FAMOUS FABLES

UNDESERVING: On the day
that Oscar Wilde was taken to

He, and the two convicts to

to wait for more than q half
hour on an open railway plat

Wilde, soaked and shivering
turned to the guard and said

serve to have any"

State and local tax offlcials
hard pressed for cash. are
avidly digging for new tax
sources. Separate studies done
recently at Harvard and Ohio
State Universities both indicate
rather strongly that the major
source of new revenue at the
moment is business and COM
mercial activities.
Lawmakers are said to be de-
vising all sorts Of ways to get
a few extra dollars out OF in
dustry.
A prime example is Balti-
more. where the city fathers
have levied a 6 per cent tax on
advertising-4 per cent on ad-
vertising in newspapers. maya
zine. broadcasting and outdoor
channels. 2 per cent on the
gross receipts Of these media
Issue Taken TO Court
The Baltimore ad-tax ha,
stirred up a real hornet-likt
protest, however, and Is pub.
LEGATIONS, radio-TV stations anc
other affected groups hav,
joined hands TO force the ISSUE
in court. They are claiming
such taxes are discriminatory
and illegal, that they violate
due process. the freedom OF thu
press, and assorted other Con
stitutional guarantees.
The case is due to get unde
way in a Baltimore Circui
Court early in March in spit,
of the fact that city official
indicate they will withdraw tn,
tax in 1859. and that the Mary
land legislature is considering
measures to ban such take
entirely.

are strength, vitality and hap

ness Of purpose - interest -
serenity of spirit? And have we
more or less of these as the
years pass by? We hear much
Of beating the calendar
Does this mean keeping busy
and useful in spite of growing
older? Why not because OF
growing older?
Perhaps the poet was right
when he said:

Joy the blessings of the pres

to be done-as among the good

The book was written by Err

However, what I do want

In such cases. you would be
endangering your child's life.
You would be far of the target.
For example, lobar pneu-

symptoms like pain. nausea,
vomiting. tenderness and mus
Gle spasm. See how easily these
symptoms might be mixed up
with those of acute Appendix

can produce similar symptoms.
AS the element of time is so
important in pneumonia and

how necessary it is to have

of them. Like this:
"Old Granny Cricket's rocking

"Creakity creak, creakity

Back and forth and here and
there
"Squeakity squeak. squeak

Jobs Bring COntentment
So rocking chairs have never
been a menace to me. Instead,
a joy.
AS for jobS-when one has
been brought up in a family
where there are always home
jobs to be done, one does them
as a matter of course. And one
becomes accustomed to looking
for them. They are, many of
them. just chOreS-not very
stimulating or interesting but
giving one a feeling of COM
petence and the pleasure of
being needed.
1t is important for a woman
that she marrieS q man who
feels as she does about work,
and wants her to work with
him. She is fortunate if he has
wide horizons and helps her to
see more and more things need
ing to be done in the world.
With the years, one should
learn to live with oneself and
with other people. One should
learn ones limitations. Within
these one should be able to
keep physically At. mentally
alert. emotionally serene and
socially adjusted. One should
be able to enjoy without pos
SeSsing and to recognize that
many Of the best things in life
are free" as far as money is
concerned-like service, beauty,
affection.
1t helps to realize that time
and energy are resources-just
as money Is q resource. II

satisfied. But some brave souls

Local Taxes Increasing
The trend toward more
stringent tag laws at the local
and State level can be seer
from a little noticed survey
recently made by Walter Heller

University OF Minnesota.
Around l947, the survey
shows, State-local taxes &C.

on Government in the United
States. In 1857 the ratio wa,
approaching 81 out of every S;

That is 100 per cent Jump II

The trend suggests a busy
time for United States courts
