The metropoli Midi.rs ot "free markets" have been h',.:-' awav at the svstem of parities, price :-i.';)' r'.: and subsidies which the federal gov ( . i.n.er.t ha? maintained for the protection of a : ,r '.;'-ure. The assumption is that farming is the only mv riac enterprise in the nation that is i ' - l- assistance from the laws of the i.v.'i. One editor says that "in any other i, ess except farming, if the cost of pro ;on is higher than the price that can be ined for the product, technicians are put r k in laboratories to find ways of re-n- 'ho c st of production enough to al- i M'lf'it at the free market price."' The truth f?'that in some other lines of business except farming, the business men who advocate private initiative and a free economy do not always put technicians to v i k in laboratories, but instead put lobby ist; to work in Washington to raise tariff rates. There are many manufacturers in the United States who make no effort to reduce production costs "enough to allow a profit at thr- free market price" because they prefer to operate behind the high walls of a pro tective tariff svstem. This enables them to charge consumers, including millions of farmers, much more than they could get for their product in a free market. As long as the nation extends subsidies to manufacturers, through the medium of the protective tariff, justice demands that the farmers of the nation be . guaranteed a sys tem of price supports, subsidies or whatever is necessary to give the agricultural popula tion a share of the national income in line with that received by other economic seg ments of the nation.

Tests have shown that a car which gets 18.7 miles to the gallon of gas at 30 miles an hour gets only 15.8 miles to the gallon at 40 miles an hour, 13.3 miles at 50 MPH, 11.2 , miles at 60 MPH. and 8.2 miles at 80 MPH. ! : The moral drive slow and save gasoline. ? Help keep a fuel, shortage away. For a number of years there has been talk of the need for. a community recreation cen ter for WaynesV ille and Hazelwood. To have one there must be land to put it on and money to build and support it through the years. There are other problems of detail, but these, we think, are the primary ones which when overcome will make possible the establish ment of a community center. Plans for the center itself, deciding what recreational, fea tures it will include, hinge upon how much money can be secured to carry out the plans. There are two sources of finances for a rec reational project. One is the Young Men's Christian Association type of backing, volun tary membership fees and subsidies from the business firms and corporations. If this type of financing is decUed best for the communi tiesand the fact that there are separate towns of Waynesville and Hazelwood lends favor to this method then the operation of a community center can be conducted by an association of citizens who have no munic ipal office. , The other source of financing is by taxa tion. Tax money is under control of our mayors and aldermen that was the main responsibility we gave them when we put them in office. They are allowed to spend money from sources only on certain expenses. One state law states that the Town Board of Waynesville. for instance, cannot spend money on property outside the town limits. It could not pay tax money' unless an excep tion were granted by the General Assembly to support a community center located solely in Hazelwood. nor can Hazelwood tax money be spent on one located in Waynesville. The consolidation of the communities would over come this obstacle, or it possibly may be overcome by getting a special law passed in the General Assembly or by placing the com munity center where it overlays the area of both towns. Suppose that it was decided that the com munity center should be supported by tax ation, and that a location was found which could receive the financial support of both Waynesville and Hazelwood. Suppose that plans were drawn for the center and the esti mated cost of initial construction were $100, 000. Suppose that Waynesville agreed to pay a certain percentage of this, and Hazelwood the remainder an agreement, which, inci dentally, only the Town Boards have the au thority to make. The boards then are re quired to get permission from the taxpayers to increase taxes sufficiently to secure a loan of $100,000. From a legal standpoint, a rec reation program is not a "necessity" of a town, therefore a Town Board must get per mission in a special election to levy the taxes for support of such a program. If the tax payers voted in favor of the bond issue, and increased taxes, then a community center could be constructed. Its expenses would be set up in the town budgets, and one of the aldermen from each board assigned as "rec reation" commissioner (as there 'are streets, water, police commissioners) who would su pervise this section of the budget and be re sponsible for seeing that the citizens he rep resents get their money s worth. j To get back where we started from, those j who want a community center must face the j difficulties squarely. One will cost a lot of j money, and to have any chance at all in work- j ing to realize the ambition a decision must be made at the start on how the money will be raised: either by voluntary donations and j memberships the YMCA type financing or by taxation. By settling this question, that in itself de cides whose responsibility it is to make the ; plans for the center. If the public is going ' to pay for it, as a legally recognized associa tion, then private citizens with civic clubi representatives and industrial represents? tives. have the authority to,ask for money to j support the cause. If we want a community j center supported by taxation, the Town Boards of Waynesville and Hazelwood are the only groups that can spend the money. If the Town Boards are responsible, then only they can make the plans, or can openly dele gate this right to competent citizens; should pay their expenses for.doing this work and require periodic reports of progress. The possibility of getting a community cen ter for Waynesville and Hazelwood depends on getting started on the right track. There are many difficulties along either route, but once the choice is made as to the method of financing a community center, the obstacles will take definite shape and persons placed in authority to take the proper steps .to meet them, with supporters behind them, and dis senters executing their democratic privilege to oppose.

But thinking too much about your "rights" may be no less mistaken, since your idea of what these are wll seldom be quite the same as your employer's. Keep your mind on what you have a reasonable chance of getting by honest, straightforward methods, and never stop trying. But re member, you will never be pro moted because you have a "right" to promotion from your stand point; it must be because the boss thinks it will be to his advantage to advance you. Your job is to "sell" him this idea. Con a girl be happy with a "changeable" man?

REGENT OF UF.LGll M PLANS OFFICIAL VISIT TO AMERICA By JANE FADS WASHINGTON H e I g i u in 's bachelor regent. Prince Charles, younger brother of the exiled King Leopold, will pay an official visit to Washington in April, and al ready plans are under way to hon or him. The regent, whose full name is Prince Charles Theodore Henri Antoine Meinrad. Count of Flan ders, Prince of Belgium, first vis ited the United Stales just before the war. That visit was unofficial. The last official lielgian visit was that of his father, the late King Albert, who came with Queen Eliz abeth and Leopold in KIl'J They were very popular with the Ameri can people. It is expected Prince Charles will arrive abifut April G and stay in the capital three days. Prince Charles was a colonel in the Belgian army in 1940 and fought with his unit. Interested in Belgian politics, though not ac tively, he remained as "silent anil inconspicuous as possible" during 1 the war years. Leopold surrendered the Belgian j armies to the Nazis the same year his brother was made a colonel. When Leopold left his home for Germany in June 1944. Prince Charles escaped to the Maquis and became identified with their under ground activities. The liberation came on Sept. 1. 1 944. and Charles was elected ic I gent by the parliament, according Jeff May: T don't think the Bi ble should he laugh! in school. Anyone teaching the Bible would naturally show partiality to their own religious sect.
