He has a long record of achievement in catching them, having brought in more than 100 each season, Just as soon as the weather warms up a bit, we have no doubt but thathe will get busy on this recreation project.

The current trend in government circles ‘to seek strangling controls over advertising as being “econom_ ically wasteful and anti-social” has aroused a powerful protest from Senator Everett Dirksen. Tired o hearing the industry denigrated in the Senate anti-trust and monopoly subcommittee, the Illinois veteran declared recently that moves to control it raise serious questions about freedom of speech and of the press as guaranteed by the first amendment. “Freedom in the market place,” said Mr. Dirksen, “means the right of the people to be informed of what is being offered for sale and the right of the seller to inform the people of what he has to sell. It may be an idea, a product, service — many things. But the advertisement is as much a part of the daily news as any other event that is being reported. Including, as the Senator no doubt would agree, the political statements of advertising’s most vocal enemies. .

And just in case you're feeling a bit chafed at this proposed increase, just consider, in passing, that this is the type request one finds some difficulty in evading. Especially when it's seconded by an IRS — a pocket as big as the Grand Canyon and an appetite to match, . BUT DON'T DESPAIR, FELLOW TAXPAYER! the duration! And anyhow, martinis are fattening and parfaits ditto, And here's a C-sharp of cheer amidst the many mournful notes of the Tax Tune =.you'll end up with a slimmer waistline, flatter hipline, and no unsightly lumps in your pocket, Don't forget, reducing parlors charge more than 6% to accomplish the same end and they don't offer that Pleasant, patriotic glow that goes‘with shelling out to an anxious Uncle Sam, AND WHILE WE'RE CONSIDERING THE HARDSHIPS of handouts, _aletter comes from Marine Gary Bruce Sprinkle, who is deep in Viet Nam and has been wounded twice. Writes Gary; "The only thing I have ever hated over here is the way we live. We are wet 95% of the time. We go out to hunt Charley in rice-paddy water up to our imagination, and the leeches fasten all over us and suckblood: until by the time we crawl out we are one big leech.
