the house and the writer were
guests at a unique repast. Crazy,
noisy, well cooked and full of
surprises, it was a New Eng
land boiled dinner, prepared and
served by the men Of st. Luke's
church at Brighton, to their fami-
lies and few friends.
1t turned out to be no place for
Q nervous person. Savory odors
from the kitchen, aproned men
lined up ready to serve, had every
one in an anticipatory mood.
The parson asked the blessing
napkins were unfolded, and then
terrific crash-it could be no less
than the big kettle in which
the dinner had been prepared!
Walters peered into the kitchen
with sorrowful "Oh's and Ais
an announcement was made that
there would be a slight delay. A
youth dashed out in manner
that made one sure that we would
dine on crackers and cheese, in
stead of the luscious dinner we
had scented. To fill the pause
numbers were drawn for door
prizes, to be awarded later. Uric
Hutton, dressed in hunting clothes
and a gun over his shoulder,
moved around the tables asking,
rabbit or SQUIRREL"
Then it was discovered that it
was not the dinner that had fallen
from the stove, and serving start
ed. The men had thought OF
everything even fish for the sew
eral Catholic guests-from whom
low means arose as their neigh
bors were served thick slices of
home cured ham. 1t was finally
settled that the day was Saturday
rot Friday-and the fish removed.
Arthur Ribble looked dismayed
when he found hogs nose ring in
his ham-Bob Regain at another
table was surreptitiously trying to
remove a bug from his plate. A
waiter, seeing his struggles,
brought him tweezers but it deve-
loped the bug had been painted on
the plate.
Sounds of an argument arose
back of us where a well known
member of a Quaker family had
been accused of "proselyting"-
whats that? asked the walters,
crowding around the table. Hes
trying to make Friends Of good
Episcopalians" was the explana-
ton. 80, l thought he was com
planning of the food" said Dick
Janney, as he returned to the
kitchen wiping his hands on his
apron.
It's just not fair for one com
munity to have both an Arthur
Carr and Dick Janney. Also ad-
ding to the confusion were Durus
Hottie Guy Wood, Will Hines,
Donald Hobbs, and Malcolm White,
and others.
Between dinner and dessert
guests were introduced. Richard
Lansdale, named as churchman
and politician, was invited to make
a speech. He showed himself
master of any situation. He
laughed off the many interruptions
and the good natured razzing to
which he was subjected, as waters
dropped dishes and noisy argu-
ments arose. To make amends he
was served a whole pumpkin pie
when dessert was brought in.
Oh, yes. The door prizes. Those
holding the lucky tickets were
called to the platform after dessert.
Their smiles faded when they were
told they were to be given the

hospitality at home is an asset, to girls
and boys both, that cannot be sur
passed.
Encourage your son to bring his
friends home; encourage your daugh-
ter to bring either girl or boy friend
home to supper or to Sunday dinner.
Yesterday, daughters always en-
tertained their beaux 1t home, and
it still is the proper thing to do.
If boy is self-oonscious about
meeting girls family, the best thing
to do is to invite him to come with
Bob or jim" rather than alone.
Whenever the question of junior
hospitality comes up, l am likely to
find the best solution in one or another
example given by my own favorite
family, the Browns. The Brown chill
dren never have longed to hang
around corner drugstore just watch
ing others hanging around, because
they can always have more fun at
home.
All the children in the neighbor-
hood flock to the Browns because of
this family's special talent of making
every visitor feel appreciated as we'll
as completely at home. Each guest is
given a star part by being led into
doing what he does best.
In any case. whether home" means
to children the place they 60 out from,
or the place they and their friends come
to, is really up to you, their parents.

dance in one of the hotels, and come
home at almost midnight. Sally is very
unhappy. How can l make her feel
that my objection is not founded on
unreasonable alarm or unfair preju-
dices?"
The practical answer is for you to
say to Sally, II am sorry, dear, but l
cannot let you do that" and tell her
why. If you have built up real COM
radeship that has given her complete
trust in your habitual fairness and
sympathetic understanding. she will
accept your reason for asking her not
to accept the invitation
Encourage Hospitality
ON THE other hand, if you decide
your daughter must refuse one invi-
tation, you might suggest that she
herself give dance, a beach party,
picnic or any other party that you can
help her to carry out. Through en-
couraging her impulses of hospitality
you can overcome her feeling of hav-
ing been shut out from the fun she
was sure was in store for her.
Parents may feel it is impossible
to encourage parties because of food
shortages My experience is that quail
ity of food is the last thing that typi-
cal teen-agers care about. Hot dogs
roasted over an open fire, with soft
drinks and cookies Tin sufficient guam
tity) are all that is necessary - ever.

be understood; they like to dress as
they please; they like to play their
super records over a dozen times
without fear of jangling the nerves of
those listening in.
So, my advice to parents is to let
trifles 60 by - save your disapproval
for something seriously hurt full Try
to adjust your thoughts to the spirit
of your children's thoughts.
You need not copy their words or
actions, but certainly you can try to

