EDITORIAL AND FEATURE PAGE THE PARIS, TEXAS, NEWS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1958 Cold Spell of the Year Used to Mean Hog Killing Time There've been times in the past when a real good cold spell like Tuesday's would mean hog killing time in the Red River Valley. But not so any least not on any large scale. Used to be more fun than most anything next to Christmas. All the neighbors. boiling water steaming- coming out of the vat.

a big hog hooked to a singletree and then hoisted up by the hind feet. All the women folks making sausage strips for lard. and cooking dinner for all the company. Everybody got in the act. Even the youngsters.

Piles of backbones, stacks of side meat, whole batches of scraps for sausage, hams, hog feet and hog of it was used. It was a real big community event when the first cold snap hit. It was a regular as the year changed. The first good cold day meant hog killing time. Of course, it's changed in recent years.

Nowadays, there're refrigerators and deep freeze units that are becoming a common part of most any or rural. Then too, there are the meat processing plants that do the work the year round today as a service rendered in most of the small agricultural communities of this country. But, first cold spell of the year always recalls at least for some what used to be one of the big events on the killing time. Economy Coalition Signs Emerging From Houston Chronicle: More signs are evident that the in the next Congress will be cessive spending and that the lines will be more clearly drawn than at any other time during the Eisenhower administration. Those favoring economy may find themselves in a stronger position, despite the Democratic landslide on Nov.

4, which was so widely hailed as "a victory for the tax-and-spend An unusual coalition us emerging. If all parties to it stick to their stated' intentions, they can control the course of the federal government. This, coalition, based on the economy issue, is shaping up among the President, Southern Democrats and Old'Guard Republicans. A coalition of Southern Democrats and Republicans controlled Congress during the latter years of the Roosevelt administration and under the Truman administration. This fell apart when President Eisenhower, was elected, -mainly because the President veered ifrpm his 1952 campaign promises and tried to forge a type of New Dealism called Republicanism.

If the President sticks to what he now -says he is going to do, the old Southern Democrat-Republican coalition will have a big powerful new White House. The ex- one issue which could destroy this coalition is civil rights. There are some indications the President may try to soft- pedal civil rights by making" excessive spending the big issue, one on which the Republicans can campaign in 1960. On the day after the election, the President emphasized the spending issue and warned that free spenders had won a big victory. He pledged himself to fight for economy.

The President has reiterated his stand several times since then. Congressman Joe Martin, Republican, leader in the visited President Eisenhower Wednesday and oa leaving the White House, predicted the President will veto all spending bills he considers excessive. The attitude of the President, who has proposed record peacetime budgets during the last two years, appears to be a reversion to his 1952 thinking. Some political observers feel it is significant that this happened after Sherman Adams left the White House. But whatever the cause of the President's change, taxpayers should welcome the President does what he says he is going to do.

WORLD TODAY Americans Are Thankful Today For Lite Itself, No Hot War By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON 10 Today is Thanksgiving Day. And what do we have to be thankful for? For two things, mainly: 1. That we're still alive at a time when the United States and the Soviet Union have enough atomic hydrogen bombs to make the human race look like a piece of wrapping paper that was burned in an open field years ago- 2. That so long as there is no war we can go on hoping that war between the East and West, between the Communist and non- Communist world, can be postponed until in the end there will be no war. But every year ahead from one Thanksgiving Day till the next will be an uneasy one.

Communism is a crusading belief, bent on capturing the world. The Western democracies have the task of building dikes against the tide, with aid and arms, hoping in the end their way of life will look more attractive. It won't be easy- In the struggle between the two'beliefs, the democracies may have to move further and further towards socialism, and communism further and further towards individual freedom. In the end if peace can be preserved communism and capitalistic democracy may have lost so much of their original identity that they will have become something different from what cither side imagines now, and almost identical. The best reason for thinking so is that life itself- and life means both ideas and men's desire is steadily undergoing change.

At this moment when the West is giving aid to more backward peoples and still trying to balance its budget it feels that it is doing the best it can. Years from now if communism wins, the West may feel it did far less than enough. Communism, both in China and in the Soviet Union, is straining its utmost to come abreast of and surpass the West in a matter of a few years- As an example: the recently announced Soviet economic plan. The West has no reason to be self-satisfied. It's in a life and death struggle.

