PAGE TOO Bluffton residents happy over the profits they have made in selling their homes or automobiles may be in for sad financial news from Uncle Sam unless they reported the sales for income tax purposes, ac cording to an announcement from the internal revenue collector’s office. Any property sold or exchanged is subject to federal income tax pro visions, it was explained. Even if the property has been in herited, then sold, the sale must be reported for income tax levies. This is called a capital gains tax. Anyone who failed purposely to report the sale of property is liable to a 50 per cent penalty. Other wise a six per cent interest penalty will be levied from the time the sale or exchange is made. The chapel program Thursday, April 18, consisted of a pantomine of Jesus’s death on the cross centering around the actions of Peter.

(Cy) Sprunger, who attended Bluffton col lege ina1911, is attracting as much personal publicity for the well known auctioneer as his celebrated Com munity Auction at Kidron. Sprunger’s unique program bene fiting returning servicemen received a first-page writeup in The Cleve land Plain Dealer, last week. His plan, put into operation last year, provided for obtaining a regis tered brood sow for 100 Wayne county men in uniform, and putting it on the home farm of each man. With nature doing her part, each veteran would find himself with a growing brood of pigs on his re turn. Sprunger interested Hampshire breeders in cooperating, and they provided selected gilts at a cost to him of $50 a head. One hundred gilts were obtained, plus five registered boars. Entire cost of the project was $6,300 to the auctioneer. No strings were attached to the pro gram, the hogs were turned over to parents or others operating farms for the veterans. When the program was put into operation neither the European or Japanese phases of the war had ended, and it was not known when the boys would return. Consequent ly, it was agreed Sprunger was to get one gilt from each litter this spring to distribute to other service men. This means another 100 gilts will be given away this year, and under the same terms, 200 will be available for servicemen the following year. Beginning in 1948, the gilts he re ceives from the broods will go to 4-H and FFA boys and girls. Servicemen appreciation of the project is indicated in a quoted statement by Russ Beals, who spent There’s not Cy Sprunger Gets Nation-Wide Fame With Hog Program For War Vets The Page PairyJCcmpany Phone 489-W Bluffton When you want to ... take things easy THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1946 two years in the Coast Guard: “It’s great to come home to a go ing business. My sow had eight pigs, and they all are doing well. I give one to Cy, but still will have seven left for the fall market. I’ll net about $300 on theproject, and still have my sow.” Sprunger’s celebrated Kidron Com munity Auction is one of the most successful projects of its kind in the nation, and is widely known. He started as an auctioneer in Wayne county shortly after attending the Bluffton college academy back in 1922, and recently organized the Ohio Auctioneer’s association, cover ing the entire state.
