plant It has svjrwn the city with I "stand-by” service and additional power needs during the past sev- ! en years. The Company demonstrated a fine spirit of coopera lion, which made it possible for our electric utility to carry on in supplying Industry, home own ers. stores and the rural lines with sufficient current during a decade of rapid growth In terminating the contract next June, the city should say "thank you” to the present utility management for an appreciated service during past years o o Mayor Doan and the city council have decided to expand the municipal power plant with a Dieeel unit, the building to be locat- • <1 on city property on North Seventh street, facing Dayton Avenue on the north Officials claim that this unit will give the utility a reserve for future expansion and will be more economical to operate than a steam generated power plant It will be the first time that the city has embarked on an oil burning power unit, a change which railroads, Individ uals and many industries are making these days In view of high coal prices. One tiling is certain, this city must keep up with demands for electric power and those in charge are expected to provide a plant that will not only meet this demand, hut allow for future growth. In this respect city officials say that the Diesel < ngine auxiliary plant will meet present and future |>ower needs for a growing city. o- o —— Luxury Taxes: The proposal to reduce federal “luxury" taxes to the (ire war level suddenly has come to life again It is a very pleasant idea, and enactment of the cut would be an especially happy occasion for taxpayers, who are usually glad to see any kind of a tax cut The "luxury" taxes have been and are annoying to those who |iay them Hut r<duction of them would be a luxury we are not at , the moment prepar'd to pay for It is variously estimated ttiat th* ixcise tax cuts now proposed in the Srnate would cost from 550 to 7"><i millions in lost revenue. Where would the money come from to supplant that amount? For the year just •tided the government w«nt Into the red by nearly two billion dollars. Con gl-ess has not finished appropriating money for the year now started. but the most optimistic hope is that the budget for this year might possibly come within two billions or so of a balance Con- , gross does not seem to be in a mood for enacting new taxes; neither does it seem amenable to any id«a of cutting expenditures. Any tax cut would merely mean a bigger deficit. Unless we are willing to go further Into d< bt for the sake of < Utting the excise taxes, a policy generally lacking In wisdom, we’ll have to go on paying them until we are r«ady to pay other, taxes Instead, or to got along with less expensive government

Homemaking Tips by Anna K. Williams Bargains Many homemakers will be looking for bargains during the sum met "white sales.” however, a bargain may not always be a bargain. Here are some suggestions to help the homemaker get her money’s worth. When buying sheets, look for those with firm weave, little sizing, torn fabric, which will help to hold the shape of the sheet and hems with strong, short, even stitches. The homemaker can examine for closeness and evenness of weave by holding the sheet to the light. For good wearing quality, the weave ought to be firm. There should be about the same number of crosswise as up-and down yarns. Some homemakers test for the amount of sizing (although not always a reliable test I by rubbing a i orner of the sheet between their hands. If a considerable amount of siting is present. It may be covering up a coarsely woven fabric This will show up after one or two washings For longer wear the homemaker will select sheets with tape type salvages; these have extra yarns woven In for reinforcement and strong finish on the outside edge For easier bed-making and comfort to the sleeper, the sheets should be long enough Thick mattrrsses n-ed wider sheets. Those for a single bed should be 63 or ! 72 inches wide and 99 or lox inches I long and XI or 9b Inches wide and ‘ 99 or l»x inches long for a double bed. A good label will tell more than the size of the sheet. It will tn< hide the torn size before hemming; the thread count, warp and filling; the .PAPERBOY )....!

Well Planned Area Meets Family's Needs Rooms of the well-planned sleeping area will be located together in the quiet part of the home. To meet the needs of the family, the sleeping area needs careful plan | nlng Many Indiana rural families prefer three bedrooms. Tills provides one bedroom for parents, one for boys, and one for girls Most bedrooms need only one door which should open into a short hallway j leading to the bathroom In a twostory house many rural families' like to have one bedroom and at least one-half bath downstairs. Bedroom size should never be cut below that space necessary for a double bed and necessary passageway between essential prices of furniture. To provide enough space j for necessary furniture and one, chair, the floor space should not be less than KMI feet Somewhat larger rooms are preferable if the family can afford the additional, cost. x Location of the windows and, doors is also important. Locate doorways near room corners if i possible. The well-planned sleep-: ing area will provide one un I broken wall space for the bed I Double bed takes 414 x 7 I* et ' floor space in addition to IVi feet I of apace to permit bed making without moving the bed. To provide good ventilation, windows in two walls are preferred. When that is not possible, two or more windows may be placed on one wall for good air circulation and good daylighting.
