Dear Mr.. East:
have certainly enjoyed the is
sues of PETAL PAPER that I
have received. Since the time I
started reading your paper, Ar
kansas has done her best to try
to copy Mississippi. Mississippi
can be thankful; however, that
she doesn't have Faubus.
/ would like to disagree with
one of your editorials - the one
on whether Mississippi should
stay dry or go wet.
There probably is a lot of IL
legal drinking going on; however,
the solution to this drinking is
not to make drinking legal = this
would only bring about more
drinking.
Here, as I understand it, is your
reasoning to vote for a wet state:
people are going to drink, no mat
ter what, so why not tax alcohol
and make it legal, which would
bring more money into the state.
It seems to me that this same
reasoning could be used to legal
ize murder: people are going to
kill, no matter what laws you
have or how well they are enforc-
ed, so why not legalize and tax
murder - look at what fine
schools could be built with the
money, to say nothing of all the
help to the old folks and orphans.
AS I look at the results of al
cohol, I think it would be ex-
tremely difficult to justify your
position; yet, if you can, why not
deal with the real question of
how drinking affects the person
atty of the person, not with some
little evasive argument that is ap-
pealing, but fails to deal with the
basic question.
Sincerity Yours,
Don Franks
P.S. I have lived in both wet
and dry counties - I'll take dry.

So the Irish and Malayans
eliminated all mention Of Com

statement that the Tibetans'

They also wrote in an i'm

resolution once spoke simply of
events in Tibet as having en-
Uttered relations between peo-
Piles. Now it adds that this is
happening at a time when
leaders of various countries
are making earnest and sincere
efforts to relax tensions. The
resolution still would have the
Assembly reaffirm the right Of

Mr.. Robertson and Mr.. Guer-

Mr.. Guerrero was reported

thought some Asian nations
were reluctant to get into any

cause it might counter re-

IRIS OverruIed
In Termite Case

Termite damage can be of
some advantage under the tax
law.
This was revealed in the case
of Mr.. and Mrs. E. G. Kilroe
of Winter Park, Fla, in which
the Internal Revenue Service
disallowed a deduction in 1855
of $2,042 for repairing the
damage done by the termites.
They claimed $465 in additional
income taxes.
The Kilroes appealed and
the United States Tax Court
has handed down a decision
in their favor.
The court ruled the termite
infestation had occurred with
sufficient suddenness to be con-
sidered a casualty under the
law.
