BEAR CREEK PHILOSOPHER ALARMED
OVER WASHINGTON OUTFIT THAT HAS
TROUBLE SPENDING ALL ITS BUDGET
Editor’s note: The Bear Creek
Philosopher on his Johnson grass
farm has discovered a new prob-
lem, his letter this week reveals.
Dear editar:
I have read lots of amazing
news out of Washington, but I
read some the other day which
left me so amazed I haven't hit
a lick of work all week.
I’d gotten up that morning in-
tending to work a little, but
thought I’d first look over a news-
paper to maybe give me some-
thing to think about while I went
up one row and down another,
and sat down in the shade prop-
ped against a rear tractor tire
and started reading. It ruined
my working day.
According to an article that
jumped out at me from the front
page, Congress /as in a turmoil
recently because, when the time
came to appropriate three and
a half billion for the defense de-
partment, it was discovered the
department had failed to spend
several hundred million of the
money it got the previous year,
but not wanting to get caught in
such an unheard of position, the
department spent it all in the last
F-O-U-N-D !
Quick relief from agonizing
pain of Rheumatism, Ar-
thritis and kidney dis-

24 hours of the fiscal year.
Somebody in Washington is
slipping worse than I ever dream-
ed was possible, and I think
something ought to be done about
it immediately.
If Washington can't find men
who can spend all the money
Congress can appropriate, I’ll be
glad to help out, although I do
not believe there is a serious
shortage of such people in this
country and I believe Washing-
ton can find them if it tries.
There must be thousands of
people, serving on city councils,
at county seats, in state legisla-
tures, who wouldn’t have any
trouble at all spending more mon-
ey than anybody can budget.
It’s embarassing to Congress
and the country as a whole, es-
pecially to me, to find there are
people who have to rush out on
the last day of their fiscal year
and spend wildly in order to a-
void having a carry-over.
It's a problem I never have
encountered around here, but
would like to try.
Yours faithfully,
J. A.
