Ronald
REAGAN
"His varied activities through the years show him to be a calmly deliberative,
eminently humane person. He arrived at his mature conviction about public
affairs not impetuously, not by rote, but by a confluence of some tempering ex-
periences, much serious research, and a large reservoir of common sense."
GEORGE N. CROCKER, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER, JANUARY 9, 1966
If there are men in government capable of running
the nation's business better than it is now being run,
you would long since have hired them away from gov-
ernment. Those who place their faith in government
planning would point to the present prosperity as
proof that government intervention in these recent
decades has been helpful to business.
It is no such thing.
It is only proof of the great virility of the free enter-
prise system that it has been able to survive the nit-
picking, the harassment, the meaningless regulations,
and the regressive taxation, but it is not a virility that
can survive forever. First, let us recognize that addi-
tional purchasing power and, hence, prosperity, is not
created by re-distributing earnings on hand, but by
increasing production. One of the basic laws of eco-
nomics — not guaranteed to help anyone in an English
class, but definitely the basis of all economics - is the
rules 'There ain't no such thing as free lunch.'

ANTI-COMMUNIST BATTLE
"That Ronald Reagan evolved into a hard-hitting, effective anti-Communist was confirmed by testimony before the
House Committee on Un-American Activities. Testifying on Communist maneuvers to capture Hollywood, Actor Ster-
ling Hayden was asked what stopped them. His answer: 'We ran into a one-man battalion named Ronnie Reagan."
Ronald Reagan is, first of all, a family man - the proud father of four children — Maureen, Michael, Patti and Ronnie, Jr. He is
seen with his wife, Nancy, and their at home youngsters Ronnie and Patti.

"The founding fathers of this country were not profes-

were citizen-politicians. California has been marked
more than any other in the Union by the election of
citizen-politicians as Governors. I believe it is the civic
duty of people to make their talents available to help
solve the state's problems that baffle professional poli-
ticians. General Eisenhower said, 'We question
whether political experience automatically resulted in
a backlog of statesmen or just resulted in a number of
people who were adept at political maneuvering."
Ron and Nancy take time out from their busy schedule
