Auurance of Victory
Thif< Easter Sunday brings once morfe
the familiar, jovotis and always inspiring
celebration of the greatest event in all
history'.
Nothing that has happened before or
since that great day almost 2,000 years
ago compares in importance or in ulti-
mate significance to the Resurrection of.
Je«us Christ. f " ,
\ In one,,gneaftk. dramatic move, the un-
mistakable starrtp of divinity was placed
upon a man who had been .rejected, de-
spised and crucified. God’s whole plan of
salvation was spelled out for men and the
promise of a final triumph over evil and
death was made possible for everyone.
The International Sunday School Les-
son for’ Easter is entitled “The Church's
Assurance of Victory.” It would be dif-
-fiyult to have selected a more appropri-
ate heading. Without the Resurrection,
there would have been little to sustain
either the church or human aspirations.
After the Resurrection, there was every-
thing.
The Easter story indeed Stands as an
aS.-uraxice of victory for the church and
for all its believers. Now, as through the
centuries, the power of a living Christ
stands as life’s only genuine beacon Of
hope in a world that is dominated by dark-
. ness.
Continued heavy spending amHhe decline
of revenue from oil production have com-
bined to produce a financial, crisis that
may defy other methods of solution.
The state emergency poses enough
trouble in Us own rights without the ef-
forts by the cities to gain a free ride on
any new tax wagon that might get to
rolling. The two problems distinctly
deserve separate attention and individ-
ual approaches.
Only a relatively few municipalities in
the country have been able to get either
a sales tax on an income levy established.
Neither levy is a desirable one on a mu-
nicipal basis. Aside’ from the multiple
burden on taxpayers, any .city with either
of these exceptional instruments of punish-
ment is in an extremely weak competitive
position. Few more effective methods of
driving business and industry away could
be imagined.
The thing most needed in meeting the
financial problems of government at all
levels is a determined effort to make the
most out of every dollar available in terms
of serv ice rendered. Too many public of-
ficials seem more interested in building
up elaborate organizations and develop-
ing expensive methods of doing things
than in trying to see how far they can
stretch the dwindling tax dollar. - As long
as this attitude is allowed to prevajl, there
is not much hope for stemming the tre-
mendous and ever increasing tax drain on
the nation's economic structure.—FWF.

Around the Square-
City Commissioner Joe Dan Avinger
deserves a full measure of thanks from his
fellow townsmen for his three years of
service as mayor of Sulphur Springs.
Avinger devoted to the unpaid position
far more than the ordinary share of time,
work and zeal. He 'provided a vigorous,
able leadership for the board of city com-
missioners. His interest in the public wel-
fare is pronounced, and his personal con-
tribution to the development of an effic-
ient, progressive municipal government
has been a. substantial one. .
the -Ywivgon
cial board for the new fiscal year, the
chairmanship passed last week to Com-
missioner H. F. Ashcroft. The practice of
rotating the mayor’s office among the
commissioners prevails in many city man-
ager cities as a means of dividing the ex-
tra responsibility and of giving the vari-
ous board members additional experience.
In this connection, a proposal being
discussed at city hall for the employ-
ment of a part-time police judge to re-
lieve the mayor of the sometimes rath-
er heavy nuisance burden of this func-
tion is an exceedingly sensible one.
Many commissioners are understand- '
ably reluctant to accept the position
with this Juty attached, and the judi-
ciary function does not particularly fit
into the accepted concept of the com-
mission chairmanship under the city
manager plan of government.
Since corporation court cases custo-
marily are heard only one day a month
here, it' should be possible to employ a.,
p’nlice judge at a cost which the city could
.afford and thus permit the mayor to con-
centrate on his legislative duties as chair-
man of the council and the city’s top of-
ficial representative.

The League of Texas Municipalities’
recent call for authority for municipal in-

Life expectancy has been extended by many
years with scientific development. Health-giving
diets, vitamins, sanitation and medical discoveries
have prolonged the life span. ^ e can now ex-
pect to live JO or 30 years longer than our re-
cent ancestors.
Are we using this longer life for the benefit
of selfish desires? Somehow it seems futile to
extend life while developing more tragic means of
taking life. The bow and arrow, the sword and
^spear endangered young men who dared take up
the deadly arms many years ago. Gun's increased
|he possibility of violent death. ^ _-

nor of killing people. The non-belligerents will
increasingly become involved in future conflicts.
We should all do well to use the extra years
of our lives to extend the kingdom of God. The
world needs more love, more kindness, more for-
giveness. We need more friendship and less of
sin and less of destruction. We have some extra
years. Let us use them well!

