Letters to the Editor
‘Dear Ed i I or:
I read sometime ago in your paper
'that While county had organized a
'Chamber of Commerce. What happened
•to it? Was it washed away in all that rain
\we had? Wae it too busy to repreasnl
'.White County at the Georgia Mountain
IFair in Hiawaeeee?
I noticed when I visited the Fair that
'White t’onnty was not represented by its
‘Chamber of Commerce.
Oh! There was an exhibit from
White County. A lady from the upper
part <if the county look it on herself to fix
a booth. It was made up of beautiful
handicraft. Most of it was her own work.
1 think ebe deserves a lot of thanks.
I was disappointed not to eee our
new Cbambe' of Commerce representing
our county.
Well, that ia water over the bridge,
but if I wae au officer of the Chamber ol
Commerce I would start right now plan¬
ning an exhibit that does justice to our
county for the next 0a Mt. Fair. There
are thousands of people who visit that
fair every year, the least we could do is
try to impress them And we could, too,
with the things in our county. I think
this would most delicately be a good way
to make ourc uinty recognized by people
of other countiee, states and nations.
Just thought I would let you know
and maybe you would drop a bent.

Mr. Breech made it clear that he
knew what he was talking about from
personal experience in small town liv¬

in the town of Lebanon, Missouri,
where he and his family read the
hometown weekly Rustic Republican.
Although Mr. Breech did not pre¬
dict what Ford would do in advertis¬
ing in smalltown newspapers, it was
encouraging to the publishers who
heard him to realize that he was well
aware of the power of the weekl
press.

COLD WINTERS
TO MAKE COMEBACK
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Remember
how grandpa talked about the winters
when he was a boy, how the snow
drifted to 30 feet and rivers froze
solid so you could walk across?
Well, those winters are coming
back. That’s the opinion of Dr. Hurd
C. Willett, professor of meteorology
at Massachusetts Institute of Tech¬
nology. amazing
Dr. Willett has made an
record of long-range weather fore¬
casts. His predictions include;
1. THE NEXT 50 YEARS look
promising for ice skating and skiing
enthusiasts in America. Weather in
this country will be colder and wetter
over the long run.
2. THERE WILL BE more rainfall
and cooler weather in the Middle
West, Southwest and South. There
might be a period of lesser drought
in the southermost part of the coun¬
try, occurring about 1975 to 1980.
“Of course,” Dr. Willett said, “these
long-range forecasts are only the
highlights of what we must expect the
in the next half century or so as
earth’s climate continues a new phase
of its periodic changes.”
“The weather,” he added, “is very
changeable, as everybody knows, and
there will be short periods when it
will run contrary to the long-range
trend.”—Reprinted by requests. Ap¬

NEWSPAPERS “BEST BUY”—
AND HERE’S WHY
J. Martin Smith, executive vice
president of a Birmingham ad agency,
told Alabama Retail Jewelers Assn,
convention recently that newspaper
advertising in his opinion is the best
buy for all forms of retail business.
“The average paper is read by 3.5
persons,” said Mr. Smith. “It stays
in the home four days; it can be
picked up and referred to for family
discussions about advertised products
or services; advertisements can be
clipped and put away for future ref¬
erence like menus and other editorial
features. Newspapers appeal to vari¬
ous age levels and social groups, thus
creating an ideal vehicie for your ad¬
vertising messages. Specific male or
female audiences can be obtained by
the use of the sports section or the
women’s sections at no additional
cost. Newspapers are flexible. You
can run a full page or a one-inch ad.
You can run it once a month, once a
week or several times in the same
issue. You can get your advertise¬
ment in the paper practically over¬
night, and you can cancel it just as
quickly.”
15-CENT PILL PERFECTED

At the same session, other re¬

Explaining that removal of oxygen

ELECTRONIC EASE FORECAST
FOR FARMERS IN 2018 A. D.
Let’s hold hands today, Mother, and
wander off into the dream world of
American farm life 60 years in the
future. We have just been reading in
Western Farm Life, a forecast of
what farming will be like in the year
2018, and have concluded that the
imagination of the average farmer ia
even, bigger than his watermelons.
Man, the way they 'Sunday think, traveling
comparison, to the moon kid for dinner is, by
stuff.
The farmer won’t be called a farm¬
er any more. He will wear a white
starched jacket and will be a scientist.
He will push buttons. “Let’s raise
bananas this winter, Sarah,” he will
says to his wife, and he will put the
banana button—and, all of a sudden
outside, bananas! His fields will be
covered by great plastic domes, and
he_ rainfall will inside. control He the will temperature also turn and the
sun on and off.
He will sit in a control tower and
operate automatic planting, fertiliz¬
ing, weeding and harvesting machines.
He will have one machine which wilt
pull the vegetables out of his fields
by suction, and will process, package
and label them for the market on the
way back to the barn. “I haven’t been
down to the south 49 for eight years,”
the farmer will say. “I really ought
to look it over personally one of these
days.” His wife will say, “Oh, Henry,
why bother? Why don’t you just send
down our walking- electronic brain and
have it give you a punch-card re¬
port ?”
The farmer 60 years hence will
still maintain dairy cattle but ma¬
chines will get up at 4 A. M. to milk
them, to drive them to-pasture, and
to clean the milksheds. And there will
be no bulls. Wait a minute! No bulls ?
How do you operate a dairy farm any
length of time without papa cows ?
Haven’t you overlooked a little some¬
thing?
No, Western Farm Life says that
cows will be largely bred artificially
—by mail order. Parcel Post will take
the place of the papa cow. Look how
all the cows raise their heads when
the RFD mailman drives past on the
county road! There he goes. Yoo hoo.
The boy-friend of the whole herd.
The farmer himself will live under
one of his glass domes in a house
on a turntable. He will be able to
adjust at pleasure the view from his
picture windows. “Let’s look at the
lake tonight when we eat supper,” he
will say, giving the turntable lever a
hard right to port. Meanwhile all
sorts of grinning atomic-powered ma¬
chines will be stomping in and out of
his kitchen and dining room, serving
him.
And what of the farmer’s wife ?
Oh, her. Well, she’ll sit around the
house on a silken pillow in a Givenchy
original, smoking tailor-made cigar¬
ettes out of a long holder. She’ll look:
wistfully down the lane, waiting for
a traveling salesman.who will never
come because he can’t get through her
plastic cage. And not once in her
whole life will she get down on her
hands and knees on the good ground
and wonderingly let the rich soil drib¬
ble through her fingers. Man, she
won’t be no farmer’s wife. She’ll just
be beat.

SHARE OF WHIST!
“I am forty-two but still lure and
get my share of wolf-whistles.” So
writes a Bostonian. I have heard quite
a few similar boasts. Apparently,
though women express indignation
when subjected to wolf-whistles, they
are builder secretly pleased. It is a morale
for those in their late thirties
and forties. I don’t suggest you whis¬
tle when a smart looker passes by,
but always gaze admiringly at a
women who apparently has a new out¬
fit or hairdo. That will please her and
make her more contented. Also make
it more easy for her husband to get
along with her.—E. V. Durling iq
