U.S.' Air Force (ret.) a Sort of Journal • • • GALLIPOLIS -Somehow this seems the proper day to collect my thoughts regarding Lt. William Calley and My Lai. The evidence on the affair has been presented, the case has gont to a military jury and, as of now, no verdict or penalty has emerged. First, my very heart and mind and profound sympathy are directed to the six Army officers who've drawn the most grievous, abhorrent appointment conceivable: the passing of dire judgement on a comrade-in-arms for performing his duty as he understood it in a complicated, perplexing, frustrating, combat situation; and whatever their decision it will be unjust .... and they know it. For the jurors are educated, experienced, battle-tested soldiers who surely know war is inherently unjust in a civilized society and it is axiomatic that justice cannot derive from injustice. These past months I've discussed My Lai with friends, re Ia lives, acquain lances, strangers; listened interminably to broadcasts and panel discussions, and read a hundred magazine and news articles about the alleged atrocity. My deepest impression from all this has been: in the main, these people had not the vaguest authentic notion of what they were talking about. They spoke of rules and codes and honor and decency and 'our boys'' and the 'dirty Reds.' Which is pure hogwash- sheer fantasy. Such went out with King Arthur, if he ever existed. War is not a gentlemanly golf match, or a baseball game with stern, skilled umpires to govern it: it has no respect for culture or humanity. Was it cultural respect which dictated the destruction of Monte Cassino? Was it humane to obliterate Dresden where an estimated 200,000 refugees perished? A well-trained combat man has one cardinal precept to observe: to kill, wound, injure, or capture as many WEATHER REPORT Mostly cloudy, a little warmer Sunday; chance of showers Sunday.

A field commander, be he corporal or general, has one additional primary responsibility: to plan, order, and direct his force in the most efficient and expeditious manner possible, including reduction of all hazards to his command to the very minimum. Anything less and he is guilty of dereliction. It has always been thus : Alexander, Caesar, the Crusaders, Cromwell, ad infinitum. In principal, nothing is new in war but the weapons. In 1943 the Air Corps and RAF had been blasting the Luftwaffe airfields near Athens, Greece, quite regularly. As such things go, we'd lost several planes and crews around there. One day, with no friendly escort, our B-24 group plowed through moderate fighter attack and heavy anti-aircraft flak and strung a sizeable charge of 500 pounders and deadly fragmentation bombs right up the enemy airstrip. A beautiful job, except our flight leader caught a flak barrage and had to bail his crew out in the mountains to the north. Soon Intelligence reported all the guys were with the partisans; they walked a ton of miles, evaded capture, and made it out. Two of the officers visited us before their departure for the U.S. and told an enigma tic tale. The enemy, having become increasingly disturbed by our busting up their airfield, had collected 100 prominent Greek civilians nearby. As we'd approached, the Nazis assembles these venerable patriots on the runway and themselves took cover. Our perfect drop killed them all. Intelligence neither confirmed or denied it. This information kindled some ::. a discussion of the nature of War, of Lt. Calley, and of, apparently, how first stones are cast rueful conversation, indeed. But the unanimous agreement within my circle was, had we known the noncombatants were there we'd have dropped all the same. Unless ordered otherwise, when we'd fought our way to a target we blamed well meant to hit it, because a miss or an abort meant having to return again and that was distinctly unhealthy. Incidentally, I received verification of the story in California in 1947 from a restaurant owner whose grandfather was slain by the raid. He knew the date and full circumstances, agreed with our assessment, and set me up to a fine, free dinner; which I admit was a bit difficult to