The Presi- dent obviously is determined to do what he can toward re- structuring government to make it trimmer and more ef- fective, Already there are those who are criticizing this action as one more example of the Exe- cutive Branch taking power away from Congress. The claim is that Congress should be g ven some say in how the government gets changed. But such criticism ignores the fact that the President pre- sented Congress with a com- plete reorganization plan many months ago. It was a plan to combine some departments & agencies to make them job- oriented instead of special in- West Main and New Haven Streets MOUNT JOY, PENNA. Fa) ED ESHLEMAN'S ~ WASHINGTON REPORT Congress ignored that re- organ zation plan. And per- haps the main reason why the plan gathered dust on Capitol Hill is more disturbing than the fact that the House and Senate refused to act. The reason for inaction was that certain powerful Mem- bers of Congress did not want to have to make the adjust- ments on Capitol Hill that would be necessary if reorg- anization became a reality. The committees of Congress are arranged to handle legis- lation affecting specific de- partments of the Executive Branch, For instance, most of the work of the House Inter- ior and Insular Affairs Com- mittee is related to the Dept. of the Interior.

AMENT, Assistant Cashier | ROBERT P. McGINLEY MARTIN S. MUSSER CLARENCE S. NEWCOMER parts of it were assigned to one or more new super-de- partments, the committee structure on Capitol Hill would have to respond accor- dingly. New committees with new names and possibly new leadership would lave to be formed. It is that last point — the possibility of new leadership — that worries the powers in Congress. They are not about to support anything, no mat- ter how important, that threa- tens the'r own positions. Thus, the President’s call for reorganization months ago was lost to the selfish concern of a few powerful men who run things on Capitol Hill What is disturbing about that fact is that Congress was wil- ling to maintain the status quo regardless of the cost—in this case, cost measured in wasted tax dollars and continued government inefficiency, Now, some of the people who blocked consideration of reorganization throughout the 92nd Congress have the nerve to suggest that the President is ignoring Congress in his attempts to do some re- organizing on his own. Cong- ress had its chance and prov- ed unequal to the task. Presi- dent Nixon has decided that the task is important enough to move forward while Cong- ress stands still. We can hope that the Presi- dent’s determination to go ahead with as much reorgan- ization as he can do himself will shake loose the overall re-structuring of the Federal overnment in the Congress. Instead of complainmg about losing power to the President, the Congress should show it- self willing to change with the times. INVITATION One person at 20 feels that life is passing him by. Anoth- er at 70 is right in the thick of it. Why is this so? There is no standard of age or health or prosperity or any- thing else to bar some and admit others, Life has a stan- ding invitation out to every- one, But an invitation is just that. It lets you know where the party is and that you are welcome. It does not take you by the neck and drag you there. You are invited to life, but you have to accept. You have to go where it is happen- ing. VALUES All really great teachers, past and present, urge us to decide on a system of values by which we want to live and then live by that system. To do otherwise is to find ourself walking through a forest with ort the slightest notion of which path we will take. A value system that includes fai'h, courage, honesty, loyalty and the determination to keep grow ng should be treated as a fine tool, to be sharpened often and used carefully. Then it will work for you every day and skillfully guide you through every life situation. LOVE When I was a child we brought our walentines to schonl and the teacher hand- ed them out for us. I remem- ber one time. looking around the room and seeing the faces of a few of the children who received no valentine at all; there was undisguised pain and disapvointment, I have often wished that I had brought some extra valentines so no child would be left out, A part of love is caring for those close to us, but it also includes a keen awareness of the needs of some who aren’t so close, and doing what we can to help them fulfill their need. —Rosemary Rhea The Mormon church holds that man’s status on earth is determined by his actions in pre-existence with God.
