It has happened before and last Friday it happened again. Last week we took a number of pictures for use in this week's paper. Most important were those showing the pouring of the cement at the new fire station. We had a full set to that point, from the digging of the foundations to the cement work, and had hoped to continue to the finished job and make a presentation to the department when the job is completed. Then, we had a number of photos showing Margery Mackerel! and Bob and Mildred Draper That same Congress which will be so considerate and will explain so carefully that they just had to allow these poor underpaid folk to have their raises is the Congress which wrote the law and they knew exactly what they were doing. They seem to have forgotten, however, they they, of all the people in the world, can do something about inflation. They arc the people who pass the laws which are the single greatest cause of inflation in the world. Their pious talk about consideration for these other officials sounds a little sick to me and I find myself disgusted with the thought of their perfidy. As far as I am concerned, the best suggestion 1 ever heard for controlling inflation came some thirty years ago from a miner and County Commissioner Fred Harris as they were giving and Fred was receiving the pictures and the relief map of Fort Cameron. On Friday night, because couldn't get away, I . made arrangements with Diane to take pictures at the Beaver-Milfor- d game. Because the roll of film was about finished, I had her take an extra roll of film so she could if Sure change necessary. enough, she took a couple of shots and came to the end of the roll. She tried to return the exposed film into the cassette and thought it didn't feel or sound right, but finally decided it must be all returned. She opened the camera and found the film had broken and it was all exposed to the light and ruined. what we could, We've but they leave a void in the presentation and construction 1 at the U.S. Mine at Bingham. It had been two years since the mine had signed a contract with the union and it was time to negotiate a new one. My friend and I were discussing this when he said, "1 personally don't give a damn for an increase in pay.. I'd rather see a reduction in the cost of living. Every time we get a raise the store boosts their prices and rent goes up so that we end up with a little less than we had before - I'd rather see prices held in line and I'll get by on the money I'm paid now." Since Congress and the Presi- working -- re-sh- dent and these other overpaid, underworked folk in Washington do have the power to do more to control inflation than anyone else in the world, I would suggest that their salaries be frozen at the present level, not to be reviewed for at least fifty years. Since the folk who have to pay the real cost of inflation are those on fixed incomes such as Social Security, I suggest that all federal and state retirement programs be rewritten so that the employers' contribution can be no more than what it would be if the employee were covered under Social Security. I would further suggest that tax credit be allowed for no more than the Social Security contribution on the employer side in private retirement programs. I might be mistaken, but I feel quite sure that if it were made jobs. We notice that the Presidential Salary Commission has come out with its recommendation concerning salaries for high governmental officials - with recommended increases averaging -- 34.5. These increases include raising salaries of members of Congress from their present $44,600 to $57,500 per year; the Chief Justice is to be boosted from $65,600 to $80,000, while associate justices are to struggle along with a boost from $63,000 to $77,500. The Vice President is to be raised from his present $65,000 to $80,000 and judges of ! the Federal District Courts are recommended for raises from the present $42,000 to $62,000 yearly. These raises are to go into effect unless the president or the Congress moves to stop them. Tying the salaries of Congress to those of the other officials was ' done in order that Congressmen 'could say that they had to allow the raises to go through or they would have kept these other people from receiving raises they jjso richly deserved.

It would be a good idea to include salaries of executives in industry - which would have to include other benefits such as stock options, etc., in a freeze. If the salaries of those people and government officials were frozen, it is my belief that inflation would suffer the same fate. -- Historical Calendars - $1 Beaver County Historical Calendars for 1976 are still available at the Press Office for SI each.
