Fishermen of the area are reminded that this is 1956 and if you haven’t gotten a new fishing and hunting license, you should do so soon. In a few weeks northern Indiana's lakes will'be a calling. —-41 ft—— Gradually now baseball will steal the big type on the sport pages of the newspapers of the nation and in about a month, the races will start in the two major leagues which will come to a grand finale next fall with the World Series. ft—ft The Influenza bug has visited hundreds of homes In the Decatur area in the last few weeks and has caused a great amount of suffering. It is a serious but perhaps not critical ailment. The first thing you should do it you get a sore throat, all-day headache or head cold, is go to a doctor immediately. He will save you days of suffering. The next thing to do is go to bed. Os course If you have the flue, you don’t need to be told the second thing to do, for you’ll go to bed alright. . o 0 Willshire, O. high school’s fine basketball team has come through with colors flying in our neighboring state and will go to Toledo, O. next Saturday to take part in the Class B semi-finals. The Ohio tourney Is split in two divisions and their system of tourneys is a little different, but it all comes out the same. U Willshire, undefeated all season, wins, at Toledo, it will go to the finals again at Cincinnati in two weeks. We wish our neighboring school the very best of luck. Young men and women graduating from Decatur high schools this year should give a lot of serious thought to the future. Os course, there are jobs available right now; jobs which will pay much better than average. However, young people, fresh out of high school forget that it there should be a lay-off they’d be the first to feel it Best thing for these young-men and- women to do is to continue in college. The more education they have, the less chance they encounter of being out of work, once they have started.

Many of the more prominent economists still predict a favorable first six months for business in 1956, with perhaps a slackening during the last six. The slackening could come sooner, however, if reports of curtailment in auto and farm machinery production are true. It is generally agreed by the experts however.that the present situation is not one to be too concerned about. 0 0 Decatur and Adams county .... friends will be glad to know that I-Robert (Bob) Shirk, former Decatur resident now a prominent West Palm Beach, Florida lumberman, has been elected president of the Rotary club of that southern city. The Shirks often return to Decatur for visits in the summer and on many occasions Mr. ‘Shirk has attended the local Rotary club. He has been an enthusiastic member for many years - and has attended several international conventions. We congratulate Mr. Shirk on his new honor and we are sure that the West Palm Beach Rotarians have acted wisely in the selection of their 1956 president. rd 0 Once there were more than 750; now there are four. Next Saturday will be tops in basketball. The Indiana high school champion for 1956 wiM be decided. Four teams ? * remain in tbe running. They include Elkhart, Gerstmeyer of Terre Haute, Lafayette high school and Crispus Attucks, defending champions of Indianapolis. If Ae-favored Crispus Attacks win, a new recordwttl'be established. It will be the first time in basketball history in Indiana that a high school team has gone through the season undefeated and won the state title. Os course, the Attucks are still two games away and anything can --- happen in this great basketballmad state. All eyes and ears will be on Butler Field house next Saturday. The representative of this section of the state is-Elk-hart. The Blue Blazers defeated Fort Wayne South Side Saturday night, with more ease than the score indicates.

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO AFTER a late and leisurely supper the party all piled into sleighs again and went Jangling off along the Shore road toward home. Lora stayed close to Wade. He seemed glad to nave her there within the curve pt hi* arm as they nestled into straw that was warmed with het bricks supplied by the hotel. She was comfortably weary, dreamily aware that the night had cleared and a big moon which had risen overhead was silvering the dark waters of the Kill Van Kull. A few lights sparkled on the Jerstey shore, and there was the sequin brightness of vessels and small craft anchored out in the Kill. The movement of the sleigh was smooth, soft-flowing,” and sleigh bells sounded elfin in the night. "Comfortable, Lora?" Wade whispered, and she nodded her nead against his shoulder. It was comforting to let all disturbing matters fade away and pretened again for a little while. Pretend that she was married to someone she loved and who loved her dearly. She quickly shut away the thought of the past and moved closer *o Wade. She was growing drowsy now. Wade’s arm was around her and for a little while she could feel safe and protected. A make-believe safety, yet she held to the warm, comfortable feeling of it as she dozed. Once when the sleigh Jolted over a rutted place where the snow had been worn through at a crossing, her eyes flew open and in the brief interval of light from a lamp she saw that Adam, next to Serena on the other side of the sleigh, was watching her. She closed her eyes quickly, refusing to rise to any challenge in his. She could even be sorry for Adam tonight Adam had nothing, no one. Only his own bitter self to U9e with. She snuggled more closely into the curve of Wade's turn. When the road grew dark she felt the touch of her husband’s cheek against her own and was comforted. March blew in tempestuously, melting the snow on tree branch and hillside, reducing Staten island roads to a sea of mud. As far as Mother Tyler was concerned, the status quo within the

