KEY WESTERS, WANT TO KEEP LOOKING
YOUNG? HERE'S THE BEST WAY

This homily for Key Westers and this is question
for he How many Of you want to keep young or look
young? All hands raised for the possession of youth
youthful looks is the precious thing in life to u.s.
But can't retain youth It is fleeing. It flies by so
FAST We have barely time to appreciate it before we rea-
lie 1t is past and gone you don't think that Is true
look back at your youth How long does it appear that
you had It? How much thought did you give to it while
you had it? How much did you appreciate it while it
yours? You snap your fingers That's how long
now that 1t is past and gone
While we can't keep our youth yet it is possible for
us to look youthful What Is the best thing in the world to
keep looking youthful Women think the is
metcs, and women and too many Of them, think
that If they prm up stylis clothes 1t keeps them
looking young. That is faacy. The best remedy is
goodnature not in awhile but practically all the
time. That goodnature is chaitabe toward the faults of
Others and never fumes fres because it hasn't got this
can't do that, and above ALL knows how to be salts
fled with what 1t possesses.
The man in Key West who comes nearest, so far as
know to possessing those qualities Sam Goldsmith,
our weather good testing ground of mans ma
ture is golf course. The general of fume when
we dub shot Sam laguhs And when he makes good
shot, he doesn't He takes the game of golf it
comes, and takes the job of living 1t Have
ever seen him angry? We have known him thirty-odd
years, and have seen him angry. We presume he
has been angry, like all the rest of US, but he doesn't
blow up, as some OF us do.
oa saving grace is MS keen sense OF humor he likes
to joke, and laughs if the jokes on him.
Sam, when he talks to us about the weather gives
us interesting and Informative details that formal wea
ther report doesn't contain He sounds like greatgrand
pappy, relating and corelatng facts about the weather
with which unfamiliar.
Sam has served Uncle Sam WE'LL and we trust he will
in Key West for long time to come though he has
been in the bureau for much more than 80 years
How old is he? We don't know. He looks to be 40,
but probably is barking the heels of so.

The World Toduy

WASHINGTON LN--Bit by bit ths
Eisenhower administration plar
for wrestling with its gigantic TAI
problem 10 taking shape In al ma
jor aspects except one.
The White House has made 4
crystal clear that:
/. Barring unexpected emersen
cies, an average 10 per cent Gu
lin individual income taxes viii
take effect as scheduled mex
Jan. /.
2. The excess profits tax on cor
lporations will expire completely
on Jan. /, also as scheduled.
President Eisenhower has sough'
to eliminate a national retail salei
tax from the picture.
That leaves two broad course,
|of action:
1. A juggling Of the present sys
tenn Of varying excise taxes, pos
sibly to cover items not now taxed
2. A uniform national sales tai
at the manufacturers level.
It's too early 10 tell which way
the administration viii swing. IN.
answer may hinge on the greater
revenue yield from q general man
|ufacturers' sales tax, stacket
against q hostile reaction in Con
gress to such q proposal.
Or, on the other hand, the goa
Of q balanced budget could be sac.
rificed for the present.
At any rate. congressional tar
authorities estimate that one ID
three billions In revenue could be
raised by refigurine selectivs
sales taxes. The trend would be
toward q more universal and uni.
form tax, but the trend under this
proposal would stop short of q
blanket sales tax.
Present rates include 70 per cent
on the retail price Of jewelry, flrs,
luggage, women's handbags, and
cosmetics; 10 per cent at the manu-.
facturers' level on autos, electric
and gas stoves. refrigerators, dish.
washers, television sets, radios
and some smaller sppliances. Is
per cent on manufacturers sales
Of sporting goods; 20 per cent on
manufacturers sales OF cameras
and film.
