January 21,1976 CLINTON COUNTY NEWS, ST. JOHNS, MICHIGAN

Dear Editor: ' N I always read with pleasure the activities of the senior citizens. Now I hear that in St. Johns and other communities, they are being served a free dinneronce a week. I think any senior.citizen who is able to brave the cold and snow is able to get their dinner at home (Ido not mean the ones who are not able, to prepare their own meals). ' We may say the meal is given us by the''government. First, who is the government? Let us study the financial straits of New York City. Poor bookkeeping giving all city employees free Dr. and hospital care, many other fringe benefits. Young student scholarships. After a few years of this, the city could not meet their payroll. Then we all know what happened. Now briefly look at Great Britain who was rated the greatest nation on earth. It was an all-encompassing welfare program-- including a free medical program. Even sub­ sidized transportation etc. Now its standard of living is much lower than other European countries. Vastly lower than the U.S. The state of affairs was not brought on by war or natural disasters.

Briefly, it 'is a socialist government. Don't say it cannot happen in the U.S. Our government was established', by well educated God fearing and hard working men (not women) who are willing to give.theh* all to live in freedom. Many of them lost all AT KURT'S APPLIANCE their property. Some lost sons in the Revolutionary War. I remember some years back some well-meaning people thought we should copy Great Britain. Now that is' socialism. Thank God our government did not copy Great Britain. I think President Ford, his cabinet and congress had better celebrate 1976 by less extravagence, talk less about the billions they are handing other nations.
