Club On,.H Honor Roll
Lowrence .Bibus
Speaks To Club
October 9Th

Lexington Garden Club
has earned honor roll rating
in the North District Confer
ence for the second consecu-
tive year. Announcement of
this was made at the October
meeting held at City Hall
Tuesday.
Lawrence Bibus, well
axnown nurseryman of Green
wood, was speaker for the
meeting. He was presented
by Mrs. j. H. Bowie, club
president.
Mr.. Bibus discussed the
planting and care of plants
and their use in the home
landscape. He emphasized
azalea and camellia paintings
land told how to plant, spray,
mulch, fertilize and water
them.
The extensive paintings Of
aZaleas at T. G.. Owens in
Columbus were mentioned as
outstanding in the state.
These azaleas are five and
six feet tall and are so COM
gpact they look like lockwood.
They are planted in pure
speat which is the best posi-
BILE way, Mr.. Bibus said.
The use of fertilizer on
8 plants is important, the
speaker said.
"The hotter it gets, the
more you should fertilize,"
MIR. Bibus said, adding this is
contrary to what most people
believe. Care should be exer-
4cised, however, that the right
kind of fertilizer and the COR
rect amount each time is
used and that it is watered
in.
Mulching is an important
operation in the care of all
plants, MI. Bibus said.
pine needles are a fine
mulch, an excellent one, and
they can also be used as a
blanket over the whole plant
in severe weather." he said.
He emphasized that covers
should not be taken off any
plants when the sun comes
out because that is when the
damage to the plant occurs.

 EZZ5 2; 'Qpihion1|l <

From National Review: "The only road to sound (tax) re- form is the road that works against the present errors. Tax rates from top to bottom must be reduced, proportionally; to avoid enormous initial federal deficits, the reductions should be staged over a number of years. In all likelihood the in- creased economic activity aris- ing from increased incentives will generate tax revenues to offset the losses from rate re- auctions. If not, some sort of consumption or turnover tax, rather than an inhibiting tax on individual effort, would provide the offsetting tax rev enues. This is all that is need ed, and this is enough. Tax re- form should not be tied to ir- relevant social or economic mo- tions.

THOUGHTS
 OF A AMMAN
Who Is God?

God revealed Himself to Adam as the only true God. The first God-pleasing sacri- flee was offered by A b e l. Even at this early date, man received the first prophecy concerning Jesus Christ. "The Seed of the woman shall crush the head of t h e serpent" The first world re- ligion was monotheistic. This worship was instituted by God Almighty Himself, who said, T am the Lord, thy God. Thou shalt have no other gods before Me" Hea- then cults and idol worship are of the devil. The theo- sophists, under Annie Bes- ant, dug up a Hindu Messiah, and brought this fake Christ to the United States for wor- ship and adoration. Highly intellectual folks are deluded or led astray. In our day Reason is the sacred COW that has taken the place of Jesus Christ.

Veterans of World War I, Matanuska Valley Barracks No. 1900. had a large turnout at their noontime potluck and meeting Saturday, Dec. 29, at the home of B. J. Bingle, care taker at Kings Lake Camp.

 1863 officers for Barracks No. 1900 are B. J. Bingle, com mander; Charles w. Wilson, first vice commander; Otto w. Peterson, second vice con- mander; Edward A. Ueeck. adjutant and quartermaster; L. P. Rorrison, sergeant-at- arms; Foster Heaven, chaplain; and John H. Hermon, judge advocate.

permission of Congress, to sue
 the government, and an attach.
 ment of wages is an action dir.
 ected against both the employ.
 CT and employee.
 That Is why in private indus-
 try it is the usual policy to dis
 charge an employee subjected to garnishment too often. Most government employees pay their bills. This is fortun-
 ate for all government employ. lees. otherwise they would have a most difficult time securing credit any place. And in many instances. the head of de- partment will seek to bring pressure on a ''deadbeat" member of the department. But the government employee that is inclined not to pay his bills has a built in immunity rom collection.
 And there is apparently enough of this going on that the vast majority of the na. tiOn's independent business people seek remedy.
 The credit situation on gov. ernment employees also be- comes more acute as more and more people are added to the payrolls.
 As 1t stands now, the big. gest single employer in the nation is the federal govern ment. If just a small percen- tage of them are "deadbeats" the economic system Is damaged by millions of dollars in un- cOllectible credit losses. At the current pay scales existing for government employees, there Is no justifiable reason why they should not be as responsible tor their debts as any employ ee of private industry.

Social Security Rates Go Up Jan.

Workers and their employ CTS began paying higher social security taxes on Jan. l, the US. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare h a s announced. By law, the tax rate on wages increases on that date from the present SIS per cent each on workers and em- ployers to 39s per cent each. The self-employment tax rate goes from the present AT per cent to 5.4 per cent for 1863 earnings.
 Social security taxes are collected on only the first $48OO of wages or self-employ- ment income. A worker W h o has wages of $4800 and also has income from business pays only on his wages.
 Self-employed people pay their social security taxes once a year when they make their Federal income tax returns. When making returns on 1962 income, self-employed busl- nessmen will pay the 1862 tax rate of AZ per cent. The new rate applies only to 1863 in- come, which, in most cases, won't be reported until 1864.
 The new rates will, under present law, be in effect through 1865. Another increase is scheduled in 1866. The top rate scheduled to go into effect in 1868, is As per cent each for workers and their employ CTS and 6.9 per cent for t h e self-employed.
 According to Lee R. Chris jensen, district manager for social security, these increases are to keep the system self supporting and soundly finan- eed. Christensen said that bas- ed on actuarial estimates, these rates will provide ample funds for all payments set by pres ent law.
