Mr. Philip Cooper of the Metropolitan staff of the Chicago Tribune will be the guest speaker Labor Day Activities Sponsored By Kiwanis Draw Large Crowds Of course, there are answers, some o and some not so good, for such a statement. We hope the Reâ€" publicaris come up with an answer and ‘we hope it‘s a good one. We hope the answer doesn‘t deal in the perâ€" centages saved by the $50,000 a year man,.And the $60 a week man. The $60 a week man isn‘he Canyo in perâ€" centages. He‘s dealing in dollars andyc.% & ed his family. *_~ uies to H Yessir,â€"that one was=just made to order for the Democrats, who are selling the theory that the Republiâ€" can party is the party of the p=vileged few. The nice slow ball they pitched him was, of course, the GOP appeal to Republicans to contribute funds from the income tax cut to the Republican National Comâ€" mittee. The appeal was headed "Don‘t Feed the Elephant Peanuts," and pointed out that people with an income of $50,000 saved $7,533, those with $25,000, $3,445 and those with an income of $15,000 saved $1,026. President Truman carried the table a Jittle further. He pointed out that a family man making $60 a week, saved only $1.65 and that increased prices ate up the $1.65 and another $1.50 besides. Who knows, your home or place of business may catch fire while we are out on these useâ€" less fires. These measures are due to the fact that we can only run two pieces of apparatus due to the shortage of man power. The great danger is that once a fire gets out of your .control you are liable for any damages to your neighbors property. Your Fire Department asks your cooperation in burning grass, rubbish and open fires during this extreme dry spell. Before starting fires call your fire Department, we will send a man to investigate and if conâ€" ditions are safe you will be aâ€" Howed to burn with care. If the heads of the Republican party are being obâ€" jective in their scoring on the presidential campaign, they credited President Truman with a base hit for his referâ€" ence at Flint, Michigan, to the income tax reduction. The fact that they tossed him a slow, easy ball, chest high, over the heart of the plate, doesn‘t odetract from the fact that he saw it coming and smacked it.
