The Federal income tax is one of those remote con- trol propositions, it’s completely detached from every- day living. You'#e stuck with it, and you accept it. Like the car registration, where you pay the same, whether you drive a Caddie or a 1951 Chevvie. But with a purely local tax, too many local people going to know entirely too much about your business. There is also the definite possibility that there will be a State income tax, in addition to the Federal and the local income taxes. When this comes to pass, there are a good many folks who are going to wonder why they continue to beat their heads against a stone wall making a living, when the government is willing to fork over for the abolish- ment of poverty. are a / Get A Lead Of DeWitt's Remedy For Feeling Down In The Mouth Jan. 12, 1966 Dear Hix: | I have been thinking of this] problem of store teeth, and I have | come up with some observations. | The dentists that make ‘em ought to be made to break them in for the unsuspecting victims. Here is the proposition; they go to work and yank and otherwise separate us from nature's imple- | ments which have served us faith- | fully all these umpty years. Most of the teeth were in “good as new’ condition with the exception of some strippings and pot holes. We have to go around with these holes in our head until the dentist thinks | he can make an impression. Den- tists don’t impress me much, they are so down in the mouth. And when the day comes to get your dentures you find them set | up like a row of corn on a perfect ear. Now anybodv can snot ‘em at the end of a football field, they are a dead giveaway. Why can’t they imitate a guy with normal teeth! and give a guy a break and bolster up a guv’s ego because at my age | my ego can stand a lot of] bolstering ? My trouble is both uppers and | lowers. One advantage of dentures - | as dentists love to call ‘em, is that | you can take ‘em out and scour! | tongue has them with Dutch Cleanser or what- ever is handy. That's the only ad- vantage I can see in dentures. I wasn’t so bad to look at before this dentist talked me into them in his persuasive way, but now I look like I had been in a fight and my upper | lip was out of joint, sorta on the lantern jaw side. Every time I cough I have to hang onto my up- pers with my tongue, and my a charley horse from holding the plate up. Next thing I know I'll have neuralgia in my tongue, something that should hap- pen only to women. Most of the time I get half .way to town and my tongue sloshes around to notify me that I forgot my dentures. T can’t half talk, much less sing -- I'm afraid of the high notes and the uppers flying out. Why I can’t even whistle any more. | I have tried all the mucilage they | sell in the drugstore to hold uppers in place so you can even eat an apple but when you take the uppers | out at night half the palate comes out with them. There ought to be |a law. Why 1 know of a Priest up in Inkerman who had to have some new china for his dinner, and the “committee” sent to Sears Roebuck | in Chicago for some choppers.

They finally got him fixed up, and about that time the Top Brass in Scranton moved the Priest over to Moosic. The “committee” held a meeting and warned the Top Brass in Scranton that the next Priest they sent to Inkerman would have to have a good solid set of teeth, or no soap. I talked with the dentist today and he said he would fix me up for a slight additional fee. Y’know it's gittin’ so five dollars don’t last you three weeks anymore.

More progressive Dallas citizens have been heard to say that they are quite willing to pay more local tax if it helps the borough.
