GEORGETOWN
Mrs. Constance Brown
Phone: Georgetown 1880


The old and the new were fea-
tured in true New Years tradition
as the Georgetown Kiwanis Club
closed the year 1859 at a dinner at
the Heritagle Restaurant last Tues
day evening.
The new officers, headed by
James Proudfoot as president, were
installed by John Rogers, Milford,
lieutenant governor of the 18th di-
vision of the Kiwanis Capital Dis
trict, and the old officers made their
reports for the year, headed by Ed
ward Marzoa, retiring president.
Mr.. Marzoa named as the leading
money makers for their projects
during the year as the chicken and
dumpling supper held in February;
the spring card party and the an
nual beauty contest in June.
1t was reported that the annual
collection of toys for the needy and
their distribution had proved an
outstanding success this year.
Mr.. Marzoa presided for the last
time. Group singing was led by
Colonel Ralph s. Baker and the in
vocation was by the Rev. Elmer
Shield.
Other officers installed with Mr..
Proudfoot were: Robert Snowden,
vice president; Fred Goggin, trea-
surer; Julius C. Green, secretary,
and Philip Hauck, assistant secre-
tary.
Directors installed were William
James, Brandon Driscoll, Russell
ID. Jones, N. Eugene Campbell, Dali
las Dennis, Charles Greene and
Wallace Kopple.
A ritual so old that its origin is
lost in the mists of Papan antiqu-
ity was revived Saturday night
when the ceremony of "The Burn
ing of the Greens" was carried out.
This was the first time in the
history of Georgetown that there
has been such a service. 1t proved
SO effective that plans are already
being made for an annual event
which may attract visitors.
The Georgetown Jaycees initi-
ated the idea here, headed by Will
liam s. Hitch. president The re-
ligious ceremony was conducted by
the Rev. David B. Milford, rector
of st. Paul's Episcopal Church, him
self a member of the local Jay
Gees.
The Jaycees collected the Christ
mas trees and other greens
throughout the town during the
day, and as night fell, the burn
ing began. Mr.. Milford applied a
torch to the piled-up trees and the
Georgetown Volunteer Fire Com
pany stood by, headed by Fire Chief
Robert Vanaman
There is a regular program pro-
vided for such service, though it
hasn't been used much of late
years. Scripture reading and mu-
sic and comments by the presiding
minister precede the actual burn
ing.
Mr.. Mulford explained that the
burning of the trees symbolizes
how the transient, material joys of
the Christmas season go up in
smoke and prayed that God would
ignite a true fire within the hearts
of those who watched.
The custom was taken over hun
dreds of years ago by the church
in England because the ceremony,
descended from Pagan revelry, had
grown boisterous.
Fire Chief Vanaman said that
the fire department thanked the
Jaycees for the burning since dry
ing Christmas trees have always
been potential cause of fire. In
other years, the trees have been
carted away by the town or just
left around the yards.

Eisenhower Assures Continued Record
 Prosperity, In New Government Thrift

reducing the ' 200-billion-dollar federal debt. His fiscal 1861 bud get, sent to Congress Monday, forecasts a S4,2O0, 0,00O,O00 surplus. Calls For Removal of Interest Ceiling on Federal Bonds
 The President gave only one other legislative proposal equal priority. He called urgently = for the fourth time in two weeks - for removal of the 4A per cent interest ceiling on federal bonds.
 But he repeated most of the 79 legislative requests he sent to Congress in his budget message Monday.
 There was no reference at all to general tax reduction = not even the heavily hedged prospect, voiced in the budget message, that "the next administration and the next Congress" might be able to consider some relief.
 By demonstrating the govern ment's ability and. determination to control its spending, he said, Congress can provide potent help in restraining imitation, promoting sound growth, and strengthen ing confidence in the dollar at home and abroad"
 Eisenhower indicated that, de- spite the painful impact of last falls 116-day steel strike, he will resist any moves in Congress to restrict collective bargaining or regulate private wage and price decisions.

Mystery Deepens On
 Cause of Plane Bombing

WILMINGTON, N. C., R - A new note of mystery was injected today into the January 6 crash of a National Airlines plane in which 34 persons were killed.
 A wallet found on the body of Connecticut Attorney Julian Frank was reported to have con- tained no money. It was said to have yielded only Identification cards and an advertisement for shoes.
 The lack of money was taken in some quarters to mean that Frank had boarded the plane for Miami with no thought of re- turning.
 Senator Mike Monroney, chair man of Senate subcommittee studying the crash, previously had expressed belief that the plane was blown up by a bomb carried by Frank.
 However, airline officials in New York have said that their records showed Frank had booked a return trip on the day after the crash.
 An investigation had centered on Frank because he recently had insured himself for nearly $900,000.

