AT LONG LAST, word is ap
parently getting through to the
powers that be in Washington
’that the American public and
Congress are growing more and
more dissatisfied with the na
tion’s billion a year foreign
aid program.
Taxpayers and many Con
gressmen lately have become in-
creasingly per-;
sistent in ex-;
pressing con-;
cem over for- \
eign aid and ’
the fear that I
we may be
spending more 1
•How, but en
joying it less. I
The President last month ap
pointed a study committee to
take a look at the program to
see if it is fulfilling its desired
objectives by contributing ma
terially to the security of the
United States and the economic
and political stability of the Free
■World.
I hope that the committee will
Hot pull any punches and will
give foreign aid the good going
over it needs. The public, de
manding better results and con
crete evidence that foreign aid
is doing all it is supposed to do,
is in no mood for a whitewash
and will not be deluded into be
ing sold a bill of goods.
• » *
THERE IS A growing aware
ness that dollar diplomacy and,
in many instances, the pouring
of good money after bad, is not
sound foreign policy, and that it
does little, if anything, to com
bat Communism. There particu
larly should be a re-examination
of economic aid programs to so
called non-alligned nations and
to those which tend to embrace
Communist doctrines.

eral taking part.

Miss Leggitt, HD Agent gave a
talk on fall-out shelters and gave
a demonstration of making Easter
eggs and also rooting cuttings.
There were ten members pre
sent and one visitor. Cold drinks,
crackers and cake were served
by the hostess.
The committee, headed by re
tired Gen. Lucius D. Clay, a
native Georgian, has a sterling
opportunity to bring about a re
vamping of some of the policies
of the program to guarantee to [
the people that their foreign aid
dollars are being wisely spent.
Another Georgian serving on
the committee, Eugene R. Black, ;
past president of the World
Bank, recently laid down some
sensible guidelines for an effee- [
tive foreign aid program.
To Mr. Black, it is not a mat
ter of how much is spent, but
how it is spent. Foreign aid bills
would not be so difficult to get
through Congress, he contends,
if there were more emphasis on
quality and less on amount. “I
don’t think you can combat Com
munism, no matter how much
money you give, unless the
money is properly spent,” he [
declared.
THIS IS PRECISELY my
position and it has been for as
long as I have served in the
Senate. I have long held the
view that this is the most im
portant consideration in formu
lating our foreign aid policy.
We ought not to try to buy j
friends abroad or make the
world over in our own image.
Nations receiving foreign aid
must have sound fiscal policies
so that aid funds will not go
down the drain of inflation.
lam not opposed to the hu- j
manitarian aims of foreign aid
or to the strengthening of our ,
defense posture. But I will al
ways vote against indiscriminate
economic aid, the value of which
is at best dubious.

