birds ar r ive f rom the south in late March or early April that there will be In excess of 100 houses and that one in four will be occupied by bluebirds and each brood will average four. That means 100 new blue-birds will be produced near Lowell In 1964. These birds have a marked tendency to re-turn each year to the same vicinity and you could double your number to 200 In 1963 as-suming, of course, that a few-more houses would be erected. This does not take into consid-eration that many tree swallows will use the houses. The tree swallow is a valuable and beautiful bird. Sometimes it seems even more gentle than the bluebird.

R I. Nixon. Detroit District Director of Internal Revenue, has reminded taxpayers that they a r e responsible under law for all entries and supporting doruments In their Federal tax re tums . no matter who pre-pares Ihe return.

The tax advisor, whether he Is an Internal Revenue employ-ee or a private practitioner, can rely only upon the information furnished by the taxpayer. His p r imary purpose Is the trans-fer of information from the tax-payer to the proper places on the tax form.

Mr. Nixon suggested that taxpayers seeking professional help should review last year's return and read current Instruc-tions before gathering Informa-tion for the advisor. Frequent-ly, a deduction or item of In-come Is missed because the advisor was not furnished the necessary Information by the taxpayer .

Mr. Nixon emphasized that regardless of who prepares the return, the responsibility for fi-ling the return and liability for any underpayment. Interest and possible penalties are the tax-payers .

The meek may finally gel the ear th , but we ll wager the in-ternal revenue boys will be there to collect the inheritance tax.

On April 14, 1963, a friend from the Grand Rapids Audu-bon Club erected a bluebird house at our home. It was lo-cated about 150 feet east of our residence. Much to our surprise the next day a bluebird ar-rived and examined the house carefully. For several days the bird flew from the house to trees nearby but always return-ed to the house. In just a few days a mate arrived and with-out much delay, the female be-gan to carry nesting material

into the house whUe the male stood guard. The male would fight off aU other birds that came near the house while the temale was building the nest. We watched them with binocu-lars during the building process. We were so thrilled that we quickly obtained two more hous-es f rom the Audubon Club, placing them some distance from the first. Ten days later, on April 25, a second pair of bluebirds arrived and occupied one of the new houses. We watched them also during their buUding activities.

We live about a mile nortn of Blythefield Country Club and have a barn or storage buUd-Ing some 60 feet from our resi-dence. These lovely birds soon began using the top o ' this building as a vantage point f rom which they could watch over the two nests and the couutry side. When the two broods were hatched and came out of the nests, the parents seemed to direct the young birds on their first flight to this building and used it a s a train-ing station. It was not un-

However, trans-fers of property to corpora-tions and foundations incorpora-ted in Michigan (outside Michi-gan if reciprocity exists) for benevolent, charitable and sim-ilar purposes are exempt f rom tax. In other words, there is no tax on a transfer to persons or corporations exempt by law for taxation on real or personal property.

The Michigan Inheritance lax is computed on the clear mar-ket value of the property trans-ferred at time of death. If the Inheritance tax is paid within 12 mont hs from the death of the deceased, the law allows a dis-count of 5 per cent; the tax can be paid within 18 months from date of death without any Interest charges. However, 8 per cent Interest per year is charged from dale of accruing where the inheritance tax is no" paid within 18 months.

You should also know that there is a federal es ta te tax which must bo considered in these questions. The best advice is to contact an attorney.

P R I V A T E SUBMARINES —Although the layman would assume that all submarine ves-sels are built for the Navy and constructed in large gov-ernment or private shipyards, such is not entirely the case. Several companies have gone into ihe business of building small, special-purpose subs for industrial and even pleasure use. Laying underwater pipe-line and communications cables can l)e facilitated when a sub is a t the sjM)!. And sub builders also think there's a market for underwater sight-seeing subs. One builder now has a model costing $29,600—not costly com-pared to miliiary types.

THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY! God Makes No Exceptions

Thousands of people who received Time magazine in their homes a couple of weeks ago were shocked upon reading an article in the Modern Living Section covering six pages under the heading "Morals ," with a sub-title. "The Second Sexual Revolu-tion." This article 's expose of the moral conditions and practices of the day was enough to nauseate every decent thinking person. What a filthy society! It bicomes very evident that our children need the very best in Christian training to cope with this' terrible scourge.

