Deutei Lower Taxes Cameron Morrison, former governer and senator, expounded on a pleasant theme over the weekend, when he is sued a call for the state legislators, come January, to reduce taxes by 50 percent. Governor Morrison's logic was good. He said it was not right to continue to collect surpluses when the state is out-ofdebt, and he added that there is no us? trying to make all the improvements in one year, one biennium, or one decade. Of course. Mr. Morrison's advice will more than likely go unheeded, for it is seldom that one sees or hears of a situation as it is in Georgetown, Ala. Thia community is levying a very small tax rate this year, and the income from this levy is to be used for the construction of a school building. That is all. Operational expenses will come out of previous surpluses. It is a fact,, however, that .'governments seldom get around to cutting taxes. The federal government did, it is true. But, with a $252 billion debt hanging around, this was not necessarily the wise business course, and at the rate em ployees are being added to Uncle Sam's ; ayroll it- is quite likely the federal government will go into the.red for the cur rent iisc.J yo:u\ Then, with olections'over. the ..people will witness another h r.o. But Xorlit Caroihia is in hotter condition. A sin.-hrg fund has he"" s"' vv to "Mroiriato the. state debt as the bonds come due, and more money has been coming in than was appropriated. It is a foregone conclusion that the next legislature will do something for the teachers by way of increased pay. and this is a justifiable expense. But the legislature could, if it would, do something about lowering taxes, either by dropping the rate on the income tax, or by cutting the sales tax rate. Governor Morrison will not get his 50 percent paring, maybe not any cut at all. But if a group of legislators would heed his advice and spark a tax-cutting drive, they would live lnno in tVio Vtoartc anH minHo r?f AV * I ?-y III VIIV UVUI VO Ull\?

The high school football team opens its season here Friday night, and there will quite likely be a big crowd of fans on hand to see the new edition of the Mountaineer football team.

A best bow to Aubrey Mauney, who has been elected member-at-large on the National Council of the Boy > Scouts of America. This high honor resulted from the constant, consistent interest Mr Mauney has evidenced in the program of the Boy Scouts oil local, council and national level over the past several years. 10 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK At a special meeting of the Town Council held Monday night by unan imous vote Councilman W.

( , Jcrycee Project The Jaycees of Cleveland County have agreed among themselves to accomplish a sizeable task, for it has no>'r>" been too easy to raise at the drop of a hat. TU? l * ? J me uajtws, nuwcver, inienn to raise a minimum of that amount for a worthy and worthwhile project, the buying of a mobile X-Ray unit to be used in the effort to eliminate tuberculosis. There are many arguments in favor of a liberal donation to this project, but the Jaycees ' aren't even calling it "donation." They prefer the word "investment" and they are a' gain correct. In seeking a minimum of $1.00 per employee ; from industrial and commercial firms, they can point out that five cents per year (the e. quipment will last 20 years or ' longer) per employee is mighty cheap protection. In addition to tuberculosis, the XRay machine will also be valuable in discovering other types of chest ailments and some ' heart ailments. Biggest evidence for the ' need of such a machine, which j would provide examinations for all citizens on a yearly basis or , oftener is contained in the following figures on cases of tuberculosis reported in Cleveland county during the past three years: In l^l.o a total 'o? cases t . was reported; In .1016 a total of 00 cases was reoorted. In 1017 a total of 10 cases was reported. It will be noted that in 1946 he U. S. Public Health Service s?nt a mobile unit to Cleveland County and that a large per; centage of the population received examinations. In the year immediately preceding and in the year immediately following, the number of cases was few. The figures indicate that more would have been detected, if a mass survey could have been conducted. Every doctor ascribes to the maxim: "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." It is even more true with tuberculosis, curable only if found in the early stages. The Jaycee project follows this theory. Citizens supporting this project will be making a good investment, both personally and for their business. It's Fair time. Number 4 township citizens will be highly interested in the Bethware Community Fair which open; ed on the Bethware school grounds Thursday, for it will be a pretty good indication of how Number 4 township entries will fare in the bigger CleveI land County fair next week; The basic principle of fairs is to stimulate better agricultural production, and while this phase is frequently covered up by the glare and fanfare of the midway, Fairs still play their i part in increasing the quantity and quality of agricultural production.

Avoid overdosage.) Organs Since just about everybody is completely aware that all I've ever been abie to do concerning an organ is listen to one, they'll pro' bably wonder why the medicine man moves into a subject of this kind. However, they will also rei member the old saying, "Fools walk in where angels fear to tread," and put it down to that. <. " o * The word "organ" is another ' with many different connotations, and more proof of the reason foreigners have trouble learning to speak the English language. . . -? In the musical division alone there are pipe organs. Hammond organs, and mouth organs, among - others. The mouth organ, of course. is a harmonica according to Dr. ! Webster, who doesn't list the mou j tb organ made famous by Comedl} an Bob Burns. This one is the j;.</s harp, or juice harp. Just vhich spelling is correct I'm not ! sure, but there is plenty of juice involved. oThen there are other kinds of organs, including those of the body, but my medical training doesn't allow a discussion of those. f { The kind or organs 1 meant to talk about in this piece today is the house organ brand. - -OThis kind of organ is the trade paper published by large concerns which are designed to sell everything from gasoline to aluminum through the medium of entertainment. Ma^y arms pay rather large sums to their house organ editpis, and additional large sums for the publication of them. They are mailed direct to customers and prospective customers and are considered excellent salesmen. -oI I say considered, advisedly, because two of the best ones which comes to this office I read quite avidly. Yet we use neither of the products. I will admit, however, that 1 hold a soft spot in the heart fAV tha Iuta *\VA/li?A4a {ntrnlttAfl f?n#1 . aw* ?" v j/?vuuy ?o sas Tvt?tu< wmu it may be that at some future date I will be able to help out with the cost of publication. -oIncidentally, readers of this piece should be thankful for these house organs too. As everybody knows, there are times when the eld cranium crannies go just piumb dry like a well does, and the witty remarks and comments in the house organs come in mighty handy. o* Here are a few from this month's GilcTaiter, published by the manufacturers of Gilbert papers: "It's a pretty good sign that the honeymoon is over when the bride starts complainin' about that noise hubby makes getting breakfast." One might add, how ttuel i "One way to have your name go down in history Is to put it on the list for a new car." "There are a lot of boys of 18 who Just can't believe that tome day they'll be as dumb as their fathers." > " -?It's witty truisms like tills that build good will and a fond feeling for the product being mar* keted. -oIt strikes me that most manufacturers would do well to personalise their products through the regular distribution of a good house organ. Of course, it would hare to be.good, for otherwise it would be deposited in the nearest waste basket. -ONor are good bouse organs limited to large firms. Many smaller ones use them too. Some take the form of chatty, friendly letters mailed out once a month. But one prime requisite of a good one seems to be regularity. Those pubI' iished "occasionally" don't seem to be able to establish the necesj sary continuity. Ah. it appears the space limitations have been virtually filled, which means this organ has ground enough for one day . . . J. H.
