Tax credits below official expectations

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Income tax credits for gifts to colleges and universities are below the expectations of officials at the Indiana Department of Revenue. Deputy revenue commissioner James R. Gardner, said here about 100,000 eligible claims for direct income tax credit for gifts to colleges and universities would be received this year, compared to a preliminary 450,000 estimate made at the request of Governor Branigin before the bill became a law. As a result, commissioner William L. Fortune is projecting the reduction in. tax revenue from the new law, which was * * * Mammon was the ancient Syrian god of possessions. * * * Pearls found in restaurant oysters are not of gem quality.

the first of its kind in the nation, at $750,000. But he warned this was only a tentative figure. Fortune said refunds for college gifts to individuals stood at $131,196. No separate sub-total was available on credits to corporations. The indicated reductions were a far cry from the $5 to $10 million estimates of revenue reduction from the new law which opponents had voiced and was well below the maximum which the revenue department experts figured might be drained from tax payments. Fortune and Gardner believed many taxpayers do not under, stand their legal refund rights on gifts to colleges. The Association of Indiana Colleges, through Indiana Gentral College President I. Lynd Esch, expressed disappointment that more persons did not take advantage of the new law, unique among the states, to make contributions to colleges and get partial tax refunds. He expressed a belief that the tax form will serve to provide more awareness among taxpayers of the college credit law. “There is a feeling the tax from itself will have a beneficial effect but that it didn’t come in time for this year. The tax form didn’t get into the hands of most taxpayers until 1968. We hope the form will be good publicity for next year,” Esch said.

Lighter side By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI)—Anyone who is dedicated to his profession (which means he can’t find a better job) will endure all sorts of hardships to carry out his duties. On Thursday morning I arose two hours earlier than usual, skipped breakfast and drove 10 miles in rush period traffic with a hangover in order to reach the Smithsonian Institution in time to see Sen. Warren G. Magnuson enshrine a halibut. More dedicated than that you can hardly get. The ceremony I witnessed came about because an employe of the Senate Commerce Committee happened to notice that the only halibut enshrined at the Smithsonian was a Greenland halibut. Patriotic Move A feeling developed within the committee that a museum operated by the U.S. government ought to be displaying a red-blooded, 100 per cent American halibut. So arrangements were made to have Magnuson, the committee chairman, present the Smithsonian with a West Coast specimen. By an odd coincidence, it is the same halibut that was exhibited at the Seattle World’s Fair in Magnuson’s home state. I’m sure the Smithsonian is delighted with the acquisition, although its delight may have been intensified by the fact that Magnuson is an influential figure in Congress. There is, I have heard, a fairly heavy traffic in stuffed fish, fowls and mammals around the capital. When a denizen of the deep or wild is given to the government, it may be displayed in accordance with the prominence of the donor. Should the donor later become less prominent, his gift may be moved to more obscure surroundings. I personally know of a moose head that was transferred from a museum to a private club. Companion to Whale At any rate, the halibut was given a place of honor near the Smithsonian’s blue whale. Which in my opinion it richly deserved. I doubt there is any danger it will be moved to, say, the renegotiation board ater Magnuson retires. For the halibut is an extremely interesting fish. A baby halibut starts out like any other baby fish, but at some point his left eye migrates over to the right side of his head. Thus he winds up with both eyes on the same side, like the women in Picasso’s paintings. You know how to determine the age of a halibut? You count the rings on his ear bone. I don’t run across fascinating information like this every day. Which proves that some days it pays to be dedicated.

By STEVEN GERSTEL WASHINGTON (UPI)—Backers of tighter new controls on the sale of guns sought more support Friday amid numerous signs that some of the legislation’s stiffest opposition was dissolving. At issue is the administration’s new bill which would ban the mail order sale of handguns, rifles and shotguns and limit store sales to state residents 21 or older. Both houses already have passed, in a crime measure awaiting President Johnson’s signature, a provision which would apply the limitations to handguns only. Several senators, previously outrightly opposed or only lukewarm to tighter gun laws, indicated Thursday they were reassessing their positions on the stronger legislation. Chief among these was Senate GOP leader Everett M. Dirksen, who said he had “no objection” to extending gun control legislation to long guns as well as handguns. Only a few days ago, the Illinois senator said there already were enough laws on the books—that no new bills were needed. Thursday, however, he said that if the administration made a good case for stiffer controls called for in its bill, “I would be delighted to support it.” Dirksen joined Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield in softening opposition to tighter controls on gun sales. Mansfield, who has opposed moves for more rigid legislation, said he was leaning toward stronger controls. Dirksen’s House counterpart, Rep. Gerald R. Ford, also said the administration gun bill has “a good deal of merit.” He said if Atty. Gen. Ramsey Clark and other administration officials make a good case for it, “and I suspect they can, the (House Judiciary) Committee and Congress will take affirmative action.”

