THE GOLDEN YEARS
1 Thinking Of q Farm
! As Haven After IS?

Neighbors may be half q mile
away. There are few pas
sers-by. And the old friends
back in town If you
draw them the finest maps
showing how to find your
home and serve them an
chovies and Scotch-just
don't find time to drive out
for visits,
o Doctors are a bit hard
to come by when you're in
need Of a house call. So are
oxygen tanks for heart at
tacks. And ambulances.
o There Is a violence. to life
In the country, and q subur-
banite may find it shocking
at first. There are animals
that fight. People, too. There
is crime.
Q AS age comes on neither
the man nor the vile would
be inclined to leave the other
alone on the farm for an
evening.
THE PROS: s
. The suburbanite moving
to a farm to rehabilitate it
is tackling one Of the grand
adventures Of q mature life.
1t is simply fun to rebuild,
refurnish. and make q home
out Of q shack.
Q It's fashionable. ..
o The taxes Of the modern
suburb are frightful and
getting more SO. The cost Of
living creeps on up. An eco
nomical farm Is Q way out.
o Demands on the check
book are drastically reduced
in moving from the suburbs
to a farm: Charity dona-
tons, public causes, enter
tanning, clothes-all are less.
With a garden, food Is less.
There's no law against hav-
ing a COW, If you can milk 1t.
0 Your nearest neighbor
may be over q hill and
through the hollow, but he'll
be a warmer neighbor than
the next-door family In Sub
urbia. And help you more.
o A retired life In q rural
setting has rare charm. It
will inspire a couple to make
something worthwhile Of their
leisure years.
So try it. Rent out don't
sell - the suburban house.
Buy the little farm with q
mortgage, and pay the mort
gage with the rent money.
And keep handy the road
map back to town-for use
about 1866, maybe.

BY THOMAS COLLINS

I'VE live in one Of the
new suburbs that sprouted
in the late 1905. and we're
set for retirement on July
1-of this year.
1--WE think we viii have
sufficient retirement income
to see us through safely in
cur suburban home. which
Is, now paid for. But we
aren't sure. A new high
school has just been APP
proved for the town. A sys-
tenn Of storm sewers is being
installed, and there Is talk
of q hospital.
Taxes, which have gone UP
frightfully since 1913, are
certainly going higher. With
more houses and more babies
popping UP all the time, will
the increasing costs Of living
in our suburb finally catch
up with our pension, and
leave US destitute old folks
n our 70s?
There is q charming little
26-acre farm with a shack
on 1t about IA miles out of
town. We can buy 1t for Just
half the money we can get
for our home. Taxes, and the
future threat of taxes, would
be virtually nothing on the
farm, and we could spend
the leisure of our retirement
in the enjoyable project Of
turning the shack into q
home. $40
Would you tell US the pros
and cons of such q move?"
In such manner the long
time dream Of a little retire.
ment place In the country
continues to reappear among
65-year-old people.
Here, as I have seen them
over the last five years, are
the main pros and cons Of
the matter:
THE CONS:
There is no Santa Claus
on RID. What you don't pay
for in taxes you don't get

the house catches fire, a po-

cnstomed to can vanish II
miles out Of town: Milkmen,
Electricians, supermarkets. re-
pairmen for the refrigerator
and washer. and neighbor
boys to NOW the lawn.
, Loneliness in possibly its
most acute form often comes
to- the retired couple sitting
in an isolated farm home.

DO we attach too much
significance to grades2
often I'm asked Shouldn't
major emphasis be on learn
ing, rather than grades7"
Well. true learning is a
difficult thing TO measure.
but since some measure of
success In school Is essential.
grades seem to be the best
answer we have come up with
so far.
For one thing. teachers are
forced" to give some atten-
ton TO every child In the
class by the very fact that
grades ultimately must be
assigned.
Measure Of Learning
OF course grades can be q
measure Of learning. I at
tempt to make students see
the easiest way TO get q high
grade In q course Is TO learn
and understand the subject
material.
Progressive organization of
knowledge (true learning)
makes further learning In the
same field possible. This
organization forms the best
preparation for taking ex-
aminations and therefore is
the best route to better
grades in the course.
Good grades depend on
reading, listening and or
ganization Of knowledge. Just
because high grades require
something more from you Is
no argument against their
Importance. Here are some
specific skills involved:
. The ability to read. un-
derstand and follow direc-
tons. (Once established, this
process becomes q habit es-
sential for promotion on
many jobs)
Q Skill In taking tests. Can

. Getting along with teach
ers. cooperation and APP
pearance. (These are assets
in any field Of endeavor)
Improving all these skills,
which are the elements upon
which you are graded. is
preparation for q successful
life.

Thinks Lincoln Would
Be Uncomfortable In

Todoy's Republican Porfy
Editor: Your story in the Feb.
% issue on the White House cele-
bration Of the Emancipation Pro-
clamation committed the same Of
Tense that the Republican press
was guilty of. TIME magazine,
Richard Wilson Of the Cowles
newspapers, and other devoted re-
dictionaries, expressed the feeling
that the Kennedys were guilty of
trespass on the sacred ground Of
Republican hot airators. Your
story expressed the idea that the
President had pulled a fast one on
the Republicans in honoring the
memory Of the first Republican
President.
I do not agree. Lincoln belongs
to America, not the Republican
party. In fact, the Republicans
have largely deserted the positions
that Lincoln fought for, including
the freeing of the slaves and in
tegrating them as free men in a
society of free man. Where are
they, for example, when a civil
rights issue comes up? Where are
they when it comes to liberalizing
the law-mal1ing machinery by re-
ducing the power Of the Dixiecrats
to block legislation?

Taxes, Here And
Elsewhere

Informed and sophisticated citizens have al
ways recognized as propaganda the proposition that
Minnesota tax policies, by comparison with those
of other states, discourage business and industry
Much of the time the propaganda has seemed from
80 to 100 per cent phony, especially when it has
been used to promote sales taxes.
Recently we got an insight into the phoniness
of this line of talk from that can hardly be
said to be prejudiced the liberal side of the tax
argument.
TINES March issue presents a roundup of
states that in deep fiscal trouble Of the nine
states listed, at least five have general sales
taxes ranging from relatively modest one in Ohio
to a vciously oppressive one in Illinois. The sales
tax nevertheless, has failed to these states
from financial trouble. Ohio, reports TINE, has
fired $500 employees and ordered a 81 per cent
cutback in state spending (Which means, of course
state servces"). It has made advance collections
of corporation taxes and Is using $40 millions Of
creditors money by delaying payments on state
liquor dispensary purchases.
Tennessee's sales tax has proved insufficient
and that state is now talking about extending the
sales tax to electricity (ths WILL Of course, extend
the favorable tax climate" that phony friends
like to talk about to the industrial of power)
Illinois, taxing its citizens 35 and PEI
cent on their purchases needs 5000 million more
and Is talling-of all things-about an income tax!
New Mexico has found the per cent sales tax in
adequate and has considered, such devices taxing
Christmas trees.
The picture is not all black, however. We think
the most instructive thing Is what happened ir
North Carolina. There the state imposed sales taa
on food. The revenues large that the state
preparing to return part Of them to the taxpayers
Not, however, to the sales-taxpayers who produced
the revenue To- the tax relief II any will go to the
income-taxpayers!
This helps to illustrate what the sales tax people
driving at.
