Exit Josephine Hull

Miss Josephine Hull dead at 70, or
II there is always confusion about an
actress age even In the 70s), lived a
richly useful life.
For almost so years, Miss Hull was
a Joy to her fellow humans In the
theater. She impaired a merry sense Of
life, one that deepened with the years
until 1t reached It's richest meaning with
her performances as Elwood p. Dowd's
sister in Harvey" and the elderly stock
holder in THE Solid Gold Cadillac"
II was always conspicuous part of
this Joyous service of Miss Hull's that the
glamour her name bespoke on a theater
marquee was not the surface kind. She
was, indeed, singularly unglamorous in
facade; a short, casually shaped woman,
indeed comic figure.
Nevertheless, it was a figure that
outlasted the more spectacular ones OF
others of her sex, fact that may be
significant in our glamour -obsessed times.

Postal Deficits and Rates

With the postal deficit running well
over half billion dollars a year, the
administrations renewed efforts to obtain
a reasonable increase In postal rates
deserve active public support. And expert
ence with previous postal rate bills has
shown that strong public support is nee
essary to induce Congress to pass such
politically surcharged legislation
Postmaster General Summerfield has
disclosed that the Post ONCE Department
now is operating in the red to the extent
OF about $3.50 million a year. President
Eisenhower cited this perennial deficit
in urging Congress to approve a rate
structure that would materially reduce
the departments losses The admins
tration is not advocating that the depart
ment be operated strictly on a self
supporting basis, however 1t is conceded
that 1t has been the traditional policy of
the Government to share the cost OF
delivering certain types of mail, as a pub
lie service. But the subsidies for some
types of mail, notably printed matter,
have been wholly out of proportion to the
benefits derived by the public.
Ane leglSlaClOn winch Mr.. Summer
field has asked Congress to enact is SINH
lar in most respects to the bill which
the administration vainly sponsored last
year. 1t would provide for a one-cent
increase In the three-cent letter rate and
increases Of varying amounts for other
classes OF mail, including the costly Sec
ond and third class services. The latter
include newspapers. magazines and adj
vertising matter. Last year the House
finally voted for one-cent increase in
the first-class rate, but the Senate let the
measure die. We hope this Congress will
shove political considerations aside and
face up forthrightly to the postal deficit
problem. 1t could take $527- million bite
out OF the annual postal deficit by
approving the new rates proposed by
Mr.. Summerf1eld.

DeodIine April !

Secretary Of Treasury Humphrey was
appealing for legislative responsibility
ana the exercise of practical good sense
when he asked the Senate Finance Com
mittee not to mess up" the pending
bill to extend existing excise and corpo-
rate income tax rates. Already passed by
the House, the measure is needed to keep
present rates in effect for one more year
after April approximately 10 DAYS
hence. Failure to enact it could cost the
Government So billion In revenue, $2.2
billion OF 1t collectible In the fiscal wear
1853 1t Is in that year that the budget
estimates now under such heavy fire on
Capitol Hill forecast a surplus of $l.8
pnlon--a plus margin that would be more
tnan wiped out If the requested rate ex-
tensions are not authorized.
Principal threat to the legislation
on the Senate side has arisen from pro-
poSalS to modify the rate structure on
corporations with smaller incomes. On
several grounds, Mr.. Humphrey described
the proposals as discriminatory-flrst of
all against IS per cent of small business
enterprises which are not organized as
corporations; secondly against small in
veStors In large corporations and, thirdly.
against individual taxpayers generally.
AS practical matter, the Secretary
added, such sweeping changes in the tax
system should not be undertaken on a
crash" basis as part of legislation that
already Is close to deadline.
There has been evidence in Congress
in recent days that there is growing SEN
timent to vote some tax relief. perhaps
effective next January /, during the pres
ent session. 1t seems obvious. however.
that such action should be related to
current efforts to cut the 1858 budget
appropriationS-the success of which will
not be known for some months yet. Both
President Eisenhower and Secretary
Humphrey have placed themselves on
record as believing that tax rates are too
high, and that they should be reduced
for all classes Of taxpayers when possible
within the limits Of sound budget policy.
Piecemeal and preferential reductions.
hastily enacted and risking loss of rev.
enue, do not provide the answer.

