bedrolls.
After we went to bed it be-
gan to snow. I can remember
to this day being snuggled
down under the snow-covered
tarp, listening to the wind in
the thicket, and to the occa-
s1onal Whitney of the restless
horses. But a lad of eighteen
does not lay awake long in a
warm bed and the next thing
| knew Dad was rousing me
UP for breakfast and the
ground was white with snow!
But the sun came out bright
and soon the snow was gone.
We spent a couple of weeks
wandering about the country
In this fashion, and with the
finest of weather for the re-
mainder of the trip. Occasion
ally, we saw an antelope or
a coyote. Flocks of wild geese
and ducks were passing over
head bound for the north coun-
try. The songs of meadowlarlzs
were everywhere. When we
returned to the Valley we did
not know where we had been!
And I don't know yet. But 1
did find the little sheltered can
yon, afterward. In making
road survey one day, 25 years
later, 1 walked right into it
and recognized it Immediately.
Maybe 1 will look for it again
some day.

"A word OF caution If you're driving
around Sidney, give the garbage truck
the same treatment as you would an
emergency vehicle. 1t didn't mention that
in the Montana drivers examination, but
for your own good it's the best thing to
do.

Ii you read the story on the front page,
then you know the Herald has purchased
another press. can't say "new" be-
cause it's far from it, however, it is quite
bit different and will certainly be a
welcome addition to the shop. 1t repre-
sents a sizeable investment and is an
other step being taken by the present
ownership to give Sidney and the sur
rounding area the best possible news
paper it can.
Inc Herald is now the largest weekly
newspaper in the state The number of
subscribers has jumped considerably the
past year and each week we continue to
add more
Getting this press from Bismarck to
sidney proved to be quite a task. You
might say that it was more than we
bargained for During our first trin to

could be accomplished in a couple of
weeks. It's now nearly two weeks since
we started dismantling it and we're still
about two weeks away from the time it
Will be in production. l might add that
our estimates of cost of dismantling,
hauling and those little odds and ends
have been knocked out of whack.
"A borrowed truck that was going to
save us some money blew a tire under
Its II ton load and an $82 message was
dispatched from Hazen to Sidney. Since
that time there's been a host of odds
and ends that have popped up and each
one seems to cost more than the other.
Each piece has been removed from the
press IN order to move it and the press
IS now strewn about behind the shop
covered by canvas. Yesterday was the

Corrects Statement
On Library Opinion

House Committee on Un-Ameri-
can Activities, described in the
House Guide as a Communist
front. The Nation also had a
full-page ad for the Emergen-
cy Civil Liberties Committee
which showed The Nations
editor, Carey McWilliams, as
a supporter. This Committee is
also listed in the House Guide
as a Communist front. These
are only few of the facts
available from government
publications concerning this
magazine and its editor.
Since a unanimous vote to
drop another magazine from
the subscription list was made
previous to my motion at the
same meeting, causing very lit
tie discussion, it is not a ques-
ton of the board having a
polIcy OF cOntnulng 10 SUBJ
scribe to all magazines on the
list. 1t is a question of OBJ
tanning the most reading with
the budget we have to work
with; therefore, my final rea-
son, when / made the motion
to not reSubscribe for The
Nation was that, as a represen-
tative of the people, I fell
that the vast majority of Rich
land County citizens would
rather we spent the So else

I hope this is a satisfactory
explanation of why I made the
motion to drop The Natior
magazine from the subscription
list for 1864.

Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:

that I made the motion to bar

The Nation magazine in the
subscription list for 1864. Rev.
Leo Buechler amended the mo-
ton to include all opinion

this amendment.
One of my reasons for want

along a high prairie country

By accident, we came to where
we could look down into the

We found a way down to it

State Dem Leader
Gets in on the Act
In Library Issue
Editor:

