Poor Safety Examples
Recently The paper carriI

Recently the paper carried
an item to the effect that the
judge of the Traffic Court
found a motorcyclist not
guilty Of incorrect parking
due to the fact motorcycle
police were guilty of the same
offense. The Judge felt it was
the duty Of the police to set
an example of compliance
with traffic regulations. Along
this same line, two instances
of similar disregard for traffic
regulations in Arlington have
been noted by me.
While driving east on Fair
fax drive between Glebe road
and Kann'S, an Arlington
Safety Patrol car clung to
the center lane on q dual
highway for the entire dis
tance. Had I passed him on
his right or been guilty Of
the same offense when he
was following me, it is q
l0-to-l bet he would have
pulled me over. Again, in the
parking lot at Arlington
Tower, Falls Church, a car
marked Driving Instruc-
ton" was sitting right in the
middle of the traffic lane, ap-
parently waiting for some
one making a quick purchase
and not wishing to take the
trouble to pull into a park
ing space even though there
were a number of vacancies.
How can we expect safe
driving on the part Of the
public when those in a posi-
ton Of instructors or safety
patrol officers show no more
respect for or knowledge Of
decent driving habits (to say
nothing Of trafflc regula-
tions) than is indicated by
these two instances?

On Psychiotrists

AS a Marylander, I have
been pleased many times to
find myself living north of
the Potomac River, but never
more so than after having
read the comments recorded
in The Star Of DR.. G. T.
Mann, State Chief Medical
Examiner, before the Judicial
Conference Of Virginia at
Old Point Comfort. DR.. Mann,
who holds both law and med
ical degrees, stated: "Psy-
chiatrists don't understand
each other and in a majority
Of cases do not even under
stand themselves"
DR.. Mann seems to feel
this is a trait peculiar to
psychiatristS. I would like
DR.. Mann to tell us how
many lawyers and how many
doctors he has consulted Tor
has known of someone else
having consulted) who have
been in complete agreement
on a simple law interpreta-
tion or lin the case of q
eral practitioner) the
treatment for a simple cold
or simple acne or backache.
What a pity that anyone
should attempt to under
mine confidence in the spe-
cialistS doing a tough job
Of artful and scientific treat
ment Of the mentally ILL
particularly during May,
Mental Health Month, as
proclaimed In the United
States Senate!

Everybody loves The Ram
bier. Everybody reads his
column. You can't help low
ing him. He grows on you.
And his admirers are legion.
All Of us other George Ken
nedys know how popular he
is. For as he said last Tues
day in his column, many of
his fans mistake us for him,
which is flattering, and they
often telephone us when they
want him, which is disap-
pointing.
The Rambler described all
this the other night - how
the public relations men at
the telephone company sug-
gested that he use his correct
name in his by-line in the
hope that his many admirers
would then be able to reach
him at home without having
to telephone all us other
George Kennedys in the book.
He rambled on in the column,
telling how many telephones
there are in Washington,
Baltimore and other places,
how simple it is these days to
make long-distance calls, who
prints the telephone books,
when the new book is coming
out, and so forth. It was a
fascinating column.
I was interrupted in read
ing 1t by an admirer Of The
Rambler who called to tell
him how interesting all that
information was about the
telephone company. When I
told the fellow the correct
number to dial to get The
Rambler. he didn't believe
me, because he said the num-
Der I gave him was listed to
George H. Kennedy, jr.. and
The Rambler was George
Kennedy. He had the tele-
phone book in front of him.
Funny thing, I said, but
The Rambler and George H.
Kennedy. jr., are one and the
same gentleman, and his
telephone number is Temple
6-7047. That's odd" he re-
piled. II wonder why he signs

Congress and Court

1t does me good to read the
Constitution of the United
States once in a while, unen
numbered by the mass of
constructions which has
been piled upon it by the
courts.
The founding fathers pro-
vided that final power shall
rest in the hands of the peo-
pie, and no monkey business.
The Constitution says in
Article III. Section 2, after
setting forth the judicial
powers, "the Supreme Court
shall have appellate juris-
diction, both as to law and
fact, with such exceptions
and under such regulations
as the Congress shall make"
1t is about time that State
laws concerning subversive
actions be made exceptions.
The prospect that my
grandchildren may attend a
public school taught by q
proven Communist is sicken-
ing to me.
Warren B. Manter.

Recent decisions and re-
versals of the Supreme Court
have annoyed 10 of Is mem
bers of a Senate Judiciary
subcommittee, leading to a
feeling that the court needs
serious Furnishing. Perhaps
so does the Congress.

fallible is indisputable-laws

beings. Laws have sectional

More Schools Needed

I was impressed that the
Board of Education voted not
to accept the cut-back Of the
school construction budget
made by the joint congress
sional committee. We women
are proud Of the courageous
Mrs. Ruth Spencer, member
Of the board. who raised her
voice in protest to the pro-
posed congressional cut. Mrs.
Spencer made a statement,
put it in the form of a mo-
ton. which was seconded and
unanimously adopted by the
board. 1t glows with fortitude,
conviction and determination
and should arouse this COM
munity to mobilize, and use
its power, to protest against
such tyranny.

the children of the present
and the future.
There are at present schools
on part time from the first to
the fourth grades. Some are
taught in Easements, some in
Railways and others in as
sembly rooms that have been
partitioned. What can be ex-
pected Of them as future citi-
zenS? How can the experts
who made a survey Of school
standards compare such neg
lected children in their scho-
lastic development with those
who are taught under more
fortunate conditions and en-
vironmentS?
Let us as citizens and tax
payers stand behind the de-
mand for an increased budget
to bring our system up to the
actual needs and standards.

