H-he Truth Is ... .
Many people have strange mis-
conceptions about cats and ax
they talk to friends and relatives
- L about their pets, a goodly num-
ber of these untruths are per-
petuated. Here are some popu-
larly held notipns about cats that
are just so much "fancy.”
Some people think that cats
have nine lives. The truth is that
cats have no more lives than any
other ahimal. It is probable, how-
ever, that pets are living longer
these days due to improved care
and a balanced food.
Some people think that cats
! should eat lots of red meat. Ac-
tually pets need the nutrients
meat provides, but they must
have others too. The best food
for Kitty is a commercially pre-
pared "complete meal”—dry ra-
tion. fed straight or mixed with
canned tuna for cats-with the
bones removed.
Some people think that cats
lov fish and must be fed milk.
Some cats like both of these
foods; others just don't. It you
serve Kitty fish, do so as a sup-
plementary rafibn and remove all
the bones.
Other people think that table

Would you like to be able to
switch room decor with the
seasons’’
It's easy to do, and not par-
ticularly expensive The trick is
accomplished with two color
schemes, one in cool sea blues
and mint greens for spring and
summer The other color scheme
revolves around warm winter
shades like deep red, antique
gold, olive and shades of brown.
The furniture isn’t changed
when the color scheme is
switched from winter to sum-
mer Instead, chairs and sofas
are slipcovered in the summer
shades and accents are added
with small rugs and accessories.
It's amazing what a change this
little trick makes — and how
much wear is saved on the orig-
inal upholstery
The key to success is in having
walls that let you make the color
■witch Decorators suggest wood
paneling, particularly softwoods
like Idaho white pine, western
red cedar and western hemlock
which complement virtually any
color scheme, yet remain impor-
tant and handsome in them-
selves These woods have won
derfully rich coloring, yet they're
light in tone
If vertical grain boards are
chosen, the choice of patterns
for upholstery and slip covers
won't be limited
it seems that, sortie people
can live up to their highest
ideals without ever getting out
of the basement.

It is a matter of grave concern to me that continual federal
deficit spending--the paying out of dollars the government
does not have--has driven the cost of living ever upward.
For a majority of Fexas wage earners, 1965‘s Income tax cuts
have been more than offset by the ever-increasing cost at
living and by Increased Social Security taxes.
A normal Texas family will have to earn more money this
year just to stay even with its purchasing power of 1963. If
your family income was $6,000 back in 1963, you will have to
earn $175 mre tills year just to maintain your 1963 standard
of living.
Just a brief look around us shows us that our dollar which
was worth 100 cents in 1955 is now an 85-cent dollar. It takes
more dollars to buy the things we need.
In die last ten years our food dollar has dropped to 85 cents.
Our rent dollar is now an 87-cent dollar.
Our clothing dollar is now a 93-cent dollar. -
Our medical-care dollar is 73-cent dollar.
L Our home-building dollar is an 82-cent dollar. ■
Our college-cost dollar is now a 76-cent dollar.

as they pursue their jobs from year to year, becoming more
proficient and more productive. They expect--and quite rightly--
to use those increased earnings to improve their standard of
living; to buy things the> need and want, and to send their
children to college.
Certainly, they do not expect their federal government to
rob from them by its unwise policies that improved standard
of living. Yet this is precisely what inflation is doing.

shortage of harvest workers left many vegetables rotting in
the fields--with resulting higher prices to consumers.

with resulting inflation which cheapens the worth of every
dollar. The federal government must attempt to live within
its income--just as a family must do.
