Z. T. Johnson
Tells Kiwanis
About Inflation
Dr. Z. T. Johnson, President
Emeritus of Asbury College and
Bible Study teacher at the In
dian Springs Camp Ground for
many years, Tuesday night proved
to Jackson Kiwanians that he is
adept on the banquet circuit as
he is forceful behind the pulpit
with a most interesting and
knowledgeable talk on “Infla
tion.” The program was arranged
by P. H. Weaver.
The speaker defined inflation
“as the presence of cheap money”
and pointed to the spiraling of
wages and prices in our nation
that will certainly lead to a de
pression or recession unless in
flation can be satisfactorily con
trolled or curbed. Mr. Johnson
told of the visit some years ago
with Paul Papas on an Island in
the Agean Sea. Mr. Johnson re
lated how he purchased two and
one-half pounds of beef for a
picnic and paid $32,000 in Greek
currency for the Argentina beef.
The speaker also related how he
purchased a $75 bond some 28
or 29 years ago which currently
would be worth approximately
$l4B. He told of the government's
effort to slow inflation by the
sur-tax and by raising of interest
rates by the Federal Reserve
System. He closed his talk by
terming inflation “a merry go
round” on which the American
people are riding for a fall.

Rattler Killed
Wednesday At
Indian Springs
Mr. Julius Spoon of Indian
Springs had the dubious honor
last Wednesday afternoon, July
1 fi, of killing one of the few rat
tlesnakes ever reported seen in
the county.
Mr. Spoon related that he was
demolishing a chimney of an old
building on his property at In
dian Springs when he discovered
the 2Vi foot rattler, boasting five
rattles, coiled in the fireplace
of the old dwelling which burned
some 30 or 40 years ago. Mr.
Spoon quickly killed the snake
with a hoe and threw the re
mains on a fire at which he was
burning brush nearby.
While rattlesnakes are quite
common in north and south Geor
gia not too many are believed to
inhabit the central portion of the
state. This is believed to be one
of the few instances in which a
rattler has been killed in Butts
county.
