Page Two At Our Present Rate We Have No Future! Americans have been worried about problems pertaining to the distant shores of other countries for' many years: While our con cern and sympathies were turned to the world we have for too long ignored the plagues which are being inflicted on our natural en vironment here at home. Recent predictions of the future we are creating for ourselves are more than mere horrors of science fic tion. Scientists have facts to sup port the predictions they have made. We are allowing the condi tion of our air, land, water and wildlife to deteriorate at the hands of the power structure of America. The society which ex ists in this country is in . the pro cess_of destroying the lands that it took by force from a people who, appreciated the gifts of na ture. Consider these conditions which lay in the not too distant future: within the next ten years city-dwellers will have to wear gas masks to _survive the ,air polution and. within the next fifteen years the amount of . sunlight, which warms, the earth, will have_ been diminished by fifty, percent.. Our forest lands have . heen ,ravaged by careless lumber.. companies.. Our shores : have been stained by . the . oil ued . to operate the ma chines of war and the cars which pollute our, air. The lakes we used . . to swim in. are no longer safe due to the 'increase of deadly bacteria in the water. Beautiful clear cool mountain streams, are now, warm and tainted with the detergents ank.mining wastes discarded in to .them.. It is the corporations_ and, - 0:1.e money hungry, pigs, who run .the large companies _who are. at fault , for „this rape of nature.

How 'long they are permitted to carry on this devastation of nature de- pe.nds on how long they can keep pouring out the bullshit to the majority of the public. The cor porations tarrying on with the destruction have so far been able to escape confrontation with the truth of their ways. Reasons for this are: the corporations hire public relations' firms to build them an image which hides what they actually are, the heads of the government agencies which should protect our environment are very often the same men who are on the boards of the compan ies accused of exploiting the land for their own profit, and lastly the public has for a long time fail- ed to realize the extent to which the damage has advanced. Ecology is now emerging as one of the most important political issues of today. The people want the pollution and destruction of their natural resources !stopped now and they are organizing to oppose the persons involved. If the change doesn't come soon, there is reason to believe that just as the civil rights movement has shifted to the militancy of black power, that the ecology movement could also become militant. The Potential for the growth of the ecological !movement is evident and if a change to militancy comes it should occur more rapidly than the change to black power came about. The key to the answer lays ! in the realization that man is man's own worst .en emy and when the majority sees fit to end theclestruction of our surroundings then the destruction will be drawn to a halt. If the majority fails to take any action than it will be up to the "un silent" minority to bring about the changes.

Years ago, men used to delight themselves in fantasies by just imagining 'what their well-clad secretaries would look like in a bathingis . uit. Today men don't haVe the chance to use imagina tion. Today the truth just stares them in the face. Women keep saying to me, "why don't you look at me when I talk to- you?" Well the' truth :of the matter is that if I did look at them, I'd probably have to go to confession or something. And that's another thing. Isn't_ there such a thing as modesty anymore?
