Babson Park, Mass, Dec. H. Dur
ing the past two weeks there has
been much in the newspapers COM
mending the Federal Reserve for
reducing its rediscount rate from
3k% to go. Now you wonder how
much this helps your local bank.
What the Reserve Rate Does
First, let me explain just what
this reduction" means. Your local
bank may need temporary extra
funds certain times of the year to
loan to some local industries.
These are those which must bor-
row seasonally. to buy raw ma
terials or merchandise but which
are out of debt most of the year.
To secure such extra funds your
local bank may borrow of the near
est big city bank where it carries
its main account.
Upon the same principle, there
are times when this big city bank
may need extra funds. 1t then Ell
ther sells government bonds or
uses such government bonds as
collateral to borrow from it's Dis
trict Federal Reserve Bank. There
are II of these, one-one for each
of the II federal districts into
which the u. S. is divided.
Don't Expect A Reduction On
Your Loan
If one of the District Federal
Reserve Banks is temporarily short
of funds, it borrows of the Central
Feds, located at New York and
Chicago. 1t is the Federal Reserve
System which has lowered the rate
from 31S9o to $50 on loans made

Paunchy, bearded, f1orid-face5
Santa Claus, the benevolent bag
man who makes business out of
dropping down peoples chimneys
on one night of every year, has re-
manned one of history's most mys-
terious, elusive characters.
Thousands upon thousands of
words have been written about him,
but he has never submitted to an
interview.
Artists, sculptors, cartoonists
and window dressers by the hun
drers have attempted to capture
his likeness for> posterity, but no
recognizable photograph is known
TO exist of him.
Children by the million have wit
messed his incredible sleight of
hands feats on Christmas morning,
but he has never been apprehended
in the act of breaking and enter
ing to distribute the wares of his
workshop.
The exact location of this work
shop, a massive underground toy
factory operating night and day on
year-round basis somewhere in the
frozen wastes of the artic has never
been discovered, despite repeated
polar expeditions by Peary, Ellis
worth, Amundsen and Byrd.

done by my neighbor across the
street. Hayes and ] both attended
and then after the investiture we
rushed out to the base to attend a
SAC Aero Club meeting. Hayes is
Flying Safety officer for the Club
and felt he should't miss the meet
ing. 1t was a little festive this
month since the wives were includ-
ed and refreshments were part of
the evening fare.
Wednesday morning I attended
the Newcomers Coffee at the base
ano took Wilma Dickey with me.
Mrs. Rodger Dickey was introduced
to me by Adella Warren Robertson
by way of Germany, remember?
The newcomers coffees are always
lovely and this one for the month
of December was especially lovely.
Terri Phillips of Wilmington, Della

complete charge of decorating the
Officers Club for Christmas. Her
talent certainly was in evidence
Wednesday at the coffee. Her COL
or scheme was pink and red-pink
angel hair with red poinsettias
(sprayed milk pods shaped into q
flower design lined each arch of
the ballroom, pink Christmas trees
with red and silver decorations, a
ping angel up on the ceiling float
ing on white cloud of angel hair,
a silver bird cage with pink Christ
mas balls and evergreens beautiful
ly arranged in the cage. 1t was
quite a nice morning to Introduce
Wilma to our club and | am sure
she thoroughly enjoyed it, too.
Thursday, my good friend from
Hepsyba, Georgia, Gene Shirley,

Hotel Jayhawk. With us was Mar
garet Russell of st. Louis, Missouri.
Margaret leaves this month for IS
months in Massachusetts and I'm
SO envious | cali hardly stand it.
Colonel Russell is going to do
graduate work at Harvary Univer-

Hayes and his Oldest daughter,
Lynne, right now are downtown
buying my Christmas present.
They'll be home soon to pick up
Dawn and me and then well all do
some Saturday afternoon Christ

