CLOTH MAKER Time To Get Off" If you feel as though you're on a tax tread-mill, don't worry about it. You are. The Chamber of Commerce of the United States observes that the Federal Government is spending tax money a lot faster than you can earn it or send it in. If it takes you an hour to fill out your tax return ? and most people struggle wr\ + V\ if lnnrfAt* 4-V* o? *viwii n mail uidt the government will spend $22 million in the same amount of time, before you even get the envelope stamped. The calculation is based on the Federal Budget for fiscal 1970, which proposed outlays of $192.9 billion ? $100 billion more than 1960, just 10 short years ago. Because the total figure is so large as to be almost incomprehensible, it may register more clearly in Free Enterprise The power to choose the work I do, To grow and have the larger view; To grow and feel that I am iree, To stand erect, not bow the knee; To be no chattle of the State, To be the master of my fate; To dare to risk, to lose, to win, To make my own career begin; To serve the world in my own way, To gain in wisdom, day by ? With hope and zest to climb, to rise? I call that FREE ENTERPRISE! ||fl| ^j. Kills Deer Neuffer Creswell killed this 132 pound deer recently. Creswell.