Because it has led the world for centuries in production -and living standards is no guarantee it can continue to do so. What is unknown now, and seldom talked, about, is the potential of the backward people, in Asia HOLLYWOOD Woodward Has Own Child-Rearing Idea By BOB THOMAS AP Motion Picture Writer HOLLYWOOD (AP) Joanne Woodward has her own formula for rearing the child she expects in April: apartness. She. loves children, and she plans to give the tyke plenty of loving care. But she doesn't put in with the folksy hucksters of to getherness.

She doesn't want her child to be overparented, "I remember," she said, "how my father would sometimes say, 'Well, today we're going to spend some time So we'd take a walk or something and we'd both be glad when it vras over. "It's silly for parents and children to spend all their tune together. Can you imagine anything duller than listening to the conversation of a 7-year-old all day? Or how dull he must find it to listen to his parents talk all day. Let each side have their own lives. They'll both be happier that way." Joanne and husband Paul Newman plan to make their permanent home in New York City and come here only to make films.

"People are always telling me how great it is out here for children," she said. "Well, I was brocsht up in the South where we had a warm climate and large yards to play in, and I found I had little to do. There's plenty to do in New York. "I especially don't want to bring up my children in an atmosphere where they're judged by the of cur their parents drive. "As for California being a healthier place for children, I'm not convinced." The Newmans will be heading East as soon as he finished "The Philadelphian." She has wound up her role in "The Sound And The Fury" and will sit out her pregnancy in New York while he's in the new Tennessee Williams play.

and Africa. That potential will become clearer when they get started on the road to the 20th century and begin to perform with the energy all men are capable of It is these people with the black and yellow skins who, when they begin to assert their potential, may change the course of history and the direction of both communism and capitalistic democracy. One thing is sure: On this Thanksgiving the West, and self-assured for so long, cannot look into future and be positive that on some future Thanksgiving Day it will be the winner. Snake Interrupts Pastor's Sermon CORPUS CHRISTI (AP)-Eve may have succumbed to the wiles of a serpent but not members ol the Annaville Church of Christ- Minister Delvin Buford was about half way through his sermon Sunday night when Delmar Cox, sitting at the rear of the church, warned others in the congregation to get their feet off the floor. "There's a rattlesnake in the church," Cox told them.

The intruder was about two feet long and had six rattlers. 0. J. Cox, seated at the front of the church, got to the snake first and struck it with a hymn book- Cox took off one of his shoes and finished the job with one crushing blow. "I've had sermons interrupted by many things, but this is the first time by a snake coming into the church," minister saic afterwards.

Annaville is about 8 miles west of Corpus Christi. National Golf Foundaton records show that 5,718 regulation courses now are being used in the United States. OOT4IDE AMERICA COULD This Thanksgiving- THE NATIONAL OUTLOOK Government Spending Prospects Depending on Variety of Issues By RALPH ROBE Twice President Eisenhow has spoken on Federal Government spending. The first was at his press conference the day after election. At that time he said he would devote the next two years to opposing reckless or unnecessary' spending.

The second was a few days ago when it became known that he had directed a memorandum to all government departments, except Defense, instructing them to hold their outlays to those approved by the Budget Bureau. The reason for the omission of Defense was not that there is no ceiling in this case, but rather that apparently its estimates have not jelled as much as those of the other departments. Back of these moves is the widely held belief that the new members oE the Congress will be spenders. The President obviously is of this opinion, and so are most of his cabinet. It is expected that we shall have bills for aiding so- called depressed areas, expanding unemployment compensation and perhaps social security, increased grants-in-aid to the states, aid to education, and a host of other things.

The aggregate cost could run into the billions of dollars. In the current fiscal year ending next June 30 it is expected that federal expenditures will total $79.2 billion. That is under the regular or Administrative budget. Under the cash budget, which includes the trust funds, the total will be $94.1 billion. The latest official deficit estimate under the regular budget is $12.2 billion; under the cash budget the estimated deficit is $13.7 billion.

In terms of amounts alone, therefore i there is ample reason to resist'an in" crease of spending. There also are other compelling reasons. First, the Treasury has a problem in financing the deficit at present and the longer the deficit continues the greater the financing problem will become. This does not mean that it is difficult to sell government securities. It is a question of the limited supply of funds available for such purchase, plus the fact that government security prices have They'll Do It Every Time LIMM.