eat. Shortly following WW II, I had a long, detailed talk with a very close, unimpeachable friend: a former infantry platoon leader. He'd served in Patton's army during the classic drive from Normandy across central France to the German border in which defeated, disorganized Wermacht divisions were swept up or cut apart wholesale. While reflecting on the enormity of the enemy disaster, I asked how the hordes of captured were managed. He informed me these were turned over to the military police. "But you bagged so many, surely an M. P. wasn't on hand each time a bunch surrendered?" In that case, we'd detail a G.l. or so to march 'em back to a P.O.W. stockade." "Didn't that deplete your strength? You were fighting, advancing." "Well, you must realize many of the Germans were kinda glad the war was over for them. Sometimes we just disarmed 'em, pointed the way to the rear, and trusted they'd follow orders." "How about the Nazi SS, the stormtroops, the real, gung-ho bully boys? Turn them loose and they'd be at you unbau xrrimts ~ ~ again in 24 hours " Very quietly, almost solemnly, he replied, "Well, in a real jam those were taken for a little walk in the woods." These incidents are not related with int~nt to exonerate Lt. Calley for I can't say he requires exoneration. Knowledge of such brutality is not unique to me, nor in the least pleasant to recall. Rather, they cast some light on how men other than Calley have resolved ticklish battle predicaments. Most combat veterans, particularly infantry, can tell worse, much worse .... but few will. Gen. Sherman's term for war was not an idle quip. Instead of William, Calley's name could be Joe -the type guy whose life record under normal, civilized conditions would be confined to the vital statistics columns: born, wed, children, died. But, who will ever know his mental, moral, or physical state on March 16, 1968? No one .... for man is an entity, not a machine -or an angel. The good guys and the bad guys are not separate forces, distinguishable by uniform. A veteran would say Lt. Calley bought it: he drew the joker from a stacked deck: he was in the wrong hole at the wrong time. Should this article be deemed shocking: good. An awful lot of folks need shocking. If it sickens: better still. The dreamers who imagine they run this country need a touch of sickening. It is high time quixotic myths be discarded and reality dealt with. The genuine Sergeant York of Termessee and France was not Gary Cooper of the movies . Our prayers should go out for Lt. Calley whom we, in our abyssmal ignorance, caused to be sent to a place called My Lai. We should pray for the military jurors at Ft. Benning. And, perhaps most of all, we should fervently pray for ourselves. entintl Devoted To The Greater Middle Ohio Valley Your Invited Guest R ea.ching More Than lT,OOO Families THREE SECTIONS 32 PAGES Pomeroy-Middleport . :·.· SUNDAY, MARCH 28, 1971 Gallipolis-Point Pleasant NE~~Tf~D 15 CENTS GilliganPlan Bad-Welker • • fl Cable TV Opening Set in Mid April •• • • Installation of free home connections for the PoinTView cable television system will begin in about 10 days to two weeks, it has been announced. The grand opening for beginning of service on the system is tentatively scheduled for the period of April 15 to April 20. Some homes may be wired before service actually is started, according to Paul Crabtree, president of PoinTView's parent company In these cases, the installation crews will retw·n to activate the system. Crabtree also said that construction of the CATV system in Mason and New Haven is about two-thirds complete, and construction in Middleport and Pomeroy will be in full swing in early April. The procedures for wiring homes in Point Pleasant will be as follows : 1 - A group of Point Pleasant women will canvass the entire town, conferring with each householder about a convenient time for making the installation, and determining where in the home the connection is desired. 2 - The home interviews will begin in the north end of the cit~. and will proceed southward to Shadle Bridge. The installation crews will follow the s<une general route.

