NOT A GOOD BUY (!

Among the debts we owe, not including those which we
must repay painfully in the prevailing currency, is a debt to
our community or home town. There are those who never con-
slider this a debt, but it is real debt
Let us take a look at ourselves. We have a nice town, a
paved road, beautiful surrounding agricultural country. Now
if we stop and give some thought as to how it all got there
maybe it will occur to us that someone must have been loyal
to the town.
If we all %truthfully, and seriously, think for a moment, it
is clear that to keep this gift given to us, we must be loyal
ourselves. Those who think they are fooling the people of this
area by using mail order catalogues, or looking for some place
away from home to buy things Cheaper" are really doing
more than they realize, for they are not only fooling others in
the community they are also fooling themselves.
The few cents saved on sending money away from home
is in a way taken right out of the pocket of the sender. Local
merchants are here to stay, they hope, and they in turn spend
that same dollar at home or they should which will
eventually, in part, be returned to the starting point.
Every dollar that is sent away is given wings, and is not
a homing pigeon. When you order away from home kiss that
money GOOD BYE. Which makes the article you receive

this allotment must be at least
equal to his basic allowance for

Disciplinary action may be

to direct the creation of a Glass

The secretary of the treasury has
delegated his authority to the
commandant of the Coast Guard.

a service secretary or the Coast
Guard Commandant can start,

ABOUT 80 years ago, when
progressive education" was at
its zenith, day schools which
emphasized the "new freedom"
arose in many cities. Among
the virtues of these day schools
was their emphasis on the child
as an individual person and on
stimulating his creative inter-
ests.
However, they minimized
standards of achievement IN
the three RS and tried to avoid
mental competition among pu-
pills and students.
Complete Freedom
Anything that smacked OF
conformity or RECOMMENDATION
was taboo. Each child was
supposed to study or do at any
time about what he wished to
do and to avoid what ne oldnI
feel like doing.
The children in these schools
usually came from homes where
restraints were cast pretty
much to the winds.
Many Disappeared

The Widnall and the Van

Democrats especially eager for
legislation of this kind.

Mr.. Widnall described his
measure as fan administration
bill" Mr.. Van Zandt and sew
Ieral other Republicans long ac-
tive in trying to obtain passage
of such legislation complained
that they we're not consulted by
the administration.
Both Republican bills are de-
signed to meet major objec-
tions of Mr.. Eisenhower in his
veto of the Democratic bill that
would have authorized $25l
million in Federal loans and
grants to help economically de-
pressed urban and rural areas.
The Republican sponsors also
said their proposed compromise
bills retain some important pro-
visions advocated by the Demo-
Gratis. But an influential Demo-
crat on the House Banking
Committee predicted those bills
would have trouble getting
through that committee.
The Widnall bill would pro-
vide for a Federal total OF
about $3.50 million. The Van
Zandt-Scott bills total would
be $l08 million. Both bills
would limit loan assistance only
to urban areas. Such Federal
assistance would be restricted
to 35 per cent of the aggregate
cost of construction or refur-
bishing of industrial plants,
The vetoed bill provided for
Federal participation up to IS
per cent. Instead of creating a
new Federal agency to admin
lister the program, the new Re-
publican bills would provide for
presidential appointment Of
an area assistance administra-
tor in the Commerce Depart
ment.
