AUER? 2 Yu: Nevada County Nugget. Wednesday, March 27, 1968 National Library Week April 21-27 will mark the observance of National Library Week. The purpose of this occasion is to encourage the development of lifetime reading habits as the foundation of a better people, Within our nations's libraries are stored all To correct injustices The American Civil Liberties Union has issued a statement on the’ willful violation of valid laws that is worth repeating: "the ACLU believes that the way to correct injustice ina . free society is to change valid laws by persuasion, not by their violation, Freedom to say what one believes, not to do what one wishes, is ,what is protected by the First Amendment. A democratic society is as much in need of compliance by citizens with laws with which they disagree as it is of the freedom to criticize and the means to change such laws. "High motivation and deep-felt conscience may be.the moving force of those who practice civil disobedience.: But this does not mean that those who disobey laws for.less altruistic . motives should be convicted while those who deliberately disobey laws for better-motivated reasons should be acquitted. To make NEVADA COUNTY NUGGET this type of distinction would be to change a nation governed by law to one governed by motivation alone.” Brutal truth A check of what is happening to the average family bud. get is revealing. According to U. S. News & World Report, a married man with two child. ren, earning $7,500 a year or $144.23 a week must now pay a tax and inflation ‘‘squeeze’’ of $35.55 each week. Broken down into individual items, his deductions look like this; federal income tax, $13,19; social security tax, $6.35; state income tax (estimate for typical state), $2.19; sales tax (estimate for typical state), $6.40; local property tax (estimate for typical state), $3.62; inflation tax due to annual rises in living costs, $3.80. The tax and inflation squeeze rises rapidly as family income goes up. This is the brutal truth of rising living costs never recognized in the official solicitude for consumers as manifested in countless proposals for controls and restrictions, The free market and competitive mass‘ distribution provide the best assurance that consumers will continue to enjoy the highest possible living standards ~comminsurate with the times, Much is heard about curbing marketplace. These include such — things as eye-cat packages, promotion and ertising. These frills are the best evidence that the consumer is still king in the supermarket. Advertising and promotion stimulate consumption and lead to higher volume. sales and the lowest practicable prices, This is the secret of mass distribution. In countries where markets are rigidly controlled, there is no need to promote or advertise. There is not enough to go. around anyway. The consumer takes what he can getand considers himself lucky. In countries like the U.S. where the papers are filled with advertisements of food and merchandise bargains, and mer. chants offer such enticements as the popular trading stamp which is redeemable invaluable goods, one may be certain that the economic system is basically healthy. The ‘‘squeeze”’ on our living standards comes from inflation and taxes--nowhere else. Grassroots Opinions CLERMONT, FLA., PRESS: *‘There is a general complaint about ever mounting taxes, inflation and more and more control by government of our business and personal lives. Yet with a few exceptions most ofus lend encouragement to the continued growth of government and the resultant increase of taxes, as well ds the extension of government’s control over our local and national affairs.by our: actions we give our elected representatives little choice but to go along with.plans for an ever expanding governmental structure.”’ The basic crystal of a snowflake is a hexagon composed of 12 molecules which forms in about an hour and drifts slowly to earth. atd oe fe AnGTtS T@ JAD SAD OTIVAES NevadalCounty Rainfall Gauge NEVADA CITY Max.

The government acquires the money through methods of taxation and public funds, that's true, but it seems a far more effective way of educating the youth without placing the added pressure of financial responsibility on the student himself.
