For MoIodjusted Girl

AT the age of 8, Charlene
was declared incorrlgible.
A social worker called her
mother 1.-THE most inadequate
mother you can imagine"
For eight years Charlene had
run wild. She rarely was clean.
She rarely had a regular meal.
She stayed home from school
about as often as she liked.
Charlene Not Wanted
Then her mother decided she
could no longer keep all six
Of her children. She put three
up for adoption.
No one wanted the incor-
rigible Charlene.
Now she is 10, and lives In
a foster home. She stays with
a widow In the country. She
Is clean. we'll fed and has
caught UP with her school
work.
She is described as a tom-boy
now.
Has No Friend
But she has no friends near
where she lives. II this sum-
mer Is anything like the last.
she viii hardly ever see an

William A. Roberts, the or
ganization's president. called
for establishment Of a depart
Holmes County herald., 1963-02-21

Next July 9, with a bit more than half
the year gone, the corporations of this
country = the myriad enterprises which
provide us with the great bulk of our
goods and services, as we'll as most of our
employment of people = will start work
ing for their wner
What, one may ask, will they be doing
for the six = months = plus preceding
that date?
The answer is provided by a cursory
glance at a federal income tax form.
The profits tax on any corporation OF
any size is a neat 81 percent. And this
does not include the swarm of other tax
es a corporation is burdened with =
state income taxes, property taxes, ex-
else and sales taxes, license taxes, trans
action x and even, in some instances,
municipal income taxes.
Columnist Henry ]. Taylor writes:
"Mussolini's corporate state took 40 per-
cent of any profits. Hitler took A per-
cent. Both these exploiters were pikers

mo Compromise"

1t would, to begin with, directly and
deeply inject a government bureaucracy
into medical practice and the allied arts
and the sad fruits of that can be seen,
in historical perspective, in Britain and
elsewhere. 1t would thus open the door
to generalized socialized medicine : If
one group of citizens, chosen by age
alone, regardless of need Or desire, is to
be given government paid medical ser
vices WHY not other and all groups?
Then. on the material level, the cost.
would be astronomical at a time when we
are talking about lower taxes and great
er spending in the same breath.
The proper approach to meeting the
health needs of those who are unable to
finance it for themselves is found in the
existing Kerr-Nlills law, which provides
federal financial aid to local agencies
and stresses the importance of local re-
s~ponsibility, administration, and de-
cision. If this law has proven inadequate,
let it be ~broadencd. But le1 the principle
remain : and let American medicine,
which is the best in the world, remain
free.
Holmes County herald., 1963-02-21
We've Crossed The Line

compared to Washington's 81 percent
bite
Surely one definition of socialism IS
the line beyond which a government
gets more than the owners. We've cross
ed that line, even excluding state, coun-
ty and community taxes on corporations.
In this sense, we're not going SOCIALIST.
We've gone. Thus taxpayers are people
who don't need a Civil Service eXamlna-
ton to work for the Government"
This is the price we pay for two enor-
mouslv different things. One is war; hot
and cold : past, present, and to come.
The other is a Welfare State. The enor-
nous tax for war, it seems, must con-
tinue to be paid : we have no choice IN
this. But the Welfare State : coddllng
us, attempting to shield US against our
follies and wastes, substituting
political decision for individual respon-
sibility and pride : is something we
simply annot afford.
Holmes County herald., 1963-02-21

There will be mo compromise in the
fight opposing the financing of health
care through the Social Security System
= the proposal generally known as Medi-
care.
That promise is made by DR.. Edward
R. Annis, president-elect of the Ameri-
can Medical Association. Medicare, in
his words, would meet neither the medi-
cal nor the financial needs of the old
people who really need help" The Ad-
ministration : backed bill got nowhere
in last years Congress but, it is clear, it
will be offered again, with the fullest
kind of White House backing and in
fluence behind it.
What needs to be understood is that
the medical professions opposition to
Mediocre is not based on a callous in
difference to the medical = financial pro-
bIemS of the aged or any other group.
Indeed, the attitude is precisely the OPP
posite. Medicine wants TO improve the
standards of medical care for all = regard
less of the financial considerations in
volved. And it is convinced, from facts
of record, that Mediocre is the wrong
answer

