Income And Excise Rates
To Be Increased; Some
Taxpayers Under New
Set-Up To Get Relief.
BY Associated Press


Here's what the new 1851, ,OOO,-
tax bill is going to mean for most
Americans:
l. Your income taxes are going
up. You'll pay about IL per cent
more income tax than you are
paying now. You'll begin to notice
it in the Withholding tax on your
paychecks almost right away, for
t'lD new higher rate begins to.
apply November /.
,. Taxes on many of the things
you buy are going up, too. In
many cases, this increase will be
passed along to the buyer. Gig
arettes, for instance. will go up
about one cent a pack. A new car
that costs $4,000 today will cost
about $1,000.
The compromise tax bill which
Congress finally sent to the White
House does give relief to some
taxpayers. however.
If you're a single person and
head Of a household, if you sell
your home and buy another within
year, if you're elderly and have
heavy medical expenses, you may
be a little better off taxwise than
you have been this year. And the
new bill will slightly soften the
tax impact on few business and
farm groups.
Typical Cases Given
There's one way a business man
can cut his tax load: the new law

Additions To Music
Course At School
Pupils Have Been Tested For Nat
ural Abilities By Instructors

Something new has been added
to the instrumental music course
1T Milford.
Last month the music department
gave a series of tests to all the stu
dents in the school from fourth to
eighth grades. These tests measur-
ed the natural abilities of each
child for sense of rhythm, pitch,
and tonal memory.
The parents of all students who
made better than average scores
are being notified of the students
talent. The parents and children
are invited to attend a meeting on
October 29th at 1880 p. m. in the
school cafeteria. The music depart
ment has recommended that these
students, because of their talent, be
given the opportunity to take in
strumental lessons.
At the Monday evening meeting
mentioned above a representative
of Albert A. Knecht's music house
will be there to speak to the peO-
pie about instruments. He will ex-
plain a simple and inexpensive way
to begin the young people on new
band instruments. He will attempt
to answer your questions.
1t is important that these young
people receive music lessons and
develop their abilities as soon as
they are physically capable. They
receive an immeasurable amount OF
benefits by learning early and play
