THE 87TH CONGRESS now
underway will not be without its
blessings, but they will be mixed
at best.
The most pleasing prospects of
the First Session are that it
i 2^^
(will devise and
enact a realis
tic new farm
: program to
save the na
tion’s agricul
tural economy
| and that it will
I effect the reor
| ganization and
M J J.L, r. o I T 11 Z1 C*

appropriate the additional funds
essential to bolstering our lag
ging defenses and closing the mis
sile gap. The most alarming
prospects, on the other hand, are
that determined attempts will be
made to implement all of the ob
noxious “civil rights” provisions
of the Democratic Platform to the
detriment of constitutional princi
ples and that concerted efforts will
be made to inaugurate new spend
ing programs both at home and
abroad which will further jeopar
dize the soundness of the dollar
and thwart the achievement of fis
cal responsibility in the Federal
Government.
IT IS GENERALLY agreed
that Congress has a mandate to
write new farm legislation this
year, but the difficulty lies in
finding common ground among
the varying viewpoints as to the
approach it should take. There
is little enthusiasm among either
farmers or consumers for more
■ stringent acreage controls and
there is some sentiment for solu
tion on a commodity-by-commod
ity basis. Much favorable interest
has been expressed in the Tal
madge Farm Plan, particularly as
it applies to cotton, and the bill
embodying it is ready for intro
duction at the earliest .possible
time.

Births
Ricky Marcus Dußose
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Dußose of
Route 2, Nahunta, announce the
birth of a son on December 28
in the Pierce County Hospital.
The infant weighed 7 pounds
and two and one-half ounces at
birth and is named Ricky Mar
cus.
The maternal grandparents are
Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Crews of
Hoboken. Paternal grandparents
are Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Dußose
of Nahunta.
Mrs. Dubose is the former Miss
Rosa Mae Crews.
There will be little or no oppo
sition to increased appropriations
for defense, particularly for ac
celeration of all phases of the
missile program. There undoubt
edly will be differences as to how
the Department of Defense should
be reorganized to assure maxi
mum efficiency and performance
in the development of a superior
defense establishment, but pro
posals for modernization of the
Army and Marine Corps, expan
sion of our airlift capacity, de
velopment of the B-70 manned
bomber and greater emphasis on
Polaris submarines and improved
capability of missiles of all ranges
will have virtually-universal sup
port
at*
RADICALS OF BOTH parties
will compete to see who can in
troduce the harshest force bills in
the field of human relations and
propose the most extravagant
spending programs. Measures em
bracing every means ever pro
posed for punishing the South and
reviving all the socialistic welfare
schemes which previously have
been defeated or vetoed will be
offered. How they fare will de
pend in large measure on the'
manner and degree in which the
new Administration attempts to
carry out the platform on which
it was elected.
One thing I can predict with
certainty is that my like-minded
colleagues and I will continue our
advocacy of a balanced budget
and the maintenance of the his-
toric concept of federal-state re
lationships and will fight all ef
forts to enact force legislation of
any description with the same
around - the - clock determination
with which we successfully de
feated similar proposals last year.

You are invited to prepare ques
tions which you would like ans
wered.
EGGS BY THE POUND
Eggs at 40 cents a pound? Yes!
From the simple arithmetic of
determining the cost of eight
large eggs, the number in a po
und, it can be quickly seen they
are among the most economical
of all foods. Based upon a dozen
eggs at 60 cents, this cost for a
pound is only a small portion
of the egg economy story, ac
cording to Mrs. Kathryn Bele
Niles, home economics director
for the Poultry and Egg National
Board.
Explaining that eggs are one
of nature’s most nutritional
foods, Mrs. Niles said that they
contain one of the highest forms
of protein ... so high in fact,
that eggs are used as a standard
for measuring the protein quali
ty of other foods.
Yet, with its unique assortment
of important vitamins, minerals
and complete protein, one egg
contains only 77 calories, she
said.
“Also, it would be difficult to
find a more versatile food than
eggs”, the home economist point
ed out. Eggs can be served in
more than 1,000 ways from only
nine methods of preparation and
are delicious individually or as
part of the traditional delights,
such as, baked Alaska, Mrs.
Niles stressed.
Tobacco Products Cross Retail Counters
More Often Than Anyth
Washington, D. C. —Tobacco
products pass over American
retail counters more often than
any thing else except money,
according to a new publication
issued by The Tobacco Institute,
Inc.
Tobacco is also the most hea
vily taxed of all agricutural
products, reports the Institute.
Direct taxes on tobacco products
last year were 900 times greater
than in 1863. Last year’s excise
tax take was $2.7 billion. That’s
more than one-third the amount
of retail tobacco sales of about
$7 billion, and nearly three
times as much as tobacco farmers
got for their crops, according to
the Institute.
The publication notes that
“Over the centuries, tobacco has
been attacked by its detractors
for almost every imaginable
reason . . . Now there are a few
who charge that tobacco is re-
Comsumption of Electricity
Greatly Increased in Georgia
Consumption of electricity, re
garded as an index of economic
development, increased by more
than nine per cent in the Georgia
Power Company’s service area
during the past year, John J.
McDonough, company president,
announced this week.
The use of electricity climbed
from a record of more than 10
billion kilowatt-hours in 1959 to
a new high in excess of 11 bil
lion kilowatt-hours, Mr. McDon
ough reported.
Largest increase in electric po
wer sales, as shown by the est
imaxed year-end totals, w r as in the
residential field, where the com
pany’s customers used 10 per cent
more electricity than during the
previous year. Commercial and
industrial customers accounted
for a gain of more than eight per
cent.

