Grange Joining In
Fight Against Litter
faster Says Group In
vested In Keeping
America Beautiful
Herschel D. Newsom, Master of the
National Grange, has officially align
ed his nationwide farm group with
the new anti-litter campaign of Keep
America Beautiful.
In a letter to New York headquar
ters of the new anti-litter organiza
tion, Mr. Newsom formally accepted
membership for the Grange on the
KAB Advisory Council. He said the
Grange has “a real interest” in Keep
America Beautiful because it “intends
to do something about litter.”
Mr. Newsom recalled that the
Grange has always been concerned
with keeping America beautiful in the
broadest sense, because its members
are interested in their country and
want to see it become “an even-better
land in which to live.” Moreover, as
rural people, they are personally in
volved in the litter problem because
they are so close to it, Mr. Newsom
said.
“Not only does highway litter often
wind up on their own property, where
it is unsightly and unhealthy, but
some forms of litter cause damage to
farm animals and machinery,” he de
clared.
National Grange representation on
the KAB Advisory Council brings
farm men and women in State Grang
es in thirty-seven states into the nat
ional fight against litter.
These call for a long-range educa
tional campaign in every state in an
attempt to change the habits of peo
ple who litter. Its target is the pre
vention and eventual elimination of
litter from America’s highways, parks,
beaches and other public areas.
No Comment I
By Walter Chamblin, Jr.
One of the major actiivties of the
Eisenhower Administration at the
jjresent time is fighting the battle of
ttc fiscal bulge.
Now that the national debt ceiling
has been raised temporarily by $6 bil
lion ... to a total of $2Bl billion . . .
Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey
and his assistants can breathe easier.
But Administration officials are
looking ahead. Congress will be re
luctant to grant another increase at
the next session . . . unless a very per-j
suasive case is made. ,
And the officials realize that a per-j
suasive case cannot be made unless
vigorous efforts are made to cut gov
ernment spending in every way pos
sible.
There is another angle, too. . . a
very important angle to people who
are sent to Washington by the voters.
This is the fact that any substantial
tax cuts depend upon reduced spend
ing.
Mr. Eisenhower and Mr. Humphrey
are well aware of this. In fact, some
weeks ago Mr. Eisenhower issued in
structions to cut down on spending in
every wav feasible, The Administra
tion is dedicated to “thorough going
economy and efficiency”—to use Mr.
Eisenhower’s language.
Economy was the motif of the com
promise agreement for a temporary
increase in the national debt —rather
than a permanent increase. Back of
the agreement was the conviction of
many members of Congress that a
permanent increase would have tend
ed to stimulate further spending,
whereas a temporary increase would
tend to keep bureaucrats conscious of
economy in government.
The serious fiscal situation which
has developed over the last 21 years
was explained this way by Senator
Byrd (H.-Vn.V, a leading advocate of
economy:
“The 27.' billion federal debt which
we now owe is equivalent to the full
value of all the land, all the build- j
ings, all the mines, all the machinery,
all the livestock —everything of tan-j
gible value—in the United States. We
are mortgaged to the hilt.
“It should be considered judgment
of everyone of us that the federal
debt should not be increased except
for extreme national emergency, and
the size of the, federal debt is the
greatest national emergency confront
ing Us at the moment.”
Economy-minded members of Con
gress recall that the government has
operated in the red during 21 of the
last 24 years. The exceptions were in

1 WOMEN AND WHEELS
i It’s Not Your Sex,
It s Your Personality
By Mary Lou Chapman
You can make statistics prove almost anything. You could find some
to “prove” that women are better drivers than men, or you could prove
exactly the opposite.
'■ But we don’t want to heat up the old war between the sexes. We
don’t feel that being male or female affects the way you drive, really.
We know some good ones and some -
1 bad ones of each kind.
It’s not your sex, it’s your per
sonality that counts. It’s the kind
of individual
you really are
that affects your
driving.
Some ladies we
know just don’t
happen to be
ladies on the
highway. They
honk at pedes
trians and “hog”
the road, show-
Miss Chapman
ing their unladylike nature. And
some gentlemen, who can be ever
so charming and pleasant at a
dance, drive like someone is step
ping on their toes when they get
behind the wheel of a car. They
break speed limits, and generally
behave as if they were at a jam
session. Invariably, it’s only a traf
fic jam session.
THE NAME’S THfc SAME
There is something about the
completely anonymous situation
of driving alone that makes these
ladies and gentlemen think they
can get away with murder—and
sometimes, that’s just what it is.
Because the people in the other
cars don’t know you, it’s apparent
ly all right to break all the rules.
1947 and 1948, when the Republicans
controlled Congress, and in 1951, when
the post-Korean tax increases boosted
revenue faster than it could be spent.
Senator Byrd reluctantly went along
with the temporary increase of $6 bil
lion above the present $275 billion lim
it .. . because he felt it was neces
sary . . . but he served notice that
the authority should not be renewed
next year.
One of Senator Byrd’s most con
vincing arguments for government
economy was a comparison of the
United States’ $275 billion debt with
the debts of European nations to
which “we have been making very
large contributions.” The Senator
said that the total debt of the United
Kingdom. France and ten other na
j tions is sll3 billion. He then added:
I “In other words, the debt of the
| United States is 2 % times as great
'as the combined debts of 12 European
nations, all of which have been re
cipients of our bounty. We are still
contributing in a large measure to
these countries which have smaller
debt on a per capita basis and other
wise than the United States,
In signing the hill for a temporary
increase in the debt limit, Mr. Eisen
hower warned that it “may prove in
adequate.” But he expressed assur-j
ance that the Administration would
“make every possible effort to carry 1
on tile activities of the government in
accordance with this limit.”

THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 9, 1951,
The director of the Psychopathic
Clinic of Detroit Recorder’s Court
maintains a driver behaves in a
manner which reflects his true
personality pattern. His personal
ity does not change. But there is
one significant difference. In his
car he more freedom of oppor
tunity to demonstrate the presence
of unsocial, irresponsible or even
anti-social traits.
BAD DRIVER, BAD GUY
The clinic has found that prob
lem drivers are usually emotion
ally unstable. They generally are
the impulsive and irresponsible
person, the day dreamer, the alco
holic, and the selfish egocentric.
There are also those suffering from
feelings of inferiority, who some
times believe the automobile offers
away to show the world that they
are “as good as anybody else.” This
usually takes the form of speeding
or trying to “outwit” the police.
If, however, a person,—man or
woman is emotionally well-bal
aneed in other phases of his life,
at home, at work, in the commu
nity, he is unlikely to be a chronic
problem child on the highway.

Poor Sitting Posture
Causes Vision Problem
■wmm* a
A poor sitting posture in the class
room may be indicative of more than a
child’s tendency to slouch.
With this month’s return of some
970,000 North Carolina children to
school, Dr. C. Ray Lawrence of Boone,
president of the State Optometric So
ciety, said that “slouchiness in the.
classroom is often the result of a vis- |
ion problem.”
Dr. Lawrence added that recent op-1
tometric research has revealed that
| among the “more significant” symp-'
toms of vision problems noticeable in !
the classroom are (1) poor sitting
posture while reading. (2) tilting head
to one side, and (3) thrusting head
forward.
“A child’s vision habits are develop
ed within the first five years,” he!
said, “and, if they are poorly develop-!
ed, the resulting vision problem is al
most certain to affect his physical
characteristics.” I
