Trucking Industry View
The AAA position was attack

mour. president Of the Indepen-
dent Advisory Committee to the
Trucking Industry.

of the Boggs bill who
want trucks to pay a higher rate
of tax than other highway users
such as passenger cars" he de-
by any reasonable
trucks have always paid
their share and do so now. We
no longer hear many suggestions
that trucks break up the roads.
The false arguments along this
line have been completely dis
PEELED by actual road tests.
II have read a good deal of
misleading propaganda put out
by opponents of this legislation.
These opponents are short
sighted and unrealistic I do
not believe that the people OPP
posing this bill truly support
those whom they are supposed
to represent. The millions of
car owners in this
country cannot be so short
sighted as to seriously oppose
an essential bodybuilding pro-

Public Roads for detailed in
formation concerning the effect
which heavy commercial vehicles
have on the construction and
maintenance costs of highways
and bridges. Mr.. Boggs told
the witnesses that the commit
tee thus far has been unable to
obtain factual data indicating
that tax differential against
heavy trucks was justified by
any such unusually large costs
in highway building.

Her Hobby Aids Vocations
Artists Pay
Sent Directly
To Seninaries

A North Side mother with
a penchant for painting has
devised a unique way to put
her hobby to work in behalf
of the Church.
Talented and Jealous, Mrs.
Dorothy E. Kerns of st. JAM
es parish has decided to be-
gin a portrait coloring busi-
ness. But what IS even more note
worthy is the fact that Mrs
Kerns is quite enthused at the
fact that she won't make cent
in her new venture.
Here is the way the business
will operate:
Catholics will bring portrait
or two for Mrs herns to color
at her home at 1857 Oakland
Park Ave. When the work is
completed, her customers" will
put their payment in an enve-
lope which they must address
to ST. Charles Seminary or any
other seminary of their choice
Her patrons, moreover, will drop
the letter in a mail box, con-
veniently located stones throw
from the Kerns' front door,
Il don't want any part of the
money" said Mrs. Kerns. Il don't
even " ut to handle it !"
The eonsenial housewife, who
appropriately picked Vocation
Month as a time TO start her
business, is convinced that ev-
cry one concerned will benefit
from her plan.
In the first place, she said,
Catholics who patronize her can
cut down on their Photographic
bills by some 81 per cent As an
example, she will color an eight
by 10 inch portrait for S1.50.
(Some studios charge $3.50 and
up for the same work.
Her customers, too, will re-
ceive more than their moneys
worth because Mrs. Kerns can
WELD a paint brush as handily
as she can a dust cloth. In fact
she colors portraits (mostly

- luCIuulIlS It's recommendation
for exemption in its report to the
full committee.
The proposal would release the
schools from paying the Federal
excise tax on telephone calls and
transportation charges as well as
on retail and manufacturer pur-
chases of such items as gasoline,
school buses, typewriters and
sports equipment.
Public schools, because of their
status as agencies of local govern
ment units, do not have to pay
the excise taxes
Several school spokesmen
have cited illustrations OF the
excise tax cost TO private
schools. One Catholic university
paid out about SAT 500 tax on
communications in the past five
years. In The same length Of
time, another school had to pay
total of about S56,380 for var
ious taxable items.
The Treasury Department has
consistently opposed exempting
the private schools. Spokesman
for the agency have argued that
such move would involve "a

pub education as we find it
and we aren't - we certainly
can't expect to change it much
by complaining or condemning.
What we must do is to seize every
opportunity we have. as parents
and citizens, to improve our ma
tons schools.
Instead OF looking on The
public schools as their schools,
we need 10 realize that both
the paroehisl and the public
schools are ours We have an
interest in them, and | think
we have . real responsibility
TO do everything we can TO
improve Them" said Mr.. Nc.
Neill.
The Catholics obligation to
take an interest in public school
affairs stems from the fact that
these institutions are conducted
by government units, he said
I'VE have every right to use
our influence as citizens TO
guide she destinies OF our pub
lie schools, insofsr as we can.
Though we want ouI children
to get the kind of complete edu-
cation that can be given only in
our thoroughly Catholic schools,
/ think we have a real obligation
to use our good influences on the
public schools, which after all are
training 85 out of every 100
American boys and girls, includ-
ing millions of Catholic children
for whom the parochial schools
have no room," Mr.. McNeill said.
The speaker was delegate to
the White House Conference on
Education held in November.
