Parking Meter Woes The rigid enforcement of the local parking meter ordinance, together with enforcement of the double parking-alley parking laws, has led to loud squawks of anguish from those who claim to have been erroneously charged with violations. The law is clear. So is its purpose. If you want to come downtown to shop, you have to have a place to park. If the places are all taken by those who are employed, or who are loafing, downtown, you cannot park. So, meters were installed. The purpose of the meter is to require you not to park longer than one hour, or two hours, in the same spot. If you do, you get a yellow envelope, and owe 25c if paid within 48 hours. If you are caught twice without moving, you get a $1 red ticket. Lots of people have been in the habit of parking in alleys — to the great consternation of those who have to get through to load or unload in the alley. The present policy is — if you are obviously loading or unloading, fine — if you are parking and doing other chores, you get a $1 red ticket. The parking meters are being checked often enough that no one can afford to park without paying the meters. This poses problems for some. For example, the county commissioners — when they arrive at 9:30 a.m. for their weekly session, aD free parking within several blocks has long been taken. They cannot just adjourn every hour or two while members feed their meters. Merchants can arrive early enough to park offslreet, er they can try to lease space. If the new city lot on First street is leveled and stoned this summer, it could add immeasurably to the parking space available. Another problem is that of workmen, such as electricians or plumbers, who have to work out of their trucks for periods of hours or days in business places, or of large trucks which must unload at certain times in front of stores. At present, the police department issues “no parking” signs to those who register for a specific time. It might be fairer if workers had to rent these signs, just as other parkers must feed the meters, so that it won’t appear that they are getting a special privilege. real villains are those thoughtless people who try to take out their personal anger at having been given a ticket by bashing the parking meter, which adds to taxes, or by calling up the police station or meter policeman. This solves nothing; if you violate the law, and get caught, pay up — that’s what the others are doing. Those who complain only make themselves look foolish. Editorial written by ™ck Heller SPECIAL WASHINGTON REPORT HISTORIC STEPS IN COLLEGE AID | By U.S. Senator Ralph W. Yarborough (D. Tex.) • Member, Senate Subcommittee on Education "We have entered an age,” Prerident Johnson said recently, **in which education ... has become a necessity without which a person is defenseless in this complex, industrialized society.

y* ■ ■■ *• —— ———— f - - » - Now more than ever before, education it a necessity, the guide and maker of our future. For this reason alone, the Kennedy-Johnson Administration and the 88th Congress can take ■ singular pride in the efforts they have made in ' support of American education. But beyond this, is the range, imagination, and foresight which the various bills evidence. We have recently seen the enactment of new programs, programs which will: W provide assistance for the education of doctors

• promote vocational training i • expand our student loan fund • provide grants for i educational television • provide aid to public libraries It was my privilege as a member of the Senate Labor and ’ Public Welfare Committee to be a principal advocate of each of these bills, and to assist later in each joint House-Senate conference on these bills to iron out differences leading to final enactment. Taken together, these programs surely represent what President Johnson has called the most historic steps in the field of education since the Land Grant College Act was passed ' 100 years ago. Yet there is much to be done. College enrollment will double by 1970. $23 billion in new facilities will be needed by then. That is about three times the quantity built during the past decade. I In short, there are expected to be twice as many college students in 1974 as there are today. | Statistics such as these indicate why, of the several recent education programs, I think the Higher Education Facilities Act of 1943 particularly important. This bill, signed by President Johnson on December 16, 1963, is among the best examples Ve have of enlightened response to a pressing problem. The bill authorizes $230 mil-

I UphW.

lion in matching grants for construction of undergraduate fa- _ cilities. Included in this is $179.4 million annually to be distributed among the states on the basis of relative high school, college, and university enrollment. Also included is a program to spur school projects that aim at increasing enrollment capacity. A second portion of the bill authorizes $143 million in matching grants for construction of graduate facilities. This latter provision is particularly significant. In this era of technological revolution, it has come to be recognized that special mastery, not just passing acquaintance, is ever more important. And the need for special skills is re<mgnized by the aid given for tne construction of graduate facilities. The concluding section of the bill authorizes $360 million in loans for college and university ► construction, rehabilitation, and - the general improvement of aca- . dernic facilities. The scope of the Higher Edu- : cation Facilities Act indicates : also that the Congress, under : the leadership of Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, recognizes : education as a key in our con- , tinuing social and technological - progress. ' With good reason, the 88th Cons ess is being called the “Education Congress.”

