the property owners of 35 years
ago hadn't voted "for" on a
similar issue. My thanks to
them and my pledge that I will
follow the good example they
set. I have no doubt but that
the home owners of 35 years
hence will thank me, too, for
helping to make it possible for
them to have paved streets.
I've loved Shamrock since
that hot August day I arrived
here almost 18 years ago. My
faith that Shamrock will grow
and develop if its people will
but give it a chance is still as
strong today as it was then.
My faith that the people of
Shamrock will vote for pro-
gress if given all the facts has
been shaken on several occa-
sions to the point that I ser-
iously considered leaving my
adopted city for greener pas-
tures.
This mental bag-packing was
brought on by the strenuous
opposition to the water and
sewer bond, the school bond,
and, most recently, the hospital
bond.
But the people of the Irish
city came through and voted
these vital programs as I feel
they will the upcoming paving
issue.
It's a cinch that we, as citi-
zens, will have to face up tc
the necessity for street im-
provement and paving sooner or
later. It's a cinch, too, that the
longer we put it off the more
it will cost. Why not do it
now?

J COMMENT ▼
VETERANS DAY
With American troops once
more locked in combat, defend-
ing the cause of freedom, Vet-
erans Day-November II-takes
on added significance this
year, a new generation of war
veterans is in the mold as the
nation pauses to honor the men
and women who have honora-
bly served in the uniform of
their country.
This day-which was once
known as Armistice Day-was
originally the anniversary of
the ceasefire of World War I.
From that was came The Amer-
ican Legion. But this year's ob-
servance of Veterans Day is in
no way a consecration of the
memory of any past armed
conflict. Instead, it is a time
to express the esteem and pres-
tige with which Americans re-
gard the role of the veteran.
While Veterans Day is meant
to honor the 20 million men
and women who have perform-
ed the highest obligation of
their citizenship, the day is al-
so dedicated to the cause of
world peace with honor.
No one hates war more than
the war veteran. No one strives
more ardently for an honorable
world peace than the veteran
who has known war in all its
brutality. But that same vet-
eran knows that the lofty goals
of an honorable world peace
and recognition of individual
dignity cannot be attained
while there are forces in the
world seeking its
through acts of aggression.

Now is a good time for you
to look at your 1966 Income tax
situation. The good tax folks
point out that some wage earn-
ers may still owe additional
tax, especially those who have
income other than their wages.
If you owe additional tax
and have not filed an estimated
tax return, It is not too late to
have your employer take out
additional withholding before
the end of the year. It is better
to look now than to be sur-
prised on April 15.
