To Smoke, Or Not To Smoke

To smoke or not to smoke, this is the question. . * This is a question that; is plaguing a lot of people these days. What with the government report linking smoking with throat and lung cancer, it gives one real cause for concern. Since the report is out, cigarette sales have dipped and cigar and pipe sales

Freedom Medals

President Lyndon B. Johnson recently awarded the Medal Qf Freedom to a number of distinguished Americans. He also made a posthumous award to the late John F. Kennedy, and three other now — deceased recipients. The Medal of Freedom was conceived by the late President Kennedy as a method for the nation to recognize those who contribute something of value, and who should be honored by the nation. It is a good system and the United

A Hard Hand On The Reins

Early in December, President Johnson, having then very recently succeeded to office, told an assemblage of business leaders . “Men in the Government are going to be recognized by not how much they spend but by how much they save.’’ / . It now remains to be seen to what extent, and in what ways, this policy will be implemented. The President has supported his words with directives both to government agencies and to the thousands

The Indiana retail sales tax b applied on sales that are tangible, personal, and at retail. The sales tax therefore does not apply to th» sale of personal property to farmers when the produet purchased is to be used for the production .of food or other agricultural commodities which are to be marketed. It has been determined that such purchases are not made at a retail level and that such inputs into manufacturing or production were not intended to be taxed at all levels along the production line. 3 . In order for the sale of tangible personal property to be tax exempt the following three conditions must be met. 1. The purchaser must be occupationally engaged in tlie production of agricultural commodb ties. 2 The ultimate product must be sold This would mean that purchases by farmers of‘tangible personal property to be used in production of food for his own family would not be tax exempt. As an example. I would presume that fertilizer fqr a field of wheat would be tax exempt but fertiliser for a home garden would not be. 3. The items purchased must be used in the production process. The guide lines on this are that they must become a part of the final product or be used to trans-

form or change the product. Examples of these could.be feed for livestock, stilbestrol implants for steers and electricity for a freezer in a locker plant. ’ This would mean that most of the production items on farms would not be charged a sales tax. Such things as seed, fertilizer, insecticides and feed would be tax free. Breeding livestock, feeder cattle, and feed would also not be taxed. Equipment, repair parts and fuel would be exempt. On the other hand, items that do not go directly. into costs of production would be charged. These would include the expenses that go into a part of the real property, such as fences, barns, silos, cribs and other permanent structures. While these are a part of the expense of production, they are also an asset to the va'ue of the real estate. Transportation equipment is also usually charged except in the case of trucks where they are used primarily in direct agricultural production. It is the responsibility of the farmer to claim the exemption. The seller chnnot do it for him unless he has fifaT with the seller an exemption certificate.

States has been in need of such an official form of recognition for a long time. Other nations have ways of honoring leading citizens. The British, of course, have the Queen s list of honors every year and men and women in all walks of life are given due recognition in this way. It is, therefore, appropriate that these Medals of Freedom have been established. They, should never be awarded lightly and they also never should be taken lightly. ' - ‘

But, so big and sprawling is the government, and so complex the chain of* command, that a hard and constant hand on the reins will be necessary if more than lip service is to be paid to the cause of economy. And only the President can apply that hand. In this, one can respectfully say, “More power to you, Mr. President.”

electricity purchased was predominently for production purposes. Other - than the specific purchases for producton, farmers pay the same tax as others. More Tax Deductions The Chicago Motor Club reminds Motorists to include certain car expenses when itemizing deductions on income tax returns. AU motorists may deduct the following items: “State automobile license fees; municipal vehicle tax fees; state gasoline taxes (five cents a gallon in Illinois: six cents a gallon in Indiana); casualty losses, not reimbursed by insurance or othermeans, if not due to willful negligence; interest paid on automobile loans; personal property tax; and state and city sales tax on automobiles. I If you use your car "for husiI ness,.you also may deduct the foll lowing - in whole or in part, depending upon the extent of business use; Motor Club dues; automobile in- - suijsnce premiums, depreciation; gasoline, oil. and lubricating exI peases; cost of all repairs; washing and polishing antifreeze and other winterizing service; and garage rent, parking | charges, and toll read fees. The Motor Club points out that costs incurred in driving to and from regular places of employment are not deductible for inincome tax purposes. If you use your car partly for pleasure and partly for business, items in the second group are deductible, only in proportion to the amount of use of the car for business purposes.

For a woman my age (I’m 52), who needs it! Is it advisable to return the gifts for something more in keeping. .. with sleeping? No Juliet Dear No: I wouldn’t advise returning the gifts. They could have been prompted by an over-anxious salesgirl or an under-anxious wife. up! Dear Amy: My husband is a very Jealous person and this has caused many arguments between us. He even goes to the extent of being jealous of our very closest friends. Perhaps there isn’t a cure for this bad habit (if you might call it that) but is there some way that he might control his jealousy. I know he loves me, and he means no harm. I love him very much, too, but sometimes it gets almost unbearable. Please try to solve my problem. Suspiciously Watched Dear Watched: If you have given your husband no reason whatsoever to behave the way he does, I am inclined to think his jealousy is psychosomatic. You would be wise to discuss this problem with your physician and urge your husband to do likewise. o o o Dear Amy: I am a fifteen year old girl.

Package . Violations Found | In Food Stores i Recently, it has been found that potatoes packed in plastic bags which are tinted a light brown color are being sold in retail food markets. The color of this tinted bag is such that it enhances the appearance of the potatoes by causing them to appear more deeply colored than they really are. It also disguises minor defects and tends to minimize bruises and irregularities in the potatoes. As a result, the consumer is : misled at the time of purchase regarding the quality of the product. Also found are carrots packed in plastic bags on which are printed, closely spaced, red lines. These of the carrots and create a decep- • tive appearance. The Indiana Food. Drug and Cosmetic Act prohibits the distribution of any food “if damage I or inferiority is concealed in any matter’* (Section 1952 (3) or ‘lf, its container is so made, formed, j or filled as to be misleading'' j

Pd like to say “Hi" to him when I see him in the hall, but I feel too selfconscious because we don’t know each other. I know he's noticed me, but I think he is slightly shy. So who should make the first move? I would also like to know whether or not it would be right for me to sit next to him on the bus on Saturday morning on the way to class? Trudy Dear Trudy: There’s nothing wrong in saying “Hi” to a boy who attends the same school as you. Some boys are too shy to make the first overture. A girl usually gets the friendship started and then the boy continues ... if he wants to. I wouldn't suggest that you take a seat next to him on the bus just yet. Be friendly, not pushy. First, see what HIS next move is! • • • Dear Amy: I have been married just one year and have a 2 month old son. I now find that I’m going to have another child.

bags enhance the orange-red color (Section 1956 (4). Samples-exam-ined indicate that potatoes packed in the light brown tinted plastic bags, and carrots packed in redstripped bags, violate both of these sections of the Indiana Statute. “We ate asking the cooperation of the owners of the retail food stores to protect the welfare of the consuming public by removing or repackaging the potatoes and carrots.
