TED AND ARLENE BRAMMER advance. Sometimes those jobs will pile up on the printer and he is unable to get them all done when they may be needed. Pay accounts promptly - most weekly publishers operate on small capital, and while your account may not seem very large to you, multiplied by all accounts it is a rather large sum to the publisher.

Tough on John Wayne The arreit of a group of “Green Bereta" —including high ranking officers—in connec tion with the mysterious disappearance of an equally mysterious "agent” in Vietnam has brought the glamor outfit into the news with a vengeance. The Green Berets were created as a spe cial force of tough guys, specializing in the business of controlling wars of liberation and other odd and often messy jobs around the world. They trained the Bolivian force that put Che Guevara out of the way and broke up his insurgency plans. They have had missions in the Congo and Liberia, in Ethiopia and Laos, in Thailand and many parts of Latin America. They worked with the Kurds in Iran, the Chinese on Taiwan, the montagnards and Chinese and Cam bodian mercenaries in Vietnam. Their work in Vietnam has been storied in books and films and songs. And they’ve done special little jobs for the central in telligence agency. The Washington Post has been having a look at the Green Berets in the wake of the latest Vietnam mystery. It finds that the ÄeMSSROQIS OPINION AZLE, TEXAS, NEWS: “Our men in Washington raised their pay by almost double . ..

But forty one per cent in crease ... I don’t know how they can accept that kind of increase without just a little bit of embarrassment.’’ PERSONALS Mr. and Mrs. C.D. McDowell and Jill of Twin Falls, Idaho were Sept. 12 dinner guests of his sister, Mr. and Mrs. Ber nard Frost. Mr. and Mrs. John Wagner of New Plymouth and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Johnson of Lewiston were also Friday evening dinner guests of the Frost couple. Mrs. Wagner is a sister of Mrs. Frost. Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Burke of Salmon, Idaho visited Sept.22 with the Frosts. They were on their way to Boise. Special Warfare School at Fort Bragg, N.C., where the special forces are trained, is hunting for new aura and dignity. The name has been changed to the John F. Kennedy Center for Military Assistance. Brig. Gen. Edward Flanagan Jr. tells visitors that liis boys are really “assisters—a construc tive force.” A colonel with experience with the Green Berets in Vietnam says angrily that "they have made us look like a bunch of . . . Mafia characters who sit around fingering people to kill.” But it remained for Maj. A. Lincoln German, the center’s training director, to cap the new image the group is trying to attain: “In a way, we’re a kind of a Peace Corps.” Well, that’s going to make John Wayne feel like a chump. He’s been running around jungles, living off reptiles, shooting natives, planning nasty tricks and lecturing against Communists as a Green Beret for some time now—in movie theater after movie theater over the world. How’s he going to take the idea that he was really just doing a Boy Scout job aimed at peace? — The Milwaukee Journal HOUSEWIVES - TAKE NOTE Housewife concern over rising food costs cannot be brushed aside with a once-over lightly. The toll of in- % flation is too apparent in foods, although it is ever present in most consumer items purchased. Not as com monly recognized, but even more forbidding is the share of personal income consumed by taxes of all kinds. Utah Foundation has come up with some interesting data to which all breadwinners should be alerted. To quote: “Despite inflation and the declining purchasing power of the dollar, individuals in the United States spent a smaller proportion of their incomes for food last year than during any previous period in history. The per centage of income going to taxes, on the other hand, reached another all-time high record in 1968. “According to data recently published by the U. S. Department of Commerce, approximately 14.4% of net personal income in the United States went for food pur chases in 1968. By comparison, food took 23.3% of per sonal income in 1930; 21.2% in 1940; 20.2% in 1950; and 17.5% in 1960. “Total taxes paid in the United States last year were equal to 36.6% of personal income during 1968. This compares with 13.6% in 1930; 22.1% in 1940 ; 29.2% in 1950; and 33.6% in 1960.” The Foundation observes that this comparison of the lax burden includes direct taxes, indirect taxes, and social insurance taxes. Direct taxes include taxes paid to governmental units directly by the individaul. Indirect or hidden taxes include those which generally are collect ed or paid by business. Although indirect taxes may not be paid directly to government, they ultimately must be borne by the individual through higher prices or lower wages and dividends. Growing contributions for social insurance programs, such as old-age, survivors, and disability insurance, medi care, unemployment compensation, and railroad retire ment, are of increasing significance in the United States. Since contributions to these programs are not voluntary, they were included with taxes for the purpose of this analysis. qt R - SEPTEMBER, 1969 The 1970 light-your-fire « Buicks are here This one is the GS 455.