By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

lance of imagination in the
daily life.
1t is a sorry thing, to go
through the world governed
only by the stern facts of ex-
istence.
They are stern enough,
heaven knows.
The facts of life. they have
been called.
They should rule us, some
say. for we are wonderfully
and fearfully made. they af-
firm.
Right there. the imaginative
may think, is justification.
For it is directly in the part
of life which is wonderful and
a bit fearful that Imagination
with a big Il" plays its divine
part.
Wit h out imagination. we
would not have Beethoven's
Ninth.
Without imagination. we
would never have read Dick
ems "Pickwick Papers"
Without this aid to good
living. we would never have
known the caress of THE
Three Little Pigs or thrilled
to Jingle Bells"
Imagination takes over the
facts and figures. this coward
ly playing safe. and substitutes
for them something more akin
to the forward looking atti-
tude of the unafraid man, and
unafraid woman. today's chill
dren growing up.
God bless them, We hope
they have a better world to
live in than we have had,
this present set up of sly sex
jokes and cruelty and igno-
rance. in which the chain OF
command lords it over the
world of imagination and the
world to come.
These children are creating
a better world out of the
monStrosity we have given
them, this world of bombs and
hate and suspicion. of dis
elimination and false stand
ards of race, color and creed
They have imagination
these young ones, and with
it will knock down tie
Goliaths of the false figlues
and the fake commands, and
substitute for them the rule
of Joyous, imaginative living.
We won't be there to see it,
but our spirit will rejoice with
them, and so will the souls of
all honest men and women
who know divinely that there
is something very wrong with
things as they are now.

Mr.. Spano was not there to

is common practice for Gov
eminent representatives to

explained TO the Fairfax tax

the planes in use today, the
military jet. the commercial
jet Of the TOT type and those
on the designers tables. /, as
most people there, found his
talk very informative and feel

more about jets. Mr.. Spano
also was kind enough to re-
main after the meeting and
answer questions, At no time
did he state that he or the CAA

This meeting was informa-

In a discussion of a proposed

council heard members of the Wat
er Board and Jefferson School Dis
trict Executive Head Harold Will
son express their opinions of the
effects of such a sudden influx as
would result from the 175-240 unit
addition.
Spokesman for the water board
said their facilities would be taxed
to capacity, on "a hour basis with
such an addition, and that a new
we'll would be required as well as
new softening equipment.
Wilson said that even with the
eight new rooms now being built,
the school will be able to handle
the present population for only
about three years without over
crowding. He pointed out that the
influx now would bring about an
overcrowded condition, but that
the system would try to cope sat-
isfactorily with any situation aris-
ing. He emphasized that he felt
anything good for the community
would be good for the schools, and
that despite the fact that ideal con-
ditions might be disturbed, the sys-
tenn would attempt to make salts
factory arrangements to handle all
pupils.

County Agent Says
Now Is Time For
Fight On Flies

Black Cluster flies are very
prevelant this spring buzzing and
Swarming around windows and at
tics and unused rooms according
to John E. Moore, County Agricul-
tural Agent
These sluggish flies are slightly
larger than the house fly with a
non-metallic, dark gray color.
They do no damage but are often
reported as a nuisance in the
spring as well as in the fall. They
become especially active on the
sunny-side of a house in the warm,
mild days of early spring.
The life history of this fly is
very unusual, since the larvae are
parasitic on earthworms. The ad-
ult flies deposit their eggs in the
soil, the eggs hatch and the very
active maggots penetrate the body
of earthworTns. After spending 25-
35 days under ground the flies
emerge again. There are usually
four generations per year in Ohio
with the last generation of adults
emerging in September The flies
invade houses and other buildings
where they spend the winter. The
flies become active in April when
they lay their eggs in the soil.
Cluster flies are difficult to con-
troll since the overwintering flies
are concealed in the walls, Win
dow castings, and other inaccessib-
le places. A few controlling me-
thodS are as follows:

that over period Of many years
corn silage could save from So to
S. on the cost per 100 pounds of
gain on beef cattle and that corn
in the form of corn silage is ac-
tually worth about 500 more than
ground ear corn fed to cattle from
the same acre.
A visit was then made to the
John Channel Farm where dairy
cattle were feeding from a con-
veyor bunk which saved much
time in feeding chores, Similar ar
rangements were observed on a
beef set up on the Forrest and
Clemens Farm. We then visited
Bernard Weavers where silage
was stored in the form of grass
silage in a large bunker 40x130
with a plastic cover and where
corn silage and shelled corn were
in Harvester silo. The last stop
was made at c. S. Neer and Sons
Farm where they saw the beef
steers on corn silage. Protein ana
lysis were made made on most of
the silage. All silage tests were
based on a 500 moisture content
showing that corn silage had a
2@6 protein content, oats $50, ear
corn 4.29o, shelled corn $50, and
grass silage $3.50.
