Sunday, June 20 is Father's
Day. It depends a lot on the
home and family he heads as to
whether he will receive any hon-
ors. Perhaps if he had a family
like Emperor Mulai Ismail of
Morocco, who was blessed with
MS sons and 240 daughters, to

Wives, maybe he would receive

The Times editor is pleased to
acknowledge an invitation to the
Wedding, followed by a recep-
tion of Miss Joan Moore Shar-
bough to Dandridge Murdaugh
Gray at Larchmont, N Y.. on
June 19. Miss Sharbough is the
Manddaughter of Mrs J H.
Moore of Deport and her mother
the former Allene Moore of this
city. Doesn't appear to have
been so long ago since this coun-
try editor wrote up the Moore-
Sbarbough wedding, but the com-
ing marriage of Joan Moore is
positive proof that it has been
With many employees counting
only their “take home" pay and
forgetting the income tax which
llis employer must deduct each
week, and with some men now
proposing to work for so much
cash money each week and the
employer to pay his income and
•ocial security taxes, it is high
time this law was changed and
the employee in:ide to pay his
own taxes With a condition like
that, voters would send to Wa-n-
ington. men who still recognize
that money represents hard work.
Intelligent application, thrift and
•elf denial. Useless offices would
be abolished and useless employ-
ees who have been sucking gov-
ernment teats for years would
be fired. Taxes would be re-
4atsd—they should be.
It is strange the length to
rhlch politicians will go in an
effort to obtain votes. Because
there are more employees than
employers. President Truman has
made request that the social se-
curity taxes be increased 50 per
•aut. Tor those who do not
llWVr, the tax is now one per
aauL paid by both employer and

Dr. Jas. C. Strong, director of
the Lamar County Health Unit,
was the speaker before the De
port Lions Club on Tuesday even-
ing. Dr Strong stressed the im-
portance of cleanliness about
one’s premises. “If you have
mosquitoes, flies and rats, you or
your neighbor are probably rais-
ing them,” he assured his hearers.
Accumulation of debris is a
distinct menace to health and a
fire hazard, and more attention
should be paid to personal clean-
liness. Soap and water represent
an effective combination against
disease germs.
“It is known that communities
in which polio epidemics occur
are those with bad sanitary con-
ditions,” he said
Mayor Frank Griffin told Dr.
Strong that Deport had one clean
up this spring, but that another
