AGREEMENT ON


Some of the best news out of
Washington this year came re-
Gently when it was announced
that President Eisenhower had
reached an agreement with Dem
ocratic congressional leaders on
a system for financing a super
highway system. House Republi-
can leader Joseph Martin, of
Massachusetts, announced that
the President had agreed to a
Democratic proposal for financ-
ing the super-highway system.
This means Congress will prob
ably pass the Presidents high
way program this year in rather
speedy fashion since last year,
the feature of the program which
killed it in the end, was the
Presidents proposed system of
financing the huge project.
The next thing the people of
this country have a right to ex-
pect is that the President, and
Congress, agree on a farm-relief
program. There is already spec
ulation that a deadlock will de-
velop between the Democratic
controlled Congress and the
President, and it is widely fore
cast that the President will veto
any farm bill with ninety per
cent price supports contained in
it.
In view of the situation on the
farms of the country today, it
would seem prudent for the Pres
ident, and Congress, to place the
necessity for reaching a compro-
mise on the farm bill - one
which can be enacted quickly -
above all other needs in the farm
field.
This is not the time for Con-
gress and the President to waste
valuable time in controversy over
details of the new farm program.

WHY MONACANS
ARE OVERLOOKED

In the frenzy of excitement
and JOY caused by the announce
ment of the coming marriage OF
Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier
III, some have overlooked the
underlying reason for the JOY
of MonacanS.
This is very simple. Monacans,
under an old treaty with France,
are free from French authority
and taxes. Since famous Monte
Carlo is within Monaco, and since
the money derived from this
gambling mecca is what Prince
Rainier and Grace Kelly will en-
JOY in the form of income, the
principally of Monaco has had
few financial problems.
In other words, it has had no
money problems because gam
bling has been allowed - where
other countries took measures to
eliminate it. The gambling money
has been sufficient to take care
of all of the 370-acre principali-
tvs financial needs, and then
some, since people from all over
Europe go to Monte Carlo to
lose their money.
A provision in Monaco's treaty
with France, however, provides
that France will take over the
principality if Prince Rainier III
has no heir. In other words, if
France took over Monaco, Mon
acans feel that gambling might
be abolished and that they would
be certain to come in for French
taxes whether or not gambling
was abolished.
Thus, the joy of Monacans is
due directly to the belief that
Miss Kelly will bear Prince Raj
nier a child. In doing so, she will
be automatically exempting the
10000 residents from future in
come taxes.

fame as the birthday month o,
great Americans. George Wash
ington, the founder of the coun-
try and Abraham Lincoln, who
saved the Union, were born ir
February.
George Washington was born
on February %, 1882. Like sc
many of our. early Presidents
Washington was from Virginia
Without Washington'S persever-
ance. fortitude and leadership
the colonies would never have
won their freedom from England,
His long struggle against the
British, which lasted about seven
years, eliminated in indepen-
dence.
AS a president, the nation OBJ
served his birthday anniversary
the first year he was President,
but, in a few years, his political
opponents succeeded in ending
these observanceS. In later years,
however, the custom was resum-
ed and considerably broadened.
Finally, Washington became we'll
recognized as the Father of his
country. His status has continued
to grow to this day.
Abraham Lincoln saved the
Union. which Washington had
started on its way. Lincoln was
born in Kentucky, on February
IL, 1909. His early life was often
punctuated by bitter failures.
AS was the case with Wash
ington, however, Lincoln's pa
tience, perseverance and deter
mination paid off and brought
him to the Senate from Illinois,
and later, gave him a Presi-
Dental nomination. His career
was a story-book career, that of a
log-cabin boy who ended up in
the White House.
Lincoln did not desire a war
between the states, but when he
saw. in 1861, that the use of
force might be the only way the
Union could be saved, he ably
Unanswered to unite the country
and he succeeded in getting his
opponents to fire the first shot
at the flag of the United States.
This was a major strategic stroke,
as was his Emancipation Procla-
nation, freeing the Negroes of
the South
Contrary to popular belief, free
ing the Negroes was not the pur-
pose of Lincoln, or the Republi-
can party, in 1860, at least, in a
1ne-stroke move. However, when
Lincoln announced the emanci-
of the slaves, he won
world wide support for his cause.
The greatest tragedy which
Gould have occurred in the coun-
ny in Lincoln's era, took place
when the wartime President was
lssassinated by John Wilkes
3oothe. The result was a bitter
construction period for the

