Prices, Taxes, Budget Discussed by League of Women Voters
The Bethany Discussion Group of the League of Women Voters held their monthly meeting at the home of Mrs. Nicholas J. Spykman on March 21. Mrs. James Howell, Mrs. David Black, and Mrs. Nathan Podoloff led a discussion of the Federal Budget. The relative apportionment of moneys was described and illustrated by charts, with special emphasis on the greatly increased percentage of military appropriations. The present sources of government income and the possible means of obtaining additional revenue were outlined. Under this heading, it is interesting to note (as referred to by Mrs. Black) the most recent breakdown (1947) of who pays these taxes. The figures are those of adjusted gross income, and are a quotation from a release from the Connecticut Expenditure Council, Inc., June, 1950:

Mrs. Podoloff talked about various control measures now in effect and those proposed. The general consensus was that the problem of inflation and the need for additional revenue could both best be met by the same answer: more taxes. For the most part, the group agreed with Mrs. Howell that the middle-income class was most able to bear this additional burden. A vehement opinion was voiced that women, as consumers, should protest rising food and clothing prices, and, that in any government committee in the department of price control, women, as consumers, should be represented.
This Bethany meeting was one of several on the same topic in this area. On last Monday afternoon, the Woodbridge League of Women Voters Discussion Group also considered the question of “High Taxes and High Prices.”
Since women do a large percentage of the buying of all consumer gods, it is important that such groups publicize the forces which affect prices of such goods and the amount of income left with which to buy them. Many state and federal government publications are available for information on these matters, and there are several public meetings dealing with taxes and prices scheduled in the area during the spring.

BETHANY NOTES
Mrs. Lena Fenwick, who is in charge of various recreation activities sponsored by the P.T.A., and Dr. Malcolm Brinton, member of the Athletic Association, attended the meeting of the Bethany-Orange-Woodbridge Recreation Committee held at the Town Hall in Orange on Tuesday evening.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fussell, of Amity Road, gave a birthday party in honor of their daughter, Alice, on Saturday, March 24. The group played games and enjoyed delicious refreshments.

SPORTS
The last bowling competition of the season for the seventh, eighth and ninth graders of the Woodbridge Club was held last Saturday at the Masonic Temple in Westville under the directdion of Mr. Seelye Vidal. High scores for the year will be announced later.
With one session to go in the Bethany bowling league matches this season, the Beckers virtually clinched first place in last Wednesday’s competition. They beat the Landowners 3 to 0. The Fireman, with Irv Clark, substituting for Captain Ray Short, rolling a 355, defeated the Drillers 2-1 to knock the latter out of the running for first place. Andersons beat the Church team with Milt Strong rolling 347 and Mary Clark rolling 340. In that match, Bobby Hickey, home on furlough, bowled a high single of 147 and high for three games of 366. Willowcrest won 2 to 1 over the Garage team, and the Grange-Airport score was 2-1. After the next and last match, it is planned to have a Sweepstakes competition. Final scores and team standings will be announced when available.
