Another reason the racial question
will be a long time getting settled, is
that there are a lot of people making
a living on keeping the issue agitated.
These people are trying to prolong the
day when they will have to get a job
and go to work. xnow two or three
columnists who are so obsessed with
the idea that if they were going to
write an essay about pure spring water,
they would find some excuse to work
the racial question in it somewhere.

ODDS AND ENDS and a few ob
servations about this 'n that: Hiram
Sims, the service station operator, is
busting buttons off his shirt this week,
so proud is he of his first grandchild,
a girl born to Mr. and Mrs. - Jack
Winkler .. . If you ever get to longing
for the good old days, just think back
to the time when you had to cut a turn
of fire wood, and got your clean white
shirt all “smutty” carrying it in the
house, just when you were all ready
to go to Sunday School. . . And also
of the time when you had your base
ball glove, headed down the road and
was called back to draw water for a
thirsty old milk cow . . . Most folks
remember Sunday dinner at Grandma’s
house when they. talk about the good
old days. . .

A most delightful day I had Sunday
mingling with the Smiths and Halls at
their annual reunion, held in memory'
of Grandma Smith, who would be 104
years old if she were alive today. She'
lived to be 102. . . Never have seen
such a big table of pretty, good and
delicious food, and I bet I have seen
a thousand. . . There is going to be
baseball at Blakely Hi this year. Foot
ball has gotton such a hold in the high
schools nowadays that most of us have
forgotten that the grand old game of
baseball is being played. John Hughes
is coaching the team, and the first
game was played Thursday . . . Early
county’s big fat cattlf show is all set
for tonight. Thay tell me if you want
to see some real exciting fun, be ..o
to see the calf. scram?le. They are go
ing to turn*¥6ose 18 calves and let
some boys catch them. This event will
take place tonight at Standifer Field,
following. Phil Campbell's speech. . . .
The pretty days of early this week
caused an epidemic of fishing fever
to go surging over our town, and one
of the first to start running a high

I like that story about the fellow
who advertised for 3 University of
Georgia men, and it wasn't long after
he hired them before he replaced them
with one Tech man . . . Which reminds
me that Blakely has some boys attend
ing Tech, Johnny Holman and Chester
Stokes, and Charles Davenport, who
graduates this year, has made applica
tion to attend the same school. If Char
lie gets in, the odds will be about
right to stage a fight among Blakely's
Tech and Georgia supporters. There are
only 2 or 3 hundred Bulldog supporters
in Blakely,
SENIOR TRI-HI-Y MEETS
The Blakely Senior Tri-Hi-Y met
March 21, with Eileen Tarver, Presi
dent, presiding.
The program was turned over to
Diane Widener, program chairman, in
troducing Kay Smith, who read a paper
“The Effects of - Alcohol”.
Janice Mercer and Laura Underwood
told the girls about their trip to At
lanta where they attended the Youth
Assembly,
Janice Mercer, project chairman, re
ported that our project for the month
of March in the community would be
taking flowers to the patients at the
hospitals. Our school project will be
having a devotional over the public
address system.
Eileen reminded the girls of the
Christian Life Conference that will be
held in Albany on April 2, and hoped
they were all planning to attend.
The Senior Tri-Hi-Y was happy to
welcome their new leader, Mrs. Jan
Whitehurst.
The club had recently held a short
meeting to express to Mrs. King their
appreciation and love. They presented
her with a lovely salad bowl set. The
club was sorry to have Mrs. King leave
but wished her much success in her
new job.
Betty Arnold, chaplain, presented an
inspiring devotional. She read the
poem, “Myself”, by Poe.

Smith-Hall Reunion
Held At Kolomoki Park
The Kolomoki Park dining hall was
the scene of a gay gathering of mem
bers of the Smith and Hall families
Sunday. It was the annual reunion of
these two well known Early county
families. In prior years this was the
day when they met to honor the late
Mrs. A. D. Smith, Sr., on her birthday.
Since her passing two years ago, at
which time she was 102 years old, the
event has been held as a reunion.
A crowd estimated at 200 was pres
ent for this reunion and to partake of
the sumptuous dinner served at noon
time. A. D. Wilkerson delivered a short
eulogy to the memory of Grandma
Smith, and the Rev. David Thomas
gave the blessing. All of Mrs. Smith's
children were present. These are Mar
cine Smith, Newnan; A. D. Smith,
of Blakely, Curtis Smith, of Hilton,
and Mrs. Branch Temples, of Blakely.
Mrs. Smith has one sister, Mrs. J. W.
Swann, and a brother, J. B. Hall, but
neither was present because of illness.

(Editor's Note: The fol[uwini i 8 the first oé two columns
analyzing the report of the Pilcher Foreign Aid Study Mission.)
OF ALL THE studies made of
foreign aid, the first to result ina
truly-objective report is that re
cently completed by the Special
Mission of the House Committee
on Foreign Relations headed by
Georgia’s able and respected Con
gressman J. L. Pilcher of Meigs.
The Pilcher Mission spent 44
days last Fall circling the globe

BB enticity which
€ cannot be
shrugged off
by the starry-eyed advocates of
bigger and better foreign give
aways. While concluding that
foreign aid in its proper perspec- |
tive has a definite place as an in
strument of American foreign
policy, the Pilcher Mission em
phasized that it has gotten far’
afield and, despite the expendi
ture of more than SBO billion since ’
World War 11, is threatened with |
“ultimate failure.” Its report|
called for a “complete revision of
programs and operations.” l
e * -
THE PRINCIPAL criticism|
made by the Mission of foreign
aid as presently administered was !
its “illogical and impracticable
preoccupation with the buildingl
of large and costly projects at the I
expense of basic economic de
velopment.” It pointed out that'
the aim of the program should be |
simply that of “helping little |
people help themselves” and in-!
sisted that that could best be done I
by assisting in the provision of |
“an adequate food supply and |
elementary education.” l

Read The Advertisements in The News
‘ of “poor programming and exces
‘sive spending” and stressed the
}f:ct that in more than one in
‘stance operations “have actually
been hampered by an excess rath
er than a paucity of funds.” It
‘scored the building of “grandiose
‘dams and multi-million-dollar
fertilizer plants” as creating
“economic dislocation and con
fusion” and placing serious
strains upon the limited economic
capacities of the countries they
are aimed to help. @
- . »
PERHAPS THE MOST lauda
tory conclusion of the Mission
was that the United States no
longer is in an economic position
to continue spending $3 to $4
billion a year on foreign aid and
that those nations which it has
helped rehabilitate should now
“make every effort to assist” in
the military and economic de
velopment of the still-needy na
tions of the world. It bolstered
that assessment by citing the fact
that the American dollar is now
selling at a discount abroad and
many of the nations which the
United States helped get on their
feet have turned into economic
competitors,
The Mission warned that the
United States must take every
possible wise step “to protect our
own position in world trade as
well as the stability of the Ameri
can dollar.” Jt is due the grati
tude of every American for mak
ing it obvious from its findings
that the first of those steps must
be the “realistic review and re
appraisal of our aid program”
which it said is “immediately
necessary.”

¥ Quick Adjusting — You can changs
the angle of the disc gangs
quickly and easily from the
tractor seat. Rear gangs can be
adjusted to cut deeper or
shallower than the front gangs.
'/M Cutting —The flexible frame
is built exceptionally strong and
heavy. This puts more weight on
the discs so they will cut deeper.
V Flexible Frame —permits gangs to
follow ground contours for
smoother discing and smoother
seed beds.
