But the economists do some
hedging on these bets They
think the rate of advance in the
GNP will be slower in late 1965
than in the early months. They
see stability in industrial output
after the middle of 1965 And
they feel that the higher spend-
ing of consumers next year will
won. And, as always, the Department of the
Interior has been forced to explode them
Our suggestion to anyone who may be
tempted by “free land" promotions is that

any money on the line thev check the pro-
position out with the Department of the
Interior, Washington, D.C. 20240.
view of most businessmen.
On this basis a majority of the
Philadelphia meeting of the
National Association of Business
Economists agreed in a poll that
the total national output* of
goods and services should aver-
age $652 billion in 1965, a gain of
4 per cent over the record pace
this Gross National Product is
setting this year
And they forecast a 3 per cent
rise in industrial production,
and a 5 per cent increase in
consumer spending.
By now, the poll-takers have examined
just about every aspect of the presidential
electron campaign except one: the percentage
of voters who on Nov. 3 will turn their poll
tax receipts and registration certificates into
fishing licenses
We haven't made a survey of current
thoughts of voters in that regard But w?
have heard enough expressions of opinion
on the point to realize that the forthcoming
presidential election may be historic at least
from the standpoint of the number of voters
who will “go fishing" on that day.
For the sake of the record, it should per-
haps be explained that the term as it applies
to deliberate absenteeism originated with
organized labor. It was the excuse used by
workers wanting to slow down or halt pro- ■
duction of a plant or project with which they
were involved in a dispute but in a circum-
stance where they could not or preferred
not to be officially on strike.
The term first crept into the current
presidential election campaign through the
ranks of organized labor Some number of
its members indicated immediately after the
Republician National Convention that they
could not bring themselves to vote for either
Lyndon Johnson or Barry Goldwater and
would therefore “go fishing” on election day
■ In the past several weeks we have heard
a surprising number of people say they have
definitely decided or have been seriously
thinking of joining the ranks of the fisher-
men on Nov. 3. To us, this is a horrible
thought. But we must agree that it is an
indication of one of the most serious prob-
lems of our time.
This is the fact that despite opinions to

If tomorrow is your birthday, your horoscope
indicates that you are in a highly auspicious plane-
tary cycle, and that the next year should see the
achievement of many worthwhile goals For in-
stance job, business and financial matters will be
at their best between now and January 15, during
the first half of February, in mid-March, mid-
April. the first week of May, the last half of June
and in September While the year generally will
benefit creative workers, the next two weeks and
the first six months of 1965 should prove especially
inspiring Do make the best use possible of this
good period.
Your private Interests will also be In the ce-
lestial spotlight during the forthcoming year, with
emphasis on romance between early May and mid-
August; on travel and social activities during
urOctober, in March and mid-June-September period.
If you are careful to avoid friction in close circles
in late April and early August, you should expe-
rience unusual harmony in your domestic life
A child born on this day will be ambitious snd
self-reliant, but may have to curb a tendency to-
ward extreme secretiveness.
One of the drawbacks to the profession in which
I am engaged is that we have to spend a -great
deal of time in search of elusive information.
And sometimes you go far afield in the quest
of facts then suddenly discover to your dismay that
they have been right under your nose all along
Like with this lady editor over in Tuscaloosa,
Ala. Her name is Sara Walls and she edits for the
Gulf States Paper Corp a company - publication
called the News Bag
A few days ago I had a letter from Miss Walls.
She asked for my help in a search for information
for a series of stories she is writing on the 80-
year history of her organization.
A part of this history, her letter said, was
that one of the company's forerunners was the
E-Z Opener Bag Co., a concern which operated
In Orange from 1*12 to 1929.
At the time of receipt of this letter, my per-
sonal knowledge of the E-Z Opener Bag Co. was
a dim recolletion that somebody had once told me
a manufacturing plant with that name was in
business here in Orange for a number of years.
So, on a hunch, I telephoned Mrs. Frank DeLane,
keeper of the archives for the Stark Interests, in
the hope that she might know the whereabouts of
a file on the E-Z Opener Bag Co.
After listening to the reason for my call, Mrs.
DeLane chuckled Then she said:
“Write and tell this lady that if she will call
up my brother, Frank A Armstrong, there In Tus-
caloosa he can tell her all about it"
Then she explained that her brother had
started work for the Ez-Z Opener Bag Co. as a
young man and had transferred to Tuscaloosa
when the plant here was closed. He retired a
few years ago.
So I wrote to Miss Walls and advised her that
the facts she had gone far afield to seek were
city precautions which might
interfere with the performance
of their duties or their desire to
have frequent and easy access
to the people "
The commission went on to
call for more cooperation
among government investiga-
tive agencies in exchanging
information about possible as.
, sassins, asked that murder of a
president or vice president be
made a federal crime, suggest-
ed a Cabinet committee be

the contrary, morality in America is higher
than it has ever been and is still climbing. -
And’ it is morality, along with a few side
issues which is the underlying cause of the
hookless fishing that will take place next
election day, ton
It is morality that causes people who con--—
sider Johnson a great president but who are
so deeply distrubed by some of the things
they have heard and read about his political
and financial background that they are think-
ing of staying away from the polls on election
day.
It is morality that causes people who con-
sider Goldwater the answer to their prayers
for a great political leader in America but
who because of his confused position on the
nuclear issue and his vote against the civil
rights bill are thinking of joining those who
will not use their right of franchise on
Nov.'S. •• -
Our feeling, of course, is the one we have
expressed prior to every election held in
this area: That every voter who can possibly -
make it to the polls should participate. Either
Goldwater or Johnson will be the next
President of the United States and we would
hope that every qualified voter in the nation
will avail himself of the opportunity to help
make the choice.
At the same time, we consider it ap-
propriate to point out that the solution to
the problem which may keep many of them
from doing so does not lie with the voters
themselves. It can come only from the poli-
ticians and must be in the form of an ad-
justment in their morality to the level of the
morality of the voters at large. -

