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 NOTE OF THANKS We wish to express our grati- tude for every deed and act of kindness shown us since the de- parture of our lived one, Mrs. Hunting Season Corning UP Our complete supply of hunting and fishing equipment makes our store a SPORTMAN’S HEARQUARTERS JOHN L.

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. Evelyn Meeks Kemp.

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. Other speakers were Chuck Place of the commission and T. F. Rarnke of T. V. A. 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.
