The seals, part of the holiday tradition, have been used for more than half a cen tury to decorate Christ mas cards and packages. “We expect wider use of Christmas Seals this year than ever before,” said Dr. Leo W.

God bless each of you, and thank you so much. P THE FAMILY. WHY AONE CENT Taxes? Yes, I pay taxes just as you do on r income, property, gasoline and sales tax on I purchases. Since lam a public employee lam f paid from tax funds but I pay my part. | County and City government is a business, l a business of the citizens, run by officials we t people elected to do the job. We expect these j officials to give us the services we need and want. It takes money to pay for these services. We need and want a clean, progressive county and town for the best living possible. Good living means good health, schools, streets, water and sewage and many other advantages. These are not just for property owners but al so for non-property owners as well. At present, the main source of income to pay for our county and city needs and wants is property taxes. Why shouldn’t all of us, property owners and non-property owners, join together in helping pay the bill? I suggest that every voting citizen give this careful consideration. The additional sales tax of one cent may eventually lower property taxes some. But, if it doesn’t lower property taxes it should tend to keep the burden from getting heavier. It will also help spread the burden to all of us. Think this over very carefully and on No vember 4 cast your vote as you think best for all of our people. C. W.
