The couple will reside at their apartment in unemployment rate hovering around 7% in Maine and averaging Killeen, Texas. 6% throughout the nation? The answer::~ to these questions have to do with the fact that current economic policies, along with presenttax regulations, penalize for the most part the average wage- earner and consumer while those at the top of the financial scale solidify and even enhance their positions.
Given the current economic crisis in the United State and the high rate of unemployment, the government has the responsibility to provide all possible assistance to allev-iate the financial train currently experienced by most Americans. I believe Congress is embarking on two legislative approaches which should provide much of this assistance.
A way to aid the average American is to reform OLlr present tax code by. eliminating many of the unfair deductions, tax credits and tL ;ncentives which gnerally tend tofavorthose in the higher income brackets as well as large corporation. These tax loopholes actually amount to an expenditure which costs the federal gover.nment $60 billion annually. \\'hen we realize that 70%of all federal taxes are being paid by those with yearly incomes between 5 and $10,000, the inequity of our present system becomes ~laringly appraent. The tax code must be revised so that every wage earner assumes his fair share of the tax burden according to his ability to pay. There are a number oftax reform proposals encompassing these and other changes pending before Congress.
No one pretends that m·ore government jobs and certain tax reforms provide a complete answer to our current ul1employment-inflation delemma, but they certainly could be part of a solution. Hopefully we will see attempt along both these lines. Implemented as a result of legislative actions during this session of Congress.

DAGGETT'S "HANDS OF TRUST" PHARMACY THE ·. ffi FAMILY LAWYER w_! w
Fairly Free Private Enterprise Curbside flower vendors be·
can1e so nuffierous in a certain community that the regular florists began to complain about the competition. Finally, th.e city council passed a tough licensing law aimed at knocking rhe street vendors out of business ..
But when the new Jaw was tested in court, it was held null and void. The court said the city simply had no power to regulate a business as harmless as selling flowers.
Private enterprise, while not wholly free, still has considerable vitality. A city's "police power" does not include blanket authority, over all kinds of business activities, just because they happen to be within the city limits.
On the other band, a city may indeed impose restraints on a busine~s that has a real potentiaf for harm.
Consider the case of a man who started a telephone answering service. According to a city ordinance, he and his employees were supposed to submit to photographing and fingerprinting. Challenging the ordinance, the man said it was unfair to "single us cut."
But a court saw two ways in which ·a telephone answering service could be harmful:
I ) by the misuse of confidential information about subscribers; and
2) by the encouragement of immoral activities.
Upholding the city's requirements, the court said:
"There is a reasonable basis for distinguishing this type of business from others that are not regulated."
Another ordinance, covering private detectives; went still further. Under its terms, they had to pui up a special bond and get a character clearance from the police department.
But again, a court decided there were enough possibilities for mischief in this line of work to justify the city in taking precautions. As one judge put it:
"A statute to promote tbe public safety is valid, although it may interfere with individual freedom. Individual freedom must yield to the public good."

Dear Editor: Being a State Fish and Game employee, and close associated
with many sportsman througho'ut the State of Maine, I will take a few. moments to answer a few questions, regarding letter to the edttor of March 9, 1972. Signed: A Concemed Citizens.
Beaver are managed state wide by Fish & Game personal. Beaver openings, and closures are based mostly on population dataeachyear , compiled by professionals, and the aid of trappers.
There was no such a thing as "pressure" on beaver trapping on Sebec River. This ls misleading, and untrue. In fact, there. was one eolony closed on Sebec river this year. The .poor beaver does no~ have lin~ st?,pked food supply in the spring known as a. brush ptle. At thts ttme of year he is out feeding on fresh sapltngs. There has been some beaver live trapped in the Milo Area this past year, "not only in other communities." Beaver in this state are not be com lng extinct at the. present time. They have been on a slight increase since the 1940's. Thank to good management. ·
I've heard, and seen many complaints of a beaver cuttina a nice shade tree near a cottage, or home. Its quite true this beaver can be lived trapped in time, and moved. But you will have to grow a new shade tree, and maybe severaL This is only one reason why they should be managed, and kept under control.
I think we all owe a great deal of respect to most of our trappers, hunters, a~dfisherman. Theyhave donated money, time , and much expe nence. to the cause of our wildlife, museum's, Scouts-of America etc. You can 't buy experience, or get it out of a book.
I 'm sure I'd rather have my son going down the road with a flyrod, ora dozen muskrat traps, rather than down town on the corner with a can of beer.
Anyone inte_rested in obtaining any data on wildlife management can wnte, or <'all the Dept. Inland Fisheries and Game Augusta, Maine. This material is available for the public, and updated each year by professionals in their separate fields.

