Branch Garrett
National Slated
In Accident Area
New Facility Scheduled For
Opening In June

Plans for a new branch bank
ing facility at Accident were an
nounced this week by the Garrett
National Bank in Oakland.
TIE new facility scheduled for
a June opening will offer residents
of the Accident section of the coun-
ty all of the services now available
at the home bank in Oakland
A site for the new operation has
been secured from Mr.. and Mrs
Earl Ault. adjacent to the poStof-
flee in Accident. Construction was
scheduled to begin this week on
a structure that was termed mod
ern yet in keeping with the sur
roundings of the community
The interior is to be more or
less a replica of the Oakland hank
and the exterior of native stone
and glass. Features will include a
drive-under roof which will allow
patrons to park and bank out of
the weather, and air conditioning
In selecting Accident as a site
for the new banking operation of
ficers of the Garrett National said
they felt they would be serving
the needs of one of the richest
agricultural areas of the county,
and that the new branch would
stimulate additional business de-
velopment for that community.
A bank spokesman said a study
showed that deposits from this
area had increased over 100 per-
cent in the two year period just
ended.

States and cities are push

Altogether, taxes are on the

Senator Herman Talmadge
of Georgia, Democrat, has
uttered the prize epigram Of
the year. He says he is OPP
posed to reducing taxes with
borrowed money"
The idea of cutting ex-
penses to an amount that
would equal the money col
lected in taxes is not ac-
cepted by the administration
as a good policy. Deficits are
considered a more "sophisti-
Gated" approach.
How many people under
stand what the words deficit

individual spends more money
than he takes in, he can't
go to the bank and say: I'm
sorry 1 can't pay anything on
my loan, but I've incurred
another deficit-just let me
borrow some more money,
and I'll owe you that much
more" But evidently the
Government expects the
American people to be gen.

The assumption is, Of
course, that the day of
reckoning is in the far dis

Command to Love Not Always Kept,
AS Truth of Christmas Reminds Us
ERIC SEVAREID

To be a sensitive person is
only to have the measure of
both joys and sorrows in
creased, and it is because
Christmas sensitizes us all
that adults fear its coming
even as they welcome it.
The glow Of the soft lights,
the sound Of child voices in
song, piercing us with their
almost uncomfortable purity
these things remind us that
our first and only command
was to love and we have not
truly obeyed; that men were
so commanded not to i'm
prove them, but to save them
from themselves, and we
have not really understood
Christmas obliges us to
regard our work, what we
have made Of our lives, our
country and our world. OF
course, we say, Christmas
is really for the children"
Suffer the little children to
take this burden from us.
In our middle and older
years we look backward to
Christmases we have known
more than we look forward
to those that will come. Some
were joyous for me, as for
you; some were the purest
pain and some both pain and
joy.
There was a Christmas in
my early teens when l first
had my own earned money to
spend and spent it on ex-
pensive gifts for all in my
family, so poor in those days.
To the stalwart older brother
I gave a leather-bound book
and a silver-plated cigarette
lighter. When he handed me
my gift-a necktie, as I re-
member-his face wore a
stricken look, and in the

"Brainwashing" is a form
Of persuasion by persistence.
The theory is that if you say
something again and again it
will make a lasting impress
sion. There has been so much
talk by President Kennedy
and the administration about
a coming cut in income tax
rates that the public has
been led to believe the in
dividual citizen will soon
have considerably more
money to spend, and hence
business will boom.
But the realistic truth is
that the new year opens with
an increase instead of a cut
in taxes.
The increase in Social Sc
curity taxes alone, affecting
so million taxpayers, will
mean an additional So bill
lion deducted from payrolls
and a big cut in take home"
pay. Also. State and local
taxes go up about SO billion
In the new year.
These new taxes will re-
move about SIS billion from
the stream Of personal and
business incomes. That's a
sizable amount, but it isn't
all by any means.
For. when a Federal in
come tax cut is finally
enacted, the change in rates
downward will be accompa-
MED by a rise in the amount
of taxes to be collected
through the so-called regula-
tory power of the Treasury.
Stiffening the regulations
has the same effect as in
creasing the tax rates.
Congress has never played
fair with the citizen on this.
Broad powers are delegated to
the Treasury to impose taxes
in certain fields by means of
Interpretation. Thus, a de-
duction is allowed by law for
"all the ordinary and nee
essary expenses" incurred in
carrying on any trade or
business" but the Treasury
not Congress defines what
an ordinary or necessary ex-
pense is. Many a taxpayer,
rather than go to court to
dispute the issue, pays the
tax imposed.

