Who said we could not have winter sports in our moun¬

snows do fall in our mountains.
GUEST EDITORIAL FROM
SEN. BEALL
Maryland’s Junior U. S. Senator,
J. Glenn Beall (R), in his weekly
newsletter to his constituents under
today’s date, comments as follows:
“The President, in his recent ad¬
dress at Yale University, spoke of
‘myths., Here are some myths, not
mentioned by him, which apparent¬
ly his advisors blindly follow:
“Myth No. 1: Pump-priming defi¬
cit spending is not to be feared.
“Myth No. 2: Unemployment com¬
pensation is an acceptable way of
life.
“Myth No. 3: People have a right
to Federal ‘aid.’
“Myth No. 4: Creeping inflation
—‘watering’ of money is not to
be feared.
“Myth No. 5: Mounting National
Debt is not to be feared.
“Myth No. 6 : Big, Centralized
government is not to be feared.
“Myth No. 7: Only the group at
the White House expresses the na¬
tional interest.”

CHEMICAL CAPSULES may some
day be inserted in the human heart
to guard against failure, and in
other body tissue to fight cancer
and diabetes. Thyroid hormone cap¬
sules, under development at the
Naval Medical Research Institute
in Bethesda, Md., stimulate the
heart’s activity in a way similar to
the tiny electronic “pacemaker” de¬
vices now used to keep a weak
heartbeat regular.
And from Fenton M. Dancy, De¬
catur, “At an Atlanta lunch count¬
er I ordered apple pie with a glass
of milk. A lady sitting next to me
said, ‘Don’t you want cheese with
that? My Mother used to say, “An
apple pie without cheese is like a
kiss without a squeeze. 11 11 11
“I believe she was right,” opines
Mr. Dancy. “You try it some time.”
I assume he means the pie and
cheese. —Leo Hilman, Atlanta Con¬
stitution.
It was a sweltering summer day,
and the perspiring obstetrician was
rushing frantically to examne all
his patients before answering a sum¬
mons from the hospital.
“These hot August days getting
you down, doctor?” asked the wom¬
an sympathetically.
“No.” said the doctor, ‘It’s not
these hot August days that are both¬
ering me — it’s those cold nights

A HEALTHY MODEL
THE COOSA Valley area of North¬
west Georgia has made sufficient
progress in its regional development
plan to earn a personal appearance
from the governor and some highly
complimentary words from him.
The Coosa Valley story is an ex¬
ample of what can be done through
the regional, multi-county approach
to economic development. The cit¬
ies, towns and counties in the area
pooled their talent and resources
and subordinated local rivalries to
the good of the whole section.
In doing so, they acknowledged
that the benefits of economic prog¬
ress are not enjoyed solely by those
within narrow geographical limits,
but that they have a way of spread¬
ing and diffusing themselves through
out a wide area.
The seeds of regional cooperation
have been sown all over the state in
recent years by those who know
what it can accomplish. But except
in the Coosa Valley area, these seeds
have fallen on barren ground, and
stony places. Let’s hope the picture
improves, now that we have a heal¬
thy and growing plant for a model.
There are several spots in Geor¬
gia which are fading away for want
of a sound economic base. Gov. Van¬
diver and his administration have
set in motion a number of plans to
bring relief but the whole job can’t
be done by the state. A lot could be
accomplished if the towns and cou¬
nties involved would bury their riv¬
alries and become friendly neigh¬
bors, which is exactly what the Coo¬
sa Valley folks have done.
