THE 6UY THAT DESIGNED THKT

THE POP-UP TOASTER. ,,e
As welfare benefits increase, and those on welfare seemingly
increase, it is a serious question when one is asked if the
emergence of the welfare state proves that we are taking the
principles of Christian charity and concern seriously. And I wish
that i could give an affirmative answer to such an inquiry but in
all honesty, 1 must admit that much of what is happening is
contrary to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as 1 see it. Yes, Jesus did
say that we are to give to the poor, but God also said that "Thou
shait eat the labor of thine hands." [Psalm 128:2.] To give
according to needs is something more than giving food, clothing,
shelter, and medical aid for which they have to do nothing but
wait until we come around again with our hand-outs; we must go
to the roots of their needs and provide for their greater needs
whereby incentive is provided them that they become productive
persons, contributing to the welfare of the community, state and
nation and not leeches on society sucking away at the life blood
of humanity.
Democracy is fastly deteriorating in America today as
socialism pushes us closer to becoming principally a welfare
state. 1 am very much opposed to the current trends of the
federal government which I believe to be totally socialistically
oriented and which perpetuate an ever enlarging class of people
who look to the government for existence - though that existence
may be only a meager one. And, what we see happening today
always happens in a socialistic development - those who are
industrious and labor for their own food have a sizable portion of
the product of their labors taken from them and given to those
who neither work nor intend to work. What or who is the
government--you and me. Thus, it is you and I who give to them,
but it is the type of giving that does not bring to them any human
dignity and personal incentive to be more than a leech on society,
sucking away at society's life blood.
Now, for some, I'm sure that this seems harsh and it is, but so
is the policy of government which punishes the worker and
rewards the lazy, indifferent leeches of society. And this is
absolutely not according to the principles of Christian charity and
concerns and is also contrary to the Gospel of Jesus as 1
understand it.
Grace and peace.

Farewell party honors
Dr. George Smith
Dr. George W. Smith and hiswife LeVernewere honored with
a giant, gala party Wednesday night by members of the
Clarendon Country Club.
The party was held at the Clarendon Country Club, a facility
built largely with the help of Smith.
About 150 people attended the event to express appreciation
to Dr. Smith and his wife for the many things they have done for
the community.
Dr. and Mrs. Smith are planning to move to Amarillo, where
he is currently practicing medicine for the Veterans
Administration. He came here 17 years ago to open Adair
Hospital, and has lived here ever since.
Dr. Smith has played an extremely active part in civic work in
Donley County during his 17 years here. There were many tears
shed as Dr. Smith was given his farewell gift, a lifetime
membership to the Clarendon Country Club.
Ham, turkey and roast beef, along with other fine food, were
served to guests at the reception, hosted by 35 couples.
