Go|dsfein Proposes
Maryland Counties
Gef 1O96 Of Sales Tax
BY The AsseeidiSd Press

ANNAPOLIS. Mar. 6Senate
Majority Leader Goldstein today
proposed giving Baltimore and
the counties 20 per cent Of the
State sales tax.
Mr.. Goldstein threw a bill dis
tributing that much Of the pro-
ceeds of the 2 per cent levy
on retail sales into an expanding
satchel Of tax measures under
study by the Legislature.
He suggested returning cne-
fifth Of the tax to the county
or Baltimore City-in which
it was collected.
On the basis Of estimates for
the next fiscal year, that would
mean So million for the subdi-
visions to split.
It also would cut that much
of a hole in revenues on which
Gov. McKeldin depended to
balance his 1953-54 budget of
$195 million. For that reason.
even if the bill passed, its effect
might be postponed another

what he means, can't you? Loads
of curls and f1uffs and hair fly

flowers and one looks like some
thing blown in by the wind.
Even if you cannot go to a
salon for help in the use of
natural blooms. you can use
flowers yourself. 1t is best not
to try to be elaborate if you do
it yourself, but you can place
one or two blossoms where theS
are most becoming to you. You
should consider the shape of
your face and your hair line
when deciding where to place
the flowers.
If you have a long thin face
you should not place the flowers
on top of your head. You would
do better to place one above
each ear. If you have a round
face then you can add height on
top.
This is just one Of those little
tricks which take us out of

make us feel glamorous. It is
also practical because there is

How Older Woman Is Fitted
For the Job Of Receptionist

AS soon as Mrs. j. G. saw her
experience in this light, the prob
lem was easier.
suggested that she approach
some of the advertising agencies
or other firms which are in the
business of public service. The
receptionist in such organizations
needs to be a diplomat. above
all else. Visitors must be treated
pleasantly even though there are
hundreds of them in day. The
creative and tempermental mem
bers of the staff must be gently
badgered into telling her when
they are leaving their Offices
and when they will return. This
kind Of tactful needing Mrs. j..
G. had been doing for years.
One of the large advertising
agencies hired Mrs. j. G. and it
was a very wise move. Her ma
ture poise, calm manner and dig
nif1ed appearance make her seem
like a very intelligent hostess
presiding over their delightful
reception room. How much better
this is for business than the Sc
lection of a young girl whose only
qualifications are a candy-box
pretty face and. all too fire.
uuently, a naughty manner that
makes even important callers feel
like intruders!
Industry is beginning to real
ize that the job of receptionist
often requires more judgement
than it is fair to expect OF young
people. The older woman whose
background has called for her to
use such judgement in the social
world would do well to consider
this field.

ANSWER: AS you well know,
love at first sight is a favorite
theme of poets and novelists. It
happens in real life frequently
enough to justify their enthusi-

people think. Many a "love at

limbo after a few months.

Sisters Should
Learn Respect
For Property
Rx MurieI Nissen

DEAR MISS N1SSEN: am
one Of family of five girls. I'm
the oldest, earn my on money
and pay for everything I have.
Naturally, I want to keep my
things nice, but my sisters invade
my room, take whatever wearing
apparel they want. and return it,
but not in the condition in which
they found it. My mother re-
fuses to say anything to them,
and, though my father sympa-
thizes with me, it doesn't do any
good. Even my three-year -old
sister goes into my boxes and
takes things.
ANSWER: Pride of possession
should be fostered, especially in
young girls. Naturally, one
shouldn't reach the point where
belongings are the beginning and
end of existence. but if you like
nice things, and work to earn
them, you should be encouraged
to keep them in good condition.
Instead of permitting your sis
ters to take anything of yours
they want, your mother should
encourage them to have pride in
their own possessions. By help
ing them earn money for special
things, she can teach them the
value Of personal belongings far
better than by silently abetting
them in the depredationS of your
property.
Members of a family should
know the value of sharing, but
wholesale borrowing of another's
belongings is self1shness. espe-
cially when there Is a complete
disregard for the condition in
which they are returned. If your
sisters won't heed your plea to
stay away from your dresser,
your mother should permit you
to have at least one drawer
with lock.
In a large family of girls,
there's bound to be a certain
amount of good-natured borrow
ing, and this I hope you won't
refuse. The younger girls should
be taught to return borrowed
f1nery in good condition, and you
should all benefit by this inter-
change of clothing, etc. There
should be limits, however, and
these are up to your mother to
decide.

There is no doubt that the MIG, for all its

into nose dive from which it cannot possibly
