President Eisenhower
Sustuins De Cdstros
Veto Of Lottery Bill

President Eisenhower has up
held the action Of former Gov
ernor de Castro in disapprov-
ing a bill passed over his veto
by the 81. Thomas Municipal
Council which would have ex
empted lottery prizes from
taxes.
The President stated: "The
ordinance passed by the Muni-
cipal Council would benefit
the winners Of lottery prizes
by exempting such gains from
income taxes. There is no
evidence that this would in
crease the sales Of lottery tic
kets sufficiently to return
more revenue to the munich
palities. Instead, the prospect
is. for decrease in revenue and
a greater dependency Of the
municipalities upon Federal
grants to meet their operating
costs. Therefore, I concur in
your view, as expressed in
your veto letters, that prizes
won in the local lotteries of
the Virgin Islands should not
be exempt from taxes
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1954-02-11

Tt all began just a scoEe of years ago as simply as this:
Two men talking about Button :. agreeing that it is a town
of MANY advantages bud noting that unlike most progress
sive communities, it could not boast a single service club.
And so it was, that only a short time. later, when an evangelist
of Lionism came along, he found open ears and a welcome
reception. That was the beginning of the Button Lions
club.
In the 20 wears that have followed, the club has been
part and parcel of most of the worthwhile civic projects. 1t
has been as quick to respond To a call for help on the projects
of others, as it has been to plan and execute ideas of It's own
for community betterment.
Reviewing just a few of the club projects, B~lufftonites
will recall how the club sponsored the first community sales
in this area :. their contributions to the operation of Buck
eye pool and the building OLA pool float. The Lions were
among the first to back the Sewer project back in the 30s,
and they helped instigate and promote the first effective
MOSQUITO control as community health measures. Lions have
sold tickets to boost college, football, provided Christmas
baskets for the needy .theRlub actively sponsored the new
Post Office building paidfora room in Community Hos
pital put up the first complete set of street signs E. helped
promote the establishment of state route 696, just to mention
few. Only this week the Lions have completed their peren-
NAL task of conducting the March of Dimes campaign, and
again breaking all former records of its success.
And so, on the goth birthday of the Lions Club, we join
with the community in congratllating the organization on it's
fine record of achievements on behalf of Blufton. COngratu-
lations to the founders the two men with an idea &c. the
20 charter members, and congratulations also to those who
have carried on the spirit of community service through this
score of years.

"This will be the year of the consumer. This will be the
year you-as the buyer of everything from autos to houses,
from food to furniture-Wil come into your own. You will be
supreme in the market place."
That happy prediction was made by Sylvia Porter, a
well known business analyst whose'syndicatedc column runs in
many daily papers. She also writes, Taxes, prices, supplies,
quality, research, competition, advertising, salesmanship-al
are moving in your favor"
If all that comes to pass-and most observers in and out
of business are in general agreement-it will be for but one
reason: the working of the supply and demand principle in a
free, competitive business world. Due to the unparalleled
efficiency of mass production and its equally important ally,
mass distribution, practically all shortages have been over
come. Almost everything is available in abundance-as a
glance at the advertisements and shelves of stores in every
retail field will demonstrate to you.N And when that is the
case, the consumer is king.
This is true of the free enterprise system only. Every
time we make a purchase, We should give that system the
tribute that is its due.

LETTER
TO THE EDITOR

Dear Sir:
In this small, Friendly, Christian
community things seldom happen to
arouse the ire On its citizens, but
within a m week period we have
been aroused to he fact that every
n IN this area Isn't as friendly as
We would like to believe.
The first thin was the stealing of
Polio money. lis is something that
will affect the lies of all of us. If a
new vaccine is gDund, how wonderful
for mankind.
The second ting concerns only our
immediate fanny and friends, and
all people who love pets. We lost
another puppy last Wednesday after
noon. The peeson responsible for
hVlrN this puppy never stopped to
exAreM his on her sympathy. He
2sdst Reel verF good, why shouldn't
he? A His bafking average is 1000.
Within a 2 year period he has killed
3 of our pets We are reasonably
sure that it m&8st be the same person.
There couldn9 be 3 people in this
area that haze no feelings when it
comes to a ehild's pet. Besides the
records are al the same-Hit and
Run.
~
Well, for bur information, Mr.. or
Mrs. Heartheaker, you didn't do too
good a job sn this last one. No, he
had TO suffsf from Wednesday after
noon to Friday P. M. Don't say you
didn't see tbs puppy. He was white
and last Wednesday was a nice day,
no snow until Thursday. We can't
say that il could have been avoided,
no one saw the circumstances, but
you surely knew it could be nothing
but a child's pet. He only weighed
3 fbsy not exactly a good weight for
a watch dog.

Those Good old Days

Now and then we read nostalgia accounts of commodity
prices of the past. Reproductions of old advertisements and
menus are particularly impressive in this regard. For, as a
rule, the prices quoted are almost unbelievably low in the
light of present levels.
It's only human to sigh with regret for the passing of
those good old days, and to resent the living costs we must
cope with now. But there is another side to the coin-and a
very important side. The fact isthat when prices are related
to current wages and salaries ard family purchasing power,
it is found that in most cases we're getting a better deal now
than in the past.
Take a commodity which practically every American
family buys and consumes everyaday-meat. Like everything
else, it costs more than it did Id or 20 or some other given
number of years ago. But, acconing to Department of Agri-
culture figures, we have been sIending a smaller percentage
of our disposable income for meat than we did in 1941. And
last year, believe it or not, the percentage of disposable in
come so spent was the smallest i1modern history, save during
wartime when widespread black markets resulting from gov
eminent controls made really accurate and reliable price
comparisons impossible.
So far as prices are concerned, the good old days"
weren't nearly SO good as many believe.

SoIt Shaker Helps
Apply Insecticide

It is now possible to control
flies that have become resistant
to DDT and other chlorinated
hydrocarbon insecticides by using
the old-fashioned salt shaker.
Scientists of the Agriculture
Department report that flies re-
sistant to DDT may be controlled
by a mixture of sugar and or
ganic phosphate insecticides. The
mixture. they said, is shaken like
salt onto the floors of barns and
other livestock buildings.
The scientists said three phos-
phate insecticides - malathion
diazinon and a dialkyl phosphate
material-were tested, and when
used in dairy barns and poultry
houses 80 percent of the fly pop
ulation that had been resistant
to other chemicals was killed In
four hours.
The three phosphates appear
to be well suited for farm use
because of their effectiveness
against flies and their low tox-
icity to livestock and humans
the scientists said.
In the tests, excellent results
were obtained by using about 3.S
ounces Of bait in each building
In addition. 1t was stated. the
new chemical treatment is less
expensive than other chemicals
