PAY YOUR POLL TAX
BE A CITIZEN
In the early days of old
England the government was
supported by import and ex-
port taxes, property taxes etc.
but the great masses of the
poorer people paid no tax at
all. A movement was started
to make the indvidual feel his
responsibility and interest in
the government. So a very
small individual tax was as-
sessed on each person regard-
less of his financial standing
This was the poor man’s
“contribution” to the govern
ment. It became known as
“head tax” later as “poll tax”
Since the organization of
the states of the American
union some of them introduc
ed the “poll tax”, but finding
it hard to collect it was de-
cided to penalize the nonpayer
by depriving him of his right
to vote. So the poll tax is not
a purchase of the right to
vote, but the withholding of
tlie right to vote is the pen-
i It y for nonpayment.
If you are between the ages
af 21 and 61, you owe the
state your poll tax whether
you vote or not.

NOTICE TO EMPLOYEES
Effective October 15
Mrs. W. W. Collins, Chair
man of the Sesame Club’s
March of Dimes, announces
that the “Mothers’ March”
scheduled for Wednesday
night was called off due to
illness in the community.
Donations will be received
at the Thorn Grocery by Mrs.
Donald Thom and Mrs. C. C.
Jones.
The following rules will
apply:
Office employes will daily
sweep the floors, dust the
furniture, shelves and show
eases. Each day fill the lamps
clean chimneys and trim
vicks. Wash the windows
once a week. Each clerk will
ormg in a bucket of water
md a scuttle of coal for the
Jays business. Make your
Jens carefully. You may
wnittle your nibs in your own
individual taste.
This office will open at I
a.m. and close at 8 jp.mi
/daily except on the Sabbath,
an which day it will remain
t; *sed. Each employee is
expected to spend the Sab
bath by attending Church anc.
iributing liberally to the
(ause of the Lord.
Men employes will be given
ff. evening off each week for
: urting purposes, or two
venings a week if they go
to church regularly.
After an employee has
{-pent 12 hours of labor in
the office, he should spend
the time reading the Bible and
rther good books while con-
templating the glories and
of buildiing up the Kingdom.
Every employee should lay
? side from each pay a goodly
sum of his earnings for his
benefit during his declining
fears, so that he will not be-
come a burden upon the char-
ity of his betters.
Any employee who smokes
Spanish cigars, uses liquor in
any form, gets shaved in a
jarber shop, or frequents
pool and public halls will give
me good reason to suspect
his worth, intentions, integri-
ty and honesty.
The employee who has
performed his labours faith-
fully and without fault for a
period of five years in my
service, who has been thrifty
and attentive to his religious
duties, is looked upon by his
fellow men as a substantial
and law abiding citizen, will
be given an increase of five
cents per day in his pay, pro-
viding a just return in profits
from the business permits it.
From the president,
Norman Lamb.

MOKING LINKED
CIGARET ACTION LOOMS
Some time ago the U. S.
Department of Health etc. ap-
pointed a committee of scien-
tists to investigate and de-
termine, if any, the connect-
ion of smoking and cancer.
The report of this committeej
containing some 150,000
words was made public on
January 11th. The Associat-
ed Press has made a very
good review of that report
md we have decided to run
it as a series. It will take
ffiree of four, or maybe more,
.ssues of our paper to give
-t all, but as this comes from
lo smaller agency than the
Health Department of the U
S. Government, we decided
o pass it on to our readers
-or their information.

PART TWO
Continued from last week.
But it said also that an as-
sociation has been established
oetween cigaret smoking in
men and higher rates of cor-
onary diseas, and it asserted:
“It is ... more prudent to
assume that the established
association between cigaret
smoking and coronary disease
has a causative meaning than,
to suspend judgment until no
uncertainty remains ”
As for lung cancer, the re-
port said that in men cigaret
smoking far outweighs other
possible causes of the malady
and “the data for women,
though less extensve, point in
the same direction.”
Pipes, Cigars Less
It said the risk of develop-
ing lung cancer for pipe and
cigar smokers is greater than
for nonsmokers, “but much
less than f or cigaret smokers. ’
For various specific diseases
Terry said in a statement, the
committee’s findings were
that cigar and pipe smoking
have little significance in com-
parison with cigarets.
But while it found much
physical menace in smoking,
the committee reported that
there are benefits in the area
of mental health and ease,
saying, “the habit originates
in a search for contentment.”
As regards other diseases,
the box score of the report
ran this way:
1. Cancer of the esophagus.
There is evidence of an asso-
ciation with smoking, but
cause and effect have not been
decided on the bacis of pre-
sent evidence.
2. Cancer of the urinary
iladder. An association with
cigaret smoking, but not e-
nough evidence to establish a
cause and effect link.
3. Stomach cancer. No re-
lationship established.
Ulcers Associated
4. Peptic ulcer (including
ulcers of the stomach and of
the duodenum which link the
