POW-$10 MillionSwap Proposed by Hope By LEON DANIEL BANGKOK (UPD-Comedian Bob Hope said today he had requested a North Vietnamese visa so he could go to Hanoi and try to negotiate the release of American prisoners of war in a deal involving $10 million. Hope made a surprise visit today to Vientiane, the capital of Laos, and conferred for an hour and 20 minutes with Nguyen Van Tranh, first secretary of the North Vietna- mese embassy there. Hope said he asked Tranh if he would "arrange a visa for me." Hope, whose personal fortune is estimated at $200 million, said Tranh told him "he would have to get with the foreign minister and he would let me know." He made the statement in an interview tonight in his hotel room in Bangkok an hour after his plane returned from Vientiane. Asked what he would do in Hanoi, Hope said, "I think I could make them a proposi- tion." He was asked what sort of a proposition. "A financial proposition," Hope replied. Asked how much money would be involved, Hope said, "I was thinking in the neighborhood of $10 million." Hope said he suggested that perhaps he could raise the money for a charity for children in North Vietnam by putting on a show. "I suggested this charity thing, that I'd like to make some sort of a deal," Hope said. Asked how Tranh received this suggestion, Hope replied, "He didn't give me anything definite about it." He said he was hopeful he would receive the visa he requested and would be able to visit the American POWs. "I feel pretty good about it right now," he said. "I just might get lucky. We're going to find out in a couple of days." Hope and his 75-membef Christmas show troupe are staying in Bangkok and making daily shuttle flights to South Vietnam to entertain American GIs. Hope said the idea to visit North Vietnam was his o#n and he had not previously discussed it with any U.S. government officials. He acknowledged, however, that when lie ex- pressed his desire to go to Vientiane U.S. officials In Bangkok helped him set up the trip. Hope said Tranh commented during the interview that he had once seen a movie iti which Hope befriended a Vietnamese child. "I think that had something to do with my getting to see (Turn to Page 4A, Column 2) The Region's Leading News Source "// all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and, only one person were of the con- trary opinion mankind would be no more justified in silenc- ing tliat one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing man- kind."

Another such attack 82 miles from Hanoi Wednes- day had been reported earlier. Both attacks were made by planes escorting U.S. bombers operating over northeast Laos.

Although the U.S. Command said it was,"a protective reac- tion against the hostile actions of an enemy air defense radar site," other sources reported that the radar was not one that could control the firing of sur- face-to-air- missiles or antiair- craft guns.

Prime Minister Jack Lynch's government sent its troops into the little town of Ballyshannon after rioters threatened to over- whelm 300 police and release three leaders of the outlawed Irish Republican Army who had been arrested. The president of Sinn Fein, the IRA's legal political affil- iate, called the arrest of the three men "a blatant act of col- laboration with the British," who have been urging Lynch to crack down on the guerrillas battling British forces in North- ern Ireland. Ballyshannon : is a small port and market town in County Donegal, on Ireland's northwest coast at a point where the re- public narrows to a five - mile strip between Northern Ireland and the Atlantic. It is a base for IRA men fighting to unite Northern Ireland with the re- public. On Wednesday, the police raided the homes of IRA men throughout Donegal searching for arms. They arrested three men, among them Joe O'Neill, a leader of the IRA's militant Provisional faction, and took them to Ballyshannon, where they were held on charges of illegal possession of firearms. The IRA in retaliation took over the town, forcing stores to close at the height of the Christmas rush and blocking the main roaa to the south Crowds besieged the police de- pot, threatening to overwhelm the 14-man force barricaded in- side with the captives. The IRA withdrew after five hours, and the government sen in police reinforcements. Bui mob violence broke out during the night and continued unti the army moved in and dis persed the crowds. There was no shooting, and no serious in- juries were reported. Across the border in North- ern Ireland, bombs damaged a bank and a bar in the center ol Londonderry, but there were no casualties. British troops came under fire in the Ardoyne district oi West Belfast and claimed they hit one gunman.

