The Real 'Story Is Internal Strain

Through the years communist governments the dire internal problems which the communist have made it a habit to create an external inciden^ government is facing with the half-starved people real or imaginedin order to divert attention of under its domination, their people from dire internal problems within their countries.

TEPOZTLAN, MEXICO The Spaniards spent a few days here in 1521, firing on the Aztecs and knocking down pyramids and temples. Mr, Hernn Cortes kept sending messages to the natives up on the high cliffs overlooking Topoctlan to come dowm and get shot like civilized people.

There still is a picturesque has ever explained the parti-and is making an intensive study of people.

And the natives sent back many messages, which were mostly large boulders that flattened Mr. Cortes supporters.

But civilization finally won out and the Spaniards made it up the hill. They knocked over the temples of the pulque gods and put a serious dent in the hangover business for some time.

There still i sa picturesque ruin atop of the cliffs but you have to be a very energetic type to get a look at it. That sums up the essentials of Tep-oztlans history. And today it is a quiet, colonial sort of place 'ith a solid gold view of an incredibly beautiful valley. Full of neat fields arid Indian gentlemen riding burros around the countryside.

Mr. Daniel Webster refers to the donkey as a small, domestic animal resembling the horse. With longer ears and a shorter mane. He forgot to add that in these parts, the donkey is man's best and most obstinate friend.

The Indian's burro is his freight train, sports car and philosopherpal. <The bicycle has not wer.sled in here yet. But so far as I know, nobody has evern explained the particular social category occupied by a donkey, burro, ass or mule.

And not being up to date on this collection of terms, I interviewed a donkey named Rogelio who lives in a nearby field and is ipaking an inten.sive stc-dy of people.

Rogelio informed me that a group of people were brought to Mexico by an equine expedition which arrived here in the middoe of the 16th Century. The nags have been hpre ever since. So have the people.

"Now a hurro, said Rogelio, removing his gla.^.ses and eetd-ing back in his hammock,' is merely a donkev who won t admit it. By way of explanaton, the burro or donkey if yoir P-efer - i.^; Arvan stock np.a-b!e of co.'Uir.uine i"iden(>fknl-]y. Something hke people."

The mule Is the offspring of a female horse and a male burro and cannot reproduce. But when the male horse marries the female burro, something curious happens and the product Is called a hinny. Isnt that peculiar?"

Breathtaking so, I admitted.

We are known collectively as asses," said Rogelio, laying the Atlantic Monthly he had been reading, because our forefathers were the wild asses of Abyssinia. People are known as asses for other reasons and we therefore prefer to be called burros.

There was a time when we burros planned to dominate the world. But after observing people for a few generations, we abandoned the idea. Just consider the basic situation of life; man or burro, you have to work even though you hate it. We figured that burros would have more trouble with people than people would have with burros. So we voluntarily submitted.

Rogelio tamped his pipe and set fire to It. However, he added, there Ls no question that man IS superior to the burro, We could never have devised such intricate systems of politics, warfare and taxes. And people find more ways of creating confusion that we could.

I consider, Rogelio observed, burping politely, that our civilization would have been vastly inferior. We base our petty patterns on contentment because we are really a race of bums at heart.

So I stuck my press card In the band of my hat and got out

the public schools may have taken the Joy out of the lives of children by removing religious holidays which are so meaningful. Christmas Is such a Joyous holiday for children, but has to do with God and, liccording to Mr. Justice Black, God is forbidden in tax-supported schools.

Chanuka is a Jewish holiday and is often coincident with Christmas and Jewish children enjoy its ceremonials and the gifts that are given. It has to do with ar^iieroic character, Judas Maccabeu.s, who cleansed the Temple of Impurities and es

tablished a dynasty.

There are other holidays, such as Good Friday and Yom Kip-pur which are celebrated during the school year. I presume that these will be Interdicted by the decision of the learned Mr. Justice Black whose great anti-God decision contains not one reference to precedent or American tradition. Unfortunately, for demonstration purposes, my children are all grown or married or I should have them stand up each morning and silently say the undenominational prayer which Justice Blacks decision forbids, but I would have them think the words And God have mercy on the Supreme Court of the United States,

Perhaps some Justice will want to abolish the Cl

To the Editor:

To whom do we owe our first loyalty, to God or to our state goveiTied schools?

