GOVERNMENT CAN'T BE
BUSINESSLIKE

Government-by its very nature-just
can't be businesslike in conducting CONNER
cial business undertakings because it is
financed and supported by the taxpayers.
A good example of this is the parcel post
service. 1t was comparative latecomer to
the roster of jobs performed by the post
office department. And when Congress did
authorize it, shortly before World War l.
1T was specified that the service should be
self-sustaining and should not compete un-
fairly with private parcel carriers.
Actually, however, parcel post has sus-
tanned heavy deficits over most of it's his
tory as Hoover Commission and other
factual reports amply prove. This means
that ,1on-users of the service have paid a
part Cf the costs of the users of the service.
1t also means that parcel post, like any tax
subsidized enterprise, is an example of gross
ly unfair competition.
There is a statistical argument going on
now as to whether parcel post is currently
paying its own way or not. But that argu-
ment, whatever the merits of either side,
cannot be resolved conclusively. Maybe,
arithmetically, parcel post charges cover the
superficial costs-maybe they don't. But,
either way, parcel post is tax free. Either
way, it receives many special favors and ad-
vantages from government, simply because
it is a part of the post office system and
shares in all the post Offices government
provided facilities.
Government is not profit-making enter
prise, and it shouldn't be. And government
was never established to enter business fields
which are the proper domain of tax-paying,
self-supporting private enterprise.

RISING VICE PRESIDENCY

This year of 1856 seems to be the year
when the vice presidency is coming into its
own. Irving G. Williams, chairman of the
departments OF history and social studies at
st. Johns University, has written learned
and comprehensive book on the subject, "The
Rise of the Vice Presidency"
This is valuable addition to the litera-
ture of American government. Until quite
recently, few of lis have been aware of the
Importance of our second national executive
office, and yet the fact is that approximately
one-third of our vice presidents have sue
ceeded to the presidency.
In the beginning, the Founding Fathers
believed that the vice president should be the
No. man-that is, the man next best fitted
to fill the chief executive office. AS the years
went by, however, and down to the admins
tratfon of Franklin Roosevelt, the vice pres
ident became more and more of a fgurehead,
the man who presided over the Senate.
Progressively, Roosevelt, Truman and
President Eisenhower have given more
weight to The vice presidency. Mr.. Eisenhow-
er has used Richard Nixon in a variety of
ways and has made him increasingly impor-
tant in the formulation of national policy
Today we are rapidly approaching the point
where the vice president is, in fact, what the
Founding Fathers intended he should be.

CROSSROADS LOGIC

The railroads apparently have a special
reason for not hurrying up with the elimina-
tion of grade crossings. While the chief rea-
son is the expense, another argument is pre-
sented by Alfred E. Parlman, president of
the New York Central
His road was asked to eliminate two mid
western crossings to speed the extension of a
rapid transit system. He declined, for an in
teresting reason:
'.The chief beneficiary of the elimination
will be the trucks. Why should we help our
chief competitors?'
This indirect comment will not help his
road with public opinion. He lays no stress
on saving the lives which sooner or later will
be lost at the crossings. Perhaps he thinks
that people could avoid danger by stopping
looking and listening when they come to rail-
road tracks.
In this he is right While there are many
blind crossings which take strange motorists
by surprise, too many of those injured and
killed at grade crossings are thoroughly ia
miliar with the neighborhood. These bring
their fate on themselves. But that is no
reason why crossing elimination should be
considered merely as move in the compe-
tition between train and truck.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

Early in this century, and during al the
long generations before that, the housewife
bought meat for the family table at her own
and the family ys--risk. If she was dis
corning buyer and had good butcher, she
was able to buy good meat But even under
those conditions she had no assurance that
the meat was wholesome, free from disease.
This has all been changed, thanks to the
federal meat inspection system. Under this
system, most of the meat produced in the
United States must pass tests of cleanliness
and wholesomeness before it may be sold.
The familiar purple stamp of the inspectors
has become guarantee of quality.
We mention this because the law requir-
ing the meat inspection system was passed
half a century ago this summer. 1t is date
worth bit of commemoration.