CRAFT , WASHINGTON (AP) - A consumer advocate in Congress claims that Better Business Bu- reaus are dominated by big corporations and offer little val- ue to millions of buyers who re- ly on them. The 139 local BBBs are "trapped in an almost insur- mountable conflict of interest" between serving consumers— with more than eight million telephone and mail contacts last year—and gaining financial support from more than 150,000 member firms, Rep. Benjamin .JJJS. Rosenthal said Wednesday. The New York Democrat, in a 27,000-word report, said: "By every objective standard, BBBs serve as agents of the business of that community the consumer move- and government regu- of anticonsumer prac- biases against ment lation tices in the marketplace." The Council of Better Busi- ness B; ' .'3us had no comment. The Rostmthal report, a pri- vate study financed by the con- gressman, stems from research this summer by Dean Rose- nbach, a senior law student at New York University. It said programs BBB "are consumer-aid motivated, in the main, by a desire to forest- all governmental intervention in the marketplace and to cool the anger of aggrieved con- sumers against the business community." BBBs, tracing their history from vigilance committees, set community and reflect all the i up in 1912, "probably Hsave more contact with consumers than all other private and gov- ernmental consumer organ- izations combined," the report said. But the quality of BBB phone reports to consumers, the re port said, "is extremely poor," with most reports "misleading, inaccurate, incomplete and couched in vague generalities. "Erroneous and incomplete reports on the integrity anc reliability of business firms lull consumers into a false sense oi security and sometimes lead to costly experiences with dis- reputable firms." There is "substantial evi- dence that BBBs frequently op- pose the enactment of new con- sumer protection laws and tha they often work behind the scenes to defeat such legisla- tion," the report said. Second Grader Runs Miles to Summon Help BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - His pregnant mother ill and no )hone available in their little community of mountain homes west of here, 8-year-old Jimmy Evans ran three miles through leavy snows to summon help. "If he hadn't gotten help, I probably wouldn't have made It," Mrs. James Evans said Wednesday from her bed in Boulder Memorial Hospital. Jimmy, a second grader, ran down the Left Hand Canyon Road Monday trying to find a neighbor whose phone service had not been knocked out by the weekend's bad weather. One distant neighbor, George Sibley, offered to get Jimmy to a telephone but the boy, trained not to ride with stran- gers, ran back home to ask his mother's permission before rac- ing back to accept Sibley's of- fer. Finally Jimmy reached his father on the phone and the el- der Evans drove home and took his wife to the hospital. "It was one of the most re- markable things I've ever seen a boy do," said Sibley. prior to the erection of a. .new ore processing plant designed to meet the strictest anti-pollution standards. The company estimated the pilot refinery would cost $500,- 000. It said the pilot plant will enable it to utilize a new pro- cess for refining base and previous metaifores. -It Said the new-process holds pollution to a minimum. The company added that it expects to begin construction of the full scale plant next spring in Leadville. Temporary Surge' of Living Costs Forecast By BILL NEIKIRK WASHINGTON (AP) - After claiming success for trimming the rate of inflation during the wage-price rent freeze, the Nix- on administration is now brac- ing for a temporary surge in the cost of living. President Nixon's economic advisers say they fully expect the inflation surge to take place as the nation's economy moves through the transition from freeze to thaw. The nation will get its first glimpse of how extensive the inflation acceleration is when the Consumer Price Index for December is released next month. Although Nixon's economists say the price stepup should be temporary, they are worried about the length and size of the jsurge, fearing it could lead the (nation back into an inflationary psychology. During the period roughly corresponding to the freeze, the three months ending in Novem- ber, the Consumer Price Index advanced by 1.7 per cent, after increasing by 4 per cent during the previous three months. "Encouraging," the Cost of Living Council said in a state- ment. "The program has been a success," said Labor Secretary James D. Hodgson. "The out- look is a better year for the av- erage consumer." But, first, the council said, consumers will have to wait a few months for that better out- look. . '.'-* :i ; "The price adjustments which have accompanied the transition from the freeze to the system of wage-price con trols could result in larger in- creases in the Consumer Price Index over the coming months, reflecting some of the pres- sures which built up during the freeze," the council said. "However, a somewhat niore rapid increase in the GjM which is anticipated during fhe first few months of the post-freeze program would not be incon- sistent with the achievement of the administration's goal of re- ducing the rate of inflation by 50 per cent at the end of 1972."

"Encouraging," the Cost ofLiving Council said in a state-ment.

"The program has been asuccess," said Labor SecretaryJames D. Hodgson. "The out-look is a better year for the av-

consumers will have to wait afew months for that better out-look. . '.'-*:i;

"The price adjustmentswhich have accompanied thetransition from the freeze tothe system of wage-price controls could result in larger in-creases in the Consumer PriceIndex over the coming months,reflecting some of the pres-sures which built up during thefreeze," the council said.

