2 Tht Daily Banner, Greaneastla, Indiana Saturday, January 16, 1965 Editorial-Wise Economy In Government We believe that President Johnson really does want to economize and we’re for that one hundred per cent. In his foreign aid message he sent to Congress, he asked $3.38 billion in overseas assistance. This is the lowest request in the 18-year history of the aid program. We only hope that Mr. Johnson will continue reductions of expenditures in every department of the Federal government. We are certain there are many millions of weary taxpayers who feel the same as we do in regards to this matter. Perhaps, the turning off the lights at the White House was a step in the right direction after all. Truly, Time Morches On Saigon, Peking, Laos, Malaysia, Borneo—these names may sound strange to some and considered far, far away. But, in this age of space orbiting and aircraft that travel three or four times faster than the speed of sound, distance is only a word. Even the old reliable “iron horse” has been replaced by high speed diesel locomotives and crack streamliners have greatly reduced time for passenger train travel. What a difference in today's giant jet planes and that of the Wright Brothers and those flimsy crates that were used in World War I. We remember the first time that we saw an airplane close up. It was flown here years ago by the late Maurice Sharp, brother of Mrs. Clara Jones. “Sharpie” and his plane really created some excitement among the townsfolk as well as those over Putnam County. Then came World War II and the Superfortresses and eventually the atom bomb. Truly, time marches on, and we are thankful that our nation has progressed with the passing of time. Not Too Many Friends From our desk, it does not appear that the United States has too many friends, especially in Asia and even in Central and South America. Apparently, most of the countries we have in mind have forgotten the financial backing, food, weapons and other forms of aid that the United States has been sending them ever since the end of World War II and during those war years. We Americans must be very gullible to think that this aid will eventually clear up differences on an international scale. We say this after reading of the rebuffs being handed us in South Viet Nam. American boys are being killed or wounded almost every day in this Communist-inspired conflict. Even the South Viet Nam officials seem to be lukewarm to the help the United States is giving them. Just what is the best thing to do is a big problem—a major headache—for those in the highest government circles. Let’s hope they reach a decision soon. We feel that it will either be an allout move in preference to a pullout move unless the situation should improve which is far from likely.
Top Rated TV Show Dropping HOLLYWOOD UPI—Klunk! That noise you hear is the crash of “The Beverly Hillbillies.” The No. 1 rated show for its first two seasons on the air has plummeted out of the top ten, and apparently is headed for new depths in its third year. Buddy Ebsen, who stars as Jed Clampett, examined the wreckage with the same equanimity with which he regarded the show's runaway success. He wasn’t impressed then; he’s not panicked now. In his dressing room at General Service studios he listened to a press agent explain; “For two years we were number one every week except four—and that even includes the summer re-runs. There's no explaining our drop in the ratings unless it’s our switch in time slot.” Ebsen shook his head. Like Jed, he weighs his words carefully. He's not a man of excus-
es or alibis. “There's not much to say,” the tall, angular Ebsen grinned. “I never got inflated ideas of how the show was doing from the ratings. It was flattering but I leaned over backward not to let it influence my evaluation of the series. “Other people are more worried about the ratings than I am. I think the show is better than ever. And I’m still glad to be working.” Ebsen’s series was shifted by CBS from its old time slot at 9 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Wednesdays. It is now opposite the last 30 minutes of “The Virginian” and “Shindig”, neither of which are swamping the Hillbillies In the ratings, but they've cut In just enough to bounce the series from the top of the heap down to 30th spot.

A Line O’ Type After being pampered by the warm weather earlier in the month, the cold spell seems like a torture conceived by the demons. However, we were warned by the persimmon seed and the wooly worm, so what excuses can we give for complaining?
Ninety-nine percent of the Christmas decorations have been taken down. However, if you know where to look you can still see a wreath hanging from a window or catch a glimpse of a Christmas tree as you drive past a residence. Taking down a tree isn’t nearly as much fun as putting it up.

(A club lead would have given South his ninth trick without a struggle.) How could West lead a diamond without appearing to have a real interest in the suit? When the hand was played in an exhibition match in France last year, Samuel Stayman led the six of diamonds instead of the deuce.

However, more often than not the errand turns into an all-day affair and the car is left where it sits. The trucks that service merchants by the rear loading doors can not get through.
