It did. For every day we were on "vacation," the loss to the state's economy was $373,000 which otherwise would have been spent on those four items listed above.

Perhaps, with the problems of crime under control in Wash ington, we could use the same format in other cities. Naturally, we will have to wait and see the results of Mr. Nixon's recom mendations. At first glance, the recommendations would seem to be an answer. But it takes more than a plan.. .more than money it takes men and women willing to put those plans into effect.
