"■> ',■«*--->' CHECK THE ROOTS TOO! Zero-Base Budgeting Is Needed Federal programs have a way of perpetuating themselves through constant expansion and increased budgets. Bureaus and departments in many cases feel that their importance to the nation and the people is in direct proportion to their ever-increasing expenditures. Dr. Arthur Burns, prior to accepting the chairmanship of the Federal Reserve board, proposed a sound, constructive method to ascertain the current worth of federal programs and projects. He calls it "zero-base budgeting." This means that each government agency would have to make a case for its entire appropriation each year, not merely for the requested increase. For example, each of the cabinet-level departments has thousands of different programs. Under "zero-base budgeting" they would be required to justify their worth, not just ask for new appropriations to continue their existence or to expand their activities. It's just good practice to "take stock," whether it be in the private or public sector of our economy. Let's give it a try! Faster, To What End? Americans would doubtless be ingrates not to rejoice at tidings that the Decision Information Distribution System is soon to be set in place. The situation is goc^-Washingtonassu^« us ;'that Such & system of ^ultra-fast warning might save as many as 10 or 15 minion lives in the event of a nuclear attack. Statistically speaking, this is comfort. How good to know that millions who might otherwise be caught in the holocaust would have a chance to escape. Faster public warning systems have about them, however, the same aura of ultimate impraticality that surrounds the concept of mass public shelters. The stubborn central fact of the matter is that, should nuclear war break out, warning systems iand catacombs of shelter would not prevent the devastation of our country and the virtual destruction of American society. It helps not at all to know that the enemy in a nuclear exchange would be similarly devastated and disrupted. Faster warnings would only assure a few more survivors to undergo such mass agony as has not yet been experienced by mankind. Key To Pollution Control Increased productivity is the key to solving the nation's pollution problems, according to W.P. GuUan- der. Addressing Minnesota's first Economic Development Conference, held recently in suburban Bloomington, the tfAM President called on Americans "to go to work with energy and pride of performance in order to achieve clean air and clean water without penalizing our standard of living." Mr. GuJlander pointed out that the billions of investment dollars and the millions of man-hours of work .required to achieve pollution control will be diverted from, other pressing needs unless productivity is significantly increased throughout the country. (% S>un Vol. 48 - No. 14 • One Section 16 Pages NORTH CANTON, OHIO, WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 16, 1970 i ■'. — »■ ■ Copy; $4.00 per yr. by Mall; $5.00 Outside County Rotary Selects Four Exchange Students Here Four area high school students have been selected to participate in Rotary. International Youth Exchange Program. They are Elizabeth Ann Arnold, 15, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Arnold of 1238 Lorrell Ave. SW, a sophomore at Hoover High School; William C. Dodge, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs. John F. Dodge of 1323 Clearmount SE, a senior at Hoover; Gregory A. Seibert, son of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Seibert of 606 E. Maple St., a junior at Hoover; and Kim Fodor, 15, daughter of Mr. andMrs. Edward Fodor of 5575 Market Ave. N, a sophomore at Oakwood High School. Should any of the three local students be unable for any reason to keep their assignments, alternates would take their place. Alternates named include Hoover students Deborah Schreckengost, daughter of Mrs. Louise Schreckengost of 1028 Valley NW; Phil Hartong, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Hartong of 240 6th St. NE, and Judy Harrison, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Harrison of 139 9th St. NE. Gregory ..inert Klm Fedor The program wai begin next August. Elizabeth, William and Gregory- will be sponsored by the North Canton Rotary, and Kim, by the Canton Rotary. Each student was required to fill out an application, answer key questions about their future plans, honors and achievements, hobbies, favorite book and whether they could speak to Rotary and other civic groups after returning from their foreign-land visit. They also .were asked to list major issues facing the United States and the world. Answers for the U. S. ranged from inflation and related economic problems to unemployment, pollution, racial and campus relations, crime and drugs, education and war in Vietnam. World-issue answers included war and peace, overpopulation and starvation, Communist oppression and aggression, Asian and Middle Eastern problems and improvement of medicine and living conditions. Plans for their life's work included modeling, teaching, medical research, math technician and United Nations Interpreter for the girls and law, teaching and medicine for the boys. Two were undecided about future plans after college. Assignments will be made for these four between January and April, 1971. "Only in this way can we undertake this very , , necessary task without sacrificing other demands of J^JlflUal &Wg our population," he said. "We are all both villains and victims in the pollution situation. Therefore, pollution control is everybody's business-^industry, municipalities, householders, farmers, merchants, children and adults." The NAM President called for sound planning and efficient performance in achieving pollution control. "Also the public must recognize that we need to know much more about the nature of what constitutes harmful pollution and effective means of achieving control," he said. Among the many unresolved questions that need sound answers, he said, is the issue of standards— whether they should be national, or based generally on local and regional conditions. / "Much study V required to ensure ^hat standards established arei not a serious penalty to the efficiency of our economy," he said. "Recognition of local or regional conditions, may well pay dividends to the communities involved." Mr. Gullander called for cooperation and understanding by industry, commerce^ government at all levels and, above nil, by the people who he said are the most affected and who, ultimately,, will pay the bill.'
