''THE TWELVE MONTHS"
TO BE HEARD ON
"LET'S PRETEND


Once upon time, there lived
a cruel stepmother and her ugly
daughter, who spent their time
making life miserable for poor
little Marooshka and thinking up
impossible tasks for her to do.
How they received their just
punishment will be revealed on
Saturdays "Let's Pretend" at
1905 a. m. over WBIG CHS,
when "The Twelve Months" will
be broadcast.
Marooshka' -stepmother and
half-sister Katya forced the poor
girl to do all the work around
the house, and live in the dark
cellar. Katya was determined to
marry the merchants son, Ker-
relle, even though he showed a
notable reluctance towards the
idea. He chanced to glimpse Ma
rooshka one day, and thence
forth, had eyes only for her. The
wicked women wanted to get
rid of the pretty girl, and sent
her into the woods in the mid
die of winter for violets. She
came upon twelve brothers who
represented the twelve months of
the year. They felt very sorry
for her, and made it possible for
her to first, bring back the vio-
lets, a second time, strawberries
in January, and, finally, apples
from a tree in February.
How it all came to happy
ending when Marooshka and
Kerrelle were married, and the
stepmother and Katya were pun
ished makes another exciting

REDUCE PAY ROLL TAXES

Reduced pay roll taxes for about
three out of five employers in Lin
coin County and adjacent areas are
now effective, according to an
nouncement received from Barclay
Craighead, chairman of the states
Unemployment Compensation Com
mission, by Mary Mahoney, man
dger of the Commissions office here.
The same law provides increased
compensation benefits for qualified
unemployed persons by approx
mately 20 per cent, also effective
on March 81, according to Miss
Mahoney.
Notices are in the mail for all
covered employers under the state
laws" Mr.. Craighead announces,
land first payments at new rates
are already beginning to arrive at
the state central office of the com
mission. The new variable rates
are set at five levels-One, one and
half, two, two and half, and 81
per cent.
In the past all employers paid
uniformly 81 per cent. The rates
are designed to yield thirds
as much revenue as previously OBJ
tanned, amounting to an average of
is per cent now in contrast to the
higher previous rate. In total
money this means a reduction of
about one and a third millions of
dollars in 1947, as compared with
1896"
Three factors are set up to de-
termine experience of the employer
with respect to unemployment haz-
ards. These are: average annual
percentage declines in taxable pay
rolls for the last three years. num-
Der of years the employer has paid
contributions; and chargebacks of
benefit payments to the individual
employer upon the last employer
basis.
Concerning the increased benefits
payable to eligible claimants, Mr..
Craighead said the minimum check
is now 81 instead of $500 and the
maximum is $1,000 instead of $500.

which benefits may be paid is now

 We don't know much about the debates of the early caVeman Judging by the state of the skulls so far unearhed they were usually settled by the blows of club. Modern parliamentary procedure bars the of the club. But the representatives of the new diplomacy from the Russian bloc of eastern Europe evidently believe they have found substitute for its parayzng effects in the insult It is a depressing spectacle to watch this technique developed to it's full in the debate by insult now proceeding be- fore the United Nations.
 The insults all from one side. Opponents of the Communist delegates confine themselves gener- ally to parliamentary language and the persuasion of reason and logic. The Communists accept no such restraints All who oppose them freely described liars slanderers traitors quislings Fascists and warmongers. We were shocked when MT. Molotov first began to disclose these tactics in the early session of the Foreign Ministers conferences We amazed when MT Vishnsky the floor of the Assembly burst into explosion of insults Now the apparently hyseIica Dr Ales Bebler of Yugoslayia has carried the debate to pitch of insulting invective before recorded in the troubled history of the United Nations As MT Spaak of Belgium ironically put it, If the force of orator be judged by the h. suits he makes then he (Dr Beb1er) has reached the summit of eloquence."
 But Dr Bebler is not really hysterical His insults studied His smears calculated His impud- is deliberate His passion is simulated His hope to create turmoil His plan is to sabotage the pro- ceedings. It is old Communist custom All the world it is familiar Communist tactic to accuse the other fellow. of what you yourself doing or planning to do The question is how to meet and overcome it. No way has yet been found. Some urge continued patience. Some propose change of rules to limit such displays and protect the presiding officer from open floutng by loud-mouthed delegates.
