Be charitable, if you can, in your judgment
of others; save severity for your own mistakes.
When the doctor advises a rest, you had better
take a short one and, maybe, avoid a longer one.

Not many Americans read books....there are
people who go to sleep when they try to think.
Those who founded the United States would
probabbly be amazed at what it is today.
The world has many people anxious to help
you along, when you no longer require assist
ance.
CUMMING’S business depends largely upon
the cooperation of our business men and our
citizens.
The go-to-church drive can receive your sup
port, regardless of whether other people fall in
lino, or not.
Speaking of sracasm, have you ever listened
to a woman telling about another woman’s ways
with married men?
The sporadic advertiser is like the man who
faithfully took his medicine three days and then
forgot about it.
There are some people who fail, but do not
envy others their success, having built their lives
on their own terms.
When a citizens gets the idea that he is a
bit better than the people among whom he lives,
the time has come to move along.
If you really want to know what a fellow
thinks of himself, you ought to hear him talk to
a group of strangers about 500 miles from home.
The government of GUMMING, like all gov
ernments, is as good as the people of this area
have the right to expect, considering the nature
of the people themselves.
* WATCH FOR SCHOOL BUSES
We have some advice for our readers that
we have given from time to time at this time of
year, but we offer no apologies on this score,
since we feel it bears repeating.
Under the law in practically every part of
*his country, drivers are required to stop when
school buses are discharging or taking on pas
sengers. This means that drivers approaching
or following a school bus are required to stop.
In hilly areas, in poor visibility, or on curves,
cars traveling at today’s high speedsare often
hard-pressed to stop if they do not see a stand
ing bus a good distance ahead. Althugh school
buses are supposed to show blinking lights, or
stop signals, in the form of a raised sign, or in
some other fashion, these signals are sometimes
flashed dangerously late by the driver, and on
coming cars are given very little time to stop.

COVERING PLANTS
During cold spells many of us
have used boxes, plastic hags, and
other variou fabric to cover ands
protect valuable ornamental plants.
Recent research at the University
of Georgia indicates that If these
covers are left over some orna
mental plants too long they are
harmful to them.
In the tests to determine effects
of the covers azelea plants were
used. Damage to these plants in
creased according to the length of
coverage time. Even three days of
covering caused damage, and one
week of coverage caused consider
able more. In the 1-week test, 30
percent of the flower buds were
killed on plants under black plas
tic, 35 percent when under clear
plastic, 17 percent when under card
board hoxes, and 1 percent on the
non-covered plants.
In conclusion, the investigators
sav that although the tests dealt
primarily with azelea'plants, it is
possible that other shrubs would
react in a similar fashion to these
covers. The researchers say that if
covers are used at all. they should
be taken off during the days.
INCOME TAX MANAGEMENT
Todav, when cutting costs is so
important to earning profit in farm
ing, farmers should not only be
experts on efficient farming prac
tices, hut also experts on income
tax. With good management, in
come taxes—like many other costs
—can be reduced. The government
does not expect to receive more
than the amount due. Managing
farm business in such a way that
the amount of taxes paid over a
period of years is no more than
the legal minimum is just good
business.
One important way of reducing
taxes is to spread the annual net
income as evenly as possible over
a period of years. Capital gains
provisions, methods of depreciation
and transactions involving non
business property are other im
portant considerations.