BY BOB HOEFLICH POMEROY - The tax load of some Mei 'land Ga < Cuunt:ans would double if the nr p .Is d OhiO s new governor, John J .• J1gan, were adopted, District 27 Representative Ralph Welker, republican, satd Saturday. Rep. Welker said the governor's program will provide not only for increased real estate taxes for Meigs and Gallia Countians but for a personal income tax. The governor's program does not include a homestead exemption for the elderly and retired. The program requires that these people assume their share of the increase in property taxes, Rep . Welker said. "This would be disastrous for many of them who are living on fixed incomes," the district representative commented in expressing his concern over the proposals of the new Democratic governor. Hitting upon the income tax problem Rep. Welker said that alone would cost residents $75 a person a year. In other words, a family of fow· would pay $300 in new taxes. The income tax would be placed not only on individuals but on corporations and business. ''Every person in Meigs County would suffer a tremendous increase in taxes," representative Welker said. There would be no real estate tax rollback in Meigs or Gallia Counties, the representative said. Increases on real estate in the two counties would range from 7.!4 per cent to 136.8, the latter U!ir:6 it'l the Kyger Creek School District. Under the proposals of the new governor, a school district is required to have a minimum operating millage of 22.5 mills. Eastern Local in Meigs County has now 19 mills; Meigs Local has 18 and Southern Local has 18 mills in Meigs County. In Meigs County this would mean 3.5 mills or a 19 per cent increase and a 4.5 mill or 25 per cent increase for both Meigs and Southern Local Districts. For Gallia County the figures are: Gallipolis, 21 mills now with an increase of 2.5 mills or a 7.14 increase in real estate taxes; Hannan Trace, 19.20 mills now, a 3.3 mill increase, 17 per cent; Kyger Creek, 9.5 mills now, an increase of 13 mills or 136.8 per cent; for North Gallia, 19 now, an increase of 3.5 or 19 per cent; Southwestern, 20 now, an increase o.f 2.5 mills or 11 per cent. Another qualifying factor for districts to participate in state funds also is the enrollment of students, Rep. Welker said. A minimum enrollment of 2,000 is required. Last year enrollment in Meigs County included, Eastern, 943; Meigs Local, 2,972, and Southern, 1,047.

Some residents expressed fears Apnl 1, 19GCJ on an overdue account. of pollution because of siltation and acid mine drainage when Hatch announced the project Monday. In answer to those inquiries, Hatch said his firm will practice land reclamation during the stripping project. ''Land reclamation is a vital part of Hanna's surface-mining operation," he said . Hatch distributed a company brochure that claimed approximately 2,200 acres of land, disturbed by surface-mining, are reclaimed each year and planted to some type of vegetative cover. The booklet said from 1948 to 1968 the company had mined 109,184,240 tons of coal at its surface operations and disturbed 31,720 acres of land. Of this total, 28,520 acres have been graded; approximately 15,000 acres have been planted to crownvetch, a plant with creeping stems high in protein content. Since 1961, Hanna has pastured more than 18,000 head of cattle on crownvetch pasture . The company now grazes 6,000 acres of crownvetch planted on surfacemined land . The big question asked now, however, is whether Gallia 's land will be reclaimed similar to that in Hanna's operations in Belmont and Harrison Counties or be left torn-up as are the stripped lands in the Cheshire area. Hanna officials told civic leaders during the luncheon Monday that all efforts will be made to reclaim disturbed land here .

The United States Senate is today at an important crossroad in settling with justice the century-old question of Alaska Native land rights. The Alaskan Natives 60,000 Indians, Eskimos, and Al~~ts - are asking the Senate to grant them legal title to 60 mtlhon acres of land that they have lived on since time immemorial. This is only 17 per cent of the land they possessed before the white man came. Ten United ~tates Senators have introduced a bill, S. 835, to honor our promtses to the Alaskan Natives. The natives assert that the Senate bill they advocate will allow them, village by village, generation by generation to make their own choice as to whether to continue their tradition~ way of life or.