For the first time in four years, the con
ventions of the Federalist and Nationalist
parties in Washington, D.C. will have to
share the spotlight with the Democratic Dori
nybrook in Los Angeles and the ^Republican
formalities at Chicago.
But that should be no reason to ignore
the deliberations, the decisions and the per
sonalities that emerge from the nominating
convocations in the National Capital. As
everyone should recall, the Federalists and
the Nationalists are the two parties of the
politically competitive Boys' Nation program
which has been conducted each summer for
the past 15 years under the auspices of The
American Legion.
The nearly 100 high school youths who
will constitute Boys' Nation from July 22 to
29 come to Washington as the representatives
of the 20,000 who earlier participated in the
Legion-sponsored Boys' State in 48 of the 50
states of the union. Here, at the nation's
GHQ, they will operate as a Senate, hold
their party conventions, elect a President
who will organize a cabinet and select a
Supreme Court -and (if any can be found in
the city) visit with their counterparts in the
Federal Government.
Obviously these Legion programs, based
on the proved effectiveness of learning-by-
Gasoline taxes, which now average one
third of the cost to motorists for regular
grade fuel,' may be approaching the point
of diminishing return. Charles E. Webber,
president of the Natural Gasoline Associa
tion of America, said that at the 39th con
vention of the trade association in Houston,
Texas.
The American motorist has become gas
oline price conscious to a degree greater than
ever before because of increased prices
caused by heavier fuel taxes. From 1949
through 1959 there were 62 separate state
tax increases, plus a rise of from 1.5 cents
to 4 cents per gallon in the Federal tax. This
amounted to a jump of 40 percent. In con
trast, the actual price of gasoline at the pump
rose only 4.5 percent, making the rate of gas­
Goes Up In Smoke
Residents of Nuble county don't scare
easily.
In the face of a steady barrage of med
ical reports in recent years linking cigarette
smoking with cancer and with heart disease,
they are puffing away at a record rate.
Some 1,519.000 packs of cigarettes were
consumed locally in the past year, well over*
previous totals, according to national data
released by the Department of Agriculture
and area reports issued by the tobacco in
dustry.
This represents an average of 192 packs
a year per capita among the local population
of ago 15 and over.
The rate of consumption was higher than
that reported for the United States as a
whole, 190 packs per person in that age
group. The rate in the East North Central
States was 181 packs a year.
Many studies are in progress at the pres
ent time to find out why people smoke, why
some do not and what effect smoking has,
if anv, on health.
Smokers appear to be not too much con
cerned over the health phase, judging from

tic training for citizenship that any young
ster could hope to have. And even though
these "courses" have been available to only
a handful of our youth, fifteen years of these
activities have provided a splendid example
to countless educators and young people's
organizations who have adapted the Legion
idea to their own civic-education efforts.
It might be noted too, as we chatter now

and instructed delegations, that the 17-year
old delegates to the first Boys' Nation in 1945
have now been qualified voters (and how)
since 1949 or 1950 and are about to cast a
Presidential vote for the third time! As of
November 8, well^over 1,000 one-time mem

next President along with an estimated
400,000 who first learned about politics in
their respective Boys' States.
What today's Boys' Nation delegates
think and say and do in Washington could
be every bit as important as what their el

tax-in-cluded high gas prices is a major
reason for this trend. As a consequence, Mr.
Webber emphasized, it is conceivable that
the total of taxable gallons may drop so far
that taxes may have to be raised again to
cover the deficit. That would be an example

Except for the one year 1953, when sales

Thousands of people went
on a sentimental binge when
that "poor tortured and law
persecuted" criminal who did
nothing more serious than rob,
kidnap and pervert sex, was
finally sent to his death after
12 years of failure to prove his
innocence, although he had
plenty of opportunity and mon
ey to do so.
One wonders where all these
sympathetic souls are now
when teen-age Hungarian free
dom fighters are being execut
ed three years after the revolt
in which they heroically took
part.
But they are silent now!
They strained at the gnat of
punishment for a confessed
American criminal, while they
swallowed the camel of mur
der for the Hungarian boys
who loved their country enough
to fight for its freedom against
communism.

How's That Again?
It is sheer tragic irony that
men who should know better
will quiver in fear and set
forces in motion against the
pitiful little criminal who robs
the corner grocery or filling
station—but will permit suave
materialists to distort their
thinking and prostitute the
principles on which our nation
was founded and built. They
share their inconsistency with
those who condemn the indiv
idual outspoken communist or
stooge, while they accept the
principles of godless commun
ism itself under the mask of
"humanism" or the "welfare
state." They strain at the
gnat of individual self-reliance
and then swallow the camel of
corroding governmental a
ternalism.

A TERRIBLE MESS
I am thinking as I write this letter, of a family that I knew
here in the Holler. They were nice people, they were good
church people, went to church every Sunday, gave their few
pennies and took communion.
One time I visited the home and the mother came to the
door drying her hands on her apron. Her hair was combed
tight and parted in the middle and tied in a hard knot on the
back of her head. She greeted me in a sort of friendly way re
marking as I stepped in the house,'that it was terribly hot and
that the crops were all burning up. I found me an old fashioned
chair and started to make myself at home.
The dear old Christian soul started in much as follows.
"Sam, it just seems the Lord is a punishing us every day. I
have rheumatics I can hardly walk. Paw haint been able to
do narry a thiny fer niyh on to nine years, he just haint up to
it no more.
Bill fell off Smith's barn last month and sprained his back
and haint able to work no more. Mary has such headaches that
she haint goin back to school no more. Aunt Sue took neumon
ia and died last month. One of our best cows fell over the bank
and broke a lek and we had to have her killed. One of our
horses got fast in the wire fence and we can't use him no more.
Our brood sow had a litter of nine piks, she layed on tlVree of
them, four of them got chilled in the wet beddin and died and a
naybor's dog killed the rest. A skunk got in our hen house and
killed several of our layin hens. Garden haint no good at all.
Frost killed all the peaches. Weavel got in the wheat and it
haint no good. ,Wind blew the roof of the stable and we haint
gpt no money to fix it, yes, it looks like the Lord is a punishin
us fer somethin.
I couldn't tell her of course, but the good Lord had nothing
what-so-ever to do with the sad luck story she told. It says in
a book, "As a man thinketh, so is he." JThat family got a sort of
consolation out of their lack of energy and vision and faith.
They loved it and gloated over it. Far too many of us are af
flicted more or less in the same way. It's a bad mess to get
into.
