2—ANAHEIM GAZETTE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Wednesday, July 18, 1962 THE STOMACH-TURNING POINT Bums Relief Roles Make (Editor's Note: In the following installment of "The Stomach-Turning Point," Editor Jenkins Lloyd Jones deals frankly and forthrightly with trends and weaknesses in American life. He reveals how relief has become a racket and is grossly misused. He turns his attention, too, on psuedo art and literature—and how we tend to justify all shortcomings by saying our citizens are "deprived persons," or "underprivileged." Read, think and then resolve to do something about these shortcomings and dangerous trends. Editor and Publisher) Virgil Pinkley By JENKIN LLOYD JONES Editor Tulsa, Okla., Tribune Having neglected generally disciplines in education, it was quite logical that we Americans should neglect disciplines in art. The great painters and sculptors of the past studied anatomy so diligently that many of them snatched bodies. And today, after many centuries, we stare at the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel the walls of the Reichsmusum marvel at their works. But this self-discipline is tle concern to the modern objective painter. All he needs pigment and press agent. Stick bits of glass, old rags quids of used chewing tobacco a board and he is a socialite. He can drive a car back and in pools of paint and Lifeazine will write him up. Talent is for squares. What you need is vast eery. This is the kind of art painter with no ability car and a teacher with no ability teach. No wonder it's popular the factory end.

He can stick bits of glass, old rags and acids of used chewing tobacco on board and he is a social critic. He can drive a car back and forth in pools of paint and Life magazine will write him up. Talent is for squares. What you need is vast effrontery. This is the kind of art that a painter with no ability can paint, and a teacher with no ability can teach. No wonder it's popular at the factory end. But the tiny minority of youngsters who might have the spark of a Titian or a embrandt within them stay unencouraged and unrecognized. And our museums are filled with splashes, cubes, and blots being stared at by confused citizens who haven't the guts to admit they are confused. But fakery in art is a light cross we bear. Much more serious is our collapse of moral standards and the blunting of our capacity for righteous indignation. Our Puritan ancestors were preoccupied with sin. They were too preoccupied with it. They were hag-ridden and guilt-ridden and theirs was a repressed and neurotic society. But they had horsepower. They wrestled livings from the rocky land, built our earliest colleges, started our literature, imagination. Man, says the behavior found time in between to fight Indians, the French and the British, to bawl for abolition, woman suffrage and prison reform, and to experiment with graham crackers and bloomers. They were a tremendous people. No Time to Be Bad And for all their exaggerated attention to sin, their philosophy rested on a great granite rock. Man was the master of his soul. You didn't have time to be bad. You could and should be better. And if you wanted to escape the eternal fires, you'd damned well better be. In recent years all this has changed in America. We have decided that sin is largely imaginary. We are bemused with make him evil. He is just a chip tossed helplessly by forces beyond their control, and therefore not responsible. Crime Rate Rises Well, the theory that misbehavior can be cured by pulling down tenements and erecting in their places elaborate public housing is not holding water. The crime rate continues to rise along with our outlays for social services. We are far gone in fancy euphemy. There are no lazy bums anymore — only "deprived persons." It is impolite to speak of thugs. They are "underprivileged." Yet the swaggering, duck tailed young men who boldly flaunt their gang symbols on their motorcycle jackets are far more blessed in creature comforts, opportunities for advancement, and freedom from drudgery than 90 per cent of the children of the world. We have sown the dragons' teeth of pseudo-scientific sentimentality, and out of the ground has sprung the legion bearing switch-blade knives and bicycle chains. Individual Responsibility Clearly something is missing. Could it be what the rest of the world's children have been given — the doctrine of individual responsibility? Relief is gradually becoming an honorable career in America. It is a pretty fair life, if you have neither conscience nor pride. An And for all their exaggerated attention to sin, their philosophy rested on a great granite rock. Man was the master of his soul. You didn't have time to be bad. You could and should be better. And if you wanted to escape the eternal fires, you'd damned well better be. In recent years all this has changed in America. We have decided that sin is largely imaginary. We are bemused with behaviorist psychology which holds that abstract things like insight, will and spirit are figments of imagination. Man says the behaviorist, is either a product of a happy combination of genes and chromosomes or an unhappy combination. He moves in an environment that will tend to make him good or that will tend to Let's Go Fishing Closer and closer and closer. That's the word the deep sea party boat skippers bring back on the albacore to Balboa Pavilion and Seasport Landing, whose boats have been, are in, and will continue to be in the thick of the longfin action daily. Albacore appear to be moving into waters between San Clemente and Catalina Islands and the mainland, although they are still a run of some 5½ to 6½ hours southwest of the Newport Jetty at the present time. These are really hitting. "Half a hump" (50) catches of a week ago have turned into "hump and a half" (150): albacore counts per boat more times than not in the past few days. These longfin are running into kingsize figures. In many cases they are bending the scales at the 35 lb. mark while other schools in the same vicinity weigh in at a fighting 10 lbs. But make no mstake about it, at 10 or 35 lbs. you have a lot of hot action on your hands when you tie into an albacore. First albacore of the year was taken in the Catalina Channel last week by a private boat, perhaps signaling the beginning of the long hoped for inshore run. This will put the remainder of the Individual Responsibility Clearly something is missing. Could it be what the rest of the world's children have been given — the doctrine of individual responsibility? Relief is gradually becoming an honorable career in America. It is a pretty fair life, if you have neither conscience nor pride. An angry old judge in Muskogee County, Okla., upon his retirement last month, asserted that in his last docket 27 bastardy cases were filed for no other purpose than to qualify for the relief rolls, and that in most cases both the plaintiff and the defendant continued living together while awaiting the next arrival. Any effort to stop this racket brings an immediate threat that federal aid funds will be withdrawn. Profits At System The state will give a mother a bonus for her illegitimate children, and if she neglects them sufficiently she can save enough out of her ADC payments to keep herself and her boy friends in wine and gin. Nothing is your fault. And when the city fathers of Newburgh suggest that able-bodied welfare clients might sweep the streets the "liberal" editorialists arise as one man and denounce them for their mediaeval cruelty.

