A REMINDER FOR
THE ADVERTISER
Here’s what C. H. Browe, top ad
executive at Batten, Barton, Dur

customers and advertising:
“Consider what is in her mind
.... already she is worried about
her tired blood, and laxative ha
bit, and denture breath, and lower
back pains, and clogged sinueses,
and rough red hands. Her hair is
dull, her pores are large, her skin
is itchy. Her stomach value keeps
letting out more A’s than B’s and
her stomach acid keeps burning
holes in her handkerchief. She’s
never felt really clean before, and
even now, she only feels half safe.
Worst of all, it turns out that her
bra isn’t a living bra; for some
reason it just lies there.

Welcomed by Lions
At the regular meeting of the
Perry Lions Club held at the New
Perry Hotel, two new members
were welcomed into the club, Bill
Hafley and Bailey Harrison.
Tail Twister Jack Porter gave
a demonstration on the service we
get from the Georgia Power Co.
and it is felt that if he will give
another demonstration, it will go
a long way in improving the ser

After the regular meeting, Zone
Chairman Harry Collins of 18-E,

the following Lions from other

WASHINGTON ||
THE EFFORTS OF Secretary
of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson to
discredit the Talmadge Farm Plan
are another confirmation of the
widespread popular support which
it is attracting throughout the
country.
stored by compensatory payments
on domestically-consumed basic
commodities through the propa
ganda devices of smear, associ
ation and innuendo. Rather than
discuss my proposal on its merits,
he has endeavored to lag it with
a false label of socialism and to
relate it to the resurrected ghost
of the so-called Brannan Plan. For
example, in a recent speech he re
ferred to it as "a long step to
ward a fully socialized agricul
ture” and in letters written to
newspaperr across the nation he
called it the “Talmadge-Brannan
Plan.”

THE BENSON bogeymen have
no substance in fact.
It is elementary economics that
socialism is synonymous with na
tionalization or government own
ership and control and the Tal
madge Farm Plan which would
free the farmer to plant and seli as
he pleases and pay him the dif
ference between che price he re
ceives for that portion of his crop
sold for consumption in this coun
try and 100 per cent of parity is the
exact opposite of that The label

ADVERTISING DOESN’T COST, IT PAYS!
ol socialism could much more ac
curately be applied to Mr. Benson’s
own program under which the gov
ernment imposes rigid planting
controls and engages in the busi
ness of buying, storing, transport
ing and selling agricultural com
modities.
The only point of similarity
between the Talmadge and the
Brannan Plans is the compensa
tory paymen: idea and, if *t is the
intent of Mr Benson to equate that
feature of my proposal with the
Brannan Plan, then by the same
logic it also could be called the
Eisenhower Plan, the Seaton Plan
and even the Benson Plan because
officials by those names have advo
cated a similar use of direct pay
ments to compensate producers of
metals, wool and sugar.

THE FARMER WHO wants to
be returned to a free enterprise
economy with protection equivalent
to that anjoyed by labor through
the minimum wage and Industry
through the tariff and the taxpayer
who wants a stabilized farm pro
gram which will give his pocket
book a break both in the market
place and at tax time will not be
deceived by Mr Benson's attempts
to confuse the issue.
While I would not say that my
bill can be enacted either this year
or next, I will make the prediction
that when a new farm program
is passed—and, if not before, one
certainly will be after we install a
Democrat in the White House in
1961—it will be along the lines
of the measure I have proposed.
