Perfectly. It's something I've under

in your racket, just the same = you have
to stay alone. quite alone. Caring about
somebody makes you too dangerously
vulnerable. They can be threatened, you
see, and if the threat were made good
and you lost them, what could you do?
Nothing. Nothing that would be any
good. So you just don't dare do anything
that would risk their lives. That's how
it is, isn't it, as soon as you forget to
keep your heart to yourSelf?'
Ouardo looked utterly different.
Scared, shocked, human. YOU'D kill a

For hundred peSetas plenty of men
in this village would kill Hector. They
don't feel the way we do about dogs"
Duardo couldn't deny that. ''You
know what would happen to you then"
The answer came confidently. Moth

not going to lose Hector. You just can't
afford to risk losing him. So we're going

who live on McAlister Avenue. Do
you know that this is the third

in Topeka. Our first group lived

are gone. Six years in the Air

friends stationed at the same base.
Major and Mrs. Heyant were at

with the R. o. T.. C. there. They
now are in Washington, d. c., and
he is currently rewriting text books
for Uncle Sam. Captain and Mrs.
William Roy are now civilians and
he has an excellent practice in
Topeka--he is an o. B. doctor, in

Colonel and Mrs. Shirley left last
spring for California where he is
assigned to a missile base. Tomor-

of first neighbors, will be our
guests for a farewell dinner, Major
and Mrs. Wright will leave on
Wednesday with their five children
for March AFB, in California.
Death of both of Bill Wright's par

back to their home on the Pacific
Coast. Surely do hate to have them

believe an artist has had his hand

Shall / Build As An Investment
/ am not in favor of building -or
buying residential property to be
rented as an investment Such prop
erty is usually fairly high in cost
and often does not bring in any
very large return. 1t is expensive
to maintain and can turn out to
be big headache if unemployment
becomes widespread, forcing peo-
pie to double up
A further reason for steering
clear of investment in residential
rental units is the tax situation.
Local taxes on real estate are
heading higher. They will make
sharp advances during the next
few years and rent returns prob
bly, cannot be boosted sufficiently
to fully offset this additional ex-
penditure. Also, if war should come

If you need a new house, and

So if you need a house now, or a

buy it. To delay such a purchase
when yGu really need it is to cheat
yourself. There is a chance you

Dear Friends:
The Quemoy mess in the Pacific
necessitated another alert here al
our base. No one was deployed to
another base, but all crews were
on strict alert. There are always
lots of parties and big engagements
cancelled. The children were the
ones who were disappointed this
time The alert was called the first
day of the Kansas Free Fair.
Since Hayes was not permitted
to leave his home phone, we left
him home alone and the children
and l went to the fair. Not being
my ole exuberant self these days
the girls did not see as much OF
the fair as they would have pre-
ferre6. Friday evening, the last
day of the fair, Hayes was releas-
ed from the alert and we all went
to the fair grounds for dinner (ate
in a pavilion where meals were
served by members of the Nor
mon church, to let the children
ride on some wild contraptions, and
to see the exhibits.
Lynne's sixth grade teacher had
suggested several exhibits that he
wanted his class to especially no.
tice, one of which was the art show
My favorite medium of art is not
water colors, but my favorite
painting in the whole gallery this
year was just that. 1t was a very
bright, vivid painting of many col
ored people hoeing in a field. Their
weary figures and muscular ap-
pendages were so well portrayed tC
me. / asked a lady sitting at the
desk if she might know who Mr.
x, the artist was and if he could
possibly be from Topeka and the
price of water color. The price
was $4,000 and Mr.. KS address
was Federal Penitentiary, Leaven-
worth, Kansas. Hope Hayes will
think of this painting again al
Christmas time and l shouldn't say
l hope the artists address is still
the same, but how else can we find
him.

President Eisenhower's courageous

For those couples who cannot
now see their way clear to buying
and carrying a single house, /
strongly recommend the purchase
Of two-family or duplex" house.
The two-family house, if well To-
Gated and bought under favorable
circumstances-and if you live in
one half yourself-is one of the
best real estate investments you
can make. You may think this con-
fiicts with what have written a.
lbove about rental residential prop
erty. However, / make the two
family house an exception. If you
own one of these and live in it, you
have a. good hedge against higher
costs and. taxes, for your tenant
shares the burden with you. Fur
thermore, your presence will en-
sure his taking better care of the
property than if you were an ab-
sentee landlord.
Houses Versus Land
There are two other important
points to remember:
1. When you build a house in a
good neighborhood, the land should
increase in value from the day you
move in; but depreciation on the
house will begin. directly after its
construction is completed. There

Whether you pay rent, own your
home or plan to build, you are in
terested in the building outlook.
You are concerned too, with how
such costs compare with those of
five or ten years ago and you want
to know the prospects for the fu-
ture.
Cost OF Building
Land values have stood up a
mazingly well during the sharp set
back met by general business. With
few exceptions, land is now sell
ing for as much. as or more than
it was year ago. Vacant land well
located in relation to the business
centers of most cities often COM
mands a premium price, especially
if zoning laws permit it to be de-
veloped for parking space Mean
while, land in the suburbs con-
tinues upward in price as does
"close in" farm land. I am bull
ish about most land. A severe de-
preston could sometime cut prices,
but the long-term trend is for high
er prices. Generally speaking, the
longer you postpone a. given land
purchase, the more the land will
cost you. ~
The construction industry is now
zooming along in high gear. Despite
the business downturn earlier this
year, expenditures for residential
building for the first seven months
were about the same as a year ago.
Bolstered by this good consumer
demand and by steadily rising
wages, construction and building
costs are at an all-time high (as
measured by an index covering 20
leading cities) Price pressure for

under the ultimatum which the

ly will accept the opportunity for

retreat. All our Allies will be
greatly cheered and anxious to
back us and get some of the glory.
60 If China does not quit her
use of force there will be a naval
battle between China and the United
States. Such would be entirely diff
ferent from what happened in Ko-
rea. Naval warfare does not re-
quire many men; and we are al
ready equipped for a naval con-
flict. This is something that has not
been fully understood by our emf
mics or our allies, who have been
thinking only of armies.

