The 1972edition of the Farm-
er's Tax Guide is now avail,
able. In Cherokee County,
copias of this Guide have been
placed in the six banks within
the County so that they will be
easily available to all who
wish to have a copy.
This Guide gives a fairly
complete discussion of both
income tax and self employ-
ment tax as they relate to
the farming enterprise.
I understand that there have
been some changes since last
year. So, whether you figure
your own tax or someone else
figures it, you could benefit
by being familiar with infor-
mation in the guide. I also
have a limited number avail-
able from my office

Bill Lofland, one of our ab-
sentee operators who has a
small beef operation in the
Central High Community, was
by this week for a short vis-
it. Bill tells me that he is
wintering his cows on dry
grass and liquid protein sup-
plement. He says they are do-
ing fine and still refuse hay.
Some producers in Cherokee
County are having to hay cat-
tle regularly due to short
grass; out there are still quite
a few getting by on dry grass
and supplement. I very often
get asked the question,"
"which is better, liquid
supplement or dry supple-
ment?" There is no pat
answer. In considering which
one to use, you definitely need
to consider the nutrient con-
tent of the supplement, the
price relationship and how
you plan to handle your feed-
ing progra'm. Either supple-
ment is satisfactory when
properly utilized. Very of-
ten there are substantial price
differences in supplements
when content is considered.

Our agricultural economists
say that new economic meas-
ures and some natural hap.
penings are brightening the
farm income outlook. They
say that increasing demand,
larger marketing, and some
moderation in rising costs,
should enable farmers to en-
joy better incomes in 1972.

Spread Influence In '72
The packages are gone from beneath the tree with wrapping
paper, smashed bows and lots of sticky scotch tape flUing
the trash cans all over the city. The tinsel doesn't gleam
near as bright on that tree that you meant to take down yes.
terday. Noses are being turned up atthe thought of chicken
and dressing, pie or cake.
If there are kids in the house, then i you can't walk through
the living room. And to make matters worse, you probably
had to go to work Monday morning. And, of course, the
company didn't leave until late Sunday afternoon.
A couple of good things to think about. The Cowboys won
the divisional playoffs so they'll be playing again. The kids
are occupied momentarily with new toys, you saw a friend you
hadn't seen in years, and the new year is fast approaching.
1972 is just ar<\md the corner and there are resolutions to
be made and promptly forgotten or maybe carried throughout
the year.
Regardless of what's been in 1971 we must all strive to
make things better in 1972.
We, as individuals, make a year what it is. Good or bad, it's
what we make it. Devasting thought, isn't it? We must start
by using our influence in any way we can.
Our church. When was the last time you volunteered to
put out an effort in your church? Perhaps by taking the place
of a teacher who is ill, or singing in the choir, or attending
the evening worship service.
Our clubs. Attend regularly, serve on a committee, offer
suggestions.
Our schools. Attend PTA and show an interest in our child-
ren. Visit the school.
Our city. Show an interest in plans of the city government
and voice your opinion when you feel you have a good point.
Starr small and soon you'll be making every year a great
one. 1972 has much to offer to you, to our city, and to our
country. This year is a Presidential election year with
many national, state, county and local elections. Show an
interest in our government by registering to vote and choosing;
a worthy candidate for whom to vote. This is one way to*
spread your influence straight to the top!
A RESOLUTION FOR ALL AMERICA
It used io be popular to make New Year's Resolutions.
We'd make them in all good faith, keep them awhile, and
then let them fall by the wayside.
Suppose, for a moment, that all of us decided to make
the same resolution for 1972—a resolution based on a
philosophy recently expressed by President Nixon when he
said: "Hard work is what built America, and it is time in
this country that we demonstrate a new appreciation of
work and what it means."
If every American pledged himself to work harder at his
job, to give it all he's got, to turn out better products, to
provide better service—think what it would mean to our
economic well-being and general prosperity. Once again
we would have pride in our jobs. We would have confi-
dence in the things we buy, in the services we use.
LETS HAVE A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR
And if the "let's get back to work" philoso
Jtiiiosophy really
s of able-bodied
Americans now on welfare would accept any job that
comes along and stop refusing jobs they consider menial.
President Nixon had an answer for those people. He
said: "I guess every job my father had was a menial job,
but any job that puts food on the table and buys shelter
and clothing and education for a man's family is not a
menial job. Let's recognize that in America, once and for
all. Let us recognize that the only thing demeaning in
America is for one man to refuse to work and to let an-
other man who does work pay taxes to keep him on wel-
fare. Any work is preferable to welfare."
So, our resolve for 1972: Let's get back to work I
Throughout the past year the folks at Seseo have helped you
live a little bit better electrically. We have warmed and
cooled your home. We've helped you cook, clean, wash
dry. We've made life a little more luxurious with electric
hair dryers, curlers, razors, toothbrushes, shoe
polishers. We've brought you the entertainment of
radio, television or stereo music. And in 1972
we at Seseo will continue to provide you

