The Potomac Hunt Kennels
buzzed last Wednesday when
over 100 women responded to
the Ladies Committees invita-
ton to tea and crumpets. Poto-
mac matrons were given the
opportunity to meet new neigh

phere created by a floor to cell
ing, gaily, decorated, tree. Pine
and holly bedecked the two
mantels, under which rearing
fires cracked.
The tea table, laden with
home made delicacies, was the
center of attraction. Mrs. Will

presided over the tea service,
while Mrs. August Kramm, the
Ladies Committee chairman,
poured coffee.

McKean's Letter Draws
Violent Protest

Editor, The Peoples Voice:
For some time now the people of
McCone county have listened to the
irrational TRADES of Hobart Mexican.
This time he has really gone off the
deep end.
1t is beyond comprehension how any,
one who seems to be dissatisfied
with, and opposed to, our form of gov
eminent can continue to live here and
enjoy it's benefits and blessings.
| would be willing to start a door-to-
door campaign to raise funds for a
one-way ticket to some far-off land.
However, I don't suppose Hobart would
be interested. In view of the fact that
it is his opinion that it is inevitable
that the Socialist World (??) shall beat
us on every front, L suppose he and
Jim Murray will want to be here to
greet them when they come that last
80 miles.

Origin OF the Income Tax

The first income tax, in the mod
ern sense was imposed in Great
Britain by William Pitt in 1899 to
help pay for the Napoleonic wars. 1t
was abolished after the Peace of
Amiens in 1902, reimposed when the
war with France broke out again the
following year, and again abolished
after Waterloo. In 1912, the British
government once more adopted an
income tax and has kept it ever since.
The first American income tax was
levied during the Civil War. 1t was
eliminated in 1872 and not taken up
again until the 18th Amendment to
the Constitution was passed in 1913.

We Threw Cuba Into
Khrushchev's Lap

Editor The Peoples Voice:
We asked for the Cuban crisis at
Punta del Estes, where our State De-
! partment, led by Dean Rusk, negoti-
ated with considerable opposition at
first, but finally won sufficient sup
port from the Latin American States
to vote Castro and Cuba out from the
Organization of American States. Here
we pulled 'fboner", which is incon-
sistent with our former good neigh
Dor policy of a previous Democratic
Administration, and which will no
doubt plague us for generations to
come. This will eventually split the
Western Hemisphere's Latin American
similarly to the bad situation now
existing in Europe.
By cutting Cuba off from formerly
friendly trade relations with the rest
of it's Latin American neighbors, and
our own stubborn refusal to purchase
Cuban sugar, we practically threw
Cuba and Castro right into the lap OF
Khrushchev, as where else could Cuba
turn for trade and support? We prac-
tically handed KhruShchev a free pass
to enter Cuba with his thousands of
rocket experts, and set up the nuclear
missile complex threat to our security,
and right here on our own doorstep;
all this right under the watchful eyes
of the United Nations, and our own
Secret Intelligence Services, and in
spite of the fact that we have a very
strategic naval base at Guantanamo
Bay on Cuban SOIL How inefficient
and nonsensical can our State Depart
ment be? Sincerely yours-CHESTER

Feed Grain Supplies
Down 10 Million Tons

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(NFU)-
The Department of Agriculture re
leased a report last week showing
that total government-held supplies
of feed grain have declined 10 mil
lion tons from the record supply of
1960-61.
The reduction came from the 1870
decrease in feed grain acreage dur
ing the 1961-62 period over the level
planted in 1959-60.
The 1862 crop was slightly smaller
than that of year earlier and SINH
lar decreases are expected for the
1868 crop. The 1861 cut resulted in
a situation where, for the first time
in 10 years, production fell below
utilization.

Recalls Advice Given
By A Great Lady
BY BARBARA HAUGE, Turner

Eleanor Roosevelt was sponsor
and guest lecturer at the 1916 Encamp-
ment for Citizenship which I ATTENDED
in New York City. I was deeply i'm
pressed by her gracious kindness and
practical common sense. She had a
genuine interest-in and concern-for all
of humanity.
During the dark days of the Eisen-
hower-Benson farm administration, /
wrote to Mrs. Roosevelt telling her
how it feels to be ridiculed for growing
food in abundance and to be despised
because we are American farmers. Then
asked if we should migrate to an
other nation where our ability to pro-
duce food and fiber from the earth
would be needed and respected 1 asked
about Russia.
This is Mrs. Roosevelt's reply:
Dear Mrs. Hauge:
'T don't think you would enjoy going
to Russia. Before going I suggest that
you make a careful study of what it
would mean. No one who has known
freedom would find it possible to live
for any length of time in a country
where there is no freedom.
work for a change in our farm poll
oy in your own community. 1 have
been trying to get a change for long
time. Our possibilities for food produc
ton are one of the great assets of our
country, and the people who produce
the food are among our most important
citizens. You should be aware of your
sense of value to the whole world if
we used our farm products wisely.
81 would like to see us revamp our
production. in a way that would not
hurt our land but which would enable
us to fulfill some of the worlds needs.
L know that this would mean co-opera-
tion with international organizations
such as FAC and a study of distribu-
tion which we have always been too
lazy to make.
eff you begin to get those arouni
you willing to tackle the question,
those of us who are trying to promote
the change will feel we have a grass
roots movement being worked out,
which is very important.
Don't get discouraged You are
very important.

that things will seem brighter to you.

elected group within the state gov
eminent to be responsible for pre-
senting changes in our laws to the
Legislature. Not that their legislation
should receive any more considera-
ton that that introduced by the in
dividual solon but the re-occurring
themes can be helped by the refine
ments of the interim study.
The reports of the Council num-
bered and 8, are in that very sterile
ground which considers the state gov
eminent only tax burden and inter
ference with the normal flow of peo-
pie and money. Thus the two reports
demanded assignments by the 37th
session-are doomed to relegation to
the shelves the same as the 1941
Griffinhagen report which gathers
dust along with many other studies
of this nature. They deserve the dust
and ashes in their hair for they are
only admissions of ineffectuality.
They reflect only those periods when
the government has been out of step
with the people and the government
adorns itself in sack cloth and ashes
to wiring sympathy from those it is
supposed to govern.
Number 8, the fiscal control la
ment, suggests that after we have
done away with the elected Auditor
that we have counterpart to the
Council in a committee
of post-auditing doing a duplication
of the financial reports of all the
state departments. guess this is on
the theory that if everybody agrees
that the money has been spent no
body has right to question the fact,
after this (sic) great task has been
accomplished.
Number 7, the big 'Little Hitler"
program, slashes up the Constitution
and as cumbersome as that old "mas-
ter plan" may seem it more certainly
applies to the desires of our people
than the whims of our Governors.
In Number we would be able to

because the floors are in such condi-
