ARTHUR LAN 133 W. Wbileman Yellow Springs JGOLDEN ITOUCH? EDITOR; all ves- ernment. Jobs are 100 per cent more available than governmental agencies would have us relieve.

Business and farmers frequently compl a i about their inability to obtain lelp; certainly it is difficult and expensive to secure mechanically skilled persons, or even women to do.house work. As a matter of fact many of the hard core unemployed don't want to work or they are looking for a job with all pay and no work. After a job has been secured a large percentage of them work only a short period of time and quit. Society does have a responsibility lor the seriously handicapped, physically or mental- who can not be rehabili-. We have lo re learn the dignity of physical labor- muscles were made to be used --even the heart to remain good condition.

Anyone too fastidious to get his hands dirty does not deserve a living. does have a responsibility for providing education, specializ training, development of skills and abilities and iob opportunity. We have never jeeii able to understand why mothers and fathers of large lamilies should expect society lo keep these families. Maybe we would accomplish more by supplying birth control i gadgets, and minor operations than dollars and objectives any program poor must always be: self- respect, initiative, independence, a feeling of usefulness and importance, and economic productivity, possjbly most important self-sustaining.

I think it is lime that our Supreme Court stop backing up those draft (lodgers and draft card burners and put some teelh in Ihe laws to stop it. I have a solution: take people like those to Alcatraz Island, dump them out and tell them when they can back American freedom they will be ought back lo America. CHARLES SPURGEON, 52 Miller. Cedarville. OBJECTIVES ARE BASIC BAN GUNS? BACK LAW! EDITOR: In' the wake of Ihe shooting of Senator Robert Kennedy the clamor has already, started to ban the sale of guns as if it was the' fault of the gun that he was shot.

Let us go back in history before the. gun was invented. Caesar was stabbed to death with diggers and Cain ki 11 Abel -gun. When, a person his in his heart he or she will find a way to accomplish it whether it be by an ax, knife, club or poison or other I just read a few days ago in The Gazette of a man in Florida who was found guilty of poisoning his own children with pestacide they all died; dead as if shot with a gun. Also a year' or two ago a man in Chicago strangled eight nurses- no Also after the assassination of Dr.

King, a music student and his wife were ridi along a street in Cincinnati when a bunch of hoodlums dragged the man and his wife from the car and stabbed him to death and beat up his wife. The hoodlums did nol even know Ihes'e people but they were i which was-cause enough for the I have heard that some of the good Negr of Cincinnati offered a reward for these hoodlums and that so of them have been apprehended. The latest word I have now that the gun used to shoot iobert Kennedy was a stol Anyone who thinks curbing he sale of guns will stop crime certainly misled. The hood- urns and murderers do bother to purchase guns; they ust steal them.

Much has been said of the his ory program at Xenia i chool. There are many points of view, many strenglhs and weaknesses.

The burglar certainly is not modern society. es, from JACK JORDAN, Gazette Editor IT'S A SICK, SICK world and too many seem intent on blaming everybody and everything but themselves, Most frightening- of all, in this climate, is the historical cycle of frustrated peoples who, in desperation, turn to "strong leaders" only to awaken in totalitarianism. To denounce irresponsibility is one thing but then to act without responsibility is far worse. WE FIND OUR BUSINESS has its share of so- called newsmen who place glory ahead of responsibility, too. The recent narcotics sweep in Yellow Springs saw a Cincinnati columnist afterward boasting about having tipped his readers beforehand that "big- news" was about to come about from the Antioch College THE XEMA DAILY GAZETTE Saturday, June 8, im problem.

There is no complete answer. But steps must be taken to determine strict laws the sale of firearms. 1 am an antique gun collector and enjoy my hobby but cannot, let this prevent me fr speaking out against the sale of weapons to the demented and over emotional. We hope that every citizen will face this responsibility now. The future of our country lies in our hands.

Kate up lo it and write your Congressman Clarence J. Brown, 1508 Longworth House Office Washington, D.C., 20515, in support of Ihe immediate need of new laws to restrict the sale of firearms. Dr. and Mrs. WM.

The eacher in a small group is a motivator and guider, though ic can easily become a dicta- or if apalhelic students refuse lake interest. The real power of the lies in the small groups, is here that the student learns he principles and reasons e- lind the facts. It is here that he earns how lo think. It is here hat he deals with the emotions atid attitudes of people. Most 1 mportant of all it is here that ic should be motivated and become involved on a personal wsis.

We don't consider that responible journalism; it's violation of a confidence, if he actually did have the information.

When you endanger law enforcement you jeopardize a system; even if you are 60 miles away from it. THE RECENT PASSING of a longtime Xenian, Ollie Tolle, a week ago, removed a true humorist from our midst. Over the years, Ollie's wit managed to provide laughs of the belly-shaking kind something we could use more. of these days. of my Ollie Tolle favorites was: "When I first came to Xenia, the Court House cannon was only this big (and, he indicated a five or six-inch long object with his fingers) Another credited him with a spontaneous crack at one of those truly superfluous remarks.

As fire engines raced past Ollie and a friend, the one said: "Must be a fire And Ollie commented: "Not necessarily; they have to exercise those things about 30 minutes before using them The best, perhaps, dealt with the time he received room and board for work on a farm. When the farmer awakened him 'at 4 a.m. "to dig onions," Ollie wanted to know if they were wild onions. "Why?" the farmer asked. And Ollie opined: "They must.be if you have to sneak up on 'em in the dark!" ITS A.

SICK, SICK world but not so sick that responsibility and a good American sense of humor can't save. Just thought you'd like to wonder about it, too lew program would have them, lie most beneficial project was he study of open housing, i jrtu'eh students actually went i'n- the surrounding community and talked with homeowners. Jesides a change of pace, the roject gave a student insight-n sight into the actions and hbughts ot other people, espec- ally of a different generation, Vith insight comes understand- ng and tolerance, two needs to lelp humans better get along in his present day world of hatred ind violence. While all projects were dif- erent, they had a strong point vhich was common and neces- ary. They compelled a student forget himself and think ithers, to get involved, to get nit of the stands' and into lie game.

The end result is edu- ation and insight, insight of not nly facts, but of human emo- ions and feelings. What is more lecessary to the existence of a jeaceful society? STEVE DAVIS, 304 Helen Xenia. INCORRECT ARTICLE? EDITOR: As the people who were either involved or concerned with the accident Saturday, June 1, at John Bryan State a we would like to say that the article that appeared in your paper Monday, June 3, on page .3 was incorrect. You staled that Mr. Patterson's car was motioned to a stop jy a patrolman who had stopped lis patrol car.

This is false. Mr. Patterson's car was headed from the pool to camping grounds when the pa- spotted him, turned on his red light, and swerved in front of Mr. Patterson causing him to stop suddenly. A couple of people jumped off and others were thrown from the hood lo ground even though the car was (raveling not over five miles an hour.