SOCIAL ' SECURITY: QUIZ I V 1. Q—l earned more thang SI2OO in 1963 and received benefitchecks for six months. When? must I report these earnings tog the social security admlnlstra-E tion? * A—You must report these earn-j ings not later than April 15, 1964. i 2. Q —l estimated my earn-? ings for 1963 as SISOO. Based on? this estimate, I received for some months. Since my ac-. tual earnings were less than SISOO, do I have to file a report > of my earnings with the social J security administration? A—Yes. It may be possible* that you are entitled to moreg benefits than you received last! year, as your actual earnings! were less than your estimate.! This can only be determined as-l ter your annual report of earn-! ings is filed. 3. Q—l became 72 in Febru-a ary, 1963, and earned over SI2OOJ last year. Must I still report my| earnings for last year? A —Since you were under 72 a’ full month of last year and hadearnings over SI2OO, you .must filer an annual report of earnings by April 15, 1964. 4. Q —My husband is a selfemployed painter. broke his leg in March, 1963, and as a result, his net profit from the business was only $893 last year. Using both our exemptions, it looks like we will not owe any income tax for 1963. But I seem to remember somebody saying we should file a return for social security anyway. Ir this true, and if it is, what is the deadline? A—Yes, it is true. Your husband must file an income tax return and pay the self-empioyment tax if his annual income is S4OO Or more, even though he is not otherwise required to file an income tax return. His self-em-ployment tax is computed on separate schedule C. Tax returns for calendar year 1963 are - April 5. Q—l just learned I should have been reporting self-employ-ment income as I have been a door-tg-door salesman since 1960. I netted over S4OO in 1960 but did not file a tax return for that year or for any since. Can I still get credit by filing a return this year? A—ln order for you to receive credit for 1960 self-employment income you have only until April ’ 15, 1964, to file a tax return. If you wait until after that date, you may be subject to a social - security tax for 1960 without receiving any credit for the earnings. You should get in touch with your nearest internal revenue office immediately. 6. Q—l have a problem. I have two separate businesses. I find I made a profit in one and loss in the other. How do I figure the net earnings for social security tax purposes? A—ls you have more than one business, your net earnings from self-employment are the combined net earnings from all businesses. Thus, a loss sustained in one business will reduce the income derived from your other business Easter Services At Missionary Church Special Easter services are being planned at the Decatur Missionary church. At 6 a.m. the young people will attend the union sunrise service to be held at the Church of God. Following the service, the young people will be guests of the pastor and his wife for breakfast. At 9 a.m.. the Sunday school will meet with a record attendance anticipated. At 10 a.m. Rev. Gerald I. Gerig, - pastor of the church, will bring his Easter message entitled. “Where Is He?” During this service the adult choir, under the direction of Darrell Gerig, will sing the “Hallelujah Chorus.” A special service is being planned at 7 p.m. when the new baptistry of the church will be used for the first time. Eleven will be baptized during this service. The public is invited to attend all of these special services.

If you do not think this is so, I suggest that everyone reading this letter invest 50 cents and purchase a ticket from any Boy Scout in the Limberlost area and see for yourself what the Scouts are doing and what they would like to accomplish for your benefit. The Scouts in Decatur believe the 50 cents you invest to see the Scout-O-Rama on the 25th of April at the Community Center will be an investment in the future growth and development of our community.
