IT’S THIS WAY
BY DOYLE JONES, JR.
Jest of the Week: They had
been married just a week and he
was going through a batch of
mail that had arrived that morn
ing.
“Honey,” he said, “aren’t these
bills for the clothes you bought
before we were married?”
“Yes, darling,” she replied:
“You’re not upset about it, are
you?”
“Well,” he retorted, “don’t you
think it’s unfair to ask a fish to
pay for the bait he was caught
with?”—Trux.
We send congratulations to the
Eatonton Messenger on their
wonderfully fine 24 page special
edition published last week in
connection with Putnam County’s
11th annual Dairy Festival Wed
nesday, June 6th. It was chock
full of news, pictures, special
features, and ads.
Eatonton and Putnam County
deserve much praise in develop
ing their Dairy Festival into one
of middle Georgia’s premier
events, ranking alongside Wood
bury’s Pimiento Festival and
Jackson’s Industrial Day as three
of the state’s outstanding single
day observances.
Editor and Mrs. Battle Smith
and their staff worked long, hard
hours to make this edition pos
sible. The finished product is *
credit to The Messenger and to
the event which it honors.
Perhaps the best news ema
nating from Atlanta as viewed in
the hinterlands was the encourag
ing announcement Friday that a
new stadium appears a reality
and by 1964!
This proposed facility would
seat 45,000 for major league
baseball and 65,000 for profes
sional football. The 38-acre site is
south of the state capitol, near
an Expressway interchange and
convenient to all of Atlanta.
It is believed that the stadium
will be far advanced to permit
major league ball next Spring and
grid games by the 1965 season.
Both major leagues will be in
vited to consider shifting a fran
chise to Atlanta by the '64 seas
on, and feelers have been extend
ed to the National Football
League for an Atlanta entry in
the senior grid circuit.
Perhaps no city of comparable
size in our nation has dragged its
feet as badly as Atlanta on the
question of stadium construction.
Atlanta has long been adjudged a
major league city with no place
for athletes to display their wares
except in the band-box confines
of Grant Field. It is generally
conceded that Tech in home games
against Georgia, Alabama, Ten
nessee and Auburn could fill a
stadium of 76,000 capacity. Yet
hampered and hamstrung by the
seating inadequacies of ancient
Grant Field, Tech continues to
play before capacity crowds of
54,000. and to that number only
since the double decking of the
east stands last year.
If there are any qualms about
the new stadium, it is the seating
capacity for football. Surely At
lanta can afford a stadium to seat
75 or 80,000 fans to view top
drawer college and pro grid at
tractions. Why begin with a stad
ium too small at the outset? But
half a loaf is better than none.

Guest Editorial
ASHEVILLE (N. C.) CITIZEN
THE TIME SEEMS RIPE
TO BEND A PRINCIPLE
We’ve never been keen on urging our readers, edi
torially, to write their Congressman in behalf of any
specific bill or program. After all, the urge is implicit
in whatever stand we take.
We depart that policy today because we believe
the matter at hand is not generally understood, and
because we suspect it needs public push to clear the
Congress.
It’s a bill, introduced in the
last session, that would exempt
bulk commodities and agricultural
products from minimum rate reg
ulation by the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
It would permit the public car
riers to fix, on their own initia
tive the lowest rates for their
bulk shipments, while the I.C.C.
would continue to control the
highest rate that could be char
ged.
This legislation is of economic
importance to North Carolina and
to the Southeast.
While “bulk commodities” in
clude coal, sand, sugar, salt,
cement, etc., the item that affects
the South’s economy most is
grain, because the South is a
grain-importing section. Under
present rate schedules, it costs
from 30 to 40 cents a bushel to
ship grain from the Middle West
into North Carolina. This means
higher feed prices for the farmer.
Ultimately the consumer pays
more for eggs, poultry, meat, and
bread.
The high cost of shipping grain
has had a sharper impact on
North Carolina’s economy since
the inception of the Feed-Grain
program. By paying many N. C.
farmers to take their land out of
corn production, the Feed-Grain
program has had the effect of in
creasing North Carolina’s pur

say Mr. and Mrs. J. I. Adams
Rome, Georgia
“When we built our home,” explains Mr.
Adams, “we decided on all-electric. And. be
cause we wanted year-round comfort, we
installed a heat pump.”
Mr. Adams never touches the thermostat
in his home. An electric heat pump heats in
winter, cools in summer. It switches automat
ically from heating to cooling and back again.
“Electric heating and cooking are so clean,”
says Mrs. Adams, “I find 1 save lots of time
on routine housecleaning. And,” she adds,
“with a baby in the house you need hot water
all the time. Our electric water heater keeps
it coming.”

chases of grain from the Middle
West. This adds approximately $5
million a year to the feed costs
of N. C. livestock and poultry
producers.
By constructing specially-de
signed lightweight aluminum cars,
with greater carrying capacity,
and by providing for multiple car
shipments, the railroads are now
ready to make heavy reductions
in their charges for hauling grab..
But under I.C.C. regulations they
are not permitted to do this with
out the Commission’s consent,
and full approval has not been
granted even after many months
of hearings.
There is opposition to this leg
islation from competing barge
lines, which are exempt from reg
ulations in their charges for haul
ing all bulk commodities, and
from highway truckers, who are
exempt from the rate regulation
on agricultural products.
But this measure, while it will
help the ailing railroads to regain
business, is also in the public in
terest. It does not take away
the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion’s power to regulate rate in
creases. It applies only to mini
mum rates.
The people of North Carolina
have a real stake in the passage
of this bill. We invite our readers
to say so.
