News “The day definitely is past when an individual can hope to grow wealthy out of wages or ■alary,” says a feature article in a recent issue of U. S. News & .’World Report. "Old ideas about what constitutes a ‘high’ income are having to be revised, along with old ideas about the size of a fortune needed to support a family when a man retires.” This is the result of two potent, forces, ’ which “in combination, have reduced the purchasing power of the dollar on one hand, and have made it impossible for even people with very large gross incomes to save substantial sums on the other. Force one is inflation. Today’s dollar, going by the government figures, is worth only a little more than half as much as the prewar dollar. Force two is taxation, Which now bites deeply into the incomes of moderate means, and takes most of the earnings of i people in the upper brackets. U. S. News reviews some of

Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh — the gifts of the Magi on the first Christmas nearly 2,000 years ago —were often dispensed in medicines of that era. The ancient “art’’ of the apothecary and the exacting sciencce that pharmacy is today are centuries apart. The apothecary of old and the pharmacist of otday offer contrasting studies that indicate the tremendous progress made during the intervening years. Despite the vast difference in knowledge and scientific method — both ancient and modern pharmacists have always had a common objective: helping to* heal the sick and the injured. And in the true practice of pharmacy, there is the embodiment of “Good Will to Men.’’ DR. H.B. WOODS CHIROPRACTOR Hours 10 A. M.—B P. M. Closed Thursday LIGONIER, IND. PHONE 71

the tremendous changes that have occurred since 1939. Taking into consideration the most recent tax increases, the man who earned $4,000 a year then, must receive a little better than ss,ooo now if he is to live as well — and relatively few people have bettered their nicomes to so great ian extent. The man who earned SIO,OOO must take in more than $25,000 if he is to take care of taxes and the results of inflation and have the same living standard as before. And, as you go up the Income ladder, the situation becomes almost fantastic. It takes an income of better than $3&5,000 a year to maintain living standards that could be bought for $50,000 in (19-39. It is obvious that not one man in hundreds of I thousands has een ale to Increase his gross so greatly. As a matter of fact, raises of salary, even tho they may be large, cannot solve the problerdi —for the simple reason that the tax collector is going to take a large part of the raise and, at high levels, most of it. According to the U. S. News computation, if a married man with a taxable income of slo,o*oo gets a SI,OOO raise, taxes will absorb nearly a third of it—s2’9o. if a married sloo*,ooo a year man gets a oost of slo,o'o'o, government will take more than twothirds of it — 7,700', leaving him $52,300. And the single man, of course, gets hit much harder. As the magazine points out, the

salaried, white-collar groups have been hit hardest so far. Wage earners have fared much better—the article says, "Inflation has raised their pay far more than it has raised their cost of living, and taxes are low where levied at all.” The average manufacturing worker, consequently, has had an increase in real wages of some 30 per cent since 1939. However, future tax increases, if they come, will of necessity cut deeper and deeper into lowerincome groups, so this situation may not be permanent. In any event, taxation and inflation are the biggest problem millions of middle-class Americans now face. And that’s why Congress is getting more and more restive over the Administration’s spending plans. 1951 Indiana Store License Extended One month has been added to the life of Indiana Store Licenses according to Indiana Store License Administrator, Frank Finney. The expiration date has been extended from! December 31 to January 31 in to give the applicant time to comply with a new provision of a law enacted in the last regular session of the General Assembly. The new statute requires each store owner to submit a notarized affidavit that his gross income tax for the year 1951 has been paid in full. The form is printed on the back of the store license application, and a license can not be issued unless it is filled in, states Mr. Finney. Applications for renewals will be mailed in early January.

U.S. Needs Civil Defense CITY AND COUNTRY DWELLERS HAVE VITALLY IMPORTANT JOBS (Tkw seventh of a series of articles on civil defeme, based on the booklet "This Is Ctvil Defense (repaired by the Federal Civil Defense Administration. It may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington DC for ten cents.) — * ■ • By MILLARD CALDWELL Federal Civil Defense Administrator

No matter where you live—city, town or countryI side—your part in civil defense is important. If you 1 live on a farm you are on the enemy’s high priority list for some kind of biological warfare attack. Your

livestock and crops may get hit by some kind of BW, and unless you are on the lookout for a possible sneak attack on what you produce, it might be too late to do anything about it. So it is of great importance to you that you know what to do in time. Civil defense will tell you.

If you live in a small town, you' have a special kind of civil defense job. And it is of great importance too, for it is helping and sheltering bombed out people from somd nearby city where public buildings and homes have been blasted or burned to the ground. The people in big cities are not going to panic and take to the hills, but thousands of them may have to be moved into jtour town for medical attention and help. May Be Evacuation Area ( There also will be young children, expectant mothers, invalids and old people to care for. Your locality might be named as an evacuation area for this purpose. If you are anywhere within reach of a major city, hospital facilities in your community surely would be tagged as reception areas for casualties. You understand now how important it is for you to take an active interest in your civil defense. If you live in a large city, you ■will have a critical civil defense job to do. You will serve both as part of the civil defense team and as a member of a family which must make every effort to take care of itself. Your duties in that capacity will be very vital. If your city has more than 50,000 population, you probably live in a target area. Watch how your com-

25 YEARS AGO DEC. 23, 1926. A daughter was born on Tuesday, Dec. 21, to Mr. and Mrs. H. D. McClintic at Kalamazoo, Mich. Syracuse students attending Indiana University this semester are Leon Connolly, Robert Riddle and Joseph Baytes.

Expensive For Enemy Any attack, even with regular bombs, is expensive for the [ enemy. Making it with atomic [ bombs costs a great deal more. An enemy would use atomic bombs only on targets which would pay-off in large scale damage. That means they would probably hit only the large cities, industrial centers, and other areas which would cripple our resources and upset the morale of our citizens. By looking at a population or industrial map of the United States, you can see that there are a limited number of areas which would be hit with atomic bombs.

Confiscate Automobile Os Night Hunter Indianapolis, Ind. — Cracking down on violators of hunting regulations, Conservation officers of the Fish and Game Division of the Indiana Department of Conservation recently arrested and convicted four persons for hunting at night on a highway and confiscated a large automobile and the shotgun used. Those arrested and fined a total of $231 were Mr. and Mrs. Clark Hampton and Mr. and Mrs. William E. Hilton, all of Indianapolis. Charges including hunting without a license; using artificial light by means of which to hunt, and shooting wild game along a public highway. Radio equipped' cars occupied by Major John Reath and Conservation Officers Richard Pattmafi, Ernest Fishel and Chester Brooks were cruising the Geist Reservoir District a night or two ago. The car operated by Officer Pattman and Fishel spotted the automobile driven by Hampton and noted that it was proceeding slowly. By radio they notified Major Reath who in turn moved into the vicinity.

Reath pulled off the road into a thicket just as the Hampton car approached. A rabbit hopped into the road into the path of the Hampton car and Hilton opened iftre with a shot gun killing the

animal. He jumped from the car, Major Reath said, and placed the animal inside. The arrests followed. The officers had a bit of difficulty in locating the rabbit because one of the women had concealed it beneath a fur coat. The case was tried before Marion County Justice of the Peace Frank Sisson, who concurred with the Conservation Department in confiscating the car and shotgun.
