AUGUST STORK, Publisher

Everything I pick up to read, or when I tune in trying to find a station with no drama, it seems run into the “youth problem.” Youth delinquency. Everybody seems to want to throw up their hands and give up. It gives me a pain — quite sizable. The whole affair is no “youth problem” at all — it

TAX DODGERS

Away out in a western state a privately-owned electric power company serves a sparsely settled area covering hundreds of miles of territory. Its lines cross high mountains, burning deserts and turbulent rivers. It is typical of companies that pioneered electrical developments in every part of this nation. It was financed with the savings of men and women who took a chance of making a return on their money by building empires where none had existed before. Today, Federal power projects, with their government subsidies and tax exemptions, are doing their utmost to invade the territories served by such private companies. Political management has not proved itself to be an acceptable substitute for free enterprise or private management. Government projects do not pay Federal taxes. The amount of state and local taxes paid by Federal projects is not determinable. Immunity from taxation, such as they enjoy; is inexcusable special privilege—actually rate rebates. It in effect subsidizes those served by pub-licly-owned institutions at the expense of other taxpayers. No hope is offered that should public ownership replace private ownership, higher taxes would not be levied to compensate for those now being paid by private management. Such facts as these should be repeated over and over so the

is mostly a “mama and papa problem.” Delin quency begins at home. No social worker is gonna do anything about it, in particular, except keep a nice job by talking about it and by keeping the lunch clubs in a lather on how to fix it.

Jar Robbers Are Different This Year It is now thought that red rubber will be available for jar rings this year but there will be no cause for alarm if the rubbers you buy turn out to be black. It is the rubber, not the color, that counts. True, you may be a bit startled when you open your first package of the war models. “But what of it?” asks Gladys Kimbrough, Home Service Director of Ball Brothers Company, “Our grandmothers got along well enough with lipless rubbers and so can we.”

And back to the mamas and papas — the cavorting ones—the ones who allow their off-spring to run wild versus staying home themselves and keeping the youngsters under control. These cavorters will disappear in time. The wheel chair or the undertaker will finally get them. The mamas and papas of tomorrow will be the Girl Scouts and the Boy Scouts of today. We can rely upon them. They will be in the saddle 15 years hence. In the meantime, the police can handle the bad eggs quite handily if the uplifters don’t barge in. A zoot-suiter should be no great problem.

Put Your Payroll Savings on a Family Basis Make 10 per cent Just a Starting Point

Months ago, manufacturers began experiments to learn how to make jar rings that would conserve both rubber and food—the government set its scientists to the same task. One of the first things upon which all agreed was that lips are unnecessary for opening jars. The point of a thin knife can be run under the rubber to make a tiny space for air to seep through and break the seal. It is then easy to remove cap or lid. It was also agreed that jar rings could be a small fraction of an inch narrower but the thickness must remain at the pre-war standard.

NOTICE TO FARMERS WITH JOHNSON GRASS

War-time rubbers will keep jars sealed air-tight, but they won’t stand abuse. To get good results, break yourself of that never-good habit of stretching to test and follow these four simple rules:

people will understand the issue, and realize that they pay the bill through higher taxes whenever they decide to kick out private enterprise in favor of socialized government-owned industry.

A large shipment of Sodium Chlorate is being received in the County to be used as a weed killer.

This material can be sprayed or broadcast on small patches of Johnson Grass and if applied properly, will completely eradicate them.

1. Wash and rinse rubbers. Boil them to sterilize if you can fruits the old-fashioned open-kettle way. If processing is to be done, drop the rubbers in boiling water and set aside until needed.

Mr. and Mrs. David I. Day Jr. and little daughter and Miss Jeanne Fuller of Indianapolis spent the fourth of July holidays in this vicinity with relatives.

GULFPRIDE keeps your engine smooth and sweet because it’s the only oil in the world refined from 100% Pure Pennsylvania crude and then rerefined by Gulf’s patented Alchlor Process. All waste is removed! Try this world’s finest motor oil.

2. Have rubbers wet when they are used—and be sure that each rubber lies flat on the sealing surface of the jar.

If you are interested in securing some of this material, contact the County Agent’s Office immediately for further information.

3. Partly seal all jars before processing.

Any excuse you can give for not upping your payroll savings will please Hitler, Hirohito and puppet Mussolini.

4. Screw zinc caps and bands on glass top seal closures slowly when sealing, as quick or jerky turns cause rubbers to slip out of position.

Mr. and Mlrs. Arch Rhodes of Boonville spent Monday with Mr and Mrs. Ernie Steins.
