AS a first timer in the young

professional resemblance, let it
be said, between Cheri, Suzie

The Good Soup" is the work
OF Felicien Marceau, adapted
by Carson Kanin. 1t is in con-
siderably less appealing form

which may partially be ex-
planned by the fact that an

For all that it sat through long

again.
Wearing a red wig, a short
black dress, and a mouth meant

Miss Gordon is a vivacious

That is the orbit in which
she moves so nimbly, mentally

more remote stage area is Miss
Nye, who plays the youthful

OF the multitude of others in

splendid in a variety of parts
including a sedate wife and a
protective m ther; Ernest
Truck is amusing as a wealthy,
improbable roue type; and Sam
Levene is useful as a mordant

THEY REALLY SERVE

Chambers of Commerce can
be among the most useful of
organizations serving any COM
munity. And as much as these
organizations have already ac~
complished, their potential is
even greater.
St. Petersburg, Florida, for
some years carried on a haSSle
over the question Of artificial
fluoridation Of their municipal
water supply. The city water
was originally fluoridated sew
eral years ago without the
people having anything to say
about it. Their constitutional
rights were ignored by a form
er city manager who allegedly
bought equipment with which
to fluoridate the water without
prior action by the city COM
mission. Then the commission
by bare majority approved
the action and the poison was
introduced into the city water.
A strong movement deve-
loped to have fluoridation
thrown out, and under the next
Mayor the practice was discon-
tinued. A large quantity Of the
poison was still on hand, and
posed quite a problem as to

COmplexity Needs Controls?

But our economy has become
SO terribly complex, We HAVE
to have more government con-
troll" This is the common cry to
which Leonard Read of THE
FREEMAN offers the following
thoughtful reply:
Let us take the simplest pos
sible sltuation-just you and | .
Do you honestly think | would
be competent to coercively con-
troll what you shall invent, dis
cover. or create, what the hours
of your labor shall be, what
wages you shall receive, what
and with whom you shall associ-
ate and exchange? Is not my in
competence demonstrably appar-
ent in this simplest of all soci-
cites?
Nov let us contemplate a
really complex situation - the
1T, 100000 people of this nation.
If l were to suggest that / should
take over the management of
their lives and their billions of
exchanges, you would think me
the victim of hallucinations.
rs it not obvious that the
more complex an economy, the
more certainly will governmental
control Of productive effort exert
a retarding influence? Obviously,
the more complex our economy,
the more we should rely on the
miraculous, self-adapting pro-
cesSes of men acting freely.
mo mind of man nor any COM
bination of minds can even
envision, let alone intelligently
control, the countless human
energy exchanges in a simple
society, to say nothing of a COM
plex one!"

Where Your Dollar Goes

Where does the money go? How does
the Noble county family spend its income
and for what?
Latest facts and figures, covering fiscal
1859, show that local residents are devoting
49 percent of their available cash, after
settling with the tax collector, for purchases
Of food and for private transportation. The
latter includes purchases of automobiles,
motorcycles and boats, together with main
tenance, fuel and oil.
The findings are contained in the annual
survey Of the Standard Rate and Data Ser
vice, covering all parts Of the country.
Detailed for each area is it's spending pattern
during the twelve months ending July l,
1859.
In Noble county, the survey shows, the
amount spent for food and transportation
came to S5156,000 in the year.
Of this, $1,438000 went to local stores
selling food for home use. Restaurant sales
are not included
Purchases of automotive equipment and
accessories represented another $2,636000.

Income Tax Hints
sc.
NobIeCounfidns

Travelling expenses in connec-
ton with your employment can
be deducted from your income
in arriving at your adjusted gross
income. This means that you
can also use the standard deduc-
ton or itmeiZe your deductions
whichever is better for you.
Out-Of-ToWn Expenses - The
law provides special deductions
for the expenses of travel while
away from home in connection
with your employers business.
Travelling away from home"
means going away from the city
or town where you normally
work and remaining away at
least overnight. Travel eX-
penses' means the cost of trans
portation fares, meals, and lodg-
ing, and includes porters" tips,
hire of public stenographers, bag
gage charges, and similar ex-
penSes n eceS sary to travel.
Travel expenses do not include
any entertainment expenses or
any personal expenses such as
laundry.
Other Transportation Expenses
- Even though you do not travel
away from home, as explained
above, you may deduct transport
alton expenses paid in connection
with the performance of services
for your employer. Transport
alton expenses include payments
for actual travel or, if you use
your own car, the business por-
ton of the cost of operation, in
cluding fuel, repairs, and deprec-
iation.
Expenses of Outside Statesmen
- The law allows "Outside Sales
men" to deduct all their ordinary
and necessary business expenses.
This applies only to full-time
statesmen who are engaged in
soliciting business for their en-
ployers away from their en-
ployer's place of business. The
term does not include one whose
principal activities consits of SER
vice and delivery such as a milk
driver salesman.
Any reimbursement of these
expenses must be included in
your income. Attach a state
ment to your return explaining in
detail the expenses you deduct.
Internal Revenue Service pro-
vides form 2l06 for this purpose.
Transportation expenses do not
include the expense Of commut-
ing to and from work. Commut-
ing is a personal living expense
and is not deductible.

