It is Spring. . - .-, ' . If you don't believe it, just look at the calendar. You see, by the calendar, Spring starts on the twenty-first day of March. Don't argue about what the weather is, it may be cold, it may be snowing, but it still is Spring. And speaking of that, brings to mind a little poem about Spring. It goes like this: Spring is sprung, The grass is ris, I wonder where The dandelions is? Pretty bad, isn't it? There is an old saying that Spring is when ' a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. That is silly.-Any fool can tell you that now days a young man thinks about love all winter long, just like any girl does. After all, what with a' nice" heater in a car, and Momma and Poppa going to the show, there Is a lot of time for the young people to be loveminded in the Winter. It isn't like it used to be when the family gathered around the stove in the cold weather and entertained themselves. . Then someone changed tfiat old saying a little, and it went something like this: Spring is when a young man's thoughts turn to what the girls have, been thinking about all Winter long. ' .

Democratic members of the committee decided, at a caucus prior to the full committee meeting to oppose not only the bill but any reduction in personal income taxes this year. The Republicans have fifteen members on the committee, ana, the Democrats have ten members. The bill provides for: 1. A cut of 30 per cent for persons with a taxable income of $1,000 or less. '-x . .