Extension news By JERRY WILLIAMS County Youth Agent

This past Wednesday, we completed our 4-H Camp which was held at Shakamak State Park. The camp started on Sunday, June 9. This is always a very interesting experience, but it is demanding on the adults to try to keep the pace of the campers. Putnam County had 158 campers and leaders plus 4-H’ers from Parke, Vermillion and Owen Counties. The total camp enrollment was 344 campers. As you have noticed Putnam County had the largest number of campers. Putnam County can be proud of the interest that the boys and girls show in the 4-H activities. Many interesting observations can be made of the boys and girls while at camp. Generally, a person can make a good guess of the ones that are away from home for the first time, who have chores to do at home such as picking up their clothes, making their bed and etc...The ones who sleep in sleeping bags have no problem making their bed, but some of the others have quite a time getting their covers situated. I have found that the boys are much easier to get to go to sleep at night. Girls evidently have much more talking to do than the boys. Also the girls seem to always decide that they need to go to the bathroom after lights are to be out. This camp was one of the best behaved camps which I have ever worked. They seemed to have a better appetite than most camps. I have been to some camps that the campers would not participate. This camp did very well considering the extreme heat we had. The temperature brings up another point. Swimming was probably their favorite activity, and understandably so. Someone in our state government has made a decision that has interferred

with this activity. All state park beaches are closed on Mondays. This happened to be the hottest day of our camp. This is not only bad for camps such as ours but for the families that are camping in the parks. I am sure that these officials have have a good reason for this decision, which is probably finances. I hope that this will be taken care of by next year. The classes this year included modeling by Mrs. John Robertson, grooming and make up, crafts, football, basetball by Pat Rady, gun safety, highway and bicycle safety, nature, yell leading, recreation, and baton twirling by Judy Fordice. The other counties helped furnish the instructors for the classes that did not have an instructor listed. The State Junior Leader Conference was held at the State 4-H Center near Lafayette. This is a leadership training conference for the outstanding Junior Leaders in the state. It is sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Indiana. The Greencastle Kiwanis Club was the sponsor of the Putnam County group. Those attending were Cathy Niles and David Carrington of Russellville, Debbie Alcorn of Bainbridge, Teddy Brewer and Marie McKee of Greencastle, Nancy Arnold and Stephanie Vaughn of Fillmore. Someone is going to ask why some areas of the county were not represented. These delegates were selected on a county basis according to the merits of their work and not where they live. There were a few that could not go because of the late field work. I am anxious to hear the report of the conference. Becky McFarland and Carolyn Torr were .istructors at the conference. There will be a Junior Leader meeting Monday night at the Fairgrounds. State Policeman Jack Hanlon will be the speaker.

DEAK HELOISE: A while back a lady complained to you about her garbage disposal smelling and you told her to be sure she got all the food through and to run plenty of water. It was excellent advice, but when I got my disposal I had the same trouble and being sure it was clean didn’t help much. I found the odor came from what splattered back UP to the top and didn’t wash off with cold water. So I changed and washed the dishes on the side of my double sink where the disposal is. Now it gets washed with detergent water three times a day and no more odor. I just rim the disposal a little as my dish water is draining out. Mrs. VV. M.

(UPI)— Americus Liberator, the cowboy who finished last in last month’s Nebraska Republican primary, says he’s writing President Johnson to ask for Secret Service protection. His handlebar mustache bristling, Liberator said Thursday he’s still a candidate for president and deserves Secret Service protection as much as the other candidates— Harold Stassen, for example. Liberator said that while Stassen beat him in the Nebraska primary, he beat Stassen in some precincts.

love. Coffee cans are a great boon in keeping food fresh and unbroken. However, it’s not too easy to get many pieces of fudge in a one-pound coffee can. We just hit on a brain-storm that has solved this problem. Instead of cutting the fudge in squares, we turn the can upside down and use it for a CUTTER and cut out large, round pieces. Then with wax paper in between, put in as many circles as the can will hold. Works great! As these cans are open at one end with a plastic cover, the Post Office Department wants them wrapped. They fit perfectly in a half-gallon milk carton which is then real easy to wrap.
