SOSSAMOX, SR liusiness Manager The spectacle of the United States paying half of the cost of the United Nations mission in the Conpro, of our extending millions of dollars in aid to the new and strange countries of the Dark Continent, leaves us somewhat chilled. Certain facts should be kept clearly in mind, when we accede to tho pleas of the pink-cloud et, for every do-good scheme that runes along. For instance the newly free African nations which France admi listered until recently have mostly refused per-niisinn for the (light of U. S. planes over their territory, in carrying out the mission of the United Nations.

In addition, these new nations many of them are actively courting the Soviet Union and constantly threatening to call in the Prussians if some demand is not met. The United States is footing the big bill, assuming that the new African nations will love us as a result. The truth is they will r.ot appreciate the fact that in this country the Negro has reached his greatest level of prosperity and freedom, in any large number.

I'm nineteen. Some people think I'm younger." "You look it," said the Seig-eant. "All right, let's go." They started down the trail, thr Sergeant walking at the horse's head. Bud began to roll a rigarctte. "Ain't you curious how I got down in Hint canyon with a dead horse and all "Yes," said tlie Sergeant.

"Yes sir," said Bud.

"This man sure saved my bacon." The Sergeant glanced at htm In surprise. He was singing a different tune now and the Sergeant wondered why. "Get mil) down off that horse and let me cook you up something to eat, Soldier," cried Burro. "1 ain't had no company for four-five months, except a crazy prospector or two, and they don't count." After an enormous meal of Mexican beans, sowbelly, flapjacks with syrup, and black coffee, old Burro saddled up a big blue-colored mule for Bud, and at last the Sergeant and Bud were mounted and ready to go, and the Sergeant reached down to shake hands with old Burro. "That a right nice youngun you pulled out of the mountains, Soldier," said Burro.

"What you gonna do with Him?" "I don't know," said the Sergeant. "He's going to be laid up for a while." "Hell, his leg ain't broke," snld Burro. "1 can tell you that; I've tell down slopes enough tnysell tn know. It's lust a real bad sprain. Clood-by, son.

But tnen the boy seemed to be going out of his way to he nice all around. They were on the desert floor now and heading due east.

Soon they'd be able to make out the Apaches' Sacred Rock, which reared up a hundred feet or more in the air, the well-known desert landmark for Mesa Kn-cantada. "Once I get this leg mended I ain't just sure what I'm going to do with myself," said Bud. "Oot nowhere to go irt particular." "Where are your "Folks? 1 got no folks.

"Oh, no, you don't Them boots cost me sixty dollars." The Sergeant bent down and examined the boots: they tvere brand new and nearly the best money could buy in the Southwest. "You're mighty careless with your money, sonny," said the Sergeant. "What are we going to do? II your ankle's broke, I got to get it Into a splint," ''fhrn what?" asked the boy.

with narrowed eyes and a look that was partly suspicions, partly curious. "I'll get you in to a medico nt Mesa Kncantada. Vou've got to lay up some place." "We got only one horse," said the boy. "I'll walk." said the Sergeant. "There's a little ranch just off the trail a few miles, at the foot of the far slope.

WORLD WAR III DANGER In notes to Poland, Great Ilritain and the United States recently reaffirmed their official position concerning the Kast German-Polish boundary. It is in general agreement with the position taken by West Germany. In the excitement and publicity over Berlin, the question of Germany's eastern boundary has largely been forgotten.

Also, because the communists have maintained a satellite state in F.ast Germany, they have effectively prevented the Kast Germans from raising the issue. In addit'on, the question of German unity is paramount, and this is a question which must be settled before the final solution is concerning Germany's eastern boundary, despite all these temporary conditions, the long-term basis problem which worries some foreign affairs analysis is the question of Germany's eastern boundary. One reason why the Russians are intent upon keeping Germany divided is because of the Russian fear of future trouble over this artificial boundary. The Russians, of course, took much of Eastern Poland for themselves, giving Poland part of East Germany. In their calculating way, the Russians believed that future trouble between Germany and Poland would force Poland to be an ally of Russia as the power which could protect her and retain that part of Poland which was German for so many centuries.

LIVING COSTS UP The cost-of-living index moved up again in July the thirteenth time in sixteen months that it has risen. In itself, the rise was relatively insignificant, it nevertheless is part of a continuing trend that is highly significant. The trend indicates that inflation is still pushing from down As a the belief among many economists is that the election of a new president will almost certainly bring about iiula'ion. P.oth presidential nominees believe that defense spending should be increased and both believe in expanded domestic programs. Thus, it is to sec how both these go.ds can be attained and fuitlvr inflation avoided.

The national disgrace of the post World War II and Korean Con.lict periods, when Congress refused to control inflation and many got rich on war, is a lesson which should not be forgotten; These two tragic periods have sent the national deb soaring and increased costs of everything manyfold plus pricing United States goods out of the world market in many vital areas of trade. MORE THAN NEWS As source of information on current matters of all kinds, you can't beat the newspapers. For instance, the student newspaper at the University of Kansas polled political science students to learn what they consider the most valuable source of information about this year's possible presidential candidates. From the results, a "popularity index" was made. On this index, newspapers racked up a score of magazines 200, jmd television 1T0 well under half the newspaper figure.

Radio scored a scant 107 and books Newspapers provide much more than news. They are a major force for popular education and understanding. YOUR TAX FUTURE 111 In the long light of history, 47 years is only an instant of time. But, from the point of view of the taxpayer, the last 47 years have been somberly outstanding in this country. Back in 1913, reports the Tax Foundation, all federal tax collections amounted to a mere $CG2 million now they are estimated at billion.

The states haven't lagged. In the same period, their collections have soared from $301 million to billion. And local collections are no small item either. The 1913 figure was slightly over $1.3 billion in 1959 it was about $16.8 billion. So much for the past.
