They got along pretty well and were happy and content, free of debt, except for car payments. One day Mr. Bigg Guvment came along and said, “John, you want to be more prosperous, don’t you?” John said, “Sure. What you got up your sleeve?” Mr. Bigg Guvmant said, “If you will just mortgage your six kids to me, I will lend you SSOOO a year more to spend and have a good time on.” John Dough scratched his head and looked around at his six kids. They were nice kids and he loved them, or at least he thought he did. But that extra SSOOO a year was mighty tempting and the kids would hardly realize what was happening to them. And so John Dough mortgaged his six kids and accepted the extra SSOOO and had a fine time enjoy ing his prosperity for the next 12 months. At the end of the year the interest on the SSOOO had piled up, but Mr. Bigg Guvmant came along again and said, “John, I’ll just let that SSOOO and the interest ride if you’ll tie up your six kids a little more with a heavier mortgage.” And it came to pass that Mr. Bigg Guvmant kept letting John Dough have SSOOO yearly for a long time and kept increasing his mortgage on John Dough’s six kids until he had them in complete slavery to the big debt and its ever-increasing interest charges. In the meantime John Dough was having himself a high time, spending that extra $.5000 each year and getting more and more intoxicated with prosperity. When someone asked John Dough what would happen to his six kids and that staggering debt, he said, “To heck with my six kids and their kids after them. I’m going to enjoy myself and let my six kids and all their kids and their kids’ kids look after themselves, Hi Ho!” And so John Dough,’s six kids and their kids and their kids’ kids lived in slavery to Mr. Bigg Guvmant all their generations. Patrick Henry once said, “Give me liberty or give me death.” John Dough said, in effect, “Give me liberty or give me debt.” And Mr. Bigg Guvmant gave him DEBT instead of liberty.

Nutritious Cabbage Is Low in Calories Tasty, rich in nutrients, yet low in calories. That’s what calorie-conscious meal planners will have when they choose fresh cabbage for September vegetable dishes. According to U. S. Department of Agriculture nutritionists, cab bage is a more stable source of vitamin C than most other leafy vegetables. It also contains vita mins A and G, plus thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin. Yet — despite all these nutrients —a 1/3-pound serving of fresh cabbage contains only about 36 calories. Because cabbage is high in wat er content, special consideration should be given to how it is stor ed and cooked, USDA reports. If cabbage is to be held at home for a few days before serv ing, it should not be allowed to dry out. To help retain freshness, wash the cabbage head, allow it to drain, and cover or wrap it. Then, place the cabbage in the vegetable crisper or another well ventilated spot in the refrigerator. USDA suggests cooking cabbage quickly in a small amount of salted water, kept at a roUing boil. If the amount of water used in cooking equals about one third the amount of cabbage, 90 percent of the vitamin C wiU be retained. Cabbage and a colorful assort ment of other fresh late summer vegetables are plentiful during September at southeastern food stores, USDA’s Agricultural Mar keting Services reports.

OFFICIAL ORGAN BRANTLEY COUNTY AND CITY OF NAHUNTA Nahunta Baptist Church to Hold Homecoming Day Sunday, Sept. 27 Farm Bureau Sees Danger in Medicare Bill The Georgia Farm Bureau last week voiced its long standing op position to a Social Security fin anced medicare program. Georgia Farm Bureau President Harry L. Brown stated that Farm Bureau is very much in favor of providing for the aged of the na tion, but prefers the Kerr-Mills law which would provide such care through federal-state financ ing. In a telegram to Senator Rich ard B. Russell, President Brown said, “Georgia Farm Bureau po licy of rather long standing is in opposition to a medicare program financed by Social Security taxes. Urge you oppose any form of medical care under Social Se curity program.” Farm Bureau, both on Georgia and national levels, have main tained equally long-standing sup port of the federal-state method of financing. Under the Kerr- Mills law, many states are al ready providing medical care for the needful aged The Senate voted last week, 49- 44 to add a medicare to the So cial Security program. The House has not yet taken such action. Under the Senate version, the proposal carries hospitalization, nursing home, out-patient diag nostic and home health visits.
