We had assurances the budget would be balanced but as of the moment the indications are tho fiscal year will end with the largest deficit on record for the U. S.

Government. We had assurances Ike would keep us out of war but it is beginning to look like wo are getting "dangerously near" (using lUiilos' words) to a shooting war in Indo-China. We've had assurances business conditions and layoffs were leveling off but ia the LION'S EASTER come the opportunity to commune with God and nature in the great outdoors. Yes, All Hail! All Hail! to April, we love it! We want to add our approbation to the suggestion of Mrs. Stegar that places of interest should be built in Carter County to attract sightseers and tourists.

About two years ago we, ourselves, suggested the gathering of relics, curios, oddities and what nots of things in Carter County and housing them in some room or building to bo called the Carter County Museum. Later we suggested planting of flowers, rose shrubs and trees along the highways in Carter County and offered a donation of roses if someone would spon sor the move. ro one became interested and we got exactly nowhere with our suggestions. M.my other progressive places have found such things to be wonderful drawing magnets in bringing tourists and visitors to their communities. The Lake of the Ozark region has spent more than since last tourist season providing new attractions and beauty spots in their region.

The same method will work anywhere and particularly in Carter County where nature was kind enough to give birth to the greatest wonder in the world, the Hig Spring. Hetter get on the beam, folks! Whatcha say? If you've never been to Big Spring It is the place for you to go; It is clustered in scenic beauty And is Nature's grandest show. The folks there are not Hut are closely to them in kin; Always welcoming folks to visit Who want pleasure without sin. Big Spring produces natural rhythm Starting it's journey to the sea; So. friends, go there on vacation There's not a better place to be.

Hope yoti.se all is gittin' your 'taters planted, seeds in ground and hens settin'. We gotta stir early and late to make a livin' aid enough money to pay taxes and buy a new pair of socks for next winter. Mrs. Rucinski bought Mrs. Alva property in Suth Van Huron.
