That most worthy organization, the Future Far
mers of America, will receive well-deserved re
cognition during the week of Feburary 18 to 25.
Writers, commentators, officials and others in all
walks of life, will pay tribute to one of the most
important groups of young people in the country--
the young people who in the years to come will
bear the heavy responsibility of providing the food
and fiber so sorely needed by a world confronted
with the prospect of famine, unless unprecedented
breakthroughs are achieved in food production.
Each year the significance of Future Farmers of
America Week grows. The message that the young
farmers of tomorrow endeavor to impart to the
nation during their “Week” is simple. They seek to,

It has become very difficult for the average
citizen‘to save for his old age. Federal and local
taxes take most of the surplus an individual can
accumulate. If the tax collectors don’t get it while
he is alive, they take as much of his estate as
possible when he dies.
More and more older people depend on various
government handouts. This is the penalty for go

ultimately means the death of individual inde-
One of the biggest businesses in our nation’s
capital, other than the running of the government,
itself, is that of lobbying. Manv neonle have a
rattier stereotyped picture of lobbying and lobbyists,
which we think can stand some correcting. There
are indeed some confidence-man types roaming the
corridors of Capitol Hill, buttonholing Congress
men and their aides, trying to make deals for
themselves or the organizations they represent.
But not all lobbyists are like that.
Properly conducted, lobbying activities can be
helpful to legislators, by providing them with facts
on given issues which the legislators’ own staffs
would be hard put to gather. Proper lobbying
can also -serve the best interests of the tax
paying citizenry in general, against the efforts
of self-seeking groups tb get special favors for
themselves. For example; while labor union
bosses were pressuring the 89th Congress to repeal
Section 14 (b) of the Taft-Hartley Act, and thus
make union membership compulsory for every
wage-earner in the country, a variety of other
lobbyists were working against repeal in order to
preserve the basic freedom of an American work
ingman to join or not join a union.
Most of the work of what we consider to be good
lobbyists appears negative in character, especially
in recent years, because they are so often in
the position of being against legislation. But this,
Now you may have a chance to vote for Bobby Ken
nedy for President in 1968, without waiting im
patiently for 1972 to roll around. His proposed
running mate is the solon from the dovecotes of
Arkansas, J. William Fulbright
These glad tidings were delivered to a waiting
world recently in a press conference held in a
psychiatrist’s office in New York City.
Press accounts of the meeting heralding Citi
zens for Kennedy-Fulbright were a bit hazy so one
must be excused if he wonders what in all get-out
it was all about But “get out” was the key
phrase. Somehow it seemed that Dr. Martin
Shepard and his kingmaker compatriots were less
interested in putting Bobby in the White House
than they were in getting President Johnson out
And, reading between the lines, one could easily
get the impression that they were more interested
in getting the United States out of Vietnam than
they were in getting the incumbent out of 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue.
In fighting words the psychiatrist declared:
“We’re interested in getting Johnson out.” And
Increased Volume, Reduced Cost
A great deal has been said of the price boosting
effect of certain promotional efforts in the retail
food industry. The head of the National Association
of Food Chains recently had this to say on the
subject;
. .promotional costs, when you are talking
about games or stamps or advertising or any other
device, are funds expended to increase the volume
of a given store. We can reduce our costs by in
creasing the volume per unit considered. If a
promotional device does increase the volume,
then the promotion does not increase costs. . .
If we spend two cents on a sale dollar for stamps,
the customer would then walk in, pay a dollar,
get 98 cents in food and 2 cents in stamps which they
would later redeem for merchandise--other
merchandise, granted—worth at least two cents.
Now, if that promotion increases the volume of
The results of many years of a “little bit of
inflation” are beginning to be felt, and the public
is apparently becoming aware to some degree that
government fiscal policies can breed inflation.
Findings of a recent survey conducted by the
Opinion Research Corporation show that 8 out of
10 people surveyed are concerned about inflation.
Seventy-one per cent feel that the best way to curb
it is through reduction of federal spending.
The grimmest findings of the survey dealt with
inflation’s impact on people. It revealed that the
effects of inflation are being felt more seriously

There was a time when the nation was pre
dominantly agricultural. Raising food to eat ab
sorbed the efforts of a majority of the people.
Gradually, as agricultural technology improved,
fewer and fewer people were required on the land
to produce food. One farmer now feeds scores of
other people--people who have moved to the cities
where they produce all the other necessities and
luxuries of our age except food.
There is only so much land; thus as populations
increase, those who are engaged in agriculture
will bear an increasingly heavy responsibility to
their fellow men. It is indeed a privilege to pay
homage to the FFA.

