Can the residents o East Carbon cooperate in respect to the water shed? It will be impossible to police the entire area thoroghly and we must not allow swimming in our culinary water sources. Toilet facilities for picnickers must not encroach on the water shed. Does the availability of adequate water mean community efforts in behalf of a municipal swimming pool for the East Carbon area can be successful?

Mr. Coudert and Mr Wilson have the right idea sand Congress should act on it. con- tinuing nationalization or socialization of American enterprise.

Mr. Couderts ideas seem to be similar to those ot tormer mobilization director Charles E. Wilson, who proposed some months ago that government enterprises be taken over by a corporation in which the people could buy shares. Regardless of the method followed, here is one way that that national debt can be reduced by billions, and the drain on the treasury these e socialistic enterprises concan be elinated. tinually impose Moreover, once they were owned and operated by private enterprise, they could go back on the tax rolls to the direct benefit of every taxpayer in the country.

It listed the last date for renewing drivers licenses, and tilings like the dates for registering to vote, when the hunting and fishing seasons open even suggested you note down the wifes birthday, too. I figured dates like these were important to keep in mind and this was a good way to do it. Unfortunately, it now turns out I never really paid close attention to my own calendar Not til today that is so here I am not able to drive the car this weekend until I get my drivers license renewed on Monday! From where I sit, I guess good advice, like charity, should begin at home. Im always advising all of you to worry less about your neighboro (what they do, or say, and whether or not they should enjoy a temperate glass of beer) and pay more attention to whether you yourself are doing the right thing. Guess Ill make a note to follow my own formula ! 1 He who thinks for himself, and rarely imitates, is a free man. 06 Copyright, 1953, United States Brewers Foundation tax-fre- Let your Utoco dealer help you to take better care of your car.