LITTLE-KNOWN CONQUEST

Many who think they know great deal
about the history Of the second World War
do not know that the German feats included
the conquest of some British territory. 1t
was the first time in centuries that this had
happened. The territory in question is the
Channel Islands, lying between England and
France.
The Channel Islands belonged to the old
duehy of Normandy, whose most famous
duke, William the Conqueror, added England
to his domains in 1866. Ever since, they have
been an English possession. Many of the in
habitants are of French blood and speak a
French dialect. Great Britain has allowed
them to keep their own officials.
In the German advance in 1940 the Brit
ish made no effort to defend the islands, feel
ing that the cost would be too great. The
Germans took over, but ruled with surprising
mildness, as is brought out in the new book,
Islands in Danger" by Alan and Mary
Wood Towards the end of the war Hitler
took the notion to fortify the islands, shipped
in many slave workers, and destroyed many
farms in the process of the construction. The
islands were redeemed from German rule
in May, 1916.

Beach Bird
An afternoon Of sea and sand Is fun but firing for
children Here's the solution for mapping at the bes

aking nap inside terry-cloth duck
is much more fun than Snoozing on a
plain old bed or just ordinary sand at
the beach. You'd think this would be
obvious, but no one capitalized on the
idea until Dorothy Stevens and lone
Sutton of Stevens Industries got busy
on this practical beach bird. The 81
inch-lone duck is made of yellow terry
cloth on top, with bottom of quilted
striped denim.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-06-24

The head is stuffed with non-allergic
plastic foam, has green button eyes and
orange feet and a bill that quacks when
pressed. Completely machine-wash-
able, the duck makes a wonderful
beach mat, nap bag or rug.
Also made by the same company are
washable corduroy tigers and leopards
which are designed to serve the same
purpose for indoor maps or television

Visits This Area

S. A. Jensen, travelling repre-
sentative for the Watchtower So
ciety, is visiting the local con-
gregation of Jehovah's Witnesses
this week, Oct. 8 through IA, ac-
cording to Lynn V. Speakerworth,
presiding minister.
Mr.. Jensen's work IS circuit
supervisor takes him over west
ern North Dakota and into east
ern Montana and northern Wy
oming, visiting the various con-
gregations of Jehovah's witnesses
in the area, instructing and train
ing them in the practical use Of
the Bible as a means of fortify-
ing the spiritual. morale of peo-
ple enabling them to combat the
ever rising threat of anti-ChEs-
tan materialism of our genera
ton.
Mr.. Jensen's visit with the To-
cal congregation began Tuesday
evening with instruction in the
ministry development and Bible
speaking classes, and will con-
tinue through the week featuring
talks and other ministerial &C
tivities, concluding with a free
public address at the NYA hall
in Sidney Sunday, October IA at
3 p. m.
His talk will be on the sub
ject; HAS Gods Purpose for
Mankind Failed"
All interested persons are in
vited to attend.

Since the laying flock cannot
do its best if it is pestered with
lice, a good cleanup before the
birds go into the winter Will be
profitable for the poultryman.
An effective insecticide that IS
easy to apply is lindane. Mix n
and one-half onces of rs percent
wettable lindance powder In 10
gallons of water and use the So
luton as a spray on roosts, walls
and litter. Fumes from the lin
dance will kill the lice and there
will be some residual action Tor
some time. To obtain the best
results, be sure the birds are on
the treated roosts the first night
after application.
Sodium fluoride is also effec-
tive in controlling lice. Dust the
birds with sodium fluoride, MAX
ing especially sure that the pow
der gets into the fluff feathers
below the vent, under each wing
and in the neck feathers. How
ever do not get any powder in
the birds eye since it is very
irritating. The operator should
protect his nose and mouth while
busting.
Another preparation that may
be used for control of lice is nico-
tine sulphate, commonly called
Black Leaf 40. This may be paint
ed or sprayed on the roosts about
a half hour before the birds GO
onto them. The nicotine fumes
penetrate the feathers and kill
the lice.
For information on controlling
other parasites of poultry, the
extension leaflet, "Parasite-Free
Poultry Pay LYarger Profits, is
available at the Extension Office.
