AVOID HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
High Mood pressure, or hypertension. is a disease that is often
found m people with emotional disturbances, but doctors admit that
any tvpe of individual may develop high blood pressure.
It is noted that individuals who have the same tension do not al-
ways get the same high blood pressure. Consequently. there must be
an added factor which some medtcal men believe may be "inborn.
At any rate, the scientists cannot explain it.
While emotional tension, caused by worry, fretting and anger, may
not alwavs develop into high blood pressure, which causes many
deaths in our modern civilization, the importance of achieving some
stable inner nature cannot be over-estimated in connection with
these disturbances.
Th.e individual who has evolved a satisfactory philosophy of life,
based on a religious belief which satisfies, is not apt to be as wor-
ried, as angry or as upset as the one who does not enjoy this peace
of mind. While it cannot be asserted that everybody who attains this
inner peace escapes high blood pressure, or that all those v. ho are
upset are attacked by this disease, the exceptions may be explained
one day when science learns all that there is to be learned about man
and his ailments.
Until complete information is available, we suggest that all readers
make an attempt to eliminate worry, fretting and anger, because,
after all, when one views human life on the eternal scale, the minor
aggravations and torments of this human life are not worth the dis-
turbances that so many of us allow them to create in our daily lives.
U. S. TROOPS IN KOREA
Washington has revealed it will eventually evacuate all U. S
troops from South Korea. No doubt this will bring protests from the
South Koreans, but it is the sensible course for Washington to follow.
Since U. S. troops strength there, is already reduced, and since the
Communists have broken the truce agreement and built up large
forces in North Korea, our situation, should a new war break out,
would be most difficult.
Our policy is somewhat different today than it was before the Ko-
rean War. If a war breaks out in Korea now, the general impression
is that it will be a general one, involving China and not be confined
to Korea.
The United States would begin operations against China in a num-
ber of places, and Korea would not be the decisive theatre. There is
evidence that the United States would go straight to the heart of
China to settle the matter.
No doubt we would do everything possible to bolster the South
Koreans, in case of a new war. but we would not make Korea the
center point of the war, or the decisive arena. U. S air power and
naval power would be used in an effort to bring China to her knees
and if this effort were successful, the peace settlement would
straighten out things in Korea.
COLLEGE GRADUATES AND JOBS
Thousands of college graduates are just now entering the world of
business, and in this boom year. 1955, these graduates find jobs plen-
tiful and opportunities almost unlimited. As a result, it is even diffi-
cult to find a good man to fill a job. in many cases.
The graduating class this year is not large like it will be a few
years hence. And since business is on an upswing, in most fields, job
opportunities match the number of job-seekers.
We have one word of advice to the graduate of 1955, however,
which may go unheeded but which we will offer anyhow. Most of
the graduates of 1955 have never known hard times. That is evident
from simple arithmetic, because tunes have generally been good for
a lad of twenty, today.
Jobs have been rather easy to get since the war and so today's
young graduate might come to the conclusion that things will always
be this way. But unfortunately, they will not. In our economic
system th?re are always adjustments and sooner or later, wc will run
into one.
It is doubtful if we will ever have another depression like that ex-
perienced in the early thirties, but nevertheless, there will be times
when jobs will be appreciated and when the least efficient will
find themselves on the outside looking in.
When that day comes, the graduate of 1955 who had the fore-
sight to try a little harder, to do a little better than average, to
realiy put his heart into his work, will be secure. The graduate of
1955 who has given his customers (or his boss) service, and value
for money received, will not be in danger, except in most unusual
cases.
The fellows who will be out of work, who will wonder what has
happened to the world, and who will turn sour on our social
system, will be the graduate of 1955—or 1954 or 1956 who has
had an easy time of it all his life and who has never applied him-
self to hard work.
So, graduates these arc above-average times. Make the most of
them, and appreciate your luck in being graduated in 1955 rather
than in 1932. Do not loaf through your first years. If you do, you
will never catch up with the fellow who started fast at the begin-
ning, which is now.

Legislative Letter
From W. W. Glass
Austin. June 8.—The log jam
oi the present session of the Leg-
islature has finally been broken.
During the past week, both
Houses finally passed the big tax
bill and the big appropriations
bill, the two measures which
created the jam.
As finally passed by the Legis-
lature and sent to the Governor,
the tax bill provides for an in-
crease in the gasoline tax of one
cent, in other words, a raise from
four to five cents. It also pro-
vides for an increase in the
cigarette tax of one cent, a raise
from four to five cents per pack-
age. The measure provider for an
increase in the beer tax from $2.00
per barrel to $4.30 per barrel, a
raise of $2.30. The present tax on
beer is approximately six-tenths
of one cent per bottle, but under
the new law it will be one and
three-tenths cents per bottle.
The tax bill also provides for
some other increases in taxes, j
such as the increase on the corpo-
ration franchise tax. However.
90' - of the revenues under the
new tax bill will come from gas-
oline. cigarettes and beer.
other words. 90'i of the new taxes
will be sales taxes.
The tax bill was finally passed
in the Senate by a vote of 18 to
13. In the House, it was adopted
by a vote of 72 to 67. I was one
of the 67 voting against the bill
on final passage.
I opposed the bill largely be-
cause it places too much stress on
sales taxes, and not enough on
natural gas and other items. In
fact, there will not be any