There is hope, however, that the young people
who see their earnings taken for all manner of
political schemes will awaken in time to vote “no”
to most of the fantasies of the tax and spend
planners.
Some leaders in Congress are already saying
it is time to “stop, look and listen.” The world
has never seen such prodigal public spending
as the U. S. taxpayer is asked to sanction.
too, is misleading. For example, the National
Small Business Association—a registered lobby
working in behalf of private enterprises ranging
in size from one-man businesses to firms withsoo
employees—joined with many others in the battle
last session against repeal of right-to-work laws.
NSBA was at the same time working for passage
of less publicized bills which would also benefit
private businessmen and the general public, such
as the bill (which did pass) Allowing a self-em
ployed businessman to deduct as business expense
up to $2500 per year which he puts into his own
retirement fund, just as he may deduct what he has
to put into a retirement fund for his other employ
ees.
We need more lobbying activity of that sort.
It is the “small” businesses throughout the country
which, altogether, are the backbone of our private
enterprise system. No small business (this news
paper, incidentally, is one such) can afford on its
own to hire someone to defend its interests in
Washington. But when small businesses band to
gether we can support a lobby, just as do big bus
inesses and labor unions. And we can do so with
clear conscience, because anyone who lobbies to
keep small businesses alive and independent in our
competitive system is serving at the same time the
best interests of the whole country.

“We want to get the idea across that Kennedy
can run in 1968 and doesn’t have to wait until

We have a suspicion that the psychiatrist’s
endorsement may be a bit “iffy.”
“Somehow, we can’t help thinking that if Bobby
Kennedy were to stop talking about his willingness
to have his blood go to the enemy Viet Cong
and come out for victory in Vietnam, things would
be different, and all the various chapters of Citizens
for Kennedy-Fulbright would be less enthusiastic.
Suddenly, in a flash, it dawns on us that we’ve
been through this madness before—when Henry A.
Wallace ran on that far-out-left ticket some years
ago. And in the light of that flash we realize who
it is that Bobby reminds us ofc Henry A. Wallace.

fore you could get 98, 99 or even a dollar’s worth
of food and the two cents worth of stamps according
to the volume that the store receives...” Higher
sales volume makes lower prices possible.
Because of their mass-merchandising tech
niques, the nation’s food retailers have been able to
operate on a profit margin of around 1.3 per cent
of sales. And conversely, the percentage of the
consumers’ dollar, which now goes to purchase
necessities of life, such as food, is lower than ever
before. These are some of the reasons why
consumer strikes and boycotts against retailers in
themselves will have little affect on prices. On
the other hand, if they help draw attention to the
fiscal and monetary policies of government that
have resulted in the declining value of the dollar,
they will indeed serve a useful purpose.

More than 4 in 10 persons, 60 years and older,

OUR WEEKLY LESSON FOR
Sunday School
GOD YEARNS FOR THE LOST
Devotional Reading; Psalm
23
Memory selection; The Son
of man came to seek and to save
the lost. Luke 19:10
Intermediate-Senior Topic:
God Yearns for the Lost
Young People-Adult Topic;
God Yearns for the Lost
It Is sometimes hard for us
to Imagine how God can be so
lenient with sinners.
In the Gospel according to
St. Luke, Jesus told three stor
ies to Illustrate God’s attitude
toward sinners. The fifteenth
chapter of this account of the
life of our Lord sets forth three
stories that the Master told In
order to illustrate how much
God really cares for the man
who is “lost.” The parable of
the lost sheep and the parable
of the lost coin precede the
story of the lost youth commonly
known as “the parable of the
prodigal son.”
Jesus was not satisfied simply
to tell one story concerning God’s
concern for sinners. He drew
three Illustrations to depict that
God never stops caring and lov
ing.
The parable of the prodigal
brings us face to face with the
fact that God will welcome every
returning sinner, and Inhlsheart
the thing that really matters is
that his children, though way
ward and rebellious, repent and
turn to Him.
The seeking love of God for the
lost Is the subject of today’s
lesson. We turn, then, to a boy
who was first sick of home,
then homesick, and, following his
“fling,” came home to seek the
forgiveness of a father who had
been watching all the time for his
return. He exemplifies man’s
response through repentance and
faith.
If we are to be loyal follow
ers of Jesus Christ, we must al
so have a concern for those who
do not know God and his Son.
We must learn the lesson that,
if we are Christian, we shall al
ways love the sinner but hate his
sin.
The background for today’s
lesson (Luke 15;l-10) points out
how Jesus had a real concern
for the outcasts of society. The
publicans and the sinners found a
fascination In the Master’s teach
ing, and they were instinctively
drawn to him. Beset with their
sins, which caused them as much
anguish as they caused those
who were the victims of their
sin, they sought out the great
Teacher in order that they might
hear him.
The Pharisees and the scribes
often made much of the fact that
Jesus was frequently found in
the company of publicans and
sinners. “This man receiveth
sinners, and eateth with them.”
This was their accusation again
st Jesus, and they “murmured”
about it.
In so doing the Pharisees and

REPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE
; - ■
I CAN WELL understand the desire of the United States
to expand world trade and increase our exports abroad. For
one thing, it is vital to bringing some semblence of order to
our balance of payments deficit situation.
The expansion rate of imports to the U. S. from overseas
greatly exceeds the rate of our export growth. In 1965, exports
increased to $26.6 billion for a gain of some 4 per cent over
1964. On the other hand, imports climbed 14'/i for a total of
some $21.4 billion.
As a result, our export surplus in 1965 dropped $l.B bil
lion from the preceding year to $5.2. And. our trade surplus
is further offset by vast American spending overseas in foreign
aid and military assistance. Thus, because the United States
has endeavored to play Santa Claus, banker and policeman
for the entire free world, our balance of payments deficit is
running about $2 billion a year.
♦ ♦ ♦
AS A MEMBER of the United States trade negotiating
team, I favor every reasonable effort to keep trade channels
open and to widen them if possible with regard to U. S. exports.
However, it is my view that current proposals for easing
U. S. restrictions against trading with the Soviet Union and
Communist bloc nations of Eastern Europe should be con
sidered with extreme caution.
While it would be virtually impossible or ineffective to at
tempt to conduct a one-nation embargo against Communist
countries, the United States certainly should guard against ex
tending aid or materials that are of a strategic value.
By no means should we forget the avowed purpose of
Communism to destroy the American way of life and freedom
in the world. The so-called "wars of liberation” are ample evi
dence of what we are up against We cannot afford to let down
our guard, either militarily or economically.

AT A TIME WHEN we are engaged in a war against Com

the scribes typified so many
Christians who are not truly
pious but filled with piousness.
They had no sense of Jesus’
true mission, which was to seek
and to save the lost. He once
pointed out that those who are
well do not need a physician.
Physicians are trained to mini
ster to the ill, but Jesus looked
upon himself as the Great Phy
sician—not only for the healing
of men’s bodies but also for
the healing of their souls.
So-called “respectable Chr
istianity” would like to find Je
sus always surrounded by the
righteous. In his earthly mini
stry Jesus was primarily con
cerned with those who were men
tally and morally ill. His chief
delight was not to be ministered
unto but to minister, and he
sought out the needy among the
publicans and sinners. The group
which demanded his attention,
even as he commanded their
hearing, was made up of those
who were never socially accept
ed. The publicans had the un
popular job of collecting taxes.
They were often cruel and dis
honest in their procedure. Their
disfavor with the people arose
from the fact that they were
notorious for extorting graft in
order to line their own pockets
with gold. In like manner the
sinners who sought Jesus’ words
of wisdom probably numbered
among them thieves, murderers,
and adulterers.
It is little wonder that Jesus
drew condemnation upon his head
because he ministered to such
as these. Nevertheless, the
“murmuring” of the Pharisees
and scribes gave Jesus an op
portunity to teach men how God
cares for those who are lost and
who stand in need of repentance
and the resulting assurance of
pardon as they are restored to
their proper estate as God’s
children.
“Joy shall be in heaven over
one sinner that repenteth.” This
is Jesus’ commentary.
The Master’s first story dealt
with the loss of one sheep from
a fold of a hundred. He said
that the shepherd will leave the
ninety-nine sheep which are safe
in order to search for the lost
sheep until it is found. His
searching is endless until his
mission is accomplished, and
when he has found the lost sheep,
he returns home and calls his
neighbors to rejoice with him.
Jesus said this is a parable that
shows God’s joy when one sin
ner repents.
His second story dealt with
the loss of a coin. The owner
possessed ten coins, but one
coin was lost. The good owner
(a woman) lit a candle and swept
the house, seeking diligently for
it until she found it. as in the
case of the shepherd, she called
her friends and neighbors, bid
ding them to rejoice with her.
And again Jesus repeated that
this too is a parable that shows
how God rejoices when one re
pentant sinner returns to Him.

