Now is a good time for you
to look at your 1966 income tax
situation. The good tax folks
point out that some wage earn-
ers may still owe additional tax.
especially those who have in-
come other than their wages.
If you owe additional tax and
have not filed an estimated tax
return, it is not too late to have
your employer take out addition-
al withholding before the end
of the year. It is better to look
now than to be surprised on
April 15.

Dear Mr. Stults;
This definition of “Freedom''
is the best 1 have ever run
across, so thought I would pass !
it on to you to give others “Food j
for Thought’’, also.
Freedom
The power to choose the work I
I do,
To grow and have the larger ]
view.
To know and feel that I din j
free,
To stand erect, not bowed to j
knee.
To be no chattel of the state.
To be the master of my fate:!
To dare, to risk, to lose, to
win,
To make my own career be-
gin;
To serve the world in my own
way;
To gain in wisdom day by day,
With hope, and zest, to climb,
to rise—
That truly is free enterprise.
This is the Freedom we were
given. Are we strong enough to
keep it? We do hope and pray
that we are!
Thank you,
Mrs. Alfred Gensler
