Representative government is
more of buniOn derby than the
folks-back-home realize If there
is one catastrophe threatening the
Nation more than others, it is that
of fallen arches. And if you don't
like the laws your Congressman
voted for. or the speeches he made
or didn't make), it's an even bet
his feet hurt him.
An informal canvass of the gem
tlemen of our lower house reveals
that they will answer from seven
to twelve calls to the House cham
ber per day From their desks in
the old House Office Building, or
the new one, the more able-bOdied
can make this trip to the chamber
via shank's mare in five to six min
utes. Thus, on an average. this en-
tails an hour-and-threequarters of
walking back and forth daily. For
many who are less vigorous than
they used to be, others suffering
from arthritis and some who are
crippled. the Journeys are more
tOilSOme.
The senator's are more fortunate
since one in reasonably good condi-
ton can walk from his Office to the
Senate chamber in four minutes,
fat. Also, he has an electric trolley
to ride. If he misses it, and has to
wait for the next trip, he won't
save time, but he can travel sitting
down.

1t is hardly surprising, therefor,

Thursday / took our little Bos-
ton Bull to the veterinarians TO
have his annual rabies shot. We
found out through travel literature
that if we intend to go into Cam

prove that "Sambo's2 shots were

Last night we enjoyed a neigh
bOrhOod, outdoor, steak dinner.
There were twelve of us. Even with
all the neighborhood dogs, hot

1t becomes increasingly apparent
in the skirmishing phase of the pro-
iected battle of Civil Rights that
President Eisenhower has been ra-
ther surprised at what his boys
wrote into the bill, and that he will
be happy to sign most anything
that Administration hackers can
get through the Senate that can
still be called Civil Rights"
But Georgia's Senator Richard
B. Russell, leader of the Southern
opposition. described the measure
as ga force bill of rawest kind
and there was some doubt that Q
filibuster could be avoided even if
the Administration were to throw
out completely the vicious Section
III of the bill. This is the section
that makes the Attorney General
a virtual dictator and authorizes
the President to employ Federal
troops in enforcing Federal Court
Orders-and is to SOutherners an
nfuriating reminder of the abuses
of "Carpetbagger" days.

communities have not gone up any
more than have wages or cOmmOd-
tiles. Most town and city govern
ments are doing the best they can
to keep taxes down; but they can
not buck the tide of population
and demand for cOnveniences. As
young people move into a COM
munity and have children, usually
only the father is producer. Chill
dren are an asset to the community
if they will remain in the community
as workers and producers after
graduation. Otherwise, the com
munity has been put to great ex-
pense to educate them and has
received little in return. Cities to
which these young people go for
work after graduatiOn-or the young
people themselves-will some day

QUESTION #6. Do you believe
in Turnpike Bonds! ANSWER: The
simplest method of avoiding Fed
eral and State taxes is to buy turn
pike bonds. Issues carrying 312Po
coupons can now be purchased in
the 7O's and SOS and should be
perfectly safe and free from all
Federal and State taxes. The only
way l know to beat City taxes is
to have lot of children and get
them a free education! However,
the duty of paying for schools,

should be preached by the news
papers, schools, and even churches.
Ministers might more often preach
from the first eight verses of the

A Bridesmaid
Is The Nert Bride
BY VIVIAN BROWN
AP Newsfeufures Writer

MANY A BRIDESMAID has par
layed the big event into a wedding
ring for herself
That's the attitude that every
budding bridesmaid should take.
What could make for better man
pickins that a wedding? Or put
the ushers and male guests in more
of an orange-blOssom frame of
mind?
It's perfect time not only to
snare a new man but to Tekindle
romantic fires in your steady flame.
The idea is to look as pretty as
the bride. You won't detract from
her. She'll have her own special
radiance and audience. But you'll
want to choose your makeup and
cOiffure with the same special con-
sideration as the bride.
If there are many bridal atten-
dants, they will all be dressed
alike, wearing the same design in
hats, dresses and shoes. Makeup
and hairdo will be your only edge.
unless of course your figure is a
prize winner.
Ruel, chief hair stylist for Golf
fures Americana, trend settlers,
suggests a hairdo with a feather
ed look" for this seasons brides
maids. The hair is brushed up and
out from the head in wispy waves
and curls. It is fuller, softer and
curlier than the carefully waved
hairdos popular in spring. 1t is a

