Most disturbing of all is that this has reached a point where charges and counter-charges of gen- uine illegalities, violations of the public trust, have been tossed forth, Certainly they are not meant for reader entertainment. And if there is truth behind them, Orleans County must be possessed of one of the strangest public agencies of all time. Forgery, misuse of funds, failure to fulfill required duties, these are just several of the charges we've been hearing. A county board of elections is an independent body governed by the Election Law of the state. There is thus no impatient \father\ agency to take the commissioners to the woodshed. It will be a note of great interest to see which of the two political parties has the breadth, wis- dom and capability to bring about harmony instead of hollering. THE YEAR TO GET INVOLVED The presidential grind of primaries is begin- ning its pyramidal journey toward the giant nation- al conventions. There are new and shifted politi- cal district boundaries in New York State to bring new public faces to new constituencies, there is a State Assembly race gaining momentum in the 137th District, there are major county offices up for grabs and a long-familiar figure ready to ac- cept retirement. There are changes in party lead- ership on the county and local levels. Even your \friendly district committeeman\ will be on the bal- lot seeking election this year. Can anyone recall a more promising time in recent history for observing and learning the Am- erican system? It has flaws, it can stand revisions, but those who have chosen to bad-mouth it bitter- ly in the past several years have offered no rea- sonable alternative. With all this maelstrom of American politics swirling toward the peak period of June through September, it just might be a good time to forget the summer replacements on your tube and follow step by step how a republic is constituted to work of, by and for its people. It's a touch of probable irony that the young voters, the new voters are likely to ask more di- : «Lect questions of the candidates, speak louder in public, make their demands stronger than their elders. Not a soul would deny that areas of our lo-. cality, state and nation are aching with troubles. Never has a fully-participating public been more sorely needed. Have a \rap\ session with your nearest can- didate, write that letter to your senator that you've been putting off. Get in the middle. Give up democ- racy as a spectator sport and try playing the game. If you can't find anything else conveniently at hand, find out if your district committeeman is doing anything to help the party. If not, call him up and give him a chewing out. It's a start.

There are other unhappy statistics she could have quoted. For example: -The world's nuclear stock- pile now amounts to the equivalent of 15 tons of TNT for every person in the world and is growing. -Proportionately, the hea- viest spenders are the nations that. can least afford it. These are the developing countries which spend three times as much on arms as they do on health and education. The per . capita income of many is less than $200 a year. Trillion Dollar Mark Passed -In the six years ending in 1969 world military expendi- tures passed the trillion dollar mark. At its present rate it will pass the second trillion by the end of 1974. * -The United States, followed by the Soviet Union, France and Great Britain, is the world's largest supplier of armaments. In 19 years it distributed $3.4 billion in arms officially labeled \surplus.\ In five years ending with fiscal 1970 it permitted foreign nations to purchase nearly $700 million in military equipment under the \Food for Peace'\ program. > These are figures variously reported by the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, the prestigious Interna- tional Institute for Strategic Studies in London and the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute set up in 1966 by the Swedish govern- ment. ' They are especially note- worthy in light of the fact that, even as it negotiates with the Soviet Union on a limitation of nuclear weapons, estimates of U.S. defense spending for 1973 now total $81.7 billion or 32 cents out of every budget dollar. Estimates of the cost of a new submarine fleet to carry a new, improved multiple war- head are set at between $20 and $30 billion alone. Almost Beyond Control These are figures beyond the comprehension of most ordina- ry men but they point up the urgency of the need for global agreement to limit arms expenditures which literally take food from the mouths of babes and even now are almost beyond control. At the Geneva disarmament conference, where only occa- sional rays of hope have relieved what otherwise has been an exercise in futility, there is full realization that before the world can reach agreement, agreeement first must be reached by the nuclear powers and particularly the super-powers, the United States and the Soviet Union. There also is a realization that even agreement between those two cannot function effectively unless they are joined by China and France, The Lighter Side By DICK WEST United Press International . WASHINGTON (UPI) -The news that President Nixon will make an official visit to Canada next month landed a bombshelt on the 1972 political campaign. No one, I'm sure, would wish to imply that Nixon had the domestic political situation in mind when he accepted Prime Minister Trudeau's Inviation for the April 13-15 visit. He may simply have felt like getting away for a couple of days and jumped at the opportunity Trudeau provided. The political impact of the journey, however, can hardly be overestimated. Note, for example, that the visit was announced on the very day voters were going to the polis in the Florida presidential primary, where busing was a major issue. Nixon Expresses Opposition Additionally bear in mind that Nixon had on several occasions expressed opposition to massive busing. This combination of circum- stances undoubtedly was reas- suring to any Florida voters who. might have feared their children would be bused to school in Canada. ' And that, in turn, helped nail down Nixon's victory over his two Republican primary op- ponents. Equally important, Demo- crats who have been advocating closer ties between Washington and Ottawa were deprived of another campaign issue. For what is a Democratic candidate profited to say \If elected I will go to Ottawa,\ when Nixon has already been there? This is always a danger that public hopes will be built up beyond what the Nixon-Trudeau talks could realistically be expected to accomplish. A Big If If the discussions result in a Vietnamese peace treaty, an arms limitation agreement with Russia, an end to inflation and a drop in unemployment rates, the White House probably will consider the trip successful. But these achievements could prove disappointing to the American people, who have come to expect miracles from summit conferences. From a political standpoint, however, any such letdown would be more than offset by the television exposure Nixon will get as he sets foot in yet another foreign capital. The shots of him eating Canadian bacon and toasting his hosts with Canada Dry will win more votes than a thousand bumperstickers. No Democratic candidates can buy that kind of publicity. Some of them couldn't even afford the bacon. chp of thunder.\ they walked - oth chrRist (exc Meera cr cre- Mete Ncc Nee Neige By Oacxo polirac ._ JAMES THE ELDER James, the son of Zebedee and the brother of John, was probably know to Jesus from childhood. His parents, Zebedee and Salome, were regarded as kinsfolk of Joseph and Mary. This family was eager, aggressive, and determined about the Good News of Jesus. Perhaps too strong, like the time that. 'James suggested that Jesus call down fire upon an insulting Samaritan village . that would not receive the Apostles. Or the oc- casion when he and brother John challenged the credentials of someone healing in Jesus' name. Small wonder they were called \sons Mother Salome was not bashful cither, asking for top positions in the coming King- dom for her boys. Yet, for all the faults and self-seeking, this was a gallant and courageous crew. James the Elder was a true witness for the Christ, being the first of the disciples to die for the faith. 407 &i For a full-color, 64-page book based on this series, contain- . ing: eight big illustrations suitable for fruming, send $2.25 in cash check to LENTEN BOOK, c/o this newspaper, P.0. or Hox 439, Radiv City Station, New York, N.Y. 10019. both of which have spurned all such previous invitations. And, to make it worse, as the United States and the Soviet Union seek parity between themselves, France and China trail far behind both and are unlikely to agree to any limitation in either weapons or nuclear tests until they also have perfected their weapons.
