How many times have you taken
your youngSter to be fitted with
shoes and have not really known
how well they At? 1t is char
acteristic Of children to say "oh
mother they are lovely, yes they
fit" no matter how short the shoe
may be or how narrow. Two
branches of a local store have an
arrangement whereby you can now
fit sonny, or the little sister, in
transparent plastic try-on shoes
and get. your own eyewitness view
of the feet. Most important of
all, the new visual fit method
allows you mothers to see how the
child actually walks in the shoe
A red danger line in the try-on
shoes marks the point beyond
which the toes must not extend
for the right amount of grow
room" These visual fit shotes in
104 sizes and widths exactly dupli-
cate a line of leather footwear
Therefore If the transparent shoe
demonstrates that an 812 c fits
your child's foot at all points
you'll know that particular size in
leather shoes is absolutely right.
You'll discover all 1O4 sizes and
widths are made over the same
lasts as the leather shoes. Each
visual-flt size is built in the same
way as its all-leather counterpart
with leather insole, leather heel
and flexible leather sole for auth
entic try-on walking.
When you investigate this new
method of fitting shoes. you'll have
confidence in your purchase and
know that you are preventing foot
defects caused by shoes that crowd
the toes or do not fit the heel.

Scrambled Eggs

In making scrambled eggs It's
good idea to use about a half
tablespoon of butter or margarine
for each egg; if you want a white
and gold effect, beat egg with
fork but do not blend yolks and
whites completely.

The Matter OF Fair Assessments

We believe the P%ascagoula city government is making
a wise and far-seeing move in planning assessment equal
ization of all realty and business personal property rolls,
with the work to be done by a firm of experts IN that line,
A point might be made in the fact that the assessor,
in this instance the city clerk, is charged with doing this
job and could save the city the $4,000 that the appraisal
firm will charge. Nevertheless, the fact stands that 1t has
not been done in the past, and therefore there i&no reason
to expect it to be done in the future.
a casual perusal of the tax rolls will show many un-
justified inequalities In assessment. This is true not only
this year. but in past years. Most of the present dis,
satisfaction. we believe. stems not SO much from the in
crease in assessments on the present rolls as 1t does from
these same inequalities.
There is no question, either, but that some have been
taking a free ride, insofar as taxes are concerned, while
others pay more than their fair share.
The Job of re-assessment, expertly done, will eliminate
these inequalities, set a rule-of-thumb measure for ar
irving at fair assessments and let each individual pay his
just and proportionate share. We believe that $4,000
will be an investment by the city that will pay good long
range dividends.

House Turns Down OEigorchy

The defeat Of the effort to restore to the national
House rules committee its old power to bottle up legisla-
ton Is a victory for basic democratic procedures, despite
any propaganda to the contrary.
AT the last session of Congress the House rules were
changed so that the committee could be by-passed and
bills brought to the floor after they had been held by the
rules committee II days without action.
The states rights drive to restore the committees old
powers was ostensibly based on the presumption that 1t
would bottle up civil rights" legislation and prevent 1t
from coming to the House floor for a vote. Actually. this
was failscious and a d~ay-dream. as past events easily prove.
Civil rights measures have passed the House by big
maiorities in the past, before the committee powers were
removed, for the simple reason that Northern Democrats
and Republicans, who constituted a majority of the COM
mittee, have voted them out. They were then blocked in
the Senate which, as the House does not, has unlimited
debate privileges and could therefore block the legislation
with a filibuster. This will also be the case at the present
session OF Congress, despite statements to the contrary by
states rights Congressman.
Actually. a return of the old powers would give a
coalition of six men. a majority of the ll-man ommittee.
power to block controversial legislation. including a vet
eran pension bill. which might come up for consideration
in this session. As this is an election year In which all con-
gressionsl representatives will 90 before the people. block
Ing of such legislation might save many a congressman
the embarrassment of having TO go on record.
In any event, it seems to us more than passing danger
Gus to place this power in the. hands of a few men who
hold their committee positions on the basis of congressional
seniority. II is a complete contradiction of democratic
procedures, no matter whose interests it serves.

MI. Frankenberger went on
to add that highway construc-

industries as trailer, truck and
automobile manufacturing, and
especially far behind the over

than willing to admit that high

under the guise of trailers. The
over-the-road interstate truck

phenomenal growth during the
past 10 years, stimulated of

what percentage of interstate
freight is now carried by truck
lines, but we'll bet our bottom
dollar it has trebled or quad