HOME NOTES
By WILLIE LEGGITT
GIRLS TO VISIT
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA
High school and junior college i
girls, interested in a home eco-:
nomics career, can get a first- [
hand look at the University of [
Georgia’s School of Home Econo- :
mics on Friday, February 8. Thel
school is holding its annual Home ;
Economics Day.
The event is designed to inter- .
est prospective students in home [
economics by showing them the i
activities and opportunities of
majors offered by the University’s
School of Home Economics.
Guided tours are planned to
I take the visiting girls to the nur
sery school, home management
j houses, Dawson Hall and the
i freshman women’s dormitories.
; Luncheon will be served in the
i University’s cafeteria.
Various departments of the
[school will have displays showing
[the activities of students in home
j economics courses.
High school sophomores, jun
[iors, seniors and junior college
[girls are invited to attend. Home
(economics teachers and home de
monstration agents from all parts
lof the state will also attend.
[ If you have ■>ver thought of
[home economics as a career, this
[would be an excellent opportun
[ ity to see what the field really
offers. It should help you to make
:up your mind concerning college
[ training in this subject field. And
[ too, you will be able to see the
| fast-growing campus of the Uni
versity of Georgia, now enrolling
about 9,500 students.
COLD WEATHER
EFFECTS ON PLANTS
Cold weather conditions have
left their mark on ornamental
shrubs but cold damage is not
[as severe as feared earlier.
Considerable leaf injury has oc
curred to a wide variety of plants.
Many of the leaves of plants may
have turned brown. Much of the
leaf damage is due to dessication
of the leaves. This condition oc
curs when the frozen root system
cannot take up adequate amounts
of water to compensate for that
given off by the leaves. This type
of injury is most severe when
there is a great deal of air move
|ment during the freezing period.
The stems of plants are gener-
I ally in good condition. Very few
of the shrubs suffered bark-split
[ ting. Bark-splitting is one of the
[ most destructive types of cold in-
[ jury.
Severe pruning be postponed
until the exact extent of cold in
jury is determined. The best
method of determining cold in
jury to stems is to scrape the bark
with your thumb. If the area un
derneath the bark is a normal
white or light green color, prun
ing would not be advisable. A
gray-green or blackened appear
[ ance are indications of stem in
[ jury. This type of growth should
[be pruned out by early spring.
[ One possible reason shrubs
[came through the extremely low
I temperatures is the fact that they
[were in a dormant condition at
the time of the freeze. Dormancy
had not been broken by warm
• periods preceding the cold span.
[ The temperatures prior to a freeze
[ are important factors as to the
। amount of injury that will occur
[ to plants.
iHome Furnishings For '63
! Home furnishings for this year
[are fascinating and different. Al
[ though furnishings do not change
ias quickly as some other fields,
[ there are changes that make them
[just as exciting. Would you like
[ a few examples?
Sofas are really leading double
[lives. There are sleek, trim mod
j els that may be had in several
[ different styles. But that’s not all,
[ these slender sofas are hiding
[ beds. They really are hidden well
। and there is a variety of widths
to select from—all the way from
■ the cozy love seat to the wide,
I wide decorator models.
Tables, too, are doing double
duty. Some may be extra seat
ing, others extend to serve a buf
[ set, yet others hold up the collec
i ti ons — books, bottles or what
! ever. The style may be Spanish,
[ Early American, Traditional or
: Contemporary. Tables may be the
: accent piece you use to bring your
■ room up-to-date or give it spice.
Area rugs are not entirely new,
[ but more and more are being
[used. They are used either on
[bare floors or over wall-to-wall
: carpets. You can use a small one
ito pull a grouping of furniture
[together, and at the same time
[serve as a conservation piece. One
[of the larger ones does an ex-
I cellent job of separating a dimng-
living room. Used in the dining I
area, it can be almost as effective
as a divider. Be sure the rug is
large enough for table and chairs
even when chairs are in use; oth
erwise it appears skimpy.
Floors are receiving more at
[ tention. Wood floors are very
pretty with area rugs. Even
[ smooth floor coverings are look
[ ing more like wood floors. Vinyl ।
[ tiles are translucent with chips [
[ of marble, wood or colored blocks.
[lf you have a good wood floor,
[ but one with no particular char
[ acter, you can splatter paint it
i for an Early American look. Sim
ply paint a solid basic color and
[ when dry splatter with other col- j
[ ors used in the room. Pretty and
! practical.
[ There are many new items to
see in furnishings, so plan what
you need and then shop ’til you
find it.

LOOKING BACK ...
By G. C. Barnhill
[I Over fifty years ago a mother
[ lay dying in a humble country
, j home near Glenwood. Neil Elbert
’ Barlow and six children were to
keep on traveling along the way
of life alone. Lillah, the oldest
daughter, only a child of ten years
of age, like many others have had
‘ । to do, must try to carry on and
1 i with the help of father and other
’[children they were able to keep
[ the home, such a sacred institu
' i tion.
■ I Lillah’s burden was relieved so
| much by the sacrificing kind
‘ [ hearted neighbor mother, Mrs.
1 i Eliza Gillis who took the infant
child and cared for it many years,
1 as one of her other children. Her
[ husband J. N. Gillis, carrying on
t with her and appreciating the un
! selfish spirit of his companion
1 ; who had added this care to the
’ I eight children they already had.
■ [ There was great rejoicing by the
’ [ children when this little baby was
r i brought in and laid in their arms.
’! Aldin, who at the time was a tiny
baby, had a cooing crying play
mate.
Lillah grew to young woman
'' hood and was blessed with that
i coveted beauty of face and form.
' A young man, Thad I. Johnson,
of the community began captur
: ing most of her time and armed
’ with Cupid’s bow and arrow, set
H in to win her heart. With the ad
' [ vantage of the horse and buggy
1 rides to Landsbung Church under
the silver moon, he landed an ar
row deep into her heart and then
1 led her to the marriage altar.
A new world opened up, Lillah
5 laid down the mantle of respon
'[sibility of the old home as she
[[and Thad began to build theirs.
‘ [ They had only enough money for
’ [ the bare necessities but they had
1 [ an abundance of love.
•| Children prattled around the
‘ i fireside and at watermelon time
! [ juice from the slices would run
outside their throats, making the
chores that had to be done a plea
sure.
Sunday was the Lord’s Day at
’: their home and on church days,
■ । the wagon was readied, that cer
‘; tain quilt was spread over the
, I body floor and after the problem
1 [ was solved as to which of the
- | children could ride in the back
[ and hang their feet out, they were
: i off to Landsburg Methodist
•! Church. The preacher would kneel
1 j down, place his hand on the sacred
, [ stand near the Bible, most of
>; the congregation with Thad, Lil
l! lah and the children would kneel
> [ for prayer and the preacher would
1 ‘ lead the call to the Most High,
, lOh Lord! Bless this people. One
[by one the children took their
■ places in the church.
• [ Time moves on, this time Lillah
■ [ and the children stood by and
■ [ looked on as the shadow of death
• [ covered Thad, but not until they
, [ had seen the fruits of their love
’[paid back to them an hundred
? i fold by their children’s love.
’[ On January the 27th, 1963 they
■: placed Lillah’s body in front of
, I the altar of Taylor’s Methodist
' [ Church at Brunswick with a beau
। j tiful background of flowers, mus
1[ ic and song carried the melody
:i of victory. The words from the
: [ Bible echoed faith, the eulogy by
: [ the pastor, together with under
! | standing as he took in a symbolic
i way the ax and blazed the way
■ I through this forest of world ten-
I sion.

