What we need are some rules for determining
whether or not there can be a war: Rule 1:
Revive Will Rogers' rule: No country can go to
war until they have paid for their last one That
could be expanded to say no weapon could be us-
ed until it is paid for in cash.
Rule 2: The U.S. does not have to come to the
aid of any ally until said ally has been grateful
for the last time we came
Rule 3: There once was a railroad law which
said. When two trains meet at an intersection,
neither shall proceed until the other has passed "
This does not make sense, of course, but if some
rule like that could be written at least it would
slow them down while they figured it out
Rule 4: The United States gets to sit out every
third war We have had our share. The ideal
situation would be if they gave a war and nobody
came The next to the ideal situation would be if
they gave a war and we did not come Some day.
hopefully in my lifetime, I want us to get the
chance to be spectators to a war Maybe this is
our chance. We could just sav to England and
Argentina...You folks go ahead, we will sit this
one out.

The Falkland Islands
Isn't it just like us humans: sure as the world
we will go to war over some island no one ever
heard of. By gum. I want to know if the place is
worth fighting over So far, I am not sure anyone
knows the name of the place. Some call them the
Falklands, some call them the Malvinas or some
other weird name no one has heard of.
Whatever they are called, Argentina took them
over from England. England feels like they stole
them fair and square so they should be their s.
Argentina thinks it is about time they started a
ruckus in the world. They are one of the so called
emerging nations of our world. Emerging means
they too, can get modern and have themselves a
war just like everyone else.
I find it a little strange, even weird to consider
the lands we are fighting over in the world. Israel
is a rock pile. A small rock pile at that. The strip
of land now being transferred would not make a
decent farm in West Texas. Now, we are to fight
over some land off the coast of Argentina?
Why don't we just go buy the places’ It would
be cheaper than war. Then we could have
another run for land like they did in Oklahoma
That would be fun. At least it would be more fun
than war.

A perusal of a complete copy of the Hereford Brand and
its regular weekly issue will show that the paper enjoys
the correspondence of a greater number of« ommunities
than any other publication of a similar character known,
making the Brand the subject of envy of every other week-
ly or daily publication over the Panhandle
Without an opposition ticket and facing one of the most
critical years of its history, the Hereford Independent
school district school board was re-elected last Saturday
by one of the largest votes ever polled here Ninety-four
ballots were cast, and the straight ticket as suggested to
re-elect the former members was voted solidly, with one
exception, one candidate receiving but 93 votes to the
other 94

Oil play, spurred by rumors, has brought a fresh rush of
cash and talk to Deaf Smith County in the past week
Most of the nation's major oil companies have had
brokers in the Hereford area seeking to buy leases or

An expansion program with a possible $600,000 price tag
was considered Tuesday evening by trustees of the
Hereford school district Action on employment of a new
football coach was postponed until next Tuesday after-
noon.

The city of Hereford last week sent out its first series of
300 letters to city residents warning them action will be
taken to remove junk vehicles from both city property and
private property
Senator Wayne Connelly on a campaign stop here
Thursday, said the main campaign issues in the race for
Lieutenant Governor's office this year is to find a man
who is going to dedicate himself to the problems instead of
being a part of those problems

In a race against time, computer sleuths from coast to

Dear Editor.
The parents, teachers, PTO
and Paper Drive < ommittee
of St Anthony 's School want
to thank our community for
their support and effort in

cessful. We especially ap-
preciate Mr George Warner,
who so graciously donates the
transportation to Amarillo,
and North Plains Printing.

donations
Hereford has once again
responded to a local need

We will continue our paper

As utsiders outsmart us
and beat us at ur own game
During the last three mon-
ths through February the
compounded annual rate of
inflation as measured by the
Consumer Price Index was
3.7 percent.
Unemployment will trend
downward through 1983. In-
flation. which has alreadv
come down, is going to stay
down-a reality that has forc-
ed the gloom merchants into
all kinds of embarrassing
contortions as they now try to
claim, well. that slower price
increases are really a pro-
blem I realize we are a
nostalgic people, but I can't
imagine anyone looking back
fondly at the . id old days of
1980 when consumer prices
increased more than 12 per-
cent
Interest rates have come
down in recent months as
well, and they will continue to
drop throughout this year
And. we even have indica-
tions that the deficit for fiscal
1982 may be far less than
anyone had predicted, in-
cluding the administration
In fact, the Treasury Depart-
ment is simply aghast to find
that so far this year personal
and corporate tax collections
are running far above
anyone's forecasts Who says
supply side economics
doesn't work’
But here is the real irony
If the doom peddlers would
start looking at the facts in-
stead of tea leaves, my
in some parts of the
We are fortunate.
As the fuel famine
moderates and the traditional
American appetite for
bigness manifests itself
again, will Detroit be
So day after tomorrow,
you'll be seeing more so-
called American manufac-
turers go the way of
Studebaker and Packard and
Nash and scores of others
which are no more
forec ast could be even rosier
it is their collective and con-
tagious despair that is keep-
ing financial markets unsettl-
ed and interest rates at total-
ly unjustified levels
Eventually economic
reality-namely low inflation,
some growth, and higher
savings-will drive those
rates down Yet if President
Reagan's conservative coali-
tion in the House and Senate
could get their wits about
them, get behind his program
and make it clear we are on
this course to stay, interest
rates would come down fast
I know this kind of pro-
gnosis is a rare animal, so let
me summarize it very clear-
ly From January through
March we suffered the worst
of the recession From April
through December. we will
begin a healthy recovery.
Unemployment and interest
rates will drop Saving and in-
vestment as well as big-ticket
consumer purchases will
surge And best of all. this
will happen while inflation
continues to recede further

For these reasons, and
others, the Brucellosis
Evaluation Committee made
two recommendations
One, research at Texas
A & M should continue to
try to find a better vaccine.
The vaccine now in use
makes some cows that have
been vaccinated show up as
reactors.
Two. the Animal Health
Commission should pro-
mote vaccination It should

cination. and it should try

were already in place before
the worst of the recession hit
us. Now, the worst is behind
us. The economic news is get-

tinue to get better every week
for at least the next two
years. For example
Retail sales in February
were up 1.6 percent from
January
The industrial production
index increased in February
by 1.6 percent-the first in-
crease since July 1981
The establishment employ-
ment senes indicated that in
February private sector jobs
increased by 135.900 This
more than offset a decline
that month of 38,000 public
sector jobs
