Senior Activities at
Southern To Proceed

crn High school. which were
threatened with interruption fol-
lowing an act of vandalism by two
seniors, got the go ahead signal
Monday by w. Kenneth Johns,

Mr.. Johns reported that the cX-
terror wall of the schools band

He said he had been informed it

The principal said he took dis
ciplinary action by threatening to
cancel this years all-senior picnic,
the awards assembly and the junior
senior prom if the persons respon-
sible didn't admit the defacing by
Monday noon.
He said his action was voluntarl-
ly endorsed by the senior class
president, Porter Wclch, and junior
class president, Todd Schaible.
An anonymous letter to Cum
berland newspaper protested the
action taken by the principal spoke
against the punishment of all
seniors because of someone elSc'c
doings." Several parents were re-
ported saying they would have a
prom of their own if the school
didn't have one But Mr.. Johns
said surprisingly large number
of persons commended him for his
action.
With the persons known, Mr.
Johns said everything was re-
scheduled. but that the two would
not be allowed to attend the senior
picnic, the iunior-scnior prom. they
would not get a signed diploma the
night of graduation, must attend
school until June 9Th, and that ono
day this week they would be re-
quired to paint the posts around
the front of the high school, and
that the wording must be taken off
the bricks before the diplomas arc
signed and presented.

Right Knows Cost
Of Lightning Bolt

If you want to know what a bolt
of lightning costs. just ask Melvin
Kight. He had occasion to learn
after lightning knocked out the
vacuum motor on his pressing ma
chine at his cleaning and pressing
shop on Center street Saturday at
tcrnoon during sharp electrical
storm
Kight was standing by the ma
chine as was Irwin r. Rudy, ,Ir., but
no shock was felt They were stand
ing on rubber pad.
An investigation by an clcctri-
clan revealed that the motor parts
had been welded into one entire
mass. A new motor costs S225, plus
installation.
The weeks weather has been
mostly hot with temperatures in
the sos except Monday and Tues
day when the mercury was in the
7O's. A light rain fell briefly on
Monday.
There were scattered hail storms
along with the electric storm on
Saturday afternoon, Mt. Lake Park

big as aspirin tablets.
Yesterday added two more bits
to the weeks weather story with
the temperature reaching the early
COS late in the afternoon, followed
by arothcr electrical storm in the

throughout most of the night, with
the lightning remaining fairly sharp
but apparently not close enough to

Sometimes Life Gets
Unusually Irritating

Every now and then life gets
tedious, little things pile up, and
occasionally you'd be better off if
you'd stayed in bed
Yesterday morning started off
bright and clean with Ed Helbig.
He had two beautiful Holstein
heifers and bull calf putting on
poundage in the calf yard The
far.. was running smoothly Things
looked right for butchering the
bull calf, so Ed instructed his hired
man to take it to the slaughter
house for the usual ritual.
Somehow or other. one of the
prize Holstein heifers ended up
where the bull calf should have
been and if Ed had worn sack
cloth and ashes he couldn't have
been more down in the mouth
about the hcifcr.
OF course he had to do all the
chores around the farm, now that
the hired man was gone, SO after
putting in a real tough day he
came into town and stopped a
moment at Hinebaugh's restaurant
for a cup of coffee. Now coffee at
Hincbaugh's restaurant is especial
ly good, one cup usually leading to
another, but Ed really shouldn't
have stopped.
During the coffee break some
body stole his car.
It's a cream colorcd So buick.

An official of the Internal

that Maryland ground rents
may be declared deductible for
the entire year of 1861.
We're trying to carry the
deductibility through the entire
year." said Harold T. Swartz,
assistant IRIS commissioner on
technical matters.
Ground rent payments had
been deductible from income
tax returns since 1927. But the
IRIS announced last July 81
that they would not be exempt
after that date.
Mr.. Swartz said the law per-
mitS the Secretary Of the Treas
ury to set the date on which an
IRIS regulation becomes effec-
tive. Nothing has been decided,
he said, but added that an Of
fetal announcement may be
made today or tomorrow.
