High Income

New figures, recently released throw the
first light on just how Noble county held up
during the 1888 recession. The answer in
q nutshell, is better than most communities
Retail business locally continued at
surprisingly good pace. Although personal in
come declined during the second half of 1857,
il came back well in the first six months of
this year, due in part to increased unemploy
nent insurance payments and Federal old
ege pensions Contributing to it also was 10
percent hike in pay to Government employ
ees, automatic raises in some industries and
the Improvement in farm receipts.
The survey, which measures the econon-
ic strength of localities throughout the coun-
try, is for the fiscal year ending June So 1858
It was compiled by the Standard Rate and
Data Service.
Residents of Noble County, it shows, had
net income in the year. after payment of
taxes, of $13, ,446,0 ,000 This was actually higher
than the amount available to them in fiscal
1857. the progression year, when it was $l3,-
$4,000.
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1958-12-18

Per household, determined by dividing
this amount by the number of households, it
represented spendable income of $3,788
1t was more than the $1,000 per house
hold reported locally last year.
In Noble county, as in most other places,
a considerable amount of this purchasing
power was withheld from the market Peo-
pie hesitated going into big item buying. such
as automobiles and large electrical appianc-
es, which are usually bought on the install
ment plan.
They spent more on food and soft goods
and put the rest of it into savings At the
same time, thev were working down their ac-
cumulated debt putting themselves into a
sounder financial position.
Even SO, retail stores locally accounted
for sturdy $10,2O9,0O0 in the wear, notes the
SRDS report 1t was actually higher than the
volume done in the prior year, $10,064,000
The buver caution of year ago is grad
uallv turning to buyer enthusiasm as the fear
of recession Wanes. The restored confidence
is seen in the Frightening sales picture.

and will convene in January.
In all corners of the land,
where attitudes and approach
to masic issues have differed,
our citizens have declared
themselves. Their maiorities
have put the new Congress to-
gether, have contributed to the
composite of the new legisla-
tive mind which, come jan
uary, will take up the work of
reviewing old laws, of shaping
new statutes in response to
notional need and of protecting
our country's overall interests
at home and abroad.
This fact is, indeed, of inn
mense. Importance to all of us.
Of far greater significance
than the results of Individual
congressional and senatorial
races, is the fact that the coun-
try itself remains-and that the
duties of the new Congress are
precisely the same duties by
which all former Congresses
all IS Of them-Were bound.
Those duties are all wrapped
up in single package, as sac
red and indivisible as the oath
of office each new Senator and
Representative will take. Let
each new laWmaker-and each
one of us-regard that basic
obligation and consider it we'll.
That obligation is to pre-
serve and serve the interests
of the American people as a
whole. Our majorities and our
minorities. And the maiorities
and minorities contained with
in each.
Let it be remembered and
carried well in mind that no
majority or minority anywhere
is a solid, completely definable
thing in itself. Neither the one

The Social Security admins
tration has been working over
time since then to prepare de-
tailed interpretations of the new
amendments, and to apply them
to the millions of individual cases
involved.
Here is summary of the most
important changes, and how they
will affect you. Additional infor-
nation on specific situations may
be obtained from local Social
Security offices.
Payroll Taxes
The Social Security tax deduc-
ton from your paycheck will be
bigger, starting Jan /. The tax
for both employers and employees
will go up from pa per cent to
212 per cent. And it will apply
to the first $4,000 of annual earn
ings instead of stopping at $4,000
as it does now. The net effect of
these two changes for people
who pay the maximum will be
to increase the annual bite from
$94.50 to $120.
The tax on self-employed per-
sons likewise goes up on Jan. l,
from 32s to 3M per cent, and the
ceiling goes to $4,000.
The higher taxes will affect
74,000,000 people.
Old Age and Survivors Insurance
The l2,200,000 people who re-
ceive monthly old age survivors
and disability benefits (OASD
will receive bigger checks, start
ing in February.
The increases will average
about seven per cent.
Payments to retired workers
aged IS and over now range
from $50 to $l08.50. Under the
new schedule, they will range
from $33 to SIG a month. Bene-
fits for eligible dependents and
survivors also will be increased
by the same percentage. For
example, a retired worker and
his wife, both over IS, will be
eligible for maximum monthly
benefit of STA compared with
the present $l62.80.
The increases in OASI checks
will be made automatically. No
one has to apply for them.
Public Assistance
There are about 100000 peo-
pie who receive public assistance
checks based on their need, re-
gardless of whether they are
covered by the Social Security
insurance system. These benefits
sometimes called welfare" OF
relief" checks, go to the needy
aged, the blind, disabled persons
and dependent children.

