The 49th anniversary emphasis empha-sis is "A Scout is friendly." Through their World Friendship Friend-ship Fund of voluntary contributions contri-butions the Boy Scouts of Amer ica have helped Scouts in 48 other nations. America will be represented by several hundred Scouts at the Tenth World Scout Jamboree next July 17-20 in Makiling National Park near Manila in the Philippine Islands.

Fifth, railroads still are deprived of equal opportunity oppor-tunity to share in transporting agricultural commodities commod-ities which, when transported by motor carriers, are exempt from regulation by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Sixth, vitally needed modernization of railroads continues to be frustrated by unsound policies governing gov-erning depreciation of plant and equipment. Authorities agree that Congress made a beginning begin-ning when it passed the Transportation Act of 1958, but that this Congress must take positive additional steps if we are to have the kind of railroads we urgently urg-ently need. This six-point outline of major problems provides an excellent blueprint for equitable action. O THE PRICE OF A STRIKE Robert U. Brown writes in Editor & Publisher: "It has been estimated that the deliverer's strike against New York newspapers cost about $50 million about $25,000,000 in lost newspaper advertising and circulation revenue, $5,000,000 in lost wages to newspaper employes, $10,000,000 in lost retail sales, and another $10,000,000 in lost revenue to other businesses busi-nesses which depend upon newspapers and newspaper news-paper advertising." Despite all this, Mr. Brown goes on, the strikers didn't gain anything. They finally accepted wage increases in-creases and fringe benefits which were virtually the same as those they had been offered and had refused weeks earlier, . o Ah, yes, and it is documented and proved that weekly newspapers are still the best advertising medium me-dium bar none. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. BOY SCOUTS! The Boy Scout movement has reached ripe middle mid-dle age. Boy Scout Week, which will be observed during the February 7- 13th period, will mark its 49th anniversary. But the passage of time has certainly not dimmed Scouting's vigor. It is looking ahead to ever-greater achievements, to an ever-expanding influence. And in this age, with juvenile delinquency rampant, the movement deserves the active support of every decent de-cent and responsible citizen. In its nearly half-century of existence, the organization organ-ization has touched the lives of more than 28,500,000 Americans. Today there are more than 4,780,000 boys and leaders playing the "game of Scouting." This works out to one of every four boys in the 8 to 16-year old groups, and the hope is that this proportion propor-tion will be materially increased. Dr. Arthur A. Schuck, Chief Scout Executive, puts it this way: "Looking ahead for the next five years we must recognize that never has it been so important import-ant or imperative that the youth of our nation be trained to high idealism, acquired through unselfish service, by self-reliance, and co-operative effort." The ideals and objectives of Scouting have remained re-mained uncharged since the movement's birth. But changes have been made in organization methods and operating techniques in order to meet the needs of the time. At the moment, if Scouting is to be brot to mere cf the boys who wantit, there must be more trained leaders and more facilities including camps. Meeting this challenge should be regarded as a pleasure plea-sure end a privilege. Meanwhile Happy Birthday, Boy Scouts! O BLUEPRINT FOR ACTION The nation's hard-pressed railroads have singled cut six major problems that must be resolved if they ere to be able to compete on a fair and equal footing with ether carriers. First, the railroads must help pay for tax-built transportation facilities, such as highways, airway. ana waterways, which are used by their competitors. but they do not have the same opportunity as other taxpayers to use tnem for a business purpose. Second, fully self-supporting, tax-payinq rail roads still are unfairly handicapped by having to meet competition that is tax-suepcried. Third, the World War II 10 travel tax imposed use cf public carriers during the emer- Politicking 7ell be Between Now and There's going to be some extremely extrem-ely intensive politicking between now and November of 19C0 an ob-servation ob-servation which certainly should surprise no one. Eoth the major parlies are full of dissension and with opposed factions seeking power. pow-er. Neither party has anyone who can be considered a safe bet for the Presidential nomination. And neither party, despite the Democratic Democra-tic sweep of last November, can afford to rest on its oars and assume as-sume all is well a fact which the professionals in both camps fully understand and are acting upon. That sweep, of course, led numbers num-bers of people to 'believe that the GOP was on its death bed. But this view indicates a short memory mem-ory or a lack of historical knowledge. know-ledge. Both the Democratic and the Republican parties have been on the ropes before and have come roaring back. For instance, the Democratic surge In 1932 was even greater than that of last year whereas, following the Wilson Administration, Ad-ministration, the party had been deep in the doldrums most of the time. The professional s must contend w ith many problems. For one thing, neither party can present anything