The
Legisletter
ATLANTA—Members of the
General Assembly returned to
Atlanta last Monday to complete
the remaining five weeks of their
1967 session after a three-weeks
recess during which the House
Appropriations Committee wor
ked to draw up legislation to
finance the state for the next two
years.
Chairman James H. Floyd of
Trion, chairman of Appro
priations, recessed his com
mittee last Thursday afternoon
as a heavy snow fell over Atlanta
and notified members that the
final bill would be drafted during
the first four days of this week.
Meanwhile, the committee had
heard representatives of all the
state departments and agencies
who defended their requests.
Committee members predic
ted that the final bill will pro
vide approximately the sl,-
600,000,000 which Governor Les
ter G. Maddox requested for the
next two fiscal years. Friends
of the University System still
were working at the eleventh hour
to have the $10,000,000 cut from
its funds restored. To do this,
there was some talk of dropping
the 3 per cent “cost of living”
increase in state salaries.
Late last week Elmer George,
Executive Director of the Geor
gia Municipal Association, ap
peared before the Appropriations
Committee to urge an Increase
of 1 per cent in the state tax
which would be rebated to the
cities, many of which are in
financial difficulties.
Chairman Floyd said he would
not look favorably on an Increase
in the sales tax. Mr. George
was asked if a law giving cities
permission to impose their own
sales tax would be satisfactory.
He answered that If the Legis
lature “in its wisdom” declined
to raise the sales tax Itself
“we wouldn’t turn our backs on
a local option system,” but that
the 3,000 officials of GMA much
preferred a state-Imposed tax.
To the surprise of many, the
House Committee on Legislative
and Congressional Reapportion
ment, of which Rep. John Caldwell
of Upson County is Chairman,
voted 15-0 last Thursday on a
plan to reapportion the House
as required by a Federal court
mandate.
The plan agreed on by the com
mittee, which includes members
from large, small and middle
sized counties, would cut the
size of the House from 205 to
195 members, a reduction of 10.
The present 141 districts would
be reduced by 33 to 108. Dele
gations from multi-member dis
tricts would recommend how to
apportion the seats in their dis
tricts.
Under the committee plan, the
seven largest counties in the
state would control 40 per cent
of the votes in the House. The
largest 15 counties in the state
could muster a bare majority
of 50.3 per cent.
Fulton County, the state’s lar
gest, would have Its representa
tion in the House Increased from
24 to 26 members. DeKalb,
the second largest, would retain
its present 12 Representatives.
Many of the smaller counties
would be combined with others
to form districts.
In the past it has been con
sidered politically impossible to
get approval of a plan which re
duced the membership of the
House. But inasmuch as the en
tire 15 members of the committee
have agreed on this one, some
hope is held for its passage.
Governor Maddox in his inau
gural address said that he ex
pected to call a special session
on reapportionment after the pre
sent one had been concluded.
But so far as the House is
concerned, the committee’s ag
reement on a bill will make it
possible to get it on the floor
during the present session.
A Senate committee on re
apportionment, under the chair
manship of senator Ben E. John
son of DeKalb County, also has
been considering a bill, but has
not yet reached agreement on it.
Under a Federal court order,
both chambers must be reappor
tioned by May 1 so there will not
be a variance of more than 15
per cent between districts.
The Senate Monday scheduled
a hearing on daylight savings
time. Under a Congressional
act, each state will observe it
this coming spring and summer
unless its Legislature votes to
the contrary. There is consider
able opposition to the change
of time from rural members of
the Legislature.
The Senate also invited Bobby
Dodd, retiring Georgia Tech foot
ball coach, to appear before it
Monday to be honored for his
long and successful career.

costless. Contains no built in
back-lash. It’s bug-free.
There are no poles to climb,
no numbers to dial, no wear
and snare on the ears or arms.
Just use the yellow side to
make purchases.
Now don't you know if the In
stant “GITCHA-GAGET” had
come along before now we would
already have local telephone ser
vice to Atlanta.
Why don’t they go on and dolt?
And do It now! Then quit acting
like they don’t have any com
petition.
Yours truely,
Daniel B. Scoggins
