More Downtown Progress
Downtown problems have been a
center of attention in Sulphur Springs
the last week or so, this time in a con-
structive light.
Some downtown merchants quit
worrying about the shopping restric-
tions presented by lack of parking
space in the~area and started doing
something about the situation. The re-
sult was an organized exodus of a sub-
stantial number of store-connected, all-
day parkers from the downtown
square and a general show of interest
in this obvious method for easing the
pressure.
The city-added its contribution to
the effort by reviving enforcement of
the two-hour limitation on th6 square,
a function that should be maintained
on a regular basis.
In a general classification, Sulphur
Springs’ downtown problem* are ex-
actly the same as those that are pla-
guing every other going city in the
land. They concern such areas as the
parking jam, traffic bottlenecks, old
buildings in need of attention, the
drift of business toward other centers
and, finally, plain old lack of inter-
el and have something we can be
proud of in the United Fund campaign
this fafl. .
“Don’t Go Too Far!"
New Kind of Isolationism
All of us make a great deal of the
mobility of the American people. But
there is more than one face to this
coin. ,* »’
It is true that about a fifth of the
U. S. population changes its residence
every year. It is also true that millions
of Americans travel about in their own
country and. increasingly, in foreign
lands. — - .
Yet there are still many millions
who do little or no moving. And among
those who do get about, the patterns
sometimes are very curious.
The poor, especially the foreign-
born poor clustered in the great cities,
have been notoriously immobile. So-
ciologists used to point out that in such -
a city as Chicago there were thou-
sands of persons who lived out their
lives and never saw Lake Michigan—
a bare four or five miles from their
neighborhood.
Children born in sections eight or
10 miles from downtown Chicago of-
ten were 16 or 18 before they ever saw
downtown. Frequently they never rode
a streetcar or a suburban train until

on whether their lot is improved or
not.
As with many other troublesome
situations, the first logical step in fac-
ing the downtowp issue anywhere is
recognizing that problems exist. The
second consists of starting out to do
something to correct the difficulties.
Sulphur Springs has come a long
way in improving its downtown dis-
trict in recent years. It still has a
considerable distance to go if it is to
keep up with competitive pressures.
The fact that business men are active-
ly working on the situation is an en-
couraging sign. The fact that they
are accomplishing tangible results is
more significant.
The time may be ripe for some
sweeping moves on the parking prob-
lem and other obstacles that are pre-
venting Sulphur Springs’ ceWral busi-
ness district from realizing its full po-
tential.

Farm Problem Looms
As Election Issue
By PETER EDSON
Washington Corre«pondent
0, CHIEF/
Now comes author Peter Wydeil in
his book, “Suburbia’s toddled Kids,”
to point out that the present pattern of
suburban life is leaving something of
the same effect.
In support of that theme, he quotes
a suburban grade school guidance di-
rector as estimating, on the basis of
long-term inquiry among her students,
that Ho more than 30 per cent of the
children had ever visited Chicago’s
Loop area.
And. here is the curious twist —
many, many more of these kids have
made plane trips to Arizona and Flor-
ida than have seen downtown Chica-
go. .*

BURT LOCKHART IN PITTSBURG GAZETTE
Right Living Is Suggested
Newspaper Enterprise A»*n.
Washington, (NEA)— The 202-to-197 vote by which the
House of Representatives approved the compromise Food and
Agriculture Act of 1902 gives a good indication of how big and
close an issue the farm problem will be in this year’s congres-
sional election.
It will be strictly a party line battle. Only two Republicans
supported the program put forward by President Kennedy and
Agriculture Secretary Orville L. Freeman. The opposition came
from 160 Republicans and .‘57 Southern and big city Democrats.
Republicans may claim they won a big victory in that the
legislation wanted and started out to get early this yCar.
But before taking this action the House definitely killed
off by a 165-to-104 vote a GOP effort to,, go back to the Ben-
son plan of a $1.05 support price on corn with unlimited pro-
duction. < jjfc. ,
The new legislation will in effect set up support "ices of
- $2 a bushel for wheat, $1.20 for.corn, including an 1^-cents-a-
bushel bonus payment in kind for farmers who co-operate with
the programs and stay in compliance on production controls.
So for the long haul, the administrafipn is getting a good
start on its program. Its two-piece, certificate plan for wheat
production will go into full effect for the 1964 crop.
The temporary feed grain program now in effect is ex-
tended for another year. ,
.There is nothing in the new legislation on cotton or dairy
products. But will have to be taken up by the next congress.
But there is a definite start on the “land use’’ program
which Freeman proposes, to take 50 million acres of cropland
’out of production Hy, 1970. , ,
The new program will provide federal assistance loans and
grants to located communities to convert unneeded acreage to
recreational and other nonfarm uses.
So the new farm legislation is by no means a defeat for
the administration, even though Congress did' kill the full pro-
gram on the first round by another close 215-to-205 vote three
months ago. ,
The pressure on Congress to keep it killed in the last battle
was terrific, American Farm Bureau President Charles B. Shu-
man used all the influence of his 1.6 million-member organiza-
tion that he could muster to defeat the watered-down, compro-
mise version which the House finally passed. Leaders of both
parties agreed in advance that the Senate would also'accept
this bill.
Farm belt Republican candidates are nevertheless expect-
ed to go into the campaign charging that' the new legislation pro-
vides for regimentation of American agriculture on a scale
One Day’* Pay
One theme deserves prime empha-
sis as Hopkins County residents'pre-
pare for the start of the 1962 United
Fund campaign.
That is the standard of one day’s
pay which has prevailed for some years
over the entire country as an appro-
priate gauge of giving for consoli-
dated, multi-agency fund drives.
The Hopkins County United Fund
supports eight agencies. It must draw
eight times the support of a routine
type single campaign if it is to have
any chance of carrying out its obliga-
tion.'
For such a package approach the
time-honored local habit of handing
out a dollar or so for every worthy
cause that comes along obviously won’t
get the job done. The day’s pay for-
mula is necessary to carry the multiple
load.
Under the United Fund program,
it is just as easy to make an adequate
contribution as it was to produce the
small handouts under the old drive-
every-month system. Most local em-
ployers are cooperating with payroll
deduction plans to permit installments
at monthly or other intervals spread
out over the year. Pledges may be
paid by individual installments if de-
sired.
With a difficult task looming
ahead, United Fund leaders are mak-
ing a special advance appeal this year
for the one day’s pay idea as a key
element in the success of the cam-
paign. This is the time for individ-
uals and business firms to be making
their plans accordingly.
