PAGE SIX •= hg_,\ ICTOR. MEEKINS THE DOUGH WILL FLY THIS YEAR. It looks like Congress will give President Eisenhower a blank check to turn the long green loose across the ocean this year. It is claimed we have to put out the dough to keep friends among the Arabs and various polyglot hordes and tribes in many lands. It used to be we made friends by good deeds, but now we make friends by throwing away the purse strings until the purse is empty. We are going to see money pour ed about in lands across the ocean, and while it is flowing, business in many quarters will be stimulated, and jobs created for many of our people who wish to go far away to work. We folks who have to re main here at home will find no greater income, maybe less, we may have less of everything, for the cost of living will increase. We will find gas prices going up to us, because we are sending gas across the ocean to aid folks who threw theirs away. During this year we may expect to see Uncle Sam be Santa Claus to Europe and Asia in the biggest way in all the epoch of the “give away.” We’ll have to do some spending at home, and this will be for defense purposes, for nothing catches the fancy like the prospect of more jobs in uniforms. It looks like 40 billions for defense this time. We are going to feed half of Hungary, and they’ll all be on the voting books next year, ready to do their bit for the party which brought them over where they’ve never had it so good. We will put billions in the Suez canal to make it bigger for Egypt to take over, and to pacify Egypt because France and England to>-e it up. We will also have to build those dark-skinned chiselers some water power projects to keep them from accepting financial aid from the Reds. We are going to give much to the Indians, the Arabs, and the Jews in particular. And the only folks who will get much consider ation here at home will be the pressure groups demanding the world with a fence around it for the Negro agitators in the god awful cities in Yankeeland where neither character nor conscience are words found in political lexi cons. In about ten years, we have shelled out 60 billion dollars in hand outs to those with their hands always out overseas. We will prob ably keep on in rapidly increasing the annual proportion of giving. There is no way the average fel low can tot it up. We give ’em ships, we give em grain, we finance the World Bank in which all get their hands, and we doubt the pro verbial Philadelphia lawyer could figure it out. So don’t look for tax cuts, and don’t look for reduced cost of liv ing. We are going to find the trend of this administration to encour age a great outlay of money with continuing squeezing of the fellow who has to earn a living. You will find more benefits given to service people, and their lot will be one of greater ease than that of the ordi nary working guy. You’ll find Gov ernment offices jammed with .in creasing numbers of workers in each other’s way, and a tendency to give them fewer working hours, and many encouragements for de crease in their volume of produc tion. So look out for building and giv ing away a bigger and better Suez canal for the Egyptians; look out for big handouts to Britain, West Europe, North Africa, maybe to Russia and possibly to Red China if they promise to be our friends in no other way. Look out for lay offs to make room for such im ported refugees as may want to work, or think they want some in come. We aren’t going to find our own country all sweetness and light un der this administration, despite what they told us last fall when they claimed they had created peace and prosperity for all. We predict that it won’t be so sweet for the working man, and that those who carrry the burden are going to have to be on their toes a little more in 1957. The working man can’t slow up; the stuff will be going past, but he’ll have to be swift to get it. DAVID COX, JR. SURVEYOR N. C. REGISTERED February 12, 1926 No. 204 Telephone 2751 HERTFORD, N.

I|hl||l| *■* ■** vjiPl Bountiful ’57 Food Supplies Banish Bare Cupboard Fear •y Nancy Carter Beef, potatoes and cabbage are three of the foods topping the plentiful foods list in 1957. To combine these three into a taste tempting dinner is wise and thrifty buymanship. Our suggestion is this meal of potatoburgers served with cheese sauce and cooked cabbage wedges. Add a fruit salad, hot rolls and custard and you end up with a family meal that’s good eating and nutritious. Prospects for our nation’s food supply look very good. The outlook for meat is continued large with supplies almost meeting the record volume of 1956. Supplies of eggs, 'broilers and turkeys are likely to exceed the records established in 1956. Milk production is expected to increase so there will be plenty of it to drink and be made into dairy products. With good weather, crops of most fruit items will increase. The acreage planted in vegetables for fresh markets in 1957 is expected to exceed all previous records. You can expect more potatoes, ~nions, sweet potatoes and Western lettuce. Supplies of both canned and frozen fruits and vegetables will be materially larger. Look for increases in juices, corn, peaches, tomatoes, snap beans and green peas. Certainly no one in Ameri ca will need worry about a bare cupboard in 1957. Here’s my suggestion to start the new year in a thrifty manner. If you’d like more money saving recipes write to me: Nancy Carter, P. O. Box 4358, Atlanta, Ga. POTATOBURGERS 1 pound quality controlled cup chopped green pepper ground beef 1H teaspoons salt 2 cups shredded raw potatoes 14 teaspoon black pepper 14 cup coarsely grated onion , Combine all ingredients; mix well. Shape into 8 patties. Pad fry in lightly greased skillet about 7 minutes on each side, or oven broil about 15 min utes turning once. Makes 8 servings.
