But despite his wisdom, wis-dom, it is doubtful that he would have even attempted to render decisions on some of the laws passed by the American legislators. legis-lators.

Harder pense to the taxpayers, the taxpayers tax-payers of ancient Israel would probably have chased him into in-to the hills. i Perhaps nothing better illustrates illus-trates futility of seeking to solve all human problems by legislation than a recent incident in-cident in the State of Washington. As a part of the legal attempt at-tempt to eliminate discrimination, discrimin-ation, Congress passed laws and set up a Federal commission commis-sion to ferret out discrimination discrimina-tion in employment and invoke the newly passed laws. Many states have set up similar commissions, with good salaries, salar-ies, expenses, et al. Two ladies, aged 35 and 32, complained they have been relieved re-lieved of their jobs as cocktail waitresses because of discrimination discrim-ination against age. Not so, said the employer. The reason for the dismissal was that the ladies lacked the degree of sexiness needed for the job. National Federation nf Independent Bualnem This, of course, led to a full scale study of the situation. The first point to be decided was whether or not aptitude as a cocktail waitress involved sexiness. This point was decided deci-ded in the affirmative. Next was to determine how one goes about determining sexiness. Apparently the august body of commissioners decided that it would be quite a formidable job to define precisely what constitutes sexiness. The commission debated at what age do women present a sexy appearance. Their decision was quite profound. pro-found. They ruled that while some older women do possess a satisfactory degree of sexiness, sexi-ness, It is usually more common com-mon with younger women. But on the other hand, the commission commis-sion pointed out, not all younger young-er women have sexiness. The upshot of the entire proceedings pro-ceedings was that they upheld the right of the employer to dismiss the two waitresses, aged 35 and 32, on the grounds they were not sexy enough for the job. However, their ruling did not indicate whether women wom-en aged 35 and 32 are considered consid-ered non-sexy. Thus, there is one more example ex-ample put on record for the comfort of payers of taxes to federal and state governments. govern-ments. Their money is being wisely spent. What is more important im-portant than having groups of highly paid officials ready at all times to ponder on such weighty questions as to what constitutes sexiness in a cock-' cock-' tail waitress. The ramparts are being watched. |
