Tawes called his financial
plan for the operation of the
State during fiscal 1868 "a pro-
gram of moderation which at
tempts to balance the require
ments of the people for govern.
mental services with their de-
sire and ability to pay for these
services through taxation"
He told the lawmakers that
at the beginning of his term he
set a goal not to raise taxes for
State administration during the
four years of his term.
"And now as we approach the
end of the term. it is most graft
flying to me to be able to report
that this goal will be attained"
he said.
Regarding tax adjustments
last year, Tawes pointed out
that all the revenues from the
adjustments went to Baltimore
City and the counties to ease
their own tax burdens"
He cited figures showing the
States assistance to its subdi-
visions-S155 million in the new
budget-has increased by 70 per
cent since he took office in 1859.
Departmental requests for
general fund appropriations, he
said, had been screened with
great care" and reduced by
about $39 million.
Tawes noted that more than
so per cent of the general fund
increase of about $40 million is
applied to health, education,
welfare and correction, "areas
In which your State government
ministers to human needs, and
which may be considered as an
investment in human resources"
Although no increase in taxes
was proposed, he said to bal
ance the S273 million general
fund budget 1t is necessary to
use half the SD million revenue
deficiency fund.
In his general program of
legislation, Tawes called for
laws to reapportion the General
Assembly, to establish a State
controlled system for insuring
savings and loan deposits, to re-
form referendum procedures, to
end racial discrimination in
places of public accommodation,
to tighten "blue sky laws and
to safeguard the public from
INSCRIPTIONS selling and invest
ment schemes.
The Governor concluded by
calling his overall program a
Sound and sensible" one. If it
Is adopted, he told the legisla-
tors, I'VE can face our constitu-

Courage and hard work
have, in eight months time,
changed a one-armed Holmes
County Poultryman's econo-
mic status from near destitu-
ton to a net income of appro-
ximately $500 monthly.
He is Bonnie ThWeatt, of
the Horseshoe" community,
on the edge of the Delta, three
miles northwest of Tchula.
ThWeatt, 81, is a client of the
Vocational Rehabilitation divi-
sion, State Department of
Education.
Although his right hand is
amputated below the elbow.
Thweatt, with the aid of a
nephew, cares fof approxi-
mately 5000 chickens, work
ing on an egg percentage ba-
sis with the Greenwood Egg
Production Company.

For the past four months.

During the January freeze,
ThWeatt lost only Is Of his
flock, whereas many a chick
en- farmer had several hund-
red to die.
The Holmes Countian mana
ged to save most Of his flock
by staying up late at night to
keep the ice out of the water
troughs, since fresh water is
essential for the chickens.
He also went over the COM
munity collecting gunny sacks
with which he stuffed the
ventilator strips in the tops
of the three chicken build
ings, to keep the snow out.
Things have not always
been SO rosy. Until Thweatt.
with the help of Vocational
Rehabilitation, began his
chicken farming, he and Mrs.
|Thweatt literally hardly knew
where their next meal was
coming from.

Before the contract could
be completed, however,
ThWeatt had to install certain

And the Tempos Stay On

There is no cheer for occupants of
the Federal tempoS, or for those who
hope for early demise of the shacks, in
the news that the General Services Ad-
ministration is seeking more office space
for the expanding Federal establish
ment. Having outgrown existing Federal
buildings, the Government has decided
to rent a.number of private buildings in
or near Washington
Nor is there much hope for prompt
elimination of the wartime-b born tempos
in the GSA announcement that the fate
of the unsightly structures will depend
on new survey of Federal space needs
as foreseen for the next 10 years. For
all the similar surveys of the past have
given the remaining tempos new lease
on life. 1t begins to looks as though they
will be with us until they collapse from
old age and general decrepitude.

ever, that relatively little has been
spent on efforts to end mankind's cold
miseries, minor though they may seem
to be in comparison with other ailments.
Yet, a" Surgeon General Luther L. Terry
-.a- stressed in announcing the new
"cold war;" the estimated annual loss
to the national economy from the COM
mon cold is more than SO billion. He
said that SO per cent of all illnesses af-
fecting children under Is are colds and
related disabilities. There are more than
20 million colds every year among the
pre-school age group Such statistics are
not to be Sneezed at
Recent virus studies have "im-
plicated" viruSes in about so per cent
of serious respiratory ailments, DR..
Terry said. A special unit of the NH will
concentrate on finding vaccines to COM
bat these viruses and others which may
similarly be suspected of causing colds.
We are sure that this venture will carry
the best wishes and high hopes Of a
suffering public.

Country Boys in the Saddle

The biennial struggle in Virginia'S
General Assembly between the so-called
country boys" and the "city boys"
meaning the rural and urban legiSla-
tors, respectively, has ended as most
observers had predicted-with the
country boys still in the saddle. Not
surprisingly, the several concessions
granted the urban delegations by the
rural groups in both houses did not
materially weaken the latter'S control
of the State Government.
Thus, the reapportionment legisla-
ton which finally emerged from Rich
mond provides only token increase in
Northern Virginias legislative strength.
The case for more equitable allotment
Of legislators for the heavily populated
and Still-groWing areas near Washing
ton was presented so forcefully, how
ever, that the pleas could not be
completely ignored. So one more sena-
tor was allowed Fairfax County and
one more delegate was granted to that
county and to Alexandria. This grudg-
ing concession still leaves the Northern
Virginia representation at only go per
cent of what its population justifies.
AS further blow to the aspirations
of nearby urban areas, the Assembly
declined to permit Fairfax CountyS
citizens to decide whether they should
become residents of city. And Arling-
ton and Fairfax Counties governing
bodies were deprived of the right they
long have had to appoint members of
the zoning appeals boards. This ap-
pointive power was transferred to the
circuit court judges, who are selected
by the Legislature.
On the credit side of the ledger,
the Legislature approved law under
which suspected drunken driver who
refuses to consent to a scientific test
for alcohol may have his license Sus-
pended, adopted withholding plan for
collecting State income taxes Gained at
thousands of tax evaders), voted funds
for much-needed mental hospital in
Northern Virginia and for construction
in Fairfax of the George Mason College
branch of the University of Virginia,
provided for Alexandria's port develop
ment, supported Governor HarriSon'S
industrial development program and
adopted budget which will give more
money to education-including funds for
higher teachers salaries. And a modi-
fled daylight saving plan was approved.
In summation, the 1862 General
Assembly has slipped into history with
out any outstanding mark of distinction.
The question it leaves in the minds of
many citizens is: How long will the
dWindling rural areas of Virginia
manage to hold onto the reinS of legis-
lative power? For the time is sure to
come when, in good conscience, the
Legislature will be compelled to give a
fair representation to all VirginianS.
