F.F. A. Slave Sale
F.F.A.  SLAVE SALE
.ai*=*      —»¦  .     v^*ii<£MvV   ::   "'¦
A total of 32 boys -^e "sold" at the annual "F.F.A ^pve Sale" held on Friday evening, Novem¬ ber 13 at the Huntley High School. The F.F.A. netted $554.25 on the "sale" of the boys. Three of the lx)ys "sold" for $31.00 apiece. In addition to the "sale" of the boys, $51.00 of cakes were sold and $112.00 miscellaneous items mak¬ ing a grand total of $717.25. .
Each year the Huntley F.F.A. Chapter holds such a "sale" to raise money for the F.F.A. activ-- ities throughout the year. % of the money goes to the F.F.A. Advisory Committee for a scholarship fund, the other % to the chapter.
The boys all volunteer their lab¬ or for one- day to do various jobs for the 'purchaser" who "bids" highest for them. The sale itself is conducted in much the same way as actual slave sales were held over 100 years ago. The "auct¬ ioneer" (in ' this case Howard Ruth] conducts the boy to the Vauctlon block" on which he stands while business men and residents of the town "bid" for his particular service for one day. Each "purchaser" has to provide the "slave" with a hot meal at lunch time. Usually the boy works frwn 8 A.M. until 5 P.M. other arrangements are made.
Miscellaneous items said at the auchion included Mr. Ruth's com¬ ical hat and various products do¬ nated by local merchants.

WW II Over?
The administration's announced plans to seek cust in excise taxes on certain luxury items leaves tel- ephon customers paying 10% on their monthly bills, an Illinois Bell Telephone spokesman said.
Hale Nelson, vice president, Ill¬ inois Bell Telephone, expressed dis¬ appointment that the burden of a 10% tax on a business and domestic necessity may be lift on the sho¬ ulders of the nation's telephone custorems.
Secretary of the Treasury Dil¬ lon, following a meeting with pres¬ ident Johnson on November 11, announced plans to ask C^sngress to reduce or eleminate taxes on such items as toliet articles cos¬ metics, jewelry, furs and leather goods.
Nelson commented: "With all the discussion about ecise t£ix cuts, I am astonished that it is proposed to cut seldom-bought luxury items like furs and handbags and to leave off the recommended list a necessity like telephone service. The telephone user has been pay¬ ing this tax every mounth, every year, for more than 20 years as a 'temporary wartime' tax."
"It was originally put on to dis¬ courage telephone usage diu-ing the was. A telephone customer is now paying an average of about $22 per year in federal excise taxes and unless action is taken at the next Congress, he will continue to do so. All emergency excise taxes on utility users, except the tax on telephone service have been repeal¬ ed."
In their testimony before con^ gressional cc»nmittees asking re¬ peal, telephone companies have pointed out that phone service to¬ day is a necessi^ rather than a luxury and that the tax falls most heavily on the Iow<4ncome tuer.. It also increases the cost of doing bustaess for every company in the land.
Since the tax is levied directly against the individual consumer, its elimination would mean thai full savings woidd go to him. "Thia one is on you," the telesAone company said.
