Kohne When, in the Spring of 1916, a group of young Decatur ladies formed a chapter of Delta Theta Tau little did they then realize that just four years later one of their number would be serving as national president of their service sorority. Mra. Kohne, who died Sunday afternoon following a long, painful illness, had done much in her own life to help others, and make their troubles less. About 1928 she and Mrs. Florence Bowers, meeting at the Bowers home, formed the Goodfellows club, to help needy people in the Decatur area at Christmas time. They collected money, purchased presents, and then distributed them—in the early days, the money went a lot further than it does today, and they were able to help more than 50 Decatur families each season. Dr. Fred Patterson used to help them distribute the presents in those early days. Thirty-five years later, the Goodfellows are still functioning. In 1917 Mrs. Kohne was elected president of the Decatur “Delta” chapter, and she remained an active member until the Alumna Association was formed in 1927, and was a charter member of that organization. Very generous of both her time and money, Mrs. Kohne quietly helped others all her life, in addition to raising a fine family. PaU bearers for the funeral services, at the St. Marys Catholic Church Tuesday, will be Tom Burk, Bill Gass, John Boch, Noble Reynolds, T. H. Graliker and Harry Knapp. As the wife of a prominent Decatur druggest, Mrs. Kohne could have sat back, content with family life, and avoided her civic responsibility. Instead, she dedicated her life to helping others through her church ’. and through civic organizations. At a sad time like this, it is very difficult to comfort those who have suffered most in this loss —her family. But they know in their hearts that this fine woman has made the world a better place in which to live, a friendlier, happier place — and anything said about her falls far short of what she deserves. Decatur will sadly miss Mrs. Raymond B. Kohne.

kalian Premier Wins Serious Test ROME (UPD—Premier Amintore Fafani emerged with a clear victory over Italy's Socialists today in the most serious test yet posed for his year-old center-left government. The Socialists, who had threatened last month to topple the government if it did not create regional (state) governments before national elections are held this spring, wound up Sunday night backing down completely. Their central committee, after two days of acrimonious debate, voted 45-35 to continue supporting the government despite Fanfani’s refusal to meet their demand. What the Socialists appeared to have achieved was a bitter split in their own ranks just a few months before the national elections. They also may have helped Fanfani’s position with right-wing forces in his own Christian Democrat party, who were fearful that he had been giving too much ground to the Socialists. Socialist leader Pietro Nenni, under strong pressure from proCommunists in his party, had threatened a month ago to withdraw support from Fanfani unless the regional governments were set up now. Fanfani gave his answer last week. Action on the regional governments cannot be taken now because the Socialists have refused to break aU their old ties with the Communists. 20 Years Ago j Today j Jan. 14, 1943—A1l rural schools of Adams county .were closed at noon today because of heavy snowfall and badly drifted roads. Thirty-one members of the Reppert school of auctioneering will be graduated at exercises tomorrow at the K. of C. home. The Adams county war savings bonds staff reported another new record today when a war bond was sold to Gloria Kathleen Schultz, 11-hour-old baby daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. Paul Schultz. Some food prices in Decatur -todays rib—roasts, 33 cents ..a pound- oysters, 45 cents a pint; wieners, 32 cents a pound; doughnuts, 12 cents a dozen; bread, 3 loaves for 29 cents; Wisconsin fresh cheese, 30 cents a pound.

It is generally considered courteous to wait until the others have been served, either at the beginning of a meal or at the beginning of a new course, .before starting to eat. Usually the hostess is the first to begin, which gives the signal for the others to start. Q. I am to be married for the first time, but-my- fiance is a widowef. Under these circumstances may I have a large, formal wedding? A. Your fiance’s status has nothing to do with it. Since this is YOUR first marriage, you may plan it on any scale you wish.

