/ "N_-- ,&apos;N t/./J \\;\/ t 4 " The c+ P. ..... -! .r,md Newspaper in the Feather River '',/ond:,r!nd---Reaching Over 3000 Readers Weekly Volume 21Number 38 GREENVILLE. PLUMAS COUNTY, CALIFORNIA THURS., DECEMBER 6, 1951 AS WE iT-- Greenville was privileged to have Greyhound bus service through the town last Friday for one day only--when the can- yon highway was closed due to slides obstructing the road. Ser- vice was temporarily routed over highway 89 and 36. Currently highways 40 and 50 have been snowed in as a result of the un- usual weather, and highway 24 is again reaping the benefit of its year-round accessibility. Due to an oversight we failed to give credit to Jack McNaugh- ton of the high school faculty last week for taking the photo- graphs which we reproduced on the front page of the Record. We take this occasion to acknow- ledge the contribution and to thank him. Lack of organization and lack of advertising in Greenville are again resulting in much of the community's Christmas business going to Susanville, Reno, Ore- rifle, Quincy and elsewhere . . . If a small percentage of the busi- ness that goes elsewhere were re- tained here, this locality would be able to engage in numerous pro- jects for community betterment that it can't undertake under pre- sent circumstances . . . It's nice to have stores nearby when we need them, but they can't be a credit to us or help to build our town if we don't accord them a higher degree of support the year around. In short, our town can be no better than we make it and buying at home is a funda- mental we should all observe. The average age of the United States Senate, statisticians report, is coming down. With three Sena- tors under 40 and only two over 80, the average is 57.45 as against slightly over 58 in 1947. Califor- nia, the figure experts state, has the youngest delegation with Sen- ator Nixon 38 and Senator Know- land 43. The Republican Handicap? One dollar out of every six in income received by the American people from all sources in 1950 was re- ceived from the various govern- mentsFederal, State and local. Controls, they're wonderful! Washington won't permit tire manufacturers ,to produce white- side wall tires. Loophole search- ors have found that there is no- thing in the regulations that says the customer who wants white- side wall tires can't apply the la- tex white paint personally, though. Buy a tire and get a can of paint free? So far our predictions concern- ing General Ike Eisenhower have been 100% correct: According to this morning's radio broadcasts, he has consented to let his name appear on the New Hampshire primary ballot as a Republican candidate for the presidency. And speaking, of predictions, OPS Chief Mike DiSalle now ad- vises trlat another upsurge of the general price structure is to be expected soon . . . just what does ')PS" stand for, anyhow? More folks than publicly admit the fact, recognize the force of divine authority when occasion arises. The following clt]ing brings wonderment as to wl llore of us don't apply the prinple of faith in such power to the gre need of the day: 'Ve need to pray continually for world peace; we need to pray continually for world leaders. We need to pray continually for the enlightenment, wisdom, and gui- dance of everyone who is in a place of importance, of everyone who makes decisions that affect the peace of the world, of every- one who has any part in formu- lating plans and policies for men and nations. Even though we may not 4prove of the ctions of cer- tain world leaders or pernally agree with decisions they make, we can still continue to pray for their fluminatlon and guidance, .we can know,that tlm in places of importance are made more re- CBA00,00BER OF COMMERCE TO DISCUSS MATTER OF FORr0000,ING flTY neorporation of Greenville into a city is among the matters to be given consideration by the Greenville Chamber of Commerce, which will hold its regular meet- ing on Wednesday of next week, Dec. 12. at the Pioneer banquet room. it is stated by Secretary Vadney Murray this week. Other items on the agenda are the establishing of a different meeting time, investigation of the installation of a sewer system and the projects underway of develop- ment of the park area and the securing of transportation service here, he said. The meeting will convene at 8 o'clock, and anyone interested in the welfare of the Indian Valley area is welcome to attend. Mur- ray said. PLUMAS ,MINSTRELS TO STAGE BIG SHOW AT ,q] SCHOOL TONIGHT Tonight is the Big Night when the Plumas Minstrels will present real old-time minstrel show at he Greenville High School Gym. Under the direction of Joe Good- win, a east of 36 will present many well-loved Southern melodies as well as several of the newer popular songs.

THREE FOURTHS OF ALL TAX FUNDS TAKEN FEDERAL GOV'T "The tax dollar is rapidly leav- ing state and local governments.' !t is being consumed by Wash- ington," said Frank E. Packard, xecutive Vice President of the ¥este Tax Council while in San Francisco last week, attending a series of tax conferences. "Twelve years ago the tax dol- lar was divided about equally among federal, state and local, but today three-fourths goes to the National government," he said, "even in peace yearS." Our state, county and city treasuries are feeling the impact of this rapid trend toward a fed- eral socialized economy. F r e e enterprise is being hit hard with the tax take permitted under the unlimited powers of the sixteenth amendment to the Constitution. With a majority of the members of the twenty-six state legislatures having adopted a resolution to demand that Congress submit to the states the matter of Federal taxation and the placing of a 2% ceiling on income, gift and estate taxes we have seen that members Of Congress do listen. President Truman asked for a ten billion dollar tax a few weeks go. Con- gress "stopped, looked, and listen- ed '' and voted five and a half billion. Right now there is a salutary effect on Washington's expendi- tures  and its reckless levying of taxes. ix additional states are required to reach the necessary two-third_s, or thirty-two states, to pass the resolution which will compel Congre to let state leg- islatures have an apportunity to have something to say regarding Federal taxation, prayers. "Let us have faith in God and in His Spirit in man to bring forth peace in the world."

Such a task will, ac- cording to Supervisor Cloman, take same three months to com- pile, but when completed will make possible a book appraisal of county property.