~ elect. to take advantage of whatever commercial opporturutles thetr land may afford. The Alaska natives depend upon ~e. land and its waters for their present livelihood, hunting and ftshmg, as they always have. The land is also their chief resource for sharing in the economic growth and development of the state and Nation. Equally important, the land is the basis of their rich and varied cultures. You can help by writing our Senators and President Nixon in support of S. 835. Richard McKenzie Wilmington, Ohio 45177 Support for Candidate Invited March 23, 1971 Dear Sir: I am and have been a resident of Gallia County for the past 20 years, and I am very dissatisfied with the progress in Gallia and Meigs County. The people in Southeastern Ohio are starved for noticeable recreational facilities, sanitation facilities, and not to mention job opportunities. Why haven't we absorbed this advancement? Just look right across the Ohio River to poverty stricken West Virginia. We can see advancement of their counties, and use of their natural resources. It appears that they have public officials that will not take no for an answer when they ask for state or federal grants, for regional developments, job training, and other matters of this nature. This is what we need in Southeastern Ohio. We need people and elected officials, who want to better not only their wallets, but better their neighbors' too. I have always been under the impression that our public officials are in office working in our behalf. I have yet to see anything that they can offer as adequate proof that they are concerned with our welfare. I will not deny past officials credit for asking possibly for help from our federal or state governments. H they did, it must have been in a very mild and meek manner; definitely not in the manner to express the urgent need and unportance of this matter. When the answer is no, our public o ave vidently tucke? their tails between thm legs, ran lus1on of their offices, wrote it off as a flop, and told ey were sorry. We get tired of hearing tbat. We need a littl backbone, who will fight for what is right. It surely seems that with all tbe taxes we pay and all the foreign aid that we hand out to other countries, that we could get a little of it for our own families and our progress. I've been working under a man who has done more for Meigs County than any of the public officials. He is in charge of Operation Mainstream, a government sponsored, nonprofit organization. His name is Jack W. Crisp. Jack had to really fight to get the program started. This program offers job opportunities for unskilled men, along with much needed area clean-up and advancement. This is good for the people in this area, but nevertheless, every time the contract expires, Jack has to fight a small war to get the contract renewed. This sort of thing is needless. Someone is constantly trying to tear this program to pieces. What are they afraid of? It may be that the government will allot a nickel to this program, that they won't get into their pockets. This area, as previously stated in this letter, needs a man who is concerned with progress and betterment of this area and not his own wallet. Jack W. Crisp is the man for this job. I am a mem2_er of the minority party, which is very irrelevant. It is time we ignore politics and follow the systems of other progressing states, instead of hanging onto antique systems and modes of living. Our present system would be ideal for the public of 50 years ago. Jack W. Crisp will try to help anyone regardless of race, creed, color, or Political Party, and he will not take no for an answer. At this time I am asking for an indorsement from the people of tbe area to draft Jack W. Crisp as their Candidate for state representative of tbe 27th House District. Anyone wanting more information, or would like to help in any way to see Southeastern Ohio progress, feel free to write or contact in any manner: Barry R. Bias, P . 0 . Box No. 44, Vinton, Ohio 45686; or call after 5 p .m . 388-8559. Sincerely, Barry R. Bias P.S. Take into consideration any organization is as good and operates as efficiently as the people who run it. Your support will be deeply appreciated. Gilligan 13 Draw Fines (Continued from page 1) Meigs Local can meet the minimum enrollment in Meigs County. Gallia County has only one district, Gallipolis City district, with an enrollment of 3,015 to qualify. Enrollment of other districts in Gallia are Hannan Trace, 657; Kyger Creek, 841; North Gallia, 928, and Southwestern 610. The governor's program would force the smaller school districts into consolidation immediately, Rep. Welker indicated. "We just cannot accept this program," the representative concluded. SENTENCE SUSPENDED GALLIPOLIS- Common Pleas Judge Ronald R. Calhoun Saturday morning sentenced two Proctorville brothers both juveniles to 1-7 year terms in the Ohio Reformatory at Mansfield in connection with the theft of three guns and a power saw from the residence of Donald Workman near Mercerville. Judge Calhoun, however, suspended the sentences and placed both on three years probation. THE FOUR GONE CONCLUSIONS, left to right, A.

