By DAVE WEST

The only thing that interests
us is people. We do not under
stand any of the arts or sciences,
and in no true sense do we APP
preciate them. When we look at a
painting others call great" we
aren't excited by line, color, or the
artists unique conception of the
subject: if we are excited at all,
it is to wonder what the painter
himself was like. Relatively and
the fourth dimension challenge
none of the cells slumbering in
our cerebral cortex: but we are
awfully interested in knowing a
bout Einstein. Our appreciation"
of music is limited by an ability
which can just determine whether
it is loud or soft, played in a
swift or slow tempo; we can tell
there's a difference between the
Snare Drum Boogie and Boscodo-
nowitz' Concerto for Fluegelhorn
and Three Octarinas, but we can't
determine which is the more soul
full: we are totally absorbed in
the strange contortions of the
performers, or lost in speculation
about the composers. We think so
much about the writer of any
book we read that we are far more
likely to remember that Algernon
Pffft, world famous author of
"Fire in the Cabbage Patch, or,
Perfume in the Night" spent
three terms in ninth grade alge-
bra class, than we are to recall
any of his contributions to litera-
ture or thought We know, for
example, that Socrates was hen
pecked and ugly appearance, but
we are perfectly innocent of
knowledge of his philosophical
principles.

as the year during which we ac-
complished the commercial coup
that netted US 100000, or the
year we modestly refused to ac-
cept the Congressional Medal for

or even as the year Of any actual
occurrence in our life. We shall
remember 1850, for a while any
how, as the year in which we met
so many interesting persons. We

knew who approximated in the

brassy, laxative fellow with a
hearty, housekeeping manner and
the kind of drive that made him
want to outsell every drummer
on the road. Guy was very sue
cessful. He was an earnest stu
dent of his trade; used to keep
notebooks in which were confiden-
tial entries about his customers
and their weaknesses. He loved
to talk about his work during his
weekends at home, whenever he
could corner a neighbor, Guy
would describe exactly what hap
pened to him every day, during
his absence, tell how many pairs
of shoes he had sold, reveal the
clever bit of craftsmanship that
had accounted for the big sale in

replied; he would even criticize

Before you're begged down with beggar's plea:
Get out your pencil and jot down these
No proper Year should neglect to do
These simple things we expect of you:
Let good things spread up the sounds and slou
From Chicamacomico to Mashoes,
And pure contentment ride the breeze
That blows from Buxton to Wanchese.
Let all Dare countians live in luck,
Whether in Avon or in Duck.
For once give one reason to squawk
Between Cape Hatteras and Kitty Hawk.
Make taxes shrink and incomes grow
At Co1ington and Manteo.
May Stumpy Pointers have their wish
And fill the matches full of fish,
Let tourists swarm to Jockey Ridge;
See that Manns Harbor gets its bridge.
Let 'em enjoy every. possible break
At Skyco, Salvo and East Lake.
Make life move along in perfect content
At Kill Devil Hills, Waves and Trent.
Let 'em wear prosperous, happy smiles
On Roanoke and Bodie Isles,
And krins be broad on the Lower Banks
And Mays Headers know no sulky cranks.
In short, little brother named Fifty-One,
These are the projects must be done
Before you run your twelve months through
And move over for Fifty-Two.

Finishing touches Pu'
On Postal Rate Bill
By House Committee
BY the Associated Press

The House Post Office Commit
tee was ready today to put finish
ing touches on a bill raising postal
rates.
Proposed increases, however
were not big enough to wipe out
the current post Office operating
deficit, estimated at $500 million
this year.
The committee yesterday ap-
proved increases in mailing rates
for second class matter such as
newspapers and publications. 1t
had previously voted increases in
First class mail charges.
Parcel Post Not Involved.
Still to be considered are ad-
ministration requests for more
revenue from third class mail and
from special services.
The committee is not consider
ing parcel post rates. The Inter-
state Commerce Commission re-
Gently approved a rs per cent in
crease In those charges in a move
to add $105 million to revenues
from that source. 1t will be ef-
fective October l.
Chairman Murray told news
men he expects the House COM
mittee to finish writing the bill
today and said he wants to have
it ready for House consideration
later this month.
The House passed a rate in
crease bill in the last Congress,
but the Senate ignored it.
Increase on Postcards.
The committee already has
tentatively voted to double the
1-cent rate on picture
postcards and Government postal
cards and to raise second-class
rates eventually by so per cent.
From the postcard increase it
hopes to obtain SAT million in new
revenue annually, while from the
second-class raise it expects the
annual increase to approxima te
S25 million after the second year.
The second class increase would
be 20 per cent annually for three
years, leveling off then at so per
cent above present rates.
Committee members predicted
a so per cent increase in rates for
third class, or bulk mailings, In
stead of the 100 per cent re-
quested by President Truman. A
so per cent boost would yield an
estimated $40 million extra postal
revenue annually.
