Epsom Food Pantry
Well, a really, really busy week for Ken, Liz and the gang at the
Pantry.
First let me thank you from the bottom of our hearts, the men of the
Nam Knights of America M/C enforcement Motorcycle Club for their
absolutely great array of food donated to the Pantry. The group is
led by our own Epsom lad, Mike Dempsey. Boy did he deliver us some
food. Many, many thanks to you all.
Then let’s salute the boys and girls from Epsom Central for their
excellent contribution to the Pantry. Also, let’s not forget the
Boy Scouts in the greater Concord area for their absolutely
wonderful contribution to our larder. Not to be forgotten, the
generous monetary donations that flow in. All this enables us to
serve our members with some delicious and healthy food. The
Thanksgiving Baskets go out this Saturday and that should be a busy
but fun day. Do not forget to see someone at the Pantry to fill out
the form for the Christmas baskets.
As I write these articles, I do worry that I might forget some
person who has given us a helping hand. Just give me a jingle if I
have, and I shall correct the oversight immediately.
Until next time,
Priscilla
Letter To The Editor
Americans have long since rejected the philosophy which gave birth
to our nation.
Most don’t even know what that philosophy is.
Natural Law is an alien concept to most Americans.
So is the idea that every individual has the right to their life,
their liberty and to own and control their own property. . . and
that the sole, legitimate purpose of government is to protect those
rights.
No, no!
Most Americans have a very different political viewpoint today.
The following is an excerpt from a statement by the National
Socialist Worker’s Party [the Nazi’s], Germany, 1920.
“We ask that the government undertake the obligation above all of
providing citizens with adequate opportunities for employment and
earning a living.
The activities of the individual must not be allowed to clash with
the interests of the community, but must take place within its
confines and be for the good of all. Therefore we demand : . . .
an end to the power of the financial interests.
We demand profit sharing in big business.
We demand a broad extension of care for the aged.
We demand . . . the greatest possible consideration of small
business in the purchases of the national, state and municipal
government.
In order to make possible to every capable and industrious [citizen]
the attainment of higher education and thus the achievement of a
post of leadership, the government must provide an all-around
enlargement of our entire system of public education . . .
The government must undertake the improvement of public health . .
.
[We] combat the . . . materialistic spirit within and without us,
and are convinced that a permanent recovery of our people can only
proceed from within on the foundation of The Common Good before the
Individual Good.”
Be honest, does the above statement by the National Socialist
Worker’s Party represent your political viewpoint?
