\itorial Comment
■y Spending
(rnment must come to its senses about the value
spending only the dollars it must spend and
? dollars do a better job.
o call a halt to the whole philosophy that has
if our federal government—spending on things
vital to our defense, but that merely reflect the
less of our politicians to surrender to socialism
votes. The Administration officials are using
[emergency as a means of advancing programs
Ids that they are essential to the nation’s wel-
peat size of present military outlays, moreover,
attention away from the billions being spent
:ial fields.
ive years between V-J Day and the outbreak
ostilities, while America’s armed strength was
ring, the federal government still spent more
lion; a sum greater than had been spent in the
’s of this century. As the nation rebuilds its
ngth, it is imperative that the government be
lount for reckless spending policies,
jrican people are now far more mindful of the
lilitarism abroad and socialism at home. They

5ut also by the inroads of British-style socialism,
ed of the government taking away their right
v their money should be spent. They are feel-
of inflation. They know we are in for a period
l, hard saving, hard sacrifice, and they want to
lington spenders take a share of it.

NATIONAL PROBLEMS
It is said that we have a fifty-
cent dollar and $258-billion na-
tional debt. Our debt is very
large, and naturally we all say
that all debts should be paid . . .
that is just a common saying.
Yet, if all debts were paid in the
United States, we would not have
any money to do business on. All
the money we have in circula-
tion, except a minor amount—
including coins—is based on dept.
Money is created on debt under
our system.
If the people of the United
States were to tighten their belts
and live on practically nothing
for a whole year and pay the na-
tional income on the national
debt which would liquidate it, we
would have the worst depression
in all history, as there would not
be a medium of exchange. It is
my opinion, at this time, that the
national debt will never be paid,
although it will never be re-
pudiated or any part of it allowed
to be in default. Therefore, we
should direct our thoughts to the
best and most economical way
the debt should be carried. At
the present time, the Govern-
ment is paying about $6-billion
in interest a year. This could
be reduced by having the twelve
Federal Reserve Banks, which
operate on the credit of the
Government, to carry a large part
of the debt, but it would be a bad
precedent.
The painless way of obtaining
the money would be a great
temptation to Congress whose
members are elected on popular
issues by the people. If there
was a definite and sure way of
having the twelve Federal Re-
serve Banks carry the whole debt
and stopping right there, there
would be no danger; but the risk
is too great; and I would not be
willing to trust Congress on it
as much as I personally trust the
Members of Congress and Con-
gress as an institution. If our
dollars are only worth fifty cents,
our national debt is one-half of
$258-billion in this money that
would be used to pay the debt
with.
As large as our debt is, our
assets are more than twice as
much. So the baby that is born
into the world with a national
debt of $2,000 facing it can have
the assurance that it will also
have more than $4,000 in assets
to pay the debt with.
EVERY AMERICAN
SHOULD VOTE
In the last Presidential election
in 1948, of the 95 million Ameri-
cans who were eligible to vote,
only half that number actually
cast their ballots. These figures
have set political scientists to
work feverishly analyzing trends
and reasons.
They have published many in-
teresting facts: That women vote
less often than men; that Ameri-
cans between the ages of 21 and
39 are more inclined to stay away
from the polls on election day
than older persons; that in presi-
dential elections since 1900, only
55 per cent of the eligible voters
bothered to participate.
To remain strong, every demo-
cratic nation must be supported
by the will of the people. That
is the essence of democracy; and
if our free institutions are to
flourish, they must have that
support. It is no empty state-
ment to say that it is not only
a privilege but the solemn re-
sponsibility qf every eligible
American citizen to vote on Nov.
4 for the candidates, who are to
represent him in public office.

