HEARING (Continued rrom Page One) > 1 Ray Eichenauer pointed out that this was precisely the period to which those land owners present objected. The waterway already was loaded to capacity with sewage, creating an odor problem. Assessment Paid Faurote pointed out that the assessment on that ditch was paid for his land, that he had the same right to use it as any other landowner, and that he would be more than glad to pay his share to enlarge it. County surveyor Herman Moellering pointed out that toe ditch was loaded to capacity, that all had paid their shares, that the primary purpose of the-ditch was to carry farm land drainage, not sewage, treated or raw. Faurote pointed out that the home owners were asking the commissioners to require more on his land than they were willing to do on their own. He charged that some of those on toe ditch and drain in question were dumping raw sewage, or septic tank sewage, into toe ditch, and they had no sewage disposal or sanitary sewer lines to toe local sewage disposal plant. Hospital Admitted Mrs. Edna Smitley, Miss Martha Caudle, Decatur. Dismissed Max Rayl, Decatur.

Scout Honor Court Held Friday Night An impressive court of honor was held by Boy Scout troop 65 at the Trinity church Friday evening. The purpose of toe court of honor was to confer on David Collier the coveted’ Eagle Scout award. Collier, toe scat of Mr. and Mrs. Doyle Collier of 43 Homestead, Decatur, earned the high award upon the completion of 23 merit badges. His merit badges were * earned in firemanship, first aid, public health, safety, camping, cooking, swimming, lifesaving, nature, personal fitness, painting, citizenship in home, citizenship in communitv, citizenship in nation, hiking, soil and water conservation, electricity, wood working, forestry, gardening, scholarship, home repair and wild life management. The F-agV Scout award was presented Dy Bill Spice, who is the Limberlost district executive in scouting. A silver bar was presented to David’s mother. David describes what it means to him to become an Eagle Scout in these words, “To me, becoming an Eagle Scout means that I have achieved one of the highest awards in scouting. It means to me a sense of satisfaction to have completed something which I had started. In working toward my Eagle award, I have learned many new and interesting things which I think will help me in later life.” He is the first Scout to receive toe Eagle Scout award in troop 65 since toe troop began in 1957. Other Scouts receiving merit badges at the court of honor meeting were Randy Hitchcock, life award; Steve Schultz, citizenship merit badge; Richard Collier, second class Scout; and Tom Snell, second class Scout. The program also included a presentation of the Kg Island camping program with pictures of the camp which were presented by scoutmaster Herald Hitchcock and assistant scoutmaster Herb Kitson. Assistant scoutmaster David Smith reported that toe troop had been working diligently to earn money for tables and benches at toe Big Tcland Camp. He presented S3O to Bill Spice for this purpose. The money was earned by the Scouts from passing hand bills. Steve Everhart, neighborhood scouting commissioner, was called upon to speak. He commended David Collier, toe troop and the scoutmasters for their splendid work. He pointed out “that without faithful and dedicated leadership such as that given by Herald Hitchcock. Herb Kitson and David Smith, Scouts could not have the meaningful experiences such as have come to many boys in troop 65.” He stated that the troop had been, al-. most from its beginning, one of the outstanding troops in toe Anthony Wayne council. The troop is sponsored by the Decatur Evangelical United Brethren church. Its institutional representative and committee for the past year have been David Wynn, Curtis Hill, Don Cochran, Stan Kling, James Borchers, John Kelley, and Clement Snell. The troop is now in toe process of re-registering for toe new year and will have as its institutional representative David Wynn. The chairman of the Scout committee will be Don Cochran. Other committee members include Curt Hill; Stan Kling, Norm Koons, Clement Snell and James Borchers. Scoutmaster Hitdicock announced that toe troop is in position to receive new Scouts into the troop at the present time. Boys of scouting age who would like to join a very active troop are asked to see Hitchcock.

Plane Missing With Cubs' Star Aboard PROVO, Utah (UPI)—A light plane piloted by Chicago Cubs second baseman Ken Hubbs and carrying ope passenger was reported missing and presumed down today on a flight from Provo to Colton, Calif. The plane, a single-engine Cessna 172, left toe Provo air- • port in bad flying weather Thursday morning. It has not been heard from since and was reported missing late Friday night.

State’s Tax Forms Are Not Monstrous

By HOBTENSE MYERS United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — A million Hoosiers will be doing themselves a financial favor if they will sit down today and figure out their Indiana individual income tax returns. They have refunds coming and may not know it. Commissioner James C Courtney of the Indiana Department of Revenue said the hybrid forms—which are a combination of both the old flat gross income and the new adjusted gross income taxes —“are not the monstrous things some people think they are.” Courtney remarked that there is “a big inequity” in the method the 1963 Legislature selected for making the transition from one tax form to the other. But he said there was no real problem to making out the short tax form which will be used by most Hoosiers. 75 Pet. Get Reftmd He offered as an “inducement” to all those who must fill out tax reports a preliminary survey which indicates that 75 per cent of all individual taxpayers will get a refund, and the sooner the form is sent to the Indiana Department of Revenue the sooner they will get their money back. Since there are about 1.3 million individual taxpayers, Courtney’s percentage indicates that

about a mililon taxpayers have money coming their way. The heavy rate of refund is due to the fact more money was withheld than was due under the new law which became effective last June 30. Courtney explained that all Hoosiers whose total income was in the form of salary or wages are to use the short form which is condensed on one page. People who have some interest or who get social security payments in addition to salary and wages also are to use this more simplified form. Exemption Error Cited A sampling of tax forms already received by the department indicates that the most frequent error is in getting the wrong tax exemption for the wife on joint returns filed by married couples. Courtney pointed out that for the first time married couples may file state income returns jointly, as they do for the federal government. Under the old flat gross income tax rate, each filed separately. He said that the legislative decision to charge 1 per cent on the entire 1963 income as a means of bringing the 2 per cent adjusted gross income tax down to the six months it was effective has resulted in “some big inequities.” These inequities have resulted when taxpayers made more

money in the last half of 1963 than they did in the first half. But Courtney said his department has no choice but to enforce the law as it was written. Confused By Columns Thus the taxpayer, reading the short form and its accompanying booklet of instructions, starts out confused because of the “half-year” he sees in column "A” and the full year in column “B". But take Courtney’s word for it, the job “is not difficult.” His advice is to start at the top, having determined first whether the short or long form applies. Be careful to fill in name, address, zip code, occupations —and social* security number or numbers, if for a couple. ‘We use social security numbers to file by,” Courtney ex-r plained. Next comes the name of employer or employers, using the initial “W” to indicate which are the ones by which a working wife was employed. Adams Central PTA To Sponsor Supper The Adams Central P. T.