assistance program, and fixes the

IneomeTox Hints
for
NobIeCounfiuns

Wonder why some people get
refunds and you owe additional
income taxes? Here are some
tips on how to avoid a big tax
bill when you file your tax re-
turn.
Be sure your employer with
holds enough tax each pay dur
ing the year. A dollar or two
extra each pay day may save
paying out fifty or hundred
dollars when you have to settle
with Uncle Sam.
These are the most common
cases where taxpayers withhold
ing taxes are not enough:
Husband and wife both en-
ployed = You both claim the
same exemptions on Form WA
filed with employer. Result is
not enough tax withhold, tax
due.
Be sure total exemptions
claimed by both you and your
husband or wife on your Form
Was are not more than total
exemptions you are entitled to
on your income tax returns.
Check your Form WA with your
employer now.
Extra Job - You work an
extra part-time job and claim
all your exemptions on both
Form Was filed with both en-
ployers. Result is not enough
tax withheld, tax due
Be sure your Form WA flee
! with your employer on youl
second" or part-time job show:
20" (zero) exemptions. Thi'
makes the withholding tax the
same as if all income were from
the one job = just about enough
to equal the final tax or maybe
a little refund.
High Tax Brackets - Youl
salary goes higher than the first
tax bracket. This happens wher
a single taxpayers income goes
over $4,000 or when a married
couples income goes over $500
with no dependents or over
$7,100 with two dependents)
Result is not enough tax with
held, tax due.
Ask your employer to increase
the tax Withholding. You can dc
this by a written agreement be.
| tween you and your employer
authorizing income tax with
holding for an amount larger
than the regular amount for you
Or you can simply reduce the
number of exemptions you claim
on your Form Wa which auto
matically increases the tax
withheld.
Extra Income You have
extra income from dividends,
interests, rents or any other
source totaling over 500 per
year on which there is no with
holding. File Estimated Tax Re-
turn, Form 104OES, and pay esti-
mated tax in quarterly install
ments during year.
Doubtful Dependent You
contribute to support of someone
who also receives support from
other sources. You cannot be
sure until year is over whether
you can claim this dependent. II
you count this exemption on your
Form Wa, your withholding tax
will not be enough if you dis
cover you are not entitled to this
exemption. Result is tax due.
Do not count a doubtful de-
pendent on your Form Wa. You
can't lose because any extra
withholding tax will be a re-
fund to you if you are entitled
to this dependent when final re-
turn is filed.
EX-Dependent - You have a
dependent child who goes to
work and makes over $500 or
an elderly parent or other de-
pendent who dies during the
year. If you do not change your

!. For the first time, Federal
contributions will be based in
part on the relative wealth of
the various states. The poorer
state in per capita income, the
larger the federal contribution.

tional federal funds will be
pumped into the overall pro-

3. The maximum payment in
which the federal government
will share is raised to $65 a
month for the aged, blind and

will be Thor IRBM produced by Douglas Aircraft Co.
 The second stage, the announce ment said, is new vehicle pro duced by the Lockheed Aircraft Corp. and powered by a Bell Hustler engine.
 This latter engine is a liquid fuel rocket
 "The first Discoverer-la -launched satellites are expected to weigh approximately 1900 pounds" the announcement said. "This in includes the weight of the second stage vehicle which will orbit as an integral part of the satellite after burnout."
 Johnson was asked if bigger boosters will be used later for even larger satellites. Proposals have been made to use the Atlas intercontinental missile as booster.
 He said that with the Atlas 1t might be possible to put up a sat- elite weighing 10000 pounds or more, using new high-energy fuel.
 With a rocket cluster booster, it would be possible to send up satellites weighing thousands ande thousands of pounds"

Army Unveils Juno HI, It's New Moon Probe

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla, R - The Army unveiled its huge moon rocket = Juno II = yesterday when the service tower was rolled back as part of the preparations for a launching expected within a week.
 The powerful rocket, very sim liar in appearance to the Jupiter c that fired three Explorer sat- elites into orbit, will be used for the Army's first attempt to probe far into outer space.
 When the tower was rolled away the base of the Army's high ly touted Jupiter intermediate range ballistic missile was seen. The top of the rocket was cov- cred, however.
 For the moon shot, the Jupiter will be used as first-stage boos- ter rocket in place of the smaller Redstone missile which gave the O1S 1I1I IO UllS JuplISI- " SdICl1AIC vehicle.
 The Army moon missile is ex- pected to be a four-stage rocket using clusters of small, solid fuel Sergeant rockets in the upper stages. Its job will be to push a 30-pound satellite payload perhaps farther into space than any pre- vious man-made object.
 Its name will be Juno II. The first Juno was a Jupiter test ve- hicle fired more than a year ago in one of the early nose cone re- entry experiments with the 1,500- mile ballistic missile.
 The rocket will be aimed toward the vicinity of the mon, but Dr. Wernher von Braun, Army mis- si1e research chief, said recent ly the chances of hitting the moon or orbiting around it are slim.

Space Agency to Launch at Least A Dozen 'Discoverer" Satellites
 From It's New California Base

WASHINGTON, R-The United States will begin firing a series of big satellites from the new Van denberg Base in California in the next few weeks. Some of them will carry mice and monkeys.
 The Defense Departments ad- vanced research projects agency announced today that the "Pro- ject Discoverer" program will try to put up a 1,3OO-pound device in its first launching attempt Hate this year or early next year."
 At least a dozen satellite launch ings will be attempted, as fast as one month, Roy Johnson, ARPA director, told newsmen.
 Johnson also said that an at tempt will be made next year to recover capsule from a satellite, bringing it back through the at mosphere.
 He said that the program, for the present, does not include sending up man.
 The satellites launched from Vandenberg will be aimed in a southerly direction over the Pa- cific Ocean. Their orbit would be around the world over the North and South Poles.
 The first Discoverer vehicle will be two-stage rocket. The booster
