EDITORIAL COMMENT 6 Book-Learning 9 Good People, who know better, may talk all they please against what they are pleased to call "book learning," but the work being done with the boys and girls on the farms of the country and the splendid leadership of the agri culture and home agents, have done a great deal in the past few decades to bring about an ap preciation of the scientific ap proach to everyday tasks. In fact, what some people fail to understand, even about school work, is that it is not so much the intelligence thatone acquires from study as the development of the brain into a thinking ma chine that counts. There are grown people in Louisburg today, who have been through college, but they have stopped long ago their quest for knowledge, and their minds are as dead as the dodo. On the oth er hand, there are educated peo ple here, who have never gone through high school. Our lax Lut It is not hard to recall the pre election tax cut fever which sud denly gripped the nation last July and August. ' Even President John F. Kennedy was on the verge of requesting special, emergency tax-cut legislation before Congress adjourned. In the "end, the President de cided to wait and everyone was confident the Fresldent would recommend a sizable cut in Jan uary of 1963. This the President did and there were many then who hoped that much of the tax cut would be retroactive to JuTy~ 1st. Now this hope appears dubi lous. We are facing a big deficit In the budget which closes on the 30th of June and another one for the coming year. Neverthe less a tax cut is in the mill and Congress' will almost certainly vote major reduction before ad journment. They will not likely go into effect until January 1st, or perhaps be realized in sev eral stages', but they should afford business, and the individ ual, substantial relief. In fact, this prospect has had its influence on business plans and hopes for an improving bus iness climate in recent months. ? Congress -should, however, s limit deficit? to reasonable , sums by curbing spending, for tax reduction will prove a bus iness stimulant in itself, and j will increase public spending ( and buying, thereby alleviating thev need for pump-priming by the government. ' Highways And scenery One of the blessings the super highways are bringing to many of the states Is litter-free high ways. That Is because the fed eral highway program includes an Incentive in cash for all of those states which agree to pro hiblt commercialism of the high ways. Signboards and billboards, and other forms of advertising, have long been standard procedure on most of our highways. Some time there is regulation but the regulations are not inclusive enough to Insure beautiful roads and highways. Driving over uncluttered high ways, free of litter and com mercialism, Is a Joy in contrast with the scene on most Ameri can highways. Of course, the condition of our roadbeds them- j selves for smooth driving, is , better than anywhere else in the world. Our automobiles ride more softly and are unquestion ably the best buy in the world. But the view from our line cars on our smooth roads is?doo often., an ugly one. Untidy gas stations, dirty ga rages, run-down shacks and the trash and refuse along the high ways are a major problem. Too many unkept, unregulated signs along the highways add to the eyesore effect. In some way we must clean up our highways, and it will be, in effect, cleaning up the countryside - and making this part of the country a more attractive place in which to live with pride. The Turbine Car A flury of automobile interest and excitement has been caused by the plans and progress of one member of the Big Three U.S. automobile companies involving a gas turbine car. The company recently annouc ed it would build fifty of these r. <j*rs and turn them over to vari ous private owners for periods of three months. This will test the public's reaction to the gas turbine car. - There seems little doubt the car has possibilities. It requires only about a fifth as many mov ing parts as a gasoline engine. It requires no elaborate cooling system and has only one spark ? plug. It will also burn a lower grade fuel. Its exhaust gases will be great er in volume but less toxic, whatever that will finally turn out to mean, if the car comes into wide use in smog-plagued Views And Reviews Barry Goldwater, Senator (R., Ariz.): : "1 disagree with these cry babies around the town (Wash ington) who say anything we do against Cuba will result In a nu clear holocaust. It will, not." Luther Hodges, Secretary of Commerce: "A congressman putting his wife or daughter on the payroll he's obeying the law technically, but he's not carrying out what seems to be the proper thing." John F. Kennedy, President, to Gordon Cooper: "That was a great flight. Peace has her victories as well as war, and this was one of the victories for the human spirit today. cities and areas. One idea about the car - that it is new and radical ->Jjs not wholely accurate. A British au tomobile company has built and sent turbine cars all over Europe for twelve years, testing the public's reaction. Obviously, this company is not so sure about the car's public accep tance. , The most appealing thing about the car, to the producers, is that it can probably be built cheaply. If savings are passed along to the public, and if the car's per formance is acceptable, chances are the public will take to it. In England this has not been the case, but it may be in the United States. The project is certainly a progressive one and an interesting one, and potential advantages of the turbine design are unquestionably real. The Ff$gte)|h Times ? Established 1870 ?

A sun-tan and a pair of flatter ing nylons wiftv<k> for them what powder will d?r far your face. However, this Is only the out slfle dressing. Pretty legs are always legs that get enough of the right kind of exercise. Ex ercise will also keep them pret ty longer. Swimming has often been call ed the perfect exercise for your whole body and is certainly on warm days the most plea sant to take. A brisk walk or bicycle ride is highly recom mended. Even beautifully shaped legs can be made unattractive look ing if they are shaggy. There is an electric razor - just for ladies - on the market. Or - a safety razor, carefully used will suffice. You may prefer to use one of the many hair removing products. Whatever you choose, be sure to keep your legs neat. Give your toe nails a mani cure. Take time to make It a good one. It Is a good idea to rub your legs and feet with your favorite hand lotion after every bath. This will keep them smoother looking. Stockings will make you more comfortable* during the heat.
