Noble Counlians Will Pay
More Income Tax This Year
With the approach of tax day, on April 15, the question arises locally, "What will resi
dents of Noble county have to fork up in the way of individual income taxes this year?"
The bite, according to government exp ectations, will be greater than it was last year,
when an estimated $2,250,000 in personal taxes was turned in.
That figure, though unofficial, is based on a breakdown that took into account the fed
eral data on receipts from the State of Ohio, together with earnings and income classifications
in Noble countv.

Issues Challenge
To Community
Local residents provide 0.08
percent of the amount collect
ed from individuals throughout
the state.
The increase expected this
year is not due to any hike in
tax rates. It results from bigger
earnings, on the average, in
1957 than in 1956.
Preliminary reports set the
rise in income locally in the last
fiscal year at 4.5 percent. This
means a tax payment by April
15th of about $2,350,000.
Nationally, the yield last year
from individual taxes was the
biggest in history, around $43
billion. Even more is contem
plated in the Eisenhower budget
for fiscal year 1959.
It estimates that personal tax
returns will be about 3.5 per
cent greater than at present
This would require that incomes
be higher this year than last.
In Noble county, to keep pace
net earnings would have to reach
$13,700,000 in 1958.
The odds are, according to the
experts, that it won't materialize
Business doldrums, they point
out,'are not conducive to large
tax returns.

secure more industry for the community.
Speaking rather frankly on the industrial development of the
community, Robert A. Deacon,''
industrial representative of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
said the job becomes increasingly
difficult with competition such
as it is today.
The speaker said "most com
munities have talked a lot about
local development but have done
very little about it."
He characterized four perspec
tives that a community should
consider in trying to attract
industry. They are: first "What

The Belle Valley senior clas
members are conducting a house
to-house "beprepared -for -ac
cident" campaign this week.
Members of the class will visit
every home in this community
and will present every home
owner with a first aid chart,
showing a proved procedure for
dealing with various types o!
accidents.
They will offer to assist the
home owner in checking his
first aid supplies, and to deter
mine if the home is adequately
stocked for accidental emer
gencies.
The members of the group
will be able to offer a selectior
of first aid kits so that th
home owner may choose the kit
that meets his needs.
The first aid kits are supplied
by the Johnson and Johnson
Company, the world's largest
name in surgical dressings, and
are purchased from Ralston's
store in Caldwell. Profits from
the kits will be used to help
meet the cost of the senior class
on their trip to Washington.
Alice Jean Wickham, presi

hope our campaign will alert
the entire area to the import
ance of being prepared to give
accidental injuries prompt first
aid."
