=|)! WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, WASHINGTON REPORT Congressman Edwin D. Eshleman 4 16th District—Pennsylvania In the weeks ahead, Cong- ress likely will have a pro- longed and bitter debate a- bout defense spending. There will. be much talk about re- ordering priorities, the mili- tary-industrial complex and the cost of building new weapons systems, This, of course, is not a new debate, but if the history of the re- cent vast is any guide, it is a debate where the real issue will be obscured. The real issue is this: How much defense is enough? No reasonable American can be- lieve seriously that we can get along in today’s world without any defense estab- lishment, Therefore, the de- bate should center on the matter of how much military strength is necessary to guar- antee national survival and security. There is no basic value in maintaining extensive mili- tary forces or in developing costly weapons. A country with peaceful intentions can- not justify armed might that is greater than that which is needed for its own security. But, decisions about how many men are needed, how sophiscated weapons must be and how large the defense establishment must become, cannot be determined by the mere consideration of domes- tic priorities. Those decisions have to be the result of an evaluation of the power re- lationships within which the Nation must operate, No country can conduct an effective foreign policy with- out a military capability which is appropriate to its responsibilities. And no coun- try which is unprepared to exercise its responsibilities can long expect to keep its own borders secure. President Nixon has sum- med up our responsibilities and our defense needs in these terms: “We do not seek power as an end in itself. We seek power adequate to our purpose, and our purpose is peace.” Therefore, we must seek a defense policy which keeps America ready and strong. Military power is not a lux- ury but a necessity. As long as we live in a world where some nations desire to dom- inate others, we have no oth- er choice in the matter of maintaining a defense capa- bility adequate to assure our survival. Great nations can- not retire from the world, They must live in the know- ledge that can be no peace unless they have the power and the will to defend it. On the other hand, our Lions and Rotary In Joint Meeting Miss Linda Odum, of Lan- caster, talking about the Mod- el City Program in that com- munity, was the speaker Tuesday night, Oct. 5, at the annual Lions-Rotary joint- club dinner, held at Hostet- ters. Robert Greider, Lions club president, was in charge. He introduced Rotary President R. F. Hallgren, who spoke briefly. Miss Odom warned that her subject is controversial but she explained some of the facets of the program as it attempts to help disadvan- taged people. Two main aven- ues of approach, she said, are through education and economic development, This federal aid comes di- rectly to the community, she pointed out and is administ- ered by the municipal gov- ernment, which is a different approach to the problem. Miss Odom was introduced by Charles Ashenfelter. During the evening, the Donegal high school Wood- wind ensemble, composed of Mollie Fry, David Howell, Julia Meszaros, Cindy Myers and Nancy Roland, played several numbers, 1971 policy should recognize that America has no need for too much defense. As many of our resources and energies as possible must be released to meet domestic problems. The Nixon Administration has moved the nation toward meeting this goal. In real dollars, nearly four billion dollars have been cut from defense spending since the last Johnson Administration budget. When the impact of inflation is considered, the savings actually add up to more than 10 billion dollars. It is also significant that in the new Fiscal Year, 1972, THE BULLETIN, MOUNT JOY, PA. EDITORIAL Salute the Firemen the Nixon proposal is to cut defense appropriations to 34 cents out of every Federal dollar, As recently as Fiscal 1968, defense has absorbed 35 cents of each dollar. These cuts have not been at the expense of national strength, But because some savings can be compatible with maintaining adequate military power does not mean that all the cuts pro- posed by defense critics can be accomplished without un- dermining our security. The fact is that the military has already been cut, and there are serious questions about whether it can be safely re duced by much more. That is something which Congress should not ignore regardless of how politically charged the debate over defense spen- ding becomes, Donegal School Menus D.H.S. & JR.

Jesus Movement To Hold Meeting The “Jesus Movement” that is sweeping America and is growing rapidly in Lancast- er county will come to Salun- ga-Landisville on Wednesday evening, Oct. 13. Rev.

Both have long and successful histories of achievement for the community. Both have serv- ed their friends and neighbors with high merit and over the years have made the entire community a better place in which to live. Friendship company this week officially will house its fine, new combination pumper. Within the next few months, Florin company, too, will be accepting delivery of a new truck. Firemen have responded to community needs and this week is a splendid time to say thank you to both organizations, Thank youl! Tackle their Problem In Quarryville, last week, a new medical cen- ter opened its doors to serve the people of that area and to provide virtually full-time medical assistance. Under the guidance of the Lancaster General hospital, the new center will be staffed with five doctors, operating from an office in the parsonage of the St. Paul’s United Church of Christ and will be immediately available to some 27,500 people. Southern Lancaster County felt a need, met the challenge and now has vastly improved its total welfare. A community which tackles its basic prob- lems as realistically as the south of Lancaster is to be congratulated. ALTERING BOOKS Some U. S. publishers have bowed to pressure from female militants and women’s lib move- ments and begun to alter the traditional role of women in children’s books. Intensive letter-writ- ing campaigns from organized groups have influ- enced some publishers. “ The idea is to change the image of mother from the traditional one of homemaking, wife and mother to something more in keeping with theor- ies of women’s lib exponents. While women should have the right to follow what ever path they choose, changing traditional images to meet radical movements and fads may prove costly to the nation and to book manufact- urers. Centuries have gone into making of the traditionally accepted and respected role of moth- ers. Departures from the role, less intensive care of children and mothers’ absence from the home, have produced record problems and crime among today’s youth. The trend among American females, to spend less time in the home, toward more aggressiveness and less feminity has already been in progress for several decades and has produced more di- vorce, alcoholism and psychiatric cases than the nation or its children can cope with. Portraying this trend as normal, good or wholesome, in chil- dren’s books, is surely a disservice. —Ephrata Review REMEDY Life situtions may be complicated by trying to ap- ply the wrong remedy. When we have perplexity it is helpful to ask ourself some penetrating questions: “Am I trying to run away or escape? Am I giving enough thought to how others will be affected? Have 1 earnestly searched my own consciousness to see what I am doing to help myself? Have I quietly listened for the inner guidance that will show me the right course of action?” Perplexity and problems cannot be avoid- ed, but they can be dissolved by applying the right remedy.
