GOOD MANAGEMENT
NEEDED
The public payroll continues to grow about twice as
fast as the population it serves, while the taxpayer is
bludgeoned into paying higher and higher taxes.
On an annual basis, the Tax Foundation estimates
that wages of civilian employees on government
payrolls will exceed S118 billion in 1973.
In five years (1967-1972) employment in the public
area increased 13 per cent, while the nation's
population increased about five per cent.
Actually, the number of federal employees has
dropped in the five year period, but more than enough
state and local employees have been hired to make up
the differene.
More than half of the 371,000 increase of full-time
equivalent employment in 1971-72 was in education, the
field that claims half of all state and local employees.
It is only through increased citizen interest that
sound management methods can be utilized to keep the
public payrolls in check.

We hafi as guests last week
Rev. Dim Kleppe. Always good
to have guests helps, makes
out Attendance Committee
under the direction of Lion
JoEd Anderson look good.
Lion JoEd made a report on
our skating rink. Things just
have not gone well. At least it
proved that our area could not
support one This is one of the
very l'exv Lions Club projects
that just xvould not work out so
it xvas sold last xveek at a loss of
about SI.300.00. About all that
can be said that the Lions of
Rusk tried again to provide
recreations for the youth of our
area and we certainly cannot
be ashamed of that. We are so
thankful for the many projects
that have worked and we will
just have to keep trying.
Lion Morris Elliott presented
the program by paying the
Lion Tailtwister Glen Stanley
$1.00 and then doing a little
advertising. He introduced
Mr. Bud Hayes. Commercial
Casualty Suptinlendent with
Aetna that just happens to be
one of the companies Lion
Morris represents. He dis-
cussed Workmens Compensa-
tion Insurance and the changes
in the law brought about by last
years legislation. They type of
insurance xvas brought about
after many employees rec-
eiving bad treatment years
ago. The employer should
provide a safe place to work
and offer protection in case of
injury. The employee would go
to court years ago and would
always lose his case plus
loosing his job most of the
time. Then the tide changed
and they started winning some
cases. Then the Workmens
Compensation Law came into
being after seeing it work in
England. Every State now has
this law with the great State of
Texas starting in 1920. There
has been wide variation in the
different states causing the
Federal Government to step in
and set up guide lines with
most states enacting laws to
try to comply. If you employ
one person you are subject to
this law with domestic, farm,
railroad employees excluded.
It is not compulsary-but—.
Benefits available to employee
has been changed as of 9-1-73.
Also a widow can draw $63.00
per week if husband killed
while working as long as she
remains single. This is of
course the maximum. Medical
bills are paid and they are
unlimited. The State Board of
Insurance sets rates and it
seems employers must have
this type of insurance to
protect themselves.
We noticed in the Dallas
Morning News a few days ago
"Christmas"
To Be Title
Of Sermon
The Rev. L. Allen Holley.
pastor of the Rusk Presby-
terian Church will bring a

The Women's Circles will
resume their meetings follow-
ing the Christmas and New
Year Holidays. The worship
service will continue at the

The Rev. Holley invites

about a quote of Lion Ed
Guinn. the only District
Governor the Rusk Club ever
had. A Dallas oilman Lester
Logue says that the anti-
pollution mechanism on autos
cause them to use 25 per cent
more fuel. What happens is the
these engines of the cars are
using more BTU's to burn up
the xvaste. Lion Ed Guinn.
noted attorney with Hunt Oil
Company:"We now have a 10
per cent fuel shortage. If we
would just take off these anti-
pollution devices, we'd have a
35 per cent surplus." Mr.
Nixon should certinly listen to
this.
Txvo old friends met at a
luncheon an began to rem-
inisce about former girl-
friends. One said. "How about
Suzie? Has she kept her
wonderful figure?" The other
man smiled and said. "Kept it?
Why, she's doubled it!"
See you Thursday Noon. New
Southern Motor Hotel.
A book of interest, primarily
for teenagers is "Controlling
Your Weight" by Barbara
Benziger. Here is a detailed
guide of how young people can
form good weight control
habits.
A new book for all ages, ten
up, is "Why We Do What We
Do" by Elizabeth Hall, man-
aging editor of "Psvchology
Today". A readable look at
modern psychology, covering
many areas as motivation,
emotions, learning, person-
ality, persuasion, and adjust-
ment, relating them effectively
to our everyday lives.
Allen Drury returns to the
"Advise and Consent" series
with a powerful novel set in the
near future as American
whirls in doubt and confusion
around a weak man in the
White House. Drury in "Come
Nineveh. Come Tyre", with
insight and breadth has
created a primer of the
politically possible in America.
His vision of tumbling gods and
fallen states is prodoundly
disquieting. The book is
currently on the best seller list.
Another best seller is "Theo-
philus North" by the well-
known Thornton Wilder, auth-
or of "The Bridge of San Luis
Rey" and the play "Our
Town." The career of Theo-
philus North is constantly
entertaining and thought-pro-
voking.
Roger Kahn, author of "The
Boys of Summer," gives a
picture of the world and its
people from Robert Frost to
Jascha Heifetz in his book
"How the Weather Was."
Barbara Soloman says "Mr.
Kahn does not invent his
America, he shows us our-
selves, our fantasies with a
clear, just and often com-
passionate mirror."
We are happy to report that
November was the second best
month in number of books
issued in the past three years,
a total of 1,133. Twenty-one
new library cards were issued
and fines collected totaled
$18.84. Income from mem-
orials, city, and donations for
the month came to $776.34;
expenses paid, $150.53 with
bills payable of $215.79.
Thanks to Dr. Rountree for a
generous donation and to Drs.
Harriet and Fagan Thompson
for a memorial gift.

THE BIRTH OF JESUS
From the birth of Cain, Eve's son, to
the birth of Jesus, there must be a thousand
references in the Bible to children coming
into this world Whole paragraphs, sections,
even chapters are given over to "begats."
Some births are even described in the
greatest detail, such as that of Jacob
and Esau.
But, with the birth of Jesus, not
another birth is recorded of anyone.
Why' Certainly the process has been
experienced by all of us.
Perhaps, in this manner, God
seeks to call attention to the New
Birth. For, as Nicodemus heard from
the hps of Jesus, "Except ye be born
again, ye cannot enter into the
kingdom of heaven." From this
moment on. every power of God
is to be brought to bear upon
man being born anew1
With the Birth in Bethlehem,
which means the House of Bread,
is now born "the Bread that
cometh down from Heaven,
which, if any man eat
thereof, he shall never
die "
That becomes the
message of Christmas.
That is the Gospel for
everyday of our years,
and every year of our
Lord.
