What
Do You
Think?
Thr RrconltT Asks:
I»•• vi u think that people rx-peel
loo much from the govern-ment?
Thr I'ulilic Answers:
Miss Mi if- Sinclair. 1142 Mat-
-cnr.n.I Koad: Yes, I think in
some Mil the people do expert
too much from the government.
Both Federal and Stale govern-mint-
have rerognlitd the mi
r< ol i ■ ■iiKiiiiu needs • f thr public
in respect to certain thing*:
housing. employment, security.
In to lit-, and so on. for example
In spite of the mammoth task it
fa to provide for the good of the
nation an a whole, many prrM>n*
srrni dUulislled with what is
designed to bent-til Iheni Of
roarse, things can always be bet-ter.
Bui I think that peoplr do
expert loo murti from the gov-ernment
when they eomplaiii and
critiei.'i- with onl> their own oo-
Jeclives In mind
Mm. Anthony Janoskl. Arden
Road. GUlph Mills: No. I don't
think so We pay taxexs for ser-vices
that we're Justified in exist-ing
of good government
Yltus P. Traxell. 152 West Sev-enth
Avenue: They do expert a
lot In the wrong way, assistance
In thing's that a man i> rightfully
expected to provide by his n«n
ability. However. It is difficult to
answer that noeslion inielllienlly
without giving It considerable
thowghl.
Madeline Triflletll. Germantowi
| Pike and Joahua Road No. I don't
| think that they do. This country
| was built on the foundation of good
1 government by the people. The
1 public has a right to expect and
I demand efficiency and public ser-
1 vice
Mrs. I>ori> M Tmrnma. Churrh
Road and Kldge Pike. Barren
Hill: Yen, I was laught that we
never get anything worthwhile
without working d It. And yet,
something for nothing is just
what many peoplr are i omlng
more and more to expert from
the government today. Many ol
the government programs are
nothing but big-power charity,
and surli charily H tainlv un-dermines
the national character.
To my reasoning. If we think
or are gelling somcthlr ; for
nothing, we ure kidding only our-selves.
For the taxpayers, and
that mi ludrs all of as, are paying
out the money that someone eLse
reaps ma a government benefit of
some kind o- another, t under-
I stand quite well that thr econom-sirm
mrr of the nation and
arid are xurh today that certain
basic adjustments have been
nrrfvwn Bat I do think thai
egggj ihoald be kept to a mini-mum.
