In this first meeting betwfeen the
two since the Senate confirmed
Lodge’s apppointment, the former
Massachusetts senator may be able
consider at least five Dilemmas i
which we must face in 1953.
Korea—Dilemma No. 1
The American people want their
gry. Such a move might also cause
unemployment he're 'at htome^
which would be welcomed by the
Democrats.. Hence, this third Di
lemma. Competition during 1953
will be very severe, even among
„ j U. S. manufacturers, without be-
' ing handicapped by r greater im-
! ports.
Balancing Tha Budget
lemma No. 4
Our new President will operate
a more honest and economical
Federal pavemment. There will
be less money spent by all depart
ment',', mclucting the military. More
efficient operations may be expect
ed. But this deflationary program
may cause unemployment and low
er profits. As most Federal in
come is derived from taxing profits,
this would mean lower tax re
ceipts. This is a Dilemma which
Eisenhower must face in 1953.
Reducing Taxes—Dilemma No. 5
The Excess-Profits Tax will end
during 1953. The Capital-Gains
Tax could be reduced, and invest
ors would benefit from the reduc
tion. It exists only as a political
rop to radical labor. Perhaps a
token reduction of 5 per cent in in
come taxes and 50 per cent in cer
tain excise taxes will be granted
in 1953. But if we have declin
ing profits and dividends, as a re
sult of Eisenhower fulfilling all his
other promises, can he reduce tax
es much more in 1953? Never be
fore has any new President in
herited such abnormally high tax
es, upon the Government’s spend-
unemploymcnt here TiriVSme,
ing on which our prosperity is
largely dependent. Hence this is
Dilemma No. 5.
Needed—A Spiritual Awakening
I am thankful that Dwight D.
Eisenhower is now President of our
country. Unless World War III
comes ( and if it comes Eisenhow
er would be needed more than
ever), inflation can be curbed.
Hence, we have Confidence. This
is a great step forward. , But the
American people—except in emer
gencies—are basically business and
employment minded. Our marvel
ous growth has been due largely to
this fact. We do not like to sacri
fice. Eisenhower believes that what
is best for the world as a whole
will ultimately be best for America.
But only a great spiritual awak
ening, brought about by some ad
versity, will make our voters be
lieve and act likewise.

‘The Paper Everybody Reads”
(Zctnic [jP/if/ib tnicl ^Racfic
Although comic papers and near-comedians work over
time on crude, alleged jokes about the drug store’s selling
everything but drugs, the chief interest of every pharma
cist worthy of the name is in the prolongation of life and
the alleviation of suffering. If we had to part with every
department in our store but one, the one we would keep
would be the prescription department. It is here that we
are privileged to co-operate with your doctor in relieving 1
your ills, in restoring health to you and the members of
your family. This brings us far fnore satisfaction than we
could hope to enjoy from any other department of the
6tore. Consider us your prescriptionists. !

Sizeable Cuts

Dallas, Texas, Jan. 26.—U. S.
Sen. Burnet R. Maybank, (D-SC)
told 1,000 cotton industry leaders
today he believes the economy-
minded new congress will - make 1
sizeable reductions” in the new
federal budget.
The ranking Democrat on the
Senate banking and currency com
mittee addressed an opening ses
sion of the National Cotton Council
here.
Said-Maybank:
“We simply cannot continue to
spend at the rate of recent years.
We cannot pile deficit on deficit,
without threatening the stability
of our economy.”
He said it will take “courage
and fortitude” by Congress and
“forbearance and self-denial by the
people” to cut the budget.
“Some of our pet projects or
programs will have to be delayed
or suspended. Some of the services
we have come to expect in recent
years will have to be •halted. Cities,
counties and states will have to
assume an ever-growing share of
the burdens of government.”

Good Citizen of
Clinton
Have you ever thought about the part your Telephone
Company plays in the life of this Community, the
State and the Nation? Here are some things it does:
1. Pays good wages to its employees—money
that is spent largely in the employee’s home
town. /
2. Pays large amounts in taxes that go to sup
port government, education and public
institutions.
\ * *
3. Takes part, both as a Company and as in
dividuals, in many worthwhile civic en
deavors.
4. Provides the best possible telephone serv
ice at the lowest possible cost.
Accepting the responsibilities of citizenship, w«
believe, is an important part of good telephone
service to this community.
