Maple Sugar Camp NoW
Vanished From, Local Scene

Before the war the price had
dipped as low as Sl.50 per gallon
but the wartime squeeze sent the
cost upward to S. per gallon.
Many maple groves were disre-
garded by owners because their
their operation was Improbable
when sugar was plentiful and the
maple sugar price was low. High
prices and the pressing demand
made operation of sugar camps
profitable on a wartime basis but
the complete economic readjust-
ment of the past ten years has
apparently killed off the local
maple sugar business.

ming. In the second period Bluffton
didn't get single try from the
charity lane, in the fourth period they
got one.
Biggest blow was the loss of Don
Alspach on fouls with only 20 seconds
gone in the fourth quarter. Bluffton
played without the skinny redhead
for part of the second period and half
of the third but no sooner had he
entered the game in the fourth
quarter than he brushed against the
ungainly Bruggeman and went right
back to the bench.
n Angered by his departure BIuffton
came storming back and threw in
three quick baskets, by Tim DiIler,
Alspach's substitute, Dan Gleason
and Ramon Lewis. This narrowed the
gap to 58-52 and Bluffton at one time
had it whitfield to 6O-64 but they were
unable to beat the free ones.
That Futile 2nd Quarter
Still and all Bluffton could have
won the game if it had not been for
a second quarter which can be
described as just plain-lousy. Only
Marv Diller, who hit three of his
jump shot specialities and Dan Glea-
son, who potted long one-hander
were able to score for the Pirates.
Time and again in the futile second
period the Pirates found themselves
bringing the ball down the court only
to lose it by bad passes, three-second
violations and travelling. When frey
did shoot they couldn't hit, and when
they missed they couldn't rebound.

HOW BAD ARE OUR ROADS

HOW BAD ARE OUR ROADS?
- The American Automobile
Assn. has come up with a gen.
orally favorable progress report
on the status Of the huge federal
roadbuilding program authoriz-
ed by Congress in 1856. But its
report also wanrs of possible
trouble ahead which may delay
completion of the program on
schedule.
What bothers the AAA is that
several state legislatures have
failed to provide for adequate
highway revenues. and pass other
needed bills. This worries high
way officials in Washington, the
AAA says, because estate coop
Grafton is the key to the vast
program. -.
To those who are travelling
over the highways this summer
some of the difficulties are ap-
parent. Cars around the big
cities proceed at snail's. pace,
bumper-to-b bumper, if you should
happen to be driving through
around 5 pm. or in the early
morning.
The need for big city by-passes
has long been with us. Their
absence is constant source of
irritation to motorists travelling
by car on vacations that are
limited in time.
The AAA reports some other
headaches. Many are strictly
financial.
There is great pressure on
Congress and the Administration
to increase the mileage of the
Al, 000-mile interstate highway
and defense system, since the
federal government pays 80 per
cent of the cost. It's not sur
prising that the states want the
most highway for the least out
lay of their own funds.
But the states are asking for
too much, the AAA argues. They
want $4,000 miles more of fed
eral highway than now planned
This could upset present finan-
cial plans. 1t might delay the
program.
The price tax authorized by
Congress was $23, $780, 100000. Our
creeping initiation" might send
this figure higher, the AAA
warns, because road construction
| costs are going up. This probab-
ly will be a $50 billions program
before the job is done.

Political Patronage?
By MILTON FRIEDMAN

WASHINGTON-An issue of political patronage
has been raised along with other questions arising
from the designation by Secretary of State Dulles of
the Republican Party's consultant Jewish affairs
to allocate $3,525OOO to private educational, scen
tific, and cultural undertakings in Israel.
Senate foreign relations subcommittee is prob

crat wants Bernard Katzen the Dulles appointee, to
to Washington to answer questions AS result
of the furor the operation from which Israel bene
fitted-the International Media Guaranty program
has been placed in suspense for the State of Israel
It is undergoing review in both the United States In
formation Agency and the State Department.
Mr.. Katzen, New York attorney, was designated
by Secretary Dulles to go to Israel and recommend
beneficares of $3 525, 900 worth of Israeli pounds.
The pounds had accrued to the account of the u S.
Treasury through ING operations in Israel.
MR. KATZEN RECOMMENDED that varying
amounts be given to undertakings in Israel like the
Israeli Boy Scouts, Torah Institute, YMCA, some
projects of the Zionist Organization of America and
Bnai Birth cultural center building fund, and SINH

"A Gift For THANKSGIVING

In America we will soon mark Thanksgiving day
and there will be thanks offered for the fritfulness
of this great country.
But in countries in other parts of the world
this Thanksgiving day there will be people offering
thanks to the Jewish community in Tucson for
the gifts of funds to help them out of ghettos, out
of the way of danger and persecution.
In 1857 Tucson raised a record sum of $4,000
for the Combined Jewish Appeal. Unfortunately
many of the campaign pledges still outstanding.
In fact the amount outstanding is an appalling $751;,

You can make it a more wonderful Thanksgiv-

King Saud could easily build the Aswan Dam in

am afraid our commercial faculties have been
vastly overrated. 1t is easy to see how the Jewish
reputation for making money arose. The Jew gives
so much to charity that it thought he must be rich

that Jews give most to charity and Arabs least.
