B. Lambert Jr. Editor's nole: The Country Philosopher on his Johnson grass farm on Wallace Creek takes a stand on the front porch argument, his letter this week reveals. Dear editar: There are times when I can understand people. For example, about a week or so ago all the newspapers carried an article about a Congressman was using i front porch for a home office run by his wife and was collecting rent on it from J.

A. the government, since, as I understand it, the government allows Congressmen $1200 a yeai for home office rent if there's not room in the post office or some other federal building in his home town. And what I can't understand about people is that most of them were outraged by this set-up. They thought it was wrong to get paid for using your front porch for an office, I'm outraged by this too, but not for the same reason. What outrages and baffles me is why anybody, if the government would pay him to sit on his front porch, would turn the job over to his wife, and himself sit in an office in Washington.

I can't understand such a sense of values. You take me, whenever the weather allows, I sit on my front porch, even if the government doesn't pay me a cent to it. There are some things a man ought to be willing to do on n's own, whether he gets paid for or not. Although understand I wouldn't object to getting paid or it. In fact, I think it would a more positive approach, if the government paid me to sit on my porch, instead of paying me not to sit on my tractor, although I'd be willing to tackle both jobs at the same time if the pay was doubled.

I can't say I accomplish any- 2 Year Guaranteed Bat teries, $10.95. Sadler Autc Supply. More families Mrs Baird's Bread stays fresh longer i vSrvy i i ff t' A "Air Spun face powder lull thing by sitting on my front porch, which isn't the purpose in sitting there in the first place, and besides it's not always a proven fact that some Congressmen accomplish more by sitting elsewhere. It might be thought by some people that I'm starting a crusade for more people to sit on their front porches, but I'm not made that way. I find it impossible to care whether my neighbor is sitting on his front porch or sitting on a tractor or riding to town in his car.

All I know is that for me, sitting on the front porch suits me fine. It's easier, it's cheaper, it's safer, and you can do it in the shade. Also, don't have to get elected to it. Very few taxes have ever been raised by a man sitting on his front porch. Yours faithfully, J.

A. Gaines de Gaffe Reed and Driscoll Smith of Waco visited Saturday in the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. E.

Tisdale and family. Mrs. 0. E. Stafford returned home Monday morning after spending the Easter holidays with her son, J.

E. McCoury and family, in Bend. Also visiting in the McCoury home were their daughter and family, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Hancock and Karen and Jimmy of La Marque.
