Montaigne. The end for which all govern ments are supposed to be found ed, is the happiness of mankind. Nothing in our government (its Constitution or laws) is sacred, other than the good to be found therein: such as makes for peace, progress and prosperity; that which destroys special privilege and preserves equality of opportunity. The political institutions of old Europe were designed to render the poverty of the mass es perpetual. While the barons and landed gentry lived in rustic plenty, the mass of the people, always subject to the will of their masters, lived in poverty and misery. Property rights were consid ered sacred, and protected by most brutal laws; but no particu lar value was placed on human life except where those of the privileged classes were con cerned.

King at Work A8 CHIPS fly, bird flies After two local husbands, Zsa Zsa decided to go into movies and eince then has never been shy about what gets into print. But Eva chose the theater and television in New York and she prefers to be a more iedate Gabor. "Zsa Zsa can have r.il that publicity," said the youngest Gabor with dignity. "If she likes it, that's fine. But I have my own likes. I am very serious about my career. Ro mance?" she trilled. "I am too busy. I could not have time for all that." Eva (pronounced Ava) ar rived in Hollywood to star in a summer stock version of a play, "Strike A Match," at nearby La Jolla. Then she plans to make some TV movies in Europe, and possibly. return to Broadway. She wouldn't mind being a movie star, either, and has no fears of invading Zsa Zsa's ter ritory. "This is a big world, darling," the brown-eyed actress shrug ged. "There Is room in Hollywood for both of us. "Really, do you think it would make any difference? Olivia De Havilland and Joan Fontaine are both actresses and I think they look quite a bit alike. I think Zsa Zsa and I look quite different," she reflected. La Bruyere, in describing con ditions in France, in the reign of Louis XIV (1700), said: "Certain wild animals, male and female, are scattered over the fields, black, livid, all burned by the sun, bound to the earth they dig and work with patient pertinacity; they have a sort of articulate voice and, when they rise to their feet, show a human face, in fact, they are men." The political institutions of England, under William the Con queror, were calculated to ren der perpetual the poverty of the common man. An over balanced respect for the property rights of the privileged classes was handed down to the American colonies, and reflected in our federal and state Constitutions. It was but around 100 years ago that 23,000,000 serfs were liberated in Russia. Serfdom was in existence in Germany In Bismarck's time. Lincoln was among the first Completed Pintail Duck Is Mounted with Its Mate Scituate. -R. I. Allen J. King, 71, can carve 400 vari eties of sporting birds, in mini ature, out of wood, and the way he explains it, it's pretty simple. "First I make a sketch of the bird on paper," he says. "Next I draw an outline of the bird on a piece of wood. Then I sit and look first at one and then at the other, and make up my mind how far I've got to go into the wood to find the rest of the bird." The birds, products of King's skilled hands, have migrated all over the United States. In his middle 50s, King was working for a Providence taxi dermist. He got to thinking what a nuisance stuffed birds some times can be. It occurred to him that miniature wooden birds might be better. So he set about looking for them in pieces of wood and sure enough, there they were. Then he carved and painted their plumage and mounted them on bases of weathered wood which he finds in the nearby woodlands. He "finds" the birds in pattern-makers' pine. "Of course," explains King, "I've tinkered at art all my life." Such tinkerings Include water colors, oils block prints, etch ings and dry points. He also cuts bird silhouettes.

Eva also is a beautiful blonde like Zsa Zsa. Both enjoy talking. Zsa Zsa gracefully slaughters the English language. Eva, however, disap points any - listeners expecting some Gabor-isms. "My English is quite good," she beamed. The exploits of Zsa Zsa, Eva and sister Magda have been duly noted ever since a national mag azine detailed their adventures in America. "Ah, I did not like that!" cried Eva. "We are suing them. "And after that writer lived under my mother's roof for weeks and accepted our hospl tality while he did the story," she sighed. to declare that a nation could not endure half slaves and half free. Human freedom and progress has had to slash its way through Ignorance, superstition, intoler ance, greed and avarice, in jus tice and power. "A Democracy," said Harvey W. Scott, "in finding its way, gropes in the darkness of passion and Ignorance but, finally, by its own force, is sure to take the best way yet, most of the time, because it exhausts all possible means of going wrong." The masses rarely look be neath the surface; thus they see only the obvious', the superficial and vote accordingly; too oft en they let an ounce of custom or prejudice out-weigh a ton of reason. We need not be surprised therefore, to see them succumb to some pure delusion. Have not millions marched to the slaugh ter in an effort to make Napo leon and Hitler great? By keeping these things in mind, one will never be sur prised at anything that happens. The intelligent among us, who neglect to cast their ballots at election time, and for the better candidates, will receive their punishment by having to live under a wasteful government controlled by corrupt or medi ocre men. While we render obedience to government and law, we should remember, at the same time, that as they exist only by the peoples' consent, they, the people, have a right to examine their principles, to watch over their execution, and preserve the structure of their political sys tem by pointing out (through the exercise of free speech) such defects as the hand of time never fails to spread over, the wisest of human institutions." We waste altogether too much time in an endeavor to teach other governments how to con duct their political affairs. It could better be spent putting our own house in order, and in keep. ing the rats from gnawing at our own haystacks. We should not slumber too long in the tents of our lathers: "New occasions teach new du ties. Time makes ancient good uncouth."
