Snow Probably Cancels
Lion Baseball Opener
The unpredictable Penn State weather has, in all probability, forced a postpone
ment of Saturday's Lion baseball opener with Bucknell at Beaver Field.
After playing havoc with the Lion training schedule the past three weeks, "old
man weather" sent the knockout blow yesterday to the Nittany Valley in the form of a
combined snow—sleet fall.
Call it what you will, the result is still the same—the Lions expect to have their
season's opener cancelled for the!
second straight year. Last year ' s

"My boys are all anxious to
play. Some of them even said to
me at the training table. 'We ll

They're just itching to play
this game."
Back in the golfing camp, Boyle
holds a slightly different attitude.
"We'll just have more time now
)to try out the boys," said the golf
coach. "I was just going to pick

the weekend to decide.
"This is probably the earliest
golf has attempted to open at

it's definitely the first time that
a golf match has been postponed
—particularly because of a snow)

Where do your taxes go?
You may have a pretty good idea where taxes
go. But did you know that some go to help
pay other people's electric bills?
They're the fannlies and businesses that
get their electricity from federal government
electric systems bite the TVA.
While about 23¢ of every dollar you pay
for electricity from your power company goes
for taxes, those other people pay much less
. . . only about 4¢ per dollar if their power
comes from the government's TVA, for ex
ample. As a result, you are taxed more to
make up for what they don't have to pay.
Don't you think this unfair tax favoritism
needs thorough study and discussion?
