About Those Fireworks . @ Numerous complaints have been reaching the police departâ€" ment in regard to the disturbances caused by the premature shootâ€" ing of fireworks in the city limits. Many painful injuries have been suffered as a resylt of fireâ€" works accidents. The temporary enjoyment of a moment‘s specâ€" tacular noise has often resulted in the loss of an eye or painful burns to the participants or innocent bystanders. As a result of these everâ€"present dangers city ordinances and state statutes are in exâ€" istence which forbid the sale and possession of fireworks. :. @ President Truman has vetoed the GOPâ€"sponsored income tax relief bill, giving as one of his reasons, that the bill does not give the small taxpayer enough relief. So instead of giving him inadeâ€" quate relief, Harry isn‘t going to give him any. He isn‘t going to ‘take any chances on inflation. Not if keeping the little guy bled white will prevent it, he won‘t. 5 Vol. 37 ; No. 17 Mayor Robert F. Patton held a recent conference with the Chief of Police in regard to these firecracker disturbances and accidents.
