POINT AND COUNTERPOINT
Fair Warning
BY DONNA BETH HELD Yellow Jacket Columnist
Warning American citizens:
your job may be the next to go!
Back in 1961 the Jeppeson and
Co. of Denver informed Sen.
Gordon A^ott (R.-Colo.) that it
was losing some if its radio-
navigation chart-making busi-
ness to federal competition. In
this instance, it was the Com-
merce Department's Coast and
Geodetic Survey which was turn-
ing out charts at a suspiciously
low rate, far below manufactur-
ing costs, and selling them to
another federal bureau, the Fed-
eral Aviation Agency.
Lengthy investigation proved
that the Commerce Department'
was printing these aeroriaviga-
tional maps under an antique
law of 1895, and was failing to
show the charges for photo-
graphy, opaquing, platemaking,
press time and bindery. These
charges were being written off
to the general fund to be paid
for by the taxpayer. The private
firm was not getting a fair bid
and corrective legislation was
lost in the 88th Congress.
This instance of Federalia in
private business was taken from
the February 8, 1964 issue of
"Human Events." But one can
go on:
Item: A long time ago the
Hoover Commission called at-
tention to the fact that federal
agencies have overstaffed them-
selves that they might snatch
business from private firms.
Item: In 1962, a consulting
engineer of Spearfish, S.D. bid
for a job on an irrigation district
in Nebraska. He set his fee at
6 per cent of the construction
cost. The Nebraskans were to
raise their money by a federal

loan from the Interior Depart-
ment's Bureau of Reclamation,
but "with the express under-
standing (of) the right to hire
private engineering services.."
The bureau, however, insisted
upon doing the engineering ser-
vices — at nearly 24 per cent
of the construction costs —
under the threat of "Withholding
the loan.
Item: The Interior Depart-
ment's Bureau of Commercial
Fisheries got a $260,000 contract
from AID (Agency for Interna-
tional Development) to survey
fishing in Ghana. According to
Senator Thomas Kuchel of
California, no private firm was
even consideredi.
Item: AID signed up the
Army Corps of Engineers to
inventory the physical resources
of Latin America, although the
Alliance for Progress is sup-
posed to give such work to pri-
vate companies.
Item: In Boulder, Colo, the
Commerce Departmentls Geo-
logical Survey barged into a law
suit and supplied an< expert
witness at $2 a day (the tax-
payer making up the difference)
to one party of the suit, while
the, other party had to pay $100
a day to a private expert
The instances of government
in private business could, un-
fortunately, go on and on. There
has never been an instance of the
government's doing anything
more cheaply or efficiently than
an individual or private busi-
ness.
The "general welfare" of the
United States is not being help-
ed by the burgeoning, preda-
tory practices of bureaucratic
Federalia.

Yellow Jacket Staff Writer
What are the children of mis-
sionaries from the Orient, the
Near East, and South America
doing at Howard Payne Col-
lege?
Judy Howard, daughter of Dr.
and Mrs. Joe T. Howard of
41oilo City, Phillipines, is ma-
joring in elementary education
and plans to be a teacher.
James Hagood, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Finlay Graham of Beirut,
Lebanon, is a sophomore polit-
ical science major andi plans to
go into the foreign service.
David Carlisle, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Robert L. Carlisle of Mon-
tevideo, Uruguay, is a sopho-
more chemistry major and plans
to be a doctor.
Why did they come to Howard
Payne, with hundreds of col-
leges available to them, what do
they plan to do in life, and how
does Howard Payne fit into the
scheme of things?
Says Judy Howard:
"I never had a chance to go to
any other college. All my life
my mother (the former Irma
Lee Rutherford who attended
HPC in 1935-1938) talked to me
about when I got old enough to
go to Howard Payne."
"I plan to be a teacher. There
certainly is a need for proper
guidance of young children in
the world today. I'd like to
organize and teach in a church
kindergarten."
Judy is engaged to the Rev.
Doug Underhill, and they plan
to be married in June. He is
pastor of the Baptist church in
Rochelle, and will continue his
schooling here next fall.
Here's what James Hagood
says about It:
"I wanted to go to a small
college. I like the friendly co-
operative spirit here."
"I am majoring in Political
Science and I'm especially in-
terestedi in the Academy of
Freedom. It Is the only pro-
gram of it's kind in any Baptist
college in the United States."
"There is a need for promot-
ing the good will and under-
standing of the peoples of the
world. I hope to serve in this
capacity."
David Carlisle says:
"Both of my parents came
here. My dad, Robert L. Carlisle,
graduatedi from HPC in 1937."
"I plan to be a doctor. A doc-
tor has many opportunities for
Christian service.
People's needs are great in
Latin America, and David isn't
the only member of his family to
see the great need for doctors
which exists everywhere. " He
has a sister, a graduate from
Baylor University, who is now a
medical student at Baylor
School of Medicine in Houston.

DEAR AUNT EXEY
Getting It Off His Chest
DEAR AUNT EXEY: Today,
I found out something that was
hard to believe. In fact, it's so
hard to believe I can't relate
it in a letter. The question fol-
lows then "Why am I writing
this to you?" There's no rea-
son, other than to say it. You
see, I am deceiving myself into
thinking I'm getting it off my
chest. Do you think I'm nuts?
RELIEVED
DEAR RELIEVED: No, I
don't think you're nuts. You only
had Indigestion, but now you've
gotten It off your chest. So*
what are you wasting my time
for?
• • #
DEAR AUNT EXEY: Recently
I have come to an awareness,
or maybe I should say I have
reinforced an awareness. There
is a paradox in humanity;
there is a touch of divinity and
a touch of evil. Question I would
like for you to answer is: Which
is the greater?
WONDERING
All Best Dressed
Women Shop At
DEAR WONDERING: This is
a question you most answer
yourself. So must everyman.
CONFIDENTIAL TO DILEMA:
Don't be discouraged by your
plot in life. Make the most of
it. Live it like there is a tomor-
row. Remember if you look back
in anger, you look ahead in
anguish, but if you look back
with satisfaction, you look ahead
with anticipation. But you can't
do both.
nationally-known Baptist evan-
gelist, and Dr. Ferenc Nagy,

of the week's activities.
Wednesday night's program,
the traditional religious empha-
sis program of DIA Week, will

HPC choral director.
Climaxing DIA Week will be
an invitational seminar for high

college will sponsor its first
seminar for Brown County high
school students, a half-day ses-
sion March 14 to be attended by
approximately 75 students. Pur-
pose of this seminar will be to
assist the students to organize
study groups in their own
schools similar to the DIA stu-
dent study groups at HPC.