Taxes Chief Concern Os State Assembly

— taxes Ol TAXEsV TAXES by Wiliam L. Fortuna — Mr. Fortuna report* weekly for thl* paper on tax matter* la the General Aaaembly. He le ■ tax conaultant, and a former State Legislator and ' Treasurer of State for Indiana. TAXES, TAXES, TAXES: The 93rd session of the Indiana legislature opened last Thursday with historic overtones. Not since 1933 did the state face such a fi- . nancial crisis. True, teachers weren’t being paid in script nor had the property tax structure broken down, as it did then. There were no long lines of unemployed. Instead prosperity reigned — at least for almost everyone but the state of Indiana. The State’s surplus would be exhausted or “actually $5.9 million in the red” by i the end of the state’s fiscal year this June 30, Governor Matthew t E. Welsh warned. Worried questions were being asked by responsible state officials, as when State Auditor Dorothy Gardner stopped State Superintendent of Public Instruction William Wilson at lunch and asked if a certain balance in the state’s treasurer was sufficient to meet the state’s February distribution of school funds to local units of government (about $29 million)— 1 she was assured it was. And - knowledgeable people such as ■ John Hatchett, former State Budget Director, had already speculated on the possibility of what the i state would do without increased revenues. “We would just have to ‘drag’ our bills and distribute the. , money... we had .on hand, on a pro rata basis, thus forcing • the local school corporations to borrow money to pay their teachers and other costs — just as Michigan did a few years ago.” No one wanted Indiana to become another Michigan in fiscal matters. In the first place, there Is considerable Hoosier pride in the state’s solvency and the fact that the Constitution prohibits the state from incurring any indebtedness. Although no public offiefe

ial or party leader of either party will commit himself to a tax problem, or even suggest he is for a substantial increase in any tax at this time, Democratic Governor Welsh, Republican Lt. Gov. Richard Ristine and Republican Speaker of the House Richard Guthrie each will give you an emphatic “Absolutely not” if you ask them if they will let the state become insolvent. This in itself means a tax increase. And every legislator knows it. He knows, for instance, the state must have sufficient money to satisfy these basic current needs before they even consider the requirements of the next biennium (1963-1965) fpr which they will be appropriating 1 money: S3O million —\ to overcome the current gap between income and outgo. $25 million — to rebuild the state’s surplus from 0 to what financial experts consider a safe margin. $49 million — to meet its current obligation to the local schools on the basis of the present formula but taking into account the 60,000 new pupils entering the school system in the next biennium. $lO4 Million — Total. I . Less 40 million — anticipated increase in revenue at present tax rates. $64 million — Minimum increase in funds needed. This is more than a 10% increase in General Fund Revenue (and taxes' and does nothing more than keep us abreast of the problem — without even taking into consideration the future needs of our State Universities, Mental Health institutions, Conservation, etc. Governor Welch submitted a balanced budget to the legislature which contemplates even a cutback from the 1961-63 biennium in the state’s major support programs for our local schools and state Universities and leaves a small surplus of $2 Million. But at the same time he recommended a “statement of needs” of alIfifiBE'.RRNT mUHon' dvef TEFbalahced budget (s3ll million of this is for local schools and colleges). Privately the Republican leadership will tell you $250 million of

this is an absolute necessity, end though they will try and cut the “fat” out of the budget, this can’t possibly mean more than a $2-3 million savings, they admit. What does this mean to the average taxpayer — hold on — roughly, very roughly a 50% increase in his state tax bill. It will be either this or the burden will faU back on increased local property taxes, it is pointed out, and there’s hardly a person in the State House today, legislative or administrative, who doesn’t believe property taxes have run their full course. Is it any wonder that the mood of the legislature as it met was quiet, concerned serious and, it must be said, responsible and resigned — like a man facing death and taxes: the political death that hangs over a politican who raises taxes. Yet there was a feeling of goodwill (at least for the present) between party leaders that somehow everything would work out and there might even be a bipartisan effort to seek a solution. So far the lines of communication between the parties were open and no hard-and-fast lines had been drawn from which there could be no retreat. i It was obvious the greatest pres- 1 sure on the proposed budget was coming from our local schools . and state Universities whose combined requests were up almost 100% over the present biennium ($348 million increase from 196163), as the Senate Finance Committee and House Ways and Means Committee met to consider their requests before the legislature convened. Strong words were used as President Frederick Hovde of Purdue told the legislators that the passage of the Governor’s balanced budget would spell the “deathknell” of our state Universities and Robert Wyatt, executive secretary of the Indiana State Teachers Association, warned that it would be a long period of restriction if not strangulation.” Yet there was a touch of humor when Mr. Wyatt was asked where all the money was coming from and he replied, “I’ll write the tax ■ "bffl if you will pass it.” You could hear the sigh of relief among the legislators as one said “How soon can we have it,” and everyone laughed. They would all like to be relieved of that responsibility. Certainly they would not lack the information upon which to act if they chose, as the Indiana Comjnissidn J® State Tax and. Finance ing Policy has prepared mountainous studies for their use, and every conceivable type of bill or combination of bills will be introduced — sales tax, increase in gross income tax and cigarette tax, gross income tax with mandatory provisions on the retailers to pass the tax on to the consumer, use tax (to catch out-of-state sales by manufacturers), graduated gross income tax, local option sales taxes on the county level, and even changes in the administration of the business personal • property tax to place the assessment responsibility on a state level. But, if it is any consolatifin to the overburdened taxpayers, Indiana still ranks 38th among the 50 states in the percentage of taxes taken from his income. And whatever happens, the 61-Day Constitutional limitation on the meeting of the legislature at least means it won’t take over a year (as it did in Michigan) or over 8 months (as in Pennsylvania) in 1959 to solve or not solve the Indiana tax problem.

