Using an enormous flannel board,
Buescher put the puzzle together
around the theme that every man,
woman and child in this country is
surrounded by three forces -
church, business and government.
He spoke to each of these three
areas, pointing out historical
strengths and noting the in
terrelationships which make up
each “force.”
Speaking of government,
Buescher said, “In a democracy
we either will what happens or
permit it to happen.” He then
quoted the famous Pogo who once
said, “We have met the enemy and
it is us.” Buescher said it is a
government axiom that you should
“always offer to help the poor but
always keep some poor around to
help.”
About inflation, he said, “You
now live on a more expensive farm
but you didn’t have to move.”
Buescher said there are im
provements needed in each area,
noting, “The church has its work
.cut out for it” with rising divorce
and crime rates.”
Saluting farmers, Buescher
pointed out that they are the
largest segment in American
business. He said, “Thank good
ness that you farmers are the most
productive force in the world. You
take on every risk of business plus
the weather. The American farmer
is a great individual.”
