PAGE TWO THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1959 tttt 1218 Colkffe Street NEWBERRY. S. C. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY O. F. Armfield, Jr., Owner Second-Class postage paid at Newberry, South Carolina. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: $2.00 per year in ad vance; six months, $1.25. Strom to The Senate is now working hard on appropriation bills for fiscal year 1960, which will begin July 1. Except for certain back-door spending schemes, the appropria tion bills are supposed to account for all spending by the Federal Government. While the House Appropriations Committee, of which Congressman John Riley of South Carolina’s second district is a member, acts first on all appropriation bills, the process of arriving at a figure for any particular appropriation bill begins many bureaus and months earlier. The process begins with some small component in an agen cy such as the gigantic Defense Department. Many months in ad vance, a section chief will submit his spending requests for the com ing fiscal year to his immediate superior. From there it goes to the appropriate service Secretary, then to the Secretary of Defense, and on to the President’s Bureau of the Budget. BALANCED BUDGET FOR 1960 The Bureau generally pares the requests down and presents the overall budget request to the Presi dent, who in turn, submits a bud get message to the Congress short ly after his annual State of the union address. In January, 1959, President Eisenhower submitted to the Congress a budget which he expects the government to collect, $77.1 billion, we would have a slight surplus if his budget re commendations were carried out exactly by the Congress. The President’s budget request was divided into five major cate gories: major national security, $45.8 billion; interest, $8.1 billion; agriculture, $6 billion; veterans, $5.1 billion; and other, $12.1 bil lion. His receipts were broken down into four major categories: indivi dual income taxes, $40.7 billion; corporation income taxes, $21.5 billion; excise taxes, $8.9 billion; and other $6 billion. CONGRESS DOING O. K. Thus far this year, the Congress has done an admirable job in work ing toward a balanced budget for fiscal year 1960, as contrasted with fiscal 1959 when a deficit of $13 billion was incurred. Most of the appropriation bills which have been approved by one or both houses are within or below the budget re quest figures. The house has acted on 14 of the 18 appropriation bills, with four more—the foreign aid, military construction, atomic ener gy, and 1st supplemental bills— still awaiting action. The Senate has acted on eight bills thus far and should complete action this week on three more, among them being the important and expensive Defense Appropriations Bill. The House cut the President’s defense budget request of 39.2 billion to $38.8 billion. At the writing of this report, the Senate committee had not yet made its recommenda tion to the Senate. I feel that I have been very dili gent in voting to reduce or elimi nate altogether certain spending requests that are either extrava gant or unnecessary and thereby threaten the financial stability of our government. In defense spend ing, however, we must give our defense experts the benefit of the doubt. The barq minimum in na tional defense is not sufficient, for this is an area which concerns our very survival as a nation. It is vital that we provide the money to insure the following: (1) the ability of the Strategic Air Com- tnand to maintain at least a rea sonable portion of its force on constant air alert; (2) speed up production of second generation missiles, particularly the inter continental missiles, the interme diate range polaris system, and the anti-missile missiles; and (3) more modernized weapons and equipment for well-trained and sufficient ground force (Army and Marines) to deal effectively with aggressions of limited aims. I shall endeavor to make certain that the money is made available for these important defense items. H. D.

And during the summer families and groups will be packing picnic lunches for an out-door outing. Hard-cooked eggs have long been a favorite picnic food. They’re good to eat, easy to prepare, and easy to carry on a picnic. And right now eggs are plentiful and cheap. For summer outings the easiest way to prepare, carry, and keep eggs is in the shell. Hard-cooked eggs in the shell keep for hours without refrigeration. The shell and papery lining underneath pro tect the eggs. When hard-cooked eggs are served out of the shell—either stuffed, or in salad, or sandwich filling—keep them cold from the time they’re shelled until they’re served. Keep eggs or egg mixture in the refrigerator until you pack your picnic lunch. Carry the eggs safely in a chilled, insulated, or iced food container. Buy top quality eggs—Grades AA or A— for hard-cooking. ' The top grade eggs with their thick whites and well-centered yolks are best for stuffing. For salad or for sandwich fill ing, Grade B eggs are suitable. Hard-cooked eggs take longer to cook—but most people like the tender, firm white of the hard- cooked eggs to the tougher “hard- boiled” texture. To hard-cook eggs for your pic nic, follow these directions: Wash the eggs, put them in a pan, and cover completely with cold water. Bring the water to simmering temperature—that is, just below boiling—simmer 20 to 25 minutes, depending on the size of the egg. When eggs are cooked, put them at once in cold water, preferably cold running water. This chilling halts cooking and helps prevent dark color from forming on the outside of the yolk. Speed up the job of shelling hard-cooked eggs by holding them under running water—the water helps carry off all bits of shell that may cling to the egg. Cold hard-cooked eggs slice bet ter or cut in half more easily be cause chilling makes them firm. For wholesome good eating on your picnic, put eggs on the menu. Take advantage of the plentiful supply of eggs now on hand and use eggs often during everyday menus as well as on picnics. • v ; i* •• greater stability!
