A Big Difference...
National Newspaper Week this year is
being celebrated during the October IS to
October 19 period.
There could not be a more fitting slo
gan than the one chosen for 1963. It is:
“Newspapers Make a Big Difference in Peo
ple’s Lives.” >
Most readers are certain to subscribe
to that statement, especially those who
have been deprived of their newspapers by
strikes and have found out how truly de
pendent they are on their newspapers, v
For the newspaper—particularly the
hometown newspaper—is much more than
a gatherer and dispenser of news. It is a
frontline fighter in the never-ending strug
gle to preserve our freedoms; it is a relent
less foe of corruption; it is a watchdog of
the public treasury and it unfailingly ex
poses any menace to national or community
well being.
And, best of all, anyone who finds fault
with that appraisal of the virtues of a com- b® no trials-by-jury.

those very newspapers—including this one.
act under the interstate commerce’ clause.
The ‘goods' involved here (such as the mus
tard at the hot dog stand), which may have
moved in interstate commerce, have ceased
to be in interstate commerce when they
come to rest within the borders of the
State.”
And the Senator notes that “when a
traveler stops traveling, even though he has
traveled from another state, and asks for a
place to sleep or a place to eat, he has brok
en the continuity of his traveling. His eat
ing, sleeping and recreational activity can
not be said to be a part of interstate com
merce.”
Title II is but one of the seven sections
of the civil rights bill, yet it, alone, “would
present a maze of legal tangles for busi
nessmen, lawyers and the courts.” And in
its enforcement, via hordes of Federal in
vestigators and Federal injunctions, pen
alties of fines and imrisonment would be
meted out by Federal judges. There would
Death In The
Hunting Season
Babson Discusses
Making Wills
Another hunting season is upon the
land. Millions of Americans will take to
the woods this fall in quest of every form
of game from cottontail rabbits to Canadi
an moose. All will go with high hopes of
success and of returning proudly home with
filled bags.
But, the American Medical Association
tells us at least 200 of these hunters will'
not return under their own power. They’ll
be brought back dead—the victims of hunt
ing accidents involving guns.
The rules of gun safety are fairly vol
uminous—but they're also simple, founded
on the hard rock of down-to-earth common
sense. Here are some of the basics:
Know what you’re firing at before you
pull the trigger—which means be certain
that rustle in the brush was made by a
deer, and not another hunter.
Never climb through or over a fence
without first unloading the gun.
Never shoot at a flat, hard surface—
ricochets can wound and kill.
Never Idol down the barrel of a gun to
see if it’s loaded. And keep the safety on
until you’re ready to shoot
Keep guns and ammunition away from
children.
Be absolutely sure guns carried into
camp are unloaded. Keep them cased until
your hunting area is reached.
Remember that alcohol and guns can be
a lethal mixture.
In sum, treat a gun with the respect it
deserves. Work on the principle that it’s
always loaded and ready to fire, even
though you know it isn’t Then all the
armies of hunters—yourself included—will
come home under their own power.

Several hundred years ago, excavations in Rome
revealed the ruins of ancient buildings.
The chambers of some of these buildings were dec
orated with ornaments and paintings of greatly dis
torted shapes and designs.
The Italians called a chamber such as this “grot-
ta,” an artfidal cave or grotto.
The fantastic fashion of the ornaments and paint
ings was called “grotteaca,” meaning grotto style.
Grottesca was adapted to French as “grotesque,” and
about 1640 the French form passed intact into English.
We still use the word to describe anything of a fan
tastic or bizarre shape or manner.

