Statistics reveal that if every tax payer had to pay an equal share of the total national debt, it would come to $4,949, each, $107 more than at this time last year. It takes hundreds of nuts to hold a car together, but only one in the driver's seat to scatter it all over the highway. Truer words were never spoken. In grandpa's day they thought nothing of walking wherever they had to go, even if it was several miles. Now everybody must ride, even if it is only a few blocks.— i Sparta Ishmaelite. i | People would be much happier if they droped their petty prejudices and rememberd our time here is limited and there will come a time when they can spite their > enemies no more.—Exchange.

I We are now at the time of the year when many people will spend their leisure hours in the great outdoors. This is one of the most pleasurable times of the year for both the young and the old. | The summer can be one of the main hazards. Many persons will attempt to exercise more vigorously than during other seasons of the year and, combined with the warm weather, may suffer heat exhaus tion or heat stroke. Moderation in exercise when one gets overheated is highly desirable. | While enjoying the outdoors, there are many plants, vines and shrubs which are infectious on 'contact has been made with one of these poisonous growths, serious infection can result. Another danger during this time of the year results from water ac tivities participation: Both swim- 'ming and boating can be highly dangerous to those who do not take proper safety precautions while en joying their pleasures. The import ant things to remember while par ticipating in water sports is that safety as always furthered by numbers and good sound horse sense. With a little knowledge and a little precaution, the great pleasure What Is the Matter? What is the matter with this country? Hardly any two persons in this nation would agree on the answer to this question. This is not surprising, because the explanation of present problems (joes not lie in any particular in dictment. There are many causes. In fact, ther is probably no one who knows the complete answer. Efforts to understand our economic machinery are hindered by various factors, including self-interest. About the best thing that the av erage individual can do, if ques tions like this present themselves to his mind, is to forget about the nation for the moment and ask: “What’s the matter with me?” If the inquiry is pursued relent lessly, and with diligence, there is bound to be some result.—Dawson News. of outdoors can be enjoyed without running a very high risk of fatality and family disaster. Eeach year many people are killed and other family tragedies occur because of the lack of knowledge in these safety and precautionary meas ures.—Dawson News. Life as We Live It We, of today, live in a strenuous age, a t ime when everyone tries to get ahead faster than his neigh bor. We are prone to forget all about ideals in our mad rush to beat the other fellow. We talk about brotherly love, but all too often forget to practice it. Charity has been commercialized to such an extent that all the sweetness has been squeezed out of it. Greatest need of the world to day is more old-fashioned charac ter and kindness, a slowing up of the rush long enough for some of us to realize that we are not here for too long a time, after all. The best things that we can contribute to our times are tolerance and love. The surest method of receiving consideration is to give it. It is much more pleasant to slap a fel low on the back than to hit him on the jaw. This thing called life is a steep grade, but it affords an oppor tunity to give humanity a lift whenever needed. — Sunshine Magazine. Bro. Carey Williams says an old- timer is one who can recall when he never saw a woman wearing slacks on the streets. And he could have added when he didn't see them donning “short” shorts. Gold Star Parents Should Check Income Atlanta, Ga. — Parents who were not awarded compensation follow ing the death of a son in military service or as a result of service-con nected disability should regularly re-study their personal situation to determine it they are now eligible for such an award, Pete Wheeler, Director of the Ga. Department of Veterans Service, reports. Whether dependent parents are eligible for such monthly com pensation benefits depends on their their income. Dependency, within the terms of the law, can therefore arise after the death of a veteran as well as before his death, Wheel er said. A parent who could not prove de pendency because of income at the end of World War II, for instance, might now be eligible. Also a par ent or parent with the same income might now be eligible because of present burdensome medical ex penses. Such dependent parents or others who need assistance or information concerning any veteran’s benefits should contact their nearest Office of the Ga. Department of Veterans Service. The nearest Veterans Of fice is located in Butler. $313 Million in Tourist Dollars Foreseen for Ga. Atlanta, Ga. — An estimated $313 million will be spent in Geor gia this year by tourists according to Jack Minter, director of the Ga. Department of Commerce, the state’s No. 1 agency for promoting tourism. This amount, which is a $16 mil lion increase over 1961’s volume of 297 million, was determined by a continuing survey being conducted by the State Commerce Depaart- ment and the University of Geor gia’s Bureau of Business Research, Minter said. The survey also showed that more than 14 million recreational trips will be made in Georgia dur ing this year. And judging by the number of tourists inquiries pouring into the Commerce Department’s Tourist Di vision, there’s little doubt but that this will be a banner year. These requests for information and literature about Georgia, made in response to the Commerce De partment’s national advertising pro gram depicting Georgia as an “ideal vacation land,” have come |from all of the 50 states and from more than 20 foreign countries. An insurance company recently announced a now auto insurance plan that rewards student drivers who maintain high scholastic rat ings with a 20 per cent reduction from standard rates. Tax Foundation tells us what Federal budget cuts would mean to American families. A billion dollar reduction, it saye would allow each family of four to keep $18 and spend it the way it wishes, instead of paying it out in taxes. Some of the nutrients in green vegetables may be lost thru poor storage, so it’s necessary to buy green, leafy vegetables that are stored at low temperatures and then stored at home at low temp eratures until time for use. Someone has said: The man who uses Sunday only to sleep, to loaf around the house, to read secular papers, to do a few odd jobs need ing attention, and to take a joy ride, places a mighty small val uation on not the church, but his own soul. The feelings are to be disci plined, the passions are to be re strained; true and worthy motives are to be inspired; a profound re ligious feeling is to be instilled, and pure morality inculcated under all circumstances. All this is com prised in education. — Daniel Web ster. Peanuts are the third ranking cash crop in Georgia, averaging $60 million a year to South Georgia farmers who grow about one-third of the U.S. crop. Georgia ranks first among all states in acres of peanuts produced, and a 13-county area produces over 50 per cent of the states allotted acres.

The Fig Bush The fig bush, or tree, as it has often bean called, is perhaps the oldest bearer of delicious fruit known to the trade. Also has quite a historical background. It has withstood its share of raids and hard knocks. Must have been a size able bush when Old Adam and Eve in their first embarrassing and pan icky moments, hurriedly snatched some grown leaves therefrom for quick coverage. Some years later, the Master let fly with a stinging rebuke because it offered him no fruit one hot day. In more recent times, ants and birds have been landing on it full force, aided and abetted by chillun who can’t wait for the first fruit to ripen. It thrives in wet and dry warm weat+ier, but bitter blizzards of winter really cut the old bush down to ground level. Worms, for a wonder, must never have taken to figs, for which we are doubly thankful. A peach or apple worm inside a fine ripe fig. with cream poured over it for breakfast, would turn your tummy for six months plus.—Bartow Her ald.
