farce was over before they were settled
in their seats.
The ballyhoo now goes out for a
match between Liston and Cassius Clay,
but the garrulous Louisville youth does
not belong in the same ring with Liston
and won't until he gains more expert
ence. If he lacks the patience to work

Another early breakfast time
found us In the Great Smokes,
near Ashville, North Carolina.
After riding for a while In the
fresh morning air, We stopped
at small eating place along a
mountain road. We took our cof-
fee and doughnuts outside while
we watched the incre dtble
"smoke" (Which Of course Is
really misty blow around the tops
of the high mountains. Suddenly
our quiet, reverent spell was
broken by the noise from sgroup
Of mountain folk coming down the
side of the mountain with q
small cart and a crowd Of young
Sters Of all ages. One young boy,
presumably around eleven, who
seemed to be tagging behind,
was being beaten, and I mean
beaten, by one of the women.
The others kept telling her to
stop but she would not. They
drove off and the last I could
see was that bedraggled child
being hit about the head and face.
It just ruined my day. l prayed
number of small but earnest
prayers for him as we rode
along the winding roads.

that they are wooded. Did you
ever stop to think how many
shades Of green there are7 How
beautifully Nature has combin-

the plight of the husband whose
wife sent him to the store to buy
some green paint. ''Now don't
get a light green," she said;
"or a dark green, either. Kind

U.S.. DICTATOR
THE LAST HUNDRED YEARS

THE LAST HUNDRED YEARS
Ever since the Civil War, rail-
roads, public utilities, and all
other corporations in which
people invest their money have
been getting exclusive franchises
or privileges. This applies to
doctors, lawyers, and "Indian
Chiefs" as we'll. There are near
ly a thousand separate "offices"
in washington which offer, d.
rectly or indirectly, these special
privileges. This is a long, long
way from the freedom Of which
Washington and Jefferson
dreamed. The point Of my article
is that these laws granting
special franchises or privi-
leges by the Federal Govern
ment or by the separate States :
will not be cancelled by legis-
lation. The clock cannot be
turned in reverse.
Mr.. Shrum shows, In his care
full study, that The only way other
countries have gotten rid OF
special franchises and privileges
has been by the appointment OF
a Dictator. I do not mean that
Mr.. Kennedy will become die
tator; but I do mean that he can
cancel what is already in opera
tion only by being a dictator.
History shows that dictators
finally lose their powers and a
Republic is started again to
be followed by a repetition OF
what this country has gone
through via amendments to our
Constitution and other legisla-
tion which have brought us to
our present condition. Then we
will start over again and ex-
perience another two hundred
years Of similar changes.

The potentialities inherent in pro-
gress Of this kind stagger the mind
and they aren't confined to commercial
matters. A fast-shrinking world means
that nations are brought closer and clos
er together, and that the stage is set for
people-to-people understanding and toll
erance on yet unrealized scale. This is
the foundation on which a peace
fulworld can be built.

Gub-Fest From TruiI's End
by Pat Hatfield

This week I'm visiting you
with a sore throat and a box Of
tissues under my arm. am re-
minded Of that little gem Faith
Baldwin penned under the same
condition.
"1 think that I shall never
see
A sight less lovelier than
me;
A me whose driply-flowing
nose
blooms mid the Neenex like
rose;
A me who gruesomely must
wear
A wreath of curriers' in her
hair;
While daily living / deplore
And virus smites me aft and
fore."
Oh, well, I'll think of plea
santer things. It certainly was
fun to have an early Saturday
morning breakfast of pancakes
and fixtn's with Irene Mariner
and our two teen-age daughters.
This particular one was served
to the public outside of a big
super market. It was bit chilly
and we were bundled up against
the brisk wind, but everybody
was jolly. heard one woman say
laughingly to her husband, "Isn't
this silly when we could have had
the same thing in our nice warm
kitchen?"
How we Americans do love to
eat out Of doors. It seems that
no matter what time of day we
are motoring on the highways,
some family is busy spreading
a picnic. especially love break
fast in the open air, and this one
set me to thinking Of all
the many breakfasts have en-
joyed under the blue sky.
One summer morning, years
ago, we arose at 200 am. and
headed for the state of Pennsy-
lvania. At nine O'Clock that same
morning we were eating our fried
chicken and rolls on a hill Just
outside Of Gettysburg. There
were no tourists, no places Of
business, no litter, and no glar-
ing signs--just beauty. We en-
ioyed the rest Of the day so much
more for that quiet time. We
went on to take the guided tour
Of the battlefield and on to Har-
risburg to enjoy the beautiful
state capitol buildings there.
One breakfast l enjoyed in the
open followed an impressive sun
rise service on a high hill out
side Of Carlisle, Pa, while Twas
attending summer school at
Dickinson College. Always since
then I have loved the sunrise
almost better than the sunset.

