iuRSDAY, OCTOBER fjJ, 1963 -5? MOVE THAT CAR I By Harold Gluck >v *# THE big man was as angry an a bull and you could see the veins bulging up at his neck. He knew a police prowl car would be around just phoned headquarters. He - walked right up to the small thin man wearing a pair of horned eye glasses. "What's the matter with you? Can’t you read English?" "Read English?” repeated the small man. ’T am a professor of English literature at the state uni versity.” •" "Just a little wise guy trying to be smart,” snapped back the big man. "I’m sick and tired of your type. The sign says NO PARKING. Your car is blocking my driveway. 1 can’t get my car out. What’s the matter with people. No considera tion for others. Go and move that car.” "You forgot to say Please,” cor rected the small man. "I like peo pie to be polite when they request another to do a favor. And especial ly when the person is a stranger.” "Go on and push that-car with your two hands. Perhaps that will teach you a lesson,” ordered the big man. "And if you weren't such a small guy. I’d break you in cwo.” The police prowl car drew up to the side of the parked car and the Sergeant came up to the big man. " \ 6 "Received your phone call at headquarters, L got'it on my short wave. I'll put a summons on this car ” RENEWS IT IS reported in Washington that the retail-sales-tax idea which the administration entertained for several weeks received such vio lent reaction from-4he public it actually scared its proponents. It was for this reason that President Eisenhower promised that the gov ernment would not seek to put a sales tax on articles when the re tailer sells them. The Treasury Department is now studying a plan to put a sales tax at the manufacturers’ level. It has been pointed out that such a *tax would be passed on to the consumer in higher prices. At the moment it is predicted that the reaction to such a tax will be as great as against the retail tax and the ad ministration will drop the idea. Os all its problems, taxation is the biggest headache facing the administration. The G.O.P. cam paigned on the promise of lower taxes, a balanced budget, and free enterprise. As yet the administra tion has been unable to meet the lower taxes promise. It finds itself unable to balance, tha budget because of rising costs of government operation, foreign commitments, and national secur ity. It can not reduce taxes without a balanced budget and it can not balance the budget with reduced taxes. ♦ As a result the administration baa been searching for away to eliminate unpopular taxes and sub stitute other measures not so un popular. Here again it faces an Impossible taxes. The seed has been planted that taxes should be reduced. The natural result has been that all taxes are unpopular. That is not a new thought as far aa the American people are con SAVE MONEY ON MEALS r■' . o . with this low-cost recipe BEEF PINWHEEIS *- with muvard nut* 1 .gg, b«,».n 1 lb. ground boos Vi e. milk or b.tf .lock 2 mod. oniom, chopped fine 1 ttp. toll V* «• chopped fine Vi Up. pepper t* Mix all ingredients until well blended.

I'd like to have him do it with his own two hands.” "There fs a city ordinance which prohibits the parking of a car in front of a private or public drive way.

He advanced belligerently towards the small man. "And why won't you move that car?” "Because It isn't mine," was the simple but rather determined reply. There was a deadly silence. The Sergeant had to think of some thing while his face was turning red. “What were yotl* doing outside of this man's house?

For instance, Stevenson recently suggested that a nonaggression pact with Russia might be a good thing to relieve tension in Europe. Later, after a call at the White House, Stevenson reported that the President to be "very interest L in the plan. , ■ * Stevenson said of the plan I Russia was unwilling to accept Hu proposal it would be rather appar ent that her peaceful professions aren’t as sincere as they might seem,” He added: It would put the Russians on the spot with respect to their intentions. • • * • • The fact that the Americar. people are more religious than al any In their history is sub stantiated by a recent report of thi National Council of the Churche* of Christ in the U.

The revised version of the Bibli is the book of 15 years by 32 sejiol ars and was authorized by 40 Prpt.. estant denominations. It has been received by waves of praise, ai well as bitter criticism. However, ; it has been approved by mosl major church bodies, including many that did not participate in the project. r— i„ 'll r t ——- The Ant Lion Seems To Be A Shiftless Critter - By Wendell A. Hinkey A trolley line near where I lived as a boy was called the, "iiananar line” by all who Hived near it because the trolleys al-[ ways came in bunches. Questions about various objects in the out. of-doors seem to be of somewhat similar nature often since sever al people may notice a particular phenomehon and ask about it all within, a few days, in such a category is the an.t lion. , In the dry woods or under a porch where it is dusty one may notice small funnel-shaped holes in the soft earth of various siz es up to almost three inches across. Digging at the base one can find a small insect with lar ge .curved jaws. This is the lion of the insect world—the ant lion. The funneLformed hole U built in soft loose sand or hu mus, with the sides just as steep l as the loose particles of soil will' allow. When an ant or some oth er small insect tumbles into this trap the grains of sand offer no foothold but rather roll down ward at any attempt of the ant to climb out. When the victim reaches the bottom the waiting j lion siezes if, renders it helpless by a paralyzing fluid, and then sucks the body juices, after which it flips the empty carcass c ut of the trap with a quick jerk of its. powerful jaws. If a vic tim in falling info the trap does not seem to be falling fast eno ugh or is making some headway in climbing out the ant lion which has been alerted by the moving grains of soil that have reached the bottom sehds a shower of sand toward it to help bring the hoped for dinner with, in reach. Though I have watch ed at the site of ant Hon traps for long stretches at a time I have never seen an £nt. clumsy enough to fall into one. But ants that have been captured and de liberately placed within the funnel seldom escapes. The ant lion makes its pit by going round round with its head in the center tossing the A,a»j| ; out over its back until it gets ft conical hole large enough to, suit its needs. So many of the' preda tors in the animal world are pursuing creatures with the abi lity to run, leap, fly or otherwise catch their prey, but the ant lion is among those few that |>«EASy| Spp-TT" BY HELEN HAH WHEN you're seasoning meat balls and want Ahem to have distinctive flavor,;try "soaking some herbs in milk before adding them to the meat mixture. * Steak and onions go together but usually the onions are fried Why not try some baked ones for a delightful change?

I wait probably for long unevent | ful lengths of time till a victim i falls into, the jit it has dug, and . ffvgp then it does not go forth .and sleze the prey but showers ■it with-sand to bring it to its jaws. It would be hard to ima_ gine a beast of prey of any kind that-could be more sedentary. Even spider* run out on their webs after an insect is caught and make sure of its capture by winding it in siik or by parali zing it. ' Like many insects the ant lion is known mostly in its larval or immature stage. As an adult it resembles the slimmer type of dragon fly often called the dam sel fly, but unlike the dragon fly it is nocturnal in habit and is abroad only at night and hence seldom seen and even less recog nized as the adult form of the ant lion. [ If put in a shallow box with an inch or two of dry sand ant lions may be kept for observa tion. They will dig cut their traps over night and be lying in wait for the ants or house flies that you drop in from time to I time. I must add that they are I not recommended as a substitute fly trap instead of the usual preventive measures of fly con trol, since the number of flies that would fall into such a trap by accident would be dissapoint. ingly few.
