And today the payoff comes at 2.p.m. when the Lions take on the Temple Owls at South Hall in Philadelphia. "The morale of the team is good," was Coach Gene Wett stone's departing comment. All eyes will be on his two sophomores Lee Cunningham - and Jay Werner—known around here as the "Gold-Dust Twins" because they are more valuable than gold to Wett stone. "I have never had two such outstanding sop h o more athletes at the same time." said the successful Wetlstone. "There's. promise in those Iwo, but there's also insecur ity," he warned. "It will be in- teresting to see how they ma• ture." Besides competing in their first ;intercollegiate meet today, the "Gold-dust Twins" will be com peting against each other (in a friendly way). . During their freshman cam paign last year, the two competed t ogether in only one event— Itumbling—and Cunningham won i both times by I-point margins. I But in today's meet. the two will be competing with each 1 other (and Temple) in two dif -1 ferent events—the parallel bars I and the horizontal bars. Wer t ner is rated the better chance lof winning the p-bar event due I to his superior strength. But Cunningham has a better rou line on the high bar and is ex -1 pected to even things there. Both will have to have a got.d day to beat Lion Captain Bob IFoht on the parallels. Foht was !third in the Easterns last year behind his victorious teammate Armando Vega and Navy's IC...ri McNutt. Neither Vega nor Mc i Nutt will compete this year, leav ling the event open to a new 'champion—and Foht and Werner are being given top consideration Ito follow in Vega's footsteps.

In fact, about 24: out of every dollar on the average family electric bill goes for taxes. Q: Does everyone pay this much tax in his eiectric A: No. Several million American families ami bud , nesses pay a far smaller tax—only a fraction of the tax you pay. Q: Who are these "privileged" people? A: People who get electricity from federal government electric systems. Q: Why clon'i they pay the same taxes you pay? A: A strange twist in federal law exempts them from paying most of the taxes in electric bills that you pay—because they get their electricity front federal electric systems. Isn't that unfair? Shouldn't every American pay his fair share of taxes? A: Yes. American standards of fair play► tali for each citizen to pay his fair share of taxes.
