he sent cut to ve ers in his district show that “by a margin of 12 to 1, our people said that the current trend in government points to socialism.” Other interesting views from his poll showed: All but one person favored a balanced budget before tax reduction. The vote on statehood for Alaska and Hawaii is "slightly in favor.” It was thumbs down on foreign aid to Communist countries and about even on the question: do you
favor foreign aid of any kind?
Miller said also the vote was 10 to 1 against
federal aid to education.
© BROTHER EDGAR- The newsbreak on EdMilier gar Eisenhower’s statements about his brother’s "liberalism” caused much off-the-record talk on Capitol Hill and among White House aides. Edgar said he did not like the influence that another brother. Milton, swings with brother Dwight and also took a pot shot at "Assistant President” Sherman Adams. Politicians of both parties privately applauded President Eisenhower’s handling of the whole matter at his news conference. Edgar, the chief executive said with a smile, has been criticizing him since he was five years old.

• LOOKING TOWARD ELECTIONS — Congressional economizers are in dead seriousness about budget cutting this year for a good political reason. Both parties want to be first to put a tax reduction for small income groups on the 1958 tax returns. The picture now looks as if the heavy trimming is going to be done in House appropriations committees by Democrats while on the House floor Republicans and northern Democrats arc going to take over the battle to eliminate some government functions and thus reduce spending even more. Big :i for the -trimmers—overseas information agencies, foreign ^id, defense, and some executive agencies. The best figuring is that $3 billion to $4 billion will have to be cut from spenciing this coming 1958 fiscal year in order to make possible a tax cut. The Democrats plan to introduce their bill increasing personal cxemptiona by $100 toward the end of the session thin year. The Republicans have a choice of either trying for a tax cut now with President Eisenhower’s tacit approval or waiting for him to call for the cut next January.

# TROUBLE OVER JORDAN—Washington observers wonder just how long the bleak, arid and generally uneconomic Arab state of Jordan can remain an independent country. With domestic political problems mounting and neighbor nations casting covetous eyes on her. Jordan's days—in the opinion of many qualified experts—seem
to be numbered.
Young King Hussein, educated in England and a supporter of the
West, appears unable to cope with the elements in his country who want to align Jordan with Russia or the Arab bloc. Increasingly recurrent cabinet crises at Amman, the capital, indicate that the tiny kingdom, which was carved out of the Palestine Mandate in 1946, may be in its death throes.
Britain’s longtime influence in Jordan ended last year when Maj. Gen. John Bagot Glubb was ousted as chief adviser to his famed Arab Legion. Then Egypt, Syria and Saudi Arabia offered to under-
write Jordan's economy.
If Jordan should collapse, there undoubtedly would be a mad scramble among the Arab group, including pro-West Iraq, and Israel
for the pieces.

IT DOESN’T PAY TO JOKE OVER RADIO, ONE FINDS SALEM, Va., (UP)—A local radio station almost had an “invasion from Mar’s" panic on its hands and manager M. C. Bowers admitted today that "it was a mess,” but it was all in fun. Announcer Don McGraw of WBLU casually told his listeners last night that “strange bubbles" were seen emerging from a lake near here, presumably from a •‘submarine” that had been spotted. He mentioned it again as a joke. Bowers said McGraw’s listeners “didn’t take it that way.” They swamped his station, and other stations, newspapers and police in the area, with telephone calls.
NEW TIME-TABLES New spring passenger timetables of the Pennsylvania Railroad, soon to be issued and effective with the change of daylight saving time at 2:01 a. m. Sunday, April 28, should make cheerful reading for travelers in most ot the 13-state area served by the road. In addition to showing all departures and arrivals in daylight time for the first time in the Pennsylvania's history, thus ending the one-hour-earlier-or-one-hour-later quandary of travelers with watches set to daylight time, the new timetables will show material improvement in the schedules of several important trains.

sistant Hostess.
Mrs. Greenleaf opened this meeting by reading an Easter prayer from the Seventeenth Century prayers. A brief business
meeting followed.
Miss Minnetta Wright gave to the club a very interesting paper on the derivation of words, her topic of discussion was “What’s In a Name.” The clever introduction of giving the significance of each of the club’s members names,, gave the personal interest which was needed. The paper had local color in that the origin of the city, conn- ! ty, and state names were traced. The club appeciates that Miss Wright shared this interesting intellectual hobby with us. Mrs. Greenleaf served mint punch. Cakes and nuts were also served from a table decorated with flowers and candles.

But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam. Where that which drew from out ! the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell And after that the dark And may there be no saddness of | farewell When I embark. For though from out our bourne j of time and place The flood may bear me far; I hope to see my Pilot face to ( face When I have crossed the bar.
CARD OF THANKS I wish to express my sincere tharks and appreciation to each and everyone for the kindness and sympathy extended to me at the death of my husband. I especially wish to thank the ladies of the First Baptist church and neighbors for their acts of kindness, sympathy and service. And to all who sent the beautiful floral tributes and cards. Also wish to thank all relatives and neighbors for their acts of kindness, and Reverend Rissler and Reverend Miller for their consoling words and Rector Funeral Home for their services and kindness.

FLOOD CONTROL In a report just issued by the ' Army* Engineers it is estimated that construction of the Cagles Mill Reservoir in Putnam County had prevented flood damage estimated at S 1.800.000 since the dam was completed in the fall of 1952. Total cost of the project was 54,108.000. so it would appear the benefits will soon exceed the original outlay. (The figures do not include damage prevented in this year’s flooding.) Construction of a second Federal flood control projects in the 6th District is currently underway near Femdale in Parke County. Known as the Mansfield Project, it will give flood protection from the waters of Raccoon Creek and is part of the overall Ohio River area control plan. It, too, will eventually pay for itself as Cagles Mill now is i doing.
