WHO WANTS "HOUSING''? By GEORGE S. BENSON Stcurcy, litoiwn

THE CENTRAL planner* are at it again. They are getting set to try to push housing legislation through the special session of congress. There is hardly a bill to be considered that the "planners” and socialist • minded experimenters will push harder than a public housing bill. They realize that government housing, and the huge and wasteful spending that goes with it, would put the federal government right ip business. .What is the origin of the idea that our government should subsidize housing and pass the costs of it to the taxpayers? Where does the idea come from that the government of a nation is obliSted to furnish houses and lodgr to its people? These ideas did not originate in America, the land of the free. They came from Europe and from Russia. These ideas have been tried over there. They have never turned out any results, except colossal failure. Promise THE ONLY lasting and Spend effect of European public housing has been public debt. Their projects did not give them more houses, nor eliminate slums, nor provide homes for the poor. However, their experiments did give the Socialists and Communists a free ride to power. Time after time, these political gangs rode, to power on public housing programs—so easy was it to promise and spend, promise and spend. Now, their people Continue to pay heavy taxes for projects long since dead, *- It is amazing that lessons of history are thus ignored, and the American people are asked to turn over their housing problems to the government. Our nation is great today, and our land a

A woman on .a bus suddenly realized she hadn’t paid her fare. “I’U go right up and pay it,” she declared. “Why bother?” her friend replied. “You got away with it—so what?” “I’ve found that honesty always pays,” the other said, and went up to pay the driver. “See, I told you honesty always pays!” she said as she returned. “I handed the driver a quarter and he gave me change for 50 cents.”

You can’t stop some people from thinking wrong; but sometimes you can start them thinking right That’s more important.

land of plenty, because we Americans have bad the initiative to do things for ourselves. We have not been willing, in the past to turn our everyday lives over to an expanding government Our fathers did not stand back and beg the federal government to do everything for them. < Freedom THE BRITISH peoEasily Lost pie have had unhappy times with public housing and subsidies. During the thirties they tried public housing on a large scale. But it was only after government had failed, that private industry came in and produced a real boom in housing. The present Socialist government in England is interested in public housing. It .is routine there to interfere with the liberties and freedoms of the people. The Nevt Ytrk Timet on May 5, carried a short dispatch from a small English town. It said that a carpenter had used his life savings and his own bands to build himself a small cottage, only to have government wrecking crews come m to tear it down because he did not have a permit to build. Demolition crews were called off only after neighbors had petitioned the Prime Minister and considered appealing to the King. The news story indicated that the “Ministry of Town and Country Planning” would have to decide whether the carpenter would be permitted to, live m the house he put up with his own hands. Thirty years ago no Englishman could have thought that his rights and liberties would ever be subject to the whims of a government bureau, like that. It takes centuries to win freedom and liberty, but it is possible to lose the same freedoms almost overnight.

Woman's Reporter Senlamber In Hiatorv 339 years ago on September 4, Hairy Hudson, an English navigator in the employ of the Dutch East India Company, and his crew of 20 men, sailed into the mouth of the broad and beautiful Hudson River. They were searching for a northernly passage to the Orient Hudson sailed as far as what is now the city of Albany. Though he did not find the Orient route he was seeking, Henry Hudson was the first to recognize the importance of the river as a prospective route for traders and colonists. Shortly after his explorations, a trading station was established on Manhattan Island and another at Albany . . . thus the development of commerce on the river was here to stay! Although the Atomic Age become a reality only a few years ago, the man who first elaborated the atomic theory of the elements as a result of physical experiments was born 182 years ago on September 7, 1766. He was John Dalton of Cumberland, England, where at the age of 12 he became a school master. At 20 he was an experimental scientist and at 35 author of one of the most important single generaluations in the history of theoretical and practical chemistry. Dalton studied gasses and their, composition and from his study he drew the conclusion that the elements are made up of tiny particles called atoms and that chemical compounds of the elements are formed by the union of these atoms in simple numerical proportions. This is the Atomic Theory* . .'. the theory that has for years been the guiding principle of chemical study! * The man- who established the first Sunday school was bom on September 14, 1735, 213 years ago. He was Robert Raikes, bom in Gloucester, England. In 1757, he he succeeded his father as proprietor of the Gloucester Journal. Feeling the need of religious education for children, Raikes estab-' lished the first' Sunday school in '■ Gloucester ha 1780. It was designed to help poor children read and understand the Bible.

Just plain consideration for others will solve the problem#« With the exception of lipstick stained butts, which is a prime masculine complaint and easily solved by blotting off excess lip rouge on a tissue, smoking faults are no inspectors of age or sex. The chief violations for a fastidious smoker to check himself on are—ash scattering, stained or chewed butts, overflowinglash trays, butts left to smoulder on table edges or doused in coffee cups or dessert plates, and the smoke screens laid down by nervous smokers.

With an eye to goqd manners, . as well as feminine approbation, the Cigar Institute of America offers a gentle offside hint to its he-man group of smokers. Please, they ask, don’t chew or mangle your cigar or leave it clamped in the teeth during conversation. It’s not fair to your wife or your cigar.
