ON the Record
By BENNIE O’BRIEN
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
In The Reccffd’s letters column
this week there appears a thought-
provoking missive written by the
Rev. Clanton W. Newbill, pastor
of the Celina Presbyterian Church,
concerning universal military
training.
This is one of the things that
the preacher and the editor are
in agreement upon. There are a
lot of things that we are not of
like mind about—as a matter of
fact, the time comes ever once in
a while when it seems that our
viewpoints are a mile apart on al-
most everything, then up will pop
a question that we both have
strong convictions about—and we
happily find ourselves on the same
side!
Presbyterian preachers are the
most argufying set I have run up
against. Celina has had a goodly
number of Presbyterian preachers
since I started to work for The
Record back in 1930—and not one
of them would fail to give you a
good sound argument about nearly
anything under the sun, if you’d
just give him a chance.
A man who has strong convic-
tions about a question and who
can give plenty of reasons why he
is right is a lot better citizen than
the one who doesn’t believe any-
thing at all very strongly—or if
he does believe it, is afraid to voice
his belief because there’s a chance
of losing some business or making
somebody mad.
Public apathy is, to put it light-
ly, not doing this country any
good. Thirteen per cent of the
qualified voters in Texas voted in
the amendments' election early this
month. The law of this State is
our business. It affects us vitally,
in the pocketbook nerve and in a
lot of other places. If we are not
interested in our own business,
what ARE we interested in, any-
way?
&
Dr. Roy Blough, a member of
the President’s Council of Econom-
ic Advisors, upheld the silly idea
that taxes help to keep down in-
flation, at the National Tax Asso-
ciation Conference in Dallas
cently.
The theory is that if the govern-
ment takes my money away from
me I can’t use it to bid up prices
of goods that are in short supply.
It was recently shown that a
copy of a popular mazagine cost
the government about $15.00, aft-
er coht «£ procuring
the magazine had been added to
the price — which to the public is
50 cents.
Who’s bidding up what?

The Record got its first Christ-
mas card a few days' ago—from
Sgt. J. P. Loftice, with the armed
forces overseas. J. P. is a son of
Mr. and Mrs. Claud Loftice. His
address is 466th S.A.C.C., APO
239-1, care postmaster, San Fran-
cisco, Calif. We appreciate his

Lairs Find Red Hen
Is An Expensive Dish
Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Lair prfb-
ably had baked hen for dinner at
their home north of Celina Wed-
nesday-—but the hen was about as
expensive as pheasant would have
been.
Mr. and Mrs. Lair were return-
ing in their car from Dallas Tues-
day, pulling a trailer-load of drain-
age tile, when a big red hen at-
tempted to fly across the road in
front of them. Her timing was off,
however, and she met a sad end
against the right windshield of the
Lair car, breaking the glass into
a thousand pieces. Fortunately, it
was shatterproof glass, and held
together, otherwise Mrs. Lair
might have been cut by flying
glass particles.
Afterward, a peek into the rear-
view mirror disclosed the unlucky
hen hanging from the trailer end-
gate, from which .place she soon
fell off into the trailer bed, and
rode on home with the Lairs.
The tile in the trailer is to be
used to drain a new grade-A dairy
barn almost complete on the Lair
farm. The barn, size 26 by 50 feet,
will be ready for use next week.
Mr. and Mrs. Lair now have 31
Jerseys in their herd.

Vox Populi
OPPOSES U. M. T.
To The Record:
I wish to express my convictions
regarding an issue which is likely
to come up at the next session of
Congress, and which affects all
U. S. citizens—universal military
training.
In regard to UMT, it seems to
me that there are certain facts
which are either overlooked or
ignored by its adherents. I agree
that there must of necessity be
some form of conscription during
these trying times. However, it is
my opinion that UMT will create
more problems than it will solve,
and in the long run be-a danger to
our much cherished democracy
which can not easily be put aside
or overcome. This danger stems
first of all from the fact that a
UMT law would place in the hands
of the military the power of allo-
cation of manpower. Almost inva-
riably, when such power has been
given the military in other coun-
tries, it has been abused. Dictator-
ships arise when the power of the
military exceeds that of civil au-
thority. Furthermore, when the
military has power to allocate
manpower for military purposes,
it is but a step toward power to
allocate manpower in civilian en-
terprise and pursuits. There is the
further likelihood of utilizing that
power to force military training
upon the women of America.
We must remember that men
like General Eisenhower are hard
to come by in military circles.
Most professional military men
are arrogant, power-hungry asses.
For every Eisenhower, there are
at least a dozen aspiring Francos
in the military. And great will be
our distress if one of the latter
gets the power of UMT in his
hands. We must also remember the
extravagant wastes of the armed
services. Once they have become
firmly entrenched in power as a
result of UMT, they will go “hog-
wild” with their spending and
wasting of America’s tax dollars.
Even in times of plenary or rela-
tive peace, the top brass’ notorious
lack of knowledge of and care for
the economic life of the American
people would be manifest and in-
jurious to our economic welfare.
Finally, there is the morale of the
American people to be considered.
In addition to probable economic
distress, I do not believe that par-
ents and children can maintain a
high morale (Switzerland notwith-
standing) when they live constant-
ly in the knowledge that when
youngsters, reach a certain age
they must be placed in uniform,
peace or no peace, and/or regi-
mented in other ways.
In short, UMT is a delusion and
a snare. It leads to militarism,
which in turn leads to totalitarian-
ism with its curtailment and ab-
rogation of the liberties and free-
dom which are the foundation
stones of this great country. The
dangers inherent in UMT far out-
weigh its advantages.

Casually Yours
CHS, this year, is a color pa-
rade, with everyone sporting the
loudest and brightest colors he
can find. The girls’ bright skirts
and colored blouses shine in halls
along with the girls’ flashy-look-
ing weskits.
The boys are sporting dress
shoes, slacks and sport shirts. The
girls like the idea of the boys
wearing slacks to school and only
wish that more of them would do
it. , ,
The classic white blouses are al-
most disappearing in comparison
with previous years. Jersey
blouses, sweaters and bright cot-
ton blouses are making a name for
themselves quickly.

EDITORIAL
A Recreational Center.
The young people in Celina sure-
ly need a recreational center, just
a place where they can get togeth-
er and play records and dance. Is
that very much to ask? Parents
ask why we go out of town so
much. They complain because we
are out on the highways at night.
We feel as they do. We don’t
especially care about going off
somewhere else. We just want
something to do besides see our
local movie. Don’t misunderstand
me—we are truly proud of our
movie. Stop and think a minute.
Don’t you think the children would
like to do something else also? A
skating rink, for instance, would
provide much enjoyment for all,
and as I said before, a place to
sing, dance, play games, or just
be together would make us truly
happy. SUE GEARHART.
