There were 798 unhospitalized
cases of infectious tuberculosis in
Georgia on January 1. 1956, ac
cording to the tuberculosis reg

Health. In addition, there were
3.144 such unhospitalized persons
on the register known to have
had symptoms at their last ex

Many of these tuberculosis pa

are patients that have been to

them seven or eighe times, and
have left for one reason or an

This unsolved problem of ade

depression "agony" which beset
his administration 27 years ago
Hoover said big federal budget*,
if continued, would bring on a
depression. He apparently was
referring to the 1» »8 fiscal budget
proposed by the Elsenhower
Administration, which Secre
tary of the Treasury George
Humphrey lambasted initially
I Thereafter, he clammed up on
' the subject.
But Hoover explained why
huge federal budgets and very
high taxes would bring on a de
pression. and he should know
something about depressions.
Heavy spending by the govern
ment makes high taxes neces
sary, he said, and both these fac
tors contribute to the move
i toward higher prices. This trend
forces small businesses to sell
to larger businesses, in some
cases, and invariably reduces pri
vate investment which provides
new jobs and more efficient
lower costs.
Hoove/also pointed out federal
spending was much larger than
budget estimates reveal, since
estimates do not include the op
' eration of huge pension and
trust funds and indirect spend
ing. The former President said
total federal, state and local op
erations cost the taxpayers $103,-
000.000.000 a year. These taxes
take so much from earnings, in
many cases, he believes, that sav
ings are unable to finance the
needs of a growing population
■ and economy.
Hoover warned that it was too
difficult, under the present tax
structure, to begin a new busi
■ ness, and said the Communists
would be the great gainers should
this country experience another
severe depression, as the Reds
; have said we would. He also
warned that only a limited num
ber of public works projects could
be built by the government and
that citizens will have to realize
as much.
Os all his statements, the one
' which impressed Washington ob
’ servers most was his clear warn
ing that signs of a coming de
pression were apparent. Congress
will probably be more economy
minded as a result of the ex-
President s warning. And chances
are good that the 85th Congress
will pass a law requiring govern
ment agencies and departments
to return all monies appropriated
for the fiscal year which are un
spent at the end of that time.
The civil rights battle, an an
nual Washington affair, is erupt
ing in both the Senate and House
this year On the House side the
controversial Eisenhower civil
rights program is being pushed
by government officials from At
torney Genera) Herbert Brownell
on down the line. The subcom
mittee hearing the testimony is
stacked and does not Include
even one Southerner.
Naturally. Southerners are bit
terly protesting the situation and
claiming that the present House
effort Is a purely political show
for the votes of various groups.
They also claim that the Elsen
hower program, which would
allow the federal government to
come into states and arrest peo
ple on various civil rights in
fringements would do violence to
all the long-accepted doctrines
concerning the powers reserved
to the ;fates
But proponents of the pro
gram, Including Brownell, say
the program would not violate
the rights of the states and
would allow the Justice Depart
ment to see that all citizens hud
full freedom and rights to vole
and live their lives under equal
treatment and protection of the
laws
While proponents sense almost
sure victory in the House, they
are concerned over n possible
Senate filibuster In the upper
legislative body. Minority Leader
William Knowland has set March
Ist as the deadline for considera
tion of a civil rights program
Whether a filibuster and a fight
over cloture will greet this effort
depends on whether Knowland
and other Senators ran get some
Southerners to join them in a
constitutional civil rights ap
proach.

Rt. 1. Trion. Ga.
Summerville News,
To the Editor:
Sir:
On Friday morning March Ist,
1957, I met Commissioner Jones
on the sidewalk near the Post
Office and asked him if the pro
posed dog pound and dog catcher
would operate county wide.
His reply was that in his opin
ion it could only operate inside
the city limits of Summerville.
If this be true then it is my
personal opinion that county tax
money should not be spent for
the benefit of Summerville alone.
If it is purely for the City of
Summerville then let the city
pay for it.
As for its being self supporting,
please name me just one project
that is tied in with government
whatsoever that has ever proved
to be self supporting.
The Taxpayers always wind up
holding the bag.
If a campaign can be started
that will eliminate all the use
less dogs in the county I would
gladly back it to the limit.
In the past five (5) years I
and my neighbor, Mr. Jess Bean,
have'had not less than three (3)
dozen mangy sorry dogs dumped
out of cars near our homes.
If these dogs are not fit for
the owners to keep, why don’t
they kill them instead of dump
ing them off on some one else.
Respectfully,
Henry C. Foster, Sr.
(Editor’s note — The dog
pound, according t o present
plans, will serve all of Chattooga
County).

Summerville, Georgia
Attention: Editor
Gentlemen:
Recently I had the pleasure of
meeting with Mr. Rupert L.
Murphy, Commissioner. Inter
state Commerce Comission, at a
meeting in Chattanooga and he
gave me some information and a
request which I would like to pass
along to you.
Mr Murphy resides in Alex
andria. Va. and happened to
meet his next door neighbor who
was a Major Laddie L. Lowe. Mr.
Lowe had mentioned to him that
his people was originally from
Summerville, Georgia and he
would certainly like to hear from
some of his people who should
still be in the Summerville vac
inity. He mentioned the fact that
at one time he was heading down
to Summerville to look up some
of his folks, but while he was in
Chattanooga at the Read House
he got orders from the Army to
report to another base immedi
ately and never received the op
portunity of looking up some of
his people. Since he is anxious
to hear from some of his rela
tives., I was wondering if you
could possibly contact some of
his people who might still be
around either by personal con
tact or through your newspaper.
Major Laddie L. Lowe is the
son of Mr. John Lankford Lowe
who lived and was born in the
Summerville area. Mr. John
Lankford Lowe was the youngest
child of a family of thirteen
children and moved to Texas at
an early age. He married a Clara
May Collier in Ruliff. Texas or
Deweyville. Texas. Since Mr.
Lowe'was the youngest child of
a family of thirteen children, it
is undoubtly some Lowe’s or
Lankfords around the vacinity
of Summerville who might pos
sibly be in a position to write
to the Major who would certainly
like to hear from him. Lankford
is also a family name and should
probably enable vou to locate
something for the Major.
Anv help which you might give
this request will be certainly ap
preciated.
Yours very truly.
