"Where are the empires of old? Where is Egypt, once a state on a high plane of civilization, where a form of socialism prevailed, and rvhere the distribution of wealth was regulated? Where are the empires of the East and the Empires of the West which once were the shrines of wealth, wisdom, and culture? Where are Babylon, Persia, Carthage, Rome, and Byzantium? They fell, never to rise again, annihilated at the hands of a more warlike and aggressive people, iheir cultures memories, their cities ruins." (Douglas MacArthur to the Rainbow Division.)

The story goes that a gentleman, returning home from a short business trip, stopped at a toy shop and bought a toy to take home to his little boy. From a table filled with build-it-yourself toys he selected one, and his son was soon on the floor trying to see n: could make out of it.

Finally the kid gave up, a.nd reported to his father that he couldn't build anything out of it that would make sense. His father took a whirl at it, with the same result. He couldn't make anything sensible from the pieces. So he wrote a letter to the maker .t_an._ toy, and complained.

A week later he received an answer that read: ',This is one of a group of educational toys designed to help condition the child of today to the confused and maladjusted world in which he will have to live. NO MATTER HOW YOU PUT IT TOGETHER, IT WON'T MAKE SENSE."

Personally, I was a..pr| irlprl"..a with this little yarn. Look about you and consider what goes on in the world today, and see if you don't agree that, no matter how you put it together, it doesn't make sense.

Benjamin Franklin oiJr )rrr*rny own private concern with mankind, I have observed that to kick a little, when under imposition, has a good effect. A littte sturdiness, when superiors are much in the wrong, sometimes occasions reconsideration. And there is truth in the old saying that if you make yourself a sheep, the wolves will eat you.;

Franklin, in addition to-r"lrrg*" genius in various other directions, knew a lot about salesmanship, as witness his wise remark on that subject: "The rvay to convince another is to state your case moderately and accurately, and then scratch your head, or shake it a little as if to say that is the way it seems to you, but that, of course, you may be mistaken about it; which causes your listener to receive

what you have to say and, as like as not, turn about and try to convince YOU of it, since you are in doubt. But if you go at it in a tone of positiveness and arrogance, you may only make an opponent*of -rim."

Said Woodrow Wilson: "The history of liberty is the history of the limitation of governmental power, not the increase of it. When we resist, therefore, the concentration of power, we are resisting the processes of death, because concentration of power is what always precedes the destructiog of human liberty." *r<r<

Plato wrote in the 4th Century B.C.: "Until philosophers are kings, and princes of this world have the spirit and power of philosophy, and political greatness and wisdom meet in one, and those commoner natures who pursue either to the exclusion of the other are compelled to stand aside, cities will never rest from their evils."

Sir Charles Darwin, ,rJ"ul"r-"[ the D,arwin who wrote "The Origin of Species," is himself one of the world's leading physicists. In a recent newspaper interview he is quoted as stating that the population of the earth is increasing at the rate of 90,000 humans every day, and he thinks that over-population is the greatest menace to the future of this world. He thinks population is going to outstrip food supplies. He did not name a date when this will take place.

It reminds me of the .nJ"ril. ,lno *", addressing a large group of people on astronomy, and who declared that in five million years this earth will be no more. A man showing evidence of much excitement rose to his feet and demanded that the speaker repeat that statement. He did. Apparently much relieved in mind, the man sank back in his chair. "Oh," he said, "I thought you said ONE million years."

That's the way I was J*.]*J by reading Darwin,s figures. I don't know just how long it will take to overpopulate the earth at the rate of a 90,000-a-day increase, but it will be so,metime in the distant future. And, in the meantime, think how many homes, stores, schools, churches, garages, etc., it is going to require to properly house all these people; and what a lot of building material is going to be needed. Looks like the building industry is going to be mighty busy for a few centuries at least. Yes, there is a bright side to ?.? "jor- cloud.

The U. S. Census Bureau says the population of the United States in 1975 will be somewhere between 207 and,
