Since that time, bans of ban- ‘dits or guerillas have been roaming the mountains and ‘fighting with the police and military patrols wherever they find them, _. Within the last month, a mob burned two of the -"Teading newspapers and the homes of two of the leading | Liberal politicians, The violence in Colombia appears to be a struggle between two strong parties, the Conserva- tives, who are in power, and the Liberals, who are not, There appears to be little veal difference in the political | philosophy of the two parties. In many of the countries of South America there has been a pattern of discontented masses rallying behind & leader who promised them better times. That was the ease in Argentina, Bolivia and Chile, Apparently, this is not the case in Colombia, where a person ia either born a Liberal or born a Conservative. While there is little dif- ference in the political beliefs of the two parties, there seems little hope of a compromise solution to the con- tinuous disorders that are so costly in lives and property, The best way to win praise is to do things People want done, and say things people want to hear, regard. leas of other considerations, er If you're wondering why Joe Doakes is wealthy and makes plenty of money, and why you don't make much of the green stuff, the answer probably lies in two fields: Either you are unlucky or honest, SLICE OF Sixth In Line Citizen Staff Photo MRS.

Since scallops are able to swim by rapidly opening and closing the shell, the adductor muscle in this particular shellfish is very large and flexible, It is in- teresting to note that even in areas where other shellfish may become polluted through infestation withi In his letter he wrote, “Bill, I've had a lot of folks tell me about your automatic budget-balancer which you discussed down here during July and August, All the folks say it's the most realistic approach to*balaneing the budget but most of the folks couldn't ex. plain to me what type gadget it was or exactly how it worked. ’'m sorry I missed your explanation of this proposal, in persons ‘and in the press, and wondered if you might send me a memo on it,” Well, in answering this neighbor, your essman explained it was nok a jet: It isn't a Rube Gold- berg ntion-type device with many wheels and a button te that would start a machine to manufacturé a cure-all end product, It is simply an amendment that would aet as a governor on the spending limit of our Federal Government, At the present time there are a- bout ten appropriation bills pre- sented to Congress each year, There’s an- appropriation bill for the Independent Agencies, the De- partment of Justiee, Commerce, Post Office and Defense, for ex- ample. Congress considers each ap- propriation bill separately over a Period of eight or ten weeks.

When they apprave the final appropriation bill they find that the total ameunt approved for all these Department is ten million dollars. Now, and only new, is a look taken at our total revenues, the money that will be taken in by government. Say this revenue will sr nine million dollars.

A, This is the giant ocean sun- fish, Mola mola. In addition to its mammoth size and bulk (10-foot examples may weigh more than a ton), this fish is noted fop its ex- tremely sluggish movements and its habit of resting on its side on the sea surface, apparently *sun- ning” itself, which accounts for its common name. For all its vast weight, the sunfish has flabby flesh and bones of a soft, cheesy eon- sisteney, and subsists largely upon a diet of jellyfish, It is sometimes hunted for the oil in its liver, but otherwise the ocean sunfish is worthless commercially. q. What are weberian ossicles? A. These are peculiar bony structures found in fishes of the order Cypriniformes, which include the representative freshwater (and a few marine) fishes of the world, among which are the carps, cat- fishes, and electric eels. we- berian ossicles consist of especial. hollow air-filled swim bladder with the os the internal ear, Al- though fishes are premene © & deaf, the weberian appa’ fishes pos: ity sensitive to tr 1 2 * 6 a 5 H ; F la balanced budget.
