| ter, someone stole it.
We were terribly efficient. We
weren't Dragging about it. We just
didn't have any money to spend.
I don't know just where honesty
fitted into the picture. We didn't
steal and there is very little decep-
ton in life when you don't have any
thing to conceal.
We did, however, come in contact
with lot of unselfish people during
these bad times. Many of them were
people who didn't have much more
than we did, but they were kind and
good and unselfish.
No, you know, don't think the
right people are being asked to suffer
for the national sins of "selfishness,
inefficiency and dishonesty. e
If this is our national malady
humbly suggest these powers that
"allow depressions'',, expect them to
accomplish something, etc., start
at the other end of the economic lad
der and see if they get better results.
The working man has carried sack
cloth and ashes for the nation many
times, and though he pays dearly we
seem to be afflicted with sins from
which we must be periodically
cleansed, for the cure never seems
to last.
Another approach to national re-
pentance might be the one that starts
at the top and trickles down like they
use when they start bringing pros
perity back! ~
1t is cruel and senseless leadership
that uses human beings as pawns in
national economic policy. 1t should
not be necessary in nation of abund-
ance, chronological know-how and
brains such as we possess.
The same people who are maneuv-
ering the American people into fl
1ancial circumstances from which
hey may not be able to recover in
heir lifetime or at best for many
years are not themselves, at this
POINT, on the receiving end of the
uffering-they have up to now been
lble to protect their 4%o-6%-8%.
And, unfortunately human beings
will have mighty struggle when
congress starts considering methods

late and maybe even long term ben
fits to the people will first have to

WHAT DO YOU THINK.
By GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

Commercial publications and many
nationally known writers are express
ing amazement because this 1957-5s
depression is not accomplishing any
thing.
One gathers that one aim was tt
bring prices down by taking consider
able purchasing power out of the
working mans pocket. From many
sources, however, there seems to be
much more far-reaching implications
in the maneuvering that has put the
nation on the verge of economic dis
aster.
LIFE magazines editorial last week
said the recession wasn't accomplish
ing what it was intended to accom-
plish".
Speaking about the fact prices have
not come down, in spite of taking
money away from millions of people,
LIFE eloquently says:
t'What the hell kind of depres-
sion is that?
Roger Babson who writes as an
economist, deals out some chills in a
recent column.
He says we are all toying with
questions to which neither Congress
or the President knows the answers.
He further says in the 30's Congress
enacted many "cure-alls'' to relieve
the pain of depression, which may
work for a while in warding off fail
ures, relieving hunger and other acts
of mercy, "but in most cases they
may serve only as mustard plasters or
aspirin when our people need change
of character, almost religious con-
version
Now then comes the clincher! Bah
son says:
Previous depressions were allowed
to last until selfishness was replaced
by unselfishness; until inefficiency
was replaced by efficiency; and dis
honesty by honesty. Now Congress
plans to bring back prosperity with
out restoring these fundamentals of
unselfishness, efficiency, and honesty.
Can this safely be done?"
In times of depression it is the
man who works for living, struggles
along week to week, spending his
for the things that will bring
him fuller life, extending his credit |
as far as he feels he can safely go,
and sometimes little further, that
gets hit first.
My experience is that by and large
here is as much basic honesty and I'M
;elfishness among people who work
farmers or laborers-as among any
'ther segment of the nation. They

The Governor called for vote on

hardest to QSO Communicate
With. Incidentally when Hayes be-
came interested in becoming a ham
operator we had three men literal
ly live here at the house until they
got him in operation. | never knew
how many would be here for lunch
on week-ends nor when my dinner
could be served. They are a closely
knit group of men and most an
xlous to help new amateur radio
station get on the air.
Last night we talked to Hayes
sister about her prospective trip
to Kansas in November when we
expect our newest little one to arr
rive. During our phone conversa-
ton Hayes asked Sara to call his
cousin, Gilbert Murphy (W3VQA)
on the land line" Snd ask him to
listen on a designated frequency
and Hayes would try to make his
first Delaware contact What could
be nicer than to talk to Gil for
Hayes first contact from his home
state. 1t sounds reasonably simple
Just to both tune into a certain
place on the dial of their receivers
and there they would find each
other, but there are so many deter
rents. If the skip" in the iOno-
sphere isn't just right your code
will fall short or overlap. 1t all
hangs on weather conditions. There
are over 100000 operators in the
world and you just can't expect
these boys to fade out when two
cousins want to communicate.
Well, to make long story short
er-Hayes tipped on his receiver
and in code someone was calling
co (aryone listening) Topeka.
Hayes answered quickly and pret-
ty soon on his tablet he wrote down
GIL. i was as thrilled about his
success as / know he was. The i'm
reference was terrific. bat both OF
US strained to hear the dots and
dashes Gilbert was sending to us
across the 1900 miles.
Today at noon they have another
schedule planned and they hope for
less QRM.
The most outstanding bit OF
news | could impart to you about
my ham operator is that for sevens
weeks this summer ne labored over
a Health Kit and built his own
transmitter. 1t just is unbelievable
to me that out of all those wires,
tubes, resistors, capacitors and
coils Hayes could solder that mass
together and contact anyone in the
world.

