We’ll Buy What We Please There are several socio-economists around this country who seem to think they know what the American people should and should not purchase. They feel very strongly that too many of us tend to “waste” our money on things that are not really needed, while Washington cries for more dollars to right the wrongs of the world. These same gentlemen have a very simple answer to our wastefulness. They would be glad to accept the responsibility of outlining a program whereby the tajxes of the individual are considerably increased, and then the government could use the money to much better advantage and much wiser than the individual. It is, first of all, recommended that these allwise professors stay behind their desks. For if they ventured out into the real world of Adams county, the chortles and guffaws that met their proposal might cause a considerable dent in their self-confi-dence. , No one will deny that there are areas where the government can and must handle our money. There is a necessity for a certain amount of wisely handled foreign aid. There is a also a necessity for national defense, and there are public works that profit the whole country over the long haul. i But it would take a very idealistic or very sheltered economist to be so naive as to believe that government is more practical, less wasteful, than either industry or individuals. In fact, it has become an accepted part of Amerv icana that taxes are as high as they are because of government waste and duplication. We are told that a certain amount is necessary, and perhaps so. But it is also known that the more money government has to handle, the more it will waste. The proportion may not go up, but if it is going to be wasted, the people who make it might as well “waste” it on themselves. As far as most of us “provincials” here in Adams county are concerned, the free enterprise system has been pretty good for lo these many years. There are changes needed as the times change, but most of us do not believe that things have changed to the point where we need someone else to tell us how to spend our moneys In fact, with a mortgage and a family and a spouse, most wage earners feel they already have too many people telling them how to spend their money. There is nothing static about America. The Constitution, the economy, the general government policies are not necessarily permanent. But anyone reaching farther into the pockets of America might get quite a shock, static or no.

Debt Is Increased Under Eisenhower

By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD—This is a story of Sam Jones, American. Sam's father was a small business man. Sam Sr, He became over-extended in the years during! which the United States was involved in World War I. When Sam Sr. died in 1919 he left Sam Jr. a legacy of debt, $25,485. Sam Jr. knew the copy book maxims about thrift and industry. The son worked hard, used his head, saved his money and made some progress in paying off the old man’s creditors. Ten years after Sam Sr. died, the son struck a balance. The debt was down to $16,931. One year later the debt had been reduced to $16,185.- Sam Jr. figured he was doing all right. But the great depression came. along just then, and the debt of j Sam Jr. began to grow instead of| to diminish. The younger man’s • credit was. good. He had a good) business. Sam Jr. had no difficulty in raising money. By 1940, Sam was in hock for ; $42,968. Things were not going | right for him. By 1945, Sam’s I debt was $258,682 and the bankers were beginning to wonder whether Sam Jr. was good for it. Sam’s friends, but more especially the bankers, were becoming seriously agitated by now. Couldn’t Curtail Debt Sam Jr.’s business had grown along with his debt and his gross! take was many times larger than it had been when Sam Sr, died. What troubled the bankers was the fact that from 1930 through 1946, Sam Jr. had been unable to curtail his debt by so much as a dime. Sam's friends and: the bankers began to doubt That Sam-'was any good asmarijusinessman; to wonder whether they should foreclose on Sam, put in new management and, maybe, get some profit and debt curtailment out of the big annual gross proceeds of Sam's business. Some of Sam’s friends didn’t like the idea and neither did Sam. Many of Sam’s friends, however, had invested—in—Samis—business. They agreed with the bankers that what the business needed was new and more efficient management, less spending and more profit. Those friends of Sam and the -bankers took over Sam's business after a proxy battle in 1952. They put a. new manager in charge, a Midwesterner named Eisenhower. He was pledged to reduce expenses without damaging the business or the product, to curtail the debt and to show a profit, He was to have eight years to get the job done. Debt Increased Yearly This new manager took over in 1953 with the company in debt $266,071. For three years thereafter. the debt increased annually. Finally, in 1957 the debt figure was reduced somewhat but it remained about $4,000 greater than when the new manager took over. There was no doubt in anyone’s mind that the new mart had tried. Despite his commitment to economy, spending increased under Manager Eisenhower, far exceeding the level of spending which, he had agreed on,. taking office, should be the limit. The new manager’s eighty, years Will end this week on Jan. 20. The debt of $266,071 that he assumed on taking over has grown to more than $280,000 (X). Another new manager will take over on Jan.- 20. His views on spending are not very well defined. (X)—Read all figures as billions

