side. A massed choir and the Wes¬
leyan College Glee Club will be
on hand to furnish good music
This Victory Rally and similar
ones in the other 17 districts of
the state will bring to a close an
intensive visitation and preaching
evangelism in the Methodist chur¬
ches of Georgia.
People who have (Turing the
i week of this evangelistic effort
have expressed their faith in
Christ and indicated a desire to
join the church or who have de
decided to have their membership
moved to a church near their pres¬
ent residence, are especially in¬
vited to take part in this mass
meeting.
Plans are being made for a mo¬
torcade of cars to go so that all
who wish to go may have a way.
The pastor, the Rev. G. N. Rainey,
is especially anxious that the Fort
Valley Methodist Church be well
represented. There is a possibility
that there will not be an evening

expected that most of the member
shop will be in attendance at the
Macon meeting.

Looking Ahead
BY GEORGE S. BENSON
WASHINGTON — Did you get
a grant-in-aid check from Uncle
Sam last year? The chances are
didn’t. The chances are you
a healthy slice of your in¬
to the Federal government
taxes and received no grant of
kind. But in your state there
was some Federal money paid
subsidies, veterans benefits,
assistance, old age pay¬
and to the state govern¬
for highway construction,
dams, etc.
The trouble is that for every
you and the people of your
sent to Washington in taxes,
$6.52 (on the average) came
This wouldn’t be so bad if
weren’t so many billions go
to Washington and if the
each of us sends in to
Sam weren’t such a big
of our total income. In fiscal
1951, the 48 states and Hawaii
$65 billion to Washington and
back in “Federal air” only
billion. This Federal tax is
a big percentage of our com
income that we’re finding
impossible to raise enough lo
taxes to adequately operate the
services of our own state
local government.
Run To Washington
That’s true all over America,
being drained of our
potential by Washington,
thus we’re tempted more and
to run to Washington for the
of services we should
doing for ourselves as individ
or through our local govern
The more we do this the
centralized our government
the more power it has,
the less freedom we have.

Weve got the answer to a truck driver's prayer

FORT VALLEY
N. Macon Street Fort Valley, Georgia
recognizes this danger and he i*
detemined to do something about
it. The President wants to turn
the trend from centralized govern
ment. He has just asked Congress
to create a commission to thor
oughly study the present abnormal
relationship between Federal, state
and local governments, as regards
responsibilities, tax sources, and
grants-in-aid. He told Congress
the present situation is a “major
national problem.”
The Biggest x Threat
His message to Congress was
but a restatement of his declara
ti on made three years ago while
president of Columbia University
and when he apparently had no
thought of running for the presi
d enc y. I firmly believe,” he said
that time, “that the army of
people in America urging greater
and greater centralization of gov
ernment and greater dependence
upo n the federal treasury consti
tute a greater threat to this gov
ernment than any combination of
foreign foces that may be arrayed
against us.”
It bas been my p r j v ;i( ? g e recent
iy to work with a national
zation dedicated to eliminating
this threat by stimulating
liance at the grass-roots and thus
down on centralized gov
ernment. The organization is The
National Council for Community
Improvement. Its chairman is J.
C. Penney, founder of the depart
ment store chain bearing his name.
He is one of America’s outstand
ing citizens. As a member of the
council’s board of directors, I
spoke on the platform with
at the Council’s recent
nual meeting in St. Louis, and
again at New Orleans at a reg
ional meeting,
Rebirth Needed
j n his speeches, Mr. Penney
warne( j against the “slow but
„teady invasion of the states
tbe federal government, accom
pjj s hed first by seizing sources of
taxation traditionally held by the
states and locaJ communities, then
by handing back part of the mon
ey j n grants-in-aid. The effect,”
he said, H is substantially to put
the federal , ... dole with
states on a
resultant steady loss of sovereign
ty. !» The Council contends that
federal economy must begin at
home,
Its formal objectives are: (1)
To encourage more responsibility
and self-reliance in local
ities and the states; (2) to check
the tide toward centralization of
power in the federal government;
(3) to reduce pressure upon Con
gress exerted by communities to
obtain Federal air for local im
provement projects; and (4) to
urge greater economy in govern
spending. In his announced
policies and in recommending ere
ation of a commission to study
the Federal-state-local division of
sources and responsibilities,
President Eisenhower recognizes
the problem. Its root cause can on
ly be removed, however, by a re
birth of the great American spir
it of self-reliance—from the grass
roots up!

Weevil Control Is
WlStUSSCU jTk* „ J T> 13 J ««|x 1
There are plenty of boll weevils
coming out of hibernation to wreck
the prospects for a good cotton
crop unless they are controlled,
R. P, Swan, County Agent, says,
Hr. C. M. Beckham, Entomologist,
Georgia Experiment Station, direc-1
the spring trash examinations
to determine the survival of ever
wintering boll weevils, and he
found that the state average was
1.055 live weevils per acre of sur
face trash. An average of 78 per
cent of weevils entering hiberna
tion survived the winter.
This shows , ,, that , the ,. num
( survey
ber of overwintered weevils is
not unusually large, but the num
ber is sufficient to build up to
! dangerous proportions if the wea
ther is favorable during June and
July. |
It is time for early-season ap
plications of poison in the areas
where cotton has been up for a
week or two. One or two early ap
plications for thrips control and/or
the control of cutworms, flea bee
ties or flea hoppers will be bene
ficial where these insects are caus
ing damage. If boll weevils are
present, a weevil application
should be made just before squares
are large enough to puncture,
Such an application will often de
lay or even prevent a heavy build
up of weevils later in the season,
according to Dr. C. R .Jordan, Ex
tension Entomologist, Athens, Ga.
j Cotton farmers should purchase
and have on hand now at feast a
(part of the insecticides they an
ticipate they will need. This will
insure a plentiful supply of poi
son in case of heavy infestations
and demand. The supply of basic
chemicals is thought to be suf
ficient, but shortages an occur if
insecticides are not bought and
on the farm to make room
additional supplies in war**
