Sen. Russell Urged Prompt
Action on Farm program In
Atlanta Speech Honda;
Senator Richard B, Russell
termed the farm income slump
the nation’s “most critical domes¬
tic problem” and urged the Ken¬
nedy Administration to make it
“the first order of business.”
“I realize that a new, long
ranga farm program cannot be
hammered into law overnight,”he
told the Cotton Giliners’ Associa¬
tion in a speech in Atlanta Mon¬
day. “But there is much the
Secretary of Agriculture can do
under existing law to bolstei
farm prices and reverse the down¬
ward skid in farm income ”
He promised hie vigorous op¬
position to any attempt by the
new administration to tamper
■with the Soil Conservation Ser¬
vice.
1’he great Senator recalled his
oy position to some parts of the
Democratic Party platform, par¬
ticularly tbe so-called civil rights
proposals.
“J shall oppose with all vigor
any attept to implement those
repugnant proposals,” he said.
Winter sports development in

GEORGIA TO OPEN CENTENNIAL
WITH TWO BIG EVENTS*
ATLANTA — Detailed plans for
Georgia’s participation in the Civil
War Centennial observance have been
announced by Peter Zack Geer, chair¬
man of the State Centennial Commis¬
sion.
Geer, who is executive to Gov. Er¬
nest Vandiver, said the Governor and
Mrs. Vandiver will be hosts at the
Centennial Costume Charity Ball to
be held Thursday evening, March 9,
at the Atlanta Biltmore Hotel.
The ball, a glittering first night of
a gala two-day program, is Georgia’s
first official state-wide Centennial
function.
The Centennial Premiere showing
of “Gone With the Wind” is scheduled
for the following evening, Friday,
March 10, at Loew’s Grand Theater.
Atlanta Mayor Wm. B. Hartsfield,
master of ceremonies for the World
Premiere in 1939, again will preside.
“Gone With the Wind” will be
brought to Atlanta by Metro-Gold
wyn-Mayer as a tribute to its au¬
thoress, the late Margaret Mitchell,
and as a salute to the Civil War Cen¬
tennial.
Mr. and Mrs. Geer will assist Gov.
and Mrs. Vandiver as hosts of the
ball. The Governor has appointed
Mrs. Alfred Kennedy, Milton Mussel
and Charles Thwaite, all of Atlanta,
as co-chairmen of the ball.
Proceeds from the two-day Centen¬
nial observance will be used for fu¬
ture Centennial projects in Georgia,
it was pointed be out. Admission to both j
events will by invitation. An inter-1
nationally famous orchestra has j
agreed to provide music for the ball, j
Judson E. Moses, Southeastern
press representative for M-G-M, is I
chairman of the special coordinating
committee. He has just returned from
New York where he completed ar¬
rangements for the return of “Gone
With the Wind” to Atlanta, as well
as inviting all living members of the
movie cast to come to Atlanta for the
two-day program.
Moses said that the 1939 premiere
of “GWTW” still ranks as the great¬
est film premieue in history. Exten¬
sive planning is under way to make
the 1961 occasion equally momentous,
Chairman Geer said.
TRIBUTE TO WEEKLIES........
Weekly and semi-weekly newspapers
Senator Frank Carlson (R.-Kans.) said
in a recent Senate speech. The oc¬
casion for his remarks was his in¬
clusion in the Congressional Record of
an address by Wallace E. Emmons,
publisher of the Burlingame (Karts.)
Enterprise-Chronicle.
“No periodical is more thoroughly
read than the weekly. It is the news¬
paper that is personalized by carry¬
ing items of local interest. To those
who are_ living away from their home
communities, the weekly newspaper is
just like a letter from home,” Carlson
said.
He added: “In these modern times,

great increase in the circulation of the

“I FOUND IT”
Ross Cutting
There’s a story behind the fact that
we do not use any aluminum cook
ware at our house.
Back in earlier years Mabel began
having an occasional seige of stomach
distress. The distress finally developed
into severe stomach pains which
would last for three or four days,
then leave. Possibly they would not
return for two months. That was in
the days of 25 cent,butter and $75.00
monthly pay checks, so we seldom
consulted a doctor except for serious
emergencies, and Mabel endured the
intermittent stomach pains for sev¬
eral years.
Then one #ay we read an article in
some church magazine which claimed
that all sorts of physical ailments can
be caused by cooking food in alum¬
inum ware. One of the claims was
that if meat seasoned with salt were
cooked in an alumium pan and left in
the pan three days the meat would
kill any dog that ate it. The article
mentioned household tests which any¬
one couid make to prove that the
metal dissolves and mixes with the
liquids being cooked. quite convincing
The argument was
and we began to wonder if Mabel’s
stomach pains were being caused by
our cooking in aluminum ware.
Mabel made a trip to another state
to visit her parents while I stayed on
my iob and kept house, doing my own
cooking. I opened a can of peas for
lunch one noon, ate part of them and
set the remainder, still in the alum¬
inum sauce pan, up in the cupboard.
(Refrigerators were a luxury beyond
our means.) I promptly forgot the
peas in the cupboard. Four days later
I happened to see the pan, took it out
of the cupboard and noticed that the
bottom of the pan was moist. The
liquid in the pan had eaten several
small holes through the bottom of the
pan! That was the final argument, for
us, against aluminum ware. We got
rid of every piece we had and bought
porcelain kettles and pans. (Stainless
steel had not been invented.)
After six or eight months Mabel’s
stomach pains became less bother¬
some. Within a year they had van¬
ished—and they have never returned.
Evidently we had “FOUND IT”.
We have been told since then that
some people are allergic to aluminum.
Right or wrong, I still say BOSH!
Have you a “FOUND IT”? Our
readers might like to hear about it.
Send it to the Courier. We’ll write the
story if you don’t feel qualified.
PROPERTY OWNERS, WAKE*UP -
Local taxing units are scratching
for money and the people are paying.
In the State of Oregon property taxes
for the 1960-61 tax year have reached
a that record-breaking $200 million. And
amounts to $113.76 for every
man; woman an child in the State. The
right of private property ownership is
the strength of the individual in a free
tions society. Property taxes in wide sec¬
of the country are reaching a
level which limits the opportunity of
the individual to own land and other
property. The “munificent benefits”
included in the ever-expanding pro¬
grams financed by public treasuries
are thus exacting a high toll.
