Winter Gets Rough
The experts who said we would
have another severe winter this
year seem to have been right — so
far.
Snow has reached all the way
down to Florida in the eastern
part of the country and in all sec
tions the winter has been getting
in hard licks. Despite the last
monthly forecast from the weather
bureau, which predicted some sec
tions would have warmed than nor

cold weather, blustery wind and
rain — in most of the country.

AN TALMADG
eports From
SHINGTON
AS PLEASANT AS is the
thought of n $4.2-billion federal
surplus next year, the unvar
nished truth of the matter is that
President Eisenhower has counted
his dollars before the Federal
Treasury collected them.
| For that prediction to become
fact it would bo necessary for
Congress to
increase pos
tal rates and
the gasoline
tax and for a
rising level of
economic ac
tivity to boost
__ the gross na-
,BHi ABi tioual product
1 from $180 to $510 billion this
year. This being an election year,
, it is hardly likely that Congress
will vote to put any further bur-
\ den of any description on the
t taxpayer and, as for the economic
future of the nation, it is any
body’s guess as to whether pres
ent prosperity will continue. In
the latter connection, it. might be
noted that on January 4 U. S.
News and World Report stated,
on the basis of interviews with
economic experts, that “the boom
in business is likely to be checked
at some point in the second half
Of 1960.”
THE COUNTRY’S foremost
authority on fiscal affairs, Sen-
ator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia,
has observed that accurate budget
* estimates 18 months in advance
! are “extremely rare.” He points
out that a surplus also was
predicted for fiscal 1959, yet
recession caused the Government
[ to close the year with a $12.6-
j billion deficit, the largest in
peacetime history.
The fatal flaw' in the rosy
! budget picture painted by Presi
1 dent Eisenhower is that the an
ticipated surplus is based upon
17 M
increased revenue collections
rather than reduced expenditures.
The proposed budget cnlls for an
increase of nearly $1 billion in
domestic-civilian expenditures, in
cluding some 42,000 new federal
employees, and for a new foreign
aid outlay of more than $4.1
billion.
Even assuming that federal tax!
collections would increase by
5.7 billion to $84 billion, it is
difficult to see how such could bo
accomplished without a consider
able worsening of inflation. Since
more inflation would inevitably
mean higher government costs,
any increased government income
would quickly wind up ns in
creased outgo in the form of
requests for supplemental appro
priations.
I (Woodrow Melton) have lived in Taylor County, Georgia
more than eighteen years. I am forty-two years old, weight 235
pounds. I have a wife and five children. (Three girls and two
boys.)
I promise if elected to the Sheriff’s Office of Taylor Coun
ty that this office will be run in a decent and orderly manner at
all times to the best of my ability.
I promise to be available seven days a week, twenty-four
hours a day, if neeed; answer all calls, large or small.
I promise that I will work with the churches and other pub
lic organizations 100 per cent at all times. I will treat each and
everyone fair and alike.
I will have but one full time Deputy. His name will be an
nounced in the County paper.
I promies that I will not be attached to any Liquor Ring
whatsoever. I will work with the State and Federal authorities at
all times.
If you will elect me as your Sheriff it will be with no strings
attached. Thereby I can carry out any promises that I have
made.
I am asking you for your vote and support in my behalf
for the Sheriff’s Office of Taylor County, Georgia.
Sincerely Yours,
WOODROW MELTON.
(Pd. Polit. Ad)
THE PROSPECT OF a size
able surplus, even though only a"
paper one, already has spenders
in Congress licking their chops.
It is a foregone conclusion that
those who are more interested in
winning the November election
than in serving the national wel
fare will uso it as an excuse to
push all manner of high-sounding
spending schemes.
As much as I applaud and sup
port the President’s call for a
balanced budget and an end to
deficit spending, I cannot agree
that they can be achieved by in
creasing federal spending with
no more justification than some
one’s prediction about increased
future revenue. I am convinced
that the way to go about achiev
ing those ends — as well as be
ginning repayment of the na
tional debt — is to cut rather
than increase appropriations in
all categories.
The introduction of small, Euro
pean type automobiles by the ma
jor companies of America has been
success.
Already, the three major com
panies are planning to build more
small cars than they had antici
pated in the present year. Produc
tion of Chrysler’s Valiant is being
moved up in April, estimates by
the Ford Company of its sales of
Falcons have been doubled and
likewise Chevrolet's Corvair is sell
ing at a good clip.
In addition to all this, new
cars are to be introduced bv TJ. S.
makers. The next to appear will be
Ford product called the Comet,
which will go on sale late this
month or in March. The Comet is a
compact car but is larger than
most of the other small cars and
has some luxury features. It is
said that General Motors will in
troduce one or more of these
slightly larger compact cars later
this year.
Some of them, it is understood
may contain aluminum V-8 mo
tors.
At least one Chrysler automobile
will probably have a new type com
pact car, slightly larger, available
in the fall. But perhaps the biggest
auto news of all is Ford's plan to
introduce a small car which is even
smaller than those which
have been introduced this year. It
is to be a 4-cylinder car, designed
specifically to meet the compe
tition of Volkswagon and Renault,
both of which have sold well in
the United States in recent years.
Ford’s new car is expected to
sell for around $1,700. It is ex
pected to go on sale next year.
Phillip Brooks Said:
(not prepared or printed at gotemment expeme)
“You who are letting your
friend’s heart ache for a word of
appreciation which you mean to
give him sometime, if only you
[could know and see and feel, all of
a sudden, that the time is short
[how it would break the spell. How
(you would go instantly and do the
things you might never have a
chance to do.” Speak that friendly
sentence, write that friendly letter
do the kindly deed today. To ex
press emotion to make people feel
better is to enrich oneself.
The amazing fact about our edu
cational processes is the very lit
tle that students seem to learn.
