The Good Society

What is The Good Society? Many a
profound book has been written in seek
ing to answer that question, many more
will roll from the presses as the years
spin by.
But it can be answered, in essence,
in very brief and simple terms. 1t is a
society in which each individual has the
inalienable right to choose his path in
life within framework of equitable
laws designed to prevent him from en-
croaching upon this same right in 9TH
ers. No law can make men equai-but
law can guarantee equality of opportun-

Food Market

Beef continues to lead the
parade Of meat values at most
market places. Best buys will
vary according to the store, but
steaks, roasts, and other cuts
(also ground beef are on spe-
ctal sale during the week as well
as during the weekend. There are
nice selections Of lamb at rea-
sonable prices and many attrac-
tive offers on some pork cuts.
Chicken has been SO plentiful
that 1t Is anticipated we will use
80 pounds per capita this year;
that is up 2 pounds from 1862.
Turkey supplies are expected to
be above the large amounts of a
year ago. This abundance shows
up now in really low prices paid
for top quality turkey.
Franks and cold cuts are par
ttcularly popular this time Of
year, and prices are reasonable.
There is also a wide variety of
canned meats to help the busy
cook steaks In gravy, meat
stews, chill con carne, ham,
spaghetti meat dishes, and corn
ed beef hash are a few that are
available In most local stores.
Many Of these can be served as

income. This can be fairly classed as
fiscal immortality.
It is also argued that the loss from
this would be minimized by the fact
that state taxes are a credit against
the federal tax. So, if person paid a
larger state tax, his federal tax would
be reduced. That's about as phony an
argument as one could drum up. It
doesn't take Merlin to anticipate what
will happen if state laws result in sub
stantial decreases in federal tax reve-
nue.. The federal government will drop
the state taxes as credits.
Juggling the tax laws does no one
any good. What counts is what is TAX

they come from the can; others
have more taste appeal when
heated.
A wide variety Of summer
vegetables Is available now.
Leaders among these include
snap beans, squash, corn, celery,
cabbage, carrots, and cucum-
bers. Many stores are featuring
locally grown tomatoes and
prices are beginning to edge down
bit. The long draught has caus-
ed the quality to vary, but for the
most part, these tomatoes are
much more delicious then those
we have been using.
Fruit counters are filled with
many fruits both in season and
out of season. Beautiful straw
berries are being shipped In from
California and prices are quite
reasonable. The peak Of the sea-
son for blueberries has passed,
but good buys can still be found
on this fruit. Oranges, lemons,
lines, plums, nectarines, peach
es, and cantaloupes are all high
quality this week and are selling
at fair prices. Seedless grapes,
bananas, pineapples, and green
apples are also good buys.
This is the month when sand
wiches reign, in fact, August is
Sandwich Month, so let variety
be the rule. Sandwiches may be
served hot or cold, open faced
or closed, or even triple decker.
It may be thick and hearty, or
slim and elegant. Every kind Of
bread may well be used and many
vegetables and all meats make
excellent filings.

Prices Of dairy products gen.
orally are closely related to the
milk flow, which reaches its
seasonal high about June. II you
are interested in storing dairy
products, the best buys In butter
can normally be expected In
June or July. Cheese buying op-
portunities are delayed because
Of the long curing period;
November seems about the best
time for this commodity.
FUELS AND MISCELLANEOUS
ITEMS
In fuels, seasonal factors also
play an important part In terms
of prices. II you are heating
with coal, you will save money
by taking advantage of summer
reductions. Heating oils and
kerosene are usually cheapest
during the summer because Of
mounting refiners' stocks, low
demand, and intensive competi-
tion. Gasoline prices generally
dip lowest in mid-winter.
Jot down the best seasonal
buying time for a few other
items: Canned peas, June;
canned corn, July; canned
tomatoes, August; canned SAL
mon, usually August and Sept;
dry beans, November and Dec;
potatoes, late fall; rice and
flour, August or September;
lard, December; citrus fruits,
January or early February;
furniture, during Feb. sales;
furs. August; and soft goods, at
January "white sales." But
most important Of all: Study the
advertisements In your local
newspapers. I wish every high
school would have a compulsory
course on "Studying Newspaper
Ads"

end of their bodies beneath a leaf

Beetles emerge in about 10 days

In Barron's words, "His radicalism
proved a shock to Britons. What pri-
vate U. S. railroads have been doing
over the past Is years, the national
lied system now seeks to do in less
than half the time. It's wasteful lag