that the source Of light is

Results Of Explosion
At the start of creation
in its present form, five or
six billion years ago, all mat
ter in the universe is believed
to have been contained in a
single mass which became
too complicated to hold to-
gether and exploded. Stars
and galaxies presumably are
outward flying fragments
from this explosion. The
greater the red shift, the
greater the speed and hence
the greater the distance.
There is a possibility that
some other, still unknown
factors are involved but at
present the extent Of the
red shift is accepted as a
measure of the distance of
objects so distant their re-
moteness can be measured
in no other way.
During the year, according
to the Carnegie report, new
techniques for more precise
measurement of this red
shift have been developed by

atory staff. This is a system

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES {. TRACEWELL

A famous physician once
said that man is the only
animal that likes to take
medicine.
This is true, but it is like
wise so that many animals
like to take medicine of their
own choosing.
Both dog and cat seek
out certain grasses and
plants for various maladies
their flesh is heir to; how
much good their self medi-
cation" does them is another
matter.
Cats are notorious for their
addiction TO grass.
They love to eat catnip
herb, and very much love to
smell valerian root. Since the
latter is a smelly thing, once
used for nervous Affections
OF man, it often amazes a
householder that his pet
cat would like it.
The truth is these interes-
ting animals have odd tastes,
at times, and one of them is
for the fatty acids of sweat.
One of these acids is in va
lerian root.
The house cat sometimes
will lick asphalt sidewalks or
concrete basement floors.
This is to get into its sys-
TEN needed alkalis.
Some food element, prob
ably calcium, may also be
lacking to the pet.
A reconsideration of its diet
is always advisable when it
shows perverse tastes. (Also,
test for worms.)
The dog is more likely to
eat almost anything he finds
in his travels, and cannot
be regarded with as much
surety as to its liking for
medicines.
Bears led the native "In-
dians" of North America to
some Of their best medical
discoveries.
The bears ate various small
plants, commonly called
herbs, and the redmen
watched the effects, and de-
cided to apply them to them
selves, often with good re-
suits.
This native wisdom is
sometimes seen in small chill
dren, who seem to have a
sort Of sixth sense as to what
is good" for them among
berries, grasses and fruits.

animals are not so dumb as

January III, 1898
Dear Editor:
After SO many wild statements
being made about it, | would
like to have you print the true
story of how Caldwell became
an exempted village district.
Back in the '20's all children
living in Maple Heights and
Florence were in the Belle Val
ley high school district. At that
time, there were fourteen teach
ers employed in those two COM
munitieS, which shows a good
many children lived there. Many
Of the boys were good athletes,
too. In these days Belle Valley
was cock of the walk in basket
ball, but had no football team
Most of the boys from Florence
and Maple Heights came to Cald-
well high school, not Belle
Valley, and usually played well
in both sports.
Naturally there was constant
quarrehng between the Noble
township and Caldwell school
boards regarding tuition, and
between the sports followers in
the two towns as to who ought
to play where. In the end, after
much squabbling, the Caldwell
Exempted Village District was
formed, taking in these two
communities so that the boys
continued to come here.
This was a long time ago,
but it left the same residue of
hard feeling that the Civil War
and its after affects has left on
the school situation in the South.
If you want to test this, ask some
citizen of Belle Valley if they
won't consider consolidating with
Caldwell. You will get the same
type of answer received if you
ask some Caldwell persons about
consolidating with the county.
What | object to, is having
this problem, which as one of
sentiment is practically unsolv-
able, used as an argument
against the present bond issue,
especially by one who, I believe.
is not resident of the district
and not eligible to vote on the
issue.
Now Or in ten years, in an
exempted or consolidated dis
trict, the same number of chill
dren will be here. They are
already born and will need
rooms to sit in when they get

Income 7 ak Hints
for
Noble Counfiuns

Medical expenses present
great opportunities for switching
expenses from one year TO
another.
As you no doubt know, medical
expenses are deductible to the
extent they exceed go of your
adjusted gross income, but not
more than $2,500 per personal
exemption and not more than
$4,000 on a separate return or
more than $4,000 on a joint or
head of household return. Ex-
emptions for old age and blind
ness do not count. If you or
your spouse are over 65 years
old, the 3ga provision does not
apply to you.
Now suppose that you have
large unpaid medical expenses
this year and will have even
more in 1858. Well, you do not
pay any of these this year. Wait
until 1858 and pay them all in
that year. This way you will
have the advantage of the full
deduction instead of losing 39o
of your income this year as well
as $50 of your income for 1858.
This works the other way too.
Suppose you paid medical
expense of over $50 of your
adjusted gross income and will
have a deduction and you still
owe medical bills which you
plan to pay in 1858. If you pay
those bills before the end of the
year they will be deduction
this year. You won't have to use
them to make up $50 of your
adjusted gross income for 1858
before you can start deducting
again. If you do not have funds
readily available it might be
| wise to borrow the money.
Let's see how that would work
Suppose you borrow $500 from
a bank and repay in twelve
monthly installments. Your cost
for such a loan would be about
$35. Now suppose you take this
$500 and pay deductible bills
with it. If you are paying taxes
at the lowest rate, you will save
500. Your net profit on the
transaction will be about $65.
| Remember too, that any in
terest paid on borrowed money
| will become a deduction mex
year.

to school age. The only ways
you can stop the need FOR more
space are by putting strychnine
in the school lunches, a plan
hardly likely to be used; or by
defeating bond issues and letting
the schools deteriorate until an
even larger percentage of young
people who desire advantages
for their children are forced to
move away from here.
At any rate, let's please not
confuse two problems, as it S
hard enough to solve them one
at time, without mixing them
together.
