WITHOUT LOSS TO THE GOVERNMENT

Top Treasury officials have said that they
are opposed to tax reductions at this time
which would involve a net loss Of revenues
to the government. That is understandable
in the light of world events, and the huge ap-
preparations that Congress will make this
year.
However, there are two tGxes-damaging
and unfair taXeS-Which could be repealed
without substantial net loss to re govern
ment, and with even the possibility of a net
revenue gain. These are the excise taxes
on transportation, which add 10 per cent
to passenger fares and three per cent to
freight charges.
The reason why repeal would cost the
government little if any revenue is two-fold,
as William t. Farley of the Association of
American Railroads explains. First, major
part of these taxes is deductible as business
expense and hence reduces the amount which
the government would otherwise collect
through income taxes. Second, the taxes are
heavy drag on commerce, reducing the flow
of business and thereby decreasing further
the amount of net income subject to income
tax.
These taxes are paid by the users of trans
portation, not by the carriers, and so are
direct or indirect burden on everyone. They
came into being as World War II emergency
measures, and at that time it was said that
they would be repealed when the war ended.
Their purpose, in large part, was to dis
courage the use of transportation facilities
needed for the war effort. There is neither
Justice nor economic sense in keeping them
in effect.

in better products with longer life,
and much higher productivity per
man-hour," Werner stressed.
Among these improvements he
enumerated: short-time high-tem-
perature, continuous pasteuriza-
tion of milk; vitamin enrichment
of milk; hOmogenization of milk;
bulk handling; paper containers;
continuous : in place cleaning of
equipment, and equipment of bet
ter sanitary and mechanical de-
sign.
"Dairying produces 18 per cent
of the gross national farm income,
and dairy products supply approx
mately 80 per cent of the nations
animal protein in food" he said.
Dairy products of all kinds ac-
count for 81 billion dollars per
year of retail food sales"
Werner called on the dairymen
to form an aggressive team made
up of the milk producer, the dairy
product distributor, labor and the
farm press to increase the con-
sumption of fluid milk.

things ION purpose"-rea things,
life from the eyes and heart of the
baby himself
Baby Needs Love
A baby needs to be loved. he
needs to feel he is pretty much o.
K with those two important people
Nom and Dad. Also he needs to
learn to do some things and not to
do others.
When you really think about love
having a price it's not hard to fig
ure out how to manage. Make
sure that you show your love when
things are going well; don't just
ignore the baby with a sigh of re-
lief that he's not into something
and you can get your work done.
Talk to him, sing to him (even
from the other ROOM throw him a
toy as you pass, let him know you
think he's wonderful
Try your best to make it i'm
possible for him to do many bad
things. He is not old enough to
understand the laws of physics.
It's fun to pull on the dangling
edge of the tablecloth; he doesn't
yet know that disaster will follow,
so keep him and the tempting cloth
apart Prevent as many bad"
acts as you possibly can.
For those you can't prevent, stop
the child and say and do nothing.
This is a kind of love, rather than
punishment. It's quite enough.
Your child wants and needs you to
love him and he will learn the dif-
ference between behavior that
brings your warm enthusiastic ap-
proval and behavior that brings
cool Indifference from you.
AS the child gets wee bit older
he comes to understand that Nom
my doesn't like certain things and
that life is pleasanter when Nom
my is nice And he also under
stands that it's the bad things"
Mommy doesn't like; that it's new
er Joey she doesn't like. Mcmmy
loves all of joey all the time-it's
just some things Joey does she
doesn't like.

AVOIDING AND CURING COLDS

We would not discourage those who think
they have discovered cure for the common
cold, but, so far as science is concerned, there
is not yet any vaccine or serum that will pre-
vent an individual from, at some time or
other, Catching cold"
About the best defense for the individual,
anxious to prevent colds, is to avoid those
who have a cold, dress warmly and avoid
becoming chilled or wet, eat properly, get
enough fresh air, exercise and rest.
Of course, the above rules constitute
sound advice, whether one wants to dodge a
cold or not They represent common-sense
applied to the job of living well. The advice
will tend to prevent one from getting sick
nesses of any kind. About all that it will
not help prevent is an accident, or the un-
expected visit of an unwelcome relative.
The average person is apt to overlook
the possible serious consequences of the or
dinary cold. If taken in hand, a slight cold
may not be dangerous but, if neglected, it
can develop into a more serious malady.
The experts suggest, if you get cold:
Cd Don't hesitate to take plenty of rest
and, if at all possible, stay in bed.
(2) Eat rather lightly and drink plenty
of fluids.
(3) Avoid mingling in crowds and, as
nearly as possible, stay in an even temper
ature. By keeping away from others, you
also protect them from your cold.
(4 If the cold continues and you de
velop fever, call your doctor. There may be
some other cause for the fever.

