Mutual aid
Some man has been widely quoted for
years as saying "It's not the gift itself but the
thought that counts."
If he ever had tried to man a fire depart-
ment or keep its equipment in operating con-
dition, he would have realized that his bit of
philosophy was only half correct.
The thought is important, of course, as
any of the Naples Volunteer Firemen can tell
you.
They are only human enough that they
become resentful when they are frequently
called to leave their jobs or give up their leis-
ure time to put out a fire someone else has set
carelessly.
The torn clothes and the cleaning bill
don't set well with them, either.
They do that work often without as much
as a courteous acknowledgement from the per-
son they've helped.
Because this happens too frequently and
too many of the beneficiaries of the fire de-
partment too often neglect to pass on even as
much as a "thank you", some good Cass county
neighbors this week took an action that made
firemen's efforts in their area worth their
time.
Folks there decided the Naples fire de-
partment had made too many free runs to
their area. They passed the hat around the
area and people dropped in change, folding
money and checks. It came to over $434.
This they passed on to the treasurer and
fire chief with instructions to use it as the
firemen please — equipment, maintenance or
simply a social affair.
The money probably will go into the de-
partment's almost empty till to be used to
make the fire fighting equipment more ade-
quate.
The department is fortunate to have some
friends who acknowledge their efforts with
their thanks and their money.
It makes a hot, dirty, unpleasant task a
lot easier to do.

SAGE OF SULPHUR BOTTOM
Figures out a way io raise
congress pay without fuss
(Editor's note: The Sage of
Sulphur Bottom on his John-
son grass farm tries to help
congress with a ticklish prob-
lem this week.)
Dear editar:
While I have never been
able to work out a plan where-
by both football teams can
win the same game and no-
body leaves the stadium brok-
en-hearted, I haven't given up,
and to rest my mind from the
problem I have been working
on an idea where congress
can vote itself a raise without
getting beat.
As I understand it, there's
a move on to increase the sal-
aries of numerous government
officials, on the grounds you
jiave to pay them about as
much as they could make in
private life of they'll quit and
we'll have to take on second-
rate people, although this
doesn't always work out that
way.
For example, I've heard it
argued that if we increase the
pay of state legislators, say,
we'll get a better quality of
men, but whenever a state
does, it seems to me the same
men turn up running again.

At any rate, in the Wash-
ington salary problem, there's
a proposal to increase con-
gressmen and senators' pay by
$10,000 a year, and a lot of
the members go along with
this, except for one thing.
While they figure they're
worth $10,000 a year more
than the $22,000 they're get-
ting now, they'd rather have
the $22,000 than nothing,
which is what they're afraid
they'd get if they voted them-
selves a raise and got voted
out of office. On the other
hand, a $10,000 raise sure
looks tempting.
They might have to change
the rules a little, but I have
worked out a plan where they
can swing it.
Let the senate vote the
house a raise. Every member
of the house can then rise to
oratorical heights and de-
nounce this as a gross waste
of taxes and send copies of the
speeches back home.
The senate though should
remain firm and ramrod the
raise through. Then the house
could vote the senate a raise,
and every member of the sen-
ate could make a speech
against it for home consump-
tion.
There's more than one way
to skin a cat.
Yours faithfully,
J. A.
