’7l wasn’t too bad;
’72 may be even better
(Commentary)
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press International
Year-end reviews in newspa
pers often are full of gloom and
doom about the state of the
nation, with grim intimations
that even worse lies ahead.
At the risk of losing my
credentials as a portentous
pundit, I am compelled to say
that 1971 strikes me as having
been a pretty good year on the
whole, and I am incurably
hopeful 1972 will be still better.
It’s true we’ve acquired a new
international problem of enor
mous gravity in the India-
Pakistan situation. The U.S.
economy is still very iffy and
no one can be sure whether it’s
going to stabilize, nosedive into
recession or sail off into a new
era of inflation. We left undone
some things we certainly should
have done this year —such as
welfare reform —and we
doubtless did a good many
things we shouldn’t have done.
But let’s look at the doughnut
instead of the hole. In 1971,
there was a noticeable shift in
the mood of America’s young
people. The hippie movement,
which had degenerated into
obsession with hard drugs and
violent revolution, lost favor on
a massive scale and young
people began looking in other
directions for an authentic life
style.
Without backsliding into the
preoccupation with material
possessions that afflicted their
parents’ generation, many
young people began to take
seriously the necessity of
earning a living and faced up to
the fact that doing so, in any
sort of interesting or useful
way, requires a good bit of
hard, disciplined preparation.

(NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.)
From the other side of the
generation gap, there were
hopeful signs that middle-aged,
middle-class Americans are
beginning, at long last, to
recognize that the amount of
hair a young man chooses to
wear on or about his head is
purely a matter of personal
taste, not a fundamental moral
issue.
Another trend which became
evident in 1971, and seems
likely to gather steam in 1972,
is a growing determination
among city-dwellers to escape,
at least part-time, from the
stresses and dehumanizing in
fluences of urban life.
Some are going so far as to
pull up roots and transplant
themselves permanently from
the megalopolis to town-and
country America. Others are
arranging to get away over
weekends to cabins and camp
sites in the woods. Still others
are taking advantage of new
interstate highways to live in
the country (the real country,
not the suburbs) while continu
ing to work in the city.
I think I detect still another
basic shift in American at-

titudes, and if I’m right, it has
both good and bad aspects.
There seems to be a turning
away from national and inter
national problems, which peo
ple feel they can’t do anything
about anyway, in favor of a
growing concern with communi
ty problems that are easier to
comprehend and perhaps even
remedy. This is a healthful
development up to a point,
because there certainly is great
need for more citizen attention
to the defects and needs of city,
county and state institutions.
But it would be unhealthy if
preoccupation with close-to
home problems led to apathy
toward the national election
campaign coming up in 1972.
Once every four years, every
citizen above age 18 gets a
supreme opportunity to make
his personal weight felt in
determining the general course
of national policy.
Anyone of any age who fails
to take advantage of this
opportunity by registering and
voting will default on his duty
and forfeit all right to complain
about “the way things are
going.”

Indictment seen
in Douglas slaying
DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. (UPI) —After making two visits
to Alabama to gather evidence and interview witnesses,
Douglas County authorities say they foresee no difficulty
in getting an indictment in the murder of a young coed,
Sandra Dee Swisher.
Chief Deputy Earl Lee and a representative of the State
Crime Lab were in Birmingham for the second time this
week, but Sheriff Claude Abercrombie declined to say
what information they gathered.
He confirmed they talked with Birmingham attorney
Charles Tarter, who led sheriff’s deputies to the spot near
Douglasville where Miss Swisher’s remains were found on
Nov. 15.
Although he would not give the source of his
information, Tarter returned an escaped client to Blount
County, Ala., the following day to face charges of
murdering one woman and beating a second in
Birmingham.
The client, Richard Mark Ellard, 25, refused to talk to
the Georgia officials.
