Shands pointed to the benefits and blessings from taxes and said these must be considered along with the burdens of taxation in an address here before the League of Women Voters. He said the individual as well as communities and counties benefit from state taxes. He explained this by saying, "Without the tax program we could not have a nine months school term with well paid teachers: we could not have ample provisions made for our state institutions; the welfare program granting aid to the aged, the blind and the dependent children would have been curtailed 25 per cent; and $6,000,000 could not have been provided for con struction of tuberculosis hospi tals." SARATOGA SPRINGS Mayor William O'Dwyer of New York City has denied emphati cally that he would marry ex-model Sloan Simpson during a week end visit to Saratoga Springs. O'Dwyer told newsmen in the lobby of Gideon Putnam Hotel, where he and Mis' Simpson are staying, that, when he had any news of his wedding "You'll get plenty of notice." The couple's visit here spurred rumors that they would be married. O'Dwyer, in caus tic tones, chided reporters and photographers for their close at tention to what he termed "just a week-end visit with my friends Mr.

and Mrs. Martin Sweeny." He said that reporters were advised last njght that there was nothing to the rumor that he and the 35-year-old attractive bur- net would be married here. Asked if that meant that he was flatly denying the report he answered: "Absolutely. There Is nothing to it." NEW YORK (INS) Designers have big news up their sleeves and it's Sleeves!

She Is actually educating her toddler to run out into the streets by her sin of omission.

You can't sell the little woman those "tenement tans" any more when she decides to redecorate the inside of her house. No, sir! Take it from Spencer Stuart of Chicago, promotion manager for a paint firm: "During the last three years, women have changed.

Now they want greens and grays and gray greens for their living room walls. And, they want cheery yellows for the kitchen." Before the war, explained Stuart, the nation's housewives wanted colors like cream, ivory, buff and putty. These are the tints termed "tenement tans." BCZEMAN, Mont.

CAIRO A young Egyptian is betting his bankroll that the lessons he learned in Columbia University sociology classrooms can be passed on to the Arabic world in popular motion pictures. Although the Egyptian film industry has turned out up to 140 full length pictures a year, pictures with a social moral are unknown. Hassan Bey Amer, a Columbia student from 1945 to 1948, will premiere the first Egyptian film along this line in Cairo. Called "Watch Your It contains under a sugar coating of popular stars and comedy, the point that Egypt's wealthy women could better use their riches in financing schools and hospitals than in high living. It isn't a dramatic "social message" by American standards but it is precedent shattering here.
