A SMILE COSTS nothing. It appears that everyone these days
is being confronted with one crisis or another, creating frowns
and scowls.
Have you stopped to think how much a smile can do to help
alleviate the problem and promote an ounce or two of happiness
along the way? It's been said that it takes hundreds of muscles to
frown but only a few to smile.
Read the following text and see if you don't find yourself
smiling:
A smile costs nothing, but gives much. It enriches those who
receive, without making poorer those who give. It takes but a
moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is
so rich or mighty that he can get along without it and none is so
poor but that he can be made rich by it. A smile creates
happiness in the home, fosters good will in'business, and is the
countersign of friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to
the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and it is nature's best
antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed,
or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it
is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile.
Give them one of yours, as no one needs a smile so much as he
who has no more to give.
The above essay was contributed by Bright Newhouse.
PRESIDENT NIXON continues to poke his finger into the
economy when he shouldn't, and the hopes of things getting
better continue to fade.
It was announced Thursday by one of his aides, that Nixon is
considering a 10 percent hike in income tax, with the money to be
refunded to taxpayers eventually. The plan is considered a
"forced savings plan," intended to cool down the economy.
Now, with prices going up at an unbelievable rate on
everything, can you imagine digging into your pocket and
digging up another 10 percent to send to Washington? With
prices rising much faster than wages, can you imagine another
10°7o in taxes?
The Nixon aide said that the move wouldn't be a tax increase
as such, but instead was a device to remove income temporarily
from the economy in an effort to fight inflation. The money would
be returned in 2 to 5 years, possible with interest.
it looks like to me that it would be a drastic mistake to take
money out of, circulation at a time when prices are rising so
rapidly. But then l've never understood Nixon's economic
programs anyway.

Nixon has put the country in a heck of a mess with his d

THE GOVERNMENT HAS put some crippling
gasoline stations, and the move has closed many a
larger cities and may threaten some stations locally.
The Phase 4 gasoline program allows a station
7-cent profit over what the gasoline cost him on Jan. 10 0
year. Wholesale prices went up 1 cent in June, so this
basic profit to 6 cents a gallon.
Now, 6 cents profit per gallon looks OK at first glance,
must consider that the station's overhead -- rent,
taxes, etc. -- must come out of that 6 cents. When you
up, there isn't much, if any, left for the operator.
Now ask yourself: Why is a dealer going to keep his
