Seattle, Wash. TIME TO START SAVING [ Most of us have a little margin, perhaps a substantial magin, between what we earn and what costs us to live. Some of that, or it for in spite of the protections of social security, every » j family has its own problems. Every family needs a ; backlog—perhaps for an emergency, perhaps for a } larger investment, some day, to make full use of an : opportunity. [ United States Savings bonds, Series E, afford ) an ideal way to sdve. They are as safe as the | United States of America. They return $4, after 10 ! years, for every $3 invested rate. They can be cashed at any time, if thefr value ‘ in money should be needed.

It is | important, for the nation's stability, that more of thel | public debt be held by individuals. KETCHIK! \'\ SAL E, ’I AX Ketchikan is to vote on June 26 on a proposed 2 per cent sales tax and the Ketchikan News says clarification is needed, as follows First—Is the sales tax for a special purpose or. for general purposes? Second—What exemptions, if any, are to be made? Third—Since the citizens already approved a bond issue of $425,000 why is it necessary to have an addi- tional sales tax? Some people are against a sales tax in any form. It is no use to argue with them. The majority, how- | ver, we feel are open to reason. But they must be convinced a sales tax is necessary and the reasons therefor. Unless proper clarification is given, the sales tax is foredoomed to failure. There also should be an opinion from the Attoiney General on the act which mentions that is covers “retail sales and services.” What “services.” Don't that include “services” of professiong] men? There are quite a few other questions that n(’ud‘ to be answered before the special election is held. | On of these is what is to be done about the 10 mill Terrtiory property tax. Will it be added to the prmvm city tax of 20 mills? How about operation in the Territorial Retire- | ment system for public employees? What is the ap- | proximate ‘city payroll total? How much will it cost the city to operate this system? | We should begin to ask these questions at once. There is too little time left before the election is to | be held. Taxpavers and voters will want to know what they are up against.” i Hank Wallace says we'll be plunged into war by the Atlantic Pact, which is the same thing he strongly implied would happen if he weren't elected President If a person who has saved money for a rainy day |isn't careful, someone will come along and soak him. Sen. Scott Lucas says if ‘the Government is to balance its budget, it must raise more taxes and spend less money.

Such is not 1 the case. Services are routine when the President attends to worship and most of the congrega- gation doesn’t know whether Tru-| man is present until the very end when Rev.

But when Vaughan’s | name was discovered in the list, the | House Armed Services Committee | dropped the medals like hot pen- nies. as a trial bal- |loon, a bill came before the Senate authorizing some U. S. scientists to accept some British awards. This time they were civilians. But the debate lasted exactly two minutes. General Vaughan's name ended it all. i Senator Millard Tydings of Mary- |land, champion of the Senate Arm- ed Services Committee, had stood up to explain the bill. “Cengress,” he droned, “passed a | special act, applying only during the length of the war, which permitted military and other decorations dur- ing the war. But since that act | has expired, it becomes necessary |in each case, military or civilian, to | have special legislation.” “Is the war over?” boomed out | Ohio’s Senator Robert Taft. “I should say some phases of it |seem to be going on with increas- ed intensit; retorted Tydings, with a sardonic grin. “Does this bill cover the Gen- eral who is connected with the asked New Hamp- shire’s Senator Charles Tobey. | “No, it does not,” snapped Tyd- ‘ing.\ “It has nothing to do with |any military personnel.” But though Vaughan's medal was not on the list, a motion by Repub- lfcan leader Kenneth Wherry of | Nebraska set the hill aside “tem- porarily.” Meanwhile, the State De- | partment, as temporary custodian | for all these medals, is turning in- 'to a glorified hock shap. ! | i | | | e e 0 00 0 cC o tween Montreal and New York, a rvice operated up to now only by Colonial.

The agreement gives this country rights to pick up and discharge: passengers and cargo at Gander, Newfoundland, a jump-off point to Europe, and at Edmonton, Alta., a main stop to Alaska and the Orient. Continuation of traffic rights at Gander had been jeopar- dized *when Newfoundland joined Canada earlier this year.