"However, a somewhat niorerapid increase in the GjM whichis anticipated during fhe firstfew months of the post-freezeprogram would not be incon-sistent with the achievement ofthe administration's goal of re-ducing the rate of inflation by50 per cent at the end of 1972."

away from Colorado Springscustomers by arbitrarily pas-sing an additional one percentsales tax. As a result another$3,500,000 per year will be spentas decided by government fun-ctionaries who did not earn thissum—irtstead of by individualswho did earn it.

Just because customers inother cities have lost this much

or more freedom of choice as thow to spend their own assetsis no justification for our losingthat much more freedom.

We should strive to be tbmost free city in the worldLet's not just follow the trenclike sheep toward complete government domination of everything an individual does.

That's the spirit which builiour country. That's the spiriwe are rapidly losing in the cityof Colorado Springs, the state 01C o l o r a d o and these UnitedStates. '

Down the 'Memory Hole'In George Orwell's book,

"1984," a prophetic projectionof life under a dictatorial re-gime a dozen years from now,the government was alwaysright.

-• How was that managed?'*•' those who are not acquainted... •< with Orwell's biting, chilling sa-^, t i r e might well ask. Had^bureaucrats somehow evolved

into omnipotent, god-like, infal-lible creatures?

Well, not exactly. The featwas accomplished by simply ob-liberating anything and every-

r thing that differed with the la-"'J test official pronouncement by"""' the consignment of all offending;;". matter to the "Memory Hole,"'* a chute leading to an incinera-

tor in the basement of the' . "Ministry of Truth." History

•".'! was continually being rewrittenJ'lb- to the extent, that all copies of

printed matter containing infor-x - ' mation at variance with the la-••" test government version of truth• '•"'• were meticulously hunted down""' and .fed into the "Memory

Hole." The fact that the govern-the only publishertracking-down and

« ment was'made the' rewriting easier, of course.• For instance, in "1984," all

accounts of an event in which.people had the temerity to op-pose a governmental viewpoint,such as the recent defeat of theCivic Center bonds here in theSprings, would be searched outand destroyed. Thus, the eventnever happened, you see.

And, naturally, an individualwho was so unwise as to orallye x p r e s s ah anti-governmentt h o u g h t or conviction was

swiftly shown the error of hisways. This was accomplished bythe simple expedient of extermi-nation or, if the offending indi-vidual was thought to havesome value to the State, by pro-cess of brainwashing. In the lat-ter event, for the individual tomerely admit that he waswrong was not considered suf-ficient; he had to be made tobelieve it, himself. The "Min-istry of Truth" had ways of tak-ing care of this, too; likestrapping a caged rat to the'ace of an offender whose "file"showed that he was 'deathly af-raid of rats.

But, anyway, we,couldn't helprecalling Orwell's book, with itsamazingly accurate predictions,when reading an item hi the De-cember 27 issue of U.S. Newsand World Report now going onthe newsstands.

According to the item, thestaffs of former Supreme CourtJustices, John M. .Harlan andthe late Hugo Black, are now inthe process of burning all thenotes made by the two Justicesduring their years on1 the HighCourt. This has become generalpractice, the item revealed,since'a Justice turned his notesover to a law clerk severalyears ago and the clerk thenwrote and published a bookwhich described in minute de-tail the inner workings of theCourt.

It all makes one wonder justwhat goes on in the .inner sanc-tum that the taxpayers, who>ay the Justices' salaries, can-not be trusted to see?

Charity and the Welfare StateBy BRIAN SUMMERS

(The Freeman)Charity is a virtuous act of

conscience whereby an indivi-dual voluntarily gives of himselfin the belief that he is helpinghis fellow men. Neither thepsyche of the benefactor nor themerits of his beneficiary needconcern us here. The point isthat an act of charity is a wil-lful deed of an individualprodded only by his concern forothers.

It is in this light that the Wel-fare State appears most ob-scene, for it replaces charitywith the confiscation and redist-ribution of wealth. This is notcharity because there are be-neficiaries with no correspond-ing benefactors! The taxpayersas a group are not the benefac-tor because collectives can'thave consciences any more thanthey can have headaches. Indi-viduals and only individuals canhave consciences. The voluntarybestowers of charity are re-placed with involuntary payersof taxes, many of whom nowcontemplate their own trips tothe feeding place. The benefici-aries, no longer having any in-dividuals to thank for theirgains, come to view them nolonger as gifts, but as "rights."Thus does the Welfare State re-place the noble acts of indivi-duals gratuitously aiding oneanother with a demoralizingconfiscation of private propertyand an immoral, ever-swellingcrush at the trough.

