Detect an odor of sarcasm?
Now, if Pm on the right trail--the
archbishop recently palmed off as
gospel the statement that foxhounde
bred in the hills of Monroe county
have a slit in one ear.
The slit is a survival of he fittest
device. Those POSSESSING slit ears
place hind paw in the slit and lock
going down hill Those without Sits
have been bashing their brains out
against the trees in the holloWs.
It has been said that the purebred
Srain has a slit in each ear. That's a
refinement for north or south slopes.
If | didn't stumble across a set of
cold tracks, that what Mr. Moore
complained about Among other
things. He also wrote to the arch
bishop: You use too many abbrev-
latlons and initials and reading mat

Archbishop Bates has called Grant
Moore "thc fly in my soup" So the
feud is flaring. Storekeeper Moore

to the archbishop, beginning: MY

This seemed to have a sarcastic
tone, as did a reference farther
down to the archbishop's "Invisible
Church" This is a modern hill feud,

In this report, the archbishop may
oversh1dOW his fellow scribbler. The
archbishop is remarkable in many
ways.
There is a saying in his neck of
the woods, Noble County, that the
preachers and fox hunters must
never battle The preachers repre-
sent things good. The fox hunter is
pictured as the other extreme A
pitched battle between the two
forces would be comparable to an
atomic bomb destroying the world.
Now the archbishop is both a
preacher and fox hunter. He ad-
mits it. Harley Bates and this ink
spot" he wrote last week, fox
hunted Wednesday morning. Blacky
holed one gray. They don't run in
front of her very long. They hunt
a foxhole quickly
To keep the feud alive, the arch
bishop admonished Mr.. Moore: You
better look out for the Mud gulch
mystery ghost learned several
years ago, if ! knew nothing about
a subject, not to express my ignor-
ance by bringing it up. You are ex-
cused-but remain at the foot of the
class"

neighbors get together we discuss
these things and if we make some

In Washington With
Congressman Griffiths

The PRESIDENT in his speech on the
state of the union, outlined many
new plans to spend federal funds.
The fact that bothers me is: HE DID
NOT OFFER ONE SUGGESTION
TO ELIMINATE WASTE AND EX-
TRAVAGANCE. Certainly he is
aware of today's initiation; and
unnecessary spending by the federal
government is adding to that very
pressing problem.
Everybody in the district is aware
that his or her bill for food is high
and yet l believe most people close
their eyes to the fact that their
government is costing more than
ever before.
According to a late report by the
New Jersey Taxpayers Association,
during 1947, the food bill per per-
son was $4,000, yet, the bill for
government per person was $37l.OO,
or, $41.00 more per person than his
food bill In 1929, per capita cost of
food was $161.00 as against $500
per capita for government, and in
the last pre-War year, the food cost
was $121.00 per person as against a
per person cost of government of
511100
AS initiation in the food market
comes down, maybe even sharply,
lost Of food will do likewise-but,
he Appropriations Committee, of
which am a member, has great
difficulty in securing Cooperation
If government agencies to lowering
osts Of government Maybe it is a
painful Job to some but it is one |
m determined to help on and which
must be done if we are to keep our
financial fences in order and to do
his, every single American should
INSIST that the government cut down
IS stupendous spending and your
Unnecessary high taxes from which
his spending spree gets the money
to pay for it.
