No Smoking, Or Chewing, Or Nuthin'
Mrs. Nina w. Lord, New Jersey
delegate to the upcoming Demo-
cratic National Convention would
prohibit smoking at the Chicago
extravaganza. The no-smoking sug-
gestion was presented to all mem
bers of the National Committee in
a letter in which Mrs. Lord re-
called the flash fire at the 1852
convention that was quickly ex-
tinguished.
We heartily endorse the lady's
sentiments, irrespective of the
hazard question. Further, we think
it should be extended to include
food and beverages, even chewing
gum, peanuts and crackerjack-
and the same rules adopted by the
Republicans in San Francisco.
Why Worry?
Louisiana's Democratic Senator
Russell B. Long told the Senate
Finance Committee the other day
that he can't see any need for
boosting highway taxes to pay for
that big new road program. No
body is suggesting spending more
than two billion year on the
project, he said, "and we are rails
ing that much by existing vehicle
taxes
Considering this is the second
year of the highway hassle. we
can't help wondering why some
body didn't think of that before.

Love That Bill
In sponsoring the Kennedy-Payne
accounting reform bill, Senator
Harry F. Byrd declared that he
had been trying for ten years to
achieve one of its major detectives,
to end the carrying over by Govern
ment agencies of enormous unspent
balances from year to year. Except
where long-range programs (that
can not be completed in year, are
involved, the new bill would re-
quire an agency to turn back it's
left over money to the Treasury at
the end of each fiscal year.
Considering that the current to-
tai of such old, left over money is
IA billion dollars, we can all wish
that Senator Byrd had reached this
goal ten years ago. That kind of
money would allow for quite tax
reduction.
Have We Lost Something?
Back in the days when your
scribe went to school, and teachers
were more hard-boiled than pres
emily, nobody ever had to get a
goose egg in an exam Even if he
didn't answer any of the questions
correctly, he'd get ten percent if
his errors and lack of knowledge
were neatly set forth.
Today, employers from one end
of the country to another are
tearing their hair over the high
cost of sloppy handwriting. Illegi-
Bile names and addresses undeci-
pherable orders and receipts: tally
sheets, check lists, memos and in
structions that can't be decoded,
add up to millions in annual bust
ness losses. So we wonder what
ever happened to that "ten per
cent for neatness?"
Perhaps the Handwriting Foun-
dation, the group that was set up
to study the problem and try out
ways and means of encouraging
people to write more legibly, should
consider this old-fashioned custom
that was once popular with the
Three RS trade. The Formation
might bring its influence to bear
on today's educators to reinstitute
this practice of rewarding the
pains-taking. If a document is

A PRAYER FOR PEACE

As we pause on Memorial Day to honor
the memory of those who died in battle, let
us pray, each in his innerrnost heart, that
never again shall war destroy the flower
of our youth.
1t is noteworthy that our President, who
achieved world renown as man of battle.
today is a world leader dedicated to peace.
May we beseech Almighty God SO to guide
him, so to strengthen our resolve and our
arms, that we shall be able to preserve our
freedom despite the threats against it, and
yet maintain peace in our land and the world.

The proposed game room in the
Y is room nthe basement, large
enough TO accommodate several
ping-pong and pool tables. First,
however, the room must have fin
ished ceiling, walls, floor, and
adequate lighting. This is what the
Kiwanians hope to provide through
the receipts from this sales tax
stamp collecting campaign.
Watch for these collection con-
tainers, marked East Cleveland

City Tax Rate
Lowest School,
Third Lowest

With the publication of the Off
cial tax rates of all the municipali-
ties in the county by County Treas
urer James M. Brennan, taxing dis
tricts are enabled to compare their
own rates with those of their
neighbors.
The detailed rates and taxation
will be found elsewhere in this
issue.
In this list Of fourteen cities, East
Cleveland's overall tax rate of 2.72
mills per hundred valuation, is the
lowest in the county.
East Cleveland's school rate and
the city's rate for its own needs are
third from the bottom in these re-
spective listings.
East Cleveland city rate is 0.73
to which is added the school rate of
1853. The taxpayer also pays a
county rate of 80 and a state tax
Of .02 for veteran benefits, all of
which adds up to the total, 2.72.
Commenting on the city's low tax
rate and the reasons for it, City
Finance Director, 6. T. Apthorp,
points out that East Cleveland is an
economical city to operate since its
10000 population is concentrated
within an area Of three square miles

places where to save. The city is

The city's small debt, the lowest