Which is one of the things I like most about
Orange. While its busiest executives have been
required to erect a few little walls around them-
selves in order to have time to get any work
at all done, they are probably the most ac-
cessible group of people in such positions to be
found anywhere.
Like the other day when I called the office
of one of them and he answered the phone When
I asked how come he answered, "My secretary

the FBI, in testimony before the
commission on this problem
had said
“The degree of security that
can be afforded the president of
the United States is dependent
to a considerable extent upon
the degree of contact with the
general public desired by the
president
"Absolute security is neither
practical nor possible An ap-
proach to complete security
would require the president to
operate in a sort of vacuum,
isolated from the general public
and behind impregnable bar-
riers His travel would be in
secret; his public appearances
woula be behind puplet - proof
glass."
No government agency, no
matter how good or big, could
possibly protect a president
against every nut who might get
loose in crowds of hundreds of
thousands.
,-----. Just one
admonition, however be careful in personal re-
lationships Some of those in your circle may be
on the "touchy" side.
In "Travels With Charley,"
Nobel Prize winning novelist
John Steinbeck tells of his talk
with a back -country store-
keeper Why, wondered Stein-
beck, have Americans ceased
arguing violently about public
affairs? "Well, sir." philoso-
phized the storekeeper, “you
can raise a wind any time over
the Pirates or the Yankees, but
I guess our best bet left is the
Russians Nobody can find fault
with you if you take after the
Russians Man has a fight with
his wife, he belts the Russians.
Yes, sir. those Russians got a
load to carry: Maybe everybody
needs them’ I’ll" bet even in
Russia they need Russians Only
there they call it Americans."
The many joys of living, the
many functions of the human
body that are normally taken
for granted, are completely for-
gotten during this period of pre-
occupation with illness.
Sometimes the sick person
feels that everyone who sur-
rounds him has an obligation to
concentrate, too. on his illness.
Support Tips
How can the family, living
with the chronically sick per-
son, offer him the greatest emo-
tional support, in addition to
supplying his physical needs'
1 Be patient, without being
oversolicitous.
2. If his anxiety is out of
proportion to the severity of hi*
illness, help him to seek the
professional guidance that will
give him greater reassurance
and comfort Spiritual and re-
ligious guidance can often give
excellent additional support to
that offered by the physician.
3. Urge him to take some ac-
tive part in hi* personal and
family affairs in order to In-
terrupt the constant concentra-
tion on his own illness.

"Judging from recent nationwide pro-
motional schemes, the gun has sounded on
the greatest ‘free public land' bonanza since
the Oklahoma land rush."
The department goes on to say that the
ballyhoo proclaims that federal lands have
been opened up to homesteading and that
fertile acreage is waiting for all who are
long on desire but short on cash
The cost? Why, it's free for the asking,
seer, and raised this question:
Should the Secret Service
continue to be trusted with a
president's safety or should this
job be turned over to some oth-
er federal agency'’
At once Johnson set up a pan-
el of top-ranking government
officials to examine the question
raised by the commission about
the Secret Service.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Presi-
dent Johnson has just shown the
huge gap in the very best pre-
cautions for guarding a presi-
dent's life unless the chief exec-
utive decides to live and operate
in seclusion
The Warren Commission over
the weekend, in its report on
President John F Kennedy’s
assassination, made a number
of recommendations to give a
president better protection from
killers in the future
The commission, recognizing
the reality of politics and the
many roles of a president in
American life, admitted:
"Exposure of the president
to public view through travel
among the people of this coun-
try is a great and historic tradi-
tion of American life” but "the
protection of the president.. . is
an immensely difficult and com-
plex task
"It is unlikely that measures
can be devised to eliminate
entirely the multitude of diverse
dangers that may arise, partic-
ularly when the president is
traveling in this country or
abroad
"The protective task is fur-
ther complicated by the reluc--
tance of presidents to rate secu-
change of information for pro-
tection of a president can be
rendered almost meaningless if
a president himself chooses to
take big chances
Johnson took big ones
All through New England —
Rhode Island, Connecticut, Ver-
mont, Maine — he moved
through surging, shouting
throngs of hundreds of thou-
sands, with people injured in the
crush along the streets
As Johnson rolled along in
cars and caravans, talking as
he went, one woman had to be
carried away in an ambulance
and a Secret Service agent
guarding the President had his
coat ripped and was forced to
tie his trousers with tape
But, as the commission has
acknowledged, a president
"cannot and will not take the
precautions of a dictator or a
soy ereign.”