What is so shocking, among other thines. is that certain religious leaders are giving room to this thing. Bishop Gerald Kennedy, bishop of one of our largest de-nominations, is quoted as saying that he condemns premarital sex "in genera l" but adds. " I wouldn't stand in judgment. There would be exceptions." "Recently, Wally Toevs, Presbyterian pastor at the University of Colorado, more or less condoned premarital sex when there Is a 'covenant of intimacy' ."

"A distinguished Protestant theologian privately recommends—he doesn't believe the U. S. is readv for him to say it publicly—the idea of a trial affair for some people, a 'little marr iage ' in preparation for the 'great marr iage ' which is to last ."

Every Sunday, in one of our two church services, we read the law of God. the ten commandments. The seventh commandment reads that God said. "Thou shalt not commit adultery." God makes absolutely NO exceptions. No preacher may do so. nor may anyone else.

We must turn to Jesus Christ for forgiveness and salvation and then to the moral law of God for godly living to save our nation from complete ruin.

Today's art buyer not always rich

The man who buys a r t works today often is not a man of great wealth who is building a collection as a monument to himself but a man of more modest means who buys out of love and interest, says Robert Iglehart, chairman of The Uni-versity of Michigan Department of Art.

"There probably will always be both private and public patronage," suggests Iglehart. "But it seems likely that in time the public or community patronage will be the more important ."

Iglehart says a r t patrons have a lways exercised a re-sponsibility which belongs to power. "As the pharoahs and princes and dictators pass, without regret , into history, their responsibilities become our own," he says. "We take pride in our ability to govern better than they. We should some day be able to take pride in giving better encouragement to man in his expression of a r t . "

Iglehart notes that public pat-ronage in a demor-racy is an extremely difficult problem. "One part nf this problem we seem already to be solving very well—that of the museum. We must remember that the history of the modern museum Is contained within a century and a half. The museum's in-terest is directly attributable to the sense of democratic re-sponsibility. They not only house the treasures of the past, but educate the community, and they often purchase the work of the contemporary art-i s t "

The U-M artist says the uni-versity emerging as a r t patron, maintains museums, employs the artist a s teacher, assuring him income and freedom for his work, gives research grants for creative experimentation and awards commissions to artists.

"These two agencies—mu-seum and university—seem to me to provide the best chan-nels for public patronage," says Iglehart.

Jeriel and Ruth (Preston) Be-ard will Ix? the guest speakers at the Lowell Church of the Nazarene at 7:30 p. m. Mrs. Beard was a graduate of Low-ell High School and was the recipient of the Shepherd Nur-sing scholarship here.

The following is a sketch of the Beards:

Ruth Preston was the first recipient of the Shepherd Nur-sing Scholarship. The scholar-ship is given to high school graduates at Lowell who have been accepted for nursing train-ing at Blodgett or St. Mary ' s Hospital in Grand Rapids. The amount of the scholarship was |300.

Ruth entered Blodgett Mem-orial Hospital School of Nursing in 1954 and graduated in 1957. She has continued her education at Olivet Nazarene College (1958-1959) and the School of Public Health a l the University the Bachelor of Science degree in Public Health Nursing by December, 1964. She has been the recipient of a government traineeship in Public Health and two tuition scholarships.

In 1960, Ruth married Jeriel Beard, now a senior medical student at the University of Michigan. Her nursing experi-ence has been quite varied, in-cluding hospital, psychiatric, and public health work.

Recently, Jeriel and Ruth re-turned from the Raleigh-Fitkin Memorial Hospital of t h e Church of the Nazarene a t Manzinl, Swaziland, Africa. They worked at the mission hospital and outstation clinics for 11 weeks.

The entire cost of transporta-tion and living expenses was paid by a grant from the Smith. Kline, and French Lal> oratories. Through the Associa-tion of American Medical Col-leges, similar grants were given to 31 medical students in the nation to work in many rela-tively remote a reas of the world.

The Beards lived in the homes of 6 different missionaries, with whom they participated actively
