The total debt of the Federal
Government of the United States
is now equivalent to a mortgage,
of more than $7 thousand for every
American family. It has risen by
more than $24 billion since the end
of World War II — an increase of
nine per cent during 15 years of
the greatest material prosperity
our Nation has ever known. Year
after year, our national output of
fods and services has gone up.
Year after year, the tax receipts of
our Federal Government have ris
en. But we have made no provision
whatsoever for paying off our na
tional debt. No law has ever been
passed, or even seriously consider
ed, that would require some form
of payment on the debt every year.

one of our exchanges.
Have you ever thought about how
little courtesy costs, yet how much
it can mean at times,? There are
many things we pay dearly for and
get little, but from courtesy there
stems more good than could ever be
evaluated.—Ocilla Star.
The numerous men around this
country who say they owe their
' success to their wives should take
J steps to liquidate the indebtedness.
They could do this by an extra
I portion of love and devotion, plus a

ings.—Ocilla Star.
The golden color of Southern pine
can be enhanced and emphasized
on wood paneled walls thru use
of a “natural” finish. By using
“stain” finishes with oil tints, the
hue can be changed to any color in
the spectrum without obscuring the
wood grain.
Did you know that there are
about 66,000 Georgians who cannot
even read the label on a bottle of

children get from school, or traffic
