Gentlemen: The Plano High School Baccalaureate services and Graduation ceremonies last weekend were works of Students Graduate From Tulsa Two students from Plano, were among 1352 students receiving degrees during the University of 78th annual commencement exercises, held recently on the campus. The students, their ad dresses and degrees earned are Michael Allen Knowles of 1905 Midcrest a bachelor of science degree in sociology; and Isabel May McIntosh of 1609 Lakeside, a bachelor of science degree in anthropology beauty. While attending, it dawned on me what Plano High School is all about.

Plano, it seems, has a spirit of excellence in everything it undertakes whether it be the athletic teams, the high caliber of teaching, or such activities as the Baccalaureate and Graduation Mr Barney Newton, Principal of the school, must be justly proud of the achievements of his school and the spirit of excellence that the graduating seniors will carry with them through the rest of their lives. As parents and as relatively new residents of the area, we are proud to be a part of the Plano school system. Sincerely, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest H.

JIM COLLINS U.S. Congressman Free enterprise has been the foundation upon which America's greatness has been huilf.

And just as any building jeopardized when its foundation becomes weak and cracked, so will our nation's economy be severely damaged if we continue to allow Big Govern men I to erode the strength and vitality of the free enterprise system. Due form currently being used to sap the strength of business is overregulation In the federal government I find it surprising that 56 percent of the American public to a study conducted by Compton Advertising Inc.) want more government regulation. Government intervention and regulation of business can only serve to hamper production and stifle economic growth. Business presently spends $18 billion per year on paperwork alone Most victimized by this Hood of paperwork are small businesses, which must spend an average of 21 weeks filing federal forms GAD reported that it cost the government $15 billion to process these forms in 1973. and estimates of costs to consumers total at least $24 billion every year Bureaucratic regulation has proven to be one of the greatest roadblocks to productivity in this country Wage and price controls last year created disastrous shortages and inefficiency.

The ICC currently maintains 40 trillion rates and 400,000 new tariff schedules telling transportation what it must charge. The Environmental Protection Agency is currently calling for air quality controls which will cost Texas industry an initial $300 million and will require a 20-percent cut back in industrial production. DSHA. which cost business $3.1 billion in 1974, is now proposing control standards which could cost up to $31 billion. Businesses are currently paying consulting firms Original Students Celebrate Shepard Elementary School of Plano has graduated its original first graders lost week The school, which has been in operation for five years, was the scene last week of a farewell party for fifth graders who began their school careers the first year of existence.

Our oil and gas industry is being regulated to the point of absurdity. And now the Congress has passed strip mining legislation which will eliminate 36,000 jobs during the first year and will drastically reduce coal production during a time when we desperately need increased production. Another disastrous effect of Big Government on business is that a large federal deficit (usually due to the additions in the regulatory bureaucracy and programs) drains the available capital out of the private sector. In the first quarter of 1974, business investments totalled $210 billion.

By the first quarter of 1975, business investments had dropped $50 billion to $163 billion. Capital is needed for business investment and expansion. When the federal government enters the market to compete with private borrowers, capital is diminished and interest rates rise. High interest rates virtually cripple the housing industry, as well as small businesses. And without expansion in the business community, unemployment rises.

It is a myth that Big Brother Government can do everything for all the people. -A pol am 11 Discount SALE Primitives Furniture Glassware Wood type Old Fashioned Children's Books C'r li-oiff 14 vf 8 5 'SAX iCHp i A o- Citizens Bank Center, North Centra) Expressway 4 Belt Line Richardson, Texas 75080 (214) 231-7171 FDIC Long DRESSES OFF REGULAR PRICE New Sale Items Added To Our COORDINATE GROUP 20 50 house of fashion 2508 Plano Plaza 14th St. 424-0498.
