MAY, JUNE AND MARRIAGES

A lot of people may not know it, but
May was formerly considered an unIucky
month for marriage. We in the United
States do not pay too much attention to this
superstition today, and many of our youngs-
ters are married in May, but for many years
this was a widely held belief in numerous
areas of the world.
In fact, the way the month of June be-
came the month of marriages, is connected
with the superstitution that May was the
month in which young people should not
marry. Therefore, when June came around,
backlog of youngsters had been created,
those who would have been married but re-
Trained from marriage in May and there
fore June produced a two-month crop of
marriages.
Because June is an accepted month of
marriages in the United States, however
and because so many graduations, both high
school and college, occur in late May or early
June, June is-for the merchant-a month
to sell gifts. In addition to marriages and
graduations, June is also the month in which
Fathers Day falls, and there, again. an
other bonanza for the storekeeper is Great
ed
We take this occasion to point out that
it is the spirit of giving, and the thought
behind the gift, which makes it valuable.
Today some are even enlarging upon the
gift idea concerning Fathers Day, and Mo
theirs Day, so that they can work in rela-
tives, cousins, etc.,-who should be giving
prQients to someone else's father or some
one else's mother, etc.
We are strongly opposed to this over
commercialiZation In fact, although we'd
ding gifts are wonderful thing for the
newly-married couple, especially if they
have any practical value, this, and the prac-
tice of graduation gifts, is often carried to
an extreme.
So, as the month for marriages APP
proaches, we will remind our readers that
it is the spirit Of the gift, and the thought,
which counts, and not the cost or, the ex-
pensiveness of any one gift.

HISTORY PROVIDES AN ANSWER

What immediate results can we expect
if the current proposal to increase the
federal minimum wage and to extend the
wage-hour law to millions Of additional
workers, largely engaged in retail indus
try, is enacted into law?
History can help provide an answer
The minimum wage was last raised in
1856 at a time when the economy was
expanding. Yet, according to the Labor
Department, this wage boost was follow
ed by Significant declines in employment
in most of the low-wage segments studied"
1t also said, Had the minimum wage in
crease become effective during a period
of recession, its adverse effects on employ
ment might have been much greater"
Today there is much concern over the
unemployment problem. Under these cir
cumstances, the Oppressive effects of "a
mother increase in the minimum wage
could be expected to be much more severe
than i'm 1856.
That is borne out by inquiries made
by the Chamber of Commerce of the Uni
ted States To take one example, a retail
chain estimates that the arbitrarily high
er wage would cause it to lay off up to
5000 of its more than 10000 employees
smaller hotel chain, with 1,400 en-
plOyeS, estimates that $50 would have to
be laid off.
The only alternative, obviously, would
be to pass the added wage costs along to
the consumer. In highly competitive era
such as this, that is not always possible
cuts in marginal employment would un-
doubtedly come first Them if added costs
were passed on, we'd be in for new
round of initiation. And the worst sufferers
would be people with small incomes.

Dear Friends:
Many of my childhood memories
center around the j. Postles Ham
mond house on Lakeview Avenue.
The Hammons, Srs. were close
friends of my parents, were and
are. Jim Hammond was my age,
Mildred was my sisters age and
Betty Hammond was my borther's
age-so it was quite natural for
US to be together quite a lot. AS a
child | was always at the Ham
mond's home and Aunt Esther"
couldn't have been lovelier to me.
Many hours | spent in her kitch-
en- under foot" but | remember
them as pleasant hours so appar-

This family has seemed like part
of mine and you can understand
how pleased / was Mothers Day
morning to answer my phone and
hear a voice on the other end of
the line tell me she was Betty
Hammond McCrillis. The Ed Mo
Crillis live in. Wichita, Kansas,
with their two daughters, Marilyn
and Joan. They have been there
ten years, while we have lived
here eight and this was the first
time we have been together jim
Kansas. The distance between our
two towns is $50 miles. Too bad
not to have been together more,
but on our day together Sunday
we all enjoyed and it was nice to
be with the McCrillis before our
departure from Kansas.
We owe much to Eric for get
ting us together on Mothers Day.
Eric happens to be the friendly,
healthy, contented, aristcratic
member of the family-as are all
the McCrillis, but Eric is their
prize Norwegian Elkhount. He is
a lovely dog and apparently the
judges at the Topeka Dog Show
thought so too because he return
ed to Wichita with four ribbons to

ray.

POLITICAL PROMISES LIKE
PIE CRUST

The petroleum industry has urged Con-
gress to make good on a 1859 promise
that the federal tax on gasoline will re-
vert to three cents on July /. Political
promises for tax reduction or economy are
like pie crust-easily broken. The drive is
already on to ignore the July / date for
ending the latest emergency" gas tax, and
further increasing it.
In the first four years of the new
highway program, the federal government
collected more than $14 billion in special
taxes from highway users.
The total tax on gasoline-state and
federal-is now equal to a sales tax of
AZ per cent of the retail price. No similarly
necessary product in the whole country is
taxed at a rate even approaching that.
From 1850 to the end of 1860 the
national average retail price of gasoline,
excluding tax, increased by only 1-2
per cent in 55 representative cities. In the
same period, the retail consumer price in
dex went up by nearly % per cent. In
the same period the national average tax
on a gallon of gasoline increased by So
per cent.
If the people calmly accept what a.
mounts to a so per cent tax on one nee
essity, how long will it be before the poll
ticians pick out another necessity for SIM
liar taxation by the emergency" dodge
which means permanent-witness the tele-
phone and transportation taxes some Is
years after the emergency ended.

A COUPLE OF CRUMBS

The situation in the wake of the Soviet
orbiting of a spaceman is one in which
any stray crumbs of comfort are at a
premium. But there are a couple, as some
newsmen were quick to point out after
the official Moscow announcement. One of
them is that our military intelligence
seems to have functioned perfectly, refus-
ing to be stampeded by the profusion of
rumOrs which preceded the announcement.
All through the hectic weller of mis-
information on that Tuesday, the 18th, our
observers stuck to their guns: Reports of
the flight were not substantiated by any
of our means of detection. That was true.
The launching did not occur until the
next day, US. time. So there was no
malfunctioning of our information service.
The second rather pleasant observation
lies in the field of politics. Coming as it
did so near the changing of administra-
tons in Washington, the Soviet triumph
provides little basis for either partisan
praise or condemnation.
If there really is any blame to be
pinpointed for our allowing the Reds to
beat us-and such has not yet been proved,
we all share it without regard to party.
That is as it should be. Politically inspired
recrimination has become luxury we can
no longer afford

The object of this suit is to
procure a divorce a vincuIo

Laurence Dale Hume.
The Bill of Complaint alleges
that the plaintiff is a resident
of Montgomery County, Mary
land, and that the defendant is
to the best of plaintiffs knowl.
edge and belief is a nonresident
of the State of Maryland, whose
last known address is that ap.
pearing in the caption hereof.
The Bill also alleges that al
though the conduct of the plain
tiff toward the defendant has
always been that of faithful.
affectionate, chaste and dutiful
wife, yet, nevertheless, the said
defendant without just cause or
excuse abandoned and deserted
the plaintiff on or about Feb
ruary Is, 1859, in Takoma Park.
Maryland, and such abandon
ment has continued uninter.
ruptedly for at least eighteen
months and is deliberate and
final, and the separation of the
parties is beyond any reasonable
expectation of reconciliation.
1t is, thereupon, this 18th day
of June, 1861, by the Circuit
Court for Montgomery County,
Maryland, sitting as a Court of
Equity,
ORDERED that the plaintiff,