Soviet General
 Denounces Japan U. s. Arms Treaty

MOSCOW, R - The comman- der of Soviet forces in the Far East today denounced the new U. S.-Japanese security pact as a move against the Soviet Union. He warned that because of the treaty, the Kremlin might not honor its promise to return two islands seized from Japan in World War II.
 Colonel General Penkovsky de- clared that in signing the new pact, Japanese Prime Minister Kishi "may reap a whirlwind." He warned that in the event of war, Japan risks 'retaliatory blows of devastating power"
 Writing in Pravda, Penkovsky said he thought the Soviet people would consider the Soviet Union released from its promise to re- turn the tiny islands of Habomai and Shikotan, since "it is clear to everybody they will be used by foreign armed forces"
 The two islands are just off the northeast tip of the Japanese island of Hokkaido and adjoin the Soviet-occupied Kurile Islands. The Soviet Union promised to return Habomai and Shikotan on the signing of a peace treaty with Japan, but there has been no progress toward treaty beyond a joint declaration in late 1856 ending the state of war between Japan and the Soviet Union.

WASHINGTON, R - Presi- dent Eisenhower today assured Congress that Americas rising prosperity can go on breaking records through 1860 land well beyond" if his budget is kept bal anced, the debt reduced, and in- flation curbed.
 In his annual economic report, third and last of the major White House messages each session, Eis- enhower foresaw national output vaulting to nearly 750 billion dol lars year by the end of the 196Os.
 That would be half again as great as the 500-billion-dollar production peak in sight this year. The hazards that threaten this golden goal - imitation and spec ulation, hastening the onset of re- sessions - can be overcome, Els enhower said, by a resolute effort of the government and the public to:
 l. Restore an economy in which price reduction, as well as price increases, are normal an d frequent"
 2. Build a "well-informed and vigilant public opinion" that will resist the attempts of business or labor arbitrarily to establish prices or wages that are incon- sistent with the general welfare" !"
 3. Achieve a sizeable budget surplus and devote it wholly to

U. s. Army Secretary Doubts Soviet Forces Are Being Reduced

WASHINGTON, R - Secretary of the Army Wilber Brucker today questioned the claim of Soviet Premier Khrushchev that Communist military forces are being reduced.
 Brucker told the Senate Armed Services Committee that "175 So- viet line divisions now consist predominantly of armored and mechanized types"
 "Our evidence indicates that, despite Soviet claims, there has been no significant reduction in these or other types of military forces" the Army Secretary said in a long summary of rela- tive army defense forces made available to newsmen. He was a witness in the Senate committee's review of the U. s. defense posi- tion in relation to the new budget.
 Brucker made strong plea for more modern tanks, aircraft, mis- siles, small atomic weapons, guns and other new equipment for the U. s. Army in the next fiscal year.
 In advance of Brucker's testi- mony, Senator Richard Russell D-Ga) said he is mot happy about lack of an adequate airlift" to move U. S. ground forces to places where brush-fire wars may threaten.

House Budget Choppers Plan to Pare Two Billion

WASHINGTON, lR - A cut to two billion dollars or more in new appropriations was the minimum goal of House Appropriations Committee leaders today as they started work. on the 1861 federal budget.
 "We should be able to cut at least two billion dollars" said chairman Clarence Cannon D- Mol in an interview.
 "A couple of billion or more" |" said Representative Taber of New York, senior Republican, con- menting on budget-cutting pros poets.
 Both men are influential in determining the size of new ap- propriations bills which finance the federal budget. Both singled out civilian personnel as an area for sharp cuts and large money savings.

Two Plane Crashes Take 60 Lives
 In Hills of Turkey

ANKARA, Turkey, lR = Two planes crashed in Turkey few hours apart yesterday and all the 58 persons aboard them were be- lieved killed.
 Wreckage of a U. s. Navy plane that disappeared with 16 aboard on a daylight flight from Rota, Spain, to the U. s. air base at Adana, Turkey, was sighted to- day on Karanfil Mountain, IS miles northwest of Adana. Tur- kish. sources said there was no sign of life.
 All A persons aboard were lost in the crash of Scandinavian Airlines jet last night on hill near Ankara, 250 miles to the northwest.
 The Ankara disaster was the third crash of commercial air. liner since 1860 began less than three weeks ago. It brought the death toll for commercial avia- ton this year to 126.

 The SAS plane was a French built twin-jet Caravelle. It was the first commercial crash for the Caravelle since Air France and the Scandinavian line began using it a year ago.
 The plane encountered heavy rain and wind as it approached Ankara, but airport experts said the crash twas caused by tech nical reasons = not the weather" '"