to $10,452 ,000 gain over the $10,209000 of
the previous year.
Such strong consumer spending, SO soon
after emerging from a depression, is attri-
buted to firm confidence on the part of the
general public of good times ahead.
In general, they reasoned, jobs have
been steady and wages moving upward,
despite some temporary setbacks. Conditions
were about right, therefore, to get some of
those big-ticket items that they had been
putting off buying, even though it meant an
increase in their installment debt. Besides,
prices would be higher later on, so the
thing to do was to buy now.
AS a result, the SRDS figures show
retail stores in Noble county had sales that
amounted to 1924 per local household.
This topped the average in the previous
fiscal year of $2876 per household.
Of the 10,452,000 in total retail business
locally, the principal part, other than that
garnered by food and automotive stores, went
for general merchandise, 81, ,121 900, apparel
$4,000, home furnishings, $274000, and
drugs, $4,000.

Too Much For Our Whistle,

One day, as boy, Ben Frank
lin found himself with a pocket
ful of pennies. At the store, he
was SO fascinated by the sound
of certain whistle that he laid
all the pennies on the counter.
Not until later did he realize that
he had paid far too much for his
whistle.
The liberty to buy and sell in
the open market at whatever
price we can get or are willing
to give is, of course, a priceless
heritage of competitive free en-
terprise. If we don't like the
price, we can 60 elsewhere with
our cash. Yet, foolisFily, like
young Franklin, many of us, in
deed, pay too much for our
whistle"
Not simply in money, though
we do that, too. Our worst bar
gains are at a deeper level, and
we should take look at them.
For instance, financial success
at the price Of integrity and
principle, gay escapade at the
price Of happiness at home, beg
ged favor at the cost of indepen-
dence and self-respect, the vic
tory of gaining an advantage at
the cost of the respect of our
friends.
And then that rash of bad bar
gaining in which America is
engaged: the selling of freedom
for security, fiscal solvency for
political eXpediency, and the
philosophy Of peace at any
price"
Maybe it's time to start asking,
Are we paying too much for our
whistler"

its disposal. Then a change of
administration and a new COM
mission and Mayor apparently
decided to feed the stuff to the
people rather than to fish in
the streams or the gulf, or to
birds or vegetation. Fluorida-
ton was back again.
Now the opposition grew
strong enough to persuade the
Mayor and Commission to
authorize a public referendum
on the question so the people
themselves could decide, and
to suspend fluoridation until
after the people had decided.
Late last fall the people
decided by a vote of three to
two against fluoridation, and
the question is settled unless a
new referendum is held, which
appears highly improbable.
During the struggle it was
interesting to note the conflict
of authorities and the use of
coercion and various forms of
pressure to secure approval of
fluoridatiOn. Dentists were
afraid to come out openly
against it, with very few ex-
ceptions, because it could mean
being dropped from the dental
association. Claims both for
and against fluoridation came
from the medical association,

Which brings to mind what some people
are saying: that in the atomic age there is no
real need for the National Guard.
We say that in the age of atomic, mass

Don't take our word for it. Here's what
a man who should know says:
II emphasize that in this era of terrible
weaponry and of incredibly swift delivery
systems and in time when all America has
moved from the rear echelons to the front
lines in any future conflict, the continuance
of the National Guard in instant readiness

Greatest Good For The
Greatest Number?

Have you ever thought what is
involved in that utilitarian pre-
cept, "The greatest good for the
greatest number? Unless it is
severely qualified, it can be the
most dangerous moral stand
ard" ever devised.
For, in its unqualified form, it
is the rule by which democracy
operates the democracy Of
which Sam Adams said, Demo
cracy never lasts long 1t soon
wastes, exhausts, and murders
itself. There never was a demo-
cracy that did not commit
suicide"
That is why the Founding
Fathers made America a Re-
public, with severely limited
governmental powers and guar
anteed individual rights which
no majority rule" is supposed to
be able to change.
But with the subtle transfor-
nation of our republic into a
democracy, with its doctrine of
"the greatest good for the great
est number" whatever the
greatest number" wants, it gets.
Whenever the good" is defined
by majority demand, no individ-
ual and no minority is any longer
secure. What YOU want and be-
lieve in is always subject to maj
ority veto.
The Constitution and Bill of
Rights were designed to save us
from that. The Constitution was
meant to save us from demo-
cracy. But now that we seem to
prefer a democracy to a republic,
how much longer before ''it
wastes, eXhausts, and murders

