Schools closed last Wednesday
noon and have not been reopen
ed. According to information
from some Of the principals they
will not be able to open until the
buses can operate over the coun-
ty roads. Several Of the prin-
cipals said they hoped to be open
on Monday if the weather and
road conditions would permit.
Several cars were stalled on the
Glendale Springs highway on
Saturday night, near Fred Col
wards, because Of deep drifts and
had to be abandoned until Sun
day mroning After working
several hours, the highway forces
were able to open this The Sun
day mail was delayed more than
two hours because Of the blocked
road. The Grassy Creek high
way was also blocked at Jeffer-
son near Bryan divers resi-
dence on Monday, for time, be-
cause of drifts.
Very few minor accidents were
reported, however, az travel has
been extremely light. Those
used to snow, used chains and
drove without trouble where
roads were not blocked, how
ever.
The weather is expected to
warm up this week end and melt
much of the snow away, accord
ing to most predictions.

all needs of the country"
1T is generally agreed that the
excise tax system needs thor
ough oVerhauling from the hur-
rledly imposed war time tax rates
and that corporate taxes are like
wise so high that in the opinion
of many tax experts, they consti-
tute a serious deterrent to bust
ness enterprise.
Earl Bunting, president of the
National Association of Manufac-
turers, told congress this week
that lin all this nations history
there is no comparable example
of inability of government to con-
troll its expenditures. Whether
the revised estimates for the cur
rent fiscal year, or the initial
estimates for the fiscal year of
1948 are considered, the situation
revealed by the President is
equally frightening.
The great mutations of history
did not develop because leaders
of government planned it that
way, but because they did not
plan it any other way. The full
consequences of improvident pol
icles of government are void
ed only when men of response
bility and stature, working in the
public interest, look squarely at
all the facts and make the de
cisionS which have to be made if
fiscal order is to be preserved"
Bunting said.
On the labor front there seems
to be a growing sentiment for a
limitation on industry wide bar
gaining. Testimony before the
labor committees indicates that
this practice, although defended
by labor, make work to the dis
advantage of labor in many cases.
Evidence was introduced to show
that this is a case in both the
hosiery industry and the West
Coast paper and pulp industry.
In these industries, local unions,
affiliated with international I'M
ions, have protested that indus
try-Wide collective bargaining
prevents them from getting high
er wages than if permitted to bar
gain alone.

into the soil, he said, in explain
ing its value.
Farmers see a conservation of
moisture and a reduction of wa
ter runoff which results in a de
crease in loss of topsoil with its
lime, fertilizer, and organic mat
ter and in an increase in crop
yields. Strip cropping with rows
on the contour not only cOnserveS
soil and water but also time and
energy. Less time is required to
cultivate a given area in long
rows than in short rows because
of fewer turns, and contour rows
can usually be made longer than
rows in the square fenced field.
This is usually accomplished by
providing for one large crop field
on which a good rotation permits
row crops, grains, and meadow
to be grown" McLaurin con-
Guided.

The Meaning Of Soil
Conservation

DR.. Hugh Bennett in Our American
Land" in defining soil conservation points
out that the basis is wise use and proper
management of all lands" He further ex-
plains that it means using the land to
produce the greatest amounts of things
needed and at the same time protecting
it so it will not lose its productiveness.
AS DR.. Bennett explains, there are
many different types of measures that
help in soil conservation. Among them
are strip cropping, terraces, organic mat
ter, grass, crop rotations, fertilizer,
legumes, shrubs, trees, drainage if the
land is too wet and irrigation if it is too
dry. All of these tools of soil conserva-
ton are not suitable or practical for all
types of land; for all land is not alike and
each field must be used and protected &C
cording to its needs.
Soil has it's troubles and many of them
that conservation helps to prevent include
topsoil washing or blowing away; cover
ing good land with erosion debris; eX-
haustion of plant food in the soil by over
cropping and leeching; accumulation OF
toxic salts; too much water resulting IN
wet lands; lack of water; burning of Or
ganic soils and improper cultivation.
Does your land have any of these trou-
bIes? If it does your soil conservation
practices are not inclusive enough. Have
a plan made and put into practice those
methods that will result in wise use and
proper management. This is true soil
conservation.

