Let Tbe Snow Fall
If mortal man can make the snow
fall, Jim Davidson is that man. Jim
is editor of the Cleveland, Ga., Courier,
and has been plugging the idea of
winter sports in the north Georgia
mountains. We heard the other day
that there might be snow in the moun¬
tains. I called Jim.
“Not yet, Frank,” he said, wistfully,
but we are trying mighty hard.”
Jim said he has been talking to Sen.
Dick Russell about getting some gov¬
ernment sports help in in establishing winter
areas the National Forests
strung across north Georgia.

SCRAMBLED SCOTCH
BUENOS AIRES—Five men were
arrested this week for making fake
Scotch whisky. Police said the stuff
they put out in imported Scotch bot¬

1959 Prognostications
The experts will soon be making
their prophecies about the first 6
months of 1959, and about 99% will
say it’s going to be improving and
they are probably right. Fact is, for
those who work hard consistently,
planning wisely, etc. their business
keeps improving good times, bad
times. So let’s all march forward
together.

QUESTION: Do you think that a

ANSWER: Yes, unless the girl is
his daughter!
Our preoccupation with sex in
America is alarming. It crops out in
our conversation, in our exchange of
-jokes, in our television programs, in
our magazines, in our films and in
our magazine advertising.
The fact is, sex has become socially
acceptable. It has moved up from
■ Skid Row to Park Avenue. We have
given it a place in our thinking out
of all proportion to its importance,
and we are paying the price in juve¬
nile delinquency, broken homes and
moral breakdowns,
Edward Gibbon, in his Rise and
Fall of the Roman Empire, gives as
the first cause of Rome’s collapse,
the undermining of the dignity and
sanctity of the home, which is the
basis of human society. The dignity
of the home can best be undermined
by an erroneous view of, and a pre¬
occupation with, sex.
■ This is not just preacher talk. If
want to read what a sociologist
of this problem read Dr.
book “The American Sex
He deals with the prob
much more severely than I, for
sees our sex looseness as the hand¬
on the wall.
Yes, it is a sin against the Seventh
Commandment and incurs God’s

PINEY WOODS PETE SAYS;
DEAR MISTER EDITOR:
A finance expert wrote a magazine
article Ten headed,-“Will Your Dollar Be
Worth Cents?”,
He was warning it might if the
government going deeper kept in the feeding red while inflation by
collect¬
ing more and more taxes. He said
taxes now cost the average family
with a income of $4,500 more’n both
food and clothes.
There’s talk of raising the minimum
wage from $1 to $1.25 a hour ($10
for a 8-hour day), and if this is done,
the dollar of my boyhood days, that
would buy a good day’s labor, will be
shrunk to a dime, and if this dollar
shrinks down to a dime, this would
mean the old dollar had shrunk to 1
cent. And this could happen.
Yours truly,
PINEY WOODS PETE.
