1 VOTE “FOR" TAX EQUALIZATION
V' ON NOVEMBER 6th, 1962
If You Are Now Carrying Your Fair Share of the Tax Load-Your Taxes Would Not Be Increased by Tax Equalization.
Have You Received Your State And County Tax Bill For 1962?
Due Io added costs ol education and other services, the tax rale in Newton County has been on a steady increase during the
past ten years. II all property was evaluated on an equal scale, the increased costs of our government would be spread among all
taxpayers equally and fairly. Under our present system, those taxpayers who have carried an unfair and unequal proportion of the
tax burden in the past, are now carrying an increased proportion of the added fax costs. What we need in Newton County is Io have
our property evaluated on an equal scale by a professional firm from without the county. The experience of other counties who have
undergone such a program has been highly successful and acceptable Io taxpayers.
If You Are For Fairness, You Are for Tax Equalizafion.

Your Questions About
Family Food Buying
By DR. MARY GIBBS
Consumer Marketing Specialist
Q While large families spend
more for food, is the cost on a
per person basis more or less
than for small families?
A, Statistics from the U. S.
Department of Agriculture’s
Agricultural Research Service
show that a family of four us
ing the USDA moderate cost
food plan spends about $32 a
week for groceries. If there are
five in the family, however,
food costs will run five percent
less per person. With six or
more people to feed, you pay
about 10 percent less for each
than for a family of four. For
small families of two or three,
the reverse is true. It costs
about five percent more to feed
each person in a family of
three and 10 percent more for
each in a family of two. And
if a man or woman lives alone,
food costs 20 percent more per
four.
Q. Last week I read that
ket tests.
—approved the fnt project
in a research senes designed to
attempt to open new outlets
for butterfat.
—released a new physical
fitness film titled, "The Time
of Our Lives,” as part of an
expanded public relations pro
gram.
—hailed the return to every
week broadcasting with the
Ozzie and Harriet show on
Thursday evenings beginning
September 27 over ABC-TV
network.
—announced sponsorship of
the third annua! symposium
for the nation's leading dairy
marketing researchers Novem
ber 11-13 in Chicago.
—set the stage for launching
an enlarged dairy products
promotion program in 1963
keyed to “milk staying power.”
Mr. Southwell said directors
from 49 states pledged renew
ed efforts to encourage the
participation of non-member
dairy farmers in the program
of the American Dairy Associ
ation, “in order that our fi
nancial support may continue
to grow.”
| fresh Bartlett pears were in
good supply. What things in
dicate high quality in this
fruit?
A. Look for fresh Bartlett
pears that are firm but not
hard. A ripe pear is yellow
rather than green and often
has a faint blush of pink.
Slightly under-ripe pears will,
however, turn golden when
held a few days at room tem
perature.
Q. Q. What is the outlook
for the pecan crop this year?
A According to the Statisti
cal Reporting Service of USDA,
the 1962 pecan crop will be
smaller. It is predicted that
this year’s crop will produce
onlv one package of pecans for
each three that you saw on
your grocer’s shelf in 1961.

Although his primary target
seems to be fruit and nut farmers,
he is not limiting himself to any
particular group.
