told Tuesday night al regular

now performs the ~efilling task
when asked to do so But the town
keeps no records on such refilling
and QuiSenberry estimated that 81
per cent of the extinguishers in the
stores are out-of-dan.
Gay proposed to notify the per
sons concerned when their extin
euishers need refilllne The fire de
partment will do the refilllng for 4
nominal charge, and keep t h {
proper records.
Quisenberly said BY keeping the
fire extinguishers up-to-date bust
ness places could expect lower in
surance rates. because Of Increased
fire protection.
Moved Radio Tower
The sum Of $3.50 was appropriated
to move the municipal base radio
station and tower and TO purchase
an additional remote control amt
for the radio network

The new dependents benefits,
in providing family members as
we'll as the worker himself the
same security against loss of
earnings in his disablement as
in his old-age retirement, are a
significant extension of the
basic concept of protection of
the family, through social in

face, the local social security
administrator observed.
The new payments to depen-

payments can be made, appli-

TAXPAYERS ADVISED
ON CHECK PAYMENTS

District Director of internal
Revenue William E. Frank once
again advises that taxpayers may
be liable for a penalty If they
send a check which will not
clear the bank. The law requires
that one per cent penalty be
assessed on amounts of $500 or
more. If the amount of the
check is from SIS to $500, the pen
atty will be $500. If the amount
is less than SIS the penalty will
be the amount of the check.
Checks for payment of taxes
should be made payable to the
Internal Revenue Service" and
taxpayers should make certain
that checks are written on the
correct bank, are complete in de-
tail, are dated currently, and that
sufficient funds are on deposit.
BY doing so they will avoid a
return check penalty as well as

If space is available transplant
directly in four or five inch pots
or bands. You can save space by
making an intermediate trans
plant into other flats. Set plants
two inches each way and they
will not need to be moved for
another two to three weeks. The
plants should then be placed in
larger bands or pots to avoid
checking the growth seriously.
They may be set directly in the
greenhouse if the heating system
is adequate. One should main
tain night temperature at ap-
proxirnately so degrees F and

Plants should be eight to ten

NOW IS THE TIME for you
folk that plan to have early to-
matoes this year to get them
seeded. BY the time tomatoes are
ready to transplant into your
greenhouse there should be no
trouble with maintaining ade-
squate heat.
For home use a small flat will
start more than enough plants.
For those who want more plants.
base your figures, on 5000 ma
lure seeds to the ounce. APPROX
mately half of these should form
strong healthy plants. 1t is
strongly urged that you use var
ieties recommended in the Vege-
table Variety List for 1858. Cir
cuIar $50. These tomatoes havc
been tested under Alaskan condi-
lions. To estimate the number of
plants you can use, first decide
how many square feet of green
house space you will allot to to-
mato production. Divide by fout
If you are in commercial produc-
lion. Home gardeners often crowd
plants into three square feet or
even less per plant but produc-
zion per plant will beereduced ac-
~cordingly.
Seedlings should be ready for
aransplanting about two weeks
after planting the seed. The
younger seedlings are transplant
ed the faster they recover and
