The question of expediency:
Should America give up con-

island which is our only COM
pletely reliable base in the Far
East?
Americas official answer.
given in a memorandum signed
by President Eisenhower and
Japanese Prime Minister Kishi
on June 81. 1857, is that the
United States will keep Oki-
nawa until the cold war ends.
No one today can see the end
Of the cold war.
Vast Aid From U. S.
To make that decision less in
conflict with American prin-
ciples, this country has tried to
be extremely nice to the Oki-
nawans. And to a large extent
it has succeeded.
Perhaps never has a group
of subject people benefited ma
terially so much and so last
from a foreign occupation Be-
fore World War II aOkinawa
was the poorest, most neglected
province of Japan. During the
war 1t was devastated. Today
1t looks prosperous. Its cities
are new and attractive. The
people are well dressed.
According to American sta
tistics, the average Okinawan
lives 20 years longer today than
before the war. The percent
age of school-age children in
school rose from 1872 per cent
to SO per cent. Okinawan
newspapers are read by 1873
persons per Thousand, compared
with l9 before the war.
Now 994 students per 1000
population are in technical
schools, compared with 1856.
The islands first university is
serving 2,100 students.
Per capita income is UP so

There were 100 commercial

Okinawa consume more
electric power in a month now
than they did previously in a
year. Half the Okinawans
made a living at trade or COM
merce before the war, 80 per
cent do so now.
Further, the Okinawans have
complete freedom Of speech
and association. They even
have a degree of political free
dom. electing their own local
officials and a Legislature.
Thus, materially they never
had it so good. If Americans
were Communists they coulc

Last year, for instance, far
merS in Holmes county failed
to plant 2.028 acres which could
have been planted under the
allotment plan. Based on an
approximate county yield of $50
pounds of lint per acre and a
conservative average price of
30c per pound, 1895, 10000 were
lost TO the farmers in this CO.
unity.
AS each dollar released into
the local trade channels turns
ovT approximately S times
before being removed from cir
culation. business firms of this
area lost about $1,977, 10000 in
trade volume.
If a farmer wants to plant
more cotton than his present
acreage allotment will allow
him, he has until March 1 to
notify the ASC office in writing,
requesting more acreage.
If a farmer does not plan to
plant all his allotted acreage in
cotton until April 1 to
release this acreage in order
hat another farmer in the CO.
unity can be allowed more acre
age to plant in cotton.
March 16 is another import
ant date for farmers this year.
That is the deadline he has to

Fire Destroys Tractor
At Pickens

During the early morning
hours of Monday, fire from an
undetermined source almost
completely destroyed the build
ing occupied by the Farm Ser
vice Company in Pickens.
The Farm Service Company,
owned and operated by Mr..
Wilmer Hart, is dealer for Mas
sic Ferguson Farm Equipment
and is a tractor and implement
repair business.
Several tractors were burned
as well as a large supply of
parts.
Speculation is that the bust
ness was robbed as the coin box
on the Coke machine and the
cash drawer had been emptied.
Although the building was al
most completely demolished,
fire fighters were able to save
all the surrounding buildings. :,

exceeding that of any country

There are many reasons for it,
not the least of which is a ma

Holmes County herald., 1960-02-18

While we are on the adver-
Using subject we'd like to en-
phasize the Importance of adver
Using right here in our own
County.
A good advertising program
placed in a media that will do
the most good, IS essential for
every business on a long range
basis. Every advertiser wants
direct results, of course. and
that is the end to which the
advertising media seeks. How
ever, some types of advertising
is aimed at building good will,
trying to create a favorable i'm
preston to potential customers
or visitors who may spend mon
ey in your store or community.
We think our new radio sta
ton, WXTN. has help to create
a better advertising atmos-
phere among the merchants in
Holmes county. and it is the
desire of Holmes County Herald,
with its weekly visit into the
$500 homes in the county, to
work with this media in help
ing to draw more people into
our own towns to spend their
money rather than go to nei-
ghboring counties and cities.
You can buy almost anything
you want in stores right here
In Holmes county. So why not
keep your money at home.
And by the way, the adver-
Users you see each week in the
Herald make it possible for this
newspaper to publish. Why not
get the habit and join the grow
ing number who say Il saw
it advertised in the Holmes
County Herald" Patronize
these advertisers, want you, and
if your favorite merchant does
not advertise. ask him why not.
Snow has been the general
Topic of conversation in Holmes
county this week, and Sunday a
ride around town to see the
various shapes and sizes of
"SnOwmen' that adorned al
most every front lawn, was just

Kitchens
the
Future
BY MARY L. VAUGHAN
HomefurnishingS Editor

Kitchens in homes Of the
not-so-distant future win
have a completely unclut-
tered look.
More practically, they'll
operate with push-button
ease well beyond the fondest
fancies Of today's home
makers.
Experimenting in this
realm Of au to m alton is
continuous with appliance
manufacturers. Most MAIN
tain experimental laborato-
ries seeking new ways of
cooking, refrigerating and
tightening the burdens of
meal planning, preparation
and serving.
General Electric has de-
veloped just such a push
button kitchen which they
describe as "thermoelectric,
ultraSonic, electronic and

Up-and-down push-button
controls In this experimental
kitchen operate, all cabinets,
refrigerator, dishwasher and
ovens-bringing the appli-
ances into view only when
needed.
To prepare a meal in this
kitchen, a homemaker of the
future would press a button
on the "Ultrasonic Dish

dishes with barely audible
Sound-in seconds.
With dinner in mind, she

she would press buttons
clearly marked with such
choices as: mixed hot hors

In 18 minutes a complete
meal would be waiting at the
dispensing end. Heat-proof
casseroles would automati-
cally have left the freezer
section to move into the cleo
tronic oven.
In the seven minutes be-
fore serving time, she would
press a power switch and
