IKE HAS NOTHING ON YE EDITOR—The television cam
eras, radio and newspapers had much to say about the
grandson of President Ike Eisenhower taking the polio shots,
as millions of other children did. Just as our grandson,
Billy Elkins, did at Pooler, but no one but the President’s
grandson made the front pages. It looks like a lot of hulla
baloo over nothing to us. Just why so much publicity should
have come out about the grandson of the President going
though a routine matter, just like millions of others did,
we don’t know.

YE EDITOR VISITS SICK FRIEND—On Wednesday Ye
Editor dropped in at the home of one of our best
friends, Harley H. Dukes, who has been seriously ill for
a long time, and has had many narrow escapes, having un
dergone an operation that was practically new to medical
science, where by a large blood vessel of a man who had
died was “spliced” into him, and relieved a blood artery or
vessel trouble that looked at that time to be fatal. But he
came back, was able to be up and about, but now he is
again confined to his home, and although his condition is
bad, he still has faith in the “old master,” feels that things
will be all ok. in the final analysis, and generally sees the
bright side of life. This is fruly a fine spirit for a man
that has gone “through the narrows” as our friend Dukes
has, spending more than thirty-five thousand dollars in the
past few years, and his expenses still high. Yes, a good
man may get down, but he is not out, and we just trust
that in some way Harley is able to again get up and be
about his business.

PEMBROKE PEOPLE SHOW THEIR INTEREST — Cer
tainly the people of Pembroke have demonstrated that
they are intensely interested in the Lord’s work. The Cot
tage Prayer Meetings of the Pembroke Baptist Church have
demonstrated that. This year thirteen are being held,
where only two have been held in the past. The attendance
at every one has been larger than in the past, and surely
there is a movement for the better alive in Pembroke,
which by the way is to our mind the finest little city, clean,
good churches, good schools and the choice people of the
world live here. That is at least Ye Editor’s personal opin
jon. And we have been around considerable.

with a modern McCulloch Model 33-B Chain Saw and can average
six cords of pulpwood daily per man where formerly it required
two men to produce three cords.
A The model 33-B weighs only 20 pounds, yet its fine balance and
rugged performance make it just the saw for pulpwood cutters
over a sustained cutting period. And its low cost makes it extre
easy to own.

Notes To
.
The Editor
By ELISABETH MEDDERS
I kind of miss Babe. We had
him for over eight years and,
after all, from point of tenure
he' had more right than the Lit
tlest Bedlam. But he didn’t have
any right to suck the blood out
of $10.40 and leave it scattered
around on the garage floor. And
it just goes to show you that
crime doesn’t pay.
Blackie misses Babe, too. He
goes yowling around like he’s lost
his brother, which he has. He
doesn’t upsy-daisy waiting to be
rubbed with the enthusiasm he
formerly did, although he would
n’t miss the opportunity for any
‘thing.
~ Babe’s mother is the least con
cerned over the situation, Os
course, the triplets do require a
‘good bit of her time and she isn’t
the girl she used to be. Although
he was her firstborn. Louise had
long ago despaired of instilling in
him the refinement and culture
that was innate in her, in spite of
her Cinderella early life.
Babe wag never a sweet, cud
dly creature and showed even dur
ing his extreme youth the wild,
sowing-wild-oats tendencies he
flaunted in early and middle age.
For some time, though, he had
been assuming a “live and let
live” attitude which would have
been fine if he had just lived up
to the “let live” end of it.
But one morning when the fath
er of the Bedlam Brothers went
out to tend his farm duties, there
on the garage floor in the little
pen he and the biggest Bedlam
had made, were 62 still, fluffy
little yellow forms, And like a
streak of lightning, Babe missed
the hoe flung at him and darted
out the door into the woods, his
conscience, and I hope his stom
ach, hurting him.
The 40 chicks left in the brooder
were huddled in one corner trying
desperately to escape the fatal
claws that had been the destiny
of over half of them.
The little limp bodies more than
filled a big paper bag and it was
like a real funeral when the Bed
lams’ father carried off the heavy
sack,
There was nothing else left to
do. Babe had violated the law of
“let live” and he now had the
j taste and urge for it in his veins
and there would be no end.
I waited and watched. And sure
enough, after awhile Babe came
around from the back of the cow
gtall where he had tried to get
in to the chicks. Failing he tried
his luck at the front door, care
fully inspecting all the cracks.
“Get your .22, I said, and he
did. For a minute I weakened, If
only he hadn’t been shut up in
there with them all night long, it
wouldn’t have happened. But it
was done now and the results of
crime are inevitable.
The Bedlams’ father stood with
his .22 ready. “If only he had
eaten a few and let it go at that
and not just sucked the blood and
left them all like he did . . . "
“It’s done,” I said.
And I went in the house and
put my head under a pillow and
my fingers in my ears but I still
heard the shot. And the second
shot.
I miss the old cat.

State Income Tax
Crackdown Due,
Commissioner Says
et
The state revervy commissioner-
Il get you if youddon’t watch out!
If you didn't file a state income
tax with “the man” by April 17
you better look around the corner
before you turn it and over on
the other side of the street be
fore you cross., If there's a
knock at the door and it's not the
wolf it could be the revenue com
misioner coming to gobble you up.
That is, if you didn’t file an in
come tax return with the state.
T. V. Williams, Atlanta, rev
enue commissioner, said, accord
ing to an Associated Press dis
patch, that the income tax unit
had already completed processing
all returns received by April 14.
The revenue commissioner be
gan cracking down on delinquent
taxpayers some time ago. He had
agents begin checking the names
of Georgians who have paid fed
eral income taxes in previous
years without filing state returns.
He announced that all persons in
this category will receive bills
from the state.
Williams commented recently
that increased revenue collections
could offset the big deficit with
which the state now is operating.
Watching an avalanche of eleventh
hour returns pour in on the last
day he predicted that 140,000 more
Georeians will pay state imcome
taxes this year,
Swiftly working revenue offi
cials expected to have all income
tax returns processed shortly aft
er the deadline.
