All Sources Of
Income Must Be
Reported For Tax

Many federal income taxpay-
ers each year fail to account for
income received during the pre-
ceding year from sources not
reported on their W. withhold
ing tax certificates. District Di-
rector P. L. Charles of the Inter
nal Revenue service said today.
Sources Of taxable income"
he pointed out, include part
time work, dividends, tips or
other gratuities, interest on saw
ings accounts, and several other
forms of income.
profits on the sale OF real or
personal property are subject to
special rules and must be re-
ported" he added.
Some dividends, and certain
other kinds of income need not
be reported. Taxpayers should
check carefully against the in
struction booklet or appropriate
tax guide to determine whether
they should be reported, Mr..
Charles said.
Taxpayers who fail to report
taxable income are liable to be
called to account for it," Director
Charles warned. They may be
subject not only to the tax, but
also to interest and penalties"

First Feeder Piu
Auction In Area

A new date has been set for
Chillicothe's first feeder pig auc-
ton of the year, reports C. C.
Bowen, Ohio State University
Extension livestock marketing
specialist.
The sale is scheduled for March
% at the Producers Livestock

cination of pigs to be entered in
the sale, Bowen says.

opportunity to bid on uniform
lots Of graded, locally produced,
feeder pibs which weigh from 80
to 100 pounds. The pigs will be
sorted according to size, breed
characteristics, and qualit y.
Nearly 1000 head are expected

auctions at Hillsboro, not prev
iously announced, are as follows:

Dear Editor,
/ read the column in last
weeks Journal concerning the
people, from Noble county, who
were celebrating birthdays on
February goth. You did not say
they were native countians or
just county residents now.
But there is one more who,
possibly, could take top honor of
being the oldest native county
resident having a birthday that
date. He is my great-uncle, Will
liam Laughlin, who was born at
Chaseville, Seneca township,
Noble county on February %,
1868. He was never married and
was a farmer by trade. He lived
in this community all his life,
until three years ago. And since
then has been making his home
among relatives, including his
niece, Mrs. Fred McWilliams,
North street, Caldwell.
He enjoys good health and most
people consider him remarkable
for one his age. I think he should
be remembered along with the
other ones having birthdays on
that day, as he has several other
relatives and many friends in
this county.

came to be there, on what had expected when
we started out, and on what the realities had
turned out to be.
My early conception of what camping would
be like was as blissfuly fuzzy as a manjuana
dream. Perhaps | am the only person in the
United States who is SO unrealiStic, but on the
chance that l am not, I'll mention few of my
mistaken notions
Fantasy Number One: That camping automat-
caly means sylvan solitude and that one need
only drive up back road to make civilization
disappear like rabbit into hat.
The Fact: The US. is heavily populated
country, and the sort of wilderness | imagined
disappeared shortly after 1850.
Fantasy Number One-A: That travelling by
car one can reach remote places of undiscovered
beauty and enjoy them undisturbed.
The Fact: Any road reasonably near high
way that strikes you as tempting and naVgable
has struck someone else the same way, and the
chances are you'll find them there. There is, of
course, plenty of wilderness in the United States,
but finding places that are both attractive and

night it was pitched beside little river called
Lava Creek in Yellowstone Park, Wyoming This
was some three weeks after we'd set out on our
voyage and by then, the tent seemed to me as coy
and natural domicile as my very civilized bed
room back home in Rhode Island
| still remember distinctly, though, how the
tent had looked at first sight. When it was put
up in the back yard so that Johnny (our nine
year-old) and | might admire our prospective
summer home, it struck me as fimsy, confined,
and insecure Furthermore, it smelled of the sizing
that makes canvas waterproof.
No Sylvan solitude

it's awfully small. In fact, it's rather scary."
You'll get used to it," Richard said conf

which l then considered rather mad. He was
right did get used to the tent and to lot more.
Lying within it in the coy dark beside Lava
Creek, listening to the pleasant night sounds of
the out of doors, began to think back on how

untenanted requires more time and research than
can be allotted on the average trip.
Fantasy Number Two: That when we reached
the great National Parks such as Yellowstone,
Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon, we would be
free to pitch our tents on any of their millions
of acres that appealed to US.
Appeal of public camp sites
The Fact: Camping on public lands is strictly
regulated and all campers, except those who OBJ
tain special PERMITS must settle down in specified
camping areas" These are as busy as the ZOO
on Sunday This regulation is partly because of
the fire hazard and partly because millions of
unsupervised campers and their inevitable litter
would devastate the very beauties they come to
enjoy. 1t is rule that accepted sadly but with
recognition of its wisdom.
Fantasy Number Three: That if we found
public campgrounds too civilized, we could camp
somewhere else-anywhere that looked attractive.
The Fact: This fantasy is related to the earlier
ones. 1t is possible to camp outside of public
campgrounds, but in most cases it takes more