BACK-YARD FRONTIER: by Pr lly Bradley POLLU'TION, REAL AND IMAGINARY .
After years of. making imaginary anti -pollution machines to entertan Mommy the Conservationist, Randy has started mak-ing real pollution. . It began when he got his new chemisty set. He said he want
ed to mix chemicals to get rid of pollution. That's what he told me, anyway. But I got a different sotry
when I overheard him talking to his friend Johnny. '1 know ho\v to make real explosio," said Johnny. "Good"! said Randy. "Let's blow the house up." Only parents think the purpose of a chemistry set is to learn
about molecular reactions .•• every kid knows the real purpose is to try to make an explosion.
I said a short silent prayer and hoped the teen-aged salesman who sold me the chemistry set bad been right when he as· sured me, "It's impossible to make an explosion with this chemistry set.. I know. I tried."
Johnny and Randy mixed away as I kept a discreet eye upon them. ·
Soon they hac.l made a thick, purple glop, which they announced was an explosive.
"Maybe we'd better try it outside." said Randy, doubtfully. (He must like our house after all. )
\Ve all went outside to light it. Johnny made a long fuse, and 1 showed them how to shield themselves from teh forthcoming blast. '
When the fuse burned to the mixture, it promptly went out. Even with a little kindling wood mixed with the "explosive", " the fire went out.
But the boys were undaunted . Randy, in fact, ~\,as exh.i.larated. "Johnny! You've invented a fire extinguisher. "
Next they decided to make a volcano . They mixed a number of chemicals together, including a generaus amount of sulfure and all the old matchsticks that bad been sacrificed trying to light the explosive that turned out to be a fire extinguisher. · The mLxture was put into a volcano-shaped container of aluminum foil.
This time, after the experience of the "explosion," I made the mistaek of letting them light it inside.
After several tried , the "volcano" began to smoke and smoulder. It was far fro m shooting up flames, but the fumes were realistic enough.
The smell got worse and worse. Soon we were all choking. "Throw 'it outside ," I yelled, as I raced over to turn on the fan over the stove. "Quick" Op en the windows and doors."
we sputtered and wheezed and gasped. ·I looked to see if the boys were disappointed. But Randy was beaming. "Mommy! we've invented air pollution!"
I must have looked pretty dismal as I stood there coughing, because he came over and put his arm around me. "Don't worry, Mommy. Maybe next time we'll invent something to stop pollution."
I hope so. And I hope the whole world grows up in time to stop pollution before we all choke.

Ambulance Training Course 0 ffered
THREE RIVERS AMBULANCE SERVICE Chairman of the Three Rivers Ambulance Service , Willis Lan
caster, will be conducting a new training class for attendants to work on the ambulance. These classes will start the week of March 20th and completion of this course will qualify an indiv idual to apply for a license as a "Trained Attendant".
Anyone interested in taking this course should contact VVi.llis Lancaster at 943-2619.
Three Rivers Ambulance Service has now been in existence a littleoverayear. It started in business January 1 , 1971. Last year a total of 207 calls were responded to of these 108 were local calls and 99 were out of town calls .
Originally the ambulance was purchased by the county and given to Three Rivers Ambulance Service to operate. During the first year of operation the county donated $3666.66 in funds to be used for operation expenses. Town. of Milo donated $4125. 00 and the Town of LaGrange donated $500. 00. These donations were greatly appreciated and were very useful in getting the service organized and in the bullding of a garage for the ambulance. Through the interest and concern of some of our citizens a fairly successful first year of operation and at the close of the year operating costs showed a small profit of $1001.46 dollars.
Men who work on the a mbulance have not received any compensation for stand by time but have been paid at the rate of $3.00 per hour for time works. · Because these men have put In many hours already to serve the Community, the Board of Directors now hope to see an increased interest in this very much needed service and would urgE' anyone who feels he has some time he can contribute to the operation of this service in the capacity of either. attendant or driver to contact Willis Lancaster.

BACK- YARD FRONTIER by Polly Bradley
A weird combination of drought and flooding can be caused by these big parking lots and networks of roads that surround suburban shopping centers and fill the middle of towns.
Flooding. .. because the water all runs off so quickly that flash floods often results.
And drought ... because the water that runs off downstream isn't a va!lable for replenishing the ground water supply on which many towns depend for' water.
Now there may be a-pratical solution to the problem. A P.Or-; ous asphaltic pavement material has been developed by Edmund Thelen of the Franklln Institute Research baboratores in Philadelphia, according to a recent issue of Chemical and Engineering News. The new asphalt will allow up to ·70 inchP.s of water an hour to flow through. The ground water auply could be replenished even through the asphalt, arid flash floods would not be so likely to occur.
