Far too many parents consider a fine home, two automobiles and an extensive education essential in
providing their children the highest advantages.
Experience is against those who hold such views.
The best homes have been simple homes. What made them rich in quality was the fine relationships
of the members of this family to one another and the relationship they all maintained with God.
Thanksgiving is a true part of the fabric of any happy family's life. Today, in America, the happiest
homes belong to those where the whole family loves one another, loves God and says "Thank you," every
day of the year.

It does not always take a change
in the tax law for people to legally
minimize their federal taxes, say
Internal Revenue Service officials.
Current law contains a number
of deductions and credits for those
who engage in certain financial or
other activities. Contrary to popular
misconception these tax benefits are
available to all taxpayers.
The key to minimizing federal
taxes lies in careful tax planning,
the officials say. The IRS offers the
following tax planning ideas.
— IRA contributions not only
increase your savings but also
result in a tax dedution of up to
$2,000 per working taxpayer.
-- Energy conservation expendi-
tures on your residence will reduce
your energy costs as well as provide
a tax credit. '
-- Educational expenses incurred
in connection with enhancing your
current job skills have not only the
educational value but may be
deductible.
- Timing the purchase or sale of
Each person
has something special
to share,
including the need for
one another.
If your electric bill rubs you the wrong way, you
need to know where to place the blame. We are
using eight times as much electricity today as we
did in 1949.
The member-owned rural electric cooperatives
have done a fantastic job of cost containment.
The price of power is only about twice now what
it was then. But even at only twice the price, if
we use 8 times as much we have a multiple of 16.
But the same courageous people who pioneered
electricity at its lowest possible price, are keep-
ing that promise.
