note: Achin Al-

it it’s probably the
they can get any
otli'Of him at all.
Editar: This Is some-
thing rare for this part of the
country, but the other day I was
%anderin around over my
not thinkin about any-
in particular, might as well
been sittin in a political of-
fice* somewhere draw In a salary
for all the good I was doin, when
J stumbled on a magazine, at
least I thought it was a maga-
zine, but when I went ahead and
took a chance on waBtin my en-
ergy and bent over and picked it
up I diicovered it was a copy of
the Congressional Journal.
J don’t get to see very many
copies of the Congressional Jour-
nal, which I miss like not havin
my hungry cousin show up for
Sunday dinner, so I took this one
to my favorite restin place, al-
though understand I ain’t pre-
judiced or hide-bound and can

rest practically any place I hap-
pen to be, and while I was leafin
through it I came to a firey ad-
dress by some congressman who
was denouncin what he called
‘hidden taxes.” Said it was out-
rageous the way congress didn't
have the nerve to come right out
and tax the people in plain day-
light, but was always figurin out
ways to hide the taxes, slip em
over on the people without us
knowin anything about it. Said
if you was buyin a pair of shoes
and paid a hidden tax on em
without knowin it, you was bein
sort of deceived by the govern-
ment.
Now I ain’t in favor of taxes,
if I was I’d pay the ones I owe
for year before last, but I just
don’t believe that congressman
knows anything about human na-
ture. It ain’t a question of de-
ceivin the people, but a matter
of keepin public offices filled. If
everybody had to pay all their
taxes in one lump sum, the life
expectancy of the average office-
holder would be three weeks.
It won’t be long before folks
out here will start gettin their
tax notices from the court house,
and there ain’t nothin more de-
pressin than a tax notice if the
figures are higher than you
thought they was gonna be. The
way I see it is, the more hidden
the taxes are, the better I' like
it. Can’t hide em too much to
^uit me. Politicians may not be
so smart, but on the other hand
they ain’t so dumb.
Yours faithfully, A. A.

It could be anything from day-
dreaming while driving a car to

From where I sit, It’s mighty
important to be on guard against
your own “blind spots.’’ The other
fellow has a right to his “share of
the road,” too—whether it’s hav-
ing s taste for a temperate glass
of sfWMing beer or a desire to lis-
tbfr iMMl'ie classical music if he
wants to.

A Lesson To Remember!
There is a lesson here for parents, too! No child can do his best
at homework if eyestrain caused by poor light makes him drowsy
and unable to concentrate. Make sure your child has plenty of
good light at his study table. See that the lamp he uses for home
study is equipped with bulbs totaling at least 100 watts, and that
it is well shaded to eliminate glare. Better light means better
grades.!
Here's Better Light for Hone Study!
Homework’* quickly done with a Better Sight
Table Study Lamp like this. Its wide-angle
shade and extra tall standard spread light over
a wide area. Its white glass diffusing bowl
sifts out harmful glare. Equipped with a 150-
watt bulb it provides plenty of light and the
right kind of light for safer, easier seeing.
