Cards, keys, carrots found-at cleaners?
By Rea Wilson Kansan Staff Reporter
Carrots, cigarette butts, hose, candy wrappers and gum. No, it's not garbage. These items are only a few of the many items Lawrence laundries and drycleaners find in pockets of clothes.
"You name it and we find it," said a spokesman for one Lawrence dry cleaners.
"Once a doctor put carrots, lettuce, cabbage, and all this stuff in his pockets to see of we would find it all. We made a list, and when we showed it to him he told us we'd missed a carrot," the spokesman said.
Vegetables are not, however,
the most common items the lau-
dries discover. Gum, cigarettes,
pocket knives, and driver's
licenses seem to be tied for the
most popular paraphanalia left in pockets.
Occasionally, money is left in pockets. Although most of the laundries said they seldom find money, one laundry reported finding $2,000.
"Another time a boy left four $20 bills in his pants pockets. It was a week before he returned to claim the money," a spokesman for the laundry said.
Fraternity pins, earrings, rings and other jewelry are also often discovered, the laundries said.
Another laundry said reports and other important papers are frequently pulled out of clothes.
"We look over the papers to see if they are important enough to save. If they are we send them back to their owner," the laundry spokesman said.
Winn raps LBJ spending
Rep. Larry Winn Jr., R-Kan,
predicted Monday President Lyndon Johnson would ask the 91st Congress for a 15 per cent increase in taxes to prepare the country for the 10 per cent increase he wants.
Winn said this at a meeting of the Lawrence Republican Women in the Hotel Eldridge.
The taxpayer's candidate for 1968 comes in the form of the Republican party, Winn said.
He also said the "battle of the budget" concerns him more than any other subject today except Vietnam. Winn accused the Democratic-majority 90th Congress of "rubber-stamping administration bills."
He said he believed the Admin-

Students in the program will spend one-fourth of their time in the advanced study of a science, mathematics, or the history of science.
whm said republican Congressmen would push a reduction in non-essential spending, would back riot-control bills, and insure clean and orderly elections in the next session of Congress.
"We want to provide realistically for the training necessary to produce philosophers of science," Richard Cole, director of graduate studies in the department of philosophy, said.
The program will be of four years duration.

A new Ph.D. program in the philosophy of science is being introduced next fall by the department of philosophy at KU.
Other articles which are perhaps more necessary for every day living such as car keys, credit cards, check books, and eyeglasses are popular at another Lawrence dry cleaners.
Seventeen departments, ranging from anthropology to zoology are cooperating in the program.