who has been promised immunity from
Title II, the “public accommodations” pro
visions of ‘The Civil Rights Act of 1963”
by both the Attorney General and Big
Brother, may choose her paying guests so
long as they occupy no more than five of
her rooms.
So it seems pre-established that the Ad
ministrators of the prospective omnibus
control act may discriminate, Mrs. Murphy
may discriminate, but Mr. Hilton may not.
But, Senator Sam Ervin, Jr., chairman
of the Senate Subcommittee on Constitu
tional Rights and that body’s recognized
authority on Constitutional law, has a more
fundamental objection to the measure. He
states that neither the 14th Amendment
nor the “interstate commerce” clause of
Article I of the Constitution itself—cited as
bases for Congressional action—are ap
plicable to discrimination in hotels, motels,
lodging houses, motion peture houses, res
taurants, stores and all other places of pub
lic accommodations named in the bill.
The “due process” and “equal protec-
tkm” clauses of the Amendment, says this
authority, apply only to State actions, not
those of individuals who operate the facili
ties. Further:

O'
Babson Park, Mass., October 10—Everyone
should make a will, and many should now make
a codicil. I give here reasons why- Too many
people die suddenly and unexpectedly (especially
in automobile accidents). While of course you
may live a long life, you also may die next week.
My wife, after many happy years which we had
together, died suddenly a few months ago after
only two days of illness. She had made her will
six years ago; but I am sure she would have
made many important changes but was too busy
to get to it
APPOINT TOUR OWN EXECUTOR
Reason 1. To be sure of having an executor
friendly to your interests and one who would be
pleased with your will, rather
than having some Judge per
haps appoint a friend of his as
executor with whom you might
not be satisfied. You can ap
point your own executor when
writing your will; but I would
not let the executor know what
it contains until after your
death.
« u, . . Reason S. If you die without a
***** • ' will and the court has to dis
burse your estate, it may feel obliged to adver
tise for heirs you might never have heard of.
Such expense and oompMcatioai can be largely
elminiated by making a will and appointing your
own executor. You can then also provide that
the executor give your beneficiaries property or
securities at a fair value instead of cash.
Reason S. By making a will you can give
your executor certain discriminatory powers,
like determining what property to sell and decid
ing various other things. You can directly will
certain articles of furniture, clothing, etc., to def
inite people and be sure things are done as you
would want to do them yourself, without fear of
litigation.
Reason 4. If a court should liquidate your es
tate, it might sell property hurriedly or during a
depression. By making a will you can give your
executor time and enable him to use his Judgment
and consult other people. This privilege could
save your estate thousands of dollars.
CONSIDER LEAVING MONEY IN TRUST
Reason 5. By making a will, you can arrange
to leave money in trust so that your brother or
sister or spouse may thus have the full income
during his or her lifetime and then have it go
to the children or to others. You may wish to
distribute your property in unequal proportion,
especially if one beneficiary is disabled or handi
capped. To do this, you must make a will or add
a codicil.
Reason 6. If the estate goes to a court-appoint
ed executor it may take two years or more before
being settled and your wife and family may have
nothing on which to live during this period. By
making a will you can authorize your executor
to pay your wife a certain amount each month
pending settlement of your estate, or to give her
more money if an unexpected illness or other
trouble should come.
Reason 7. I hope you will have some church
or charities, as well as friends, to whom you wish
to make a gift. This can be done only by execut
ing a will. The only hope of this old world is re
ligion; and the church holds the key and is the
doorway thereto.
CONSULT A GOOD LAWYER
Don’t try to make your own will or codicil
yourself to save a few dollars; but go to a good
lawyer. 1 re-read my will once every year—
usually on my birthday—usually make a codicil
as needed.
The lawyer should be a resident of your state;
laws differ in different states. He will tell you
how many witnesses must see you sign your will,
and explain that these witnesses should be people
who are NOT mentioned in the will or codicils
There also are other technicalities which your
lawyer will explain to you.
Finally, let me stress the importance of let
ting nobody except the lawyer who draws up the
will for you know its contents. Sign only the
original will and original codicils, and then take
these—sealed with red wax, to your bank for safe
keeping, getting a receipt. Have your lawyer
make only the original will and codicils, and only
one carbon copy which you keep UNSIGNED In
your safe deposit box to re-read once a year.
EVEN IF YOU HAVE ONLY VERY LITTLE
MONEY, YOU SHOULD MAKE A WILL!
