—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 6, 1966 4 From Where We Stand,.. "People Kill People" As one person aptly put it this week “Guns don't kill people; people kill people” The remark was in relation to the controversy raging in Washington on restricting the sale and availability of guns. President Johnson wants a strong measure passed to sooth the wave of public reaction following the Texas massacre, but the Senate does not seem inclined to give it to him. We’re with the Senators. While some measure of control is probably needed, 99.999 percent of the people who own or buy guns do not go around killing people with them. The place for more control is on the so-called “lunatic fringe”, and this represents very few of the total number of people with mental disturbances Patients with known severe anti social tendencies, known to their doc tors, that is. should be kept under surveilance For .example, the college student in Texas who gunned down all those people on Monday had told his psychiatrist exactly what he planned to do several months earlier at least according to the psychiatrist He had apparently planned it all out well in ■advance Why this wasn’t reported to the authorities by the doctor is a ques tion that should be probed. And, of course, deranged violence is not confined to expression through guns alone But time after time in the past few years reports of violence are ■accompanied by descriptions of a kill er with a history of mental disorders Doctors and hospitals would not be neglecting the privacy of the doctor-pat- Farm Calendar August B—Bth to 10th, State 4-H Days at Penn State Uni veisily —8 p m, DHIA diiectois and supeivisois joint meet ing at Faim Ciedit Bldg, Lancastei August 11—10 a vn.

In fact, they might thereby save many innocent lives. And premature discharge of such patients is an area that demands investi gation. Too many socially unacceptable patients are being turned loose upon society these days; again, look at. the record. So it’s unstable people, not guns, that we should seek to control. Early Frost? A local weather sage predicted frost by mid-September this week. He based his forecast on the old saying that “when the katydids begin to sing, it’s six weeks to the first frost”. And he said the katydids began to sing last Sunday night. Whether Katy did or Katy didn’t, and whether, if she did, it will or will not, we can only guess But, noticing the calendar, we see the next full moon will occur two weeks before mid-Septem ber, but the end of August would ba a little early for frost in this area; guess we’d better go with the katydid theory At any rate, a couple of mornings this week almost felt like frosty autumn in comparison with those 80 degree a m’s we had a few weeks ago, didn’t they? ★ ★ ★ ★ And Speaking Of inflation . . . “While the Congress is considering mislabeling, wouldn’t the dollar be a good place to start 9 ” (Sen Cotton, New Hampshire) O Inter-State (Continued fiom Page 1) mg amusement-nding crowd “Intel-State will continue to woik foi the nandlei pool,” he said Actions taken by the co opoiative because of the using cost of pioduemg milk, and the iceent di ought conditions, lesulted in an inciease of 40 cents pei hundxed weight ovei last yeai to the dany farmeis in all markets “But even the pi ice we now have may not be enough to keep the milk flow ing fiom the faims,” Honan said Farmers will have seven 01 eight peieent higher income in 1966, but this will not nec essarily mean a higher net income, due to increasing faim expenses With drought and labor pioblems we may get sh" ' LANCASTER COUNTY INTER-STATE MILK PRODUCERS DIRECTORS Robert McSparran, Peach Bottom, District 3 (center), and Melvin Brendle, East Earl, District 6 (right), discuss the program with Dr. James Honan, general manager of the cooperative.
