Page 4-B A Letter From Papa D 1 Will Austria go socialistic? As pointed out before, Austria’s par liament is divided almost evenly between two parties, 78-82, with one small and not important splinter party of eight. From the two main parties, one (78 seats) is the socialist; the larg er (82 seats), the Conservative' or Christian. This separation is not only one of belief but also is geographical. Vienna and its large surround ing area was since 1918 and still is a stronghold of socialism with a very strong leaning towards Marxism, but all claim to be strongly anti-communist. Almost all of the large factories, offices, etc. are located in this area and represent strong bloc voting. Vienna's mayor (the Burger meister) is and always was (with an exception during the Hitler regime) a socialist, and with a strong majority of aider men belonging to his party, he is the absolute ruler of Vienna. The socialistic influence is evi dent everywhere and the tax structure, the workers’ benefits, the working conditions etc. are strongly shaped to the benefit of the worker and are interfering with and hampering the free enterprise system. There is, for instance, a housing develop ment tax. This tax is levied on every salary, wage, and income. The revenue out of this tax is quite enormous. From this mon ey and some extra from the general taxes, the town of Vien 4 Adirer Wilson About this question: “New package policies are appear ing for offices, retailers and whole salers.

To get an apartment in Vien na is almost impossible (all rents are frozen) and so the Socialist party has with her building boom, the possibility of favoring some people against others by giving apartments. This, of course, puts the right people together in many blocs with the same voting practices. The town of Vienna owns close to 60 per cent of all new houses and apartments, and the the town is also the biggest job-giv ing authority and boss. Gas, electricity, water, trains, trol leys, large restaurants, sewer, garbage collection, savings banks, cafeterias, insurance, etc., are mostly town owned and op erated. No wonder people who want jobs and hold jobs know how to vote. Because the rents are frozen, the private landlord is today the poorest man in town. Landlords with big houses four and five stories high, with 25-30 tenants, don’t get enough revenue to live on. Taking advantage of this situ ation, many tenants paying sl2- $35 rent per month sub-let and sub-rent for SIOO-150 a month. These tenants can’t be evicted; the rent can't be raised; and if the tenant dies, his son, daugh ter, wife, etc., are entitled to the apartment at exactly the same rent. Since the landlord has prac tically no income, he is unable to make repairs, so all the pri vately-owned houses and build ings look terrible. Only if the re pair is absolutely necessary for the maintenance of safety, a commission from the town de cides that this repair is to be made. The cost of such repairs is equally divided among all the tenants and is paid by each tenant in monthly installments during the next ten years. Also the bank rate is between six and nine per cent per year. The town is ready to borrow mon ey for building or repairs at one or two per cent. Under these Former UNC Prof Dies In San Diego Dr. Margaret Jarman Hagood, former member of the faculty at the University here, died of a coronary attack on Aug. 13 at conditions it is practically im possible for individuals to build and the only other contractors and builders are the banks and the insurance companies. Nine ty per cent of all new buildings in Vienna, and there are many, are owned by the town, the bank or insurance firms. The only thing an individual has a chance to build is a smell one-family house in the suburbs or outside the city limits. The whole trend is to regiment, control, over-tax, and burden the free business man. This leads to a bad tax morale, cheating, unwillingness to invest new capital, and gen eral dissatisfaction. You can take a menu and you read at the bottom; 15% for ser vice, 10% for beverage tax, 10% for ice or ice cream tax. And don’t believe the waiters, us ually there are three, are satis fied with the 15% for service, which is granted them by law and paid out to them by the boss 100%. Oh, no, just try to get up without giving a tip! The stan dard rule or unwritten custom is to give the main waiter who bills you and takes the money five per cent of the total bill, the second waiter three per cent, and the “piccolo” two per cent. Which means you don’t pay 15% for service, but 25%. The tourists, the ordinary vis itors, don’t realize all these things. He is so enchanted, so taken in by these fantastic shops, by these restaurants, bars, theaters, by the singing and mus ic making of all the “heurigen” that he is neither prepared nor willing to take time out to lis ten to the real heartbeat of this great old city. Will Vienna “go” socialistic? It will not “go," it already is 70% socialistic. Only time will tell if roughly 50% of the popu lation will be able to resist the other 50% in making not only Vienna, but also all of Austria a socialistic state. —Edward Danziger Mercy Hospital in Sen Diego, Calif.

