community leaders who have ac-
cepted chairmanships or commit

director. Facing the consequences
of the worst polio epidemic in the
nations history, this years volun-
teer force is the largest ever en-
listed, the director asserted. What
happened to the nation last sum-
mer and fall" he said, "was more
than a violent upsurge of polio in
cidence. It was a national calam-
ity that wiped out all previous
standards of comparison. For
months and years to come, thous-
Iands of men, women and children
will require all the skllls that
money and modern knowledge can
muster to help restore them 70
useful lives. Add to this the total
of those stricken in other years
and it becomes apparent what an
enormous financial burden is now
carried by the National Founda'
ition for Infantile Paralysis" Mr.
Smith announced the following
committees and their chairmen

INCOME TAX

There's no way to make paying
your income tax enjoyable, but
the State College Extension Serv-
ice has prepared a publication that
may make the job easier.
Farmers 1852 Income Tax"
Extension Circular No. 366, is
available free of charge at your
county agents office.
Members of the extension farm
management and marketing staff
at State College point out that the
circular is not the complete ansW-
er to preparing tax returns, it
merely supplements the instruc-
ton sheets that accompany tax
forms. 1t was designed to assist
farmers in both income tax and
farm accounting.
The circular points out the two
methods that farmers may use in
reporting income and gives ex-
amples of both methods.
Farmers should be particularly
interested in the procedure Tor
handling the purchase and sale of
livestock and machinery and fig
uring depreciation. One section
deals with important recent
changes in income tax reporting,
such as handling capital gains and
losses.
Another section answers such
questions as: "Are livestock death
losses deductible?"

Hello!
Hello!
SAVING B VITAMINS

Did you know that the way you
prepared meat has an effect on
its vitamin content? Meats which
are roasted, broiled, or fried re-
tain more of their B Vitamins that
meats which are praised (pot
roasted) or cooked in liquid.
(stewed) This is because certain
portion of the B Vitamins are dis
solved out into the liquid. To re-
tain most of the original vitamins
of meats cooked in liquids it is
necessary to use the liquids in
making gravies, sauces, etc. When
the amount of liquid is relatively
large, as in cooking tongue or
fresh or corned beef, the liquid
should be used for cooking such
vegetables as beans cabbage or
tomatoes.
Pressure cooked meats tend to
retain more of their vitamin con-
tent than those praised in an oven
or other covered pan.

Persons who wish to SEND CnrlSt-
mas gifts to patients in VA hospi-
tails are reminded by Veterans
Administration that certain pres
ents are inappropriate for medical
reasons, and that certain others
are not needed.
VA said candies, cookies and
other sweets are not permitted in
the diet of diabetes, and that GER
tain other foods are restricted &C
cording to the individual medical
requirements of other patients.
However, bulk gifts of Yuletide
goodies and seasonal package
foods are acceptable for distribu-
ton to patients by the managers,
the announcement said.
Since VA hospitals normally buy
sufficient quantities of magazines,
playing cards, puzzles and games,
! gifts of this kind are not in de-
mand.
VA is not permitted to make
public the names of veteran-pati-
ents for use in sending gifts and
correspondence. VA said such per-
sons may send their gifts to the
hospital managers for presentation
to patients.
Because Of numerous requests
for listing of Christmas presents
that are considered most appropri-
ate for veteran-patients, VA sug-
guested the following items:
Books of canteen tickets Tin de-
nominations of 81 and So, which
veterans can use in shopping at
VA canteens. These books can be
bought from the canteen or Special
Service office at any VA hospital,
domiciliary or othher stable VA
; installation. The purchaser should
request the selling office to de-
liver the books to the recipient.
Cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco
and smoking utilities, such asI
lighters.
Sundry toilet articles, such as
shaving lotion and hairdressing.
Stationery, fountain pens, auto
matte pencils, etc.
Handkerchief, socks and other
suitable haberdashery.
New or selected photograph re-
cords, to suit the patients musical
tastes.
OIL have just received orders
that recall me to active duty. I
don't think my service pay will
be sufficient to allow me to keep
up payments on the house I
bought with CT loan. Is there
anything I can do about it?
Ayes. You should discuss your
entire situation with the holder
of your mortgage, and make ar
engagements to pay as much as
you can while you're in uniform.
That part of the payment you
cannot make can be postponed
until you get out of service. At
that time you should see the mort
gage holder again, and make ar
engagements for repayment sche-
dule.

