More Will Live HEART MONTH : When a Heart Fund Volunteer calls at your home in observance of Heart Sunday, it is our hope that the thought running through your mind will be somewhat as follows: earlier Heart Fund drives have been used wisely and effectively. They have now begun to yield im- portant dividends. Achievements to date show why it is important for me to continue to support the Heart Fund." It would require a great deal of space to list all: the achievements which Heart Fund dollars have helped to~develop since the first Heart Fund campaign. Here are just a few of the highlighs: 1. Thanks to significant advances in diagnosis and treatment, a higher percentage of heart attack victims are recovering from first attacks and returning to their jobs. i The War It is fashionable in the North Amer- ica of today to speak well about " a war economy." . This is hardly surprising. Americans and Canadians are still en- _joying unprecedented prosperity, part- ly because of the demands of the arms ployment is high, and skilled jobs are difficult to fill. fense continues to mount. President Lyndon Johnson has just announced that next year's defense budget will top $77-billion--which will be $1-billion 'more than the total U.S. budget expen- ditures of 1958. This means that in a matter of a decade, Americans have been persuaded to pay more for their armed forces, for bombs and rockets - and napalm, than they spent in 1958 on everything from social services and ed- ucation to defense, housing and the vast machinery of government. --Admittedy, inflation has cut back to » some. exent the value of the dollar, but 1968 U.S. defense estimates of $77-bil- lion -- a rise of $5-billion over the cur- rent year--still boggles the mind. This represents more than seven times the $10-billion which all- the-world's devel- oped countries, including the Communist states, spend on helping the emerging - nations by sending them aid, credits or development capital. The moral aspects of the question are ~ vital, of course, because whereas a war AAA A A A AS EC SS SSS SS SE TX) 4 PORT PERRY STAR CO., LIMITED Serving Port Perry, Brooklin and Surrounding Areas [ / / [J [4 / / / ' / ' ' ' ' / / / ' J P.

Economy economy might help the developed coun- 'tries to grow richer for a temporary period, there is little doubt that in the process, the poorer nations continue to grow poorer on a per capita basis. But quite apart from the matter of moral- ity; the problem arises of how long the United States can afford to wage an open-ended war in a distant continent. American officials have estimated that to date it is costing the nation about $250,000 for every Viet Cong guerrilla killed in South Vietnam. And if one looks at the poverty and misery of Asia, it becomes obvious that a large .' percentage of the 1,800,000,000 Asians are potential revolutionaries, dissatis- fied with the status quo. Some look to communism, others to socialism to solve ~ their daily economic headaches. Only the comparatively well-to-do Asians be- lieve that American-style capitalism in time will solve the misery of the masses. --Board of Evangelism and Social Services, United Church, MORE ON EDUCATION This was supposed to be part two of a series on education in this country. Last week, 1 complained about: obsolenscence; the lack of everything but pupils; the unfairness of the fund raising for education; the lack of any national standards; and the rigidity of practi- cally everything in the system. Not bad for In all the years I wrote this column before I began peddling pedagogy, nobody tried to suppress my opinions here. . Many disagreed violently. Others threatened to cancel their' subscriptions, Some said I was vulgar. And one reverend gentleman even offered to thrash me within an inch of my life. I re. "minded him that my big brother was a six- foot-two, 210-pound engineer, and I never heard another word.

And I sure as hell am not going to shine my shoes two days in a row. : Just another of the evils of our system.
