Shows Issues Facing' Americans “The A. Vi. C.'s of Totalitarian ism—apathy. beauracracy. and cynicism,—must be fought with D D. T.—decisi n. determination and thoroughness." Mrs. R. Rich ards Schweitzer, Norfolk, vice president of the Virginia Federa tion of Women's Club, told mem bers of the Farmville Woman's Club at their annual luncheon Wednesday at Longwood House. "Too many of us think of the government as "it" instead of the "U. S." which is "us!" Mrs. Sch weitzer said. "The tremendous national debt of ours and those who come after us. As there are two million more women than men in the United States, today, women's responsibility is that much greater." she declared. She said that wcmen must think things through and find out for themselves. She caution ed against taking the words of the commentators without examining backgrounds and causes. Times Have ('hanged "Times have changed but prin ciples have not." Mrs. Schweitzer stated "We are a generation that has conquered many things, which hav'e happened too rapidly and too easily. We accept as our herit age these tilings which we our selves did nothing to aqutre. In maintaining our heritage we must remember that there is no way to legislate moral or spiritual values. These we ourselves must realign and reassess." The speaker said that we must begin to curtail and too sacrifice to pay off our national debt. "One out of seven people in the U. S. today is in the employ of the government, and everyone works HI days of the year for the government. If the Truman bud get is adopted they will work 80 days of the year, and before lone it will take all of the money of all of us to pay for the cost of government." Mrs. Schweitzer pointed out Sion Demands "We must stop making de mands on federal funds and bring tlic spending of tax money back to the localities where we can see how it is spent." slie declared. "Remember that even after the tax collector gets it. it is still our money." Mrs. Schweitzer urged that wo men take an active part in poli tics "The position of women’s clubs in regard to politics has changed" she stated. Instead of being frowned upon it is now con sidered as the administration of public affairs." She said that when municinal housekeeping is looked unon in the light of women's qualifications with tiie innumerable role they must play as executives for their homes and families, it will be seen that they are well prepared to participate in public affairs. Look To Youth She advised that both bo vs and girls be inculcated with the re sponsibility and worth of citizen ship in choosing careers in the public service. "We can't sit back and enjoy ease and luxury in a world of chaos." Mrs. Schweitzer said in conclusion." We must sacrifice, we must re-c.hart our course, and have nothing to fear but God."
