YOUR "SERVANTS"

How much year do you spend on the
salaries of your servants?
Most of us, Of course, employ no ser
wants at all. But we're paying an ever-ris-
ing bill for special type of servant-the
public servant.
During the last fiscal year, reports Tax
Foundation, federal civilian payroll costs
reached an all-time high $136 billion, which
works out to $242 for each and every Amer
lean family. Per family cost in 1947, by
way of contrast, was only S134.
The annual cost of civilian agency pay
rolls rose 55 per cent from fiscal 1855 to
fiscal 1861, as against only 28 per cent for
civilians employed by the Department of
Defense.
1t would be interesting to see break
down showing the proportion Of these civil
ians who are busy spending our tax money
on welfare state projects of one kind or
another.

BUSINESS OF FARMING

That agriculture has become more like
a business and less like the old farm OF yore
is illustrated vividly through the effect the
federal income tax can have on the practice
of farming. Farmers have been told in
new booklet called "Thirty-Three Ways to
Save Income Tax Dollars" that there are
distinct advantages if they will look on their
operations as though they were business.
Every farm is, in a sense, factory.
Equipment and even stock can be consider
ed as capital assets eligible to receive spe-
cial treatment under income tax laws. Brood
sows, for example, may be entitled to spe-
cial tax status, and profits received from
their sale subject to straight capital gains
rates.. This can mean considerable dollar
saving to the farmer.
Using the same theory of business oper-
alton, farmer may hire his own children
who are under 19 years old, pay them reas-
enable wage and deduct this cost from farm
income as an operating expense. He will
then still be entitled to claim the 60O-dollar
exemption for the child as a dependent.
To urban dwellers these considerations
may appear as tax favoritism toward the
farmer as an individual. 1t is really not
that. Having become more and more a bus
mess, farming has a right to taxation as
such. No other industry is more vital to the
welfare and defense of the nation.

The Milford High School Buc
cancers, the preseason choice of
many to end up in the conference
basement, continue to lead the con-
ference and are now serious con-
tenders for the title. The Bucs
dumped Caesar Rodney by a 1888
count. On Friday, Laurel was a So
81 victim.
Coach Haithcock has parlayed a
tough defense, strong rebounding
and a ball control type of offense
to produce the victories. The Bucs
have yet to meet Georgetown and
undefeated Seaford in the fir t
round of play.
In the Caesar Rodney game
which was rather loosely played
contest, the Bucs control of the
boards and tight defense enabled
them to get by the Riders.

These have grown greatly during
the past few years since they have
been sponsored by many of the
best New York Stock Exchange
houses which send statesmen out
all over the country Before the
Mutual Funds became popular,
the stock exchange houses could
not afford to do this as their COM
missions were only a fraction of
one per cent. With Mutual Funds,
however, they are allowed COM
missions of around five per cent
These Funds now control $24, ,000,-

Meanwhile, labor unions, with

SENIOR HIGH ASSEMBLY
PROGRAMS
Two assembly programs were
presented to pupils in the Senior
High School the past week. The
first program was rather unique in
that it dealt with the construction,
history and playing of the Scottish
b agpipes. Mr.. Malcolm Davie
demonstrated the bagpipe and
played numerous selections on the
instrument.
The second assembly program
dealt with progress in science. The
program called 'Previews of Pro-
gress" is sponsored by General
Motors Corporation. Mr.. Wander
water of Detroit, Michigan was the
lecturer, and he amazed the stu
dent body by his talk and demon
strationS on synthetic rubber, foam
rubber, jet propulsion, steam tur-
bines and horoscopes. He demon
strated with model cars the use of
solar energy in providing useful,
harnessed energy. One of the main
purposes of the program was to
stimulate interest in science.

FREE FOOD-AND CADILLACS

Americans are tradltlonally charitable
people, They want to help, and do help, the
needy amongst us. To take current ex-
ample, the governments project of distrl-
buting free food to those in want-which
has, as corollary, the reduction of agri-
cultural surpluses-undoubtedl has power
full public support
But the best of plans and intentions can
be abused. A short time ago, Life maga-
zine reported: "For the 1,401 u. S. coun-
ties now receiving free groceries, the $11O:2
million cost in 1961s first half is nearly
quadruple the 1922 million in the same
period last year. 1t has also vastly increas-
ed the popularity of free groceries. Since
January the number of people getting them
has risen from Al to 62 million Recipl-
ents have included a New York City man
who carried his bags away in taxicab and
some folks in Jefferson County, Texas, who
took them away in an air-conditioned Cad
lilac. -"
There must be much tougher administra-
tion of plans such as these, in order to sep
arate the genuine needy from the cheap
chiseler The said fact is that any welfare
state program, whether it be wise or fool
ish, essential or just politically-oriented,
brings out the worst in a great many peo-

TIGHTEN THE BELT

A United States Chamber of Commerce
spokesman has issued an optimistic fore
cast for the year Of 1862. The forecast is
tempered, as economic predictions often
are, with warning. DR.. Emerson P.
Schmidt the Chambers research director,
predicts that 1862 will bring "new levels
of output, employment and profits" He also
foresees the less rosy prospect of a steel
price rise and possible dollar crisis. Con-
tinued deficit spending, he further states,
can aggravate this problem. No American
wants the government to curtail any expense
necessary to the nations security time
like this. But not all our money goes for
defense; much of it goes for services, some
of which might be curtailed without severe
loss. Many Americans, ready to task not
what their country can do for them but
what they can do for their country would
gladly undergo little belt-tightening rather
then see our national solvency threatened.

union spokesman. However,
no flights were scheduled for
that period and no pickets ap-
peared.
The pact is for Is months
and covers $500 pilots whose
average pay was $4,000 a
year and will be brought up to
$lS,360 under the new scale.
The contract calls for 5 per
cent retroactive pay increase
from November %, 1861, and
an additional 3 per cent for
the seven months from Novem-
ber 20. 1861, to July /, 1862.
The pay rate will continue at
8 per cent above present scales
until the agreement expires
November 6, 1868.
The airline and union had
agreed to postpone until June

versy on cockpit crews. Trans
World has demanded that the
crew on long-range jet aircraft
be cut from four to three men.
The new agreement also gives
the pilots additional benefits
in the form Of improved vaca-
tions, sick leave, insurance and
