Gov. Carter has made an
other foolish political move in
attempting to cut the Market
Bulletin, weekly publication of
the State Dept, of Agriculture,
by $140,000 a year, thus forc
ing the Bulletin to be publish
ed only twice a month. This
cut, which is contained in the
fiscal *73 budget, is drawing
the vehement opposition of
both rural and urban legisla
tors. One would expect the
rural boys to be against It,
but the urban opposition is
somewhat of a surprise. How
ever, as Repr. Elliot Levitas
told us, Commissioner Tom
my Irvin has made the pub
lication into an organ that is
extremely beneficial to city
people, too, and Mr. Levitas
feels that his urban constitu
ency needs its services.
Carter wants space in the
Bulletin to explain the pro
posed budget cut to its read
ers, but Mr. Irvin may just
refuse him, since he doesn’t
want to inject politics of any
sort into the Bulletin’s co
lumns.

On the subject of this De
partment, we might report that
Tom Linder, the Governor's
reorganization director, is
considering a race against
Irvin in 1974.

he had his picture made with

Jimmie Carter just might
not be a delegate to the Dem

this summer. The Governor
says he will run for the post

3rd District delegation, and
is threatening to oppose Car

We don’t lave the space to
properly set forth the good
reasons why the bill lowering
the legal age to 18 should be
killed, but here’s a few: (1)
How can the colleges disci
pline the 95% of their students
who are over 18, and how could
parents straighten out an er
rant student? (2) Wliat would
stop the 18 year old adults
from registering to vote in
their college town and there
by controlling all city and
county elections. (3)Financial
loss to the state in fees which
have been chai-ged out-of
state students. These students
would only have to say “we
live here’’. (4) A tremendous
increase In economic troubles
of 18 years olds who can be
sold just about anything “on
time’’.
Think carefully, Mr. Repre
sentative, before you vote for
this bill.

Albert Underwood of Fitz-
ATLANTA (PRN) - My
intentions were good, and I
know they were appreciated;
nonetheless, there’s no doubt
my wife was disappointed. I
was too. 1 had ordered her a
set of hunting coat and pants,
but only the pants came.
When 1 inquired of my good
friend, Bob Ingram, who is
sales manager of Gamewinner
Inc., here in Atlanta, about
her coat, he told me. “We’re
dropping women’s hunting
clothes from our line. There
just isn’t enough market for
them.”
This took me by surprise. I
would have thought there was
enough of an increase in the
number of ladies taking to the
field, that there’d be more of a
market.
Maybe I’m wrong about
increased interest in hunting
and fishing on the part of the
ladies, but 1 don’t think so.
Just the other night I spoke to
the Gwinnett County
Sportsman’s Club at a Ladies
Night dinner. It was the first
time this club had invited
wives, I believe. I took
advantage of the situation, and
actually talked more to the
wives than I did the members.
I found a high precentage of
the ladies had a genuine
interest in hunting and fishing,
and were pleased at being
recognized. Several of them,
along with their husbands,
talked hunting and fishing
with me for more than an
hour and a half afterward.
There was no doubt in my
mind that these girls are really
interested, and will go every
chance they get.
What puzzles me, is what do
they wear afield? Now, I know
that many a successful hunter
goes afield day in and day out
without ever wearing regular
“store-bought” hunting
clothes. Who is to say they are
a necessary item? I’d hate to
be pinned down on
percentages, but I suppose
perhaps half the hunters
seldom if ever wear hunting
clothes, other than a pair of
overalls or jeans, and an old
shirt and coat. They do well
enough, all right. There’s no
requirement for a “uniform"
to enjoy hunting. Yet, I do
know that proper clothing
adds pleasure to the sport.
I remember the first time I
ever saw anyone dressed in
“regular” hunting clothes. I
was a kid of about 14, I
suppose, and in my part of the
world we wore the shoes we
plowed with, and the same
kind of pants, too. I thought
this guy was really a city
gerald; and several nieces and
nephews.