MAINTAINING EGG QUALITY
Maintaining egg quality on
the farm is more important to
day than ever before, according
to Extension Poultryman Dewey
McNiece at the University of
Georgia College of Agriculture.
Some points important in main
taining egg quality are cleannig
eggs, cooling eggs quickly, pick
ing up eggs several times a day,
and maintaining storage room
temperature of 55-60 degrees
and a relative humidity of 70-
80 percent, he says.
Watch the label on your
paper — don't let your sub-
scription expire.

sponsible for the ailments of the
aged for which the causes are
not known, . .primarily lung can
cer and heart disease . . . History
shows that similar charges made
in the past against tobacco were
abandoned when full facts be
came known.”
Among other highlights in
the publication:
Some 17 million Americans
earn all or part of their incomes
from tobacco.
Tobacco is this country’s four
th largest cash crop and third
largest agricultural export.
The new publication, “Tobac
co, Source of Pleasure —Source
of Wealth,” gives a brief sum
mary of the economic -and social
impact of America’s oldest in
dustry. It is available from The
Tobacco Institute, Inc., 910 Se
venteenth Street, N. W., Wash
ington 6, D. C.
Nearly 18,000 new customers
were added during the year, in
cluding some 15,000 residential
customers and about 2,300 in
commercial and industrial classi
fications.
The maximum demand for po
wer during the peak hour of
1960 reached 2,449,800 kilowatt
hours and was recorded on Aug.
30. This was 5.1 per cent increase
over the 1959 peak-hour demand,
recorded Aug. 26.
During 1960 the company’s av
erage residential customer used
4,250 kilowatt-hours of electri
city. This compares with an aver
age of 3,985 in 1959.
The average home served by
the company during i 960 used 13
per cent more electricity than
the national average and paid
20 per cent less per kilowatt
hour than the national average.

Deer and Turkey
Hunting Season
Closes Thursday
The hunting season on deer
and turkey closed Thursday, Jan.
5, with a number of hunters still
minus that big buck they hoped
to bag during the season.
It has been a good year for
hunting deer and turkey with
many killed in south Georgia. In
fact, every area of the state en
joyed good hunting, as deer and
turkey multiply because of in
creased areas given to forestry.
The duck season closes Feb. 7
and the dove season closes Feb.
14. Doves may be shot only in the
afternoons, according to Ranger
A M. Rowell.
Consideration for his fellow man has always
been characteristic of a true sportsman.
No sportsman would be guilty of mistaking a
farmer’s cow for a deer, or letting his campfire get
out of control and destroy timber on the farmer’s
property.
Yet there are hunters and fishermen hiding
behind the cloak of the true sportsman who are
gradually but surely destroying the amicable
relationship between the farmer and sportsman.
Many of use remember the time when we could
go almost anywhere and hunt or fish as we pleased.
Farmers were glad to have us and even recommended
the best place to drop a hook or flush a covey of
quail. But now, some of them have become leery of
allowing anyone near their land.
Not long ago, I read where a South Georgia
farmer lost thousands of dollars when some of his
cattle strayed into a field that had been poisoned.
Someone had left the gate open. There have been
numerous cases where the farmer spent hours round
ing up loose livestock because a “sportsman” had
been careless.
A fisherman takes his family to a farmer’s
pond for a day of recreation and a picnic. Then,
after their picnic, they rush back to their an
gling, leaving the grounds littered with paper
and trash.
There are more than 40,000 farm ponds scattered
throughout the state. Most of the pond owners
prefer to have someone fish them, for steady fishing
keeps the pond from becoming overpopulated with
fish. Also, most of the pond owners charge one
dollar for fishing privileges which helps pay for
fertilizer. But when it becomes necessary for the
pond owner to act as a garbageman after the rec
reationists leave, he feels it’s no longer worth while.
There are a few basic rules of common cour
tesy which, if used, will re-establish the fine
relationship we once had with the farmers and
landowners.
1. Never hunt or fish on any man’s property un
less you ask his permission.
2. Be careful not to damage any crops or en
danger any livestock.
3. Close all gates so livestock will not escape.
4. If you are hunting, aim carefully before you
shoot, for a good sportsman always knows what he
is shooting before he pulls the trigger.
5. Don’t be a litterbug. Clean up all trash and
paper before you leave.
6. Be careful with campfires and cigarettes.
Clean up all paper and trash before you leave.
7. Always make sure your fire is out before leav
ing an area, and use the old Army technique of field
stripping your cigarettes.
8. Be courteous to the landowner and his family.
Treat his property as if it were your own.
