Oregon, for Trans mission through the United States Mails, as a Second Class Matter under the Act of March 3, 1879. What is the Cost of Child Rearing? (The Leavenworth. Kansas. Times) Hey Uncle, how much does it cost to rear a child? You allow us taxpaying parents only $600 a year to feed, clothe, house and train a youngster. In your Federal Government Job Corps you spend $7,000 a year! Now which is the correct figure? Either we're allowing you too much or you're not allowing us enough. You allow taxpaying parents a $600 deduction for the care and feeding of each child . . . Yet under the Cuban refugee program you as sume minimal upkeep requires $1200 a year — and if the Cuban boy or girl is attending school — an extra $1000 a year. How come you shortchange the homefolks? In the austere environs of federal prison, you have discovered that it costs — to maintain one person, with no frills, no luxuries, and no borrow ing Dad's car — $2.300 a year! By what rule-of-thumb do you estimate that Mom and Dad can do it for one-fourth that amount? Under Social Security, you will pay $168 a month to maintain the elderly. What makes you think we can maintain our young'uns for $50 a month? And Uncle, your VISTA Program (Volunteers in Service to America) spent $3.1 million this last fiscal year to turn out only 202 trainees. That indi cates that the cost of maintaining and training one youth for one year is more than $15,000. Then how come we taxpaying parents get an exemption of only $600 to maintain and train one youth for one year? Or let's see how much you spend upkeeping one youngster in military uniform. House $55.20 a month. Food $30.27 a month. Clothing upkeep $4.20 a month. That comes to $1.076.04 a year. How in the world do you expect parents to pro vide all these things plus clothes, recreation, book^. medicine . . . for $600 a year? With your own fig ures, you admit it can't be done. It is possible. Uncle, that you expect us parents to manage more efficiently than you, because we usually do. With all our expenses, we American individuals have more than enough savings to offset our debts; you don't. With all our prosperity, you. Uncle are still spending per year $2.9 billion more for relief than during the depths of the Depression. So it may be that you are uncommonly extravagant. But however we try to rationalize and explain to you and excuse you. it is still a hardfull affront when you allow us hard-working, dues-paying, homefolks only $600 a year to rear a legitimate child. While you. under ADC, will pay more than $800 a year to upkeep an illegitimate one. Bernard Frost Ends 41 Years in the Army!

Since I was a pup I used the same toothpaste. So my wife reads ads about toothpaste that stops decay. Nothing will do but we use this new stuff. Sure, the kids don’t have cavities any more but this new toothpaste sure doesn’t taste to me like the old days. Thanks to advertising. Take washing machines and dryers and all that jazz. These women read ads about saving work and time so they got appliances all over the place. I figure they haven’t got enough to do anyway. Nuts to advertising. If you want to get right down to it, take all this advertising my competition runs. These characters run ads with prices so low I got to run my own ads and practically give the stuff away. It’s the only way I can get people in to buy my stuff. Advertising is a heck of a way to run a business. Advertising is for the birds. It gives the customer all the breaks. Speaking for myself, the only time I ever read it is when I’m going to buy something and need to find out where I can get the best buy. The only time it pays to be advertised at is when you’re going to buy something.

The House Natural Resources Committee has sent to the floor a bill that gives the State San itary Authority considerable control over field burning. The bill reauires farmers to obtain burning permits from local fire chiefs or the Borad of County Commissioners.