Proper Hunting
Clothes Add To
Outdoor Pleasure
slicker, sure enough.
In later years, however, I’ve
managed to collect a pretty
fair assortment of hunting
clothes. I wouldn’t trade my
extra-heavy double-faced
nylon brushbuster hunting
pants for anything, when I’m
wading through a briar patch.
I can remember days when
hunting bunnies or birds in the
briars, I came home with legs
that resembled freshly ground
hamburger, and I feel my
investment in those pants were
well worth it.
And on rainy days, those
waterproof pants and coat
keep me far drier than regular
work clothes. Then, there’s
the insulated coveralls. For
chilly weather, sitting either
on a deer stand or in a duck
blind, they are tops. Many is
the day I’ve been grateful for
them.
Proper hunting clothes have
other advantages. The
coveralls are red, important
for deer hunting (when I wear
them duck hunting, 1 wear a
camouflage suit over them).
The dull brown is dandy for
duck hunting or dove hunting,
but camouflage is even better
for these. Brown again is great
for bird and bunny hunting,
but I prefer to wear a blaze,
orange cap for such
excursions .. .1 want to give
my companions an advantage
in seeing me.
On top of that, quality
hunting clothes last longer
than other fabrics, in the
tough assignments they get
afield. I’m glad selections are
getting better all the time for
men. I’m disappointed,
though, to find there isn’t
much available for the gals.
I’ve looked for a long time to
find good hunting boots for
my wife, at no avail. Dressed
better, they’ll enjoy their
outdoor sports even more.

At least, a 15-man task
force has been named to try
to establish a medical school
at Mercer University in Maccn
by 1974.
The task force was named
by Charles H. Jones, Presi
of the Macon Chamber of Com
merce, and is headed by Dr.
W. Earl Lewis, Macon physi
cian, Immediate past presi
dent of the Bibb County Board
of Education.
Harold Logan, vice presi
dent for development at Mer
cer University said the orig
inal idea to establish a medi
cal school at Mercer was ad
vanced by former UJS. Rep.
Carl Vinson of Milledgeville.
Logan said the position of
Mercer University president
Dr. Rufus C. Harris is that
if the community feels that
there is a need and a de
mand for such a school, “it
is within the scope of the uni
versity’s activity to provide
this service.”
Nixon's Budget
Disappointing To
Sen. Talmadge
Georgia’s senior U. S. Her
man E. Talmadge, a ranking
Democrat on the Senate Fin
ance Committee, which over
sees all tax legislation on
that side of Congress, said
he is “appalled” at the fin
ancial deficit that has piled
up during the three years of
the Nixon administration and
at the President’s plans to go
even farther into debt next
year.
Sen. Talmadge’s remarks
came after President Nixon
told Congress he wants to
spend a record $246 billion,
with a deficit of $25 billion,
next year. The President also
reported the deficit this fiscal
year, ending June 30, will be
a post World War 11 record
of $38.8 billion.
The White House last year
had estimated that the fiscal
1972 deficit would reach about
sll billion, far below the S3B.
8 billion figure Nixon reported
in his budget message toCon
gress.
WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALAMO, GA. 30411
FRIDAY, FEB. 4, 1972
Commented the Georgia Sen
ator: “ And we thought Lyndon
Johnson was a big spender...
It’s like trying to spend your
self rich or drink yourself
sober. It can’t be done.”
As chairman of the Senate
Agriculture Committee, Sen.
Talmadge made these further
observations:
"Frankly, the President’s
budget message is disap
pointing. He manages to pro
ject a continuing deficit budget
of over $25 billion, that also
provides for major retrench
ments in programs for rural
development and formers,”
Talmadge said in citing these
examples:
An eight per cent cut in ftmds
for rural water, sewer and
solidwaste disposal.
A cut of 5.5 per cent in
real terms in conservation
and environmental services
for Soil Conservation Ser
vice.
A reduction of SSO million
in rural environmental prot
ection assistance and agricul
tural conservation practices.
A $l5O million cut in loans
for farm and agricultural em
ergency credit.
Reduction in rate for expend
itures for small watershed
protection and flood prev
ention.
A heavy reduction in rates
projected for forestry activ
ities.
A deep cut in the projected
rate for area district devel
opment. “ttie bright spot in
the area of our primary con
cern is acceptance by the
President of the improved
food and child nutrition prog
rams demanded by Cong
ress,” Sen. Talmadge dec
lared.
"But, “he added, “I am again
discouraged when, in the
foce of the bipartisan judg
ment of the members of the
Senate Committee on Agric
ulture and Forestry NOT to
phase out the over a dozen
programs involved in the
special rural community dev
elopment revenue sharing
bill, the President reiterates
this already rejected idea.
“I had hoped the President
would drop this demand and
cooperate with the committee
in bringing about enactment
of a meaningful revenue shar
ing plan along the lines of
the measure pending before
the committee.
“We welcome the Pres
ident’s further suggestion
first indicated in the State of
the Union message, that he
will cooperate with the com
mittee in preparing and
moving forward with signif
icant rural development credit
legislation.”