This situation applies to just one in

common in just about any enterprise

An Old Story

Hard experience, here and abroad,
proves that the worst possible way to
deal with an economic problem, or to
provide nation with necessary goods
and services, is naturalization of COM
mercial enterprise.
Take, as an example, Britain's ma
tionalized railroads. Barron's magazine
tells the current story. These railroads
have been losing at the rate of $500
million a year, and it has been decided
that the strained British economy just
can't afford it much longer. So their
director plans to cut heavily into the
deficit, by eliminating improbable pas
senger service, abandoning 5000 miles.

Not In American Tradition

Senator Barry Goldwater, in one of
his recent newspaper columns, COM
plains, with justice, about the vast dis
parity in the staffs provided for the
Democratic majority and the Repub-
lican minority in Congress.
In his words, "The business Of legis-
lating is amazingly complex, reaching
as it does into every possible phase of
American life. Some subjects could
occupy the entire time of intelligent
legislators to the exclusion of every
thing else" So Senators and Represen-
tatiyes must depend heavily on top
flight staffs for advise, information and
gui ielines.

A Phony Juggling Act

Taxpayers who may be keeping
wary eye on the federal government,
to the exclusion Of state and local gov
ernments, are making a grave and ex-
pensive mistake. For, government, at
the under-federal level is showing
wolf-like appetite for more revenue.
Take for instance, a situation in Or
egon, which is more or less typical.
One big element in proposed new tax
ing program is the elimination of fed
eral income tax payments as a credit
against the state income tax.
1t is argued that many other states
do that now-which is to argue that
number of other wrongs add up to
right. All taxpayers would be paying
tax upon tax, which is no longer

Bubson Discusses:
BUYING HOUSEHOLD NEEDS

Babson Park, Mass. Not for
quite a long time have / dis
cussed the best time Of year
to buy foods, fuels, and other
b Gus ehold necessities. Yet,
there is a best time to buy each
item, and you may save con-
siderable money If you know
when it is, particularly II you
are responsible for a large,
healthy family.
IMPORTANCE OF FREEZING
UNITS
The biggest part Of the family
budget goes for food, so that
should get the most attention.
Food expenditures for the aver
age family heavily emphasize
meat. OF course, you cannot get
really big savings unless you
have a freezer Of considerable
capacity, so ! heartily recon-
mend your buying one II you
have not yet done so. Otherwise,
you can rent a unit In a public
freezing storehouse, although
that is not so cheap in the long
run nor so convenient as 1t is
to have your own. An emergency
generator is probably a good
idea, too, to protect your food in
the event Of a public power fail
ure.
First, let us take a look at
seasonal trends in meat and
poultry prices. The best time
to buy Is usually during Novem-
ber and December when market
ings Of hogs, cattle, and
chickens are seasonally very
heavy. The big influx Of sup
plies at this time forces price
concessions at retail counters.
However, Ii you want the finest
grades Of heavy steer beef, I
advise you to wait until late

1t is, above all, society in which in
dividual freedom is limited by, and only
by, the right of a people as whole to
maintain, secure and protect itself.
1t is society which fully recognizes
the Jeffersonian maxim that govern
ment is best which governs least.
Freedom without fear; strength
without coercion; pride without AFRO

worth of nan, not only in the mass but
in the one-these are marks of The

Dear Friends:

