The rain, falling in torrents through much of yesterday, geared highway and conservation officials in New Hampshire and western Massachusetts to prepare for floods of similar intensity as those which caused million dollars damage in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont last month.

PROPERTY taxes; and there is a singsong simple reason: Everyone has to have a roof over his head. Thus, either as a home-owner or rent-payer he cannot escape the tax-gatherer. And, as the cost of government climbs, so do the tax rates or, at least, the amount that must be paid into the local city or town treasury for the rates themselves can be juggled by playing tricks with valuations. Some taxes ARE escapable. If you do not smoke, you pay no tobacco taxes.

If you do not drink, you pay no liquor taxes. If you do not operate an automobile, you pay no gasoline taxes. But property taxes can no more be avoided than dwellings can be hidden. And that is the basic, obvious reason the tax burden falls so heavily on home-ower and rent-payer alike. In recent decades the pic- mid-fiO's throughout the area yesterday were replaced last night by readings near or below freezing in many sections.

But instead of rain, which washed out highways and bridges in New Hampshire and caused minor flooding there and in other sections of New England, New England can expect cold clear air through Monday. The Weather Bureau said the temperature will be in the 40's in the Boston area today and in the 20's tonight, with temperatures in northern New England about 20 degrees colder. The cold front nudged out Bearing lighted torches, the thousands filed into the giant plaza for a communion Mass starting at midnight. The site of the rally was the same square Castro has used many times to address his followers. All types of banners were prohibited by church authorities except those identifying the delegations from various provinces.

No official reason was given for the order, but it was understood the church was anxious to avoid any open display of political feeling. CUBA Page Sixteen Half Million Catholics Rally; Castro Irked Symington Vs. Kennedy The Question: Can Catholic Be President? By ROBERT HF.ALY (Glnhr or rf Pondrnt) WASHINGTON, Nov. 28 The controversial question of birth control became further embroiled today as presidential hopefuls and clergy debated the issue back and forth. From coast to coast, leading churchmen and politicians expressed their opinions as to whether the United Slates should use goverment funds to sup port birth control programs in underdeveloped countries.

Underlying the surface debate on birth control is the oft-debated political question of w-hether a Catholic can, or should, be elected President of the United States. Sen. John F. Kennedy a Roman Catholic and a leading contender for the Democratic presidential nomination reiterated his opposition to the use of American public funds for birth control in other nations. BIRTH CONTROL Page Seventy Hub Shoppers Have Carnival Despite Rain The city's big Christmas shopping push is on.

Both rivers were pushed to bank levels by the drenching rams. But as the arriving cold wave reduced the rainfall to a sprinkle, highway officials predicted the Pemigewassct River would -crest at 13 to 14 feet, regarded as not serious. The same river rose to a 24-foot depth last month hen producing much damage. Lowland flooding was expected along that and most of the other rivers in New-Hampshire and western Massachusetts. FLASH FLOODS Poge Three ture nas been made even tougher by competition among the taxing levels of government, especially Federal and state, to get their hands on all available tax dollars.

Consider what has happened: Around the turn of the century the cities and towns were themselves collecting about 80 percent of all taxes collected by local and state tax-collectors. These were used to pay for local services, and, indeed, until well after the first decade of this century the cities and towns sent tax money to Beacon Hill to pay for state services.

who cares? Certainly not the avid Boston College and Holy Cross rooters who came in droves for the annual local Jesuit football classic. They came by bus, by train, by car and by just plain leg locomotion. They came wrapped in raincoats and huddled under umbrellas. But no amount of rain apparently could dampen the enthusiasm of spectators at Fitton Held which resembled a mushroom field as rooters hid under a variety of colored umbrellas. Leading the hardy football fans was probably one of the hardiest of them all Richard Cardinal Cushing (Boston College, class- of '18.) Certainly the Cardinal was hard put at times just trying to maintain the proper air of ecclesiastical indifference during this Jesuit rivalry.

Nov.

28 -Mike Holovak had the last laugh today on the weatherman, his critics and Holy Cross. His Boston College eleven crashed through mud and the Crusaders to a 14-0 victory after being spurned on a request for postponement and sparked by an aquatic acrobat named Vincent Hogan. The latter squished to both B.C. touchdowns in the final quarter and also won the O'Mclia Award as outstanding performer in today's 5fith Jesuit college football splash. The 23.000 capacity house, a tribute to modern medicine and the Massachusetts Turnpike, squinted through doom and high water to see Hogan swim three yards around end for B.C.'s first touchdown.
