I guess you think it is my
fault we had snow last
Friday! My “Scoop” column
last week praises the warm
weather and warns we may
be in for bad weather and'
what does it do? Cold
temperatures, rain and
snow!!
Are you one of the ones
who complained when the
new Howe Post Office went
in and the outside mail box
was turned away from the
drive through area? Well,
your complaints were evi-
dently heard. A drop-in slot
has been installed for the
convience of those wishing
to mail a letter without
getting out of the car.
Speaking of 24-hour tellers,
the City of Howe has one. In
fact they have had it for a
long time. There is a slot for
you to pay your water bill if
you come by after business
hours. And you don’t even
need a stamp. The slot is
located near the front
window.

Film Set At
Methodist Church
“No Longer Alone,’’
winner of three prestigious
film-industry awards, will be
shown on Sunday, March 14,
at the First United
Methodist Church, 810 N.
Denny. The showing, open
to the public free of charge,
is scheduled to begin at 6
p.m.
The film, a true story, takes
a close look at a woman who
was searching desperately
for love and acceptance, but
whose cries went unheard by
those who surrounded her.
Originally released by
World Wide Pictures in
commercial theatres, the
film is now one hour in
length in preparation for its
eventual presentation as a
television special.
“No Longer Alone” traces
the life of an English actress
Joan Winmill Brown.
Though she skyrocketed to
fame on the British stage,
her life was marked by a
frantic grasp for personal
fulfillment and love. Tor-
mented by a past she was
unable to fo.6et, she
succumbed to a series of
nervous breakdowns; and, to
one point, attempted to take
her own life.
In her ultimate moment of
despair, Joan was invited by
a “chance” phone call to
attend a Billy Graham
crusade. It was here that she
first discovered her worth as
an individual and began her
long struggle to piece her
shattered life back together.
Those who have followed
Billy Graham’s ministry will
be interested to know that
Dr. Graham appears in the
film in some of the footage
of his 1954 London Crusade,
and also in the introduction
and conclusion to the film,
photographed recently for
this special version.
According to William F.
Brown, President of World
Wide Pictures, “No Longer
Alone” was presented the
“Award of Excellence” from
the Film Advisory Board of
Hollywood, as well as the
“angel” award from Reli-
gion in Media in America, as
the outstanding religion film
of the year. It also received
the “Silver Halo Award”
from the Southern California
Motion Picture Council.
“No Longer Alone” was
filmed in color on location in
Londoh, and stars Belinda
Carroll. Wilfred Hyde White
James Fox. Samanth Gates
and Gordon DeVol. Simon
Williams, who has one of the
leading roles in the BBC
production. “Upstairs,
Downstairs.” also stars in
the film. The title song was
performed by the popular
recording artist, B.J.
Thomas.
Millard Fillmore's wife, Abigail, found no books in the
White House after he took office as the 13th president.
She set aside a room for a library and got an appriation
of $250 from Congress to buy books.

Dear Editor,
Reaganomics and progress
The Reagan Administra-
tion’s hopes for a positive
response to passage of eco-
nomic recovery tax act has
been crushed. Increases in
depreciation allowances and
tax credit for business was
expected to produce an up-
surge in investment activity,
however enthusiasm for the
increased plant equipment
investment has been dam-
pened by high interest rates
which offset benefit, busi-
ness tax reductions. This
causes weakness among con-
sumers, causing everyone in
government to be very cau-
tious as much so as the
consumer. The future of the
economy is starting to regis-
ter declines. High mortgage
rates have fettered the home
buyers of America and other
high financing depressing
domestic auto sales.
Economy in Renewed
Recession
Until October the economy
exhibited only sectoral
weaknesses, Since then
overall economic conditions
seem to have deteriorated
markedly. It is considered
the economy has slipped into
another recession, declining
1.6% during second quarter
1981, gross national product
(GNP) measure in dollars of
purchasing power rose 1.4%
at rates in 3rd quarter. A
decline of 5% has been pre-
dicted for final quarter 1981.
Consumer spending will be
critical to the economy’s per-
formance in coming quarters
inflation rate has been in a
declining trend. Consumers
received a small tax cut Oct.
1, 1981. Recent rises in un-
employment will continue to
reduce consumer confidence
Consumer spending and
economy as a whole is not
expected till 3rd quarter of
1982 or at least till July 1
after the 10% tax cut if they
get it.
Administration - Dilemma
Weakness in the economy
is presenting a grave dilem-
ma for the Reagan adminis-
tration. Congress passed
larger tax cuts than spend-
ing reductions. The weaken-
ing economy has made
revenue shortfalls increas-
ingly likely. Rising unem-
ployment will induce more
government spending for
unemployment benefits. At
the taxpayers’ expense. In-
terest rates are raising cost
of financing our deficits,
The Reagan administration
is committed pursuing anti-
inflationary monetary policy
to reduce growth rate in
money supply. Many say
this policy has created more
government problems than it
has solved. Reagan has
pointed out it took 15-20
years for us to get in this
condition.
Budget-Deflcit-Causes-
Concera
We of America are facing a
bigger problem - our Con-
gress has declared the
present administration a
failure. At least a two-year
time period should be
allowed for signs of perma-
nent economic revival to
emerge. The present rise in
deficit is partly involuntary
AM
because of a weak economy
which was inherited from
previous administrations. I
feel Congress should take
another look at tax loopholes
Those the Democrats them-
selves made in 1981.
Vigilance Needed by Ad-
ministration, Congress
Congress will have to scru-
tinize closely government
spending programs. Once
more going back to Reagan
and his administration. I
Think if Congress would
review the conditions that
our president found our
national economy in they
would come to him with a
repentant heart and a forgiv-
ing spirit. Then and only
then can we once again see
America on top, with every
body with plenty of money
and a world of happiness
and a better spiritual world
in which to live.