Every housewife loves a
contest if she thinks she has
a chance to win. So every lass
who ever reaped a rave notice
on a chicken recipe will want
to enter the National Chicken
Cooking Contest which is now
under way.
Some lucky cook will be
$10,000 richer after May 20,
1972. And dozens of others
will cop prizes of $150 to
$5,000. Each of the 51 final-
ists (one from each state and
the District of Columbia) will
win an all expense-paid trip
to Birmingham, Alabama, for
the national cook-off, plus
$100 cash. They'll also receive
a trophy, a year's supply of
Ac'cent, Alcoa Wrap and Ma-
zola corn oil, a 7-piece Wear-
Ever Bounty Cookware set,
and a Cutco Cutlery Carving
Set.
Chicken is such a popular
and versatile food that home-
makers should enjoy cooking
up a storm of new recipes,
particularly When they can
get bonus prizes of $150. The
bonus will be on recipes that
emphasize low-calorie con-
tent, low cost, use of livers
and giblets, hors d'oeuvre or
snacks, outdoor grill ideas,
and quick-and-easy prepara-
tions.
Entry forms should be
available in some super-
markets early in 1972. But
they can be obtained by send-
ing a stamped, self-addressed
letter to the National Chicken
Cooking Contest, Suite 1100,
551 Fifth Ave., New York
N Y. 10017. The contest closes
March 31,1972 and each rec-
ipe (you can send as many as
you like) must be accom-
panied by an entry form.

by PETER G. HAMMOND
Executive Director, National
Coordinating Council on Drug Education
Finding staff for drug abuse
programs is a difficult but
critical part of any drug pro-
gram. Good staffers are found
to be: dedicated and selfless;
flexible; aware of their own
fragile humanity, but strong
enough to use it in someone
else's behalf; trustworthy;
able to laugh even when life
is full of tears; and able to
make contact with people on
a one-to-one basis.
They must look past the im-
mediate symptom to the cause.
They must be objective, ana-
lytical and thoroughly pro-
fessional. And finally, a staff
cannot give up. The man or
woman, who comes to a crisis
center and other treatment
programs, has all but given
up, and it is up to the staff to
restore the courage to try
again.
No such single staffer com-
bines all of the skills. Instead,
a staff should be assembled
that combines these qualities,
that offers a collective re-
source of patience, imagina-
tion and genuine love of fellow
man. The staff should include •:
experienced drug users, who •:
know firsthand what it feel3 :
like to have an acid flush or i
to suddenly come unglued and :
disoriented. Professional ;
medical and psychological ¡
help must be available, per-
haps on a shared-time or :•
periodic basis. Legal services \
are another part of the pack- •
age. Someone ought to be on •
the staff—perhaps help put ;
it together—who is part of j
the neighborhood, and who :
can be the bridge between I
well-meaning but non-resi- :
dent professionals and the
citizens of the neighborhood :
who must trust these new- !
comers. Clerical and support :
staff is always needed.
Should ex-addicts be hired ? •
This question will be an- j
swered in a future Grass- :
root's column.

"Recent major settlements
in other industries have all

The Rusk Lions Club is lead,
ing the field in our particu.
lar group in the District Con-
test. Rusk Lions 3360 points
and the nearest to us is the
Alto Lions Club with 2690
points. We are second in the
entire district, A few more
new members, visitation to
another Lions Club with five
or more members, etc. will
put us over the top.
Lion Dr. Jerry Landrum
presented the program last
Thursday consisting of three
beautiful young ladies from
the Rusk High School, Misses
Susan Harper, Brenda Moore
and Cindy Self, They present-
ed in song "White Christ-
mas", "Silver Bells", "I
Heard The Bells On Christ-
mas Day" and closing with
everybody singing "Silent
Night", This program made
'everything just right for Ch-
ristmas. The ladies were very
good and we hope they come
back and sing for us real
soon.
From Gladys Taber, "What
the new year will bring, we
cannot know. 1 think of the year
that has been folded away in
time. There has been much
good in it, although some sor-
row. But there are always,
memories, and I shall cher-
ish them. Life is not, for the
most of us, a pageant of sp-
lendor but is made up of many
small things, rather like an
old-fashioned piecework qu-
ilt. No two people have the
same, but we all have our
own, whether it be listening
to Beethoven's Fifth with a
beloved friend or seeing a
neighbor at the back door with
a basket of white dahlias.
Or after a long, hard day
having the family say, 'That
was a good supper."Unquote.
So it is that January and a
new year will be this week-
end.
January is Founders and Re-
dedication Month. During this
month members throughout'
the world will be paying thai'
deserved tribute to them. "Ill'

You can see by the car tracks that people are going
places despite the heavy snows. Others, like you and
me. perhaps, are going places because of it—because
the new-fallen snow is beautiful and we want to en-
joy it and look at the pictures it makes on the land-
scape. Also, that frosty, crackly wind that comés
with the first snows blows roses in our cheeks and
new energy and expectations into our hearts. We
can't wait to get out and do things and be with
people.
A New Year is upon us. What wonderful things this
year can bring. Does the New Year lying before you,
with its promise, fill you with new life and excited
expectations like the new snow mentioned above?
May your New Year be a happy and prosperous
one. and may you find areat peace every day
through worship and spiritual blessings each week
through attending church.