protecting the in-group from

At least I have never observed
a government committing an
act of love directed at another
government. New books, like
african Genesis" tell us
that in all of this pure animal
instincts are at work, inher-
tied from the primates in the

we come not from a fallen

came upon years ago, sup
posedly written by one Era
Giovanni in 1913, but which,
someone has informed me,
were actually written in this
century. No matter-I do not
know how anything could be
added or Subtracted from
these words:
There is nothing I can
give you which you have not,
but there is much that, while
/ cannot give, you can take.
No heaven can come to us
unless our hearts find rest
in it today. Take heaven.
No peace lies in the future
which is not hidden in this
present instant. Take peace.
The gloom Of the world is
but a shadow; behind it, yet
within reach, is joy. Take joy.

prayer that for you, now and

Since spring Of 1888 the
coming of January has
brought inevitably to mind a
statue Of Janus in a busy
street of Vienna. 1t seems a
long time ago, longer per-
haps because the names
which then agitated us most
and held the headlines are,
for the most part, forgotten.
Only a few have any relev-
ance for our time.
Certainly. for example,
there are few who remember
DR.. Engelbert Dollfuss, Chan
cellor of Austria. This, in a
way, Is a pity. He was in
many respects an admirable
little man with considerable
courage and vision. The cyni-
cal said of him that he had
two faults-he was born a
peasant and he believed in
God. But as Chancellor of
Austria when Adolph Hitler
became Chancellor of Ger
many, the 5-foot-tall Aus
trian stood against him with
a valor unusual for the times.
Mussolini, whom a just des-
tiny caused to be executed
and hung like a pig from a
butcher-stall hook, later be-
trayed him. Hitler had DOLL
fuss murdered. After that,
the Austrians said, the world
would never again know a
life Of gemuetlichkeit.
The name of DR.. Kurt Won
Schuschnigg, who succeeded
Dollfuss, is not often heard
today. Yet, in March and
April of 1888, after the
Hitler-invoked anschluss, he
was a prisoner In Vienna
even though he was the legal
Chancellor of Austria. His
name was almost daily In
the headlines.
We would sit in the coffee
houses and talk about the
future Of the world and
whether Hitler would dare to
do more than absorb and di-
gest Austria. Mussolini was

Europe, when Nine. Schu-

us his tears. I think perhaps
he knew in his heart what
was coming to the world.

seeing all the years of heavy
work, his few possessions, his

Social Security, State and Local Rises
Precede Any Cuts in Federal Levies

through enacting the coming
tax reform" bill, large num-
bers of citizens will find
themselves paying higher
taxes than before, even after
the so-called tax cut" has
been put into law. Many pre-
vious deductions will be swept
aside.
Already there is talk of
making the rate reductions
primarily in the lower-income
brackets. But this implies
that those in the middle and
higher brackets will pay ap-
proXimately the same rates
as before. This fallacy will
be fully understood when the
new tax reform" bill be-
comes law. Much Of the reve-
nue. that will be lost by the
downward change in rates
will be recouped through such
devices as closing alleged
'loopholes." This, however, is
only a means of defending a
raid on previously estab-
lished rules that have for
years seemed equitable. The
argument will be that the
Treasury needs the money.
In such a state of confu-
sion and uncertainty, how
can any constructive plan
ming be carried on either in
business or by individuals?
Labor unions are getting
ready to ask for higher wages
to offset the drop in take
home" pay due to the in
crease in Social Security
taxes. A citizen who makes
$4,000 a year and has a wife
and two children pays only
$65 in Federal income taxes.
But, beginning with this
month, he will pay Social Sc
curity taxes that will total
Sl08.75 for the year. A farmer
or shopkeeper who has a wife
and three children and earns
$4,000 a year will be paying,
from January, 1868, on, about
as much in Social Security
tax as in Federal income
taxes.
And the end isn't in sight.
The administration IS press
ing for passage of the "medi-
care" program, which will
raise the Social Security
taxes some more. The Social