Second, business recovery is moving ahead on a constantly widening front and there is no reason for assuming that its continuation is or will become dependent upon increased government spending. This is true in spite of the fact that the increase in spending during the past year has helped the recovery, and made it more rapid than it otherwise would have been.

At the moment it is the general expectation that we shall move to new high levels of economic activity, and this expectation is not based upon still higher government spending. Third, there is a widespread belief that we are faced with further inflation. It is generally assumed that for the next several months we shall have reasonably stable prices, but following that will come another price rise. To many people this is the number one problem facing the nation. There is not too much agreement as to what will bring about the next round of think it will continue to be wages rising faster than output per manhour, some that it will be the amount of government all would agree that a further significant increase in government spending would be on the infla- tionary side.

Finally, a further growth of government spending would mean that new fields were being entered by the Federal Government. That is neither necessary nor desirable. What we need is for some of the present functions to be returned to the states and localities. The present Administration has tried in a limited manner to accomplish this, but its success has been slight. More emphasis should be put on this part of its program, thereby reducing the size of the federal budget.

What this all means is that President Eisenhower was completely correct in saying that he would oppose increased spending and in calling for the various departments to live within Budget Bureau limits. But it must be remembered that the President will be submitting, according to expectations, an $80 billion budget. That is not a good foundation from which to fight for economy, and the President will have to Presumably he will get help from within the Ad ministration and from some members of the Congress. This may be enough to assure victory for him, but the prospect would be much better if the public also joined in and let their Congressmen know that they are opposed to a further increase of spending. PAUL HARVEY NEWS Is Hypnosis New Medicine Dimension? Last month hypnotists from all over the world converged on Chicago for the tenth meeting of their "Society For Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis." Always intrigued by the mysteri- ious, the press perhaps gave the "revelations" of that symposium attention out of proportion to their importance.

But much of the responsibility belongs to the overly exuberant psychologists who proclaimed hypnosis as a cure for everything from dandruff to athlete's foot and most everything in between. As with most good ideas, somebody always exaggerates. And exaggeration ultimately tends to discredit the good idea until it seems a bad one. Clinical hypnosis is a recognized medical practice. But as with the wonder drugs and early ambulation and physiotherapy and ray therapy and psychiatry, each exciting new horizon of medicine offers so much promise that each, in its exploratory phase, has been abused.

So now with hypnosis. A London doctor, A. Philip Magonet, who treats allergies with hypnosis, rejects asthma as "a says it is a "lump-in- the-throat emotion. with hypnosis." Dr. E.

E. Ashton of New Jersey is a dentist. Brt he reported to the American Society for Clinical Hypnosis on using posthypnotic suggestion to aid difficult cases of fitting contact lenses. The "Bridey Murphy craze is sweeping Britain new. Some 4,000 hypnotists in Britain are encouraging this "game" in which the subject, under hypnosis, reveals exciting lives during previous "in- carnerions." Psychologists are generally agreed, now, that the "previous existence" is merely a daydream recollection of the kind of life the subject wishes he were living.

But 4,000 hypnotists continue to play, for a fee, with the subconscious of their patients with no concern for the split personalities which can result from such abuses. Then there is the British hypnotist, Henry Blytlie, who caims he can cure smokers from smoking even by a transatlantic telephone call. The Austin, patient Harold Scott, who tried, reports the treatment "didn't take." Hypnosis is not a new diii-ier in medicine. The first mother who ever kissed a skinned knee and purred softly, "That'll make it well, it won't hurt now," was inducing an hypnotic suggestion. And she said it so often the little ones came to accept her suggestion, and it did stop hurting! The British doctor who treats asthma with hypnosis has merely refined the "mothers' kiss," In fact, Dr.

Magonet says parents can cure their own children up to age 11 by bedtime suggestions: "You will not wheeze and cough tonight. Ee calm now. You will not wheeze and cough." He says, "It usually works." What's important to remember, however, in our fascination for this science, is that mother knew better than to try to cure fractures that way. Doctors and dentists will be able to learn the limitations of their hypnotic power only by experiment. But experiment is for the not the clinic.

Overexuberance 'during early experiments with such new medical X- GLANCES X- (From tht tcrapbooks of tht A. W. Editor of Tht Paris News, 1936-56) July 19, 1932 Rev. Sam Jones, the evangelist who made slang in the pulpit a potent weapon, held a revival in Paris some forty years ago, and was heard by the largest crowds that ever attended such a meeting here. Rev.

