It's difficult...
but rewarding!
“The Lord b my strength
and my song, and be has
become my salvation.” * Ex-
odus 15:2.
Happy birthday to Joe
Heinold, Robert Cox, Rob
Watson and Mary Lou Ruiz,
Sunday, the 6th; Randall
Arndt, Michael Rabe, Pat
Olson and J.B. Henry, on
Monday and to Tracy
Mueller, Christy Heinold,
Doris Koehler, Jane
Wehlmann and Lee Tucker,
Tuesday, the 8th. Happy an-
niversary wishes to Ted and
Frances Lewton, Sunday and
to Mr. and Mrs. Michael
Sheppard, also on Sunday.
My thoughts and my
prayers to Virginia Lewis, a
patient in Citizens in Vic-
toria. My wife says Virginia
is the only one who can keep
me in line. Get well, Virginia.
If family members really
expressed how they felt,
more inlaws would be
outlaws.
It’s difficult...But rewar-
ding!
To believe when others are
doubting
To work when others are
dreaming
To care when others are
neglecting
To give
grasping
when others are
To forgive when others are
condemning
To smile when others are
complaining
To praise when others, are
criticizing
To build when others are
destroying
To risk when others are
hesitating
To serve when dthers are
demanding
To persist when others are
quitting.
Young Michael Perez has
been moved to a private
room in Citizens and he still
needs your cards, letters and
visits because the long road
to recovery has just begun.
It’s not the ups and downs
that bother the average man.
More often than not it’s the
jerks.
A restaurant in Canada
urges patrons to “Dine
American-style”. It features
a hot fudge sundae and a diet
soda.
Believe me when I say
(sincerely) there are an awful
lot of people who really need
your hugs and a kind word or
two. Recent weeks have seen
a lot of personal tragedies
and sometimes a hug is the
best medicine one can give.

Talking better
than Cold War
Although there does not appear to be
much kinship between disarmament and
economic development, at least as topics
of international discussion, the U.N.
Security Council could do worse than
agree to Soviet leader Mikhail Gor-
bachev’s proposal to summit on those
subjects.
However, the United States, as one of
15 members of the council, rejected the
Soviet proposal, describing it as “flawed
and untenable” and repeated the U.S.
position that there is no link between
disarmament and economic develop-
ment. If not, one could be developed to
the advantage of both nations.
There have been periodic reports for
several months that Gorbachev might
visit the United Nations to address the
General Assembly’s 42nd session which
convenes Sept. 157
Gorbachev said in his message to the
council that he believes it would be
useful to discuss in principle problems of
disarmament and economic develop-
ment at a special meeting of top leaders
of member slates of the Security Coun-
cil. Discussion is always more profitable
for both sides than cold war.
U.N. officials fear such a comcrence
would serve as a vehicle for propaganda
attack against the industrialized world’s
defense spending as the primary cause of
.. Third World economic problems.
Among - Gorbachev’s proposals was
one that calls for creation of an interna-
tional fund into which the savings from
reduced armaments Would be distributed
to developing countries.
It would be an enlightening experience
for members of the U.N. Security Coun-
cil to exchange ideas with the Soviet
leader, even if some of his ideas are
motivated by a desire to achieve a pro-
; paganda advantage. Not too many peo-
ple over the world are fooled by pro-
paganda.
Accord near on
arms proposal?
As it has been several times before in
matters of mutual importance to the
United States and the Soviet Union, the
ball is now in Soviet leader Mikhail Gor-
bachev’s court on the question of disar-
mament.
President Reagan is understandably
optimistic about future developments
after West German Chancellor Hulmut
Kohl decided to dismantle 72 Pershing
1A missiles in his country as a first step
toward a long-discussed reduction in
such weapons by the U.S. and Soviet
Union.
Reacting to Kohl’s announcement in
Bonn, the White House issued a brief
statement backing the decision and reaf-
firming an earlier U.S. agreement to ac-
cept fewer on-site inspections of nuclear
weapons sites.
However, President Reagan reiterated
previous statements that several impor-
tant issues remain to be worked out
before an agreement on mutual
dismantling of missiles can be reached.
Expressing cautious optimism that a
long-sought arms control agreement
with the Soviet Union may be near, the
president challenged Gorbachev to make
public the Soviet military budget,
publicize the size and nature of his arm-
ed forces and open for debate in the
Supreme Soviet the larger issues of
military policy and weapons.
There has been some relaxation of
tight governmental control of just about
every facet of the government under
Gorbachev, but the advent of
“glasnost” (openness) apparently has
been a carefully orchestrated plan .vith
very narrow limitations.
It would indeed be a great surprise,
especially to those who have spent years
studying the communist government of.
. Russia, if Gorbachev bowed to Presi-
dent Reagan’s request to bare some of
the government’s military secrets.
Congress needs
to change tack
The Democrat-controlled Congress is
not convinced that America should get
behind Nicaraguan rebels, the only force
that stands between the captive
Nicaraguan people and a complete com-
munist takeover.
Although a defacto communist
government now rules Nicaragua, it can-
not extend its influence into other Cen-
tral American nations because of con-
tinuous harassment by rebels, or con-
tras, who need all the help they can get
in their efforts to contain the spread of
communism.
If Congress rejects President Reagan’s
request for more money to help the
rebels later this year, it will do so at
grave risk. The Soviet Union’s grand
design is to establish an operating base
in Central America from which the com-
munist doctrine can be exported.
A communist enclave already exists 90
miles off the Florida coast, where Cuban
dictator Fidel Castro devotes much of
his time trying to spread communism.
He is known to be a willing tool of the
Soviets in Nicaragua.
The Contras are fast becoming an ef-
fective fighting force in the six-year
guerrilla war in Nicaragua. For the first
time they are slowing operations of the
country’s Marxist Sandinista govern-
ment headed by dedicated communist
Daniel Ortega.
While rank-and-file Nicaraguans are
not supportive of the Sandinistas, they
are kept in check by harsh communist
oppression. Because of disorganization
of opposing forces, the Sandinistas seiz-
ed control after the 1979 revolution that
overthrew the Somoza regime, which
had ruled a- * dictatorship.
Widespread retribution is being
visited by the Sandinista government
upon citizens in areas where the Contras
are stronger.
Central America
ripe for peace?
The way of the peacemaker is always
hard.
There are political forces at work in-
side the governments of the United
States and Nicaragua that are impeding
and could block approval of a blueprint
for peace in Central America.
In supporting the proposed peace
plan. President Reagan has to contend
with conservatives, some of them
, unreasonable, who harbor deep distrust
of any proposal that communist-
dominated Nicaragua has anything to do
with.
There is a similar faction within the
.Nicaraguan government, known as
hard-line left-wingers, who are also op-
posing the peace plan. These people fear
the Sandinista government would be
forced to alter its course and they would
lose influence. For that reason among
others, the opposition favors only a
solution imposed by military force.
Likewise, the right wingers who are
opposing the peace plan and President
Reagan seek only a military remedy,
■rhirh the U.S. cannfft afford to under-
take.
