THE HOWE ENTERPRISE, THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1970—PAGE 2
TIME TO CUT DOWN
CURB FEDERAL SPENDING
There have been many panaceas proposed to
curb inflation, but the No. 1 solution seems to have
eluded some of our national leaders. It is, of course,
to cut federal expenditures.
Official Washington might well be particularly
receptive to this method, for the cost of living seems
to be getting out of hand in the nation’s capital.
The Labor Department reports that while the na-
tional cost-of-living index was up 5.6 per cent in
August as compared to the same period in 1968, it
rose 6.3 per cent in Washington, D.C.
While the Administration is attempting to hold
down federal spending, calling for a $5.9 billion
surplus in 1970, the House of Representatives ap-
propriation bills in the present session are exceed-
ing the budget by $231,021,000 and the Senate
has exceeded the budget by $632,627,000. The
House is also considering legislative bills with
spending authorization exceeding the budget by
$267,019,000, while the Senate has bills exceeding
the Administration’s budget by $222,375,000. This
means that with the bills now under consideration,
Congress could exceed the budget by at least $1,353
billion.
It is hoped that this tangible evidence of these
figures, as well as rising living costs, will influence
the members of Congress and the Executive branch
to insist on an effective reduction in federal spend-
ing to help halt the ever-rising inflation.
.22 Restrictions Bill Studied
Eighty-seven senators and
congressmen have banned to-
gether to amend the .22 cali-
ber ammunition portion of the
1968 Gun Control Act. The bills
introduced by Senator Gale Mc-
Gee (D-Wyo) and Representa-
tive Robert Sikes (D- Fla) would
remove the remaining restric-
tions on the popular sportsman’s
ammunition.
It is necessary for dealers
to keep records and report the
sale of .22 cartridges. The re-
strictions on all other rifle and
jghotgun ammunition havp. been
repealed by congressional ac-
tion.
The lawmakers said that
criminals ignore the law and that
law-abiding citizens resent re-
gistration.
The Florida Democrat, in
keeping with the NRA’s stand
of fostering marksmanship a-
mong citizens subject to mil-
itary duty , pointed out that
“young lads can be drafted to
fight at age 19 in Vietnam but
are unable to purchase a box
of .22 caliber ammunition for
practice at home.”

Census Check
By Mailmen To
Complete Job
One of the final steps in
the 1970 census in rural and
small city areas of the Sou-
thern States—a check by mail-
men—is now under way. accor-
ding to the U.S. Department
of Commerce’s Bureau of the
Census.
The ’70 census was taken
by two methods: by mail-out
and mail-back of questionnaires .
in most major metropolitan a-
reas and by census takers in
the rest of the United States.
The latter procedure entailed
the mailing out of questionn-
aires and subsequent visits by
census takers who would pick
up filled-in forms or, lacking
this, interview families while
following a house-to-house ro-
ute.
Canvassing in the. metro-
politan areas required check-
ing of addresses by postal em-
ployees before the mailout, A
similar step is now being tak-
en by mailmen following the
visit by census takers.
This is the procedure: When
census district offices compl-
eted their preliminary counts
they truned over to the post
office a set of white cards
listing every address canvas-
sed. The mailman, in turn, ch-
eck these addresses against the
households on their routes. If
the mailman discovers what he
considers a “Missed” address,
he fills out a blue card not-
ing this fact. The blue cards
are referred to the Census B-
ureau, which will check them
against the census-records.
The Census Bureau has f-
ound from experience that many
households for which such car-
ds are filled out have already
been enumerated. This can hap-
pen for a number of reasons.

