WHAT WOMEN CAN DO
If you want to see an inspiring cross, section of progress at
the reports of the Gerflral Federation of Women's Clubs'
bui Id-a-better-community contest. One of the judges com-
mented that the record of community achievement these re-
ports afford should go to the Library of Congress.
There could be no finer example of citizen cooperation for
the common good thon these projects show. Even if no prize
hod been offered, every community would still have realized
its most needed improvements. And even if the goal of im-
provements hod not been ochieved, the experience of putting
forth united community effort for a good purpose would have
been on accomplishment in itself grid would have brought
its own reward
But thanks to the Kroger Company of Cincinnati, the win-
ners have $60,000 in prizes, ond thanks to the quality of
effort put forth, the communities which participated—wheth-
er or not they won—all have big gains to show for their
participation.
The General Federation of Women's Clubs is to be con-
gratulated for its foresight and good judgment in sponsoring
this constructive do-it-yourself project in a day when people
need to Be reminded that individual initiative built the United
States and must continue to keep it .strong—Christian Science

BLACK BLIZZARDS
Dust storms have ogain made their appearonce on the
Great Plains. From Texas up through Kansas ond Nebraska
the block blizzards raged this week, reviving memories of the
1930s when thousands of ocres of valuable top soil went with
the wind Whether Ijistory will repeat this year cannot be
foretold, but the stage is set There has been a drouth through-
out much of the Great Plains. Land which has been subjected
to intense cultivation for a decade is dry ond ptewdery. Thou-
sands of ocres of it should never have been broken to the
plow
In part it is the price we may pay for having been the
breadbasket of the world during and since the war. In great-
er measure, however, it is the penalty imposed for disregard-
ing the lessons of nature. More important for the future, it
should be a pertinent reminder that we-need to get on with
the task of soil conservation in the notion—and in this state.

New Taxes Would
Hit Low Income
Groups In U. S.
If all personal income* in ex-
cel* of <10,000 • yaar ware confis-
cated* by Uncle Sam, it would
barely rite him the additional
money needed to wipe out the $6tt
billion deficit and finance the $1
billion first year’s cost of the new
Federal spending program pro-
posed in the 1961 budget
Since the nation faces a choice
of submitting to higher taxes or
reducing Federal spending if Un-
cle Sam is to live within his in-
come, the Council of State Cham-
bers of Commerce pointed up some
of the difficulties in increasing
Federal revenue*.
■ This study revealed that if, for.
instance, the Federal Government
set $50,000 as the maximum in-
come that could be retained by in-
dividuals and took outright all iiR
come above* $50,000, it would get
only about $843 million more than
it get* now from present take* on
those incomes. This $843 million
would he enough to run.the Federal
Government only one Week. •
Or suppose Uncle Sam called
$25,000 the most anyone could
have and took everything made
above that figure. That would give
the Government a little over $2
billion in additional revenue. This
s just a little less than the Gov-
ernment intend* to spend qn agri-
cultural activities and subsidies
allone in 1951,
But of course. Uncle Sam would
never think of taking such a big
tax bite because he knows he would
destroy all personal incentives to
earn that much again. *
The survey showed further that
in spite of the high taxes on in-
comes of $100,00 and over, Uncle
from 10,844 persons with such in-
Sam collected only $1.2 billion
comes in 1947 which is the latest
year for which complete statistics
are available. This total was only
6% pera cent of all income taxes
paid that year. And tax rates on
incomes over $100,000 that year
ranged Horn 67 per cent to as high
as 91 per cent.
On the other hand, 51 million
taxpayers reporting incomes of
les* than $5,000 in 1047 paid $8Mi
billion which is 48 per cent or al-
most half of the income taxes col-
lected that year.
The Council said, ‘‘Thera is no
getting around the fact that any
additional burden of tax-* must
fall on the lower income group*.
They have only two choices: sub-
mitting to more taxes or demand-
ing cuts in present spending with
a halt to new spending.**
"Folks who hove

no voices have very^few virtues."—
"Until the Americpn people realize how costly it is for
the government to do things, ond begin to refuse the largess,
subsidy, etc , offered by the Government, we cannot expect
much reduction in government expenses."—Clayton Record,
Alabama
"The governors of the various states con . . . cause the
people to realize that when a dollor is taken from them in
taxes, only a small port of that dollor trickles back to the
state in Federal aid. It makes big government in Washing-
ton and makes beggars of the states."—James F. Byrnes.

Ringworm Infection
Spreads Rapidly Says
State Health Officer
It it a 50-50 bet that you have
aome sort of ringworm infection.
Check to see. Chance* are it will
be in your icalp hair, on your
groin, or on your feet—either on
the soles, or between the toe*. If
ycu don’t find it, you’re lucky, be-
eauae while it isn’t serious, its
itching and persistence is very an-
noying.
A fungus—the same one that
causes food to mold—causes ring-
worm. It’s one of the world”* moat
common ailments, with authorities
estimating that half of the world’s
population it affected. It is more
common this time of year than
any other.
Animala get it too. As a matter
of fact, cata, dogs, rabbits, mice,
and fowl* are frequently the
(source of infection in man. A child
play* with an infected dog, the
dog’s hair brushes the child, and
the child stand* an excellent chance
of ringworm infection. ,
The scale* which are formed can
cause new infections on the body,
so an infected person has to be
careful to keep it from epreading.
Advanced case* exude a clear, run-
ny fluid—it “weeps,” as doctors
say, and the fluid can cause break-
ing out on whatever part of the
body it,touches. Children are espe-
cially vulnerable to scalp ring-
worm. Bpidemies are usually start-
ed in schools or institutions.
Swimming pools, locker rooms,
and gyms are potent sources of
infection. Everyone has heard of
“athlete’s foot.” It is nothing more
khan a type of ringworm. So is the
so-called “barber’s itch.”
Preventive measures call for
avoiding persons and animals
(known to be infected. Swimming
pools, gyms, locker rooms, and the
like can do their part toward ring-
worm control by boiling towels,
swimming suits and their other
public facilities for 30 minutes.
Foot bath* are alao worthwhile.
The best thing to do is to keep
clean at all times. But if you hap-
pen to get ringworm, or if you
jhave it now, it will be' better for
nil concerned if you report to your
family doctor Immediately. He'll
recommend medication designed to
shorten the course and lessen the
reverity of the infection.

Port-able Quick
Freezer InYented
By U. T. Professor
Texas farmers, ranchers, and
urban garden owners may soon
qulck-freese their own fruits and
vegetables by one of the beet com-
mercial methods.
A compact, portable quick frees
er for homes and email locker
planta will be perfected this sum
mer by University of Texas En
gincertng Dean W. R. Woolrich.
The unit will have approximate-
ly the same proportions as a five-
gallon ice cream frssesr. Home
quick-f reeling of fruits and vege-
tables in two to 10 minutes will
be a reality.
‘‘It’s true that small lockdr
plants have been processing fruits
and vegetables after a fashion, in
standard quick-freesiag equip-
ment,” Dean Woolrich said.
“However, that type of opera-
tion doesn’t preserve vegetable-
fruit flavor and body Hke the com-
knercial job done on specially-
packaged products for grocery
stores. The new model will do a
‘commercial job’ at heme.”
