ballooning federal debt
It may be assumed that avoidance of fiscal
crisis, was the big motivating factor in the
Administration’s request for authority te
create additional debt; but the size of the
increase and the relatives ease with which
it passed Congress points up the fact that
deficit financing is certainly in no immediate
danger of losing favor in Washington. Time
was when no federal debt could be created
without a specific enabling act of Congress*

Noted In Passing
T’aint Funny, McGee! On a recent
visit to Philadelphia, Mrs. Joseph P.
Kennedy remarked: “A lot of women
have been the mother of one president
but there has never been the mother of
two or three presidents.” Then, realiz
ing that she may have spoken out of
turn, she added that she was only jok
ing.
We hope so. When you think of
Bobby or Teddy in the White House it
is a joke of sorts. But not a very fun
ny one.
Economic Pied Piper Walter Reuth-
er is telling his union members that
they’ll soon be making $25,000 a year,
and a guaranteed annual wage. What
he didn’t tell them was that when they
reach that income level, automobiles
may be expected to cost $12,000 or so,
a pair of shoes $150, a loaf of bread $2,
and union dues will be at least four
row, subject only to an over-all limitation by
Congress which we call the “federal debt
limit.”
Deficit financing rfas been an easy road
for Washintgon to follow. As a result, our
federal debt—which amounted to $54 billion
in 1940—is now seven times that amount.
On a per-capita basis' it has expanded from
$400 to $1,880, despite the fact that since 1940
our population has increased by about 65
million.
ALL PUBLIC OBLIGATIONS
State and local governments, too, have
been finding it convenient to “borrow from
tomorrow” in financing a wide variety of
projects and programs. As a result, total
public debt in the U. S. has been rising at a
fairly rapid pace during the past quarter
century. In the decade from 1956 to 1966,
these lebts of all governments in our nation
rose from $348.5 billion to $475.8 billion—an
advance of 37 per cent.
However, those who defend this rapid rise
remind us that in thglftame 10-year period
the Gross National Product jumped 76.4 per I
cent. Because of this unperecedented eco
nomic upthrust, public tlebt relative to GNP
stood at 64 per cent last year, compared with

Badminton
In the latter part of the 19th Century, British
officers introduced into England a game they
had learned in India.
The game was similar to tennis in that it was
played on a court divided by a net, and rackets
were used. The court was smaller than the one
on which tennis was played, and a feathered
shuttlecock was used instead of a ball.
The object of the game was to volley the
shuttlcock back and forth across the net without
letting it hit th* ground within the boundaries
of the court. ' . i v
The game was first played in England in
1873 at Badminton, the estate of the Duke of
Beaufort. The games was called “badminton,
after the name of the estate.

production and higher per

C. H. Lomas, Extension dai
ry scientist, says he “doubts
that there are many days
during the winter that cattle
are under stress because of
cold weather.
“You may find,” he con
tinued, “that dairy cattle need
shelters when cold weather is
accompanied by wind and
rain. But I have noticed the
greatest drop in milk produc
tion during hot periods of the
summer.”
Cows expel the heat gener
ated by their large digestive
system mainly by exhaling
ths heat-laden air from their
lungs.
If the air they breathe is
cool and dry, efficient cooling
takes place. If the air is hot
and humid, cooling is less ef
ficient. .
Shade is also recommended
for beef cattle. L. F. Cato, Ex
tension animal science spec
ialist, says more gain and
bigger calf crops result from
providing shade during the
summer.
“We believe shelter from
the radiated heat of the sun is
highly desirable for cattle
during the hot summer
months.
“A section of forest joining
the pasture gives good protec
tion. There’s less danger from
lightning in the forest than
from isolated trees in a pas
ture.”
Cato says the best artificial
shelter is provided by alumi
num-roofed structures. Alumi
num is better for reflecting
and absorbing heat.
The shelters should be con
structed so that good air cir
culation is provided, allowing
the body heat of the cattle to

Lafit Stop: It wasn’t widely noted
in the press, but, after Premier Alexei
N. Kosygin finished his business at the
UN, visited with President Johnson j^t
Glassboro, and hugged Castro a few
times in Havana, he stopped off en
route home to have a private talk at
Grand Falls, Newfoundland, with no
less than Cyrus Eaton, the Cleveland
industrialist who wanted to get in the
last word.
Eaton, it will be remembered, was
very buddy-buddy with Khrushchev,
and clearly Kosygin considers him of
continuing importance to Soviet de
signs in this hemisphere.
