F. Jay Buckley, local T \" sen·iceman, has inYented a. de,·ice thaL will greatly s implify certain types of sen·ice calls. Called an a n Antenna Loading 1\'leter , the de,·ice is intended to measure the amount of antenna loading.
In laymen's language this simply means that Buckley's in,·entlon can tell at a glance whether the trouble for which he was called is in the set itself, or whether the fault lies with the antenna.
Plugged into a wall outlet and then connected to the lead-in wire of a TV antenna, the meter tells, by a glance at the needle, whethe1· the antenna is shorted out, if one lead-in wire is broken, if corrosion is pr~ent or if a loose connection i" responsible fol' .A

"In fact", said Buckley, "the m eter can tell, even at night, right from the inside of the house, exactly what is wrong w ith any type of TV aeria l. " This feature saves unnecessary clambering about on a roof and will save the customer money on many service calls.

T his year's redesigned tax forms make it easy for you to Indicate the personal exemptions to which you are entitled.
Every taxpayer is entitled to one exemption, which means a deduction o! $600. Those 65 or over have a double personal exemption, and blind persons o! all ages have an extra exemption. T hese r ules apply to I applied as of the time o! his death. both husband and wife on join t returns.
In addition, you are entitled to one exemption for each qualified dependent, bu t t he extra exemptions fot· age and blindness cannot be taken for _dependents.
Rules for Dependents To qualify for an exemption a
4'ependent must: 1. Have received m ore than halt

6. Have been either a citizen of the United States or a resident of the United States, Canada, Mexico, Panama, the Canal Zone or, in some cases. a servIceman's child living in the Philippines.

* * * Apparently the flood danger has passed. The Grand has really dropped since last week at this time. Here in Lowell the Roth Furniture store had just a little water in their basement, but by moving the stock and digging a hole in the bottom of the elevator shaft to drain the water, the threat soon passed, much to their relief.
* * * At present a carpenter is busily working here at the office. We are going to have our own dark room which will save yours truly a lot of driving and will result, we hope, in more and better pictures for your paper. By the way, if any of you would like copies of pictures appearing in our paper, a call to