Why do we after enjoying our new found freedom in this great land of America for centuries where we have built the greatest nation the world has ever knowTi, suddenly decide our liberty and personal freedom is being trampled on because we have recognized God and Christianity as basic and fundamental in our schools.

It is the concensus of opinion of the average American, and I must say the deep concern of many that today we are at the cross roads of destiny and that definitely we"~5re headed down because we are leaving God out of all of our activities of life, America is no exception to His inevitable law that the individual and nation will reap Whatsoever they sow. Gods chosen people, the Hebrew nation, scattered to the four corners of the earth.

In early history religion and social life were centered around the home.

The kindred were closely woven together by one governing body. In our modem soci^y these homes no longer have the power nor do they assume the responsibility for the conduct of the Individual. The state tells us what to do regardless of our

cedure when you consider the basic difference between humans and burros?

Ah, he said, meditating his umbilicus. People are, of course, more subtle. Take this man from Philly I was talking to last week. It seems he ' hd acquired a million bucks and ulcers and he was on his way to Acapulco. Something about buying into a land deal in Alaska. I believe. Anyhow, fundamentally. I would say. .

At which point Rogelio closed his eyes and began sawing logs. And there was nothing to do except tip my hat politely and leave.

A very fnustrating thing to have to omit the mo.st important explanation Rogelio could have given me for this inter-^ew. Fo I .still do not know tlie ciifferenee IxHween people and jackassiss.

law the state takes our children nine to elevn months to the year. Now the rulers of our land (The Supreme Court judges) are telling us tlmt the religious and spiritual development of our citizenship is not basic or essential so far as the state Ls concerned, that if we desire that type of training that it must be done by us Individuals, when and however we will and can find a way to do it. Then after we have done what little we can we are forced to send them back into that Godless environment created by the Supreme Court who say law is supreme that God mu.st

be left out. As Peter stated in answer to his critics Whom are we to obey, God or man. This is not the first time the decree has gone out that we must not witness for God. History is only repeating Itself. The sole duty of man is to fear God and keep His commandments. Ye shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea and unto the uttermost parts of the earth. Democracy, education and Christianity are insep-rable.

No God feaiing or self respecting teacher would dare stand between innocent childhood and the Light that cometh from our Maker. He that standeth in the wray littte ones better it were for him had he a millstone tied about his neck and that he be cast in the midst of the sea."

Upon what manner of meat duth Ci^esar feed that he has grown so great?

Our Supreme Court judges nor no other human being is big enough to tell you what to do with your God.

The decree went out from king Darvis that no one should worship God.

Daniel still turned his face toward Jerusalem and prayed. King Darviss word was law. Why should God have any more respect for our school laws than He* had' for the law of king Darvis when he is left out?

Any person that is intellectually developed - and spiritually dwarfed is an arch enemy to society. We certainly dont wish to tax ourselves to develop, train that type of citizenship. It would be a thousand times better to take the state out of our schools than to take God out. Once we do take God out, just as the rulers of the past were unable to interpret the handwriting on the wall because of spiritual blindness, today they may fall but just the same the handwriting will be there.

armed forces. He would prefer ^ perhaps that a boy dying on the field of battly pray to a politician. as to such a character as Khrushchev, rather than to God.* It is significant that Justice Black should have written his Godless decision within a month of the centennial of Abraham Lincolns signature on the law which authorized the appointment as chaplain in the United States ArmV of any regularly ordained minister of some religious denomination. Hereto fore, the Chaplain Service was limited to some Christian denomination. TTie law wgs signed by Lincoln on July 1 1862, and since then most of the religious groups in the Uifited States have contributed chaplains to our armed forces and have performed so great a service that all the NATO countries have become interested in this service and have sent delegates to the United States to study its methods.

In passing, it Is worthwhile to inform Lawrence Roth, the author of the troubles that produced the outrageous Black Decision, that as a result of the July 17, 1862, Lincoln signature, Rabbi Jacob Frankel of Congregation Rodelph Shalom of Philadelphia, on September 18, 1862, became the first Jewish chaplain to be wounded in action was Rabbi Ferdinand Samer who fought at Gettysburg.

