Some say a good way to get to
sleep without taking a pill is not
to care whether or not you 90 to
sleep. Attention to it holds it off.
More than one person has walked
up to see whether he was going to
sleep!
A healthy appearing woman once
went to see Dr. Josephine Jackson,
noted authority in this field. Il
came to get relief from insomnia, -
she said. For 20 years | haven't
slept more than one or two hours
a night" "Why do you want
more?" the doctor asked. why
isn't it very unhealthy not tc
sleep?" Evidently not" was the
answer.
Cecil B. DeMille says that read
ing the Bible is the best way he
can get to sleep. That's Frederick
March's testimony, too. Take such
passage as in peace will l both
lay me down and sleep, for thou,
the Lord, makest me to dwell in
safety" There's little to equal the
23rd or 91st Psalms. Try this and
see whether or not it works for
you. Maybe you'll find you won't
need pill, the word that can
change your life.

publican Party came to power they
accepted unpaid bills from the Tru-
man Administration totaling APP
proximately 70 billion dollars.
These bills were for obligations
which the Truman administration
had made but had not paid for.
In addition, the government had
been borrowing for over twenty
years and the Federal debt was al
most to the statutory limit The
Federal Government had to con-
tinue supplying necessary services
to the people and to provide for
our national defense. Therefore,
the Eisenhower Administration ac-
cepted the responsibility Of not
only raising revenue to meet its
own current expenditures but to
pay off back debts as well.
1t was pointed out recently that
if all the revenue the government
had received from the time Presi-
dent Eisenhower came into office
until the present had been set
aside in its entirety, it would bare
ly be sufficient to pay for the I'M
recorded bills of the Truman Adj
ministration-bil which had not
been included in the national debt
figure.
Tax cuts-if they are to have
the desired effect on our national
economy and permit the Federal
Government to meet its obliga-
tions without contributing to infla-
ton or deflation-must be care
fully placed.
Right now there is lot of talk
about a down swing in our econo-
my and one way of hating this
adverse trend is to stimulate bust
ness and consumption. Tax cuts
to effect this cannot be delayed for
period of months or a year, as
income tax reductions effective in
1855 would be.
Therefore, we can expect these
reductions in excise taxes to have
a stimulating impact on business
activity very promptly. The re-
auctions should become law by
Thursday of this week 1t is hoped
that they will help ward off I'M
employment and the decline of
production.
This Administrations tax and
spending program does not rely on
any appealing slogans like "trickle
down" and "percolate-up" but upon
the faith that the huge potential
of these United States can be made
to work for the general betterment
of our people, and the knowledge
that our economy is a delicately
balanced mechanism that needs
precise adjustments-not the ire
sponsible hand of an amateur me-
chanic.

Congressional
Viewpoint
Sen. John Marshall Butler

The subject Of taxation was
treated in a previous newsletter
devoted principally to an eXplana-
ton Of the Administrations tax
program and the reasons why |
thought it was generally sound
and deserved the support Of the
American people. Some sources
have tried to poison the wells Of
public opinion against the Admin
istration's tax program by labelling
it a "lich mans" tax bill. This is
not true. Here are some of the saw
ings the administration proposal
would provide the man who is not
"rich":
A deduction will be allowed on
all medical expenses over 80 of
gross income instead Of above So
as the old law provides. The maxi
mum dollar amount which may be
deducted as medical expenses
would be doubled. The Importance
Of this feature is illustrated by the
fact that more than 5 million tax
payers are able to take advantage
of these medical deductions. APP
proXimately 500 of those reaping
this benefit will have incomes less
than $4,000.
In certain cases, deduction up
to 5000 will be allowed for ex-
penses incurred for child care to
make it possible for a parent to
hold a job. This is intended es-
pecially to aid working mothers
who must pay nmsemaids or
nursery care.

President Delivers
Stute Of the Union
Message to Congress-

President Eisenhower deliv
cred his second State Of the
Union Message to the Eighty
third Congress yesterday. He
urged continuation Of the for
reign and welfare policies of
the New Deal but was heavily
applauded when he took an
unusually strong stand against
Communism.
The President proposed to
reduce the military budget
and also to cut taxes in rela-
ton to Government expendi-
lures. He brought on applause
however, when he suggested
that a law be passed that
would take away the citizen
ship of any American hereaf-s
ter convicted in the courts Of
conspiring to advocate the
overthrow of the UnitedStateS
Government by force or vio-
lence.
MIR. Eisenhowersa said that
the communist conspiracy is
akin to treason and should be
dealt with accordingly. Any
person convicted Of conspiring
armed overthrow Of the Gov
eminent should be treated as
having, by such act, renounc-
ed his allegiance to the US. &
forfeited his United States cit
izenship,' he said.

This Rock
Of Ours
By Bill Glib

The Boy Scouts have a beautiful
camp site up on West Summer
land Key. In previous years, the
grounds have been maintained by
the Overseas Road and Toll Bridge
District. County Commissioners
are now urging that the State
Road Board take over this main
tenance.
Obviously the County Commits
sionerS mean well but | think for
the sake of the boys who use the
camp, maintenance by an outside
organization should be limited
strictly to improvements which
could not be accomplished by the
Boy Scouts themselves - using
their own labor. =
Sounds harsh, huh? No. I'm not
a -pincher and like to see
beautiful parks as well as the next
fellow. However, 1 don't like to see
our young boys robbed of the
chance to 60 native up on the
Keys and work off little of their
win, wigor, and vitality Before
the County Commissioners brought
up this subject, / had already men,
toned to Commissioner Gerald
Saunders and to Scout Master Tony
Martinez that it appeared to me
that the Summerland Key camp
was being fixed up a little too for
NAL - a little too much like a
camp for dudes - for our boys
to really enjoy themselves.
We older folks mean well but we
have a tendency to forget our
younger days. Twelve to sixteen
year old boys are filled with an
ambition to accomplish things
themselves. They haven't develop
ed our aches and pains nor our am
bition to sit back in the shade and
let some government agency pro-
vide for our comfort. Pm one hun
dred per cent behind the State or
County taking over projects at the
Cap such as mosquito control or
using machinery to do jobs that
the boys could not do safely by
themselves. But let's leave the
youngsters with a few obstacles re-
curing scouting ability to over
come!

A somewhat similar situation ex-

Have you been following the

We suggest that you watch for

reporter Jim Cobb and City Ma
mayer Vic Lang: "Key Vests Traf.

criticism.
What are you doing to help our

What kind of idiotic nonsense is
this? Parents, teachers, and safety
educators struggle to impress on
young children that they should al
ways wait for a green light before
crossing the street and then a guy
in uniform who should know bet
ter, sets different example at the
street corner. Not only is the nor.
NAL flow of traffic interrupted but
the child loses its own initiative
through such humoring.
Safety is a habit forming pro-
position. Given the opportunity,
most children prefer to be indie
pendent and do things for them
selves. A police officer at school
crossings is there to impress upon
both motorists and school children
the necessity for obeying the law
not to humor or coddle anyone.
Except under emergency condi-
tons, law enforcement officers who
ignore mechanical safety devices
such as traffic lights are merely
making their work harder and con-
