Gated, a
HOUSE AND HOME: Women arc
warned that subtle propaganda will
be presented to them through theii
clubs by speakers who appear un-
der auspices with patriotic names
and Interior aims. The part of wo-
men in the future is to be pre-
dominant in whatever contributes
to the healing of war hurts and
the upbuilding of nations. This
fact is recognized by Axis sup
porters who will work with the ut
most zeal and cleverness to per-
pick American minds wherever
they cannot overcome democratic
loyalties ssS
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: In the
manufacture for substitutes OF
many sorts new fortunes will be
made and old manufacturing in
terests that depend upon raw ma
terials will be inevitably undec-
mined. In the scale of prosperity
there will be many gains that
overbalance losses. Activity in mer-
camille and manufacturing inter-
ests will be intense all through this
year. Generous spending will con-
tinue Many variations in methods
and outlets are forecast for mer-
chandising. ~ ~
NATIONAL ISSUES: Secrecy in
Washington which is absolutely
necessary in the defense program
will be misinterpreted by critics of
the administration policies Even in
a democracy hidden purposes are
important, the seers emphasize.
There are aspects presaging more
treachery in international diplo-
macy and acts of disloyalty in do
fneStic matters. Again astrologers
emphasize the need of unity and
cooperation in all national hopes
and plans.
INTERNATIONAL FAIRS:
Incidents that push the United
States more and more dangerously
into the World War will multiply
and next month will be exceeding
ly perilous. The stars presage cease
less activity for the Navy and the
air forces. Russia is to be affected
by benefic aspects and after March
81 should prove more successful,
for the new Sun cycle promises
marked progress in overcoming
Germany New war fronts and in
creasing complications for the Al
lies are prognosticated
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year of
changes with good and bad luck
alternating, but ultimate gain is
indicated

which enable them to accomplish
much in research work, also in re-

THE NELSON SYSTEM

Certain dollar-a-year boys who
used to rule the roost in the old
OPM are learning that those balmy
days are over. M r.
One of these masterminds got a
short but pointed lesson on this
fact the other day. War produc-

him In and outlined a certain job
he wanted done and how it should
be done.

Babson Park. Mass. June s.
While We are reading and hearing
great deal today about our Fed

lose sight OF our state and local
tax situations This is now OF
vital importance 10 every property
holder and even 10 those who rent

Declining Revenues
States. counties. cities and towns
will be surprised at the way their
income Is going 10 melt away.
With nationwide gas rationing
this summer. gasoline taxes will
surely decline. This also applies
to automobile registrations, garage
licenses. building permits, and
other sources OF local income.
Communities which have a large
number OF automobile owners in
relation TO their population will
be particularly hard hit With the
curb on driving, there will natur-
ally be fewer violations OF speed
ing. parking, and other motor laws
Hence. incomes from policce and
court fines will be reduced.
While many cities and towns
have enjoyed a boom in residen-
tial building during recent years,
this type OF construction is now At
a standstill. With little new tax

Expenses Must be Cut
Taxpayers should make certain
that local expenses OF all kinds
are Immediately reduced and thus
avoid being saddled with unneces-

Freeze Local Taxes
Rationing and freezing are now
familiar terms in our public speech.
They may not be popular terms
but the regulations they describe
are accomplishing much. No at
tempt has yet been made. how
ever, TO either freeze or ration
taxes, stopping the upward climb
OF Federal taxes Is largely out of
question for Sae duration OF the
war. Wartime needs are so vital
that there can be little argument
over Federal assessments.
With municipal taxes. however.
the situation Is entirely different.
Here We are concerned with some
thing over which we all can have
some direct control. Just as
most Of US are now obliged TO
watch household expenses. so we
can also watch our town and city
