This sense of fairness also extends into business and politics. However, sometimes when our emotions overcome our reason, we forget to be fair. For instance, if means government by consent of the far- reacSiing changes, such as suggested in Compulsory Health Tax Bills, these facts should be considered: Surreys sliow tliaC tlie vast mafority of our people do not want Federal control of cal service, schools or churches; the vast majority of our Doctors want no Federalized controls, to hamper them in service to their patienu; great numbers of our people ciosely ally their religious beliefs with the handling of their own personal and should certainly not be compelled to a service they would not use. American sense of fair play says: Allow no minority pressure groups to force through legislation that IGNORES thtse facts. Harrell's Cent-ral Walgreen Drug Prescription 101 E.