Q. Isn't it rude and ill-bred for a bride to wait until she returns from a month’s honey moon to acknowledge her wedding gifts? A. Yes. These gifts should be acknowledged the day received. Those received at the last moment can be acknowledged while away. Q. Is it proper for a man dining in a restaurant with his wife to rise when another .*ouple stops at their table for a few words? A. The man must always rise when a woman stops at his table.

house remained exactly the same, i The old lady still kept to her bed, i refusing to have anyone but Wade, i Peter or Ellie come near her, and had occasional relapses over the < presence of the growing puppy, i She read nothing but her Bible and she quoted her Lord’s words often to Wade, giving them her own stern interpretation of criticism upon this household. Lpra had been only too glad to Accept banishment, though at times it made matters difficult for the rest of the house. At least there had been some escape for Wade, since the night of the Sleighing party. He had attended a meeting of the Circle at Morgan Channing's bouse, but he had been thoughtful and guarded about what hafl happened. Mrs. Tyler’s bell rang often for fcllie, but one day Lora crossed the hall and opened the door which had been forbidden to her ever since Christmas. A fire burned low in the sittingroom grate, lending some slight warmth to the bedroom beyond, and the air was stuffy with sickroom odors. _ The sitting-room looked unlived in without the familiar figure tn black in the chair before the Are, Jason Cowles’ visage brooded from the wall more grimly than ever. "Why must you take so long when I call you, Ellie?” demanded Mra Tyler in pettish tones from the dim bedroom. Lora went quietly to the door. •"Ellie’s hands are covered with dough, Mother, so I’ve come to see if 1 can help.” The old woman was a hulk beneath the mound of quilts and in the dim light from the shuttered window Lora could just see her eyes, dark and shadowed in a white face, staring at her balefully. "I will pot have you In this room,” Mrs. Tyler ’quavered. "Where is my son? I have given orders—" Lora went straight to the bed and stood beside it. “There’s no one else home just now. Shall I get you some water? Or your medicine?" * Tears of weak rage blurred Mrs. Tyler’s eyes. “I will not be mocked when 1 am BL it is not good lor

Planning Draft Os Amos For Governor State-Wide Meet Planned Saturday INDIANAPOLIS (INS)—Another state-wide meeting designed to •‘draft" Roy M. Amos, of Goshen, for the Republican gubernatorial nomination will be held in Indianapolis Sunday afternoon. Amos, a former state commander of;t|e American Legion, is U. 8. marshal for Northern Indiana and is a,, farmer and businessman. M." E. Hostetter, former mayor of Nappanee, state chairman of the draft-Amos committee, announced apopintment of the following vice-chairman: Roy E. Rogers, Miftersburg; Preston L. Cates, Conn.ersvile, and Sid Ferree, Sellersburg. Hostetter said: ?'Roy M. Amps is the only possible compromise candidate with whom Indiana Republicans can hope to win the fall election. His qualifications and experience as a farmer, businessman, politician and law enforcement officer make him thoroughly familiar with the problems facing Hoosier citizens.” Ts Amos becomes a candidate, he will have to resign as marshal because of the Hatch act. Favors Withholding Taxes On Dividends .Treasury Secretary Reported Favorable WASHINGTON (INS)—Treasury secretary George Humphrey was reported as favoring the withholding of income taxes on corporation dividends paid to the nation’s eight million stockholders. Humphrey also wants taxes withheld on dividends of all kinds paid to patrons by cooperatives. The secretary asked congress to enact the cooperative withholding provision last July. However, the administration then oppoosed the same operation for corporation dividends. Humphrey's attitude was reveal ed today by a source close to the top treasury official. NO estimate has ever been made of how much extra revenue the government would pick up by withholding taxes on cooperative divideads. However, congressional tax sour ~cea expressed the opinion that corporation dfvidepds tvould net some S4OO million a year in additional taxes, this is .based on the belief that many stockholders fail to report divident indome.