mmmmm
By Vern Sanford
Nothing in this world sounds
better to the eager ears of an
outdoorsman than the instant
purr of an outboard motor
.... when it starts from the
first push of the starter but-
ton, the first turn of the
starter key, or the first pull of
the starter cord.
Man, its a great feeling,
especially if you have com-
pany along. They think you're
the greatest host, just to step
in the boat, turn on the igni-
tion, and “away we go.”
Many a motorist has talked
to his motor in rather unclear
language, simply because the
outfit didn’t fire when he said
“go.”
But he should have talked
to himself—not to the motor.
More than likely the trouble
dated back to when he last
had the rig out.
No experienced boatman will
merely drive in from an out-
ing, tie down, and go home.
If he does, he’s asking for
trouble.
First thing the seasoned
boatsman doeB when he comes
to shore at the day’s end is to
drain the gas from the car-
buretor. This iB done simply
and easily. Merely disconnect
the gas tank from the motor,
then start up the motor again
and keep it running until all
the gas in the carburetor is
used.
Experts in .this field just
disconnect the* gas tank hose
as they approach the dock and
come on in under the power
that is left in the carburetor.
This way, besides saving a
handful of gas, they also save
time.
Experience will show you
how far you can go. with
various size motors and vari-
ous size boats before the car-
buretor runs dry. Naturally,
the smaller the motor, the
longer your gas supply lasts.
Thanks to inventive genius,
there is another and simpler
way to solve this “get-moving-
quick” problem. On the mar-
ket now is a liquid product
called STA-BIL — short for
“stabilizer.”
This a liquid additive for
your gasoline tank. It keeps
your gasoline volatile simply
by preventing the “conglomer-
ation” that takes place in the
gas tank when the fluid (and
worse yet, a gas and oil mix)
sits for long periods of time.
For example, one ounce of
STA-BIL (three squeezes from
the little 8 oz. can) will stabil-
ize one gallon of gas for 12
months, two gallons for five
months, four gallons for two
months.
It is suggested that, before
storing, you run the motor for
ten minutes to be sure that all
gas in the carburetor and fuel
lines is treated.
Unfortunately, many of us
do not “get out to sea” every
day or even every week. Some
of us are lucky if we get away
once a month. This means that
the motor sits idly in the boat
stall, or on the trailer, until
you are able to “put in”
again. Meanwhile, the gaso-
lines does what comes natural-
ly ... . particularly that to
which oil has been added....
conglomerates* This means
that the tank as well as the
carburetor becomes gummed
up if the fluid is not used
often. That’s why most out-
doorsmen, before they start up
their outboard motor, will
shake the little gas tank vig-
orously to distribute the oil
evenly throughout the solution
or at least get it off the bot-
tom. Not to do so means that
the gas being used will be
ligntly mixed with oil and, as
thef supply diminishes, the re-
maining fluid in the tank will
be [largely oil and, therefore,
tend to gum up the motor
rabidly.
JTA-BIL prevents congeal-
ing. It keeps the fluid clean
by preventing gum and resin
forming in the fuel system. In
other words, it prevents forma-
tion of the sticky, trouble-
making mess.
Needless to say, a faulty,
sputtering motor is going to
suffer from wear more than a
smoothly operating, easily
starting, sweet running outfit.
So if you are going to leave
your outboard motor sitting
idle for a while — add some
STA-BIL. Same goes for your
inboard. In fact, it is equally
applicable for the lawnmower,
tractor, etc.—especially where
oil is mixed with gas.
It has been said that a tank
with STA-BIL will fire faster
than even brand new gasoline.
Sounds great! And it is! More
power to you.
have a crude protein value
of less than 10, or close to
20 percent crude protein. At
•tiie lower level cows will lose
weight because they cannot
sonsume enough grass to sup-
ply their body requirements.
The key is to graze the gr-
ass when the protein content
is high. Rotation grazing is the
kay.
Coastal bermudagrass com-
pletes its growing cycle in ap-
proximately 28 days. It rea-
ches the highest protein con-
tent in 21 to 25 days, but
will hold this high protein
content for about 7 days. The
grass should be harvested w-
ithin this period for best re-
sults.
A four-pasture rotation
system works ideal with ber-
mudagrass. Put the cattle in
one pasture and leave for a
week. Move the cattle each
week and each 21 days you will
return to each pasture. If the
cattle haven’t grazed the grass
in seven days cut the grass
for hay.
This rotation schedules
the grazing when the grass is
at the highest food value and
also provides a pasture of f-
resh grass each for the cattle
to graze.

guided, especially if you are

Today, the surest means of a
book becoming a best seller is
for the author to highlight and
denounce bitterly the faults of
this country. The same can be
said of television and the mov-
ies, which prefer in these mod-
ern days to depict the. seamier
side of life in America.
But there’s hope. As I have
moved across this state, I have
sensed that our people are
growing weary of gloom. It’s
becoming easier to strike up a
conversation on what’s right
about America.
I always suggest that there
are a lot more level heads in
this country than we are some-
times led to believe. There are
a lot more decent, law-abiding
citizens than there are crimi-
nals and cheats and sharks.
There are a lot more young
people in the “now” generation
who want to improve America
than the handful of radicals
who want to burn it to ashes
and start all over.
I can understand why the
“majority” has broken its “si-
lence.” There’s a growing im-
patience with agitation and
controversy . But I feel we
should continue to approach
our nation’s problems with a
cool head and an open mind.
I’ve listened to the voices
. of dissent. I think I know what
they’re asking of their govern-
ment.
One thing they want is con-
fidence. They want the assur-
ance that their public officials
have the courage to meet the
issues of the 1970s* with imagi-
nation and integrity, and not
with some form of “old poli-
tics” that thrashes around with
problems but never quite lo-
cates the workable solutions.
It was my desire to answer
this urgent need that prompted
me in January to seek the office
of United States Senator.
