Character: Character is higher than intellect and outranks every other talent in value. Tuesday marked the close of a career for J. Clifford As Mayor of Murray ten years in this span and another term earlier, he became so much a part of our city that some outside its confines came to speak of Murray as "Cliff Hansen's town". Maybe, in some respects, it has been. He entered the field of service to the public more than 20 years ago. For those whose memory is short or who have not heard the story of Murray's upsurge, the city for which he went to work was as poor as the proverbial church mouse. Its warrants were useless bits of paper and its credit Which is not to say Cliff Hansen alone took upon himself the financial burdens of Murray and brought our town Hansen. The following illustration is from the December, 1957 Coronet Magazine: At the close of the war between the states, a representative of an insurance company financially-solve- situation. nt But it is idency 510,-00- Imiii- - mitiii "Depression"' Talk Has No Basis Willi Nation's Economic Status There's something about the first part of a new year that seems to strike terror in some people. Buyers slow down their purchases; alarmed businessmen tighten their and that nasty word, "depression" creeps into dismal purse-strin- gs conversations. It's not too strange, for our nation has certainly been visited by depression before. And these arc generally-accepte- d earmarks of such a business slump, 'tis true. But many things must combine to create economic chaos and one of the primary ones is that the government must be powerless to halt the tide. Today, unlike the fatal days of 1929, Uncle Sam is very much in position to strangle an economic collapse. In fact, as one can judge from the amount of taxes he pays, government is such big business today that it could no more allow a financial tumble than the average citizen could afford it. Employment isn't the only reason Uncle Sam is in the driver's scat. A great many people are already on government-subsidized pensions. The frcdcral government has billions of dollars worth of spending power earmarked for defense industries. And Uncle Sam "is no longer an uneducated oaf when it comes to the skillful manipulation of his spending power to keep a prosperous aura across the land. It is entirely possible, financial experts admit, that the steady boom of the postwar years has reached a levelling off. But there are still 65 million Americans with jobs and only three million without and that is certainly not the proper component for a depression. rhcrc is no slump in which is expected to be better next year than this. Nor in the overall construction picture, from roads to schools. And defense spending will go higher in '58 after being curtailed during much of the year just ended. AH in all, there's little reason for pessimism among today's Americans. They may have to accept a halt in the upward spiral of income and live on today's salaries. They may have to deny themselves a few luxuries until the tension slips away and spending loosens. But just about every financial expert denies depression talk and only the more pesscmistic even whisper of recession. Besides depressions arc made by the people, for their is fuel of our economy. the spending - home-buildin- g, - Murrayite Promoted To Yeoman 3rd Class The Navy Department announced Dec. 1. the promotion of Robert L.

Dawson to Congressmen returning most concerned are Washington with seeing that adequate appropriations are made next year for the nation's defense program. I am happy to report, however, that my meetings with Congressional leaders have convinced me that they are not going to fall victims to the annual disease some call "Pentagon Panic." Concerned as we are with Russian missile progress, those I have talked to feel that the situation does not require tremendous increases in Defense costs at the expense of our worthwhile domestic programs or our economic stability. TKEMEXDOrs I'RESSI KE Each year, tremendous pressure is brought upon Congress to increase appropriations for all Each branches of government. year to a greater or lesser degree, Congress resists that pressure. This year spurred by Sputnik -- - we can expect even greater pressures. I am convinced, however, that the needed additional appropriations for missiles research and development can be financed almost entirely out of savings to be made in other areas of defense spending. COSTLY RIVALRY One fruitful field for harveste rivaling savings is in a ry. Early last month letter to Chairman Clarence Cannon of the House Appropriations means of cutting down this I suggested a Committee rivalry in the field of missiles research.

In a little known and seldom studied law the legislators require, that to be classified as a newspaper, and to be eligible for legal advertising, the paper must have "editorial comments". The law is Article 76, Section 8 of the Annodated Code of Maryland, dealing with publication laws. It is headed: "Definition of newspaper as used in any law ordinance, resolution, decree, or order of court. The term paper, newspaper, newspaper in general circulation, newspaper devoted to dessemination of general news or terms of similar import, shall be defined as a publication have the following requirements." At least four pages, habitually containing news items, legal and general intelligence, reports of current events, editorial comments, advertising matter and other miscellaneous information for publication, generally found in the ordinary newspaper. It must be published and distributed for sale at least once a week from an established place of business and must have been so published and distributed during the preceeding six months. It must have general circulation throughout the community in which it is published. And it must be entitled to be entered as second class matter in the U. S.

There is Just one way to build character and hold the confidence of people, and that is to be worthy of it and never allow an jxception. What a delight to do business with one who is working in his client's best interests and whose word can be depended upon. Character makes for good morals, but it also makes for good public relations. Spurgeon said of Gladstone, "We believe in no man's Infallibility, but it is restful to feel sure of even one man's integrity." g. whose intentions have always been good even though his methods were questioned in some circles. We are interested today in paying just tribute to a city official who has labored well in his elected task and deserves a pat on the back as recognition of achievements. He is not the first man to be defeated politically; nor will he be the last. He docs not represent the first city official who fell sufficiently from favor to lose his office. Like instances arc documented in voting records of nearly every political division. So we pause to express deserved congratulations for a done. We say thanks to this man, on behalf of a well job town we're sure has a measure of gratitude to offer. We know that long after the issues of the November election are forgotten, people will view the progress of Murray during the Hansen administration and know they were not poorly guided. Lvcn in a labor of love, such as this office represented to Cliff Hansen, it is possible to err.

Oftentimes he bulled his way through objections; occasionally he stepped on toes which belonged to people with long memories. Sometimes he was wrong, though he seldom admitted it. Nonecontrotheless, his batting average on the versy was well over the .500 mark. If Giff Hansen had a notable weak spot, it was his public relations.
