonsils and appendix
after the age of 30, the chances are you’re a
doctor.
The perfect wife knows when her husband
wants to be forced to do something against
his will.
A good listener is usually thinking about
something else.
When the only gleam in your eye is caused
by the sun hitting your bifocals, you’re about
to give up.
In marriage, a woman gives the best years of
her life. In a happy marriage, she gives them
to the man who made them the best.
You can always tell a little town from a
little city. The motorists slow up for the peo-
ple.
It takes toreador pants to show when a girl
is broad shouldered—all the way down.

We’ve got a cute new puppy at our house.
His mother was a champion poodle and his
father was a leash law violator.

While you’re waiting for the right girl to
come along, you can have quite a ball with the
others.

Too many people who have passed their
driving tests think they can pass anything.
The reason that God made woman last is
that He didn’t want any advice while creating
man.
The Red Chinese never seem to get all they
want—or all that they deserve.—American
