But a beginning has been made. At least, the need for a beginning has-been admitted. The presidents. of the Americas have sat down to discuss their mutual problems and goals. -The vital importance not only of economic but of fundamental social reform as well has —no Andes or ijungles, ‘thecountries of Europe.

(Bye) JENSEN _ ‘The old adage “The Best Things in Life Are Free” seemsto be going much the same way the 2-holer went. That is—there are very few of them left. It's difficult to think of anything thatis free, much jess being “The Best Things.” For instance, you don't see any big signs on service stations advertising “Free Air” anymore. S ppd the ere T get plenty of is—Free advice, and most up costing me money anyway. Boy, with friends like that who needs enemies? ee ee o 8 Speaking of things that cost money, I see in one of Bob Kirkpatrick’s monthly bulletins that an overweight person has to pay-more-for-his life insurance. I didn’t kiiow it but a person that has a weight problem is slapped with an “extra rating” by life insurance companies. : _How about that! It appears that a person who is overweight has more problems than he thinks. First of all, it costs him “extra” for food to keep his weight up and then he ne “extra” for his life insurance, it my friends, disproves another old adage—“All Th World Loves a Fat Man.” ce te 8 Another item in Bob's bulletin (1 sure wished he'd use The Herald for his advertising); states that, “It is estimated that one out of every five adult Americans weighs more than he should. Over five million are obese—that is, they are over 20% heavier than the proper weight for their build.” ‘That's interesting. All this time I thought it was my bathroom scales that was 20% off. ! eee This is a heckava time to bring it up, but I hoy ve noticed that The Herald is ae vaatng caect tomorrow.

I havelived here all my life, and I have always been convinced that the harbor should be improved. Our harbor has unlimited potential in so many areas that it is a tragic waste to depress that potential any longer. I would like to express my gratitude and congratulations first of all to the State Parks Department for their plan. As in any planning of any project, there are details which require further research and planning, but the plan is well drawn, well diversified, and definitely in the interests of the greatest majority of our people. My best regards and compliments go to our City Fathers and the City Recreation De- partment for (1) taking the initiative and having the courage to delye into a project like this. Have we ever known politicians to let itemslike these slide until the next administration? I know. we have, (2) They deserve thanks for finding a way of inducing progress without further bonds or taxes which we the people cannot afford.

It calls for a mere $4.1 billion, up half a billion from the previous year.

Mayor Lindsay was able to pass on to his parishioners some happy thoughts in his current budget message. He said: “T am ing no new _ taxes or increases in existing taxes, The bulk of the additional funds needed, (about half a billion) will be obtained from state and federal aid rather than from local funds.”” This Lindsay budget is up 12.7 per cent over the previous year although there has been no gE 8 s = oe Lines Of Descent Scots and Welshme reel off complex li f descent By -Line fly ll 53!
