gates from fences, soaping windows and all
that sort of carrying on The carnival idea
worked too, except that there were still those
hardened criminals who would sneak away
from the celebration and pursue their lawless,
wanton ways all the more uninhibited because
few people were home,
All this and much more went on year after
year, but the words hoodlum and vandal were
never heard. These activities were referred to
as mischief After all, one doesn't think Of
child az a delinquent when one has gone to
school with that child's mother or played foot
ball with his father. Nobody ever accused these
kids of being criminals, because everybody
knew perfectly well that they were nothing Of
the kind. And so, they were not driven off
with threats and epithets and made to feel like
outcasts. If these children had had such accu-
sations hurled at them who knows but what
some of them might have tried to live up to
the part by becoming full-fledged Weapon-tot-
ing gangsters. In spite of the annoyance in
volved in being the victim of young pranksters
somehow smalltown folks seemed to look upon
such things as gowing pains which they shared
and shared alike.

criminals has become City Manager in the Ole

young pranksters these days, but I hope his

To cast a first-class vote, the voter must be
able to recognize those platforms and state

any voting group. II is not enough to vote only

they do not name you
For example, if you have a limited or small
income you are deeply concerned about whether
or not Congress increases personal exemptions
TO 100000. If you make only 100000 the in
crease would bring your income tax To nothing,
and you would be helped The present rate Of
exemption is 100000 If you made more than
$500 last year you paid tax on the over am

would be benefited by the 100000 exemption.
So if you name a small salary or wage, you
vote for the 100000 exemption; that is, for

the lower exemption, the greater the number