pared by local and State party
organizations and approved by
party conventions or primaries.
Although the Constitution says
nothing about the responsible
ties of the elector, it is custom
airy for him to cast his vote for
the candidate of his political
party-some States do require
it. Deviations have been few.
The most recent occurred in
Tennessee in 1948. when one of
the IL electors cast his vote for
j. Strom Thurmond, the Dixie
crat candidate, although Presi-
dent Truman had carried the
State.
The casting of the electoral
vote is generally considered a
mere formality. The disconcert-
ing fact is, however. that as
things now stand in many
States it is theoretically pos
sible for capricious electors to
vote for Pogo if they choose
whatever candidate the popu-
lar vote may have favored.
There are those who feel that
there is potential danger in
such a setup.
An even clearer defect Of the
system is the unit rule developed
in the States through the COM
petition of political parties.
Applying a winner take all"
principle, the unit rule gives the
party that has cleaned plural
ity of the popular vote in a
State all of the electoral votes.
The popular vote the losing can
didate actually polled in each
State means nothing. Cleveland
beat Blaine by only 1.149 votes
in New York in 1884, yet he re-
ceived the States 36 electoral
votes.

The 3h-year freeze on new
television stations will end early
this week. A young and impa-
tient industry, its growth re-
tarded since 1948. now can be-
gin to expand at a rate that
should give the Nation more
than 1000 TV outlets within
five years.
The commercial side of tele-
vision has not enjoyed its state
of suspended animation. With
only lot stations in operation
before the ban went into effect,
hundreds of potential broad
casters have watched millions
of dollars in advertising revenue
pass by.
If the television broadcasters
have suffered under the freeze.
there's one vital element in flu
ture TV that has gained valu-
able time and experience dur
ing the delay. That element is
educational TV.
When the industry got going
soon after World War II, educa-
tors were quick to recognize the
possibilities of using the medium
as an adjunct to classroom
teaching. But the big problem
was: ''NoW that we've got it,
what do we do with it?"
Early experiments in educa-
tional TV weren't encouraging.
The infant industry in its
commercial use-Stumbled along
for several years, seeking a pat
tern for presenting programs
in a professional manner. An
entirely new technique for lights
and cameras had to be devel-
oped. In education the situa-
ton was complicated by the
fundamental requirement of
clarity and simplicity in pro-
gramming.
If the budget-watching edu-
cational groups had been forced
tc bear the cost of such expert
menting, the whole idea of

More than 400 years before
the Wright brothers flew at
Kitty Hawk. N. c., a young
Italian artist was delving into
the mysteries Of fight. He was
Leonardo, the illegitimate son OF
a Tuscan peasant woman and a
Florentine notary. Using his
mothers home town as a last
name, he became known to the
world as Leonardo da Vinci. :
On Tuesday, the cities in Italy
where he lived and worked will
begin celebrating the fifth CEN
tenary of Leonardo'S birth.
Various phases Of the celebra-
ton will mark the achievements
of this man who was centuries
ahead Of his superstition-ridden
time.
The exact date Of his birth
was unknown until q German
student found Da Vinci's birth
certificate among. some papers
in a library in 1899. The date
on the certificate was April Is.
l452.
Leonardo is acclaimed the
world over for his paintings Of
the Mona Lisa" and "The Last
Supper. But his genius fore
told the submarine, diving suits.
machineguns and tanks, as well
as airplanes. helicopters and
parachutes, cameras, roller
bearings, brakes and tranSmis-
sion gears.
Young Apprentice
When he was IA, Leonardo
was apprenticed to the artist
! named Andrea Del Verrocchio.
Under verrocchio's tutelage.
Leonardo developed q piercing
analytical mind.
Leonardo fast developed into
what would now be called a
character. BY the time he was
81, he had developed a style