I only mention the Jewish -clmpitis lest Roth imagine that he has performed some worthy service to anyone. The Jews suffer greatly because of non-religious, ethnological Jews of whose conduct the Jews cannot rid themselves. An ethnological Jew is one who was bom of Jewish parents but who has no other Jewish affiliations or affections.

It is like the creature, Soblen, who not only acted the spy, but robbed a dead brother of his passport, skipped bail, leaving his guarantors with a loss of money, his wife in despair, and his lawyer without words. But his greatest crime was to go to Israel. He might have gone to Brazil or to Hell. He gratuitously involved Israel In h 1 S crimes, both legal and moral, and brought notoriety to a country upon which he can have no claim. Israel cannot possibly give such a creature RanctuaiT, not even If he dies a thousand deaths, for he is a traitor to all that is holy and decent. Those who aided him in his escape should be ferreted out and punished. It might be a suitable task for U. S. Attorney Morgenthau in New York who needs to prove himself to be more than a political appointee,

BABSON PARK. Man. ~ I do not Imow what will happen in the stock mai^et between now and the time when you read this in your local newspapers, but from December IS, 1961 to the present:

The Industrials have gone from a high of 734.91 to 534.76;

The Utilities have gone from 133.96 to 103.33;

The Railroads have gone from 144.45 to 116.05.

This means that the Dow-Jtxies Industrials, which Is what investors popularly use as a measure, have gone off more than 27 per cent from their all-time high. The previous low for the cycle was In 1957.

Figuring this roughly, a 27 per cent drop is nothing for investors to worry about provided they are not buylng<m margin, or on loan, and provided they have stocks of good quality. The difficulty comes with those who are bu^g stocks on margin and who have been nearly wiped out or have suffered severe losses. I feel very sorry for them. On the other hand, those who have their stocks paid for and In their safe-deposit ox probably have nothing to fear and in their safe-depoait box again some day to much higher prices.

WHAT ABOUT BONDS? Very few people buy bonds on margdn. But, while some industrial blue chips still yield only around 3^ per cent, |ood corporation bonds which precede in security all stocks of the same company can be bought to yield around AVz per cent. Therefore, the wise investor have gradually been changing from gUt-cdge stocks to bonds.

Usually corporidion bonds are, of course, taxable as to income; but tax-exempt municipals, or revenue bonds issued on the turnpikes, can be bought to yield about 3 per cent to any investor, and the equivalent of 7 per cent to investors in the 50 per cent-or-hiigher tax bracket. Personally, because of the probability of Inflation, I prefer to buy bonds of not over five-ten years maturity. This is >very Important to remember.

MUTUAL FUNDS Probably most of my readers have mutual funds. In -many cases, they are being bought on an Installment basis, ^th payment every month. I bellve In mutual funds for the small investor as it gives him diversification under what is supposed to be proper supervision. But, like everything else in this world; mutual funds have both their advantages and their disadvantages.

So long as the new sales exceed the redemptions, the managers of the funds are not obliged to sell any of their holdings. If, however, cancellations exceed the new sales, then the managers ofthe funds are compelled to sell securities, and the mutual funds may temporarily suffer, even though they will ultimately rebound. Mutual funds in the long run must go up and down as the general market goes up and down. If we are now in a bear -market, mi^4ial funds, will decline in price also. It therefore Is Important when buying new mutual funds In a bear market to be sure that the price Is adjusted to the Dow Jones Average. IMPORTANCE OF CAREFUL SELECTION In a bear market it is very difficult to select stocks for both proiit and Income, and especially for profit. On the other hand, any sound, Iraig-established Investment advisory service should be able to select good stocks which will pay 5-6 per cent. Stocks which would fit this category are the equities of the big transcontinental railroads such as the Union Pacific, the Northern Pacific, the Canadian Pacific, the Southern Pacific, and the Atchison.

If an Investor wants to be ultra-conservative, he might divide his money amongst these five railroads. He would tticn be able to secure safety with a feood yield. Some readers will say to themselves that they want no railroad securities. But, these railroads own valuable oil and mineral assets which go a long way toward paying their dividends irrespective of the railroads traffic. Certainly, they can all give up their passenger business and be an attrartlve Investment.
