The American Way
WHAT is AMERlCANlSM
By Harry Browne


! One word explains how the peo-
pie of America came to, acquire
half of the worlds great wealth on
their small section of the planet.
That word is freedom.
The history of the human race
is a history of governments telling
their subjects how to live their
lives. Once reform movement
Gusts a dictator, the temptation to
abuse the newly-won power gener-
ally turns the reform movement
into another dictatorship, until it
in turn is replaced by still another.
Our founding fathers recognized
all this and determined to protect
the GOd-given rights of life, liber-
ty. and the pursuit of happiness. "
They searched for a method by
which government could have the
means to protect us against foreign
enemies, and yet not have the
means to enslave us.
Government Is Force
Washington summed it up by
saying: Government is not reason,
it is not eloquence-it is force!
Like fire, it is dangerous servant
and a fearful master"
jefferson expressed it: That
government is best with governs
least" He also pointed out: When
government advances, liberty gives
way"
And they actually found way
to give government the powers to
protect lives and property, but re-
strained it from interfering with
the economic and political affairs
of its citizens.
They did it by a Constitution
that placed iron-clad restrictions
on the powers of government. And
they enforced those restrictions by
i the most elaborate check-and-bal-
ance system ever discriminating
it virtually impossible for one ele-
ment in the government to gain
control of the whole system.
Freedom From Government
Through this amazing plan, the
! founding fathers actually created
the thing that man had dreamed
about for thousands of years-the
J most precious commodity in the
! world-freedom from government.
Not Just freedom from Moscow, or
Berlin. or London-but freedom as
we'll from those who would enslave
us from Washington For the first
time in history, man could live his
daily life unafraid that he might
be taken from his family by the ar
4; bitrary within of a dictatorial gov
eminent.
Americanism is described in
many ways-as the freedom to
vote, or the right to work, or love
of country But none of these things
! are the cause of our blessings
and none have been exclusively
I ours. The one factor that produced
our great wealth, and every other
treasure we hold dear, was free
dom from government.
Need For Restoration
We have certainly forsaken that
heritage. We need desperately to
become reacquainted with it, and to

State Tax Remains Same

The Board of Public Works has
decided to keep the Maryland State
property tax at 10 cents for 1868.
The board, meeting Tuesday, also
granted! salary increases ranging
from $500 to $4,000 to clerks of
courts and registrars of wills in all
Maryland counties. The raises be-
come effective December 8.
Locally the salary increase will
affect Richard L. Davis, clerk of
the Circuit court and Mrs. Vernie
r. Smouse, register of wills. Davis,
currently receiving $4,000, will re-
ceive $4,000. Mrs. Smouse, current
ly receiving S5,400, will receive
$1,000.
The board failed to resolve legal
and fiscal problems arising out of
possible damage claims against the
Federal government by the oyster
growers. The claims could stem
from projects in the Pocomoke
Sound and Wicomico river.

Test Shows Harmful
Bacteria On Fabrics

Harmful bacteria on clothing and
household fabrics can survive home
laundering and remain alive on
the fabrics for days or weeks, the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
says. But Department researchers
find that disinfectants suitable for
use in laundering may help home
makers eliminate this hazard to
family health
Bacteria found were Staphyloc-
coccus aureus, cause of carbun-
cles, kidney infections, pneumonia,
and other infections; Escherichia
coli, the common intestinal bac-
terium; and MYcobacterium bu-
tyricum, similar to the bacterium
that causes tuberculosis. The fabrics
used were acetate tricOt, cotton
sheeting, and wool blanketing.
Either of two types of disinfect-
ants, added to the wash water,
successfully removed most of the
bacteria from fabrics Numbered
in warm water
These disinfectants are known
chemically as phenoIic and quar-
ternary compounds. Both types are
beginning to appear in retail stores
under various trade names
Example of the quaternary dis
infectants are:
Coop Sanitizer (Greenbelt Con-
sumner Services, Beltsville, Md
Available at all consumer co-ops
and will ship anywhere
Roccal CSterwin Chemicals, New
York, n. " Available in janitor,
dairy and poultry supply houses.
Examples of the phenolic disin-
fectantS are:
Pine-Sol Ceither with Tor with
out) pine-oil SCENT. Dunes Miner
Co., Jackson, Miss Available in
grocery stores, nationwide. Use l
cup-nOt p cup as directed.
1t is expected that more such
disinfectants will be available on
grocery store shelves in the near
future.

Let us weigh every proposal, ey-

vital ingredient: will it increase or
decrease government? Whether the
purpose is to fight COM

question be the yardstick In this
way, we will stay within the boun-

on girls, too. I don't like
heels because I don't like the
clacking noise they make"
Noise evidently has a large
part in Rogers feelings about
what he likes girls to wear.
He prefers just a ring or
earrings, no necklaces or
bracelets because of the
"clink and clatter" of too
much jewelry, he says.
Roger would rather see a

than with a hat on her and
he likes his females in short
skirts and a blouse. Just so
they're not in too out-landish
a garb," Roger says.
AS for boys attire, this
junior says he has a short

opposed to the popular loaf
ers. And like most Of the
boys, he likes either a plain
white shirt or q blue pin
stripe one If worn with jack
cts; otherwise, he dominates
plaid shirts for wearing. Cuff
links are too much bother for
this 16-year-old, and he pre-
fers a belt instead Of beltless
trousers. Lots Of times the
snap breaks off or comes
loose on those beltless kind"
he says.
Mike is big for the white
sock bit. There's no chance
Of sock dye coming off on
your feet" says this varsity
basketball player.
White socks for boys here
are something that 14-year-
old Mary Person heard about
in Sweden before she came to
Falls Church High this year
and she doesn't like them.
They don't blend and they
stand out So" says this ninth
grader.
Since she has Just spent
four years In Sweden, Mary
naturally is busy comparing
teen-agers' dress here with
teen-agers' dress in that
Scandinavian country.
They care more in Swe-
den," Mary says. Teen
ayers there are very clothes
conscious" Mary is obviously
missing the styles Of Swe-
den, where, she says, boys
wear very high starched,
rounded collars, argyle socks,
narrow gray flannel or black
and white checkered trousers
with pleats and very expen-
sive shoes from England"
The shoes are plain dark
brown with thick gum-soles.
One popular thing in Swe-
den, though, is wearing sweat
shirts with different Ameri-
can college emblems on them.
And often we wore blue
jeans and sweat shirts to
school," she says. Its cold,
so girls are allowed to wear
Stacks to classes"
But here, Mary is leaning
toward the slim continental
look for boys and wool suits
for girls.
Marty VICAR, selected best
dressed girl in November,
pleads with boys to leave the
dizzy ties with a whole lot
of things on them off their
necks and to keep their shirt
sleeves down. Nor does she
like unbottoned shirts on
boys-or sloppy shoes.
"Ooooh, how I hate that,
the real old dusty kind where
the boys feet have squooshed
down and over the back. +"
says this 16-year-old Junior.
No tight Italian pants for
Marty. either.
AS for the pointed Italian
shoes, Marty says the boys

I like tight sweaters on girls
or colored stockings"
Arnie wishes more girls
would wear dresses to school
because II see skirts and
blouses all the time, and the
novelty has gone." he says.
Arnie has his reasons, too,
for not wanting to see a girl
wearing earrings. 1T gives
her too much sophistication."
He thinks girls look better,
too, in plain-colored flats
rather than moccaSins or
heels for school.
II was a Whittier Inter-
mediate last year." says this
ninth-grader, but I noticed
that at Falls Church High
girls dress more tastefully.
