2 VIEWPOINTS ON WELFARE,
(Editor’s Note: This is another in the ‘“LaGrange College Perspectives,” a weekly series of
informative and Interpretative articles on current affairs and problems, It was prepared for The
Forest Park News by the faculty of the Methodist, coeducational, senior college in LaGrange, Ga.)
BY DR. JAMES L, DODD
Social Science Divisfon, LaGrange College
Last year over 70 billion dollars was spent in this country by state and federal agencies for social
{nsurance and soclal welfare, This amounted to almost 40 per cent of governmental expenditures
for all purposes,
The 70 billlon was shared about equally by state and federal governments, This was almost 30
per cent of the total federal expenditures, and almost 60 per cent of the total state expenditures,
Os this 70 billion, over 12 billlon dollars was expended specifically for public welfare, health
and medical ald,
The fact of these expenditures and the increasing number of public welfare programs in health,
education, housing, economic opportunity, and recreation, is clear indication that American
society s definitely committed to helping the masses of its underpriviledged, helpless, and de=-
préssed citizens,
For many Americans this commitment 1s a welcome sign of our coming of age as a responsible
socfety, They see the underpriviledged as victims of oppressive social conditions that have bred
in cyelie fashion poverty, ignorance, soclal irresponsibility and socfal deviancy. According to
this point of view, people are not poor because they want to be, or because they are too lazy
to work, or because God wills {t, They are poor because bad social conditions have made it
impossible for them to escape or rise above their low status. A soclety is truly greut when it
devotes much of its energy and wealth to relieving the evil social conditions that keep a signi
flcant percentage of its members poor and depressed, If every citizen is guaranteed a comfor=-
table home, a good education, a meaningful vocation, a living wage, and medical and old age
securlty, society will be stable and healthy, Society will be free of the disgruntled masses that
can bring it to a downfall,
On the other hand, a number of Americans view the trends in social welfare with much mis
giving., They see these trends as an assault on the traditional American values of hard work and
individual responsibility for oneself and family, Public welfare and assistance programs are
viewed as hand-outs to public parasites and ¢‘ne’er-do-wells,”” These programs breed sloth,
social dependency, irresponsibility and loss of self-respect, If a man will work hard enough,
according to this polnt of view, he can share in this abundant soclety and experience at least
some of “the good life,””
Which view Is correct? There are fallacies in both, Social welfare is not a panacea for all social
flls. It is not true that all people will become responsible citizens if given a decent wage, a com=
sortable home, a good education and social security. On the other hand, it is not true that the un
derpriviledged are frresponsible sluggards who refuse to assume responsibility for themselves,
Many work hard, or are willing to work hard, but because of a physical handicap, there is no
way for them to rise ahove their unfortunate circumstances, The good life may be all around
them, but eircumstances prevent them from sharing in it without help from soclety,
The answer to the problem of social welfare lies somewhere between the two points of view,
The underpriviledged of cur soclety cannot be ignored without sowing the seed of social discontent,
They must be helped through proper educational, vocational and environmental opportunities,
These should be provided by the official groups of society with the view in mind of helping these
people to become interested, responsible, participating members of soclety,

Utah that the administration

Now’s The Time

To Apply Lime
For 1967 Crops
Spring planting is months away
and next year’s harvest may
seem far out in the future,
But there is something Geor=-
gia farmers can do now to im=-
prove their crops in 1967, a
Cooperative Extension Service
agronomist said this week,
That something, according to
R, J, Bergeaux of the Univer=-
sity of Georgia, is liming,
Autumn is an excellent time
to apply lime to cropland that
will be planted in the spring,
he sald, ““Dry weather usually
prevalls, and this is ideal for
operating spreader trucks apd
equipment,’?
But Mr. Bergeaux sald the
greatest benefit from fall lim=
ing is that it allows enough
time for the lime to correct
acid soil conditions before
crop-planting time,

YOUR LIFE TO BEAR FRUIT?
BY REV, CHARLES GOE

What a beautiful time of the
vear it is! As we look about
us here {n|
Forest Park
and then as
many people
plan exursions
to different
parts of the
country we |
shall admire
the leaves, It
has been said,
this particular
weekend will
probably be the most beautiful
in the mountains of Georgla,
A number of years ago, Mark
Twain had traveled to many
parts of the world, When he
returned to New York someone
asked him, ““Mr, Clemons, what
is the most beautiful sight you
have seen?”’ He responded,
¢“Missouri in October,” This
was his native state and the
trees there softly turn from
green to every color of the rain
bow and their beauty is unsur
passed, Os course, we who live
in Georgla recognize that the
beauty here matches that of

dent of University of Georgia;
Nancy, 16, student Cross Key
High school, and Sabrena, 11,
student in the sixth grade at
Woodward School,
He is a member of Kappa Phi
Kappa, Atlanta Area Asso
ciation of Personnel Workers
and a veteran of World War 11,
He holds a master’s degree in
gchool administration and is
certified in guidance and coun
seling, He’s had 15 years of
educational administrative ex
perience in the state of Geor
gla, As a member of the First
Baptist Church . of Jonesboro
he served as superintendent of
Intermediate Sunday School lc
partment and also as superin
tendent of the Intermediate
Dept, of Clayton County Assn,
In 1964 he served aschairman
of Clayton County coordinating
committee which was responsi=
ble for bringing mental health
services to Clayton County,
Mr. Cherry feels that a new
look in Clayton County educa=-
tion is imperative and believes
in bringing the schools back to
the people, Sound business man=
agement of school finances and
quality education is needed in
the county he stated, He pro
poses vocational counseling and
an extended educational pro
gram for high school grades in
his platform.
Missouri and other states, We
have the largest forest east
of the Mississippl. More of
our land is covered by trees
than any other state east of
the Mississippl. This enables
us to think in terms of the op
portunities that are ours as
we recognize fully the handi
work of God,
As I realize that some peo
ple will be leaving church re=-
sponsibilities and others will
be leaving Sunday School in
order to just look at theleaves,
it reminds me of a scripture
in the eleventh chapter of Mark,
the thirteenth verse, ‘‘And see=
ing a fig tree afar off having
leaves, he came, if haply he
might find anything thereon:
and when he came to it, he
found nothing but leaves, for
the time of figs was not yet,”
The text of that scripture is,
“When he came to it, he found
nothing but leaves,’”” How
strange it is that many of our
lives are like this, We hasten
from one place to another seek
ing beauty and satisfaction, We
climb the mountains, scale the
hills, run in the valley, go to
the rivers, seek the lakes --
in all of these places people
try to find happiness, But hap
piness is not found in anescape
nor even beauty, Happiness is
truly found in service for
Christ.

reader to consider reallybear

For those that are happy, your
happiness when it is sown in
the right places will bring hap
piness to others, For those
that find opportunities of ser=-
vice your service rendered will
bring back to you joys in the
future when others will be will
ing to serve you.
Many lives about us are just
as empty as the fig trees that
were not to bear fruit, Whenwe
look at the Seripture, in Mark
we recognize that it was not yet
time for the figs to be there,
Jesus knew in looking that the
tree was not to bear fruit,
that it was to be barren, Only
the leaves would remain,
As we look at our lives we
can determine by our motiva
tions, by our training and by
our interests whether or not
we will bear fruit in the future,
Surely we will want it said
of us, ‘““We can truly plan to
bear fruit for Jesus Christ
in the days that lie ahead,”