AMERICAN WOMEN URGED TO SAVE FAT

Due to the acute shortage of meat, women have been unable to save and turn in fats to the extent they had during previous months, but with the lifting of price ceilings fat salvage col lections should surpass those of recent months. According to the American Fat Salvage Com mittee housewives, since the start of the program four years ago, have been responsible for the recovery of more than five hundred million pounds of fat This means that even when meat was in such short supply women continued to be con scientious in saving waste fats.
 The committee also pointed out that due to the worldwide shortage of fats and with no prospects for early improve ment in the situation, the need for fat salvaging is greater now than it has been at any tune during the war years.
 Production of many greatly needed consumer items are de- pendent on fats. These include soap, pharmaceuticals, automo- piles, refrigerators, washing ma chimes, floor coverings and tex tiles. Every pound of fat turned back to the butcher will hasten the return of these and many other products.
 For these reasons American women are urged not only to continue their efforts in salvag- ing and turning in used fats, but to redouble them:

est. Why9 Because the taxes on Johnny Poor's landlord keep the rent so high it takes a third of Johnny's pay. But Reginald Rich spends only 59o of his in come on rent, so the tax is not heavy at all. Of course Regi- nald also pays taxes on his busi- ness property and on homes that he rents to other people, but those taxes come from his GUS toners and tenants.
 Income Tax?
 One day somebody was think ing about the way these sales and property taxes hurt the poor people most and he thought of the idea of taxing incomes instead. He said let s tax the highest incomes at the highest rates, and the lowest not at all.
 Socialist" shouted the con- servatives in the same tone of voice they now use for those they call Communists. It was originally a plank in the Social ist platform. In spite of all the name e-calling, the people were so strongly for the income tax that a constitutional amendment was ratified making 1t legal.
 The income tax represents our belief that taxes should be col lected from those who are most able to pay. It takes bigger share away from Reginald Rich than it does from Johnny Poor Gin fact Johhny doesn't have to pay any income tax because his pay is so low and he has a family). But Reginald has much more left after he pays his taxes, and if he is wise he IS glad he earns enough money to pay high taxes!

PROTESTS ARMY DISCRIMI- NATION AGAINST NEGROES

The War Department has em- ployed the practice of requiring prospective Negro enlistees to make a score of thirty-nine (39) on the Army "R2" tests when white prospective enlistees are only required to make a score of fifteen (15) on the same test in order to be eligible for enlist ment. In protesting this, the NAACP Secretary of Veterans Affairs sent the following letter of protest to Secretary Patter- son:
 "On October 4, 1946, the Ma tional Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People wrote you a letter protesting discriminatory practices and policies used by the War De- partment regarding enlistments. The specific discriminatory po- Hey which we sought to have eliminated was that require ments restricting Negro enlist ments to high school graduates.
 Upon inquiry we were in- formed that enlistments were opened to Negroes, which if opened on the same basis for all enlistments, was a democratic victory. Following our policy of Investigating alleged dis criminatory practices, a visit was made to the Washington Recruiting Office where we listee was required to take a found that each prospective en- test known as the "R2" test and prospective Negro enlistees are required to make a score of 39 to be eligible for enlistment, whereas white prospective en- listees are required to make a score of only fifteen on the
 anne test.
 'To require a score based on race is discriminatory and un- democratic and should be abolished. We, therefore, pro- test against any such policy or practice in any recruiting office and strongly request that you use the power and influence of your office to eliminate such policies and practices where they are used and direct the abolition of all policies and practices based on race or color"

10Vo Sales Tax?

1OTo Sales Tax?
 A certain Connecticut eco- nomist stumped the country early during World War II beg ging for a 1O% sales tax. He was loudly cheered by local Chabers of Commerce in many states.
 His reasoning went like this |: Too much spending causes in fation. Rich people save most of their money, but poor people have to spend most of theirs. A tax against the poor people will cut down on spending. A sales tax hits the poor people hardest. Therefore, let's have a sales tax to stop imitation.
 (By the way, isn't it funny that in those days when they were trying to keep wages down the "conservatives'' were very worried about imitation? We've almost forgotten it, now that these same people are so anxi- ous to be rid of price controls that they say imitation is noth- ing to worry about because natural laws will take care of everything.)
 Maybe you wonder why a sales tax is hardest on the poor. Here's an example to explain it. Johnny Poor earns $2O a week and spends all of it to support himself, his wife and his chil- dren. A 1O% tax (if charged on everything he spends) will take away about $2, leaving him only about SIS to live on.
 But Reginald Rich has an in come of $2,OOO each week and saves half of it. A 10% tax on the $1,OOO he spends comes to $10O, which is only 53o of his income, and leaves him $9OO to spend plus the $1, ,000 he saves. Whose Property Taxes?
 If Hartford collects a tax of 3% on all real estate, who pays it? That's wrong! If you were about to say the people who own the property, think again.
 Of course the tax collector does receive that money from the property owners, but if the property is rented the money for the taxes comes out of the rent the tenants pay. If the property is used by business firm, the money comes out of the price the customers pay. It s the tenant, it's the consumer who really is taxed.
 Property taxes, just like sales taxes, hit the poor people hard

ing restrictions and preserving their economic security in-town by developing super efficiency managerial schemes that take care of themselves while the proprietors are in absentia.
 I am sure that both develop ments have their merits and that they are peculiar parts of the evolution of metropolitan city expansion in Americas But the fact still remains that any time the leadership in a democ- racy gets too remote from the rank and file, additional prob lens develop. In fact, that TAIN TT" the way to develop democracy but 1t is the way to confusion and misun- derstanding.

The Japanese-American out fit did a magnificent job be- cause their educational status was higher, their civilian status above that of the Negro and the penalty for their failure much more apparent.
 So the story of SEGREGA- TON was the same in war that 1t is in peace. Push any minor ity into the stiffling atmosphere of segregation and ultimately you will harvest a major crop of failures and disasters. No matter how much drum beating and flag waving attends the in ception of such projects, they all weaken the foundation of democracy. For democracy cannot live without racial unity!