100000 people.
Tomorrow the children and | will

Other Sources OF Aid
Many investors who read this
column noted how the stock market
jumped up when the Federal Re-
serve rate was reduced. When,
however, people began to think
through and see that this reduction
would not help their community,
the stockmarket fell off again. In
other words, this reduction will not
cause consumers to buy more goods
or manufacturers to employ more
help. Therefore, wise investors are
not buying more stocks now on the
small reduction in interest rates
by the Fed.
The U. S. Government could
however, do three things which
might help the stock market: %
Lower the required margin which
brokers are now forced to demand
of spectators: (2) buy more gov
ernments from the banks, giving
them more free money to loan; and
(3) reduce the reserves which
banks are required to carry. Ir
an emergency, one or more of these
could be done. However, no emer-
gencv now exists which would iuS-
tify these steps. OF course, reducing
interest rates has already caused
bonds to go up.

What right does he have to
monopofize the minds and hearts
of people for one whole day every

treasured hates and prejudices? :?
Who gives him safe conduct down

These are questions that never
have been answered but will crop
up again as he sets out on his noe
turnal mission once more this
Christmas Eve.
Travelling under aliases like
Kris Kringle, Jolly Old Elf, Good
St. Nick and just plain Santa, this
shy, retiring virtually unknown
undeTcover man has tested the pa
tience and credulity of millions
since time immemorial.
Does he really exist? Will he

come again this year?
The known facts about this most
wanted and most sought after
character are slim and sketchy.
He has been described as being
short perhaps midget, fat (some
liken his abdomen to a gelatinous
substance), rosy checked; is giver
to fits of prolonged and immoder-
ate laughter, drives his eight rein
deer sled in reckless fashion, anG
has been occasionally observed
smoking a long Dutch pipe.
The latest reports are that he
wears gaudy red trousers, jacket &
mittens, trimmed in white fur, g
black leather belt with gold buckle
and black patent leather boots. His
most distinguishing characteristics
are long flowing white beard an6
ruddy, bulbous nose He is sale
to be about middle aged, and has
been for several centuries.
Hos ultimufe Weapon
He is known to be armed (witl
bottomless bag of presents) an(

An all points bulletin has beer
broadcast for his speedy appre
hension, and this year steps are
being taken to trace his move

ing system in Canada.

IN SIMPLE HONESTY

The federal excise taxes used to be con-
fined to small list of luxury items-iquor,
furs, tobacco products, etc. Then, as World
War ii emergency measure, these taxes were
extended to certain purely necessary and
essential services, such as transportation
and the telephone.
A Gallup Poll has found that the tax on
telephone communications is the most un-
popular of all excise taxes, for the simple
reason that it adds to the cost of genuine
necessity. Moreover, state regulatory au-
thorities condemn this tax as being ''inimic-
able to the maintenance of reasonably priced
and non-discriminatory communications SER
vice." because it adds unreasonably to the
rates and charges which they have carefully
established. On top of that, it is undoubtedly
IA discriminatory tax, since it singles out the
\elephone from the other essential household
\rvices.
Emergency taxes, in simple honesty,
oud be discontinued when the emergency
lich brought them into being passes.
orld War ii ended some II years ago, but
telephone tax and the other excise taxes
osed then are still on the books. And the
it should be understood, is consumer
It's repeal would result in direct saw
pr the telephone user. No part of the
wing could be retained by the tele-
companies.

EDUCATIONAL AIM

Many commentators are saying every
thing but what is most important about Rus
sian education. And educators, scientists and
others are making public statements which,
if taken all together, make our very lang
uage sound like that of Babel.
Yes, the Russians are pushing education.
But what kind of education is it? The Rus
sian leaders are basically concerned with
their own power. They educate Russian boys
and girls, primarily, to give them the skills
and knowledge which are necessary for the
preservation and the extension of power.
Russian scientists can be as free as the moon
in all areas which will produce results-re-
suits which can strengthen the power of the
ruling class or bureaucracy in the Soviet
empire. This is education for the new Soviet
imperialism.
When we make changes in our education
al system we should know what for. They
should not be made simply because people
might fear that the Russians have superior
system as such. American education has de-
veloped without one overall~plan or aim. But
now the basic aim which we can apply when
changes are made is this: better education
as a means of securing world that is
strong ard free.