The Changing Times

During the war, and for some time after
it ended, retail stores had to take what
ever goods were offered them, even when
prices were high and quality was low.
Consumers had to be content with smaller
and poorer stocks to choose from. This was
a situation that couldn't be helped-it was
the certain consequence of wars insati-
able demands on our producing machine.
Now, however, times seem to be rap
idly changing-and for the better. Bust
ness papers and trade journals report that

Washington, D. C. - Formal
announcement of President Tru-
mans candidacy in the 1948 pres
idential campaign, the Presi-
dents reiteration of his plan for
presidential succession, continued
hearings before both senate and
house labor committees. and the
confused COP picture of tax leg
islation continued to occupy the
spotlight in official Washington
this week.
Democratic National Chairman
Hannegan chose a time at which
the presidents popularity is de-
cidedly on the upsWing to throw
the boss hat in the ring. and
although there was little doubt in
any ones mind that the Presi-
dent would be candidate to sue
coed himself, the Hannegan an
nouncement opened wide the
field of politics as it is being
played day-by-day in this 8Oth
congress.
And in the face of his announc-
ed candidacy, President Truman
took occasion to reiterate to the
congress his belief that the
speaker of the house and then
the President of the senate should
be the line of succession to the
presidency instead of appointed
cabinet officials starting with the
secretary of state and then to the
secretary of the treasury.
It will be remembered that
President Truman made this
same suggestion to the Democrat
lc 10th congress when the speak
er was Democrat and when Ed
Stettlnlus was secretary of state.
The Democratic house passed such
a bill by voice vote on June 20,
l945, only ten days after Truman
had sent his special message to
the Congress. In the meantime
Secretary Stettinius resigned and
Secretary James Byrnes was
named to the post. and apparent
ly this appointment allayed any
fears Democrats might have had,
for the bill remained buried in
the senate committee on privil-
eyes and elections through the
rest Of the session in spite of Mr..
Truman'S renewed request on
January IA, 1917.
Mr.. Truman is at least consist
ent, for under this proposal, if
anything should happen to him,
his plan would place Speaker Joe
Martin, a Republican, in the
. White House. In the meantime.
the house has passed a bill which
would limit the term of the Presi-
dent to two or any part of two
terms. In Mr.. Truman's case the
| bill if law, would limit him to
only one complete term begin
ming in 1949 although he will not
have served a full term by that
time.
Tax experts here, both in and
out of government, profess to see
only danger in the COP approach
to the tax question. The charge
has been openly made on the
floor of the house and in both
senate and house committees that
the COP leadership has no over
all plan for revision of the tax
structure and that the plan to
merely reduce the individual in
come tax indicates the COP steer
ing committee rs more interested
in the vote-getting possibilities OF
tax reduction than in the kind
of tax reduction required to adj
just the tax burdens to the over

FIRST AID" REMEDY FOR
CRIME WAVE

In order to destroy any obnox-
ious weed it is necessary to pluck
it out by the roots. Likewise to
check the crime wave that is now
destroying our nation it is neces-
sary to begin at the right time
and in the right place. Without
doubt this place is in the home
and the time is in early child
hood. LAS the twig is bent so
is the tree inclined," says the
Bible. There is no clearly de-
fined time just when the first
impressions are to be made, or
should be made. Some psychol-
ogists tell us however that this
training should begin long be-
fore the child is born. l shall let
the psychologists deal with him in
his "preborn" state and l shall
deal with him afterWard. Too
many parents assume that the
child must be of some size before
he knows right from wrong.
What mistake! Here the crime
wave starts.
Facts are sometimes stubborn
things, but we must face them,
and if we differ, still be friends.
Too many parents have lost
control Of their children. Chill
dren IN their "teens' and under
are "monarchs Of all they sur
Vey about their homes. They get
what they want if it is possible
to be had, and go and come when
they please night or day."
This same boy, in many in
stances, is turned over to the
school teacher where he pursues
the same course. He has the
proper background to carry on"
We would like to assume that
this child would be a regular stu
dent in Sunday school and
church, but his pew is usually
vacant. These statements are
not direct thrusts at any parent,
teacher, or any other Individual. |
1t is undeniable that a general"
condition exists that can be and
should be stopped.
The remedy is to revert to dis
clpllne in the homes, in the
schools, and in this way the crime
wave which is sweeping this ma
ton will at least lose some of its
destructive force and our girls
and boys be saved from destruc-
ton.
