Names Choosen
For Hurricanes
U your first name is Arlene,
Beulah, Chloe, Debra or Edith,
be prepared for some good- fla-tured
kidding when this year's
hurricane begin blowing up from
the Caribbean orthe Gulf of Mexico.
The Nassau County Office of
Civil Defense today announced
that these are the names chosen to
identify the first five tropical
storms of the up- coming storm
season.
If your first name is Fern,
Ginger, Heidi, Irene, Janice,
Kristy, Laura, Margo, Nona, Orchid,
Portia, Rachel, Sandra,
Terese, Verna or Wallis, your
turn to be the object of unfavorable
reports on the air and in
the press will come soon enough.
These are the remaining names
chosen to identify the subsequent
storms expected during the 1967
season.
Gen. Joseph A. Bulger, Nassau
County CD Director, said the U. S.
Weather Bureau does the actual
naming of hurricanes and then
notifies all agencies concerned
with protection against storms
and natural disasters. The weather
Bureau, he said, chooses
female names to identify big,
bad storms because this method
is shorter, quicker, and less
subject to error than the older
methods of identification by latitude-
longitude location.
The use of easily- remembered
names greatly reduces confus-sion
when two or more tropical
storms occur at the same time
such as when one storm moves
westward in the Gulf of Mexico
and another moves northward
along the Atlantic coast. General
Bulger pointed out that the names
that are chosen are not meant to
cast aspersion on ay particular
females but are selected simply
because they are easy to pronounce
and remember. A set
of names is used every four
years on a rotation basis and
if a hurricane seriously affects
the U. S., the name' is retired
for ten years.

Q- Do you favor the income tax increase which the administration
is demanding?
A- No, I would be more sympathetic toward such a demand if we could
be assured that spending by the federal government would be cut.
But if President Johnson's past policies are any guide, spending
will far outstrip any revenues raised through a tax hike, and future
deficits might dwarf the horrendous $ 29- billiondeficit now in prospect.
The President, who's been telling us that the VietNam War
should have no effect on domestic programs — that we can have
both guns and butter — is now calling desperately for a tax
boost. He shouldn't need any suggestions for areas in which he
he can economize, but I'll point to just a few. We could very
liberally slash foreign aid, particularly to such " friends" as
Egypt and India. And we could cut deeply in the field of federal
employment. Mr. Johnson supposedly froze federal employment
at the July 1, 1966, level, but added more than 131,000 employees
during the eight months thereafter. That's an average addition
of 800 new federal employees every working day.