Pack Meeting Held By Cubs Os 3061 Cub Pack 3061, sponsored by the Lincoln P. T. A., which is pledged to a bigger, better and more active pack for 1963, got off to a fine start Thursday night with its January pack meeting at the Lincoln school auditorium. Nearly 100 Cubs, parents, brothers and sisters and friends were in attendance, with the meeting opening with the entire group repeating the pledge of allegiance, led by cubmaster Judge Myles F. Parrish. Kenneth Erhart, chairman, led the Cubs in one of their favorite songs, “Hail, Hail, the Gang’s All Here.” Mrs. Beulah Parrish accompanied on the piano. The impressive candle light Bob cat ceremony was held with the new Cubs repeating the Cub Scout promise, with the parents standing with each Cub. After repeating the promise, each parent was presented with a Bob Cat pin, and they, in turn pinned the badge upon t ijieir son’s shirt. Need Good Deed The parents were told the pin should be up-side-down on their boy’s shirt, and should be worn that way until the Cub did a good deed, making the boy eligible to wear it right-side-up. Judge Parrish presided at the Bob cat ceremony and C. S. Martindill, advancement chairman and chairman Erhart presented the badges to toe parents. Cubs receive ing the awards were Edward Beitler, Tim Mayclin, Michael Manley, Dean Bodie, Jeffery Smith and Steven Spence. Awards Made C. S.

After the awards were presented the group was again led in one of their favorite songs, “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad,” by chairman Erhart. All of the dens were then given the opportunity to show their displays for the month and tell what they had done. Each den told Ot their field trips and each cub told of an interesting experience that he had had during toe month and. described what he hade made on December’s project. It was announced that the pack is now in the process of re-registra-tion for toe coming year, and all registrations must be made on or before March 31. Skating Party .Judge Parrish announced that the next pack meeting will be the “Blue and Gold skating party” at Miller’s rink east of town on February 1 between the hours of 7 and 10 p.m. No admission will be charged, and all cubs of pack 3061, their parents, brothers and sisters and any boy between the ages of 8 and 10% who wishes to join the pick are invited. The meeting closed with Judge Parrish telling the group that ’’Out of every hundred boys burn in the world, only five are born in the United States; the other 95 are divided among all the countries and continents of the world.” “The five born in this country are all we have to move the world toward brotherhood and to sell our way of life,” the judge explained. “Scout training can and should be a natural step toward this purpose,” the judge said. As all of the boys gave toe Cub Scout sign and repeated the Cub Scout promise, “I promise to do my best, to do my duty to God and my country, to be square and to obey toe law of toe pack,” toe meeting closed. Aparicio And Smith Traded To Orioles CHICAGO CUPir — The Chicago White Sox today traded shortstop Luis Aparicio and outfielder - infielder Al Smith to the Baltimore Orioles in return for four players, headed by shortstop Ron Hansen. The Sox also obtained knuckle ball pitcher Hoyt Wilhelm, outfielder Dave Nicholson and third baseman Pete Ward.
