In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
Mishmash in the news:
The other day Queen Elizabeth
nl England paid a ceremonial
visit to the little town of Aber
gavenny in Wales. According to
ancient tradition, when the Queen
of England visits Abergavenny
she must so first to the city
hall. From her carriage to the
door, she must walk on a rich
red carpet. The carpet must be
provided by the town of Abergav
enny. This year il was different.
There was no red carpel. There
was no red carpet because the
town could no longer afford In
buy or rent one. A special tax
would have had to be levied, and
the town fathers came to the con
clusion I hat the people just
couldn't afford to pay any more
taxes.
So
They decided
The Queen would have to walk
this year from her carriage to the
town hall on stone steps painted
with red liquid linoleum. She did
so and everything went off all
right. The Queen was just
as gracious as if she had walked
in over a red carpet, and the
people were much happier than
they would have been if they
had had to dig into their pockets
for more taxes to pay for the red
carpet.
A thought:
If governments EVERY
WHEHE-including the U.S.A.
would follow this example set by
the town council of Aliergavcnny,
I think they would find that less
extravagant government would be
just as efficient as more extrava
gant government, and that the
people who pay the taxes would
be much happier.