We feel the boys learn a lot out themselves, through work projects, serving on camp committees, and, in a sense, being a Mother Nature.

HAPPY WANDERERS — Girl Scouts from tions during a morning session of their overtroops from al lover Anaheim study cloud forma-night camp-out on the playground of the La-Palma Boys Club. The girls lived under semi-primitive conditions for 34 hours, cooking, draw-ing water, putting up tents, studying clouds and weather flags and thoroughly enjoying the whole operation. Scouts 'Sack Out' at La Palma Youth Center "Tonight, I'm gonna stay "Space Flyers," "Blue Jays," could lash tripods to hold their Scouts 'Sack Out' at La Palma Youth Center "Tonight, I'm gonna stay awake as long as I can!" Anaheim Girl Scouts on a camp-out at the East Anaheim La Palma Youth Center late last week just hated to go to sleep at night. Tented in pairs, the girls were supposed to "sack out" at 9 a.m. but camp site director Mrs. Ruth Poblanz said the girls were allowed a whisper time. "And they whispered!" she added with a laugh. The girls came from scout troops all over Anaheim and divided into units on arrival at the camp site with two girls from each troop in each unit. Chose Names Each unit chose a name for itself. Since the camp itself was called The Happy Wanderers," each unit chose as its name something that wanders. The six units in the camp chose such names as: "Circus," "Chipmonks," "Tigers." TONIGHT Theater Guild Schedules 'Send Me No Flowers' Benefit The stage was still set up and the actors were still flushed with the excitement of their recent success, and award-winning, "Send Me No Flowers."

The camp out itself and their work with weather flags and knots are all credited to the girl's account when they apply for their second class scout rank. Discipline Mrs. Poblanz denied that the 14 adult camp leaders had any trouble handling the 120 girls. "We seldom have any discipline problem at all. The girls just love it here," she said. Should there ever be any difficulty each girl is reminded that she has taken the girl scout oath and that she must live by such laws as "Be cheerful," "Be helpful," "Be obedient." Each girl pays $6 for the six days camping experience which includes two overnight camp-out and two day camp sessions.