resembling a united front on leading lead-ing issues. Both contain Senators, Representatives and Governors who cover the political spectrum from far right to far left. For another, what used to be known as party loyalty among the voters has largely ceased to exist. The straight-ticket voter, ouside of the Deep South, is rare these days. For still another, the personality of candidates has become an infinitely in-finitely more important factor than it used to be largely, no doubt, because be-cause of he vast changes in means of communication. When the candidates, can-didates, so to speak, can come right into the living room, personal magnetism becomes an asset of jewel-like value. Right now, on the Democratic side, the loading Presidential possibilities pos-sibilities are Senators, Kennedy and Symington. Former President Truman, Tru-man, a potent force in his party still, backs the latter. But both face strong opposiion, and this a case where there can be many 3 slip twixt the cup and the lip. Developments on the P.epublican side, so far, have been more dramatic. dram-atic. Vice President Nixon, not lung ago, was considered a virtual certainty. There seems small doubt that he is the Eisenhower choice.. But a cloud ha appeared on the Nixon horizon by the name of Nel son Rockefeller. Mr. Rockefeller swept New York State in the race Extremely Intensive November, 1960 for the governorship in the face of the powerful Democratic tide. A newcomer to politics, whom many considered the veriest amateur, has made the professionals eat crow. He has not, it is true said anything to indicate he wants or seeks the nomination not In so many words, at least. But his inaugural address as Governor certainly was an unusual un-usual one .He gave much more attention at-tention to national and world pro blems than to state problems. He presented ideas designed to ap peal both to conservatives and lib erals. Indeed, so experienced a pol itical commentator as W. S. White writes that in this address the new governor has "thrown a rock into the pond, the fat into the fire and his? hat into the ring." The great old American game of politics has lost none of its color and facination. to doing-that 14 years later. liv neighbors wr- 1 feP "Cut dear, I tried to tell fou the Tolar Bear Gub was different dif-ferent from th Lions, 51ooe Trip to Hawaii Could Be Yours The Delta Jaycees and othjr clubs throughout the state are meeting with such sucess in their sponsored trip to Hawaii project.

A CHRONICLE CLASSIFIED PAYS BIG DIVIDENDS Each exemption is a $600 deduction. de-duction. That is, for each exemption exemp-tion you are allowed to make $600 tax free. Exemptions determine the a-mount a-mount of tax-free income you are allowed each year, and are devised de-vised to make the tax fair between be-tween single persons, married couples, coup-les, and large and small families. You are entitled to one exemption exemp-tion for yourself. You are entitled to one addiional exempion if, on December 31. 1958, you had attained at-tained 65 years of age, or if you were blind. If you were both 65 and blind, you are entitled to two additional exemptions. You are also entitled to exemptions on the same basis for your wife, if you file a joint return. If you file a seperate return, you can claim your wife's exemptions exemp-tions only if she has no income and was not claimed on any other taxpayer's return for 1958. If your wife or husband died in 1958, the additional exemptions for age and blindness are determined as at the date of death, rather than December 31st. You are entitled to one exemption exemp-tion for each dependent. Additional exemptions for old age and blindness blind-ness apply only to you and your wife or husband, not to dependents. Each dependent must qualify under all five of the following conditions. con-ditions. (1) Dependent must have received over one-half of his support from you in 1958. (2) Dependents did not have over $600 income in 1958, 'besides what you provided, unless the dependent depen-dent was your child or stepchild under 19 years of age, or if over 19 years of age, a full time student, stu-dent, in which case the dependent child can earn any amount as long as you -actually provide over one-half one-half of the cost of support. (3) Dependent is not claimed by any other taxpayer and does not file a joint return with any other taxpayer. For instance, do not list a dependent married daughter who files a joint return with her husband. hus-band. (4) Dependent must be a citizen of the United States or a resident of the United States, Canada, Mexico, The Republic of Panama or the Canal Zone. (5) Dependent must be closely related re-lated to you or be anyone else who meets requirements 1, 2, 3, and 4 above and had your home as his principal place of abode and was a member of your household, even if not "related to you. If dependent has worked part time and earned less than $600 in 1958 or was your child under 19, or over 19 and a student, and income tax was withheld from such earnings, the dependent should file a tax return to secure refund of the tax withheld. This will in no way prevent you from also claiming the exemption for the dependent, provided, of course, that dependent meets all five of the above conditions. If your dependent can qualify in all other ways except that von not furnish over one-half of his sup port then perhaps you can arrange with the others who contribute to his support for you to claim the credit anyway under a Multiple Support Agreement Form 2120.