THE RIGHT TO SPEAK

Should government agencies have the
power to tell legitimate business and other
organizations what they may or may not say
in their advertising pain of heavy, tax
penalties?
To many people, who aren't yet aware
of what has been going on, and believe that
the right to speak ones mind without hind
rance is q rock-ribbed right in this country,
that question will seem absurd on its face.
Yet government agencies, in effect, have
been doing just that.
The Internal Revenue Service has ruled
that institutional advertising placed by util-
ity companies in which they present their
side of the public-vs-private power contro-
versy is not deductible business expense.
The Internal Revenue Service has fur
ther ruled that literature opposing socialism
produced and distributed by the Association
of American Physicians and Surgeons is not
deductibie expense.
The Internal Revenue Service has fur
ther ruled that advertising of the Timken
Roller Bearing Company, which discussed
such matters as capitalism as opposed to So
cialism, is not deductible business expense
And now the Renegotiation Board has
ordered the Boeing Airplane Company to
strike out some advertising expenditures
which had been added to defense contracts.
1t is likely that the Internal Revenue Service
will implement this.
In an editorial urging a strong fight
against such rulings, Editor and Publisher
says: "We think that institutional adver-
tising is vitally necessary to some COM
panies like Boeing that do not sell anything
directly to the public. 1t is just as important
to others like private utilities to protect them
selves against government competition. It
is important to companies like Timken to
convey the thinking of management to en-
ployees and the community
And something of far greater Importance
is at stake-the right of people to present
their side of controversies to the public with
out censorship by taxation.
EARLY FALL
The turn of September brought to many
parts of the country the first cool winds fol
lowing summer. Some of the nights brought
the first hint of fall and the prognosticators
Immediately began TO wonder whether they
were not right in having forecast an early
autumn.
1t should be remembered that summer is
still officially with US and will not depart
until September 23rd, at 10 q. m. This is
late Official arrival for autumn, which usu-
ally begins in September 21st or on the 22nd
and sometimes on the 10th. 1t never begins
later than September 23rd
Winter will arrive this year on December
21st at 3 40 a. m. 1t will be remembered that
the last winter was the most severe we have
experienced in some years, and if the pre-
dictions-that we are in cycle of colder and
colder winters-are accurate, we can expect
another severe winter.
The first indications of this month bear
out the predictions Summer arrived little
later than usual, and certainly the first chill
nights are earlier than usual. This year, it
is qgite probable, autumn weather may pre-
cede official autumn. and winter weather may
precede official winter

CONSTITUTION DAY

Constitution Day, which always falls on
September 18th, is perhaps more peril
nent day of observation this year than it has
been in many years. The reasons are obvious
many prominent Americans having charg-
ed in the last few months and years that our
Constitution is being constantly amended or
ignored.
The greatest criticism of the u. S. Su-
preme Court, by those who believe that the
court is the main usurper of constitutional
prerogatives, came recently when thirty-six
of the states Chief Justices voted to censor
the u. S. Supreme Court for taking the law
into its own hands and legiSlating. There
had been other attacks, of course, from var.
ious quarters, including those from prosecut-
ing groups who have encountered difficult
ties with the court in prosecuting commun-
lists and from those who believe that the Su-
preme Courts behavior in the school issue
has been legislative rather than judicial.
But of all the criticisms the fact that
three-fourths of the Chief Justices of the re-
spective states assail the Court remains the
most impressive testimonial to the danger
the country presently faces. Another testi-
mOnial to the dangerous situation which has
been created concerning the Court was the
action of Congress in its last session.
The House of Representatives passed by
a one-sided vote bill which would have, in
efect CHARMED many confusing Jur1Sd1ct1Onal
questions, in various fields, as result of
Supreme Court decision The bill was recog-
nized as rebuke to the Supreme Court and,
as such the forces defending the Supreme
Court were barely able to exc out a one
vote margin in the Senate-to prevent the
rebuke. The fact is, however, that more
members of Congress voted for the rebuke
than against it.
There are also criticism that the Execu-
tive Department continues to grow stronger
and stronger, thereby infringing on the
rights of the states. This is an argument,
and a process, which has continued for some
time. Thus, from more than one side the
rights of the states (all of those which were
not delegated to the federal government,
under the Constitution are being threaten
ed.
No matter what one may think of. the
Constitution today, it must be agreed that
it is a sacred instrument and it must be pre-
served-for under it the United States has
achieved unparalleled progress and it's cit
izens unparalleled democratic and material
gains. Every citizen should think seriously
about the Constitution, and re-read it, and
the circumstances under which it was writ
ten, on the 18th, Constitution Day, or some
time during the month.