Aside from this corrupting in-fluence of tbe Welfare State,there is the more pragmaticmatter of selecting the benefi-ciaries. A charitable person willusually carefully screen the can-didates, After all, it is his own

property that he is giving away.Not so the bureaucrats of theWelfare State. They are dolingout the confiscated property ofothers, and are thus not moti-vated to be so choosy. They actaccordingly.

Could this be taken to meanthat I favor tossing all WelfareState beneficiaries into self-re-liance under the free enterpriseiystem? For some beneficiariesthis would be good. It mightsurprise many statists howmany of them would land ontheir feet. Concerning the trulyhelpless,i let me offer the reader

an observation and a challengeThe observation is that an abolition of the Welfare State woulddrastically cut the need fortaxes, and thus leave morewealth for present benefactorsto distribute. It would alsoenable new people to enjoy thesubjective benefits of perform-ing charitable works. My challenge is for the reader, havingpaid all his taxes, to send off acheck to his favorite charity.

terhorn with a picture — youjust must go to Zermatt some-day and see it for yourself."

Indeed, I'd love to but, as anold mountaineer, I'd be temptecto climb it; a feat that Is nowbeyond my physical abilities. A:for the picture, which he hasmade Up as a Christmas greeting card, it is one of the moslstriking pictures of this worldfamous peak 1 have ever seenIt was taken from a villageprobably Zermatt, and it loomsup in beauteous splendor between two lesser mountains thatstand on either side of the valley that holds the town. It's £marvelous picture and onewhich I will file with others ofthe world's most climbed moun-tain.

No wonder it's called a"horn," for it resembles one—and a very sharp pointed oneat that.

Ray continues: "Did climb itonce more though, this timefrom the Lion Arete on thesouthwest—by far the hardest ofthe ridges. Why didn't I do thiione first???"

But he wound up by climbingit once more, by the easier way.After leaving Zermatt he wentover to the lowlands, "To reco-ver in the sun, and while en-camped in a beautiful camp-ground at Filisur, I met a BoyScout troop from Basel. Theywere going to try the Matter-lorn, but at the last minute,;heir guide had other commit-ments, and they had no money;o hire a professional. So thevery next day we were all on;he train back to Zermatt. MyGerman wasn't too good, and;heir English wasn't too good,)ut we got along swell. Not all

of them made it up the easyiornli Arete, but we had a real)all and I'm supposed to gojack next year."I'd say Mr. Rylander is a

Good Scout, I hope they pinneda badge of some kind on hismanly chest for taking suchjood care of the Boy Scoutroop.He goes on about the so well

ireserved natural beauty ofIwitzerland much as my friend•'red Morath does. "Somehow>r other they have been able toireserve the natural beauty ofheir country overhousands of years

the manyof human

abitation, something we have'ailed so dismally at after just aew hundred.

"And it is surprising how longlie puny works of man seem toast here. Why, they have build-ngs a thousand years old—and)lder — churches, schools andcourthouses that are still in use.and just look at our poor, de-repit old courthouse — hardly

more than 50 years old beforet is junked)."

And the funny thing about our"ancient" courthouse is that itis built just as solidly as those1,000 year old buildings in Swit-zerland and other .Europeancountries. It isn't that we citi-zens do not revere the old andbeautiful structures, for we doIt is because of the politicians,petty, or mighty, must in anyway whatever, Who so long asthe taxpayers foot the bills, seetheir names on the cornerstonesof buildings, not half so beautlful or so well built as the okones.

If we had any of the greatcathedrals or other fabulouslybeautiful buildings they have inEurope, they'd have been bulldozed away long ago by the fedroad building bulldozers or theurban renewal gang of wreck-ers. They have already des-troyed thousands of our historic'al sites and half the beauty olour country-side, in the name olprogress—but the progress is nowhere visible after all their ef-fort. In fact, it appears that weare rapidly retrogressing in ourmaddening battle for "improve-ment."

I have two more color pic-tures from Rylander, one is olan ancient cog train, the fiveengines and coaches of whichwere built in 1881, and everyone of them is still being usedtoday. The other picture is of anelectric street car that was builtn 1910 and is still running

daily. Now, who is the mostDrogressive, the destroyers, or;he preservers? Me? I'll votefor the Switzers.