Lora ignored the outrage in the eyes that watched ner, ana felt beneath the bedclothes with a practiced nano. "Ot course you're uncomfortable with everything bummed into a wad of wrinkles. I u nave you easy again m a Jiffy.” She returned to the sitting-room wita no need tor the splutter oi protest wmcn followed ner and came wheeling the big leather cuair before ner. Then she went to tne bea, released the covers gently from the clutch of Mrs. Tyler’s Ungers, and Qung them to the end of the bed. The old woman lay shivering in her flannel nightgown, gasping at the violation. •‘Now then,” Lora said, "let’s move fast so that you won’t get chilled.’’ She reached for the thin hands, ringles now, and pulled the old woman to a sitting position. “I’m too weak for this!" Mrs. Tyler wailed. “Go away, you wick"Os course yoii’re weak, lying In bed all this long time But never mind that—l’m going to have you feeling better than you've felt in a tong while. Come now—over to the chair." “I'm going to faint!" cried Mrs. Tyler. "That's all right!” said Lora. “1 know just what to do for a faint Quickly now—l won’t let you fall.” She gave all her support to Mrs. Tyler’s dead weight half carrying her" the few steps to the chair. Then she lowered her into it quickly wrapped a quilt about her, tucked it around her bare feet, and turned her attention to remaking the bed The old lady did not faint but she watched her tormentor with eyes bright with helpless rage. When the sheets had been pulled taut and every wrinkle banished, Lora turned cheerfully back to her charge. “I know how much you’d like to punish me. but you can’t punish anyone when you let yourself go to pieces like this. If you want things your way you have to get up and fight for them. Now then, back to bed. and I'm going to give you the best back rut you’ve ever had.

Answers To Questions On Income-Tax Return

(Editor s note: You have until midnight April 1« to file your federal income tax return tor 1965 without penalty. This is the last of five articles providing down-to-earth answers to questions most often asked by taxpayers. The series was prepared in cooperation with the internal revenue service.) ! ■ By FELIX COTTEN WASHRINGTON (1N8) — Taxpayers are allowed a credit against tax on dividend income. Also, they are permitted to exclude from their income on the tax return the first SSO of dividends from taxable domestic corporations. This exclusion is comparable to that allowed tor sick pay. You may exclude, before entering your income on page one, your traveling expenses where essential to your businss or work. You should check the instructions carefully for the limitations on this privilege. If you were 65 in 1955, you may include dividends and interest in your retirement income, against which you are allowed a 20 per cent tax credit under specified limitations. However, a number of questions frequently arise regarding dividend and Interest income. Q. My wife and I received S9OO in dividends in 1955. How shall this be treated for tax purposes? A. Each of you may exclude from your 1955 Income SSO of dividend domestic corporations, but one may not use any portion of the SSO exclusion not used by the other. This is true whether you file a joint or separate returns. For example, if $875 of the dividends were received on stock owned by you, and the remaining $25 on stock owned by your wife, you may exclude SSO and your wife $25, or a total of $75 for you both. Then against your $825 of taxable dividends you would be allowed the four percent tax credit, or $33. This, of course, is to be deducted from your computed tax. Q. What dividends are entitled to the exclusion and credit privilege? ■ .■/ A. Generally, dividends of domestic corporations subject to the federal corporation tax. Dividends of foreign corporations do not quality. This is also true of dividends of life and mutual insurance companies, domestic building and loan associations and a number of others. Divldends of qualified corporations which represent a distribution of profit are entitled to the privilege, whether paid in cash or

property. If in property, the amount of the dividend usually is 1 the market value. Dividends which do not represent a distribution of earnings, but are a return of capital to the taxpayer, are not taxable. Payments called dividends which actually are a return of the shareholder’s original investment resulting from the liquidation of a corporation do not constitute income. Q. How do I treat dividends received from a domestic building and loan association? A. They must be reported as interest income, and cannot be considered in computing the dividend exclusion and credit. Q. My bank entered a SSO credit tor interest in my bank book on Jan. 3, 1956. Is this taxable as 1955 income? A. Probably. The SSO may have been credited to your account by the bank in 1955, and if so it should be reported in income for that year.
