MONG the many bills tossed
nto the hopper at Olympia by
members of the state legislature
there are alwavs a few that at-
tract public attention by being

no exception. One lawmaker would
build a modern apartment edifice
on the state c:apitol grounds te

families. The governor would be

ONEY, re(racy, money! Every-
body needs money. The lat-
est to come forward 'with a tar-
fu] l)lea for great.el' funds to oDer-
ate is the Washington Association
of County Commissioners. This
organization tells the state legisla-
ture tllat every county in the state
with but one exception will have
empty cash registers and be forced
to go on a warrant basis in 1951

Counties are now prohibited by
state law from increasing aSSeSS-
ments on taxable pro0erty. Claim
is made that demanded county ser-
vice eosts more every day and that
funds to carry on-these services
are greatly diminished. From top
to bottom- the need is for more
money.

insisted that the more successful
a city-government sponsored pro-
gram of this nature becomes the
more incentive tilere would be to
relax parental discipline and con-
trol over children.

chihlreh, tiles we automatically
for(oil our fr:Hlchise to assert our
influeLlce on that wbich we give
up- our children. Sone wonder
whetber or not Shelton is creating
a recreation pattern that will, as
it. o'rows more suecessfnl begin
to lure youth from the control of
parents. Actually good parental
discipline s the best tiing for
children.
I'VE EVEN IIEARD it mention-
ed that tie whoh- programs seems
to be an off-slloot of a disease
affecting the nation in general,
a disease which boils down to,
"Let George do it', I'm too busy!"
In many respects people seem
willing to give up their responsl-
bilities and duties of freedom,
People who observe no responsi-
bilities cannot expect to have any
rights. When tile chore of pro-
riding for out' own children be-
comes too great, it is always
milch easier to turn them over to
someone else.
The trend seems to be that as
individuals madly scramble for
the fruits of the earth in chas-
ing after the almighty dollar, they
are inclined to forget their innate
duties. If ever we lose the last
vestiges of our freedom, it won't
just as idleness is tlc most dc-
;tructive phase of a person's lift,•
Browning was deep in thought
while expressing the philosophy,
"Our every Joy is three parts pain;
strive and hold (:heap the strain,"
in pointing out that when w,
work for a lofty goal, we attain
happiness ill the strife.
It eems that if children need
anything at all today they need
responsibilities of work placed ui).
on them by parents wlo take snf-
ficient interest in the upbringing
of their youngsters to see that
the jobs assigned get done.
IN TBYING TO see our way
through the non-ending mazes of
cross purposes that poll across
our horizons like snap-bath bub-
bles in a tub of warm water, we
at some time m' other in ore' lives
are faced with the problem:
"What is the ultimate end in
life?" Is it all pleasure luxmy,
satisfying desire for gadgets, live
fast and make mgrry- Or is there
something deeper" in life?
Some deeply consider the ques-
tion of education today as a pri-
mary factor in molding or aban-
doning good character develop-
ment. Botl Walter Lippman and
Robert Hutchins, contemporary
educators, worriedly have ana-
lyzed education in America. claim-
ins that students are taught so
many techniques, skills, trades
that they are losing the all-impor-
tant grasp on wisdom that has
been guiding our civiliT.ation.
PEIIAJPS IF students were
given more home work to do. that
work would account for more
time being spent at home eve-
nings under the jurlsdfction of
parents,
In checking 10ack 50 years ago
we find that in those days both
Shelton and Elms had so-mucil
rowdyism in the towns that cur-
few laws were imposed by city
officials to 'take the young people
off the streets and keep them
home. Always there have been a
certain number of Irresponsible

Dess Haines Has
Gray Cat Trouble
In Hoodsport
By Frances Radtke
Dess Haines is now being called
the friendly undertaker in Hoods-
port. 'Phe other evening along
about dusk Nancy Lockwodd and
Gloria Johnson knocked' at his
door and asked if he had a gray
cat with n bob tall, Upon answe T-
ing in the affirmative, the girls
told him it had just been run over
down by the Old Mill Tavern,
DESS IiURRIED over and found
the cat, head mashed in but rec-
ognizable by the'stripes on its
side. He carried the cat home sad-
ly and buried it while the family
mourned, Next morning le ope:lcd

on the porch awaiting breakfast!

that some books did much to de-