words and the lowering of her

Naval Stores Support
Price Announced
A program continuing price sup
port for gum naval stores during
1963 was announced by the Agri
culture Department.
The announced support level
will be $34.28 per standard barrel .
(435 pounds net) of crude pine
gum processed basis, which is the
same as in 1962.
This announcement is deceiving
to the average gum farmer and
needs clarification. The $34.28 is
based on highest rosin grade and
■ content as well as assuming a
higher market price for spirits of
1 turpentine than exists. The price
is gross and does not reflect the
' high cost of making the gum eli
' gible for entry into a loan pro
• gram.
The disappointment price-wise
’ for the farmers’ gum is due to
' having no representation in grade
or content and takes whatever
price the processor considers fair
and equitable. The processor is
free to lower high grade gum
' which might be as much as $1.35
per barrel. He is also free to de
termine rosin content which might
vary as much as $2.00 per barrel.
This could possibly happen even
' though the processor is paid by
the gum farmer $4.60 per barrel
before he can place gum in the
loan. This exorbitant price is de
termined by the processor and the
farmer has no voice.
If the price should average for
1963 what it averaged for 1962
the take home pay for gum will
be approximately $27.75 per bar
rel.
Highway Reform
Bill Signed Into
Law By Sanders
Gov. Carl E. Sanders has signed
his first bill into law. It was House
Bill 1 which calls for reorganiza
tion of the State Highway Depart
ment. The administration-spon
sored legislation received final
; passage on the final day of the
two-week session. (The General
Assembly adjourned until Feb.
11.)
In signing the bill, which pro
vides for abandonment of the pre
sent three-man board in favor of
a 10-man board with a director
receiving $22,500 a year plus ex
penses, Gov. Sanders announced
that veteran Highway Board
Chairman James L. Gillis, of So
perton, would continue in that ca
pacity under the new setup.
The change becomes effective
immediately. However, a consti
tutional amendment will come
later to place the reform firmly
in the state’s law. Initially, the
highway board chairman and oth
er board members will be appoint
ed by the Governor, but by 1967
all members will have been elect
ed by the Legislature, and they
' will appoint a new director by
majority vote.
Purpose of the change, which I
Gov. Sanders calls a “reform,” |
was outlined by him in his recent ।
state of the state address: “. ..Tol
take the highway department out ।
of politics, to assure a planned, i
long-range state system of well
maintained rural roads, main
highways, through streets and in- j

Farmers Advised
To Check Timber
Tax Payments
Don’t overpay income taxes on
woodland earnings.
This is the advice of George
D. Walker, Extension forester of
the University of Georgia College
of Agriculture.
“We should all pay what we
owe,” he said, “but no one expects
us to pay more. Yet many land
owners do just this because they
fail to check the tax require
ments.”
A frequent mistake, he said, is
failure to realize that most tim
ber sales may be classified as cap
ital gains. This would represent
aconsiderable tax savings over
ordinary income.
Depletioon allowance is often
overlooked by many woodland
owners, the forester said. This
would be the amount of the capi
tal investment in the timber. This
amount may be taken from the
taxable income from the trees
over the life of the stand.
A simple example of this would
be as follows: An acre of forest
land was purchased for S2OO. A
SSO value was placed on the land
itself and $l5O value on the stand
ing timber. The timber depletion
allowance on this acre was the
$l5O. One year after purchase all
timber was sold for $175. The
$l5O depletion allowance could be
deducted from the $175. This
would leave only $25 to be taxed.
Most probably this $25 could be
treated as capital gain.
In most cases, however, Mr.
Walker said, all of the timber
would not be cut at one time so
only a prorated share of the de
pletion allowance could be de
ducted at each sale.
“There are many other ways
that tax savings may be made,”
he continued. “Spreading pay
ments from a sale over more than