Sam Small, who was with him in many meetings, was here part of the time and the two took turns preaching. One night Sam Jones paid his respects to the whiskey traffic. Some of the older folks in Paris will recall his style of attack. The young, people may have heard of Sam Jones, and in order that they may realize how he talked I am reprinting here a part of a newspaper report of his sermon that night. He said: "This (the whiskey traffic) is the curse of the country today: there's too much money in it.

This is what brings Rube Burrows and the Dalton gang into train This is what brings horse and cattle thieves into their business. There's money in it. A cattle thief and a train robber is a gentleman alongside a whisky seller, the scoundrel that sells liquor. I will prove it to you. When Rube Burrows robs a train he only demands and takes their money, doesn't he? A saloon keeper not only takes your money but he wrecks your home, debauches life and damns your soul forever.

Now which one is the more respectable business? Everyone who thinks Rube Burrows a gentleman alongside the saloon-keeper, stand up. (And practically the entire audience rose.) a little hot under the collar, now ain't you, Bud? I didn't intend to run up this street to- nght, but just wait till tomorrow night to get mad. I've only hit the high places tonight, but tomorrow I'll plow you up right, God willing. The time has come when if a vagabond wants a drink, let him go to a saloon and get it, but if a man is a gentleman and expects to be considered one, he will have to go without. It is time to Quit preaching about the New Jerusalem and the sweet by- and-by and go to talking about Paris and the stinking now, ain't it? "These fellows say that Sam Jones has no religion, all he's running around for is the money.

Do you know I could sign a contract with a lecture bureau to lecture 300 nights in the. year at $200 a night? That means $60,000 a year and you suppose I expect you people to give me $200 a night? "It's time you were quitting that lie, Bud. Brother Archer did anyone but a common liar ever tell that tale? No. Now what are you going to do, bud? Whip a preacher? I wouldn't. That is no way to elevate your character.

After you whip him, you'll be the same dirty dog you are now. I'd go out somewhere and whip self if I were youV That was a typical Sam Jones sermon and he hammered other evils in the same style. He was for years the greatest crowd drawer in the pulpit and many imitated his style but never reached the height Jones attained as a revivalist. 73 YEARS AGO Tuesday, November 27, 1945 County Supt. J.

G. Branson's survey of county schools showed a dearth of radios, slowing his plans for using broadcasts as a supplement to other teaching aids. Eleven cases of influenza were reported, only four more than was recorded the previous week. The Rev. W.

H. Pittman of Calvary Methodist Church spoke to the Kiwanis Club, on "Prayer," pointing out that some prayers better not granted, because of the unworthiness of the plea.

If she's really pretty and can act, she can do much better as a television commercial actress, one of the girls who demonstrate everything from shampoos to refrigerators on the video screen. This is the newest and most competitive of the glamour girl industries and one of the best "A good magazine- model can make $10,000 to $15,000 a year," said Candy Jones, 'but a top TV commercial actress now can earn $25,000 to $35,000 a year and up." Candy, born Jessie Wilcox in WilkesBarre, is one of a comparative handful of ex-models who went on to carve a big niche in the business- world- A slender and sprightly blonde with "Air Force blue" eyes, she came here in 1941 looking for a modeling job. She applied to Harry Conover, and his first verdict was she "wouldn't do." But he did change her name from Jessie Wilcox to Candy Jones. Her first week Candy earned $105, "a big figure in those days." weapons as wonder drugs and ray has cost many lives. Let's go Into hypnosis research with our eyes open.

She went on to become a top model, a Broadway performer, and finally Conover married this girl who "wouldn't do." Today Miss Jones, still lovely and in her thirties, pruns the million-dollar-a-year Conover Television Agency, directs the placements, and listens to the hopes and heartaches of a stable of 75 beautiful TV commercial actresses- "There are only about 500 active in the field here in New York, compared to perhaps 1,500 photographic models," she said. Ty Hordin Becomes Ty In Private Life Too HOUSTON, Tex. (AP) Orison Whipple Hungerford Jr. changed his legal name. Monday to the one which brought him fame in the Cheyenne TV series: Ty Hardin.

Hardin said he preferred his old name because it didn't smack so much of Hollywood but that it was a matter of convenience. "My contract is in the name of Ty Hardin, I pay my rent as Ty Hardin, and my checks are signed Ty Hardin," he said. Dist. judge Byron Johnson approved and signed the name change order.
