‘ " OT e -which to renew the PAGE TWO, a GREAT ATTRACTION It is not unusual for many of us to keep on “grumping” after we have lost a fight. “Fight’’ is used in its general appli- |eation, and may pertain“to"a defeat for political office or a disappointment in a Fbusiness deal, or any other of a dozen-and one things. Sontietithes we may merely gramble for rehearse what might have been, and then again we may keep on pegging away -‘|as Attorney General J. Tom Watson is doing in the Everglades Park matter. The state of Florida has transferred land: in the Everglades to the federal gov- RS ernment; the deed has been passed and -presumably has been recordéd, and Wat- of | sor lost in his fight in the state supreme court against the action of the other cabi- nef members. But, instead of acknowledg- ing defeat heis doggedly opposing the i transaction, though he says. his object is to save the state from lesing potential oil pools in the Everglades area. In that con- nection, he decries as false the assertion of the cabinet’s special counsel that the state has reserved 90 per cent of the .“take” from oil that may be found on the land that has been deeded to the federal government. It is generally agreed in Florida that -(the park will bé a decided asset to the state as a drawing card for visitors. Mil- lions go to see our national parks in the Feountry, and millions will come to Florida to seé Everglades National Park. It will be one of the nation’s greatest natural attrac- tiofis. There are at least 1500 known varieties of mosquitoes and there is hardly a place on earth where they are not found. They aré common not only in the vast deserts, where they breed and develop in tempor- ary pools of water, but also in the Arctic '| regions, where they breed in water from thelting ice. And if you know of any rea- son for their existence, except to try men’s souls, we'd like to be informed. To U, 8. Congress, Washington, D. C. Gentlemen: The use, or rather abuse, of the presidential “veto” is becoming uripop- ular with the people: of! the United States. Why not abolish it? The legal representatives of the people. make the laws, and after made, they should be- come operative. Now, one: man can af- firm or deny, the will of the. people ex- }: pressed through their chosen represen- tatives, ' THE: VETERANS FIND IT TOUGH The Congress of the United States, in its effort to take care of veterans and to prevent expected unemployment in this eatintry, provided conditions under. which ‘| veterans could obtain college educations. Thousands of veterans are going to school under the terms of the GI Bill of Rights. The government permits married vet- erans a monthly maximum of $90 and single veterans $65. A recent survey, how- ever, points out that there is a great gap between this. subsistence allowance and the expenditures necessary in securing an education. The Social Research Laboratory of the City College of New York recently investi- gated the plight of nearly 300 veterans. Its report showed that the veterans are consistently meeting the deficit between expenditures and income by using personal savings and cashing Government bonds. In the case of some married veterans, the wives make up the family income by work- ing at full or part-time jobs. Another just complaint of the veterans, according to the report, is that many of the veterans are living in housing facilities which are entirely inadequate for family life, much tess for study. Many veterans Feomplain of the lack of privacy, some say that facilities lack reasonable comforts and others assert that their homes are in- adequate for routine entertainment. WHY ARE WE IGNORANT? Life has existed on the earth, in somé form or other, for hundreds of millions of years, according to geologists, and human beings have roamed the globe for so many: years that no one krows: how long. There is not much . sé in’ Worrying ebout the number. of years ‘during which men and women have improved their na- tures. That this is so ik,one’of the basic fact# of life and camot: bé gaitisaid by pessimists with a complex‘ of their own. One of the mysteries. of human lifé, however, is the stubborn réfusal of men and women to use their intelligence. While ohé can readily admit. that: the average being knows very little, thefé is no reason why each one of us should not attempt to learn as much as possible. The truth’ of this statement can be easily recognized if one.takes time to study the scope of humay knowledge about one hundred years ago. Let us consider the human body and its.workings. How many men and women Make’ sotne intelligent effort to understand thethselves, either on the physical or mental side? How few attempt to grasp the possibility of the hus man spifit as it attunés it#elf-to a divine being! Employes, not secufe in their jobs, are ardent advocates of fire prevention. There are exceptions, of course, but the best people in most communities are the ones who support the churches. PRAISES THE Uv. $. oe hs “Of decisive importance to the future well-being of mankind,” is what Anthony Eden, deputy-ledder of the opposttion in Great Britain, says about the offer of the United States to help Burope. Earlier, officials of the British govern: ment compared the offer of this coun- try’s lend-leasé as an’ @et of surprising generosity. The British realize that it is impossible for them to export enough goods to pay for what they must impoft and, conse- quently, that American aesiztanee is néeéxs sary to secure # lotige? BYeathing spacé ih productive facilities: that can maintain the stawd@ard of living of the British people. ESCAPE TAXATION * The U.S, Treasury Department is be- ginning to study the income of tax-exempt organizations which, in 1948, had an in- come of more than $5,000,000,000 with- -out taxation. The Treasury’s study is designed to Pave the way for a sweeping revision of the tat st¥ucture next yedr. Otie of the purposes is to eliminate tax-avoidance leopholes and to prevent the tax-exemp- tion Pig Sei from being abused. A Treéadury officiat says that, since tax World Wars, the complaint has been made that certain tax-eRéeript or@antzations ,avé enjoying an unfair compétifive advan- tage over tax-paying businesses.
