PRESIDENT ASKS FOR A
DANGEROUS POWER
There has been a great deal
the news lately about the
President Eisenhower asks in
der to be in a position to
his Middle East doctrine.
It is a grave and
power he asks.
There is always the
that his Middle East doctrine
be wrong, and if he is in a
to try to enforce it by the use
American troops there is
on hand the fear of
into war. And we have had
of war and its results.
We are
ced that
• j hower wants
H lasting peace,
but we also
■ aware of
B fact that if
■ troops are
B so readily
B able, there is
lot less likelihood that he will use
them without a period of deep and
sober thought.
In the first place, we think it
is time for the government to stop
trying to finance the entire world.
At least until we get to the point
where we are financing cur own
country on a sound, 100 cents to
the dollar, dollar.
The Middle East countries are
all ruled by men and dynastys that
are “loaded” with money or the
things which make money.
If those countries are so direly
in need of money and th * things
It will buy, why don’t they see
thait their rulers relinquish some
of their enormous wealth to ease
the pain.
And, if the rulers of those coun¬
tries don’t think enough of their
•own people to help them ' out of
their health and welfare squalor,
why should “Uncle Sugar” take
it upen himself to ease the bur¬
den? Aside from the belief that
we are our brothers’ keeper, the
Good Book also says that the Lord
helps those who help themselves.
TIME AND TRUTH CATCH
UP tViTH EVERYONE
One of the bitterest criticisms
of the Roosevelt and then the Tru
man administration was the fact
that the Federal government was
becoming too socialistic. We even
hear the same criticism sometimes
today.
And most frequently the criti¬
cism came from those who pro¬
fessed to a belief that four years
of a Republican president would
return the country almost to not>
maley.
Well, Ik* bs* been president for
four years and what is the situat¬
ion today?
The Federal government is now
spending half as much again for
social-welfare activities and bene¬
fits as did either of the two Pre
ceding presidents. And the value
at the dollar has gone down even
to lower levels.
Where is the normalcy they said
Ve would have?
In recent weeks two of the pr?s
ident’s top cabinet members have
let off steam that served only to
embarass the administration. Sec¬
retary of the Treasury Humphrie
got the ball to rolling when he
said that if the high spending and
high taxes are not stopped we are
very apt to find ourselves in the
midst of a depression that “will
make your hair curl.” (Like Ralph
McGill, if we know anything our
hair curled in the depression of
the thirties.)
As we said, truth will cut.
HOSPITAL FUND MADE
AVAILABLE BY GOVERNOR
Some time back it was announc¬
ed by the Peach County Hospital
Authority, headed by W. E. Greene
that an additibnal wing was need¬

Wrong Sam, down the road,
asked me the other day how he
ought to protect his chain saw dur

That’s a good question, I reckon,
for all us tree farmers and wood
owners to consider. 'Cause
proper care will assure better per

* V *
Before storing the saw, I always
clean the outside of the engine with
solvent, removing all dirt and saw¬
dust, especially around the cylinder
fins. I check screws for tightness and
replace any worn or damaged parts.
* * *
Then I drain the fuel tank com*
pleteiy and refill it with an espe¬
cially light fuel mixture. For thi: IS
special mixture, I use only half a
CU P of oil to a gallon of gasoline.
This allows plenty of lubrication,
but keeps the oil from settling i in
the carburetor. Then I start and run
the engine for 30 seconds to fill the
fuel system. This process prevents
condensation during storage. When
the saw is used again, this special
mixture must be removed, and the
tank refilled with normal mixture!
* * *
Then I remove the jpark plug;
pour an ottnee or so of 30-weight oil
into the cylinder; turn over the engine
h/ hand a few times to allow oil to
cm t the cylinder wall; and replace

Full Parish Status
Given St. Andrew’s
The 50th Council of the Diocese
of Atlanta, which met in Athens
last week, accepted the applicat; on
of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church
here in Fort Valley for ftll] parish
status.
Until 1944 St, Andrew’s existed
as a mission of the Episcopal Dio¬
cese of Atlanta. At that § ne it
was recognized as an Aided Par¬
ish, receiving some financial sup
pert for its operation from the
bishop. Full financial self-support,
which the congregation has now
reached, brings with it seve
rai responsibilities set forth in the
canon law of the Episcopal Church.
Also, full parish status grants to
the congregation the privilege of
calling their own rector, with the
approval of the bishop. Heretofore
the priests serving St. Andrew’s
have been sent here by the bishpp
as his vicar or priest-in-charge.
The recognition by the council
brings to a climax the determined
work of the vestry over the past
several years as te goal of Fi¬
nancial independence (yis been
gradually acre mplished.