BABSON DISCUSSES new HELPS FOR SMALL BUSINESS

further break for small business
permits accumulated earnings of
100000 rather than $4,000, with
out being liable for payment of the
special surtax penalty.
Spreading Estate Tax Payments
Until now, the death of one
whose estate consisted of his in
terest in a closely held business
often resulted in forced sale of
the business to obtain cash for
death taxes. Now, in cases where
the value of interest of the de-
ceased in a given business exceeds
35 per cent of his gross estate,
federal estate taxes may be spread
over a ten-year period. Payment
may be made in ten annual in
stallments plus interest at A per
cent per year on the unpaid balance.
Congress has also raised the
loan limit of the Small Business
Administration from $250,000 to
$35O,O0O and elevated this bureau to
a permanent government agency.
Those borrowing directly from this
agency, get break too. for the
SBA's maximum interest rate on its
short-and intermediate-term loans
is reduced from S per cent to Az
per cent.
Small Business Investment Act
To my mind the most significant
legislation affecting small busi-
ness is the Small Business Invest
ment Act. This is an unprecedented
step toward overcoming one. of the
greatest handicaps facing small
business today, namely its inability
to obtain readily the equity capi-
tai and the long-term debt CAPT
tai it requires.

Work involved in owning horse

Dear Friends:
Taken as a whole, ] don't know

are more kind to humanity than

investment companies who pri-
mary purpose is to provide venture
capital for small and expanding
businesses can be established by
ten or more persons. Each COM
pany must be chartered and its
charter must be approved by SBA.
1t must also have a paid-in capi-
tai and surplus of not less than
100000. However, as much as half
of this might be obtained from SBA.
The small investment companies
thus organized could make long
term loans of up to twenty years
or even more. They could also
advance equity capital to small
firms through purchase of the small
firms debentures. BY law these de-
bentures must be convertible into
the small company's common stock.
Tax Benefits For Small Investment
Companies
OF course, the chief advantage to
a small business investment COM
pany and its shareholders lies in
the chance of long-term capital
gains which would be tax-favored.
Investment companies holding the
stock of small businesses would be
entitled to a 100 per cent dividend
received deduction instead of the
normal IS per cent.
Space does not permit listing
additional tax advantages to in
vestment companies chartered un-
der this new law. If you have in
terest in venture capital COM
panies, finance companies, or like
enterprises, suggest you may
gain taxwise and otherwise by con-
verting these firms into small busi-
ness investment companies under
this new law. Look into it!

Babson Park, Mass, Sept. IL. At
last Congress has gotten around
to doing something for small busi-
ness. Three major bills designed to
give small busines a break have
been enacted. For the information
of my readers, l am detailing here
the highlights of these new laws.
LOng-Needed Tax Relief
Included in this years tax law
revision are several provisions
which give small business firms a
better break. One of the most far
reaching of these permits an indi-
vidual-Or a cOrporation-to treat
as an ordinary loss, rather than a
capital loss, any investment loss
up to $4,000 on an idividual in
come tax return and up to $4,000
in joint return. OF course, this
Ordinary loss treatment is re-
stricted to original purchasers of
common stock in small businesses.
Transferees of the original pur-
chaser may not claim this privi-
lege.
In addition To present deprecl-
alton rates, separate first-year
allowance of 20 per cent of the
value of the depreciable property
up to $4,000 is now provided. This
allowance is boosted to 20 per cent
of the first $4,000 when joint
income tax return is made. OF
course, if this extra depreciation
is used, it will reduce the amount
of regular depreciation available
on the same property in future
years. You should also note that
this depreciation, concession is
limited to equipment and machin-
cry. Buildings are not included. A

French Fish Dish Goes American
BY CECILY BROWNSTONE
Associated Press Food Editor

THE FRENCH HAVE an utterly
delicious way of pOaching fish fill
lets, and serving them with various
sauces, that might well be more
widely used in this country.
In France, the fillets cooked in
this manner are often sole, and the
poached fish and its sauce is enjoy
ed sometimes as a first course at
dinner We have many varieties
of fillets that may be used this way,
and the dish that results will make
a fine main course for lunch or
supper.
The old New York Ritz Hotel, was
llive, he would occasionally pre-
pare fish fillets with Sauce Dug

omatoes, onion (or shallot), cream
ind other seasonings. This sauce,
according to an English authority,
was created by M. Duglere, chef at
The Cafe Anglais in Paris in pre-
World War days.
