OFFICIAL ORGAN BRANTLEY COUNTY AND CITY OF NAHUNTA Worst Thieves Steal from Bachlott Church Among the biggest thieves i maginable are those who will rob a church. It was such skunkiest thieves who took three electric fans and 10 folding chairs from the Bachlott Church of God last Friday sometime. The church was, robbed of sev eral electric fans about three months ago. This second visit of the “imps from hell” has flab bergasted the congregation. Law officers are working on the case.

Excise Tax on Phone Service May Be Reduced Telephone customers in the nation may be paying a reduced federal excise tax oh telephone service by January 1, 1966, and then none at all by 1969. W. B. Smith, Southern Bell’s manager, said that Presi dent Johnson’s recommendation to Congress is that the present 10 per cent excise tax on tele phone service be reduced to 3 per cent by January 1 and eli minated entirely by 1969. “We are, of course, pleased at the President’s recommendation and certainly hope that congress will take the action to end this excise tax on telephone service,” Smith said. "A lower excise tax will mean reduction in the cost to custom ers for telephone service,” Mr. Smith said. He explained that the excise tax is a tax on telephone customers, not on the telephone company. The tax is added to the custom er’s bill and the company mere ly collects it and passes it on to the government. Southern Bell customers in Georgia paid an average of $18.55 per customer for federal excise taxes on telephone service dur ing 1964, a total of $14.5 million.

Why is vitamin A important to the health of my family? A. Vitamin A is important to young children for growth. It is important to all ages for normal vision, to protect your body a gainst infection and to keep your skin and linings of nose, mouth and inner organs strong to help prevent invasion of bacteria. 0. What foods can we buy to get the most vitamin A? A. Good sources of vitamin A are liver, egg yolks, butter, whole milk and cream and cheese made from whole milk or cream. Fish liver oils are rich in vitamin A. You also get vitamin A from other animal foods. From many vegetable foods you get carotenes, which are yellow-orange sub stances, that your body converts into vitamin A. Q. Should we include foods con taining vitamin A in our daily diet? A. Some vitamin A can be stor ed in your body. A savings ac count of vitamin A in your sys tem may be drawn upon if, in an emergency, it is lacking in your diet. Q. My teenage daughter has a tendency to break out in pimples. Should she buy any particular type of make-up? A. Non-oily cosmetic bases are preferable to powders and oily preparations. The latter may ag gravate her condition. All make up should be carefully removed at bedtime. It should not be ap plied over an old layer of make up. For masking pimples and other blemishes, many medicated preparations are available with added tints to help match natural skin color. If the pimples become a real problem, perhaps your teenage daughter would like for you to make an appointment and go with her to see the family physician for advice. (This week’s “Buy Lines” were prepared by Lucile Higginbotham, head, Health Education Depart ment, University of Georgia Co operative Extension Service.) U. S.