Dear Editor,
One year ago this month,
the President of the United
States was nearly killed with
a “Saturday Night Special.”
Thank God President Rea-
gan survived.
But during this past year
over 20,000 other Americans
were shot with handguns.
They were not as fortunate
as the President. They died.
It’s easy to blame the poli-
ticians in Congress who
should be doing something
to stop America’s handgun
violence. But the Congress
works for us. What have we
done? What have you done?
The gun lobbyist are puny
compared to us. Polls show
that nine in ten Americans
want tougher handgun laws.
But the politicians hear from
the gun zealots every day.
It’s time they heard from us.
Our goal is to find ONE
MILLION AMERICANS who
care enpugh about handgun
violence to stop it. And if
becoming ONE MILLION
STRONG isn’t enough, we’ll
find ten million more until
our handgun laws are
strenghtened. And if Con-
gress won’t change the law,
we’ll change the Congress.
Every time a John Lennon
or a Ronald Reagan is shot,
America is called a sick
society. A handful of kooks
doesn’t make us a sick
society. But what is sick is
for the rest of us to let this
handgun violence continue.
You can do something to
stop America’s handgun
violence. Contact us. We’ll
show you how.
Sincerely,
Pete Shields

Dear Readers,
I would like to share this
with you from my book of
memories.
SMILE
Have you smiled at some
one today? A smile costs
nothing, but gives much. It
enriches those who receive
without costing those who
give. It takes but a moment,
but the memory of it some-
times lasts forever. None is
so rich or mighty that he can
get along without it, and
none is so poor that he
cannot be made rich by it. A
smile creates happiness in
the home. It fosters good
will in business. It is a
countersign of friendship. It
brings rest to the weary,
cheer to the discouraged,
sunshine to the sad. It is
nature’s best antidote for
trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought,
begged, borrowed or stolen,
for it is something that is of
no value to anyone, until it is
given away.
Some people are too tired
to give you a smile. Give
them one of yours, as none
needs a smile so much as he
who has no more to give. So
smile. God loves you.
Garden Market
If you are. age 55 or older
and have excess produce,
you will want to know about
the Garden Market to be
organized soon.
Grayson County residents
age 55 and older are invited
to attend a meeting to be
held Friday, March 5, 9:30-
'Kindness begets kindness.”

Together,
we can
change things.
A Public Service ot This Newspaper Rffl
& The Advertising Council Snl
11:00 a.m., at Forest
Avenue Baptist Church,
Sherman, to discuss aspects
of organizing such a market.
It is hoped that a Governing
Board for the market will be
formed at this time, which
will begin immediately to
plan for its operation.
The Garden Market, to be
located in the parking lot of
Forest Avenue Baptist
Church, will fulfill two pur-
poses: to provide older citi-
zens an opportunity to turn
excess produce into cash,
and to provide the public a
place to shop for fresh, high-
quality local produce.
For more information, in-
terested persons are invited
to contact Mrs. Terry Reese,
County Extension Agent.