AUaba, Key To Peace?

SECOND A-SUBMARINE

The Navy has sent its second atomic sub
marine to sea. The first run of the Seawof
was only a test run but the fact that the
new atomic sub is about ready for duty is
highly significant.
The Seawolf is powered by different
atomic engine than that used in the Nautilus
the first atomic sub. Some experts be-
lieve the power plant to be less efficient than
that which powers the older atomic submer-
sible.
The Seawolf repeatedly uses liquid sod
ium as coolant for, its atomic reactor and
this system was expected to have advantages
by designers. Trial runs of the new sub
may provide valuable data to the Navy on
the controversial question whether such
plant is more or less efficient.
The Navy is already busy on plans and
work on other atomic submarines, and plans
to someday have fleet of atomic subs cap
able of great underwater speed and tremen-
dous range.
Meanwhile, it is good to have the atomic
subs, probably the only two in existence.
The test runs of the Seawolf, the second
atomic SUBJ will undoubtedly provide val
liable practical research pioneering, vital
to the defense of this country.

yet that we are returning to colder winters.
ARE YOU A WORKER?
1t is surprising how time seems to take
care of most of life's problems, even though
some of them seem insOlube at the moment.
Nevertheless, time is the greatest heal
er of all, and even the most melancholy turn
of events can be softened, and even erased,
by the passage of time.
We mention this because life today is a
great strain because of the fight for the hap
py dollar and the pace today is one which has
created tremendous mental and psychology
cal problems, as well as nervous disorders,
Illustrations and disillusonment, in many
cases.
1t is a great consolation to realize that
time will solve about ninety per cent of your
Worries if you can keep this in mind it will
calm your emotions and improve your philo-
sophy of life and your day-to-day perform
ance.
The psychiatrists say that the mind is
a wonderful instrument, which gradually
blocks out unpleasant memories and expert
ences and heals over wounds, in beautiful
fashion, given adequate time.
Therefore, we suggest that worriers and
the fretters relax a bit, roll with the punch
and outlive many of life's daily vexations
and irritations. A serene philosophy, based
on knowledge, faith and other encouraging
thoughts, will do wonders for you, your per-
sonality and your health. Try it.

COLDER WINTERS?

The recent wave OF belOW-nOrmal tenn
peratures in the United States brings to
mind the question whether winters are get
ting colder. 1t will be remembered that most
of the weather experts were saying-until a
few years ago-that winter weather was
not as severe as it was few decades ago.
In the last two years, several weather
experts have said that we are now moving to
colder weather and that the winters in the
future will be colder The January cold wave
indicates that the experts following this line
now have some evidence to back up their
case.
1t should be remembered, though, that
severe cold weather did not arrive until
rather late this year and that 1856 was a
relatively mild year, even we'll into Decem-
ber Those who claim that the winters are
warmer today than they formerly were cite
as proof the fact that the growing line of
many plants and trees is continually NOV
ing further northward. This proves, they
say, that our weather is getting warmer.
They also cite the falling back of the, ice
masses at the Poles, pointing out that this
ice is melting back little more each year.
The experts on this side are always backed
up by elderly people who claim that winters
a few decades ago were much colder than
they are now.
But what some elderly citizens do not
realize is that heating conditions, when they
were young, were not nearly as efficient as
they are today and they felt the cold much
more In other words, it seemed colder few
decades ago than it seems today, although
the weather might not have been actually
colder
In our opinion, the trend is still toward
warmer winters, although one cannot judge
the trend by one, two or three years, but
must look at the graph over a period of
decades. Looking at the weather from this
scientific angle, there seems to be no proof
yet that we are returning to colder winters.