FEBRUARY


"The trees stand wistful in the
square,
Wearing a half-expectant air.
The sky is a slender silver bell,
That waits to sound the knell,
OF Winter.
Anne Mary Lawler
The month of February gets
its name from a Latin word
meaning tc purify. The word was
"februare," and on the fifteenth
day of the month the Romans
held a goat-sacrificing festival.
The Saxons had another name
for February, calling it Sprote-
kale. This name, interestingly,
was derived from the fact that
kale sprouted at that time of
the year.
According to ancient British
weather beliefs, the state of the
weather on the twelfth, thirteenth
and fourteenth days of February
forecast the kind of weather
which would follow the rest of
the year. The determination of
the forecast was simple.
If these three days were stormy,
then the weather for that year
would be generally fair. If how
ever, these three days were
fair, the weather would be gen.
orally stormy.
Weather forecasting has pro-
crossed quite a bit since those
days, although the results of the
forecast are about the same. The
methods. however, are more COM
plicated. even if the accuracy is
not.
February is probably best
known in America because of its

what you get and what it costs. You'll
like what you see.
Look at the costs. Ford's first cost is low.
Resale value is high. Modern Short Stroke

Maintenance costs are lower, too, because

Bethesda Chevy Chase prob
ably will win most Of its foot
ball games this fall. But tas
long as our neck is out. let's put
it in the noose) the Barons do
not figure to win today.
st. Adams is the opponent.
Both teams have their 1855
backfields intact. According to
Coach Snakey Graham of the
Saints, B-CC will have the
advantage in the line--in size,
numbers, talent and experience
and Coach AL Sadusky Of
B-CC is not likely to disagree.
So, what's the equalizer for
st. Adams? Porter Shreve,
that's what.
AS the whole town must
realize by now. Shreve is a
remarkable athlete. There could
be some argument on whether
baseball or football is his best
sport, but his football ability
will do for the moment.
He's bigger (l90 pounds) and
faster than last year, when he
was the only junior on The
Stars All-Metropolitan team,
and Graham says his running
has improved, too. There never
was anything wrong with his
passing, which makes him a
double threat from the tailback
position, and Graham insists
he's equally good on defense.
For several summers. Shreve
has gone to camp in New Eng
land under the eye of George
Munger, for whom Graham once
played fullback at Pennsylvania.
In these cool ATTITUDES the
youngster worked out with col
lege football stars, most from
Penn who were counselors.
Although no longer the coach
of the Quakers. Munger never
theless is said to dream of the
day when Shreve enrolls at Penn.
Two years ago, before he was a
sophomore, the boy was the talk
of Munger's camp. The college
players couldn't complete a pass
in his territory; time and again
he was two inches above the re-
ceiver. On offense, Munger COM
pared him to Walt Hynoski. at
that time PENIS ace tailback.

SnOW Reminds
Bird LOUers Of
Feeding Chores

With the advent of the heavy snow
of the past week and the heavy crust
which has formed as a result of frigid
zero temperatures the early part of
this week local residents are remind
ed of the free bird feed which has
been made available at the News Of
fice by the Bluffton Community
Sportsmen's Club.
In order to keep the birds alive it
is imperative that residents of the
community supply grain, suet, or
crusts of bread and other types of
food. And this should be made readily
available, especially in this type of
weather. s
One authority on outdoor life dis
credits the spreading of grains on the
ground. The reason given is that it
will sink through the snow and soon
be covered.
This same authority, in addition to
bread crusts, bits cf cake, pie crusts,
grains of all kinds, suet and crack
hrgs, recommends peanut butter as
welcome and nourishing food for
birds. And, it can be spread on trees
or posts for easy accessibility.
Sunfiower seeds, while more expen-
sive than others, are highly recon-
mended for wide variety of birds.