TREND REVERSED

The Toronto Globe and Mail
has drawn attention to a rever-
sal Of movement across the bOr-
der stretching between Canada
and the United States. Whereas
for many years graduates of
Canadian colleges flocked from
Canada to the United States to
take university teaching posi-
tons, the movement is now in
the opposite direction.
The migration to the u. S. A.
was because Uncle Sam offered
better paying teacher positions.
But today the salary level at
some Canadian universities runs
higher by $4,000 more than COM
parable teaching positions south
of the border. Salaries at the
University of Toronto are on a
level with those of Harvard, Yale
and Princeton - full professors
receiving from $4,000 to $4,000,
with an average of approximately
1000. While not all Canadian
institutions of higher education
are paying that well, the trend
continues upwards.
AS a result, Canadians are be-
ginning to return home and quite
a few American educators are
leaving teaching positions in the
u. S. A. to take on better paying
jobs in the Dominion.
The boot is certainly now on
the other foot. While U. S. A. col
leges and universities are expert
encing considerable difficulty in
raising salaries, our friends to the
north somehow are managing to
do So
This is good competition from
a good neighbor, and is one that
should be most welcome to col
lege professors in both countries
who admittedly have been
grossly underpaid. 1t should also
attract more and better men and
women to embrace the teaching
profession.

1t Doesn't Make Sense

The San Juan Mission News of
San Juan BautiSta, Calf, in its
December l8, 1859, issue carried
an editorial titled: 1T Doesn't
Make Sense" 1t doesn't make
sense to us either and we strong
ly suspect it won't make sense to
any of the readers of this column,
We quote the editorial in full:
THE MISSION News has often
been accused of going overheard
on matters pertaining to govern
ment participation in our private
lives.
Well, here is an example of
what this newspaper means. See
if you agree that it doesn't make
a bit of sense!
In a hearing before the House
Ways and Means Committee, E.
Roy Gilpin, an attorney for the
electric industry Eyes, private
enterpriSe) said the US. Govern
ment will LOSE $ll and one half
BILLION in revenue during the
next II years IF present tax eX-
emptions and preferential treat
mentS are continued in the cleo
trio power field.
How did he arrive at this as
Economical set of figures? This
sum is the amount of TAXES
private companies would have
paid had they conducted the
electric power business on non
taxed government power!
1t seems ridiculous and useless
to this newspaper to talk about
stemming initiation when Con-
gress sanctions expenditures and
other privileges.
The public power advocates
would scream to high heaven if
tax exemptions were given to
private power companies in order
to reduce THEIR rates.
No, it just doesn't make sense!
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1960-02-18

but most of the opposition to
fluoridation was aWed into
silence.
The Parent Teachers Assoc
iation would not listen to the
case against fluoridation be-
cause of action by the national
body inStructing local P.T.A.'s
to approve fluoridation. Not
exactly a democratic proce-
dure, and somewhat ironical
considering that it came from
a body professionally commit
ted to free speech and conSid-
Grafton of all sides of a ques-
ton.
Bias, prejudice, support and
unsupported information and
claims played a prominent part
in the haSSle, but the really
significant issue originally
ignored, finally determined the
decision. For, above the actual
merits or dement's Of the queS-
ton of fluOridation is the prin-
ciple involved. No government
has the right to force mass
medication on the people.
Under our Constitution each in
dividual has the right TO deter
mine for himself whether or
not he shall be mass-medicat-
ed, except only when the public
health is at stake through COM
munication of disease. And
every one admits that cavities
in teeth are not a commune
able disease. It is also known
that there are other and even
better alternative for dealing
with this dental disease, known
as carries.
It was the Chamber of Com
merce of st. Petersburg that
set the sound example. These
men recognized that here was
a technical question on which
they were not qualified to
make any decision, and that it
was not in their province to
make any decisions for the
public. They refused to be
sucked into approval of fluori-
dation of public water sup
plies. They recognized their
responsibility to the large
tourist population of the city
and refused to approve policy
that might endanger the we'll
being of the thousands of SEN
ior citizens who come to this
haven of sun and comfort to
brighten the sunset years of
their lives.
And the public endorsed that
stand by their humping major
ity in the referendum against
fluoridation. They have shown
their determination to keep
their city safe for those who
seek its hospitality.
Ave to the Chamber of Com
merce which refuses to be
drawn into something on which
it lacks expert knowledge, and
instead spends its energies in
helping to coordinate the az j.
Vities of all citizens in the best
interests of their community.
Such an organization deserves
your support.
