NEW TAX BILL PROPOSED RY SENATOR Washington, D. C.. March Ill, 1953-Sem ator Richard M. Talbot of Massachusetts brought before the Senate today, a new tax bill which lowers the rate on talcum powder, incense, saehets, and shoe-trees. This he claims, will aid the working-man in his strug- gle for existence. This bill was strongly con- tcste.l by Myron D. Stepath, Senator from Omaha, Nebraska, who maintains that such a bill would be detrimental, since t.he work- ing-man should not be allowed to exist any- way. A fiery debate was in order which ended, sad to say. in a draw. NEW THEATRE OPENED Springfield.

At once the name recalled memories of m former classmate at dear old Central High School: but the subject of the lecture seemed so alien to the Dot Crockett I had known that I did not allow myself to hope of seeing her again. However. my curi- osity prevailed, and I planned to attend the lecture that evening. Leaving my hotel early, I arrived at the lecture hall in plenty of time to secure a seat near the platform. As soon as the lecturer carrie forward to speak, 1 immediately recog- nized my former schoolmate, and impatiently settled back in my seat to wait for the lecture, which, by the way, was very interesting and instructive. At the close of the program. I hurried for- ward to the platform to greet Dot, and, although we had much to talk about, my first question was, Dot, what on earth made you change your mind, and turn against the movies? Iler happ face clouded over with sadness and she replied dismally. It is a long, sad story, but I will tell you. You will he sur- mrised to learn that my former friend, Nancy llussell, was the cause of this change in at- titude. After we had graduated from college, Nan and I decided never to marry, but to live in a bungalow in the country, with a parrot and collie for com any. For several years we lived quietly and happily. Occasion- ally we went to a nearby village to the movies, and especially when Nan knew that William Boyd was billed to appear, for he was her favorite actor. One evening, being much impressed by his latest picture, when we returned from the village, she decidedto write him a letter in the rivacy of her own room. It was after midniglit when she had finished it, and she had mailed it before I was up in the moming. Several days later, Nancy went into ecstacy over a personal reply, and from that time, began a regular correspondence, which, to make a long story short, culminated in one of Hollywood's most brilliant weddings. Many distinguished personages and beauti- ful movie stars attended the ceremony, and after a large reception, the happy couple left on a round-the-world trip. Nancy had deserted me for a movie star! I was hurt but I determined to help people profit by my disillusions: so that is why I am ecturing against the movies. ISOBEL SMITH -Q CII 9.