Dear Friends:
Nine days. vacation isn't much
time to do everything one wants
to do, but 1t honest and truly
was the incest vacation we have
ever had. We really loafed and
did just what we wished to do
for those few days.
Should not admit this to any
one, but really believe / cooked
only two breakfasts and one
lunch during our stay at home.
We ate seafood in Lewes, Re-
hoboth, ocean City, Wilmington,
and Philadelphia. We had French
fries on the boardwalk, sand
wiches at drug stores, and
submarines" at drive-ins.
really had a vacationl
One Of our most pleasant days
was spent in Ocean City, Mary
land. We had not been there for
years and we left early one
morning and we were there for
about 6 or z hours. Three Of
those hours were spent at
Frontier Town. II you have a
young girl or boy in your family
you, too, should take this drive
and go to the imaginary city Of
the cowboys. Our 4-1/2 year old
Leslie never has stopped talk
ing about the paddle boat ride,
the train ride, the Indians, the
saloon Ghey serve root beer
in mugs), the rodeo, and
especially the stagecoach ride.

luctantly showed 1t to him. He
said 1t was ugly and had no use
for 1t. With our hands all up In
the air, as per instructions, he
noticed my diamond ring. He
wanted closer look and when
showed 1t to him he told us 1t
looked like Glass and Brass to
him. He played his part to per-
fection and made our trip worth
while. Prior to this year each
ride at Frontier Town was
priced individually. Now you pay
one nominal admission price and
everything is already paid for.
Our three daughters have
never seen the Liberty Bell and
this was a disgrace, I thought,
since our home state was only
one state away from Pennsyl-
vania. Last Thur sday we headed
for independence Square In
Philly. I knew they were re-
constructing the area, but had
no idea 1t was still In progress.
The room where the Declara-
tion Of Independence was signed,
at this point In the restor alton,
is still just a shell and was
disappointed in having the chill
dren see 1t this way. Naturally,
the Liberty Bell was there and
they did see and touch 1t. We
stayed overnight In "Philly" and

she has only been registered.
We are Methodist, but this
school seems to be one Of the
better ones and In order for
Leslie to get In 1t 1t was neces-
sary to get her name on the

The next step is to have a psy-

winter or even early spring.
The best cuts can usually be
bought then at the lowest prices.
WATCH FOR "WHOLESALE"
PRICES
In the past few years there
has been an increase in "dis-
count outlets" where you can
buy meat and poultry at any
time of the year considerably
below the retail level. Prac-
tically every large city or COM
munity has at least one such
dealer. Cuts Of pork, lamb, and
beef are packaged in marked
plastic containers so that you
can easily see what you have
in your freezer. Poultry sec
tions can also be bought pack
aged separ ately, and they are
clearly labeled.
Along with the sale Of freez-
ing units today, there are often
food-buying programs that will
arrange to keep your freezer
stocked at prices we'll below
the prevailing retail rate. Some
of these systems are genuine
cost-savers, especially If your
family is large; but be careful
not to get tied up with a fly-by-
night outfit II you go in for such
a program. Personally, under
most conditions I would prefer
to do my own buying, taking ad-
vantage Of seasonal bargains.
DAIRY PRODUCTS
AND EGGS
The heaviest laying season for
hens is still March, April, and
May. This means that egg prices
are at their seasonal low point
usually during the spring. Read
ers should also note that spring
eggs are the most successfully
stored.

Egan Throws Cold Water On Sen. Barry Goldwater

FAIRBANKS R Gov. William A. Egan, speaking here Wednes- day night before local Democrats, tossed cold water on Arizona Sen. Barry GoldWater.
 Goldwater is leading "an ex- tremist movement" the Alaskan governor claimed.
 Egan, however, thought PreSl- dent Kennedy opposed by the Arl- zona senator in the 1864 presi- dential race would be good for the country.
 "I think the time has come for America to have opportunity of choice between common sense, responsible liberalism a nd un- yielding ultra conservatism" de- clared Egan.
 Egan also took a strong stand on civil rights and expressed his faith in Alaska's future-stressing oil-plus the ferry system and the Rampant Dam project.
 ''The American negro has de- cided that he can compromise him. self no longer" the state official said.
 Rather than a problem he added, II think this is a time for great national rejoicing. One tenth of our population is about to be given it's freedom .''
 He said he favors the nuclear test ban treaty negotiated by the US, Russia and Britain.