Driver Suffers Fractured Ribs in Accident GALLIPOLIS Anna Elizabeth George, 52, was treated at the Holzer Medical Center for fractured left ribs Friday afternoon sustained in a two vehicle accident at 1:22 p.m. on Second Ave. ond Spruce St. City police said the George auto was struck in the rear by a car operated by John Charles Hite, 53, Middleport. Hite was cited to Municipal Court on a charge of failure to stop within the assured clear distance. Ralph Saunders, 50, Gallipolis, was charged with reckless operation following an accident at 8:20p.m. Friday on Third Ave. Officers said Saunders lost control of his car and struck a parked car owned by Emery D. Bartels, Rt. 3, Fredericktown, Ohio. Roger McCelland, 38, Rt. 1, Gallipolis, was booked on a and think, just what is going on? Last week a leading official in Middleport promised my husband that it would be covered by the weekend. I myself drove up to the so-<:alled landfill on a Friday and inquired of the man working there if it was going to be covered. With a witness present in my car, the man stated, "It is too cold to run a dozer and besides he had not even been notified that it was to be covered." Really now! Are promises made to be broken? Is there anybody you can trust in these days? Concerning all the new families that are bound to be moving into our community, think of it this way: If you were moving here from elsewhere, would you want to live next to something like that? I wouldn't, and I don't. This dump has cost us a pretty penny already. It's polluted our water, wrecking our health and even making our children afraid to play out in their own yard. Then, when it catches on fire the smoke is severe. You ask, how did it catch on fire to start with? I ask, ''Could it burn if it was a proper landfill?" What do we want, another Wilkesville incident? No, certainly not. Recently, my children brought home a notice from school, asking tbat each person work on a cleaning up, fixing up project. Prizes are even to be given for the best projects. Is this what our lime and generation is coming to? Do citizens of Middleport have to be bribed to keep their community clean? They should want to keep it clean, if for no other reason than to know, that cleanliness is next to Godliness. What could be a better project than to get this dump closed and covered? A once clean land could be beautified again, with just a little cooperation and effort. Mrs. Eldeana Smith, Mr. Jim Smith.

Company had wined and dined our esteemed County Commissioners to convince them of the merits of the great plan to strip and destroy 10,300 acres of Gallia and Lawrence County land. Do you know how large an area is 10,300 acres? It is 16 square miles or a square 4 miles long on each side. Think on this for a moment ... and this can only be the beginning. A few weeks ago the good news was announced about the new General Gavin Power plant to be constructed near Cheshire. This, without question, will be a boon and huge asset to our county and surrounding areas. At the moment I cannot recall the number of editorials, speeches, comments, etc., in which every civic group and civic minded citizen in the area gave nothing but lhe tghest praise to those who were in a y way responsible for the declSlon to build here, and I must say rightly so. This plant will become an increasingly valuable asset to this area for many years to come, and we owe many thanks to those groups who helped bring this about. Now, I have a question. Since this Hanna Coal Company operation appears to be about as large in scope as the new Gavin plant but only over a short, in their words, 15 year period, why haven't I heard or read flowing editorials, flowery and flattering speeches of praise for this operation from this same civic groups and individuals? And our county commissioners, where do they stand? As far as action is concerned, we know where they stand, and they, more than any other resident, should know what happens to an area that is stripped, and they say nothing. Actually, I guess there is nothing good that can be said about such destruction as will occur. I think the tune has long since passed that we should have taken a strong stand against this destructive force, if not for our own sake, then for the sake of the generations to follow, your great-grandchildren and mine. I know the economic value of coal to our country, for my employer is one of the largest users of coal, if not the largest, in the country. They use both deep mined and stripped coal by the millions of tons yearly, so I am aware of the value of coal to the economy. But, there must be a better way. There just has to be, or there won't be a reason left to mine coal in a few years. What do you think? One who cares Hollis E.

Nature, of course, takes care of some of it, but even mother Nature can't cover up the rest of it. I have watched our streams slowly die from siltation, not all, of course, from strip mines. I have personally watched thousands of fish die in our beautiful Raccoon Creek, die from suffocation due strictly and directly to the effects of acid mine water, from both deep and strip mines. That was years ago . There are no fish there now . Thirty years ago Raccoon Creek was one of the best bass streams in the Eastern United States. Today it is a dead s tream, no vegetation, no life. And no one cares. Every one who crosses Raccoon Creek on Route No. 7 need but cast a glance upstream a hundred or so yards to see an ugly eye-sore that has been there fifteen, maybe twenty years. This coal loading machinery hasn't been used in perhaps the last twelve to fifteen years and is slowly rotting and rusting away, creatmg a blot on an otherwise beautiful scene.

