From Where We Stand...
Federal-State Tax Sharing Plan
If the historic concept of Federa
lism a sharing of responsibility and
power between the federal government
and the individual states is to sur
vive, we must restore a working balance
between the two. At present, the see
saw is tilted in favor of the national
interests at an angle that threatens to
hurl the state governments right out of
the play yard.
One of the several plans for allow
ing individual states to keep part of
their tax money at home may be part
of the answer to restoring some sem
blance of balance.
The argument in favor of doing
so has several important points in its
lavor
1— Permitting states to retain a
larger share of what they earn in tax
revenues will enable them to more
vitally carry out their individual respon
sibilities to their citizens, and make
them less federally dependent.
2 What’s the sense of sending tax
dollars to Washington so that some en
trenched bureaucrats can perpetuate
themselves by doling out federal grants,
as they see fit, to the respective states 0
3 As the federal budget has
grown, moie and more money has been
allocated to such important domestic
fields as education, public health, trans
portation, and housing In many cases,
this federal money has gone directly to
municipalities, bypassing state govern
ments entirely Elected state officials
are often put in the position of being
responsible to the voters for programs
which they have no authority to ad
minister
For our system of government to
work effectively, and to survive, the
federal and state branches have to work
as partners The present, strict boss-
relationship could be fatal.
Whale it is true that states have
often invited federal intervention by
vacuum within their
and as we learned in sixth

FARM SHOW WEATHER?
Well maybe. Temperatures
thiough next Wednesday will
aveiage below the normal 39
to 24 degree range, says the
weatherman. Seasonable tem
peratures are expected over
the weekend, turning cold
er Monday.
The big question at this
time is how much of what
kind of precipitation we can
expect? Snow or rain is an
ticipated Saturday, continu
ing into Sunday. This one
shouldn’t be too bad. The
trouble spot will be about
midweek. Again, weather
man says rain or snow, but
gives no guestimate on
amount But, as every Farm
Show goer knows, the Show
tames along its own special
biand of weathei, and it
doesn’t rely on any scientific
weather foiecaster so,
Watch Out!

true, we feel, that this plan to provide
states with the right to treat their own
wounds with retained tax dollars is a
step in the right direction.
Hopefully, it is one of the many
bright prospects which the new, 90th
Congress will bring to fruition.

State's Consumers Target Of
51st Farm Show
With the theme “A Progressive
Agriculture Benefits You The-Con
sumer”, the 51st Pennsylvania Farm
Show in Harrisburg next week will
focus attention of the more than 12-
million consumers in the Keystone State
to the wonders of Pennsylvania agricul
ture.
Thousands of city and small town
folks are attracted each year to this
mammoth show now the largest free
indoor agricultural exposition in the
United States under one roof. It is tradi
tionally a showplace for Pennsylvania’s
diverse agricultural products.
Governor William W. Scranton said
in the Farm Show program that the
exhibits will include “the finest pro
ducts that come from field and orchard,
and some of the best livestock and
poultry that are to be found anywhere ”
The theme of the 51st Farm Show
“is a token portrayal of the substance
and services that link farm and dinner
table The energy that goes into this
great exposition, and the high quality
that is evident in all departments, con
firm agriculture’s potential for provid
ing a continuing supply of consumers’
most important need,” Scranton said.
The 1967 Farm Show will open at
8 a.m., Monday, January 9, and will
officially close on Friday the 13th, at 2
p.m. Last year’s 700,000 estimated atten
dance smashed all records. Farm Show
officials are hopeful that 1967 will be
the biggest year yet as the Farm Show
goes into its second half century of pro
gress.

To Use Pig and Lamb Brooders
New-born pigs and lambs born during
the winter months in unheated buildings,
need some special attention if they are to
survive One of the veiy important manage
ment practices is to get the new-born animal
dry and get it to nursing its mother If the
animal gets chilled that first hour, then many
problems may develop The brooder from
which heat can be put into the pen will save
many animals and pay for itself many times

icnt testimony to the power of
ayer in healing today.
Wc have been mistaken in
•caking of Christ’s salvation a*
.clusivcly n matter of the soul,
i the New Testament salvation
ay mean healing, help or dehv
aiice, ns well ns the cure of the
iul. Salvation meant '’whole
ess" and this was Christ’s pur
pose: to make men whole. Disease
and sickness were just as con
trary to the will of God and alien
to his kingdom as sin. .lesus. thus,
did not come to save )ust souls,
but to save people mind, body,
and spirit.
