By Ftiac
First of all, my thanks to Toni
Shields and Jerry Holmes for
taking over some of my broad
casting activities last Monday
and Tuesday whilst we took a
quick trip to New York. Two
days traveling and one day with
the family, but it was worth it.
Have been reading with inter
est the flood situation in Water
loo, lowa. That’s where I did
my first television shows, and
it’s a typically nice mid-western
city. The Cedar River, which
caused all the flood damage,
flows through the heart of
Waterloo and was only about
seven or eight blocks from
where I lived, so I’m sure my
old house was one of the prop
erty victims. Senator Goldwa
ter always has to do something
to keep his name in the news.
He released a report cheering
Denver, Colorado’s Mayor Sam
Mardian for telling President
Kennedy 'to go to he—. Turns
out Mayor Mardian not only said
no such'thing, but had written
President Kennedy praising him
for his work concerning the fed
eral urban renewal plan. Cof
fee drinkers who object to in
stant coffee have a new threat,
synthetic coffee. Researchers are
working on it now. Did you
know that the Pennsylvania
Railroad received federal aid
back in 1828? Wonder what t'he
reaction of the 19th century
conservatives was? Signs of
spring: girls with shorts, base
ball, green grass, open-top con
vertibles and girls with shorts.
Ever notice that there are more
dogs that chase cars on Para
dise Road than any other local
thoroughfare? Ever notice that
there are more limping dogs on
Paradise Road?

Did you know Gasoline
is Taxed at a Rate
5 Times as High
as Diamonds?
t
IN NORTH CAROLINA.YOU PAY sl!2 TAX
ON 10 GALLONS OF GASOLINE
Gasoline taxes will be lowered
if the latest temporary
Federal gasoline tax increase
expires on June 30th as scheduled by
the 1959 Federal Highway Act.
Along with all good citizens, we are in favor of
building the roads that the motoring public needs.
But, in the last 10 years alone, Federal and State taxes
nationwide on gasoline have skyrocketed 51% —sky
rocketed to a point where gasoline, a basic commodity,
is actually taxed at a rate five times as high as luxuries
like diamonds and mink coats.
Must gasoline taxes be so high? Most people believe
that gasoline taxes are high because the money is needed
to pay for our national highway program. This is not so.
The fact is that out of every highway-user tax dollar
collected last year by the Federal government, more t/um
40 cents was diverted to non-highway purposes.
II these highway-user tax revenues were spent for high
ways—as they should be—gasoline taxes could be lowered,
and the highway program given a boost.
In fact, the Federai-Aid Highway Act off 959 provides
that when the added temporary Federal gasoline tax ex
pires on June 30th, 1961, as scheduled, some SBO2 mil
lion a year in highway-user taxes—now diverted to the
U. S. Treasury’s general fund—will instead be deposited
in the Highway Trust Fund.
As a result, if the latest Federal temporary gasoline tax

The women had to find sub

corn cobs for soda, and any
suitable dried leaf for tea, such
as sassafras and blackberry.
Candles were made by putting
or placing drippings in a pan
with a woolen rag for the wick.
Pine knots were also used.
Soap was made by boiling scraps
of meat, meatskins and bones in
lye, obtained by placing wood
ashes in a keg or barrel and
dripping water through.
Christmas fruit cakes for the
soldiers were made out of dried
cherries, dried whortle berries,
candied watermelon rind and

each year than it now receives from the latest Federal ,
temporary gasoline tax increase.
In January of this year, after an exhaustive 2-year sur
vey of national transportation policy, a special U. S.
Senate study group confirmed the wisdom of this decision.
This will be good news for you. You will be able to
enjoy a steadily improving highway system, at a lower
gasoline tax-rate.

Wool from old mattresses was
often recarded and spun into
yam for socks to keep the
soldiers from halving cold feet.
Carpets and draperies were un
raveled and woven into blankets
for the army. In answer to a
call for silk for war balloons
used for the first time in this
war, discarded silken dresses
were pulled apart and the silk
furnished. The homespun cloth,
which was woven at home, was
a uniform for.men, women and
children. To relieve the ugliness
the women concocted dye of
various kinds from poke ber
