Bill For Family
Of Four S1551.84

Operation of the Federal gov
ernment during the fiscal year
1956-57, will cost the residents of
Madison County an estimated So
117,000 if the Eisenhower budget
of SOS, ,900,000,000 submitted to
Congress is enacted into law, ac-
cording to the Ohio Chamber of
Commerce. This amounts to 1887
sc per person in the county.
Estimated cost for Ohio-at-large
for the Federal spending program
proposed by the President would
be S4,125, 100000, of a Statewide
average of S482.21 for every citi-
zen OF Ohio or 81, 928.84 for a fam
lily of four persons, Ohio Chamber
President Harry w. Arnold said.
The estimate of Ohio's share is
based on calculations by the Ohio
Chambers Research Department
showing that the States residents
and taxpayers pay 6.26 per cent
Of the total Federal tax burden.
The proposed budget of $65, 5,900,-
100000 is an increase of $780,
000,000 over the budget for the
fiscal year 1955-1956 which began
last July 1, amounting to $780,
300,000,000.
That a balanced budget is ex-
pected to be attained in both the
current and coming fiscal years
was noted by the Ohio Chamber,
Mr.. Arnold said, but disappoint-
ment was expressed in that the
balance in the 1956-57 fiscal year
will not result from cutting expen-
ditures.
The balance, Mr. Arnold pointed
out, will come from higher reve-
nues at present tax rates, includ-
ing corporation and excise tax
rates which had been scheduled
for reduction April 1. The schedul-
ed reductions in corporation and
excise tax rates have now been
postponed three times.

q OUR
"a TOWN

@ IOVN
FACT
Many people will go out of
their way to avoid their own
troubles and then go even fur
ther out of their way to find
somebody else's.
MOTHERHOOD
Perhaps the greatest joy of
being a parent Is when the
kids are all in bed fast asleep.
THINK
A Chamber of Commerce re-
port recently showed what
happens when a new industry
comes to town. The report
states that for every 100 new
factory jobs, TIA other jobs
are created and population
jumps 296 people. Retail sales
increase $3.50, 900 per year and
four new stores open up. On
top of all this, lot cars are
registered and 70 telephones
are installed. Overall personal
income increases by $590,0O0
per year. Worth thinking
about, isn't it?
ARMY LIFE
Recruit: Man, funny look
ing animal just came in here"
Rookie: What kind was
it?"
Recruit: Don't know but it
had two stripes"
Rookie. In that case it was
either a skunk or a corporal!"
STORY
One of the juiciest stories
we ever heard was one about
a girl who slapped the face of
a guy who chewed tobacco.
MARRIAGE
Marriage vows contain such
phrases as for better or for
worse, richer or poorer and
so forth. 1t appears that a
friend of ours took wife for
worse and for poorer. Last
time we saw her she had on a
panied expression and mink
coat.
???
Guided missiles are nothing
new. Take the old-fashioned
rolling pin for instance.
TROUBLE
Trouble is the only thing in
the world that you can borrow
from another (and become the
sole possessor of same) with
out causing any fuss if you
don't give it back.
LIVING
Parents with large families
are most likely to have houses
full of antique furniture.
FIGHTER
There is a pretty good prize
fighter by the name of Percy
Bassett on TV these days.
With name like that, no
wonder he's fighter.
SiGN-o-TiMEs
Out in a western city they
have posted signs at the city
limits which say Speed
limit Is miles per hour. Fine
is So per mile for fast driving.
Pick out the speed you can af-
fordr
LIFE
Spare the rod and spoil the
child" is not in vogue these
days. However you can always
use the rod on the child psy-
chiatrist who told you to spare
the child
REPORT
DR.. Gallup reports that over
81 million men have stayed
over night in motels. The re-
port also shows that the same
number of women have done
the same hummn!.
MODERN
Seems that many modern
women believe that children
should be seen and not had.
FUTURE
Be il remembered that as
we climb the ladder of success
the rungs get farther and
farther apart.
BUSINESS
Big businessmen are not al
ways infalhble as illustrated
in this story. Seems a big
wheel walked into a plant and
after a preliminary inspection
of the shop reported to the
superintendent that he had fir
ed a man. who was it," in
quired the super.
why that fellow I caught
smoking on the job. / gave

Sunday morning, July % found
the sun shining in the hearts of a

Parker was guest speaker. He
used for his theme, Power Of
God" scripture Romans 1915.
He compared nature and science
as a growing power, but Gods
Power is greater. when we see
nature and understand natures
growth, we are understanding
Gods power more clearly; there
fore. study the works of our
Heavenly Father and increase in
knowledge and grow stronger in
the faith of God" stated Rev
Parker. We were very inspired by
this message. Rev. and Mrs. Park
er were the guests of Rev. Cas-
sius and worshipped with us
throughout the entire service.
Sick: Mrs. George Cox who has
been i'll for a long time was at
the service with us today. Our
hearts rejoiced to see her enter
the edifice. Mrs. Cox has been an
active worker in the church for
many years.