That's the way the College
vile Flag G. Manufacturing Co.,
Collegeville, Pa, sees It. Ditto,
the National Safety Council whose
recommendations the company
followed in designing its ''White-
fortnight" line.
Costumes are fashioned of
light-reflecting, flame-retardant
rayon. The white fabric Is COM
bined with Day-Glo colors that
are both eye-catching and light
catching.
"Children don't have to know
they're wearing these safety
minded costumes for their own
good" says Mrs. Evelyn Mac
Donald, firm consultant. "That
would take some of the fun out
Of 1t for them. But even the
hardest to please child will find
just what suits him."
He can be anything from
Demon Devil to Casper, the
Friendly Ghost, to pirate, de-
pending on his turn of mind.
Masks with each outfit make
sure the child can see as well
as be seen. They have extra
wide eyeholes which allow full
scope of vision. Remember,
manufacturers build safety fea-
lures into their costumes :
flame retardant fabrics, easy to
spot colors, wide-eyed masks.
Homemade costumes may prove
to be false economyl
"White-for- Night" costumes

Expense account living was not as
prevalent back in 1880 as it is today, but
it was lot simpler. That was the year
George M Cohan, Jr. won Supreme
Court approval Of his claiming tax de-
ductions on estimated business enter
tainment expenses, without benefit Of
records to substantiate the claim. The
Cohan rule was not repealed until 1861,
when Congress passed the tax revision
act. -~
Since then, there has been turmoil
among expense account livers. When the
Internal Revenue Service promulgated
its regulations last December the turn
oil rose to new heights. There was a
sharp decline in expense account spend

charged. Marcia is particularly
eager to breed or buy a
champion trotter, but doesn't plan
to give up her profession.
Unlike most teen-agers who
spend their time dating, dancing
and cheering at high school
games, Marcia watched horses.
At the age Of 8, she became at
tached to a mare named "Miss
Stardust," who won the New
York State pacing championship
at Buffalo. Marcia accepted the
trophy "It was the thrill of my
life," she says.
Marcia is well-liked around
the raceways. Why not? In ad-
dition to charting races, she
also helps horsemen fill out
their income tax sheets and
drivers license forms.

harness horses. He graduated

Beacon, majoring in business
administration and accounting.
Teddy, as he is usually called,
started working with the pro-
gram director in 1862 at Har-
rington. Since then, his work
has taken him to harness tracks
at Laurel, Brandywine, Free
hold, etc. During the races, he
records the position call Of each
horse, and complies the result
sheet on each race. During the
day, Ted makes sure the horses