Editor:
Sidney Herald
1t is not with a great deal
of enthusiasm that I undertake
to write this letter since 1 be-
heve that the opinions of an
outsider are often resented and
may do more harm than good.
However, because I believe
the issue involved so impor-
tant to our way of life think
it would be a greater error to
remain silent. AS a man once
said, "Silence is not always
golden, sometimes it is just
yellow"
1 was dismayed to read the
action taken by the Sidney IL
brary council in banning GER
tain opinion magazines from
the city library. 1 am aware
that Sidney has had it's share
of controversy in the past three
years, and yet, isn't it pre-
cisely because we can have
controversy in America that
we. are proud to say we are
Americans? AS a liberal Dem
ocrat, there are exceedingly
few points in which I find
myself in agreement with the
extremists of either side, but
this should never be a reason
for attempting to restrict what
the other fellow has to say.
1t seems to me, as one active
ly engaged in politics, that
our proud statement, eve be-
lieve in freedom of speech and
press" becomes most meaning
full in times of stress. It's easy
to believe in these precepts if
there is no cost in practicing
them. The greatest danger to
our way of life comes not from
the extremists who if unop-
posed would monopolize the
forums of public opinion, but
from the great mass of middle
class respectability who,
though they may disagree
strongly with the extremists,
would rather look the other
way than cause a fuss. One
gentleman who has professed
no faith in the democratic pro-
cess has said, Democracy is
a perennial fraud and a wea-
pom Of demagoguery." Aren't
we proving that we have as
little faith as he, if we ban
the controversial from our IL
braries?
The only definition of de-
mocracy and freedom of
speech that will work is that
enunciated by Voltaire in the
18th century when he said,
81 disagree with every word
you say, but I'll defend to the
death your right to say it." II
is the duty of all Americans
to speak out and to be inform
ed. 1 am confident that if we
do this we needn't have fear OF
the extremists from either side.
should like to conclude with
this thought, "What democracy
does is what we do. We are
part of that faceless and in
comprehensive multitude. We

Tax Tips
Sick Pay
Exclusions
Exp|oined

THIS LEGAL COLUMN
,s prepared By the attoyneus
of Ohio under the supervis-
ion Of the State Bar Associa-
tion IN cooperation with the
Ohio State Bar Association.
Every effort Is made to haze
each fact accurate in the
interpretation Of the lnU.
II you were sick or were in
jured during 1862 and your en-
ployer continued to pay your
wages while you were away
from work, you may be entitled
to exclude from your gross in
come the amount you received
as pay during part or all of the
period you were away from
work.
The law also provides that .
health and accident insurance
coverage provided by your en-
ployer or payment of medical
expenses by your employer are
not includible in your gross in
come.
Your W. record Of total
wages paid will generally show
the amount Of wages which you
received during the entire year
without consideration Of pos
sible exclusions based upon this
provision of the law.
Sick Pay
The sick pay exclusion is al
lowed whether or not you item
ize your personal deductions
and is removed from gross in
come before arriving at the
amount Of your adjusted gross
income. This exclusion is limit
ed, however, TO 500 of wages
received per week.
If you are injured, the period
during which the exclusion is ap-
plicable begins on the date of
injury and terminates on the
date you return TO work.
If, however, you are absent
from work due to sickness, not
as a result Of injury, the exclu-
sion does not apply during the
first seven calendar days you
are absent from work unless,
during the period Of absence
from work. you are hospitalized
for at least one day.
II you are sick and are hos
pitalized, the computation of
the sick pay exclusion begins
with the day you become sick
and terminates with the day you
return to work.
If you are not hospitalized
during absence from work on
account Of sickness and you be-
come sick on Saturday or Sun
day and normally do not work
on these days, the seven-day
period does include the follow
ing non-working days.
Statouen,
You must substantiste your
right to the exclusion by sub
mitting adequate information
to justify the amount Of the ex-
clusion taken. Thi. substantial
ing information normally in
cludes a statement as to your
normal work week. the actual
days you were absent, the rate
Of pay you receive from your
employer, the cause of your ab-
sence from work and the actual
amount you received as pay
from your employer during the
period Of absence.
The Internal Revenue Service
provides Form 244o to assist
you in making the proper COM
putations of the exclusion in
lieu Of submitting the informa-
tion discussed above.

Report Received Beam on Wales Made by Plane

Conflicting reports have been re- ceived by Tundra Times concerning a story appearing in May 6 issue of a beam that was flashed on the vil- lage of Wales the last of March.
 Jon h Tokianna, non-commis- stoned officer in charge of the Ma tional Guard there, said the light was not from Russians, as prev iously reported, but from the land ing of a polar hunters in a plane on the ice
 "The light came from light plane landing, nothing else, because we watched it from the Navy radar." Tokianna went on to say that an ice fog that night made the light look very large and bright.
 The light was reported to the Ma tional Guard Headquarters at Nome.
 About ten of the 135 persons at Wales saw the light, between 9 and 10 pm.
 Since we are to close to Siberia, the light was not so unusual,' said Lincoln Riley. Its not the first in- cident here" He said people at Wales had found crates and boxes that drifted ashore that indicated there had been spies.