"But," Rylander says: "moreand more Europeans have au-;omobiles. They are becomingmore affluent. I, for one, hope.hey are able to learn from ourmistakes and use the automo-]ile as a tool, and not becomeenslaved to it. And I kinda thinkhey will, as evidenced by the;urich Tram System."He is impressed by Switzer-

and, its politics and its tax sys-em. "No income tax and noiroperty tax-until you get way

up there."He says: " 'America, love it

or leave it.' I think there is ahird alternative: stay and tryo make it better. I wish I knew

how to start, but it is papersike the Gazette, and people likeou who are trying to show ushe way, if only we would listen

and act. No, I do not agree witheverthing you say, Rufus, but I

ill stick by you to the end for•our righ tto say it. M e r r y

Demythologizing the YoungBY JEFFREY HART

The last thing today's collegetudents need is a swinging proessor or a turned-on dean. Ateast that is the

consi d e r e dview of Dr.Alex Sharriffs,

h e Berkeley>rofessor o f>sychology whos now Govern-or Ronald Rea-gan's educa-ional adviser,in fact, said

Sherriffs in an important ad-Iress at Berkeley, most of thehings widely believed aboul

college students are myths, andcan be shown to be so. Theylave gained credibility through

repetition in the media andhrough hot-house fictions like

Charles Reich's "The GreeningAmerica."

The public has been told, saysSherriffs, that the young todayre a "new breed." Adults areold that they inhabit the faride of a "generation gap" andhat they'd better get used tohe "new morality" of theoung. This, says Sherriffs, is

tissue of myth, much of itelf-serving, some of it the pro-uct of wish-fulfillment on theart of the myth-makers."Research findings across the

and," noted Sherriffs, "fromaboratories at Harvard, Stan-ord, and Berkeley do not bearut these myths. The research

ndicates, for example, that be-ween childhood and adulthoodlere is still a period of adoles-ence, a time when youngsterseed to be somewhat separate,ut also a time when they needo know that there is strengthnd understanding in adults,

instead—and for the firstme in our history — by their

mitative behavior, adults areaying to youth: 'You've got it

made,' and this is unnerving tohe young. When daughter putsn her mini-skirt, mother goes

,find adults saying 'cool' asthough to prove that they are

mod; when son lets his hairrow, father's sideburns be-ome longer; when children de-elop the Twist, adults learn it;nd when children say 'cool1

meaning what we meant whene as children said 'hot'), we

young."The point is not that the

symbols of adolescence — cos-tume, hair style, dance and'slanguage' — are in any waybad. They are, in fact, neces-sary. The trouble is that adultsbehave as though by reachingadulthood they have lost statusand position.

"Research also suggestsstrongly that our adolescentsare not the romanticized newbreed they have been ste-reotyped to be. Compared withprevious generations, there aremore among them who are iso-lated and lonely. Their friend-ships are fewer and of shorterduration. David Riesman re-ports that during the past tenyears students have averagedfewer friends each year. Re-search also indicates that manyyouths are less able to tolerateuncertainties, and more de-manding that there be abso-lutes.

"The youngsters talk .con-stantly about communicationand love, but this preoccupationseems to stem from a lack ofboth. To characterize them as"the love generation"—that is,more 'open'—is a disservice tothem, for each individual is ledto believe that his peers arebetter off than he knows himselfto be.

"The New Sexual Morality isan interesting myth. It has beenused to excuse many campusinnovations. Yet common sensec h a l l e n g e s the notion, andresearch confirms scepticism.We find that today's sudents be-lieve what adult spokesmenhave told them. They believethere is a new morality. Seniorwomen, for example, believethat 75 percent of their fellowsenior women have had prema-rital sexual intercourse. Highlyregarded and recent studies byFreedman and Halleck indicate;hat the percentages are in factbetween 20 and 22 per cent. Inthe 1950s, Kinsey, and later Eh-rmann, reported similar fin-dings. If this data surprisesyou, then this in itself is evi-dence of the effectiveness of themyth."

litical condition of women in theUnited States, I do not believethat young women 10 yearsfrom now, when they go merrilymarching off to the walls ofMontezuma or where drafteesgo before they take their chan-ces on the battlefield, will thankMiss Bird or the current femin-ist movement. The draft is anoppression far greater thanever existed between men andwomen. The draft comes shortonly of simple execution forpure, unqualified oppression.Equal slavery, equal oppressionfor all is not liberation.

Human beings, by their verynature, seem to be somewhatenvious creatures. When somegroup has a "privilege" t h a tanother group Is prohibited :from sharing through law orcircumstances, the tendency isfor the other group to demandthat "privilege" also—with noreal thought as to whether itwould be beneficial.

