Monroe street gets a terrible trtffic beating day and night. In addition to the constant stream of local east-west traffic, two state highways also are routed west » on that street. Workmen today started the task of resurfacing the street, which has become badly worn since the complete resurfacing job a few years ago. «* o——o You get only a short breather between the deadline for filing your income tax returns and before you know it May 7, deadline for paying county taxes will be here. It’s time now to be thinking about lower taxes, if you feel the present rate is too high. City, township and county units will be making ready their budgets for next year and you can bet your last penny that if the people don’t organise to object, the rates will continue to rise. fr—0 —- From Travelers Insurance Co. we get the following interesting statistics; • In 1956 out of a total of 46,300 automobile fatalities 1.9 percent were among drivers who had their license less than a year and 98.1 percent were drivers with more experience. In 2,334,500 nonfatal accidents new drivers accounted for 3 percent and veteran drivers accounted tor 97 percent of the mishaps. In fatal accidents meh caused 90.8 percent of the mishaps and women accounted for only 9.2 percent, sien were involved as drivers in 85.4 percent of the non-fatal mishaps and women were in 14.6 percent. 0 0 President Elsenhower has assumed a great personal responsibility In his veto of the agricultural relief bill. A majority of members of each house of Congress had previously worked several weeks shaping up a measure. Now one man overrides that decision and says the bill is “not workable." What the action will - do to farmers as a group remains to be seen. Farm income has been falling for several months. Congress believed its measure would help the farmer. The President decided it wouldn’t. It is highly doubtful if enough votes can be gathered In either House of Con-

gress to override the veto. And the American Farmer continues to be the goat! 0 o Baseball, , that magic game, which has a following of many million Americans from coast to coast opens the major league season today. Some 250,000 fans, providing the weather man Is kind, purchased tickets ahead of time so they would be sure to see the first ball fly over the plate, opening the 1956 campaign in eight. major league cities. In a few weeks, thousands of youngsters in little leagues, pony leagues, American Legion leagues and others will open their baseball seasons. It is from these latter leagues that some day the majors will get their players. That, however is secondary, because right now the youngsters have an opportunity to learn a lot of their future •problem through organized baseball. It’s a great game, whether you follow the big time or some sand lot team. Basketball and football take a back seat for the next several months. -y; jr - o o—— -- — The Adams county commissioners on May 7 will consider a proposal to establish a cumulative bridge'construction £nd repair fund. If a resolution to provide such a fund is adopted it will add eight cents to your tax rate for the next five years. The proposed plan would raise approximately 8140,000 during the period. If this proposal passes, it will make a total of almost 16 cents additional taxes on each hundred dollars of taxable property as an eight cent levy was included in the hospital bond issue for the purpose of retiring the proposed bond issue. We say almost because the proposed bridge tax will not all be a new tax. Apparently the commissioners have studied the bridge situation in the county, but creation of the fund will add to the already not' too small tax burden of the people of Adams county. A year ago this newspaper said that unless the brakes are applied, we're heading for a six or seven dollar tax rate. Unless opposition to such a rate is forthcoming soon, we’ll have it in a year or two.

0 0 Household Scrapbook BY ROBERTA LEE 0 Indelible Ink It is much easier to mark a handkerchief or other article, with indelible Ink if the spot to be marked is first dipped into cold starch, then pressed with a hot irno. This will give a smooth, hard surface on which to write. Odctys To banish odors when cooking “smelly” vegetables, place a small pan of vinegar on the back of the stove. It will prevent the, odor from going all through the house. Ant* When bothered with ants, try taking some camphor gum, breaking it into small pieces and scattering it around the haunts. It will keep them away.

Giving In ...ToHis Practical Side!

We will tell you, in all honesty, that this gentleman was a little dubious when he first walked into the showroom. There was no question, to be sure, about his wanting a Cadillac. ’ ■ But, quite frankly, he wondered whether or not he was in a position to purchase a motor car as wonderful as the 19;>6 Cadillac. But now he is learning some facts about this distinguished motor car that are removing the doubt from his mind. First of all, he is” learning that a Cadillac is relatively modest in its initial cost. He is finding out about Cadillac’s extraordinary dependability and freedom, jjrom repairs. He is discovering the remarkable facts about

monstrances should have been fib ed within Iff days after the report. The petition to file the motion has been sustained. Relieved of Support In the divorce case of Wauneta B. King against 'Richard E. King, by agreement of the parties, the defendant is relieved of further support payments for a minor child. Says House To Vote On School Measure Says Assurance is Given By Rayburn WASHINGTON (INS) — The sponsor of the federal school aid bill said today that speaker Sam Rayburn (D-Texas) has assured him the house will vote on the measure this year. Rep. Augustine B. Kelley (DPa.) predicted that “in view of this, the bill will be passed by the house.” The bill would authorize one billion, 600 million dollars in federal funds for construction of additional classrooms in the states. It was approved by the house education and labor committee last July 22 and has been awaiting floor clearance by the rules committee ever since. < Kelley said in an interview that “despite the delay, I am sure the bill is not dead.” He added thgt Rayburn’s assurance that the rules committee will report out the bill is a guarantee that the house will act. However, a spokesman for the national ' education association, which strongly supports the bill, declared: "We believe the house will act on the bill, but we’re afraid the vote will be delayed so long that the senate will not have time to do likewise." It is an open secret that the senate will not act before May 1. regardless of what the house does, i That is primary election day in ; Alabama.

Gruenther To Take Lucrative Position Allied Commander To Private Industry WASHINGTON (INS) - The real reason for the surprise retirement of Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther as supreme commander of allied forces in Europe can now be told. This correspondent has learned from an unimpeachable source that Gruenther prefers a lucrative job with private industry to the ‘’chairmanship of the joint chiefs Os staff —a post that does not become vacant for another 16 months. The informant said the army general feels he has now reached the pinnacle of a military career, and that becoming chairman of; the joint chiefs would be a step down, not up. Sidney Weinberg, New York investment banker with the firm of Goldman, Sachs & Co. offered Gruenther a “job in six figures" while the general was in Washington last month. Weinberg, who was instrumental in placing Gen. Lucius Clay as chairman of Continental Can Co. after Clay’s retirement in 19*49, is in an enviable spot to place Gruenther. Besides Continental Can, Weinberg is also a director of General ■ Electric Co., General Foods Corp.,’ B. F. Goodrich Co., Lambert Co., I Cluett, Peabody & Co., General CiI gar Co., Madison Square Garden Corp., McKesson & Robbins, Na- ! tional Dairy Products Corp., Champion Paper & Fibre Co. and Van Raalte Co. Several other tantalizing offers from private industry are also in the wind. An informed source said Gruenther has not yet settled on one. but will do so after a lengthy rest. He is slated to remain at his present post for several more months until succeeded by Gen. Lauris Norstad. first air force officer to head NATO.

Cadillac’s traditionally wonderful resale value. And, lastly, he is being told that, at this time of the year, his dealer is able to make Cadillac ownership even more practical than usual. That’s why we suspect that—having given in long ago to his heart—he is now giving in to his practical side. And that’s a combination no man can resist! I f you have considered Cadillac the car in your future—but have postponed making the move for reasons of economy—we urge you to stop in soon. As an experienced Cadillac dealer, we have established a wonderful relationship with fine-car motorists throughout the community. Our reputation for integrity is positive assurance of your satisfaction as a customer.
