/ ESON and his dog, NoMo will be for the youngsters at the Fair Saturday. They are /€ KWG Girl, Smokey Visit Girl Scouts Smokey and 1 spent an extremely busy and interesting time this past week. For the first time we visited Girl Scout camps (Smokey, in particular, found this very fascinating!). The camps we stopped at were Camp Kennydell on Black Lake and Camp St. Albans in Belfair. Smokey and I received very warm welcomes and the usual exclamations of joy for seeing the "real, live Smokey the Bear." It didn't take long for us to pass out the song sheets and soon the whole camp grounds were echoing with bars of Smokey's theme song. Each girl received a story of Smokey with colored pictures of his exciting adventure as a cub. Maybe you would like to hear the story. The setting for Smokey's story was Lincoln National Forest, New Mexico, in the year 1950. Smokey was busily occupying himself in his beautiful and green forest home - doing the things that cubs do, like getting into mischief and keeping his mother busy. He didn't know it, but this was the day that would completely change his entire life. This was the day that some camper decided to be careless. A small fire broke out and quickly Smokey's home was filled with smgke. It was not long before the small sparks of flame grew into a raging forest fire. As the forest animals fled with fear, men from al| over the state were called in to help fight the fire. One particular group of men were working on holding back the fire, when the wind suddenly changed and spread the fire toward them. Luckily, there were some large rocks which they hid under until the fire passed. When the men looked up, they saw through the grayish haze, a small bear clinging to a burnt stump of a tree. Feeling sorry for the frightened and burned bear, who had been left behind in the panic, the men took him to their ranger station. Here they nursed the little cub back to health. Someone seeing all the bear's scars from the burns decided on the name Smokey, which I must agree, was quite suitable. This remarkable little bear is still living today in his own home in Washington, D.C. Each year thousands of people come to see our friend Smokey. Smokey has become a national and worldwide symbol for the prevention of forest fires. Smokey posters, stickers, and signs are a common sight today. He even has his own campaign to make our forests safe from fire. We all have a chance to vote for Smokey by taking positive action forward in our everyday practices of fire prevention. The Girl Scouts had a splendid opportunity to join Smokey's ranks by joining the Keep Washington Green Guard. To be eligible for the Green Guard you must be willing to pledge your full cooperation for the Keep Washington Green cause. You also must be from the ages of eight to 16. It costs nothing to join and the only oblilgation of the participant is willingness to serve. If anyone "is interested in joining the Green Guards, please write to me, Janice Wittenberg at - 307 W. Seattle Street, Shelton, Wash. and 1 will send you a Green Guard membership card, manual, and badge. I sincerely hope that the boys and girls of our community will be interested enough to join the ranks of our state's Green Guards. scheduled to appear at 3 p.m. Saturday at the Fairgrounds. n Law Income Rules Tolc] New Vehicle Registration Rules Are Explained Both the buyer and'seller of a costs, ensure that vehicle vehicle are obliged to report the ownership records are kept up to transaction, according to a new date, and simplify the procedure law which takes effect Aug. i 1. for sale of abandoned vehicles.

The exemption also ordinarily applies when restricted allotted land is acquired by Deed Form 5-183b, where Indians who are regarded as unable to handle their own affairs make transfers or allotments within their families, or where restricted funds are used to purchase small amounts of land for needy Indians. However, if tax exempt income is reinvested to produce additional income, such additional income is taxable. To be exempt, income must come directly from or be attributable to use oi the allotted land. Income from a trust allotment rented from another Indian is taxable. Once an Indian has received a fee title to the land, income from the land is no longer exempt. Tribal income not otherwise exempt from Federal income tax is taxable to an Indian tribe member when it is distributed to him or constructively received by him.

Income that a member of an Indian tribe receives from unallotted Indian tribal lands is taxable, unless there is a treaty or a law that plainly exempts such income. The law exempts from income tax any payments made from funds provided under Title II-A of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 and the Manpower Development and Training Act of 1962 to unemployed and underemployed residents of Indian reservations who participate in a training program to acquire skills in construction trades.

If the sale proceeds do not cover the towing and storage costs, the registered owner of the vehicle would be liable for the difference, up to $100. The new law also authorizes cities or counties to pass local ordinances which would further simplify the procedure for disposing of abandoned, wrecked or dismantled vehicles. For instance, a local ordinance could be enacted authorizing the sheriff to declare an abandoned vehicle a public nuisance and dispose of it without notice of sale, provided the vehicle was at least 10 years old.
