Showing which way the wind blows Largest tax bill Approximately $2,510,300 is being paid by Interstate Power Co. this year for real estate and personal property taxes to the 49 counties in Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois and South Dakota in which the company operates.

The largest single payment was $437,200 to Cerro Gordo, County. Based on a valuation of $5,586.922, the payment represented an increase of some 000 over 1958. Interstate is taxed for both electric and gas facilities in this county. The company's property and real estate taxes this year are $308,000 higher than last year. These payments are only a small part of Interstate Power's total tax bill, however.

During 1958 the company paid nearly, $5,919,800 in taxes, of which more than $3,469,200 was for income taxes. These figures are from the company employes magazine, Interstate News, published in Dubuque. Mead Schenck and Jean Kean are the editors. John G.

Want Van Doren It seems that a lot of people -NBC and Columbia University excepted. now feel they could use the services of quiz winner Charles Van Daren. But the northwestern Minnesota village of Hallock apparently had the idea first.

Residents of Hallock elected, Van Doren constable on the day he was fired by NBC following his admissions that his quiz show performances were rigged. Twenty-eight persons received votes and five ins for Van Doren gave him two more votes his two nearest rivals. Like the hippopotamus that won an election in Brazil, Van Doren can't serve. He is not a resident of Hallock, as the constable must be. lowans now have made two bids for Van Doren's services, more legitimate ones.

Less delinquency In last week's Saturday Evening Post, Judge Mary Kohler gave these three basic reasons why Europe has less juvenile delinquency (han, America: 1. Americans are more hostile toward adolescents. As result we do not plan for the problems of youth.

The American juvenile is more likely to be out of control and in deep trouble before he gets any attention. Problems of European youth are more often anticipated and hence solved before they be. come critical and need police or court action. 2. We Americans seem almost obsessed with prolonging the childhood of adolescents.

The European youth has an opportunity to participate in adult; sncicty at an carlier age and develops a sense of responsibility and a feeling of his worth when he is much younger. 3. Europcans treating juven-1 jlc delinquency do not make a felish of scientific They improvise; they are will-1 ing to work with what is at hand because they do not have huge amounts of moncy. They dol what the heart dictates. They arc more flexible, less dogmatic and -it appears--much more successful.

Hit by drought The Milwaukee Road been hard hit by a drought and, the steel strike, but may still be able to carn its $1.50 a share, common dividend this year, according to Ed Kandlik, writing in the Chicago Daily News busi-1ness section. A decline in grain because of.

drought along its route brought a $1,450,000 loss of revenues and the steel walkout and added $870,000 decline 'in September earnings.

Highway commission okays school zone warning signs Mason City officials were notified Monday that the State Highway Commission has approved a City Council recommendation for use, of portable signs to warn drivers of school zones on highways. Mayor George E. Mendon Monday morning had not learned exactly what size of sign is suggested or what the wordling of the sign would be.

However, the signs are to be of the "Slow" or "Caution- School Zone" type to be placed in the streets during times when youngsters are going to or from school. They would be set out as an additional warning before drivers come to school stop signs or signals. The use of such signs was sug. gested at last week's City Council meeting by a delegation repCouncil.

At your library Books on World War men in battle reviewed By RAY SMITH and the sense of confusion Library Director John Toland's "Battle: The Story of the Bulge" during World War II describes "the greatest pitched battle ever fought by the United States." Into the telling went 1,000 interviews conducted in 10 countries concerning this last furious counter West during. Germany December in 1944, with loss of control on both sides in shrouding fog and snow. Bastogne's defense threw off the Nazi timetable, and clearing weather on Dec. 23 brought American airpower and the turning point. This reviewer remembers the Christmas Eve which followed as the 4th Armored Division moved up to rescue the trapped 101st Airborne, and one simple unforgettable celebration (over fresh eggs) in a Belgian farm home.

They are coming here through, the Associated Clubs, of which the local club is a member.

The Tuckers first gained fame in Boston, where Tom, blindfolded, took the wheel of a car and with Betty beside him but giving 110 instructions except by telepathy, drove through that city's crowded streets with a journalist 'in the car who thought they would never make it. During the journey they passed dozens of cars, turned the proper corners at the right stopped at street lights and stop signs, and once Tom abruptly halted the car when a pedestrian suddenly strode in its path.
