American Education Week
begins officially on Sunday,
November 6. An invitation is
extended to all parents and
the general public by the SUI
perintendent Of Education,
Mrs. Pearl Byrd Larsen, to Wis
it the schools, get acquainted
with the teachers, and also the
members of the School Board.
While there is a growing in
terest in education, the SUI
perintendent thinks it is Meth

raj interest by itself is not
enough. Ways must be found
to convert interest into action.
Usually this stage is reached
when citizens become aware
of some physical need of a To-

Economic Highlights

''Tru-DeaT" May Be State Socialism
It would have taken a super seer
to have forecast, last November,
that a Democratic President who
had just won stunning victory at
the polls would have his legislative
program knocked on the head in
most particulars by Congress. But
that seems to be what has hap
pened.
Looking into the crystal ball,
here is the status of his program
at present.
Taft-Hartley Act. Mr.. Truman
wants complete repeal. It would
require a miracle to achieve it. It
is doubtful if anything save techni-
cal changes in the law will be
voted. 1t may not be changed at all.
$4,OOO,OOO,OOO Tax Incre e.
Whenever this comes up, glacial
atmosphere descends on Congress.
Everything will be done to avoid
any tax increase. If, of dire neces-
sity, tax bill is passed, it will be
very different from Mr.. Truman's
desire.
Expanded Social Security. This is
in the doldrums. The section with
the best chance of approval would
give increased benefits to the aged.
Opposition to the Administrators
medical proposals is very strong.
The more moderate measure, pro-
posed by Senator Taft and others,
has many more adherentS.
Columbia Valley Authority. This
is a key step in the Administra-
TONS plan for the greatly expand
ing government power development
and solidfying Federal authority
over water and other natural re-
sources of the nation. Cost would
be some $2,OOO,OO0,000. Has small
chance this session, will be pushed
hard again.
Standby Authority for Price Con-
trolls, ALLEGATIONS, etc. Absolutely
dead.
New Farm Subsidy Plan. This is
scheme, suggested by Secretary
Brannan, whereby food prices to
consumers would be held down by
giving direct Federal subsidies to
farmers. The Congressional recep-
ton has been chilly.
Why should the Presidents pro-
gram have encountered such heavy
going? There are various reasons.
First, many Congressional Demo-
Gratis, especially in the Senate, are
conservatively inclined and have
little use for what is being called
the '"Tru-Deal'-they fear it would
result in state socialism. Second,
the Pre- d e n t has antagonized
some of the more Influential law
makers by what they regard as a
demanding, dictatorial attitude.
Third, the decline in business, even
though it has been moderate, has

Space Savers

Buying foods wisely and cooking
them properly are extremely i'm
portant in making the most of the
food budget. But don't neglect the
"in-between" step of proper food
storage. Many fresh foods are high
ly perishable and lose both food
value and flavor if allowed to stand
at room temperature.
Fresh vegetables, particularly,
profit by being hustled into the re-
frigerator as soon as they are
brought from the market or gar
den. Wash the vegetables thorough
ly and trim off wilted parts. Re-
move the leaves from root vege-
tables such as carrots and beets.
potatoes need not be kept in the
refrigerator) Allow the excess
water to drain and store the vege-
tables in covered enameled refrig-
orator pans.
An ample supply of covered
glass-on-steel enameled containers
is an ideal aid to the proper stor-
age of vegetables, leftovers and
other foods in refrigeratOrS. These
pans come in a variety of con-
venient sizes to fit all storage
needs. There are large enameled
ones for such things as cabbage,
celery and head lettuce. And for
storing leftovers and other foods,
an assortment of smaller size con-
tainers is ideal.
To save space, these enameled
containers are designed with flat
covers to permit easy stacking in
the refrigerator. They are excep-
tionally easy to keep clean because
their glass surfaces are acid and
stain resistant. An added advantage
is the fact that leftovers may be
reheated quickly in the same
enameled pans in which they were
stored.

Veteran-students who acquire de-
pendents or additional dependents
while in training under the CT Bill
should notify the Veterans Admin
istration as soon as possible, so that
VA van determine whether they
are eligible for increased subsis-
tence payments.
Notice of change in dependency
status should be sent to the VA
Regional Office in which the vet
eran's records are kept. The notice
should be accompanied by legal
evidence of dependents, such as a
certified copy of the church bap-
tismal record, or certified copy of
the public record of birth or mar
riage. Subsistence payments will
be increased as of the date legal
evidence is received by VA, and
will not be made retroactive to the
date the veteran actually acquired
the dependent.
Monthly subsistence allowances
for veterans studying full-time in
school are SIS for those without
dependents, $1O5 for those with one
dependent, and $120 for those with
more than one dependent.
Any veteran whose eligibility for
CT Bill education runs out after he
completes at least half of school
semester which is normal in cost
may complete the remainder of the
semester at government expense,
| VA said. The veteran also will re-
ceive subsistence allowances for the
remainder of the semester.
QUESTION: I intend to enter
school under the Servicemen's Re-
adjustment Act in January. When
should apply for my certificate
of eligibility?
ANSWER: If you wish to enter
training under the CT Bill, you
should apply for your certificate of
eligibility at least 80 days before
the enrolment date.
QUESTION: What assistance can
be given me by VA in furthering
my claim for compensation when
the official records are not avail
able or are incomplete?
ANSWER: VA contact represen-
tatives are authorized by law to
aid claimants in the preparation
and presentation of claims. Your
representative will assist you in
preparing an affidavit giving COM
plete history of sickness or injury.
QUESTION: I am a World War
II veteran and would like to know
if a medical examination is neces-
sary before my claim, filed at dis
charge, can be rated?
ANSWER: It is not necessary if
the service records give sufficient
information in your claim filed at
discharge, or if a claim is filed
within six months after discharge.

v7ouvE HEARD it said that figures don't lie" Well,
/ maybe not. But there are times when they don't
give you the whole truth.
Take this loose talk these days about Soaking the
rich" and spreading the wealth. Let's bring that out
into the open and just who's soaking who.
Let's at the year 1916" That year went down
the books of the biggest income years record
In 1916 some SO million of citizens paid in
come taxes the government toallng 16 billion rs mil
lion dollars.
Now let's put the X-ray the group they talk
about soaking" and let's, for change, take honest
look at the facts and figures.
There were 1882 individuals who filed returns
with incomes Of 50 thousand dollars for total
of less than and two-thirds billion dollars.
That's the figure the "soak-the-rich" club likes to
wave around
They don't say much about the fact that the Fed
era Government collected 81 percent of these
gs in taxes-2 billion 3o2 million dollars in round figures
They don't exactly point out that this amounted
to almost percent tax collected
from ndivduals-plus heaven only knows how much of
the state local. and all the other hidden taxes you need
slide rule to figure out
And they don't like to compare fgures-like this
one for example: that in October of 1o4S-just one
month mind you-the payroll for Federal, state, and
local government hit an au-tme high of billion, $40

they are what they do and what's left after
Among them are the men with the brains the know
how the CUTS keep the American Business System in
its coveted position of world industrial leadership They
are the upon whose keen minds and broad shoulders
rests always the destiny Of this country and is
people-in Peace or in War.
They are the leaders who are responsible to you
the great working force of so mllion-and to all the
millions whose welfare depends upon the growth Of
industry.
They the driving force-the motive power Of
s. and world progress And whatever they they
are worth the money
But-lets join the "soak-the-rich" club for a mo-
ment Let's carry this share thewealth" comedy to s
final ridiculous extreme Let's these 100 percent
Let's take the billion, 266 million dollars left after