No Drastic Changes In Family Quarters By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor NEW YORK (UPI) — The next first lady plans no drastic changes in the furnishings of the family living quarters of the White House. Instead, said her decorator, Mrs. Henry Parish 11, “There will be a quiet moving in of the first family’s perso al things. No clean sweep ... no major overhaul.” Mrs. Parish, who has worked with Mrs. John F. Kennedy on decorating projects for the past four years, said that the new first lady is a woman of “simple tastes who wants to create a home. . . . She wants actually to transplant the home she now has to the. White House, because it repre-sents-their way of life.” The decorator was talking of the Georgetown house where the Kennedys now live—a home furnished in French antiques of various periods, except for her husband's bedroom which is predominantly 18th Century English. Mrs. Parish said she had helped Mrs. Kennedy do the Georgetown house, given her a hand at the residence in Hyannis Port, Mass., where the furnishings are Early American, and also would be helping with the decoration of the country estate the couple has rented at- Middleburg, Va. The latter, she described as “old and full of charm—we’ll do it in comfortable country style.” Mrs. Parish said the family quarters — including private sitting, dining ,and bedrooms — are on the second floor of the White House. • A playroom-nursery will be furnished on the third floor. She said that Mrs. Kennedy plans , to add many of the accessories she- has collected through the years—“some lovely cigarette boxes, other bibelots, some lovely old French drawings.” All the furnishings are antiques. Walls of the family quarters all will be done in pastel tones, she said. And the next mistress of the White House will add her own draperies and rugs—“she has collected some lovely needlepoints.” In fabrics, the decorator said, Mrs. Kennedy's taste leans to gay [English and French chintzes. The second floor nursery for 3-year-old Caroline Kennedy will be done in pink and white. The one foi* baby John F. Jr., she said, would “be typical of a little boy’s room in any other home.”

Belgian Form Os Government Is Threatened By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Aside from the huge financial losses suffered in Belgium's month-long. Socialist-led strikes, Belgium’s very form of government is threatened. The Congo triggered the strikes, but other causes go deeper and at least one of them is not confined to Belgium. Strike losses currently are estimated at around $l4O million, or nearly S2O million more than Premier Gaston Eyskens* government hoped to save annually by its austerity legislation which the Socialists so vigorously oppose. Socialist opposition to the law which last weekend the government rammed through the Chamber of Deputies springs from the charges, that Its new taxes would rest most heavily upon lower income groups. Labor also bitterly opposed cuts in public expenditures for social insurance and education and in subsidies for uneconomic coal mines and railroads. Walloons vs. Flemings Current unrest has accentuated the differences between the French-speaking Waloons in the • south and the Dutch - speaking Flemings in the north which have existed since Belgium became an independent nation in 1830. Traditionally, the Walloon districts have made up Belgium’s chief industrial area. Its metallurgy plants were the biggest employers and it prospered from the flow of iron and other minerals from Katanga Province of the Bel- . gian Congo. Pay scales were higher than in the north and ..for more than 100 years the Walloons, although outnumbered by the Flemish, dominated Belgian affairs. _—t In recent years, the tide has been turning. One of the keys is the decline of southern Belgium’s coal mines. As surplus coal piled up at pitheads all over Western Eu- 1 rope and as the use of coal de-, dined before the advance of other fuels, the uneconomic mines in southern Belgium could not com-, pete. Whereas in 1957 the mines employed 152,000 men, in August, i 1960, they were employing 105,000. | Partial unemployment also rose sharply. -4 Coal Mines in North At the same time new, more profitable coal mines have been opened up in the north. Foreign business stepped up its investments in the north to take advantage of lower wage scales and proximity to the sea. Premier Eyskens’ ruling Christian Social party draws its main strength from the Flemish districts. The Socialist predominate in the industrial areas of the south. Now there are charges from the Walloon Socialists that the Eyskens government discriminates against them, and there have been growing demands that the country be reorganized into a federal state with both the Walloon and Flemish districts having local self-rule. There even have been demands that the Walloon area pull out of Belgium altogether and join with; France, a proposal which the French find highly embarrassing How Now, Purple Cow? NEW YORK (UPD — “How: now, purple cow” may become a; popular expression if the proverb-: lal “brown cow” wants to be in j style. ; The popularity of purple—also i called mauve, violet, periwinkle I and blue-red—is zooming.
