A to Honor Labor
Labor Day can be variously
defined as; the end of summer;
the beginning of the school
year; a national traffic jam; or
simply an excuse for a long
weekend away from work.
But the founder of the holi¬
day, Peter J. McGuire, conceiv¬
ed it as a tribute to “the indus¬
trial spirit the great vital force
of every nation.’’
In 1882, McGuire—a leader in
the Knights of Labor—proposed
that a day be set aside to honor
the working man. He suggested
the first Monday in September,
since it came almost midway
between Independence Day and
Hail the Jaycees
The Dade County Junior
Chamber of Commerce deserves
the plaudits of every Dade
Countian—and more. It also de¬
serves the plaudits of Dade’s
neighbors on all sides.
The Jaycees have proposed a
committee to lure industry into
the county. The committee
would be composed of business
and civic leaders, who would
cause • surveys to be made of
Dade’s industrial sites, its skill¬
ed and unskilled labor, trans-
porta t i o n, , comuni cat ions
{schools, community affairs,
water and other natural re¬
sources and other elements of
interest to a potential new in¬
dustry.
This proposed committee
would have a whale of a job—
but with the livewire Jaycees
pushing it—the job would be
done. The Jaycees have that
kind of reputation in Dade
County!
A single new industry in this
county would bring about a
small-scale economic revolu¬
tion. An industry employing as
lew as 25 people could cause a

WHAT STARTED OUT last
January to be a spending session
of Congress has turned out to be
an economy session.
It is now
certain that
when the final
total on appro¬
priations voted
for the I960
fiscal year is
added up, it
will be well
under the fig¬
ure requested by President Eisen¬
hower and the Budget Bureau.
The House of Representatives cut
the 15 regular appropriations bills
$2.3 billion below the amounts
asked by the White House and it
is a foregone conclusion that when
Senate and conference action is
completed on all f them the sav¬
ings to the taxpayers should be
somewhere between $1 and $2
billion. Thus, prospects for a
balanced fed* ral budget for the j
year ending next June 30 would
appear to be good provided the
nation’s economy continues its
present upward trend.
THE ONLY AREA of federal
sp riding in which Congress is
voting any substantial increase
over the amount requested is that
of health. The completed appro¬
priation for the Departments of
Labor and Health, -Education and
Welfare is $259.6 million above
the total for which the Chief Ex¬
ecutive asked. The major por¬
tion of that increase will go for
accelerated medical research, par- j
ticularly in the fields of cancer
and heart disease—a worthy pur¬
pose which indoubtedly will have,
the approval of all thoughtful 1
citizens.
The greatest single cut will be
in the appropriation for foreign j
Thanksgiving Day.
The Central Labor Union of
New York adopted his proposal
and held the first Labor Day
"ek bration on September 5th.
As McGuire had suggested, the
union paraded through the
streets of Manhattan, to show
the strength and spirit of trade
and labor organizations.
Shortly after, the Knights of
Labor voted for an annual cele¬
bration. In 1884, the Federation
of Organized Trades and Labor
Unions of the United States
and Canada—predecessor of the
American Federation of Labor—
voted to make the celebration
national.
boomlet. Just imagine the re¬
sults;
First, the payroll—upwards of
i$2.5,000 a year. Everybody’s
business would improve, other
/shops and services would be
needed. New' homes would be
built, more groceries eaten,
more bank deposits made, more
washing machines bought, more
clothes, more telephones, and on
and on.
Then the industry would buy
on the local market—depend¬
ing on its product—in great
quantities. And this would send
economic vibrations through
the county as a pebble sends
wavelets over a pond. And every
body in turn would ride some
of tile waves.
This is on the assumption of
a small industry being built in
the county. But with leading
citizens on the committee* and
tlu> Jaycees to spark the drive—
there is no reason to believe it
would stop with a single in¬
dustry.
The Times wholeheartedy en¬
dorses this proposal and pledges
its full support. We hope others
do likewise.

Forestry Club Holds
Product Experiment
The Dade County Forestry
Demonstration Club in coopera¬
tion with the Georgia Agricul¬
tural Extension Service, the
Forestry Commission and
T. V. A. held a products mar-
keting demonstration on the
e. R. Wells farm last week.
About 25 Dade County farm¬
ers attended.
L, C. Adams, county agent, ex¬
pressed appreciation to those
who made the meeting possible
and Ewell Brown, president of
the club welcomed the group
and launded the work of 10-
year-old Billy Pullen in mak¬
ing arrangements.
Mr. Pullen has managed some
2,700 acres of woodlands for the
last 10 years and discussed met¬
hods of cutting scrub oak and
thinning pnies for profit.
John Hinton of T. V. A., talk¬
ed on thinning for pulp, saw
post and building poles. He said
that on a well managed single
acre the total value of thinning
is worth $380.60. with a good
tinber stand remaining.
Robert Nelson of Rome Kraft
Co., stressed the profit in pulp
production. He stated the Rome
plant, now undergoing a $27
million expansion program, is
buying some hardwood. The
price in Rome for pine is up to
I $16.91 a cord and $15 for a hard¬
wood unit.
The pressure treatment of
poles and post was discussed by
Lewis Hawkins o f Southern
Wood Preserving Co., Chattan¬
ooga. Pie showed utility poles
which has been in use since
1932 which were still solid and
usable.
Mr. A. L. Dyer showed how to
grade sawlogs and said that
’high grade logs will bring as
much as $65 a thousand feet.

aid and sizeable reductions also
are being made in the amounts
earmarked to operate the Depart¬
ments of Agriculture, Treasury,
Post Oil'ice, State and Justice.
F.ven the budget of the Depart¬
ment of Defense has been trimmed
$35.6 million under the recom¬
mended figure. All of these re¬
ductions will be accomph d
without any curtailment in gov¬
ernment services.

CREDIT FOR THE aUitud? of
fiscal responsibility now pi veil¬
ing in Congress must be given 4 o
two forces: (1) the pleas foi a
balanced budget anu the vetoes
and threats of vetoes by Ik si-
dent Eisenhower and (2) the dili¬
gence of the taxpayers in m ik.ng
their wishes known to their Sena¬
tors and Congressmen.
What has happened in Congress
this year is proof of the fr da-
mental fact of government in a
republic that whenever the ma. n s
of the people become aieiteo and
enthusiastic about an issue trey
can work their will through their
representatives on the national
level.
It likewise is true that when
the people are lackadaisical or
asleep any proposal which has any
element of good can be passed
through Congress without regard
to the ability of the taxpayeis to
pa” for it. A case in point is the
recent vote in the Senate to revive
the Civilian Conservation Corps
at a cost of $400 million a year
despite the facts thatxthe nation
is enjoying unprecedented pros-
perity and our national budget
has been balanced only five times
iii the last 30 years.
