COUNTRY EDITOR
By H M BAGGARLY
one fourth of the people who have been born since the creation
of man are now living Only about 10 billion persons have been born
Its a frightening thought when one reflects on the accelerated Increase
we can expect during our own lifetimes
Remember the old gag which Illustrates what happens when you
start working for ono cent a day but have your salary doubled everydaycouNtnr ioiioi
REE ENTERPRISE Is an expression which in most circles is
breathed with approximately the same degree of reverence as
that accorded Deity mother and home And that is fine Free enterprise
when given the same definition it once had is a fundamental
component of our democratic society
Yet those who have the most to say about free enterprise particularly
about alleged trends away from it are often doing more
than anyone else Ho destroy it
COUNTHY IDITOI
IS WRONG with our practice of free enterprise when
SOMETHING
men with ability find it unprofitable If not Impossible to own
their own little Independent businesses when they find that they
must join big business or be devoured by big business Yet in millions
of instances this is true
It is true in Tulia It is true in New York or Detroit
The trend is Get big or perish
It is said that cne of the three big American auto makers is
considered too small to survive One opinion is that the two biggest
with a small auto price cut could put the third out any time they
desired
COUNW tOITOH
SMALLTOWN people arent altogether blameless They mouth
AND
free enterprise then by their actions oppose the profit motive
They say they want free enterprise then let the corner grocery the
small auto dealer and the independent grocer go bankrupt while they
hustle off to the discount house In the city If they trade at home
they look for a place where they can get it wholesale or at a
price which docs not allow a fair margin of profit
They say they believe in free enterprise then do everything they
can to eliminate the middle man
COUN r IDITOI
LAST TIME we pointed out the position of the independent
THE
food market operator who tries to compete with the big food
chains wo wore challenged by the Texas Farm Bureau which pointed
out the efficiency in doing business on the scale of AP over smaller
operations Wc were accused of trying to hold on to the horse and
buggy philosophy In aa age of the automobile and airplane
Wc will not argue the point Perhaps it would be more efficient
to Wipe out our local food store and ihave ono big AP store Perhaps
it would be more offtclent to wipe out our 1200 or more farmers
and substitute a system of corporate farming in which about four
big operator ono for each precinct took over The present farmers
many of thorn could hire out to these targe operators Those not
needed those eliminated by the increatcd efficiency could go to he
cities and jet Job No doubt much leu machinery would be lerdcd
if we coofOUdated furmujg operations to there would be added cf
ftoleaey
Tfee are many Other things that could be eliminated or ttc
sake o bonuses efflojaacy There really is no basu rtunemic necessity

During the past 15 years Swisher
county has had several polio patients
whose treatment has been prolonged
and costly For this reason the
county has consistently received
more funds from the National Foundation
than it has contributed
through the March of Dimes
In effect Swisher county has been
subsidized by the National Founda
ionTo
To complicate the countys financial
woes it Is now 1900 in the
red the 1961 March of Dimes drive
fell far short of its normal goal

recently mentioned Swisher

official visit with Randall county
foundation officials As a result Ran
dall county has presented Swisher
with a check for 1000 to apply on