Nearly all nations have started
with a race which was natural
to the soil, like the Indians Of
our country. Gradually they di-
vided into tribes, with born
rulers. In a way, China and
portions of Africa are now
emerging from this Tribal Era,
with natural-born leaders hav-
ing exceptional courage, energy,
and intelligence.
Gradually these tribal leaders
combine and we have the be-
ginnings Of a nation. At this
point, some stronger power from
abroad comes in to take posses
sion. In the case of the United
States, 1t was the English who
took the eastern portion as a
British colony; Spain, the south
eastern portion; and Mexico. the
southwest and what is now Cali
fornia. This was the Colonial
Era.
THE BEGINNING
OF OUR REPUBLIC
George Washington, Tn I'm S
Jefferson, and the Adamses
formed a republic in the United
States. This consisted originally
of thirteen colonies which grad
ually got their independence
from England. This republic, or
ganized under the original Con-
stitution, was far different from
the form of government we have
today. Voters had to be property
owners; and color, sex, and re-
ligion also entered into qualifi-
cations for voters. Congress
consisted of two houses: % the
House Of Representatives, theo-
retically elected by the people;
and (2) the Senate, made up OF
members chosen by the legis-
latures of the various States.

HALLOWEEN COSTUME
TIPS FOR PARENTS
It's that time Of year again
when children of all ages are
called on to decide whether they
want to be "Scary," ''pretty,"
''funny," or just plain ''ugly."
While the deciding is going on,
here are a few things to think
about before you buy your child
a Halloween costume. They come
from Mrs. Evelyn Macdonald,
consultant to the Collegeville
Flag and Manufacturing Co., Col
legeYille, Pa.
Don't foist off on your child
the Halloween costume you
didn't have when you were young.
You may have been the "ghost"
or Skeleton" type. He may be
scared to death Of both and pre-
fer to be rabbit or a pirate.
The choice should be his.
Remember you're not dressing
him to be presented at court.
No matter what 1t says on the
label, buy the costume so that
It's roomy. Oct. 81, can be cold
and no youngster wants to spoil
the effect by wearing a heavy
jacket over his costume. The
costume should be big enough
SO he can wear 1t over his out
side clothes.
Make sure any mask your child
wears allows him plenty Of
'feye room" II the holes for
his eyes are too small, his scope
Of vision will be limited Danger
ously. Try masks on yourself
before buying.
BE especially careful In se-
lecting color. Will the costume
show up In the dark? This is Of
paramount Importance consid-
ering that most f'trick or treat
Ing" is done after dark. And
even the most careful youngster
may forget basic safety rules
In the excitement of Halloween.
"This year we've expanded
our "White-for- Night" costume
line and developed a new glitter
process for this very reason .
Mrs. Macdonald says. All cos
tunes were designed according
to recommendations Of the Ma
tional Safety Council.
Re m Ell mber manufacturers
build safety features into their
costumes flame retardant fab
l-rics, aasy=to spot =colors, wide
Homade costumes

Capable Young Folk
N keeded In Agriculture

Scientific agriculture, Ameri-
cas- chief contribution to the ply
sfcal well being Of modern man
Is threatened by a force from
within, according to the retiring
Dean of Agriculture of the Uni
versity of California. The culprit
declared Dean Fred N. Briggs
is public Indifference.
'fIf we are going to maintain
the abundance of food which
Americans mistakenly take fo1
granted, the public must become
more aware Of the Importance of
agricultural industry to our econ
omy," he said.
Commenting on this, DR.. VIII
liam E. Mcdaniel, Director OF
Resident Instruction in the School
OF Agriculture at the University
of Delaware says that more cap
able young men and women must
be attracted to agriculture.
He says there is a mistaken
idea that ontrfbuteS to the re-
1uctance of students to enter the
agricultural sciences. This mis-
conception is that there are few
er farms and farmers, therefore
there must be fewer Jobs in ag-
riculture.
Commenting on this attitude
Mcdaniel points out that agricul-
ture includes processing, mar
kettng and many other industries
In addition to actual farming.
fThere is a turmoil of change
going on in these fields as new
scientific and economic ideas de-
velop. There is a tremendous
need for well trained young peo-
pie who can put these new meth
DDS to work."
In celebrating on statement
by Dean Briggs that "it is a
scientific miracle when only 20%
Of a familys income will buy all
OF its necessary food items"
Mcdaniel says that agriculture
also contributes to the nations
economic growth in other ways.