Dear Editor: "Who's kidding who?" Sanitary Landfill! Just what is the meaning of sanitary and landfill? I've always had the understanding that sanitary meant clean and landfill certainly did not mean to fill the land with trash and litter, then let it lay out in the open. When I say open, I do mean open. Really! A public dump right next to a State Route; a very much used highway, I might add. We, the citizens of Leading Creek, are very sad about this situation. When you have small children that are even afraid to go out and play in their own yard, because of rats, then I say it's time to do something drastic. Let me ask a few interesting questions: ( 1) Why was the old dump closed to start with? It was out of sight, away from homes and children. Certainly it could have been run efficiently if tried . (2) Who bought the land where it first was? (3) was it up for public auction: If so, when was it advertised" ( 4) Who owns the land, where it is now ? And why does the owner have another person's right of way fenced off and locked? There arc many more questions that could be asked and undoubtably will be if something is not done right away . .Just beeause of this one big problem, we arc beginning to wonder jus t who runs the town of Middleport. the people. as tt should be OR is it just orH' or tv-c• peorl<'.

BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH POMEROY - Enrichment, as recommended in today's modern educational approach, was well provided Wednesday when Pioneer Day was observed by the second grade of th e Pomeroy Elementary School. Taught by Miss Mary Virginia Riebel, the second graders turned back the hands of time as they reported to school in a variety of costumes to enhance the experiences of the day. Classroom exhibits collected over a period of a few weeks were outstanding. They ranged from a spinning wheel and wearing apparel of the pioneer era to collector's items including firearms, flat irons, circus posters, sheet music, oil lamps, brass kettles, jewelry, trivets, sleigh bells, books and a coffee grinder. While a number of the articles for the display were provided by Miss Reibel, most of the 29 second graders brought in at least one for the exhibit. Among the items on display were replicas of a covered wagon and an old-time hutch filled with m iniature china dishes. The popular prairie and m axi dre sses proved appropriate costuming for some of the girls. The observance culminated a Fast Family Snacking MISS MARY VffiGINIA REIBEL, second grade teacher, planned the study series on early Amer ica and provided numerous items for the Pioneer Day display from her per sonal collection of fam ily antiques a nd heirlooms.

Mrs. Drummond PERFECT FOR HER IN A NEW I I ADDISON Mrs. Joe Drummond was hostess for the Addison WSCS March meeting. Mrs. Ray Hughes opened the meeting by reading from Corinthians and a poem about house and home. She also gave a program titled, Family Cluster. Those assisting and taking part were Mrs . Charles Shaver, Mrs. Larry Hood and Mrs. Joe Drummond. During the business meeting a thank-you was read from Mrs. Roy Ballard, district president for the sympathy card sent her during a recent bereavement. The president reported on the district meeting to be held in May. Mrs. Gladys Caldwell donated a quilt to be completed for sale. The members voted to donate $5 to buy postage for the POW letters. They also volunteered to get names for the project. Mrs. Joe Hughes assisted with the serving of refreshments. AS A PICTURE SPRING COATS .\l\\ scheduled at workshop Washington School on April 17 and sponsored by the French City Garden Club in connection with their planned flower show, was read. Mary Ann McCarley gave the program for the evening. Her subject was, Vines. She gave many uses for vines. "If you have an undesirable spot that you wish to hide, use a vine," she said. Vines can be used for privacy, to beautify an otherwise plain house, and on trellises to add interest and beauty to a garden. Clematis is a colorful and easy to grow vine. It likes full sunlight or especially the morning sun and roots in the cool, moist, well-drained soil. Set out in a sweet soil. Firm the soil so as to press out air pockets. Roots grow near the surface of the soil so do not cultivate. Add fertilizer and during the summer put peat moss or humus on to insure soil won't dry out. In early spring prune back old growth. Usually new growth starts by March 1. The height of beauty is from May 15 to June 15 or later dpending on the size and age of the plant.

