THE INK SPOTS
The old belief that soaking in
milk will remove ink stains has
been proved incorrect, Miss Avola
Whitesell, clothing specialist for

treatments, but milk is not re
commended for any of them.

Professional Standards
According to one editor, week
lies “are giving back the home
town” to suburbanities who have
lost contact with community re
sponsibilities. In many areas, fast
growing suburbs have produced
weekly and semi-weekly chains
that are as slick in appearance
and informative in content as
their city cousins.
“Even outside metropolitan
areas,” says Time, “.most small
town weeklies . . . have thrown
out the smudgy type and bump
kin prose that once characterized
the weekly, press, now run staff
written stories and editorials in
stead of the boiler-plate and can
ned sermons that once crammed
country papers. The old-time
TAKE A LONG
LOOK FORWARD
Look ahead, plan ahead, get ahead!
Systematic saving here can make
the difference between wishing and
having.
New Growth, Vitality Seen
In Weekly Press of Nation
NEW YORK - Weekly news
papers today are the fastest
growing publications in the U. S.,
Time says in a special report in
the current (Feb. 4) issue out this
week.
“Metropolitan newsmen who
daydream of retiring to a country
paper have long viewed weeklies
more as a rural retreat than as
an influential segment of the
press,” Time says. “But with the
swift growth of suburbs and
small towns since World War 11,
weeklies have largely shed their
cracker-barrel ways, developed
sophistication and a new sense of
mission.”
Editorial Vitality
Weekly Newspaper Repre
sentatives, Inc. last week reported
that 8,478 weeklies in the U. S.
in 1956 reached a paid circulation
peak of 18,529,199, up 6.5% over
1955. Estimated gain for the 1,700
dailies (total circ. more than 56
million): about 2% .Advertising in
weeklies increased 1.2% to a re
cord sll2 million; this includes a
30% jump to ($25 million) in na
tional ads since 1954 vs. an es
timated 10% gain for dailies.
“The weeklies’ resurgence re
flects editorial as well as econo
mic vitality,” Time says. “In
addition to relaying the back
fence chit-chat on which weeklies
have traditionally thrived, the
papers are the only interpreters
and watchdogs of local govern
ments in hundreds of U. S. com
munities, whose problems, aims
and achievements go largely un
recorded in the metropolitan
press.”
Jack-of-all-trades country editor
has been largely supplanted by
trained staffs. Lured out of the
cities by the prospect of editorial
and economic independence,
trained newsmen in increasing
numbers are bringing professional
standards to weekly newspaper
ing.”
Crusading Spirit
Though once renowned for
their timidity, many weeklies
have developed the crusading
spirit that has vanished from
many a fat-cat daily, Times notes.
“Since weeklies are closer than
dailies to readers and advertisers
and more vulnerable to the pres
sure of advertisers, they are often
hit by economic boycott, but few
editors cave in under such threats
— or worse. In Granite City, 111.,
after Editor Cornelius E. Town
send had waged an editorial cam
paign against organized gambl
ing in the community, a hoodlum
recently emptied his revolver
into Townsend’s Press-Record
office. Echoing many a fighting
editor before him, Townsend
said: 'Maybe they’ll scare hell
out of me someday and I’ll quit.
But I don’t think so.”
BETTER DENTAL HEALTH
Miss Lucile Higginbotham,
health specialist for the Agricul
tural Extension Service, suggests
four ways to better dental health:
brushing teeth immediately after
eating, eating a well-balanced
diet, drinking flouridated water
or having topical applications of
a sodium flouride solution, and
making regular visits to the den
tist.

Income Tax Time Again Near
For One Million Georgians
While at least two American
composers have written musical
works about the Federal income
tax, one of them setting several
paragraphs of the instruction
book as a cantata, the average
taxpayer probably does not re
gard news about the annual obli
gation as music to his ears.
Still, according to District Dir
ector Paul Cobb of the Atlanta
office of the Internal Revenue
Service, it’s a situation where
some 1,000,000 residents of Geor
gia must now “face the music,”
and pay up to the tune of an
estimated $500,000,000 (their 1956
income taxes owed to Uncle
Sam). April 15 is again the dead
line.
Nothing much in the essential
elements of the tax setup has
changed, Mr. Cobb declares.
Forms have been brightened and
tightened, instructions systema
tized and considerably clarified,
but the tax percentages are still
the same as for the last two
years, as are the requirements
for filing.
Those under 65 who had a gross
income of S6OO or more during
1956 must file. If over 65, the
income base for filing rises to
$1,200. In joint filings, where one
person is under, the other over
65, and for questions of birth
days during the year, the instruc
tion booklet is clear and detailed,
Mr. Cobb says. If both are 65, the
base income becomes $2,400
before filing is required.
Self-employed individual whose
net earnings were S4OO or more
must file. Persons whose in
comes were less than S6OO — sl,-
200 for those 65 or over — thou
sand students who worked during
vacation or on weekends or
before or after school to whom
this would very likely apply.
The form and instruction book
let, read together, should enable
most taxpayers to prepare their
own returns without too much
difficulty, Mr. Cobb said. Those
who cannot solve problems in
their computations should call
the nearest Internal Revenue of
fice for information.
Nobody ever gets anything for
nothing, but a lot of people keep
trying.

Chevrolet in that department! It
- “comers” with all the solid assur
ance of an honest-to-goodness sports
car. Chevy doesn’t throw its weight
around on turns because it carries
its pounds in the right places.
And if the road should turn up

nicely, too—with up to 245 h.p.*

A BETTER YEAR
FOR FARMERS
For the first nine months of
1956, U. S. farmers’ realized net
income was running four per
cent above the average for 1955
—the first upturn since 1951, ac
cording to Stephen Brannen,
economist, Agricultural Exten
sion Service. Farm income likely
will show some further increases
in 1957, he added.
The best buy in a tape mea
sure is one that is 60 inches long,
numbered so that it can be read
from either end, and metal-tip
ped, Miss Avola Whitesell, Col
lege of Agriculture Extension
Service clothing specialist, states.
The ’57 Chevy can give lessons
on taking curves and holding the
road to just about any car going.
Few cars at any price are so
beautifully balanced and so
smooth, sure and solid in action.
A car has to have a special kind of
build and balance to keep curves