open Letter TO
Hon. J. c.. Stennis
Senate Office Bldg.
Washington, D. c..
Dear John:
Enclosed is q clipping from
the Holmes County Herald en-
titled PLANT Trees and Grow
Jobs" 1t should read "Plant
Trees and Eradicate Jobs, De-
stroy Communities, and I'm
poverish Small Land Owners"
We are told that 70 per cent
of the timberland is owned by
farmers and 80 per cent by
corporations. If the present
trend continues for another
decade, the corporations will
hold 70 per cent and the farm
ers 80 per cent. What induce
ment is there to plant trees
when we can't sell pulpwood
or lumber? The pulpwood
dealers will not buy pine pulp
wood; the saw mills in this
area do not want pine timber
unless it is close grain. Not
many of us are content to wait
forty or fifty years for our
grandchildren to harvest this.
BY that time, all buildings may
be constructed of metal.
One can travel east from
Kosciusko highway 10 to the
state line and Alabama high
way 10 to within so miles of
Dothan, a distance of three
hundred miles, and see miles
of pine trees and occasionally
a herd of cattle. No one lives
in these forests. The sawmills
that once flourished, if now
they operate at all, do so only
at a reduced rate = depending
largely on the amount of hard
wood available. John, you re-
call the D. L. Fair Lumber co.
of Louisville, Miss, which was
formerly one Of the largest
producers of pine timber in the
South, has already or soon will
close down it's entire operation.
This and other mills are clos
ing down not because there
isn't any pine timber, but be-
cause of lack of demand for it.
Some of the best row crop
farms in Attala County were
set out in pine trees five years
ago. The government paid the
landlord to set these trees out
and pays them $11.00 an acre
for ten years while the trees
grow. The people who lived
on these farms were forced to
move. The community suffer-
ed, the ginner, merchant, oil
dealer, automobile, implement
dealer, and many others.
Senator, planting these trees
has not grown jobs. If jobs
are growing on the vast tracts
of timber between here and
Dothan, Ala, they are not
visible.
It is true pine trees are es-
sential for water sheds; they
are fine for fuel, making fence
posts and for farm lumber.
They are not paying dividends
as an investment. It is also
true some soils are suitable
only for timber - perhaps
pine timber. But, some OF the
land set out in pines could be
profitably cultivated. Much OF
it would make fine grassland.
The owners would derive some
revenue from it every year.
Families could live off the in
come, thereby helping the local
community and town to pros
per. On the other hand, pine
trees produce "Ghost Towns"

Louis F. Gregory

Annuity Fund
To Offered
ByPrudentiaI

NEWARK, N. j., (AP).-
Prudential Insurance Co. an
nounced a plan today which
they said would enable the COM
pany to sell variable annuitieS,
though only on a group basis to
the Self-employed.
The Securities and Exchange
C o m m is sion has blocked
Prudential plans previously to
sell variable annuities to the
general public.
Prudential said its attorney,
Richard ]. Congleton, would file
a registration statement with
the SEC in Washington today
containing the group variable
retirement annuity contract in
volved.
The company estimates that
some 8 to S million persons,
such as doctors, lawyers and
their employees, would be eligible
for the program.
Prudential President Orville
E. Beal said the breakthrough
was achieved by linking the
variable annuity concept to leg
iSlation passed in 1862 that pro-
vides to the self-employed some
of the tax deduction benefits in
retirement plans previously
available only to corporations.
The new contract calls for
contributions by participants to
be deposited in a separate in
vestment fund. Investments will
be made in a diversified port
folio of common stocks, thereby
geared to the cost Of living and
to the growth of the economy.
When contributors reach re-
tirement age, they will be paid
benefits for life unless they
elect some other plan Of pay
ment, similar to those available
in a matured life insurance
policy.
Payments will vary monthly
in accordance with investment
results Of the fund.

Lock Box Problem
Consider the Post Office lock
box. Post Office lock boxes 60
back more years than most Of US
can remember. In the very ear
ly days the patron had to pro-
vide his own. Now they are
made Of cast bronze. They
come in six sizes, ranging In
cost from about IS to s12O.
Essentially, as every stamp
ticker knows, the lock box has a
rectangular metal door on hing
eS, usually with a combination
lock. They are made by a half
dozen manufacturers from the
same basic design.
How to redeSign it so that it
can be produced better and
more cheaply has kept Harold
p. Weinberg, senior materials
engineer, and his aides busy at
Value Engineering Co. for the
last six months.
There has been tremendous
improvement in alloys since the
original cast bronze lock box
doors were invented, so the en-
gineers have been experiment
ing with new materials. At pres
ent the choice has narrowed to
three methods, zinc diecasting,
aluminium diecaSting and STAIN
less steel stamping.

five years old in January but
