AT NIGHT
"It is important that the

• after dark" says Dan McCarthy,

Over half of all pedestrian
fatalities occur during hours of
darkness when reduced visibility
on the part of both the motorist
and the pedestrian plays a major
role in the death toll.

OMAHA -- A 14-thousand-
foot levee along the left banks of
Troublesome Creek and the East
Nishnabotna River is recom-
mended for flood control at
Atlantic, according to the Army
corps of engineers.
This recommendation is in an
interim report completed by Col.
O. H. Robinson, acting division
engineer, Missouri River
division, U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers, and Col. B. P. Pen-
der.grass, Omaha district
engmeer.
The report is being referred
for review to the Board of
Engineers for Rivers and Har-
bors in Washington D.C.
Atlantic would be protected
against discharges equal to the
maximum floods of record on
Troublesome Creek and the East
Nishnabotna River which oc-
curred in September and July
1958.
The proposed levee would
extend from the Chicago, Rook
Island and Pacific Railroad
embankment east of Atlantie's
powerplant to U. S. Highway Six
west of Atlantic. Work would
include raising both a railroad
bridge and a highway bridge.
Built with three to one side
slopes, the levee would have a top
width of ten feet.
Estimated first cost of the
improvement, based on 1968
prices, is $1,451,000 of which
$1,297,000 is Federal. Non-
Federal costs for lands,
easements, rights-of-way and for
certain relocations and
modifications of existing
facilities would be $154,000.
Operations and maintenance
costs, estimated at $3,900 an-
nually, would be a non-Federal
responsibility.

New tax bill's
provisions
HOLIDAYS are a tune to
enjoy with the family. A time
everyone makes a special effort
to get home. I wish all of you a
joyous Holiday Season.
+ + +
Holidays are also a time not
to forget safety. Unfortunately
this time of year brings a rash of
fires which sadden Christmas for
many families. Take that extra
precaution when decorating with
candles or lights and evergreens.
HERE'S an early clue for
you January bargain hunters.
"'Save Up To 50 Percent" -
"All Sportswear 25 Percent Off" -
"Annual Dress Clearance -
Everything Goes." These are the
signs that herald the January
clothing clearance sales - sales
that can help you save on family
clothing costs if you shop wisely.
But before you pick up a
bargain, ask yourself these
questions:
WASHING'ION, D.C. -- Here
are the dates on which major tax
relief provisions of the tax reform
bill -- and consequent reductions
in taxes withheld from pay
checks -- take effect:
Jan. 1, 1970- Reduction in
the income tax surcharge from 10
to 5 percent. A new low-income
allowance of $1,100.
July 1, 1970 -- End of the
surcharge. Increase in the
personal exemption for each
dependent from $600 to $650.
Jan. 1, 1971 -- Increase in the
standard deduction from the
present 10 per cent of adjusted
gross income up to $1,000, to 13
per cent and $1,500. Low4ncome
allowance changed to $1,050. New
reduced rate schedule for single
persons. Now maximum earned
income rate of 60 percent com-
pared with present 70; but the
new rate is subject to some
limits.
Jan. 1, 1972 -- Increase in the
personal exemption to $700. L,ow-
+Do you really need it? income allowance changed to
+Does it fit? Or will it fit $1,000. Standard deduction raised
next year if it's children's to 14 percent with $2,000 ceiling.
clothing?
+Are care instructions
complete ?
+Will the style be good next
year ?
+How much are you saving?
+Is it well constructed?
You'll find your best buys in
c)ats, jackets, dresses, slacks,
sweaters, sportswear and snow
boots. The average savings is
usually 25 percent, but you can
save as much as 50 percent.
"All of us who have driven at
night know what a harrowing
experience it is for someone to
appear suddenly before us,
barely giving us enough time to
stop."
The Motor Club of Iowa urges
adults and children to take time
before going out after dusk to
wear or carry something white or
bright. He recommended the use
of tetra-reflective materials,
especially for those persons
whose jobs require them to be on
the streets at night.
New maximum earned income
rate of 50 percent, still subject to
some limits.
Jan. !, 1973 -- Increase in the
personal exemption to $750.
Standard deduction raised to 15
)ercent with $2,000 ceiling.

LETTERS
TO THE /
• Dear Christmas City: '
God is Love! Love became
Human! To be haman is to be
loving. This is the reality I found
Harlan to be - haman and loving.
This was not an occasional oc-
curence, but a daily reality - as
• all adult love is. Your love was
not Methodist, Catholic,
Lutheran, Baptist, etc., but
human. I! ever denninations,
nationalities, or race interfer
with this reality, the community
will commit communal
blasphemy.
I pray daily in gratitude for
the Harlan Community, and that
always and everywhere, anyone
who encounters this community
will find it Incarnate (In-The
Flesh; humanly Christ-like) as I
did.
Christ came to serve, not to
be served; to give Life; Life more
abundantly. The gift has been
offered; Harlan has accepted it -
continue to do so.
