Tax Increase
In Macon County
Oglethorpe, Ga. — The Macon
County Board of Commissioners,
folowing a series of discussions on
the county’s budget and the expect
ed tax income this week announced
that all land in the county, both
farm and woodland, would be in
creased in value for taxation pur
poses by $1.00 an acre, and all
residences in the principal com
munities, Oglethorpe, Montezuma,
Marshallville aid Ideal, would be
increased by $50.
(Mrs. Verna Griggs)
Jack Gilchrist, former farm editor
of the Atlanta Constitution who re
cently returned from a trip behind
the Iron Curtain w’as guest speaker
at a luncheon meeting of Reynolds
Kiwanis Club Friday. Gilchrist
brought colored slides made during
the trip to illustrate his talk.
Showing a slide of the TU-104
Russian jet on which he traveled to
Moscow, he compared this 2-en-
gined plane with our 4-engined jet
of the same model.
Easter Sunday was spent in Po
land and though Communists have
no faith in Christ and the Resurrec- 1
tion, the women were dressed in
bright, colorful dresses for the oc
casion.
It seemed that Russia does not;
have the broad middle class of
skilled workers as found in Ameri-'
ca. Even new buildings were most- 1
ly poorly built, according to Gil
christ. The people have no incentive
to work because they have no goal.
However, because they have never
had anything and have been under
domination from others so long,
they have nothing with which to
compare their lives.
Gilchrist found Russia bringing
in people from other countries and
“brainwashing” them in a so-called
training period . Thus less fortun
ate people see the bright side of
Communism.
Surprised at finding so many
people who spoke English, the
group of travelers found that all
teen agers studying to be teachers
must speak English. Our children
must compete with Russian chil
dren who are learning three for
eign languages and getting exten
sive cultural training.
Visitors for the occasion included
Robert Swearingen Jr., Billy Pen
nington of ASC Service, E. D. Good-
ner, wildlife specialist, and Clifford
Whatley.

Vacant Lot, South Side Court
House Square.
Plans to acquire a new- post of
fice in this city have been an
nounced by Postmaster General J.
E. Day.
“The new building,” Mr. Day
said, “is designed to carry out the
Post Office Department’s objective
of providing newly constructed pos
tal units where they are most urg
ently needed in the interest of
more efficient postal service and
improved working conditions for
postal employes.
“The emphasis in our lease con
struction program will continue to
be on adequate space for postal
operations, not only for current
needs but for the foreseeable fu
ture.
“The Department’s policy is to
use existing buildings where they
can be suitably altered or remodel
ed to meet the needs of the ever
increasing volume of mail. As cir
cumstances dictate, we will also
consider moving our postal opera
tions into more spacious quarters
if they are available.
“Where neither of these con
ditions is feasible we will authorize
the construction of new postal units
such as the post office at Butler.
The construction program is be
ing concentrated in those areas
where the need is urgent and suit
able space cannot be obtained ex
cept thru new construction.
The building in Butler will be
located on the south side of the
court house square in the location
where the old I. F. Peebles build
ing stood in other years. The de
partment holds an assignable op
tion on this site. Preliminary plans
call for a facility containing 3,009
square feet of floor space, to be
constructed on a site containing
10,138 square feet.
The Postmaster General said the
building will be constructed under
the Department’s Lease Construc
tion Program, which utilizes the
resources and investment funds of
private enterprise for needed pos
tal buildings.
The Department’s capital invest
ment, Mr. Day said, will be limited
to postal equipment. The building
will remain under private ownership
while leased to the Federal Govern
ment and the owner will pay local
real estate taxes.
Plans and specifications for the
new building, as well as bidding
forms and other pertinent data,
will be made available to prospec
tive bidders at an early date, at
which time the Post Office Depart
ment will advertise for bids. The
site will be transferred to the suc
cessful bidder who will purchase
the land, construct (he building
and lease it to the Department on
a long term basis.

Florida Students
Touring Eastern
United States
(Mrs. Verna Griggs)
A young lady in a beautiful sari
entered the local post office last
week and asked for an envelope
and 25c in stamps. This young
lady wanted to write home and this
was the exact amount needed for a
letter home.
Miss Merchant joined a group on
the street that were far from home
also. You see, the saris marked
them as natives of India.
These six students from Florida
State University are touring the
eastern United States during a 15
day vacation from school. Three of
the group hold doctor’s degrees in
chemistry and are doing further
study. The other three were work
ing toward degrees.
All of the students were friendly
and interested in our town. Just
passing through, they saw a drug
store and stopped for coffee. It
seems that friendliness, a smile,
and a cup of coffee is a universal
language regardless of natinality.
The group included Miss Sarla
Merchant, of Bombay; Dr. K. C.
Tewari, of Allahabad; Mr. S. Ghosfi
of Bengal; Dr. N. Viswanathan and
Dr. and Mrs. Rajappa of Madras..
