One of the topmost qualities a human can possess is tolerance. Tolerance is the vision that enables us to see things from another person's viewpoint. It is the generosity that concedes to others the right to their own opinions and peculiarities. It is the bigness that enables us to let others be happy in their own way.

The Auditor said: "You can't want a better job any more than the bo.ss wants a better man."

A man who was traveling in the mountains of Tennessee, stopped at a cabin and asked for a drink of water. An old woman brought it to him, and after drinking he had quite a talk with her, telling her great stories about his travels, and the wonders he had seen in various parts of the world. Finally he stopped to take a breath, and the old woman took her pipe out of her mouth and said:

"Stranger, if I knowed as much as you do I'd go som'ere and start a little grocery."

"When f was in the mercantile business," said the rich and retired store-keeper in a Southern city to a young man in the same line of business, "I made it a rule never to demand that a gentleman pay up."

"But," answered the puzzled younger man, "what on earth did you do when a gentleman failed to pay, as now and then they must have done?"

"Oh, in that case," replied the older man, "f decided the fellow was not a gentleman, and demanded my money."

The lmpoct Of The Common Morket

(Continueil from Page 6)

Take another example. Before the Common Market, U.S. and Italian manufacturers of radio and television transrnitters and receivers paid the same tariff rates on their shipments to West Germany-charges ranging from 72 to 75 percent on the various items within this particular tariff category.

Now, with a 40 percent reduition in the Common Market's internal duties, the Italian manufacturer pays tariffs ranging from 7 to 9 percent on this equipment shipped to Germany. The U.S.-manufacturer pays from 12.8 to 17.6 percent-or almost double the rate for the Italian-made equipment.

This new Trade Expansion Act is designed to provide fle-:iible authority rvith r,vhich to meet likely changes in the structures of trade and, more spe- cifically, to equip lhe President with new and necessary tools to negotiate increased access to the Common Market for all our products, farm and industrial. It is, I feel, the most impor- tant proposal yet made by the Kennedy Administration.

This Act would empower the President,over the next five vears to reduce existing tariffs by r.tp to 50 percent in bargaining with any country. It would also enable the President to reduce or eliminate entirely tariffs in bargaining rvith the Common Market countries on those groups of products in which 80 percent of world trade is in the hands of the EEC and of the U.S. together.

The negotiating authoriqv would be srrbject to modified peril point and escape clause provisions and to the ex- isting national security provisions. Reductions would have to be spaced over a five-year period, and we would make certain that they were fullv reciprocal.

- The proposed legislation would exp_and 9ur means for protecting U.S. producers from undue hardship through a program of Federal assisance to workers and companies to enable them to adjust to import compet1t10ns.

The Trade Expansion Act is necess,ary if the United States is to realize the full development of its domestic economy and seize the opportunities that beckon overseas.

This bill is essential if we are to demonstrate our faith in the free enterprise system, if we are to accept the challenge of new competition, if we are to grorv and flourish in a new world trade based on the increasingly freer flow of goods, capital, and services.

Every American has a stake in the President's Trade Expansion Act. E)very American will benefit through a stronger, healthier United States economy.

CHIP Nqtionol Adds Members

Betts-Sine Lumber Co. of Culver City and Viney Milliken Lrrmber Co. of Covina have joined the growing list of franchised dealers for CHIP, the Comprehensive Home Improvement Plan, according to an announcement by R. I. Williams, CHIP National NIanager.

"Benefits are many for CHIP franchise dealers," says lVilliams. "because we are offering them a complete home improvement plan, includiirg forms, selling equipment and advertising . and most important we go right into the yard to instruct the dealers in the use of these tools."

The CHIP National office is located at 33 E. Huntington Drive, No. 9, Arcadia, California.
