 No more causes for me. I’m busy enough just doing my job and looking out for my family.” ‘‘Controversy, conflict, riots everywhere. Maybe the problem is that things are too big and there are too many people involved. You know what I mean? When things get too complex to figure out then you need experts and that’s what we've got to develop. A good example is my car. It’s one of the new ones and when you lift up that hood — well. Good God. man. it's a regular nightmare of parts and pieces and hoses and wires. In a million years I could never learn how to disentangle that mess. When it doesn't work it goes into the garage where a real mechanic can straighten out whatever it is that's gone wrong. Well, we don't have the right 'mechanics' who can I » figure out the war and poverty and integration — stuff like that. Until really qualified people are put to work in these problem areas we're going to have more trouble. At one time I was interested in the integration fight. I gave some money and kept up with the news. But as soon as the thing started to break and a civil rights law was passed everything fouled up. Now we're worse off than we were when we started. Blacks and whites are fighting each other instead of working out their differences peacefully. I’m fed up. No more causes for me. I'm busy enough just doing my job and looking out for my family. I guess that’s really all that a person can be expected to do anyway. 9

 We keep our opinions to ourselves and we try to be friendly without ettin : involved. That is the secret.” As for what's important to me — what really matters — I'd have to say my job and my house. We’ve been In our new house for about four years now. We re really beginning to get things the way we want it. We had to add a family room out back and I put in a flagstone patio last summer. It’s got plenty of room and it has become our hobby to spend our spare time puttering around and fixing things up. We were offered $8,000 more than we gaveifor it just last year so the effort’s been worth it. It's not only fun, it is a good, solid investment. Of course that would not have been possible without my work. I've been lucky! there too. I work for an inter-natUpna company. I've been with them j| ever since l graduated from college and that’s paid off.