SIlIlh

Shhh!
The lure of vacation for most
people they will tell you is the
chance to ''get away from it all .
What do they mean by that? They
want a change of scene and a
chance to loaf. But almost as much,
whether they know it or not, they
want to escape from noise.
AS life has grown more cOmpli-
Gated and more automated; as the
clOp-clOp of hooves has died away
in the roar of mechanical horse
power, the cacaphony of horns and
the shrek of sirens; as we are
more increasingly surrounded with
machines-both at home and on
the job; as we cringe from the
pneumatic drills of a street gang
and the high-octane thunder of
planes overhead-we are gradual
" going nuts.
Along with these assorted, aug
mented and incessant noises we
have gained new peaks of creature
comfort. We don't have to walk
any more, or do any manual labor
to speak of, or, with the radio and
TV handy, suffer a single moments
.5oredom. All this may be a great
comfort if we are lucky enough to
land in an air or sound conditioned
"sanitarium" when they throw the
let over us.
Even when we are not aware of
the sea of sound in which we are
1oundering, every noise raises our
nervous tension and increases the
pressure on the brain. Individual
resistance to these strains varies
widely, and if you do nat have
much of brain, it may not bother
you at all. But the nervous break
lown" can be anything from the
occasional urge to throw dishes TO
downright insanity, and doctors
IRE now coming around to the be-
ief that practically every illness
except those caused by germs and
yiruses is caused by the mind and
Or the nervous system.
So, no wonder it's time to get
,way from it all But you might
consider while you are resting that
something can be done about these
wearing noises. The Acoustical Ma
erials Association has some good
suggestions. First, don't make
20 much noise yourself. Don't tOot
our car horn unless it's necessary.
)On't shout. Keep your radio and
TV tuned at a low level. Explain to
amilv and friends that noise in
ures health and efficiency, causes
accidents and costly mistakes.

Reason For Tight Money
QUESTION #3. Why is it now
difficult to borrow money from To-
cal banks! ANSWER: Because too
many citizens are sending money
to New York to be put into stocks.
instead of investing it at home.
This might have been a wise thing
to do in the 1930's when stocks
were selling so low; but it is not
the thing to do today For those
buying stocks now there is more
risk of a loss than chance for a
proft. If we would keep the money
at home, the banks would have
plenty to loan.
What About Shopping Centers!
QUESTION: IA. Is your COM
munity being hurt by a new shop
ming center! ANSWER: There is
no use of merchants gripping, or
complaining, about new shopping
centers. Price-cutting on the part
of local retailers will not solve the
problem. Free parking is the great
est attraction of shopping centers.
The best way to compete with them,
therefore, is for local towns and
cities to supply more free parking
closer to their retail stores. l would
not attempt to operate a retail
store unless it was close to a free
marking lot. Also, the more COM
netition a community has from a
shopping center. the more that COM
munity must produce from its fac
tories, farms, services. or fisheries.
What About Taxes!

taxes so high! ANSWER: First let

Reasons For Employment

SWER: Because these people have
not been trained to produce or

laps too many people have been
rained for white-cOllar jobs. Per-
1aps there are too many business
offices and not enough factories,
services, farms, or fisheries. Per-
haps those who are now employed
do not take an interest in their
work: hence. they will not be max

AN ESSENTIAL REFORM

Americans are paying high taxes to Un
Gle Sam-the top rate is a near-cOnfiscatory
913t. This, to put it mildly, is detrimental
to continued economic growth since it pen
allies hard work, risk-taking and achieve
ment.
It's essential that income tax reform be
enacted at this session of Congress; the long
er it's delayed, the more difficult it will be
to attain.
Representative A. N. Sadlack (R.-Conn.)
has introduced bill in the House that deals
with the real tax problem-the high and dis
criminatOry rates. His bill provides for uni
form annual reductions for each bracket of
income tax, over 5-year period.
This proposal for gradual and orderly
income tax reduction, reducing Individual
and corporate income taxes to a top rate of
1870, would encourage economic expansion.
1t holds hope for fair and equitable taxa
tion.
