EDITORIAL Address: 1952 Version On our desk the other day we found lying there copy quoted below. From what newspaper it was clipped we don't know. Hut tagged to it was a note initialed VAG- -Vic Gibbs, maybe. Anyway, we're all brothers at the tax bar, and it's divvy time. Don't let on it doesn't hurt, because there isn't a family budget i in town not wrecked by exorbitant taxes levied by the federal government to support needless and wasteful spending.

But may we be philosophical: Read it and weep or laugh, as the mood strikes you: "One score and 16 rears ago our fathers brought forth upon this nation a new tax. conceived in desperation and dedicated to the proposition that all men are fair game. "Now we are engaged in a great mass of calculations testing whether that taxpayer or any taxpayer so confused and so impoverished can long endure. We are met 011 Form 1040. We have come to dedicate al large portion of our income to a final resting place with those men who here spend their lives that they may spend our money.

"It is altogether anguish and torture that we should do this. But in the legal sense we cannot evade--we cannot cheat--we cannot underestimate this tax. The collectors, clever and sly, who computed here have gone far beyond our power to add and subtract. "Our creditors will little note nor long remember what we pay here, but the Bureau of Internal Revenue can never forget what we report here: It is for us taxpayers rather to be devoted here to the tax return which the government has thus far so nobly spent. It is rather for us to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these vanished dollars we take increased devotion to the few remaining; that we here highly resolve that next year will not find us in a higher income tax bracket.

"That this taxpayer, under paid, shall figure out more deductions: and that the taxation of the people by the congress for the wovernment, shall not cause our solvency to perish." -Run of the Mill. Countryside Tabby Proud of Her Kittens By SUSAN Although blankets the ground again. it a soft, beguiling snow. and underneath it spring is coming. We walked through it woods near hero this week end, before the snow fell.

Spring was in the air, new clamoring smell about the leaf mold. and w. knelt and listened. We won't say that we hoard anything. You wouldn't believe us.

All that we can say is for you to go out in your woods and listen for yourself. You will forget for :1 little while, war and rumorot war, and the world will fall back into focus, as God meant to have it do. WAR IS NEVER blithe. in any sense of the word, but news sources make it scem like a game of tag. This morning we heard over the radio that 50 American jets chased 90 Russian Sligs around and around.

It didn't sound like war at all. Yet we know and you know that American men lost their lives in this blithe-sounding game of hide and seek. Spring for them will never come again and surely there is some way that we, this great American country, could put a stop to this insanity. Is empire and influence so vital? Wouldn't it be just a3 good to get back to the woods and meadows and the hills and watch spring come? Or are w'e simply crazy? 'CONVENTION Cooperative Creamery Has Annual Meeting BY MRS.

One we put in a white pot with no over and the other in one with drainage. W'. drainage intended getting another container with a hole in it for the one plant but time went on and other more: urgent matters prevented. So we kept feeling sorry for the poor little ivy plant that had no drainage But lately it has been growing and spreading and looks very thrifty, and the other one is drying up. Ivy must thrive on neglect.

TAFFY HAS THREE kittens. The boys say they wish they could induce their hogs to be as prolific As she. Going on twelve years old, this magnificent, Persian matriarch, becomes more maudlin and dra. matic over each litter. Just as soon as she got their faces washed and herself tidied up a bit, she had to show them off.

Three trips she made, each time with a kitten in her mouth, to our three bedrooms, and woke each one of us by her proud mewing. All of us had to pat her and brag on her kittens and accompany her back to their cozy hideout: a combination pallet and tent-affair she insisted on making out of Albert's old bathrobe. He'd get a big kick out of that, and no doubt is secretly chuckling over her complimentary tribute to his old robe. Fatherbille Bally News.
