Another Way to Look At It (Guest editorial from the Pierce County Leader) mere aoesnt seem to De a man or woman alive who hasn’t growled at taxes . . . and espe cially aggravating seem to be those local taxes . . . the taxes you pay at your own courthouse. You want lower taxes . . . and above all you don’t want any higher taxes . . . here is how you can keep taxes down with some facts you may have overlooked: Consider a county employee ... he is elected to work for the taxpayer and for easy figuring let’s consider his wages $2,400.00 per year. Look at it this way . . . that $2,400 may be the total taxes paid by seven farmers and three businessmen . . . they all have paid $240 per year. What happens if the three businessmen close their doors because business is bad? That leaves only seven farmers to pay their share and each farmer must then pay $333.33 instead of only $240.00 as before the businessmen were forced to close their doors. When you spend your dollars in Pierce and other towns in this county you are helping a bus iness that is helping you pay local taxes. Dollars spent in Norfolk, Omaha or Sioux City never help pay your local taxes. Before you btiy ft is good business to compare . . . compare quality . . . compare price . . . compare the man behind the product. You will be surprised at how your local Pierce county merchant will give you a “better deal” when all points are compared. In addition to a better deal you helped keep down taxes when you bought at home. Maybe it’s only a tire, a shirt, a few repairs or some gro ceries . . . think it over. The out-of-town price was no less but the tax-portion of your dollar helped pay wages of someone in Norfolk, Omaha or Sioux City. Your patronage locally helps cut your local tax . . . don’t fool yourself and help pay for a new school in some far-away town when your young sters will attend a local school. Shop at home first ... if it is not handled by a local merchant that is another story ... but try locally first because the best bargain of all may be in your home town. Silent Prayer Offered for Member— CHAMBERS—The Kellar Ladies’ club met Wednesday, November 17, at the home of Mrs. Glen Grimes, Mrs. G. H. Grimes being cohostess.

Buying gifts of nylon. Lucky the girls who get nylons this year . . . fabrics are lovelier than ever—more exquisite colors, more dazzling whites, more beautiful de signs—and, in addition to all this, there’s a new nylon whitener and brightener that will do a “white Christmas” job for you all through the new year . . . instant bluing in bright bead form now has a ‘plus to make “washbowl washing” as successful as washer washing! So, whether you give or receive frilly, lacy presents of nylon, orlon or dacron, see to it that they get the good care they deserve. If you give such gifts, your friends will appreciate these brief laundering hints. Print, or type, these simple directions on a small card suitable for tuck ing in a bathroom mirror. Include the card in each gift box . .. and, as a special plus, maybe you’ll want to include a box of this new nylon brightener! Here are the easy directions for those “gift cards”—and for you: How To Keep Your Nylons Lovely 1. Soak nylons 5 minutes in suds of very hot water and the instant bluing that comes in bright beads. 2. Suds gently; rinse twice. Extra Beauty Hints: (You may want to make the card large enough to include these “beauty cues”—we know you’ll want to make them a practice in your own nylon care). Always wash white nylons separately from colors. Learn to finger-press for the sake of perfection ... this simply means to pull seams straight, to shake out ruffles, to shape lace edges as you want them to dry. It is a general "once-over” to do when the garments are hung to dry—and, if convenient, once during the drying period.
