Vets Bonus
Those who contend that powerful business
groups in this state are leading opposition to
the proposed veterans’ bonus are not delving
into the issues that lie behind the bonus plan.
They are putting up a smoke screen and fail
to take into account one of the most significant
facts involved.
THE BONUS proposal is being backed tjy the
American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign
Wars. Since its inception in New York state
prior to World War I, when it was set up as
a means of combating progressive ideas, the
American Legion has been dominated by big
business. To a lesser extent, business also has
wielded great influence on the VFW.
Why do the businessmen oppose the bonus
on one hand and then sponsor it through the
veterans’ groups? This makes little sense.
It also would be well to consider that
the American Veterans Committee, the one
veterans group that has been entirely free of
big business influence, has been opposed to
all bonus plans since it was organized during
World War 11. AVC's slogan is "Citizens
First, Veterans Second".
The fact is that a bonus is going to tost
plenty—and it is the veteran himself and his
children who will have to pay in the years
to come. Money today is cheap, and $5OO won’t
mean too much, but later when money is dear
paying back that $5OO will be a heavy load.
SOME CLAIM that the bonus is needed to
help fight a recession. This is economically
unsound. The bonus will merely forestall for
a while the big bust that is on the way.
.If fhe veterans organizations are so in
terested in forestalling recession, why didn't
they come forward immediately after v the
war with a sensible program to combat in
flation and stabilize the economy?
A more practical plan would be government
action to bolster the economy through public
works and a more comprehensive plan of social
insurance that would benefit everyone, not
merely veterans. L. D. Gladfelter

of the proposed veterans' bonus bill. No

and will want to ■ know the writer's service

The Gripes of Roth
Not long ago the American Medical Association published
a report which said, in effect, “the cause of baldness is not known,
and there is today no preventitive for falling hair.”
THIS STATEMENT, published and republished in books,
magazines, and newspapers, immediately sent millions of men
scurrying to the nearest mirror, fear in their eyes and terror in
their-hearts.'
Males, olhewise normal, grabbed up micrometers and began
measuring, in millimeters, the hairline recession of the preceding
24 hours. Others liberally doused their scalps with sweet-smell
ing potions which, though they couldn't stop falling hair, glued
the loose ones back to the head.
Why all this fuss about what Webster defines as “a slender
threadlike outgrowth of an animal; especially one of the filaments
which form the characteristic coat of animals?”
BECAUSE TODAY, as never before, hair has taken the spot
light of public affairs. Possibilities of baldness have replaced wo
men as the chief topic of conversation in Tavern or Skellar, dorms
or fraternities. ,
It's not the first time the foliage which adorns the topmost
portion of the anatomy has made news, however. Through the
ages, the hair, along with the heart, was the most-mentioned
, physical attribute of human beings.
For instance there was the classical tale of Samson and Delilah.
Samson- was the Chuck Drazenovich of his day. Delilah, a slick
chick who knew how to handle a set of clippers as well as she
did men, robbed the ancient prototype of Bernarr McFadden of
his strenth simply by snipping off a few threadlike outgrowths.
But the paradox of today’s searching interest in hair, or lack
of it, is something novel in the annals of history. For while one
sex struggles to retain its natural growth of fuzz, the other fights
just as tenaciously to elminiate it.
AMONG MEN, hair tonics and restorers show astounding
sales gains. Scalp “specialists” have found themselves so burdened
down with'clients they arg forced to re-specialize.
We now have specialists in treating falling eyebrows, experts
in restoring “widow’s peaks,” others who, won’t handle a pase
unless it’s on. the back of the head, and still others who'treat
only droopy mustachios.
Women, on the other hand, sweep up hair depilatories’ from
sales counters almost as fast as their male counterparts grab up
restorers. Manufacturers have gone to extreme to make hair
removal easier for the female fatales.
There are special safety razors for the legs, liquid and cream
depilatories for face and limbs, and outlandish -hot wax treatments
to remove unbecoming fuzz on the female face. The latter shows
how much torture a woman will stand to get rid of the unsightly
five o’clock shadow. It consists of pouring molten wax over the
face. The wax removes the hair follicles by tearing off the top
three layers of skin when it is removed.
Of the two problems, woman’s is the ; easier to solve. There
are'many ways to get rid of ’the stuff and not one single known
method of restoring it. ' ■ ,
As one wag once said, “The only thing that will stop falling
hair is the floor.” '
