Christians need Dear Editor: It s unfortunate, there’s hard feelings concerning some fun damental Christians* involvement in politics These fundamentalists believe the scriptures are the infallible, inspired Word of God and should strive to live by them I believe it’s long over-due for fundamentalists to make a stand against immorality, which has been on the rampage across our beloved country for some time, now God’s Word says. ’ The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Women's retreat topic for WMS The Women’s Missionary Society of the Milford First Brethren Church met Thursday, Feb. 5, in the home of Mrs Jerry Leiter Announced (hiring the meeting was the upcoming women's prayer retreat in Shipshewana on March 8-8 A sewing day will be held on February 19at 9a m inthe home of Mrs. Leiter The club members decided to make noodles to sell on February 23 at 9 am. in the church All proceeds from the sale will go towards the WMS project.

Fithian said his bill would provide tax relief to more than 95 per cent of the country's familyowned farms and businesses. “Family farms and businesses are a vital part of our economy and our society.” Fithian said. “They contribute to our productivity, something we desperately need “It's unfair to force a surviving spouse to sell a farm or business just to pay the taxes.

i ßeport from your | I , State Representative I THAMES MAUZY J f
Two tax items of significance got House attention last week. One of those measures passed and one failed, making it the first bill of the session to meet defeat. In 1974, Indiana led the nation by instituting the first solar energy tax deduction. Building on that reputation as -a promoter of > alternate energy sources, the House passed a bill Monday ; which should encourage the recovery of oil from Indiana oil 1 shale reserves. If the Senate and Governor also approve, the bill would expand a current law allowing a tax break | for coal gasification or liquification to include produc- . tion of an energy form having almost twice the power of Indiana coal. While there is no existing system which could qualify for the tax incentive, an Indiana company now doing a feasibilitystudy of producing oil from Indiana shale could lead to plant • construction in Clark County within two years. That facility could produce up [ to 50.000 barrels of oil a day Or. for every two tons of shale mined, a barrel of oil could be extracted Another benefit of the development could be jobs. An estimated 2.500 people could be up to work during the construction phase and up to 1.200 permanent jobs created when the plant reaches maximum production While southern Indiana is the focus of current oil shale activity, there is a narrow band of oil shale outcropping close to the surface throughout much of the state, according to the EnergyDevelopment Board This bill could help make it more

economically feasible to take advantage of that resource, and at the same time, help reduce our dependence on foreign energy. Another positive aspect of oil derived from oil shale is that the mining operation does not create environmental problems. In fact, when the land is properly reclaimed, it is often _ more productive than it was before. The second tax bill was submitted by those who want to help Hoosiers avoid the tax penalty on marriage. They met with defeat when the biJi to permit shortterm legal separation in Indiana was voted down Wednesday. 4453. There was no one who disputed that it is unfair that two-pay-check married couples must paytaxes on combined earnings and not on their separate, individual income. But there was considerable debate over the ethics of creating a loophole to avoid the tax. Committees continued to work to ready bills for the amending and passage stages in the House, and eligible for attention next week on the floor will be such proposals as a bill- to target violent criminals earlier, a proposal to allow grandparents to petition for visitation rights after divorce or death, and. a bill to require public high schools to allow military recruiters to visit to interview and inform students of military opportunities.

I want to urge you to continue to take advantage of the House toll free telephone service by dialing 1-800-382-9841 to keep me informed of your views and reactions to matters before the legislature