U1rl Scouts, Boy Scouts, cancer crusaders, art colony, JWC Charity Ball, PTA Fair, Homes '71, to mention a few events going on. But the French City Garden Club is going to be busier still. It is planning a flower show April17 and 18. Mrs. Wymond Bradbury, show chairman, tells me one class in the show which calls for a pendant is bothering potential exhibitors. So Mrs. Bradbury went to her dictionary. It defines a pendant as a thing that hangs or depends on something else, either for ornaments or for use; or something attached to another thing, as an ending, or appendix, or hanging ornament. It's this easy: just make a hanging decoration! I would enter this class if I were still exhibiting. It is a creative addition to the usual show schedule and I'll be looking for it. I HAVEN'T SAID much yet about the signs of spring, but they are everywhere, in spite of the snow this week. Crocus have been blooming all aroWld and m:my of the old variety of forsythia have blossomed. Mrs. George Davis had a lovely yellow bouquet of branches at a club meeting the other night. SO SORRY to hear Anne Bradbury has been ill. She is probably better now, but a card sent late is better than no card at all. HEARD ABOUT BILL NAPIER, and wanted to do a story on him, but when I went up to the Holzer Medical Center Wednesday evening, he had been discharged. How many more chances will I get to interview anyone 109 years old? IF YOU MISSED GETTING acquainted with Peg Blazer (Mrs. Russell) when she lived here, it's your loss. If you remember, Peg and her husband, Russell, decided to retire here and established Paradise Lake. I hadn't met either of them until I went to do a story of their retirement. Peg had owned a thriving flower shop in Columbus and was an accredited flower show judge and teacher. She sold the shop, so she and Russell take ita little easier. Then came the sorrow of his death shortly after the move. Now Peg has returned to Columbus but returns here some weekends and visits the Noah Walters, Ruth's Flower Shop and me. MRS. HOMER E. MORGAN, the former Annabelle Holcomb, sent me a cute poem. She thought I would enjoy it, and I did. It was about how "My get up and go has got up and went." Mrs. Morgan said she thought of me just as soon as she saw the poem. I don't know if I should feel complimented or not. I admit there are times when I know something has got up and went, but not too often. I'm JUSt kidding of course, I appreciate Mrs. Morgan's thoughtfulness, and I passed the poem around the office so everyone could get a laugh out of it. There aren't enough things to laugh at these days. r---------------------------1 !He I Hlp Us!I y Htl~n Bottel I 1 YOUTH ASKED FOR IT!

SATIRERAISES IRE OF TEENAGERS Dear Helen: I got a great kick out of "Harding Republican" and his satire on the "rights of Responsible Elements to Birch-whip sniveling little ingrates who practice freedom of speech." As you say - the ghost of Jon a than Swift is tap dancing on his typewriter. How many people didn't catch on to his leg-pulling? HARDY DEMOCRAT Dear Dem: Many! ! ! Here's a sample: Dear Helen: This letter is for our old friend, Harding Republican. Before we start heaving the heavy stuff, we want him to know we are not all bombing and revolution fanatics, not all drug addicts and not all vicious little sex-craved devils rWlning aroWld with grenades in our pockets. A lot of us think that war and prejudice are wrong, cops are not pigs, and Nixon tries harder than some people we know (even !bough some of us aren't exactly Agnewstics. We also think that everyone deserves his free speech, oral or written, whether he's yoWlg, old, black, white, green or purple. Now the charges: First H. R. tried to take away the "obnoxious little prig's" freedom of speech, guaranteed him by law. Then he suggested that he be "thrashed within an inch of his life" (child-beating is a No-No). Last, he talked about the "rights of Responsible Elements" as if only long-haired hippie types should be busted for smoking pot, while adults in high places should be allowed that privilege. I'd say the system (or Establishment) is in a sorry mess, and it's the Harding Republicans of the world that keep it that way! MORE "SNIVELING LITTLE INGRATES" (Nine signatures) Dear Snivs: A good letter, but misdirected. Get thee to a library and read Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal." Harding Republican is on YOUR side, kids. It's time you studied up on satire. - H. Dear Helen : Today I learned that all the schools in our county are against !be girls' wearing hotpants. Honest, Helen, what's immoral about shorts (as one principal had the nerve to say)? Of course there are a lot of girls who would say, "If we could wear hotpants, why not regular shorts?" And that would lead to problems, as there is a big difference between the new style and just any old shorts- as far as I can see, anyway. - HOTPANTS LOVER Dear HPL: (Occurs to me that a year ago your signature would have been censored in family newspapers. How times - and meanings change!) "As far as eye can see" IS the big difference between hotpants and just any old shorts, isn't it? They're considerably briefer, therefore more controversial. My prediction : they'll make it in a few California schools this spring, but not in your conservative state. - H.
