S. — The student council helps to keep the school In good order by conducting a “hall check" each week. The council then announces to the school which floor had the neatest hall. This plan creates some competition between the different floors, making the students more aware of how and where they dispose of their-waste paper. Nice work, student . council, we like the idea! — D. H. 8. — "Well now. shall it he ‘Dunga-

school gymnasium. The music will be furnished by the Rhythm Rascals and the admission will be 35 cents per person. The council has been very busy selling tickets, and they also plan on serving refreshments during the dance. So come on, fans, let’s join in the fun. — M. H. S. — The student body considered itself Quite fortunate last week when the <Rev. William Rea was the speaker in our chapel service. Rev. Rea is a former missionary to China, and he told several vivid stories concerning his escapades in the Orient. He was brought to M.H.S. by Rev. Kirkpatrick from Decatur who was scheduled to be our chapel speaker. Just prior to the message by Rev. Rea, the student body sang several hymns under the direction of Darrell Gerig. M.H.S. would certainly like to thank Rev. Rea and ®ev. Kirkpatrick for making this enjoyable service possible. — M. H. S. — The art class is again busy working on the display bulletin boards. They are currently preparing a scene about Good Friday and another for Easter mornihg. And then there is the idol of the small fry, the Easter bunny with his powder puff tall and his nest of colored eggs. These scenes add a truly festive mood to the school, and the student body truly appreciates the work of the art class. — M. H. S. — - The latest attractions in the gym each noon have been the volley ball games between various student teams. Each class has a boys’ team and there is an allschool girls’ team. Members of these teams will represent M.H.S. at the volley, ball tourney in Berne. Coach “Porky” Holt has also organized a team of teachers which also participates in the noon hour games and is really very good. — M. H. S. — Yes, graduation is rapidly drawing nearer, and the seniors are making plans for the graduation exercises. The decorations in the gym for commencement will be based upon the class colors—blue and white, the class flower—the red rose, and the class motto—- “ Today’s Students. Tomorrow’s Leaders." The rather unique programs (a secret for now) for commencement have been ordered and

it is quite certain that they will be a pleasant surprise to all of the parents and friends. The seniors have also purchased their announcements and have received and exchanged their individual name cards. Yes, the class of 1956 has only about six more weeks of school and to a high school senior those weeks pass in rapid succession. — M. H. 8. — The newest addition of modern equipment which has been installed at M. H. S. is the new public address system In the auditorium. The equipment was purchased froth the 86ward B Price company and will be paid for by the graduating class of 1955, by the athletic fund, and by this year’s senior class. The system has a total of nine speakers and will be very useful in future ball games, at banquets, and for the graduation exercises in May. "’ — ~M. H. 8. — You take a pair of spanking new gym shoes for a body, a basketball for a head, stop watches for eyes, and a glittering homemade crown and you have the "King of Indiana” Mr. Basketball.

Italy Paradise To U. S. Businessmen Asserts Italy Tops California, Florida ROME (INS) — Italy today was painted as a sunny paradise where American businessmen can "live longer, make more money and work loss hours” than in the United States. An Italian official put it this way: "For the tired American businessman, Italy is better than California or Florida. The climate is mild the taxes are even milder.” The official who is working on plans to attract foreign — and particularly American — capital to Italy, listed a number of his country's economic advantages: 1. Italy is riding the crest of an economic upswing. Gross Incomes increased seven per cent last year, five per cent during the previous year. 2. Italy has vast undeveloped resources. Some oil has been found in the south, more is expected. There are also indications of uranium, coal and other mineral deposits. 3. In the south there is a fertile field for developing citrus fruit and vegetable production in conjunction with canning and frozen food industries that could be established. Wheat and cotton has been grown successfully, and dairy and meat production offers good potentials. 4. Labor is cheap, Italian workers are clever, amenable. And to 1 clinch his sales-argument, the official brought up two added inducements for the American Investor. The recently passed law permitting foreign investors to re-export their profits and capital at will, and the fact that Italy’s tax is nominally a flat 32 per cent of profits. But foreign businessmen now operating In Italy had words of caution for enthusiastic buslneasmen who would rush into this paradise of profits and pizza-pies. “On the books, Italy’s capital levy of 32 per cent looks a lot better than America's 52 per cent corporation tax,” an industrialist explained. "But when it comee down to brass tacks, it’s a different picture.” The picture changes .the industrialist said, because Italian revenue agents can make it change ’ at will. Under local regulations, agents have a wide latitude in determining taxable profits of 'a company or an individual: They i often disallow important Cost fig- - urea by saying that these coats ■ were incurred as the result of a i company's “bad judgment.” In addition, there are a number , of additional taxes, such as those » levied by local government-spon-sored Chambers of Commerce, a three per cent transacJNSh tax,

and a number of hidden duties that appear at various distribution levels. (Until recently, there was also the possibility that American businessmen operating in Italy might be dunned for additional taxes in the United States. But at present, Italy and the United States are entering into a bilateral convention which eliminates double taxation). _ Meanwhile economists analyzing the new Italian law on foreign investments have brought up some of its disadvantages. Their main objection stems from a provision of the law forbidding foreign investors to seek additional capital in Italy. Hog School Planned Friday Afternoon Purdue Specialist To Lead Discussion Hoosier pork producers once again were shown the Value of selling hogs at market weights of from 200 to 225 pounds at the recent Hoosier spring barrow show. Dick Holland beck, Purdue University extension swine specialist, reports that the best heavyweight carcass in the show was not as valuable as the 12th place lightweight carcass. “It’s not necessary to starve hogs by limiting feed Intake or by feeding fibrous nitions in order to pro-

di»ce the right kind of hog to get the right kind of carcass,” Hollandbeck comments. As an illustration, he lists facts about the 215 pound Hampshire, exhibited by William Nash and Son of Sharpsville, that won the coveted grand championship both in the "on foot” and in the carcass contest. Selected from a litter of ten pigs, the i hampion hog was weaned at seven weeks. Before it was weaned, the hog had access to a creep ration. After being weaned and until exhibited at the barrow show, the hog was allowed to eat from two self-feeders — one containing shelled corn, the other a 7-2-1 ration (7 parts cdrn, 2 parts oats, and 1 part protein supplement). And the hog was less than six months old when

exhibited and slaughtered. Hollandbeck believes many Hoosier farmers are striving to produce the lean-type hog and lists figures from the barrow show as proof. There was just a 21.51 spread in the value of the first 30 carcasses in the lightweight division, an indication that competition was keen.
