Do you know that Burgess. an

concensus of opinion among au-

that it is obtained from "burgher'
which means "toWnsman". and that
it was applied, When surnames
first came into vogue, to citizens
or frcemcn of borough who owed
special duties to the king and had
certain privileges.

Some Suggestions

Let's look at the distribution of
public largesse and if, far from
alleviating human misery, it is
producing the sloth and irrespon-
sibility that intensifies it, let's get
it fixed.
Let's quit being bulldozed and
bedazz'ed by self-appointed long
hairs. Let's have the CUTS to say
that book is dirt if that's what
we think of it, or that a painting
may well be a daub if you can't
figure out which way to hang it.
Let's blow the whistle on plays
that would bring bushes to an
American Legion stag party. Let's
not be aWed by movie characters
with barnyard morals even if some
of them have been photographed
climbing aboard the Presidential
yacht. Let us pay more attention
in our news columns to the decent
people who are trying to do some
thing for +he good of others
