Blind Mechanic
Sells His Skill
To ToWnspeOpIe

HOLTVILLE. ALA.-A blind man
has the feel of this rural Alabama
community.
He is 39-year-old Carson Den
nison. and his talents as a
mechanic. electrician. plumber and
general repairman are so much in
demand the folks around here say
they wouldn't know what to do with
out him.
He started to take a war job
once. but the neighbors howled so
much he stayed home.
The feeling of being useful is
what Dennison has struggled for
since he was IS. That's when he
lost his eyesight.
His dream of independence has
paid off in the cash register. He'll
tackle anything from patching up
a wheeling jalopy to diving in Lake
Jordan to see if a boathouse piling
is put down right. But he turns
down work every day because he
has more than he a do.
Dennison doesn't consider his
blindness a handicap, either. It's an
asset. Take the time a customer
brought in a typesetting machine so
broken down nobody else would
touch it.

mate blasted his eyes with bird

he was Is the light went out for
good.
Despondent, he suffered through
one operation after another for five
years. Then one day in a New Or
leans hospital Dennison found a
new l%ight-from the inside.

Most people talk about magma

Ignoring the advice Of doctors,
Dennison began to imagine he could
be a mechanical engineer. He'd al

installing in a heating plant. II
wanted to do a job and send some
one a bill and get paid like anyone
else"
Works on Big Jobs
That's what he does. He finds
time now and then to squeeze in
small jobs, but most of his work
goes into big projects. such
as the heating systems he put in at
Holtville high school and the grade
school at nearby Eclectic.
Difficult wiring jobs don't bother
him. The refrigeration unit he in
at the high school had $50
separate connections, but he got
every n right.
When he takes on work like that,
his wife reads the blueprints aloud
and he memories them. Fellow
workers help him figure out the
color schemes that tell electricians
which wires go where.
Once he got crossed up-a helper
out to be color blind. But
carse connected the wires the way
he thought they should go when
he ran a test to see if they were
right. They were.
Dennison likes to take on jobs
hat others have bungled or given
up. Strangely, he says customers
better workmanship from
lin than they do from others.

Remember How
We Talked?

From where I sit, it's easy to
criticize the other person when we
don't take a good long look at our
selves. Sure, there1l always be
some differences. Pm fond of a
temperate glass of beer and maybe
you would prefer ginger ale-but
let's just live and let live. Because
when we go out of our way to find
things to find fault with in others,
chances are they can find a few in

Director Emeritus
Will Retire

After nearly SO years of con-

riculture, j. G. Taylor, director
emeritus of the Montana Ex-
tension service since 1916 and
prior to that extension director
for 20 years, is retiring Novem-

A native Montanan, Taylor
began his extension career APP
ril l, 1914 as district agent for
Dawson and Fallon counties and
he was one Of the first three
county agents to pioneer extern
sion work in the state.
Taylor's rise in extension was
rapid and a year after begin
ming work he was named Gus
ter county agent. In 1917 he
was made assistant county
agent leader, advancing to-act-
ing leader in 1921 and to leader
in 1928. In 1924 Taylor was
named acting director and a
year later he became director,

port of all its local and county
government, school systems and
state government itself COM
bined.
Mr.. Hammerstrom cited as
shocking facts in the federal
governments current fiscal pic
ture which cry out fir the err
nest consideration of Montana's
delegates in Congress" the fol-
lowing points:
l. The 43R billion dollar Fed
eral spending program author
lied by Congress for the fiscal
year of 1850 not only is the
largest peacetime spending bud
get in the nations history but
contains many new projects
which commit the government
to ever-increasing OUTLAWS in
the years ahead"
2. The Bureau of the Budget
estimates that 1850 receipts will
amount to 38 billion dollars,
which is 5R billion dollars un-
der the 1917 billion dollar
snending total. This impending
5R billion dollar deficit is lar
ger than the total taxes col
lected by the federal govern
ment In any peacetime year
3. The federal governments
return to deficit spending will
depreciate the value of every
dollar in the hands of Ameri-
can wage earners, housewives,
pensioners and local governing
bodies"
Mr.. Hammerstrom's statement
continued, 1.-THE tragic thing
about this sad picture is that
Congress and the executive
branch could have avoided def
icit financing by forthrightly
eliminating billions of dollars
worth of wasteful spending and
by exercising restraint in start
ing costly new pending pro-
grams and in dipping deep into
the pork barrel.
"Pro-spending Republicans
must share the blame with
their similarly disposed Demo-
cratic brethren in the 81st
Congress for the complete cap
itulation of Congress this year
to the spending bureaurracieS
and pressure groups in Wash
ington. Tens of thousands of
letters received by members of
Congress from folks back home
pleading for drastic cuts in ex-
cessive and wasteful federal
spending went practically un-
needed insofar as effective af-
firmative action was concerned.
"This nation cannot long srr-
vive the present irresponsible
orgy of deficit spending in
Washington without counting
disaster. Our Congressman are
back home now. They are
away from the high-octane
spending atmosphere of the
national capitol. 1t is high time
that we impress them with the
utter seriousness of the situa-
ton which this years Congress
has created.
eft is futile for us to aid and
arm the rest of the world in
the fight to arrest Communism
if at the same time we allow
the financial structure of our
nation to crumble simply to
satisfy the avarice and greed of
selfish, short-sighted spending
groups"

|C Of Says Montana Share. Of Federal
Deficit for Year viii Be S1q,25O,OOO

The Montana Chamber OF
Commerce today revealed that
Montana'S share of the cost of
meeting. the impending 5b bill
lion dollar federal deficit for
the fiscal year ending June 80,
1850, will be $19,250,000 "plus
interest for an indefinite num-
Der of years."
The Chambers estimate was
contained in a statement by A..
L.. HammerStrom of Billings,
Chairman of the State Cham
ber's governmental affairs di-
vision. This was released after
a study of the Presidents
midyear review of the 1850 bud
get made public November l..
Hammerstrom asked How
long shall those of us who
work give up our earnings to be
spent by those who will not
work?" He added that the fed
eral governments record
breaking peacetime spending
budget of 43R billion dollars
for the fiscal year 1850 will
exact from Montana taxpayers
an estimated $152,250,0O
Mr.. Hammerstrom explained
that Montana taxpayers cur
rently bear .35 per cent of the
total federal tax burden. Since
all federal expenditures and
deficit must be met by taxa
ton, the Chamber computed
Montana's share of the impend-
ing deficit as .35. per cent of
the 5R billion-dollar deficit, or
$19,250,000; similarly Montana's
share of the 1850 federal spend
ing budget is .35 per cent of
43k billion dollars, or $152,250,-
600.
MI. Hammerstrom emphasiz-
ed the relationship between
federal spending and taxes,
pointing out that "the size of
the federal tax bill is determin-
ed by the amount of federal
expenditures"
He pointed out that Monta-
mas share in the federal tax
take is more than twice the
total amount of state and local
taxes levied and collected in
Montana this year for the sup
