(Special) Members of the Trempealeau County Historical Society will meet April 21 at the rural school they purchased and placed in the fairgrounds at Galesville. Articles of historical value stored at the Ford garage here will be moved to the school, which is to be a museum. TAYLOR HONOR ROLL TAYLOR, Wis. (Special) -Named to the A honor roll for I I ii through the Minnesota sales tax, most older adults will not get any additional tax cut unless their income falls below $2,000 a year, he added.

"In other words a senior citizen homestead owner with only $500 a year income could get an additional cut of 40 percent." The difference in income eligibility between renters and home owners has developed because of the general state-wide property tax relief provision of the state's sales tax law, in which all homeowners have already received a 35 percent reduction in homestead taxes. This is a greater percentage than is allowed to senior citizens with a total income between $2,000 and $3,500 so there is no advantage for them to file under the senior citizens tax relief law. TO MAKE A claim for a refund, eligible senior citizens should fill out a Minnesota state income tax form (M-l) and attach to it a Senior Citizens Income Tax Credit Schedule (Schedule SC) and also a copy of your tax statement or a certificate of Rent Paid signed by the landlord. The tax statement can be ob Boston Bakery Sold; Renamed To Denney's The Boston Cafe 4 Bakery, 167 E. 3rd has changed owners and names.

It is now known as Denney's Cafe. The restaurant, formerly known as the Boston Bakery, has been at the same location since 1868. LEO C. CTIBOR, who will be 70 on June 1, has sold the business which he has owned and operated 11 years. The new proprietor is Mrs.

Denise Myska, who operated the Avenue Cafe at 310 Man-kato Ave. for eight months. Winonans and area residents have been patronizing the cafe for 100 years. The first bakery in Winona was started in 1868, when Frank W. Schmidt of San Francisco came here to collect $500 he had loaned to a Winona artist, J.

C. Parrhysius. Parr-hysius persuaded young Schmidt to purchase a lot and start a bakery business here. Schmidt, a native of Germany, who came to the United States at the age of 14 and learned the bakery trade in Boston, accepted the idea and established the Boston Bakery. AFTER operating the bakery for about 17 years, Schmidt sold the business to Charles West-mann in 1885, who continued for 11 years before selling it back to Schmidt.

In 1900, Schmidt's son, Walter H. Schmidt, assumed operation of the business and continued until his son, Walter F. Schmidt, took over in 1940. The Schmidt family left the business in 1948 when it was sold to Ralph Keenan. Not including the 11 years that the bakery was owned by West-mann, three generations of the Schmidt family had operated the store a total of 69 years.

Keenan operated the bakery only two years, selling the equipment to Ernest Bloedow, who managed the business for about six to eight years. After Bloedow took over, the baking was done at Bloedow's Bakery, 451 E. Broadway, where it has been done since that time. Ctibor bought the business from Bloedow in 1957 and changed the name to the Boston Cafe and Bakery. The building is owned by the Winona Real Estate Agency.

CTIBOR, a former vaudeville entertainer, musician and printer, will partially retire. He will continue to operate the concession stands near the band-shell at Lake Winona and in Lake Lodge, just as he has the last five years. He also will visit fairs and other" celebrations with mobile concession units. During the fall and winter months he will do his magician act at various functions. The former Leo Ctibor's Orchestra folded up about five years ago when Ctibor retired as a musician.

The orchestra played in and around Winona for nine years but had been active since 1915. It played for dances in 37 states, mainly North Dakota and Montana, and also performed on excursion boats and circuses. Ctibor owned his own carnival in Minnesota for about, six years. It was called North Star Shows. WHEN HE owned and operated the Printing Co.

at 119 E. 2nd -St. for 18 years he supplied theatrical needs plus local billboards and dance, carnival and circus posters. A native of Winona, he is the son of the late Charles and Rose Rezab Ctibor. He and his wife Mildred reside on Prairi Island.

They Eifew! Excitini bifs Iron 1 11 April 15 is the deadline for Minnesota's low-income senior citizens to file a state income tax report to get the refunds provided for them in the tax relief law passed by the last session of the state legislature. "The tax cut will only benefit the lower social economic level," said Vern Smelser, program director for the Winona Older Adult Centers, who has assisted 120 local senior citizens in filling out the necessary forms. He does not compute the tax; senior citizens do THE REFUNDS are based upon the real estate "homestead" taxes for 1967 or rent paid during that year and vary according to the amount of taxes or rent and also upon the total income of the claimant; the lower the income is, the higher the percentage of the refund on taxes or rent. Information may be obtained at the council office on the second floor of the Red Cross Chapter House, 5th and Huff streets, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to noon.

Persons eligible for the refund must meet these qualifications: (1) Over 65 years of age during 1967 (born before Jan. 1, 1902) and a resident of the state for the entire year. (2) homeowners must have had a total income of less than $2,000 during the year and must have paid all taxes due in previous years. (3) renters must have a total income of less than $3,500, must have rented for the entire year and lived in one residence for at least six months. Persons who are receiving public funds (old age assistance, direct relief, etc.) to pay taxes or rent are not eligible.

THE RULING states that senior citizens who have a household income of less than $3,500 are eligible for a tax cut on homesteads, said Smelser.

OIWOI2H'S A combined legislative ap proach by the principal Minnesota veterans organizations is producing results in St. Paul, State American Legion Commander H. T. CoTbjornsen said here Tuesday evening. He told a 49th birthday audience that previously the veter ans' legislative efforts were fragmented by separate presentations and efforts, but now that the goals have been coordinated the organizations speak with one effective voice.

AS EVIDENCE of success, he said that building funds appropriated in 1961 for completion of the veterans service center on the capitol approach are being released, as are long-withheld repair funds for the Minnesota veterans Home. The commander who is a World War I veteran from Parkers Prairie said that the state Legion organization is concentrating in two other areas. On the Legion's interest in increased instruction in patriotism in the public schools, he reported that talks have been held with school officials. There is a staffing problem, he noted, but said that educators were interested in Legion instructional materials. THE THIRD area was an intensive study of a proposal that the state Legion employ a staff of its own to process Veterans Administration claims from veterans.

The Legion does have a rehabilitation staff, but its function is more of a coordinating nature and the claims are actually processed by the state Department of Veterans Affairs and the VA. The commander said that the decision now has been made not to make a change. In a brief reference to dissent, he said the American Legion believes that dissent is appropriate, particularly since it has been part of the fabric of our life since the nation's beginning; however, he declared, that it must be "responsible." In that connection, Maurice Godsey, commander of Leon J. Wetzel Post 9 here, announced that the post will sponsor a public dinner April 25 at which county law enforcement personnel will be honored. The national organization has a program to honor such personnel as part of its law and order activities.

Colbjornsen, who lives in Parkers Prairie, spoke at a joint Legion-Auxiliary dinner and at the post meeting which followed. AT THE dinner, at which Adolph Bremer presided, Commander Godsey presented a Bible to William Allaire, Owa-tonna teacher and coach and former resident of La Crescent and manager of the LeJetz baseball team five years. A gift also was presented to James Englerth, who is leaving the employ of the American Legion Memorial Club. Vice Commander Fred Thur-ley announced a membership of 1,109. Vice Commander Leo Prochowitz announced special activities for the club.

About 120 attended the dinner. La Crescent Unit Collects Articles For Vietnamese LA CRESCENT, Minn.
