The classical deílnitlon of liberalism is
grossly distorted in the belief of many of
the new-style liberals that government is
the friend and protector of the people.
Mr. James H. Lorie, Professor of Bus-
iness Administration at the University of
Chicago, takes exception to the new libe-
ralism; 'The Constitution of the United
States was based in part on the belief that
people needed protection...from the govern-
ment, and th .t free, competitive enterprise
was the most efficient engine for promoting
the public good....the intellectual climate of
this country placed the burden of proof for
the necessity of interference with the mar-
ket process on those who would interfere,
interference was presumed to be an error
unless an overwhelming case could be made
for it. In the present intellectual climate,
the reverse is probably true-.jctions by
the government to regulate business are
presumed to be beneficent and the burden
of proof is on those who oppose."
The Professor then compares the tender
concern of government for the consumer to
the Boy Scout who came to a scout meeting
with a black eye. The scout explained that
he had tried to help a little old lady across
the street. "How in the world," asked the
scoutmaster, "could you get a black eye
doing that?" He replied, "She didn't want
to go. ' It could be that the people do not
wish to go where the new liberals are lead-
ing them.
How Big Is Drug Abuse?
Why do so many tennagers try d -ugs as a
runout from reality? From Hoboken to Ho-
nolulu kids and many who are no longer kids
are sniffing gtue for kicks, smoking mari-
juana, even experimenting with more dange-
rous dr'jgs. Every morning across the na-
tion thousands of narcotic addicts wake up
with a common craving-to get enough il-
legal drugs so they can hang on through the
day.
How big is drug abuse? No one can es-
timate how many people misuse drugt. to-
day.
The director of the Americn Social
Health Association's national program in
drug dependence and abuse. Dr. Charles
Winick, believes the number runs Into the
millions.
"The problem of durg abuse is one of
the nation's costliest social p-oblems-and
continues to spread," he says. "One-
shot lectures are not enough to combat it.
The urgent need is fir research on drug use
and abuse.
"We need to know more about why so
many persons are adopting the 'tune-in,
turn-on, and drop-out' philosophy.
"We need ep'Jemiolcsical studies in com-
munit'es to determine who and where the
drug dependence persons are."
Citizens who want tc help stamp out drug
abuse may write to the American Social
Health Association, 1740 Broadway, New
York City, to find out what to do.
Grassroots Opinion
LOVINGTON, N.M. , LEADER; "...property
rights are not too popular at the moment.
They seem to have been set aside in favor
of the euphemistic 'human rights.' Lost in
the sound and fury is the sobering truth that
so-called human rights are worthless with-
out corresponding property rights. Western
society has 'ong held that a man is entitled
to the produce of his labor. This labor,
whether it be manual or mental, Is of value
only when exchanged for some material thing,
i. e., some property. Property is nothing
less than an extension of a person's being."
NANTUCKET, MASS., INQUIRER AND MIR-
ROR; "It would be i\: order for the press to
start publicizing the activities of the law-
abiding citizen as well as the law-defying
ones. In this year of political strife, per-
haps the nsplr'.ig candidates for office may
realize that the best support they could
desire comes from the people of this country
to whom 'law and order' mean just what
they represent."

Swine production in Chero-
kee County seems tobe some-
what on the upswing. A few
new growers are setting up
sow and pig operations in the
County; and there are at least
a couple of producers In the
County with 400 to 500 pigs
on feed at the present time.
Also a feed company repre-
sentative was by the office
recently and said he hopes
to hold a swine shortcourse
in the County sometime in
July. Indications are that
some of the other East Texas
Counties are also increasing
some in hog production.
Texas has been a deficit
pork producing state for
many years, so the market
is here. It's just a matter
of whether we can compete
with the areas that produce
the feed. Previously It's been
pretty difficult. This question
of economy of production
needs seriou consideration.
Dr. Donald B. Hudman, Ex-
tension swine specialist at
Texas AfcM University says
that the number of pigs wean-
ed per sow is one of the
more important considera-
tions. An average of nine
pigs weaned per litter is a
rca'istlc and profitable goal.
He also points out that mar-
ket hogs should weigh 200
pound? at 154 days of age
for economical production;
and not more than 375 lbs.
of feed should be required
per 100 pounds gain includ-
ing the sows. He says 90 per
cent of the markethogs should
grade "Number One".
My observations have been
that for our area that there
are three very important con-
sideration that hog producers
need to pay a lot of atten-
tion to. These are quality
hogs, sanitation, and enough
records to give a true pic-
ture of the economic: of the
ope ration.
Two final educational meet-
ings were held last week in
Cherokee County to hear dis-
cussions relating to the
Brucellosis Testing program.
These meetings in Rusk and
Jacksonville with attendance
of some 60 and 150 respec-
tively. These educational
meetings were sponsored by
the Cherokee County Llve-
stockmen's Association to
help producers In the Coun-
ty get a clear understanding
of the program. Producers
were designated in each com-
munity to act as line-up men
to help group cattle for test-
Irg by neighborhood groups.
This will help speed up test-
ing since the veterinarian or
testing crew member w ll
hopefully have a daj's work
when he goes Into a com-
munity. Roy Kennedy, Llve-
stockmen's Association Dir-
ector from Rusk, presided at
the Rusk meeting and Bill
Avera, Association director,
from Jacksonville, presided
at that meeting.
A temporary testing lab-
oratory has been set up In
the National Guard Armory
at Rusk pending moving in a
pcrtable iab around the mid-
dle of July. You may make
arrangements for having your
cattle tested by calling your
veterinarian or the testing
lab. The lab telephone num-
ber In Rusk is 683-5481.
Dr. H. Q. Sibley, Area Vet-
erinarian In charge of testing
in the area, says he found
the Interest and attitude of
producers in Cherokee County
to be excellent and says that
testing is getting off to a real
good start, and predicts that
we will be through in record
time If this fine cooperation
Many, many calls continue
to come in concerning troub-
le in St. Augustine lawns.
Fading-out disease seems to
be the main problem. Sym-
ptoms are about the same as
for chinch bugs—that is yel-
lowing and dyln^ of leaves ai
stems of the grass. If thi:
is happening in your lawn,
check for chinch bugs. If none
are present, then the chances
are good that it is "Faiding-
out" disease. Fungicides con-
taining Maneb are recom-
mended for control along with
elimination of thatch (layer
of accumulated dlipplngs) and
proper watering. Three or
four treatments at 7 day in-
tervals may be necessary.
Fading-our disease is dis-
tinguished from brown patch
disease in that it usually oc-
curs In hot weather and both
leaves and stems die;
whereas, brown patch usually
occurs In cool weather and
the leaves die and drop off,
but the stems remain green.
If chinch bugs are present,
Trlthlon, Etfrion, or Diazlnon
are recommended.

ATTEND CHURCH SUNDAY
NET
One of the definitions for
a net is a trap or a snare.
A net is used to catch a
fish. There are times in
every man's life when, like
Job, he ieels that God has
trapped him in a net. Job 19:6
reads, "Know now that God
hath overthrown me, and hath
compassed me with his net."
But our troubles and afflictions
are never caused by our God. More-
over, His Word says He is ever faith-
fut to deliver His people. The Psalmist
asserts: "Mine eyes are ever toward
the Lordt for he shall pluck my feet out
of the net."
How wonderful are His promises. These
promises are proclaimed from the pulpit by
your pastor each week for the blessing and
edifying of God's people. Won't you attend
church this week and parta|ce of this blessing?
