PETER HUNT, WHOSE workshop it in Provincetown. is famous
tor his lively little peasant people, hii crisp drawings, his novel
borders - they're so easy Jo copy and so pleasing !o the eye. Mil-
lions have drawn or painted them on tray*, pans, bottles, brie a
brae, even old Ha! irons—to effccl a veritable transformation. But
now you need no longer haul out a paint pot and spend hours of
time. Sow, ihey come in decals! Yes, you can apply this merry
folk-art to rockers, furniture, kitchen utensils, walls. Transform a
summer porch info a gay-as-a-circus playground: charge ugly
ducklings like old desks, radios, trays, picture frames, lamps, irons,
buckets into brilliant usefulness. This young couple, for example,
sre transforming a dull ordinary bedroom into a warm, charming
room with those decals. Everything becomes young again with
this colorful decal decoration. Manufactured by Meyercord, the
decals consist of murals, spol decorations, florals, borders, in all
sizes. Each is signed by lhe artist, Peter Hunt. There are merry
hearts, bright blooms, vegetables and gay peasant figures. Peier
Hunt decals are a hobby, an economy, an adventure.

But woetlu r or not you run
-a business; of v.uir . own. you
have :i partner who each year
is claiming a substantial in-

And the law requires that you
keep books for him in case he
ever asks for an accounting.
Perhaps you own your home
or are paying it out in install-
ments. It's likely that some
day you may sell that house.
When you do you'll want to be
able to prove whether you
realized a gain or a loss on
that sale. If a gain in capital
resulted, it probably will add
to your income tax. If a loss
was suffered, it probably will
reduce your income tax.
You may have made certain
capital improvements on the
house while you lived in it, but

It may be that yi-u are
ceiving an annuity on an
surame policy. If so, do
know how much that policy
cost you and how much of that
cost you have recovered lax-
free to date?
There are many kinds of
transactions you enter into that
may some day affect the com-
putation of your personal in-
come tax. The best proof of the
cost of anything you've pur-
chased is a receipted bill or
cancelled check. If one of these
pieces of evidence relates to any
transaction that may affect your
income in later years,- it's a
good idea to keep' it. Your
"pardner" may some day ask
to see it.

Opportunity for
Security?
A nation is strong, virile and productive as
long as its people are more interested in creating
opportunity than in seeking security, especially the
kind paid for by others.
The only enduring- economic security is born of
character, and is carved out by the individual with
his own hands and by his own ingenuity in creat-
ing opportunities for himself and for others.
Unearned Security Saps the Strength
and Vitality of the Individual and of
a People ■— Economically and Morally!
