Have you seen the remodeling and redecorating at the Syracuse town hall ? It's amazing how a little paint can cover up the old and make everything look fresh and new. However, women have been doing this for years. Remodeling seems to be on the agenda for the Church of God, too. Due to increasing attendance at Sunday school, a nursery and another classroom are being built upstairs over the front entrance. Louis Firestone, and other members, talented in the art of driving nails, are nearing completion on this project. A groundhog with cataracts on both eyes wouldn’t have had any

If the day is cloudy and shadowless. he will stay outside, anticipating an early spring. This stems from an old European belief that a sunny Candlemas Day (Feb. 2, A Religious Festival) meant six more weeks of winter weather. Even though we are to have six more weeks of cold weather, it just ain’t gonna be cold enough for the winter carnival. Guess we’H just have to wait 'til next year.

Spotlight on Improving Business ... *• There Is No Substitute For Paper As Major Medium For Advertising ■.•• X • ■ ' . • By Arch Baumgartner PublwTier THE M A/L-JOUP.VAL

It is a pity that retailers so often have to learn the same;: lesson over and over again through cost and hardship . . . ' 1 This observation was njade by Edward F. Engle, official of the National Retail Merchants Association. Mr. Engle was referring to the importance of newspaper advertising to retail trade. Mr. Engle’s conclusions were the result of a study made in New York city after a prolonged strike closed major Among the findings reported were: £ (1) There is no substitute for the newspaper as a major medium for retail advertising. V . (2) “Creeping disaster” to retail business gradually follows the absence of newspaper advertising. (3) The downtown area of any

luth, and is a junior at North Central college, III. Mr. Georgesen is a graduate of Denfeld high school, Denfeld, Minn., and the Carey Gospard School of Business in Duluth. At present he is serving in the U. S. Coast Guard at Alameda, Calif. An April wedding is being planned.

city is unified shopping center. When “big store” advertising is not present, the entire center - including small stores, services, restaurants - feels the effect. (4). Advertising is essential to modem retailing. Without advertising,. retail merchandising would be in a choatic state. Turnover and stock needs would be impossible to predict. The ultimate loser from inadequate advertising, then, is the consumer who pays for losses due to slow turnover, .waste, and high per item selling costs. USE CARE IN TAX RETURNS Sterling M. Dittrich, district director of Internal Revenue, cautioned taxpayers in the state of Indiana to be especially careful in preparing and addressing their federal and state income tax returns. In implementing the Adjusted Gross Income Tax c Act passed by the 1963 General Assembly, the state has patterned 1 its forms and instructions after those used by the Federal Government. The sim- 1 ilarity of the Federal and State returns, both in format and form number, is causing many Hoosier taxpayers to send their returns to the wrong office. Mr. Dietrich said that his office has already received several thousand state returns. Likewise, the State Department of Revenue has erroneously received many Federal tax returns and remittances. In concluding, Mr. Dietrich cautioned everyone not to mail their Federal and State income tax returns in the same envelope. Federal returns witn cnecks attached for taxes due should be carefully addressed to the District Director of Internal. Revenue, U. S. Post Office and Court House, Indianapolis, Ind., 46204. State returns should be sent to Indiana Department of Revenue, State Office Building, Indianapolis, Ind., 46204.
