The Lioness Club hopes to sponsor the Bloodmobile as a community service project three or four times each year, and urges citizens to participate in this life-saving program. Cancer Crusade Progressing Well The Warren County Cancer Crusade is progressing toward its goal of $3,600, Mrs. Mary D. Williams. Crusade chairman. reported this week. Mrs. Williams said crusaders are taxing the fight against cancer into all communities of Warren County. Mrs. Williams said she will receive crusader's reports each Friday afternoon from 2 until 4 o'clock at the Community Center in Warrenton On any other day, she said, the reports can be left with Mrs. Louise Burnette, center librarian. Candidates (Continued from page 1) toned men as deputies and men who could work together. Wallace Brown, in answer to a question, said that his health is good, and that while it is true that he resigned from the Highway Patrol because of physical disabilities, he had resigned to avoid a back operation, but found that he had to take it two years later, and as a result is in excellent health. Dorsey Capps said that he was appointed deputy when Jim Hundley was sheriff, and when Hundley was succeeded by Clarence Davis in 1965, that Sheriff Davis named him as his chief deputy and he has retained that appointment until the present. Evaders Cost Us All (Continued from page 2) the newspaper reports. The IRS says taxes not paid on income from drugs, gambling, and prostitution account for just $6 billion to $10 billion of the $95-billion gap in taxes due but evaded. The rest is blamed on corporations, yes, but also on persons disguising capital gains, concealing dividend and interest income, reporting unsupportable deductions, and failing to report income received in cash such as tips and similar compensations. The Monitor notes that many persons are demanding payments for odd jobs or services in cash rather than by check so the IRS cannot track down their sources of taxable income. Why, the Monitor asks, are more and more Americans evading their taxes? "Has America turned into a nation of artful tax dodgers?" the newspaper wonders. Not necessarily; but many American taxpayers are growing angry over the ways and means of their government, the Monitor points out. Robert Mclntyre of Citizens for Tax Justice says tax dodgers "are cheating because they're angry." He said the anger swells when people read about tax loopholes that favor the rich and large corporations at the expense of middleclass Americans and small businessmen. The Monitor goes on to point out that taxpayers' anger is not the only reason for rising income-tax evasion. Other causes are frequent changes in the complex U. S. tax code, "slap-on-thewrist" penalties in some publicized cases of tax fraud, and "a general increase in taxpayer sophistication" associated with Americans' rising incomes pushing them into higher tax brackets. What may we conclude from all this? At least two important points: (1) It is crucial that President Reagan and Congress do all they can to make the U. S. Tax Code fair to all Americans during these perilous economic times; and (2) The Federal Government had better get its fiscal house in order soon before the public loses all confidence that its tax dollars are being invested for the good of many rather than for the benefit of a selected few. We ought to be proud to pay taxes in this free land for servies and public works that make life better for present and future generations. But unless our leaders in Washington by their actions can reverse a swelling tide of cynicism and outright disgust over paying taxes, we may be sowing seeds of destruction for American society as we've known it.

Agronomist's Corner Swarms Of Insects Descend On Warren By RUSSELL C.KING Associate Agricultural Extension Agent Have you been bugged this week? If you have not, you must not have gone outside. Swarms of black insects with red leg markings have descended on Warren County. These insects are called March Flies or Love Bugs. They go by the scientific name of Bibio-femoratus. Normally, these insects come out in late March and April. They have only one generation and normally feed on decaying vegetation. Sometimes they will feed on grass and some ornamentals, but they usually do not create a great deal of damage. The March Fly has a great deal of oil in its body, and it can cause stains on automobile surfaces. It does not sting or bite and is considered beneficial. Even through the March Fly moves slowly, birds will not feed on it. It is thought that birds do not like the taste of these insects. high school rings Diamonds $150 Specially Priced with this ad.