There is a kind of liberationthat goes far beyond the rela-tively narrow concepts of racialor sexual strife. And it is theconcept of liberty that saysevery man and woman has cer-tain natural rights—to live, toacquire property, to make deci-sions concerning life style, reli-gion and occupation. Loss o f . i -freedom, in this context, onlycomes about when these naturalchoices are altered throughcoercion.

We would suggest that MissBird, with her fine concern forwomen and fair play in general,not bring more injustice into theworld. Is it necessarily a bettersociety, if all share in slaverywithout exception—regardless ofrace, creed, color orEquality, in the end, is simply aleveling process by which thebest in a society is broughtdown to thedenominator.

lowest commonTrue liberation,

however, is a celebration of theinfinite potential and unique dif-f e r e n c e s among individualhuman beings. In a truly libe-r a t e d society the naturalchoices of every person wouldflourish to the well-being of ev-eryone else.

How about human liberation?Not women's liberation, ormen's liberation. Contrary toMiss Caroline Bird, I do notthink that the extension theUnited States draft to includewomen, would be a triumph forthe feminist faction. I think itwould be a death blow to thegreat idea that women are freeand that womanhood is beauti-ful.

Little GirlBurnedAt Security$

A 6-year-old girl, Lisa Miller,101 Linden Drive, was taken toSt. Francis Hospital with about40 per cent of her body burned,the sheriff's office said Tues-day.

Deputy Sheriff Eloy Vigil,said the child's father, ArnoldMiller, was in the bedroom andhis daughter, who was drinkingmilk in the kitchen, suddenlyscreamed.

Miller ran into the kitchenand found the child had beenburned. Vigil said the furnacehad been faulty and had beenturned off by the Security FireDepartment in case of gas leak-ing-

Vigil said the accident couldhave been caused by the ovenwhich had been turned on togive some heat and that the gasfumes in the resident reachedthe oven and became ignited.<IM Miller told the deputy hedid not hear any type of explo-sion in the kitchen.

More than 100 books collectedby members of the district at-torney's office worth hundredsof dollars, were sent to the Col-orado State Penitentiary thisweek.

Approximately two monthsago Dist. Atty. Bob Russel andhis entire staff made a day-longtour of the penitentiary, andwhile at the pre-parole center,officials asked Russel if he ormembers of his staff could pos-sibly help them enlarge their li-brarys tressing that books of aneducational nature were sorelyneeded.

Russel said his office wouldhelp and Elen Chestnutt, a

Dear Maverick:1 need a favor and it's an awful big one. As you know,

Christmas is the 25th of this month and I have nothing undermy tree except for a present that my daughter made for meat school. I promised my daughter a bike for Christmas but Ican't afford to buy one. I've only been working and living inColorado Springs for a little over a month so therefore noneof the stores will give me any credit. Is there any store oranyone who owns a store that will let me buy a bike for mydaughter on credit? I can afford to pay back $15.00 a month ifsomeone will do me this favor.

I don't have a phone of my own, but I can be reached at471-3037. Will someone please help us?

R.J.

Dear Maverick:I saw In your column where the people of Peyton, Colorado

were seeking contributions for their fire department and I waswondering how many people in Colorado Springs remember June16, 1965, when they were trapped there during the flood and thesewonderful people fed and cared for us for two days and nights?

The individual names are hard to recall now, but Maverickthis town rallied to care, house, and feed 500 people. At this timethese people had cooked, baked and bought hundreds of poundsof food for a bazaar to raise money for a fire truck and all thisfood was taken to feed the 500 people that were stranded there;Not only was all this food used but many homes were strippedto feed us.

It was not Christmas Maverick, but their "Good Will To Men",was something I shall always be privileged to remember. Howabout you, people in Colorado Springs, do you remember?

C. N.The old Maverick shore recalls that flood in 1965. And thanks

for rememberin' the good will of the folks in Peyton!

Dear Maverick:Is there a glass recycling plant in Colorado Springs? If so,

where? And if not, where is the nearest one?Mrs. T.P.C.

Pikes Peak Glass Company at 627 S. 31st Street will pay 75cents for 100 pounds of clear glass. Lables may be left on but nolids. They should be clean.

Dear Maverick:A comment on K.R.'s letter. She said the Post Office is killing

Christmas. Without the Post Office there would be no Christmasfor a lot of people. For months there have been ads on tv, radioand in the newspapers saying mail early, yet the post office isfull of gripers who didn't pay attention and they are killingChristmas. The postal workers are working twelve hours six andseven days a week because of them.

Yes, postage is exorbitant but not if you compare it with theprice of everything else, and at least a stamp doesn't say madein Japan unless you buy it there.
