Gene and Dennis, in this pursuit. Somewhat of a sportsman, Nick also enjoyed prowling the fields with gun in Ivn.i Nick's proudest accomp" -'-monl was 'the addition he added to his home and the tasteful manner in which it wa& decorated with love in everjRstroke of the brush.

Strictly the work of 4 children and NOT FUNNY. These signs were put up to protect the lake until the restriction can be lifted and will be a benefit to all.

TAX FACTS Members of the Illinois General Assembly, by close examination of witnesses testifying on bills involving the appropriation of money before the special session, point up the fact that the legislators are cognizant that the average taxpayer is paiying much more for government than he thinks he is, the Taxpayers' Federation of Illinois said today. As lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have emphasized at this season, only people pay taxes in the final analysis, and so they really pay not only their own taxes but much of the tax on corporations which must be passed on somewhere as a cost of doing business. Although some people support the theory of '"making the corporations pay", it is not difficult to see that most taxes on business are simply passed along to the consumers in the form of higher prices or rates. They then become "hidden taxes." It is difficult to say exactly how much any one taxpayer pays in hidden taxes during the course of the year. However, some idea of the sizable amount of taxes in any one article is gained from a count the Tax Foundation, Inc., made to show that there are at least: 110 taxes on an egg; 116 taxes on a man's suit; 150 taxes on a woman's hat; 151 taxes on a loaf of bread and 600 taxes on a house. One rough estimate, according to the Foundation, of all taxes paid by a family with a $5,000 annual income, places the total tax burden, including hidden and direct taxes, at about $1,600. Excess taxes repfesent new clothes for the kiddies not bought,unbuilt factories, new businesses not started, operations postponed, and many other things that might have been were taxes not so high. The committee, when picking out the date for the family picnic, forgot all about Father's day June 19. so they decided that was going to be a busy day for dad and changed the date to the twenty-sixth of June. Rummage Sale Vickie Rogal said that the week before the sale which will be held on June 25, you can drop your items at the hall and she will be glad to accept them. So start getting all the things together that may be useless to you but useful to some one else. are out of school some of them think that they are the only ones on the road and are apt t^ forget about you.