Britain has been insisting on a
proposal for a 6-mile limit on
territorial waters to replace the
traditional 3-mile limit.’ The
United States has opposed it. A
British spokesman has promised
that if the conference fails to
agree, Britain will consider the
3-mile - limit Us remaining in
force.
As the spokesman explained,
Britain offered the J^mile com-
promise to counter Soviet and

countries, exclusive fishing rights
within a 6-mile offshore area but
not to affect passing traffic out-
side the 3-mile limit.

Washingion— (NEA)-—The way in which the Alaska statehood
bill U being kicked around in Congress would be funny if UmMl
so tragic. All pous indicate that a majority of the U. S. public and
CongveW favor Alaska admission to the union. But a minority opposi-
tion manages to keep it blocked. _
Latest stall was in a recent session of the powerful House Roles
Committee. The meeting was called for 10 a. m. ,
Chairman Howard W. Smith (D-Va.) implacably opp<wed to
Alaskan statehood, finally called the meeting to ©U^at
He noted that the House was to convene at 11. There would not
be time for the meeting. He adjourned it till 1 p. m.
At that time five out pf eight Democrats and one out of four
Republicans showed up. With seven members needed for a quorum,
Smith adjourned the meeting.
Since members of the Rules Committee are given no other as-
signment so ’.hat they can concentrate on their all-important busi-
ness, question of their whereabouts has been raised:
A check-up on the six absentees presents these alibis:
Representative Colmcr (D-Miss.), who is known to oppose Alas-
kan statehood, was in Mississippi.
_____Representative Bolling (D-Mo.)» who favors admission), attended
the National Trade Policy conference in the morning. He got badk
to the Capitol just as the committee adjourned.
. Representative O’Neill (R-Mass.) ,had Governor Furcolo’s cabi-
net in town and there just wasn’t enough of him to take care of that
important home delegation and Rules business too.
Representative Brown (R-Ohio) was on the floor all da>.
Whereabouts of Rep. Henry J. Latham (R-N.Y.) were unknown
by his office.
Representative Scott (R-Pa.) was in Philadelphia for a murder
trial. He went a letter to the Rules Committee saying he favored ad-
mission, but Chairman Smith wouldn t put it on record.
What this means is that nothing will be done on Alaskan state-
hood till after Easter recess, if then.
Long-standing opposition to Alaskan statehood—and Hawaiian
statehood, too—has come from southern congressmen. What they
fear is that election of a few more northern Democrats or Republicans
would threaten southern control of Congress and make possible more
liberal Civil Rights laws.
In spite of this general attitude. House Speaker Sam Rayburn
of Texas now favors admission of Alaska, though he opposed it in
the past.
Both Senalc and House Interior arid Insular Affairs committees
have approved statehood bills which now await only Rules Com-
mittee clearance lor action on the floor.
Chairman Clair Engle (D-Calif.) and Rep. Leo W. O Brien (D-
N.Y.) of the House Interior Committee have proposed trying to force
the hill onto the floor if the Rules Committee does not act. But this
is a difficult maneuver.
Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon Johnson of Texas has not ex-

voted against it.
The House also approved statehood for Hawaii in 1064. Rut that
was killed, along with statehood for Alaska, when the House Rules
Committee voted against joint conference on the two measures.

Then one said, “Let’s not quarrel;
after all, there are two sides to

“Yes,” replied the other, “yottr„.:

When Milton Berle was “Mr-
Television,” he was in the middle
of every scene, even when he had
introduced a guest star, Karl Wil-
son, the Broadway night club
chronicler, quipped: “The man
who, says nothing is impossible
never tried to get between Mil-
ton Berle and a television cam-
era.”
The broadway columnist, Earl
Wilson, once declared, “Milton
Berle needs an audience of only
two people—and one of them can
be Miiton Berle.”

men at Station House 27 have 39
volumes of Hubert Howe Ban-
craft’s "Western American Se-
ries” to browse .through ih odd
moments. The volumnious work
on Western American history was
supplied by one of the firemen,
Richard L. Fields, 32. He found
the books in the attic of a house,
which was bought and given to
him by his father-in-law before
he moved here from Baker, Ore.,
in 1961.
