TO BE EQUAL Snake oil and balanced budgets By VERNON E. JORDAN JR. Copley News Service California's Gov. Jerry Brown has embraced the new orthodoxy of balanced budgets. In his inaugural address, he's come out for a constitutional convention. The purpose: to pass an amendment to the Constitu- tion requiring a balanced fed- eral budget. By so doing, Brown has. seized the leadership of the nation's so-called tax revolt. But his proposed solution to the problem of inflation -- a constitutional convention and balanced federal budgets -- Is nothing more than a modern version of the old snake oll remedies. Like them, It won't cure the prob- lem. The governor's stand misleads the public. It is bad politics, bad economics and bad leadersh!p. The call for a constitution- al convention is dangerous. Once assembled, such a con- vention could rewrite the en- tire Constitution, a frighten- ing prospect in this day of standards, the federal budget is already balanced. If the federal government went through that little exercise, it would simply in- crease public distrust of gov- ernment. A perfectly legiti- mate accounting procedure would strike many people as being an evasion of the Con- stitution. The fundamental flaw in the plan mandating balanced federal budgets lies in its assumption that federal deft- clts cause inflation. In fact, even conservative econo- mists recognize that even a deficit as large as the Presi- dent's $30 billion target adds only a small fraction of a percentage point to the infla- tion rate. Like the old snake oil mer- chants, proponents of a bal- anced budget amendment offer nothing of value. The problem of inflation would be untouched. The real prob- lems of our economy -- tow productivity through unem- ployment and underemploy- merit -- would be worsened by the government's inflexi- bility. It's a failure of leadership to manipulate symbols and to Bus Trip Should andslngle'lssue interest lobbieSindifference sell the public worthless i S widespread ideas instead of trying to to civil rights. . come to grips with the real But beyond the grlm possl- problems of our economy. Be Cut Down" Dear Sir Why do the Senior Citizens have all the glory on our tax dollars lots of them are able to work• And lots younger than I am and I couldn't even get bus fare and others I know younger gets them• I know these people personally. I am 70 and a widow and on small widows pension. Can hardly make end this winter months, these same people get food stamps and billty of a convention that could run wild, the require- ment for a balanced federal budget Is a bad one. First, deficit spending -- the unbalanced budget -- Is often necessary. In times of recesslon, excess federal spending stimulates the econ- omy and prevents the deep slide into massive depres- sion. Second, a constitutlonaIIy requlred balanced budget would prevent the govern- ment from responding to crl- ses, whether forelgn or Inflation can't be underes- timated. Its most powerful effects are felt by the poor. And unless it Is brought under control, it serves as an excuse for negative, anti-so- cial measures that will have a devastating effect on the poor. A sound anti-inflation cam- paign should be based on controlling essential costs In the items that take the big- gest bite out of family budgets, items like food, energy, health and housing costs. Those items are rising Some of them drew Railroad Retirement and S.S., check last winter and the Senior Cit- izens payed for their fuel oil. Am I not as good as these people? I do think all these Bus trips should be cut dawn and be alittle easier on us old people who ray taxes to keep them up. Let's all try keep our tax dollars here in Summers Co.

Dear Keeping, We have a sixteen-year-old girl who has been acting strange lately. In the last year, we have caught her telling lies, such as going one place and telling us she is going some- where else. Also, we are wor- ried about some Of the people she hangs around with. Some of them are high school dropouts who do nothing but loaf around and get into trouble. Another thing is that she is moody a lot lately. She evens fights with us now. She was always such a nice girl. We just don't understand what.is going on. Do you think she could be using drugs? Please answer quick as we are about at the end of our rope with her and are afraid she may get into a lot of trouble. Lost Parents Dear Lest Parents, also could mean that the per- son is going through a very rough time in life. In case you may have forgotten the teen years are very trying times. I would suggest that you and your spouse sit down and dis- cuss the issues about your dau- ghter until you can do it with- out becoming emotionally up- set. After this, confront your daughter with your fears in a calm, loving manner, similar to the way you probably used to do. If she's using drugs, let her know how you feel about it, but remain as calm as you can. Tell her your concerns and make sure she knows you love her inspire of her actions. Hope- fully, this will make her think about her actions and she will possibly change. If you feel that you cannot handle this situation by your- selves, I would recommend you seek professional help, whether it be a minister, family doctor, or a counselor. FMRS has counselors trained in dealing with drug abuse problems, and may be able to help you and your daughter better understand what is going on in your lives.

February 21,. 1979 Dear Editor: As a former Scout and Scout- master of Troop 27 in Farm- ington, West Virginia, Scouting has made it possible for me to journey where eagles soar, to follow the path least traveled. and to experience the wonders of the creations of God. The Scouting expedition has enabled me to develop skills and abilities to ascend the mountain of life to the peaks of under- standing and awareness. I owe the spirit of Scouting which fills my heart a deep debt of devotion and gratutude, for through the knowledge of Scout- ing I have become perceptive to the importance of integrity, alert to the distinction of dil- igence, and aware of the sign- : ificance of God and Country. Scouting has been my com- pass in the wilderness which guided me to the streams of refreshing hope in the clearing of faith. Scouting is definitely a Merit Badge of Magnificence for all mankind. I call upon all West Virgin- tans to give your continued support to the Scouting trad- ition. A Scout forever, A. James Manchin Secretary of State i00,li, The ram. Nm, i, .mmm.-W. V.

Rushford SR Committ- man Saxifrage root was believeB capable of removing freckles. February 21,. 1979 Dear Editor: As a former Scout and Scout- master of Troop 27 in Farm- ington, West Virginia, Scouting has made it possible for me to journey where eagles soar, to follow the path least traveled. and to experience the wonders of the creations of God. The Scouting expedition has enabled me to develop skills and abilities to ascend the mountain of life to the peaks of under- standing and awareness. I owe the spirit of Scouting which fills my heart a deep debt of devotion and gratutude, for through the knowledge of Scout- ing I have become perceptive to the importance of integrity, alert to the distinction of dil- igence, and aware of the sign- : ificance of God and Country. Scouting has been my com- pass in the wilderness which guided me to the streams of refreshing hope in the clearing of faith. Scouting is definitely a Merit Badge of Magnificence for all mankind. I call upon all West Virgin- tans to give your continued support to the Scouting trad- ition. A Scout forever, A. James Manchin Secretary of State i00,li, The ram. Nm, i, .mmm.-W.
