Stay

On Competition
Recently a minister spoke out in favor of abolishing
competition in business. Apparently he was motivated by the
nearly mortal struggles of private enterprise, in the eternal
battles to survive.
But he ignored the fact that this universe is based upon
competition. Dinosaurs failed to make the grade; we no longer
have them. Instead we have traffic problems, which may yet
succumb in their own way. Cain competed with Abel, and we
had our first war of record. It is a shame our popular opinion
of that war hasn’t survived.
Jacob competed with Esau, guided by an inspired Rebecca.
We seem to have lost sight of the point that Esau fared pretty
well in the end, and each brother got to do his best mission in
this world.
Joseph competed with eleven brothers, and set in motion
ideas and people to carry them to the ends of the earth, even
to this day. Competition has been the keynote of this universe.
Where would we be without it? Our problem has been to keep
it clean and beneficial.
Right now we have a war going, in southeast Asia, where we
are trying to get people to decide whether they want to live
under the regimentation of the state, or under free enterprise
and its relative freedom. It is a barbarous competition, of the
same brand Cain indulged in with Abel.
We can’t simply pull out, and leave the Communists to take
over, but we can put on display a few ideas to take a vote on.
Communism has departed far from the original aims. Marx
predicted an income tax. Today capitalism has it, and does not
call it communistic. Ue also predicted something about
concubines, but never mind that.
Ihe Russian in theory pays no income tax. He simply never
gets to receive that part of income. How do you think he pays
for that superabundance of military effort, and the worldwide
subsidized subversion?
But the Russian lacks the incentive to scratch up the taxes
the free world has to pay. Those keep us sharpened up no end.
He is not permitted the incentive of inventing ways of
improving life. I’hat would be “revisionism.” And to keep him
in line, he has a huge secret police to monitor him.
So the monolithic state has competition pretty well stifled
behind the Iron Curtain. Alone, this state competes with the
free world. Takes itself pretty seriously, too.
Suppose we established competitive newspapers in southeast
Asia, with editors free to print what goes on? If the
Communists are so good, they will want the world to know.
But they cannot pctfnit a free press. If they came into power
and ran the country in away the world would cheer,they
would have to provide the freedom we have been fighting for.
And we would have won the war, the ideological war, which it
has been all along. Let’s try some real competition!

Certification ,
Key to Program .
Payments |
Farmer certification is the
essential step preceding set
aside payments to producers
participating in the U.S. De
partment of Agriculture 1972
set-aside programs for corn,
grain sorghum, barley, wheat,
and cotton, according to Geor
ge Dykes, chairman of the
Brantley County ASC Comm
ittee. He urged farmers who
have questions about the cer
tification to call or come in
their county office of the Agri
cultural Stabilization and Con
servation Service ( ASCS )
“ It’s important that a far
mer know what he is certi
fying before he signs his
name,” said Dan Jacobs, Brant
ley County ASCS Executive Dir
ector.
Final certification date this
year is June 1, but certifi.
cation may be made as soon as
a farm er has his program crops
planted and knows he is in com
pliance with the programs.

payment which will be madefe
soon after July 1.
“ While it speeds payments
to get certifications in early,
producers should also remem.
ber that mistakes can be cost
ly. Once certification is made,
no acreage adjustments can be
made. A farmer has to be in
compliance with program regu
lations when he certifies.
That’s why we’re urging pro
ducers to call or come in now
if they’re not sure about what
is required for certification,”
Jacobs said.
When a producer certifies,
he reports exactly what acre
age he has in set-aside land
and what he has in the pro
gram crops he signed up for.
He also certifies he has com
plied with all regulations and
will continue to comply through,
out the year.
An error in certification can
result in loss of some or all
of the set-aside payment. Spot ,
checks are made each year on
farms participating in the pro-
grams.

CONGRATULATIONS
Our citizens all over 1 the
County have been congrats
lated on the calm, gentleman
ly manner in which they bore
the insults that were hurled at
them during the recent county
site election.
Men who had been born and
raised in Wayne County-Men
who had been elected to posit
ions of honor—and men whose
names were symbolical of truth
and justice-were traduced,
their characters assailed, but
they have come out with clean
hands and untarnished names,
and it is to be hoped that the
citizens of our county will nev
er again be insulted as they
have been by people who should
stand for wisdom, justice and
moderation.
