If alb the dikes; suddenly were removed, gb most half of Holland would disappear Under water. ‘ ' This existence requires eternal, vigilance. No other nation defies nature on the Putch scale. Bunday’s l storm called attention again, to thf miracle of human ingenuity that ijnade Holland possible. • Its Story goes back tp before when,; tbe sea began to sweep,over Holland’s low-lying shores. The re'treatipg Dutch realized only a barrier cpuld save the nation. A vast, systerjt of dikes came into .being In tbe 12th and 13th centuries. About 1500 the people conceived the idea of harnessing wind power to drajin land. Windmills were born, and with their help during the next ; if ill ' -I ’ • ’ '

three centuries the heart of ndrth Holland was laid dry and fertile 12 feet below sea level. ' But tbe population more than kept pace with reclaimed land. In half a century Holland doubled its population, from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000. That is why the 450,000 acres flooded Sunday are so precious. But while that iand is being retrieved, the Dutch are proceeding to take another deep bite into tbe Zuider Zee, from which they forced 168,000'acres between 1918 and 1932. Now they are squeezing the water from an additional 390,000 acres. First, engineers find an area btf the coast where the bottom is not too salty and gives promise of tillable soil. A dike is built and the water pumped out. Finally, the recovered land is planted with a rotation of crops that gradually works out the sea salt. The first Zuider Zee project took 14 years. The two sections of the dam holding the North Sea in check are 20 miles tong. Greater plans are in the making. Even while rescue work was underway in Sunday’s floods, an official proposed that most of tbe flooded area be linked to a single great protecting dike —a staggering project. He knew this little country can do it.

History-Breaking Tax Collections Over 68 Billions Paid During 1952 WASHINGTON UP —The goteminent rang up a history-break-ing $58,502,564,268 in taxes in 1952, Internal revenue bureau figureis showed today. Individual taxpayers chipped in with a little more than half the total while corporations accounted for a quarter. The rest came from levies on such items as liquor, narcotics, telephone calls, and fishing rods. The bureau reported that tag collections during the last sig months of 1952 totalled $27,933,555,640. Collections for the previous six months totalled $40,569,008,628. , The bureau aaid collections for the second hslf of 1952 topped the first half in every major category and ran about $3,500,000,000 ahead of tbe first six months of 1951. Tax collections normally run higher in the first half of the calendar year because of the March 15 tax deadline. Individual Income tax payments in the last six monthq of 1952 wftre $14,695,000,000, including >11488,000.000 withheld from workerS‘ pay envelopes. Corporation income and excess profits taxes in the same time totalled $7,821,000,000. -i Other major sources of federal .revenue included taxes on alcohol. $1,482,000,000; tobapco, $845,000,000 “excise” taxes, on manufactured goods, $1,353,000,000, and miscellaneous taxes $1,082,000,000.

1,465 Forms Signed for 1953 Program Winfred L. Gerke, chairman of the Adams county PMA committee, stated that "Notices of approved practices’* ' for the 1953 ACP program were mailed to all farmers who had signed a farm plan prior to December 31. Gerke states that 1,465 farms have been signed up to participate ip the 1953 program. He* points out that this year, notices have been mailed much earlier than usual. This gives farm* ers an opportunity to plan ahead and to make early arrangements for the conservation materials tiiey may need in carrying out approved agricultural conservation program practices. Where steps are taken to obtain necessary materials it will mean not only having the material when It is needed but it will be a definite help to dealers and distributors! in ordering supplies. This applies parttcularly to grass and legune seed and •to fertilisers, be says. When a distributor or dealer knows a-Mead-of is needed, he canget his orders in and hav? the materials available when the tinie comes to use them. [ . | Monthly Report Is Made By Red Cross \ - ; The Rod Cross office assisted 15 servicemen and their dependents: seven veterans and their dependents and eight civilians during January, the monthly report of the service organisation shows. Limited service was extended in 13 cases. One volunteer donated 54 hours of work to the Red Cross during the month and 28 others contributed a total of 215 hours. J The report, prepared by Mrs. Max Schafer, secretary shows a total of 720 Rod Cross services for the past month. — Trade in a Good Town—Decatur!
