THERE IS NO reason why the
federal budget for 1957-58 should
be any greater than that of 1955-56
which totaled $66.5 billion. By all
economic yardsticks, it should be
less.
’ The inflated
$71.8 - billion
spending bill
currently pend
ing before Con
gress can be cut
by at least $5%
billion without
| reducing mili
| tary spending or
3» a %
curtailing a single essential pro
gram of civil benefits or services.
In addition, several other billions
could be saved through the adoption
of certain streamlining practices in
the operation of the nation’s defense
establishment.

THE ONLY EFFECTIVE way to
trim government spending without
arousing the ire of one group or
another, as I learned from my own
experience as Governor of Georgia,
is through across-the-board budget
reductions and refusal to inaugu
rate new spending programs. With
the exception of defense and debt
interest requirements, such a for
mula is needed to cope with the
present federal budgetary situation.
In that light, my view is that the
proposed budget should be reduced
as follows:
$1,584,000,000 —6% aeroßS-the
board reduction in all pro
grams of civil benefits and
services

Have You Stopped to Think?
By R. C. James
Pierce County Forest Ranger
On Sunday, March 24, Pierce county had a rainfall
of 3.17 inches in 24 hours.
By considering this 3.17 inches of rain as gallons of
water, 1 was surprised. Did you realize that 3.17 inches
of rain in Pierce county alone amounts to more than 18
billion gallons of waters? If we had to purchase this
amount of water from the City of Blackshear at the rate
of 20 cents per 1,000 gallons, this rain would have cost
the people of Pierce county more than 3% million dollars.
If you turned on a half-inch faucet and let it run wide
open day and night, it would require more than 4,900
years to discharge the amount of water that fell on Pierce
county in 24 hours.
If Jacob had been able to turn on a half-inch faucet
when he dug his well many years ago, It would have dis
charged less than half of this amount of water by the
time Jesus Christ was born. If the faucet had never
stopped running until this day, it would still have more
than 1,000 years to run before discharging the amount of
water that fell in Pierce county last Sunday.
Almost everyone agreed that we needed this amount
of rain at this time. We will need many times this amount
of rain to make a crop and help control the wild fires here
in Pierce county.
It has been said that water is priceless.
It is a fact that rainfall is free.
Have you stopped to think — and be thankful ?
Vandiver to Be Speaker at
Farm Festival in Folkston
The Charlton County FFA
Chapter is planning a big day
for April 18. The occasion will
be the second annual livestock

son bands and numerous floats.
The parade will be followed by
a horse show at 3:30 and the pre
liminary livestock show at 4:00
P.M. Presentation of the forestry
awards will be made at the pre
liminary livestock show.
Immediately following the pre
liminary livestock show, there
will be a horse racing event.
The finals of the livestock show
and the livestock sale will be
held at the football field of Folk
ston High School at 8:00 P.M.
and will include a calf scramble,

THE ACROSS-THE-BOARD cuts
could be absorbed almost entirely
through a reduction in federal per
sonnel along the lines recommended
by the House Manpower Utilization
Subcommittee headed by Georgia
Congressman James C. Davis. That
Group has found that 400,000 jobs
could be eliminated without detri
ment to federal services or, through
the reclassification and consolida
tion of duties as vacancies occur,
without dismissing a single em
ployee.
Tremendous defense savings could
be realized through a Congressional
review of unexpended appropria
tions to determine their, validity in
the light of the latest technological
advances as well as through a con
certed program to eliminate dupli
cation among the services and to
reduce manpower through utiliza
tion of latest developments and
ideas in weapons and tactics.

Growing Importance
Os Timber as Crop
Brings Fire Warning
The danger of forest wildfires
from spring drouth and high
winds brought a solemn warning
today that all Georgians should
use extreme caution with fire in
and near the woods during the
next few weeks.
“The timber crop is so im
portant that Georgia cannot af
ford to lose it,” said Herbert
Manley, chairman of the Georgia
Forest Industries Committee,
which sponsors the Georgia Tree
Farm program.
“Some of Georgia’s worst forest
wildfires have occurred in the
spring of the year,” said Manley.
“The forests of Georgia are now
so important that any serious out
break would cripple the economy
of the whole state.”
He said hundreds of small farm
ers and other landowners now
depend upon their timber as a
crop, and that sawmills, and
pulp-paper mills and other forest
industries must have wood as raw
materials for th^ir operations.
“Tree farmers market thous
ands of dollars worth of trees
each year,” said the chairman.
“The pretty part about it is that,
because trees grow, this crop
means a regular income.” Geor
gia’s forest land, he added, is
owned by 196,665 persons, with
only two out of every hundred
owning more than 500 acres each.
Manley said the forest indus
tries of Georgia provide 57,000
full-time jobs with an annual
payroll of $184,000,000.
“When you consider that the
forests provide steady income for
our farmers, jobs for our people
and raw materials for the mills
which manufacture goods worth
around $700,000,000 a year, you
can understand why it is so im
portant to protect the woods from
wildfires,” the industry spokes
man said.
