In every day language that means that 17.7 cents out of every dollar we earned went for taxes before a cent was spent for rent, food, clothing or any thing else.

FIRST ENGLISH CHURCH AND FIRST ENGLISH FORT RESTORED ON ORIGINAL SITES AT ROANOKE ISLAND, NORTH CAROLINA The First English Church in America Pictured above Is Old Chapel, reproduced according to .the most authentic records of the Chapel originally erected by the "Lost Colony," which settled at Roanoke Island, North Carolina, in 1587. The 100 men, 12 women and 9 children, which made up this Colony completely disappeared, the only traces left being a few broken pieces of armor and the word "Croatoan” carved on a tree. One of the members of the Colony was Virginia Dare, the first child bom of English parents in Amer ica, August 18th. 1587. The restored Chapel will contain the few remaining relics of the ill-fated Colony. The .350th anniversary of the "Lost Colony” will be com memorated at Roanoke Island, North Carolina, in a series of celebrations from July 4th to September 4th. By special act of Congress, a commemorative half dol lar has been minted and a stamp honoring the 350th anniversary of the birth of Virginia Dare will be issued. The First English Fort in America ; Above Is pictured “The Block House” restored on the site of the original, which was built by the first English colonists to arrive in America at Roanoke Island. North Carolina. Governor John White, leader of this first English settlement in the new world, sailed for Eng land for additional supplies. Upon his return four years later the entire Colony had disappeared and no living member was ever heard from again. He describes .the “Block House” as "A place veix strongly enclosed with a high palisade of great trees, with curtains and flankers and very ‘fort-like’,” Washington Snapshots 4 Coat'd from front page) who was afraid to speak his mind usually didn’t have a mind. And he practiced what he preached. »*** For a . loltg time, politicians in j Washington thought Garner s activi ty was just a flash in the pan. They I figured t>.at eventually he would 1 settle down and become a typical i Vice President. But they figured I wrong. Several times be has pulled chestnuts out of the hottest fire I Congress could build, and a real Con gressional fire is plenty hot. For example, Congress several I years ago passed the Vinson-Patman bill, which would have called for the issuance of new money to pay the bonus. The administration was down right worried, especially when the House re-passed it over a Presiden tial veto. Most Senate chiefs threw up their hands in despair. Not Gam er. He went to work, and it was lar gely due to his efforts that the Sen ate sustained the veto. If Garner had had his “druthers,” he probably wrould have said: I’d ruther see the bonus paid.” But Gar ner is the type of man who can put bis tongue in his cheek and act one way when he thinks another—IF he believes that he can win eventually. Thus, while opposing a bonus bill one year, he was highly instrumen tal in putting another bill through a few months later. Shortly after Senator Robinson of Arkansas died, the President cancel led his usual week-end fishing-boat ins trip. The explanation was that the "Far Eastern situation” had him worried. Upon which, a Nation al Press Clubber, who is either sus picious or cynical, remarked: “Sure* i The Capitol, where Senators ar^ con sidering the Supreme Court bill, is exactly 15 1-2 blocks east of the White House. A bothersome ‘Far Eastern situation' all right.” Garner apparently believed the same thing, for he cajne back from Arkansas aboard the Robinison fun (era! train. He immediately went to work at the job of finding some sort j of a “compromise’ between the Pree | ident and "the boys.” He worked so | hard that after three conferences he : had to shuck his shirt. **** j All of this may be surprising to a ! lot of folks who know that Garner left Washington for Texas only a few\ weeks ago because he disliked the whole plan to enlarge -he #u-, prente Court and would have none of | it. But one of his close friends, whc has known him for years, erplains it this way: “Garner is a product of machine politics. He believes in at least sur face loyalty to the titular boss of that machine. He thinks that -with Robinson dead it is necessary for him to forget personal' convictions r.nd -pitch in. He would rather do the job.himself than turn it over to some ho couUVnt trust. Like Robinson, his heart isn’t really in this job. He may do it strictly under cover, but when the time comes he’ll either see that his personal convictions pre vail and start kicking, or he'll go back to his ranch and business in Texas. If he starts kicking, you can bid good-bye to any court-packing scheme that is anywhere near effec tive.” Too Much Legislation By RAYMOND PITCAIRN Kuliotuil Chairmun _Sentinels of the Republic . At the opening sessions of our pres ent Congress, more than 2,000 bills were submitted in the fond hope that they would be enacted into law. The total continues to rise. What do these measures propose? Many things—from reckless experi ments with our Constitution, to minor relief bills which would dip deeply into public funds for the benefit of con stituents pressing a wide variety of lemands. But is all that legislation and word ige either good or necessary? Obviously uot. What the average American wants >f Congress can be expressed m lar 'ewer words and measures. It includes: Continued protection In the rights ;uaranteed him under the Constitution —among them freedom of religion, of speech and of the press. Opportunity to conduct his own affairs and live his own life, unharried by edicts from appointed bureau chiefs or coercion by minority groups. Relief from needless extravagance in government, which must ultimately be paid out of increased taxes on both his present and his future earnings. A sincere respect for the Constitution of the United States, under which this nation has surpassed all others in the freedom and the well-being of its people. These desires are comparatively few. They impose no great strain on Con gress. And if met they will do much not only to retain our successful form of government,, but to smooth and broaden the path toward recovery which all America seeks to tread. Too much legislation can block rather than widen that path. Salisbury, July 28.—George. L,.
