The Senator pointed out that
"defense was cut over S~ billion
in budget authority by the

stance of the Congressional
Budget Office and other con-

have brought the defense

giver, a grant to an organua*K»n
for the purpose of finding
organizations to be given
government grants. Although
the story is unconfirmed we
suspect that it is probably true.
But we do have a confirmed
story from Associated F*ress that
a contract has been given to a
West-coast electronics firm to
fashion three bear collars with
attached radio transmitters The
beasts to be bugged are Alaskan
Polar Bears. The three collars
are to cost you. via Uncle Sam,
S52.000. And the purpose of the
project :s to find out if the
Aiaskar. Fhpehr.e will adversely
affect thw walking habits of the
bears.
Of course, the S52.000 for the
battery -operated collars doesn t
•ate into consideration all of the
additional expense that will be
borne by the government during
the year the radios continue to
operate. We can't even begin to
imagine what it is going to cost
to fly people up to Alaska to put
the collars around the necks of
the bears, or to account for the
hordes of paper-pushers and
reper filers who will keep track
of the bears' mean derings on a
day-to-day basis.
We doubt very much that the
Alaskan Pipeline will have the
slightest effect on the walking
habits of Polar Bears. From
what we have observed (at a
cost of less than S52.000), the
four-legged bears have much
more emotional stability than
the two-legged environmen-
talists.

Naval recruiter chief Petty
Officer Smith talked to senior
boys Tuesday, February 3, in
the ( MS auditorium.
... It happened on February
12. 1809, on a farm near
Hodgenville, Kentucky, when
one of the world’s truly great
men, Abraham Lincoln, was
born.
Fifty-one years later he was
elected the 16th President of the
United State and under his
leadership, the American Union
was preserved.
War made President Lincoln
believe more strongly that
democracy is the best of all
forms of government. In his
Gettysburg Address, and in
other speeches and writings.
President Lincoln expressed the
deepest beliefs of the American
people.
Lincoln had great power as
President, but he never lost
touch with the common people.
In spite of Lincoln's high
position, millions of people,
even in his own time, knew him
as "Honest Abe” and "Father
Abraham."
. . . "The Father of His
Country," George Washington,
won a lasting place in American
history. For nearly 20 years, he
guided his country much as a
father cares for a grow ing child.
The first president of the
United States, Washington was
loved by the people of his day.
From the Revolutionary War on.
his birthday was celebrated
each year throughout the
country.
One of Washington's officers.
Henry "Light Horse Harry”
Lee. summed up the wav
Americans felt and still feel
about Washington: "First in
war. first in peace, and first in
the hearts of his countrymen.”
