MacDonald, Presbyter ian college alumnus formerly of Lit tle Rock, S. C., and now with the military history office in Washing ton, is the co-author of }he latest volume in the series on the U. S. Army in World War II. Inn the book entitled "Three Bat tles”, MacDonald wrote of The Cross ing at Arnaville, and Objective: Schmidt. The purpose of the book, as defin ed by the military history ofifice, is “to achieve a microscopic view of battle by focusing on the small front line units and to provide a picture of, the interrelationn of small parts on the battlefield in as great a va riety of tactical situations as pos sible." 1 The River Crossing at Arnaville is ceased, are hereby notified to file the same duly verified, with the under signed, and those indebted to said estate, will please make payment likewise.

With tremendous earnestness men are saying “We must not reduce tax es until we balance the budget.” That sounds like the orotund voice of a profound thinker, doesn’t it? Then the Executive Department of ] the Government can’t agree on rp-: , ducing taxes until all the bureau-, crats agree to reduce spending. Does ; that really seem advisible? Has any- ; one in authority considered the tax- ' payerTIs Ke~not more important than the story of a battle that started bad ly and ended in victory; Objective: Schmidt tells of one that began with an unexpectedly easy success and turned into tragic defeat. After graduating from Presbyter ian college in 1942, MacDonald serv ed with the infantry in Europe. He recounted his war experiences in the book “Company Commander.” He i has been with the military history office since 1948.

How do we make jobs? By enequraging people to invest their savings in new en terprises and in expended enterpris es. Consider this illustration be cause it*is an everyday experience. A new development in or near a town is planned. It will have five hundred homes, a school, one or two churches, streets. The first service they call for is electricity. Electricity for the homes, the churches, the schools, the streets. Of course water, sewerage, policing and fire protec tion. I mention electricity because that is usually a Company formed by and owned by men and women who i put their savings into the project, j They invest their savings becau^ [they want dividends (like interest) on the money. Lf the taxes are so high that industry cannot prosper, people will not risk their saving and we shall virtually choke off the development of business. Now in the case cited, the Company would prob- I ably have to employ additional men ! and women. That is how jobs are i made. If the people do not invest j their savings there will be no jobs, j It is as plain as that. Look around you: if a hundred men and women decide to invest in a new store, the store employs clerks, and other “help”. So we cre ate jobs; so some more people earn their bread and meat. This very wise talk about oalanc- ing the budget sometimes makes us think that it is the same as reduction in spending; but not so; even in South Carolina, some years ago, we had lo insist on reducing taxes because the gentlemen who earnnestly talked of balancing the budget meant to in crease the taxes! Certainly, if a bud get m a ust be balanced, and spending is not curtailed, we must balance the budget by increasing the taxes. If we want to come nearer home, we South Cafrolinians balanced our budget by collecting forty million dollars in a sales tax, didn’t we? Then we became so rich that today the vexing problem is to balance the balance. We have learned how to spend, which any child can do; but have we learned how to husband our resources wisely and prudently? The iNational t Government has some legal obligations, such as bond interest; and some moral obligations, as to our Service men; but it will ne^er balance anything unless we reduce the revenue; we must reduce the taxes and sternly examine the spending of every dollar. Perhaps all administrative jobs in Washington, except personnel, should be manned by capable and honest civilians Sometimes a man is both capable and honest; it isn’t always necessary to take two men in order to find those two qualities. Occasionally we may become confused, and we may think like the little boy who visited a cem etery with his father. “Dad, why did they bury two men in this grave?” asked the boy.