A Review of the Past in
Cooper and Delta County . . .
Taken From the Files of the Cooper Review:
TEN YEARS AGO THIS WEEK

Wednesday at her home. Places were set for Mrs. J. E. Armstrong,
Paris; her sons and their wives, Dr. and Mrs. J. T. Armstrong, New
York; Mr. and Mrs. Edward Armstrong, Paris; Mr. and Mrs. T. A.
Moseley, Enloe; Mrs. J. A. Moseley and son, Bennie Joe, of Pasa-
dena; Mr. and Mrs. Guy Moseley, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Brackeen
and family, Jack Hagood and the hostess.
Rev. Orren Burns, new pastor of the Presbyterian Church, will
teach the course in Bible at Cooper High School this year.
Cooper schools opened Monday with 575 enrolled; 320 students
registered in high school and 255 in the grade schools.
TWENTY YEARS AGO THIS WEEK
Last rites for Elwood Phillips were held at the Presbyterian
Church Monday, conducted by Rev. F. Sanders and Rev. Herbert
Dudley.
Rev. Grady Metcalf was re elected moderator at the annual
meeting of Delta County Baptist Association meeting in Cooper
last week.
Congressman Wright Patman will speak in Cooper Friday night.
A truck and trailer belonging to Homer Hagood and loaded
with 20 bales of cotton enroute to Houston burned near Huntsville
Saturday night when the truck went into a ditch. Guy Moseley,
who was driving, jumped and avoided injury.
THIRTY YEARS AGO THIS WEEK
Cotton receipts are 8,400 bales. Cotton is selling at 20% to 21%
cents.
The World Series will be received by radio, play by play, at
Kelcy Foust’s this week.
W. A. Jackman, father of Frank and Bob Jackman, died at
Ben Franklin Sunday morning.
W. I. Bartley and family moved from Pecan Gap to Cooper
this week.
A barn of T. B. Bullard with 2,500 bales of hay was destroyed
by fire northeast of Cooper last week.
FORTY YEARS AGO TTIIS WEEK
Vol Rattan, southwest of Cooper, is reported seriously ill.
Mr. and Mrs. John Anderson of Vasco were in Cooper Sunday.
J. J. Hunt of Klondike was in Cooper Thursday to secure a
brick layer to build flues.
Mrs. J. Conrad Miller entertained Tuesday night, honoring Miss
Christine Naylor on her 14th birthday.
tinue production following flood,
drought, or other natural dis-
asters. As of June 30, loans had
been granted to approximately
49,000 farmers. Of this number,
24,082 had been repaid in full.
Following the general national
pattern, an increase in attend-
ance at religious services has been
noted in the Armed Forces. In
the Army alone, attendance
reached a total of nearly 19 mil-
lion during the past year.
FEWER ECONOMIC CONTROLS
One of the most encouraging
signs in Washington today is the
feeling of assurance that we have
now reached a point in our
mobilization program where few-
er and fewer economic controls
are necessary. During the past
eighteen months, as our arsenal
of defense was being replenished
with new weapons, we faced the
unhappy choice of “guns or
butter.” We now face a period
when we may expect the nation
to produce both with a need for
only the most essential restrict-
ions. Slowly the regulations cov-
ering thousands of items, which
we use in our everyday life, are
emerging from the shadows of
these controls.
Americans traditionally have
demanded no more regulation of
their lives than that necessary to
preserve civil and economic or-
der. It is a strong indication of
a healthy nation when the people
impose controls they dislike upon
themselves. Our officials know
well that these restrictions must
be abolished as soon as the crisis,
which spawned them, is no long-
er present.
Good Eyesight Is
Must For Student
Poor eyesight can make a
child "slow” in school. Ufieor-
rected visual defects can cause
a normally bright youngster to
dislike school, fall behind in his
class and become self conscious
about playing sports and games,
says Dr. Geo W. Cox, state health
officer.
A child will rarely complain
about poor vision. It may be
blurred, he may see double, yet
in three cases out of four, he
will not tell anyone because he
does not know how well he
should see. That is why it is so
important for parents and teach-
ers to know the symptoms of
eye trouble. An intelligent child
may be victimized by poor vision
both at school and with his play-
mates.
Too often a youngsters’ eyes are
neglected because no one knows
that they will need care, Dr. Cox
points out. For this reason, vis-
ual tests should be continued
throughout the child’s school
career.
Some of the symptoms which
may mean that a youngster has
eye trouble are:
1. Rubs eye often, attempts to
brush away blur.
2. Becomes irritable when do-
ing close work.
3. Blinks more than usual,
stumbles or trips over small
objects.
4. Is over-sensitive to light;
can’t play games requiring dis-
tance vision.
5. Red-rimmed, encrusted or
correction will save many dayg
of unpleasantness and possibly
swollen eye lids.