This is a very short period of time and will require farmers to think about their pas ture and make plans before these seeding dates. The soil should be well pul verized and permitted or become firm, and if possible, wait for a rain. Then seed when enough moisture is in the soil to germ inate the seed. Lime should be applied as far in advance of seeding as possible, but lime may be applied just prior to seeding and good results obtained. A liberal application of ferti lizer is a good investment. Most soil tests call for 1,000 pounds of 2-12-12 per acre, and a few soil samples call for an additional 500 to 800 pounds of 20% super phosphate. Seeding pasture is expensive.

FEEDER CALF SALE The annual Feeder Calf Sale for this area will be held at the Farmer's Mutual Livestock Mar ket in Hillsboro on Thursday, September 26. Approximately 1,200 top quality calves have been consigned to this sale. We would like to remind all farmers that these heifers must be calfhood vaccinated for Bangs or Brucellosis by a licensed vet inarian. Calves must be vaccinat ed for Brucellosis between 4 and months of age. The reason for requiring vaccination is that these heifers would meet health requirements to be shipped to any part of the nation.

Miss Margaret Knott of the Kaiser Foundation Rehabilitation Center, Vallejo, California, is here to instruct 25 graduate phy sical therapists from all over the Southeast in the treatment approach known as “neuromus cular facilitation.” Used to re store patients’ control over dam aged muscles, the method com bines the patient’s involuntary reflexes with his conscious ef fort to produce movement. According to Miss Knott, the key process in neuromuscular fa cilitation is the "stretch reflex.” Every muscle in the body can be manipulated by the physical therapist to contract and relax involuntarily by a quick stretch. If the patient is instructed to try to voluntarily contract and re lax the muscle at the same time that the stretch is applied, the double stimulus of brain im pulse and reflex impulse is often enough to make even a “dead" muscle respond. A muscle that will hardly move at all when either artificial stim ulus or voluntary effort is used alone will usually move when both are used together. For ex ample, a polio victim could con tract his thigh voluntarily a maximum of three times. With the aid of a physical therapist using the stretch reflex, he could contract it five times, Miss Knott said. And eventually, af ter days or weeks of this treat ment, the patient is often able to move a previously useless muscle on his own. Even in cases where a patient seems to be completely paralyz ed and his reflexes destroyed, this method has, with time, brought amazing improvement, according to Miss Knott. “We Sunday, August 25,1963 never know how much innate recovery potential a patient has and this method takes advantage of whatever potential is there. Clayton (Continued from Page 3-B> was given a delightful produc tion that reflected credit upon all hands. Plays featuring child actresses are usually a snare and a delusion, but Miss Chris tiann Dykstra sustained her role of Jennifer with grace, wit, skill, and understanding in a manner that never once suggested to the cynical that she might be an impossible brat off the stage. The last event of the evening was something entitled I Want So Mach, I’ve Got So Much to Give by Elizabeth R. Smith. It was introduced with a reason ably straight face by Professor Jurgensen as a “sophisticated play,” and presented the case history of a playwright-composer painter-poet in what appeared to be the last stages of acute oral regression. When not nuzzling bottles of assorted shapes and siz es he was nibbling at a confus ing parade of secretaries, maids, visitors, and wives in a merry go-round that ended with his attempting to destroy himself with a gun that proved tq have been loaded with blanks, the symbolism of which, in the im mortal words of the old John son-Smith Catalogue, “is better imagined than described.” The play was terribly miscast as nothing less than the combined talents of the Marx brothers could have done justice to the demands of the script. With Groucho as the roue writer, Harpo as the silently lascivious secretary, Chico as the peripa tetic maid, and Gale Sondegaard as the homophagous wife, there is no telling how much of the sophistication might have been realized. No telling at all.
