   Now is the time to be thinking about your State and Federal income 
taxes. Start getting all those forms and that nasty shoebox full of
receipts and scraps of paper together, now. It will make things much
easier on you; do it before those awful tension headaches begin, because
once again you were not prepared. Stop telling yourself you will get to
it as soon as your W-2 shows in the mail. Best do it now. Filing early
does not hurt.

   Need information, and it has to be inexpensive or free: Try the
Consumer Information Catalog, Pueblo, CO 81009. Or, U.S. Government 
Books, Superintendent of Documents, USGPO, Washington, DC 20402. This
provides a catalog of the government books produced monthly. Some very 
worthwhile information can be obtained from this source. Civil War buffs
may find this an invaluable source for books about this conflict. Books
that have been produced with government grants can be found in this
catalog, so there are some very diverse offerings.

    The dawning of the Information Super Highway is near. It 
is obvious, since we are getting inundated with commercials 
telling us, what we are missing, but will soon have. There is even
competition among the biggies, reminding us that we already have the 
opportunity to need what is not yet available. Promises, promises. 
What will this Super Slab of knowledge be providing us? For one, it 
will be helping to cram more facts and information our way as fast 
as we can assimilate it. Are we getting enough now? But, what else
will be there during your travels?

    What worries me about this Super Highway is the number of bill-
boards, yes, commercials, that we will encounter as we are speeding
from one fount of information to another. How much will we be paying
to see these commercials as we are speeding down the information
highway. I suggest you wear a crash helmet along with your seat 
belts, while traveling the Super Highway. Or you can contact your
Senators and Congressmen to find out what is going to be on, in, and
around the proposed Super Slab of knowledge, and how much it is going
to cost us.

"They Won't Stay Dead"
a RAG of the past.
                  
    Brian Johnson publishes a little known zine, "They Won't Stay
Dead" ("TWSD") a bimonthly, which covers bad horror movies, amusement 
park nostalgia, drive-ins, obscure music, and more. His interest
in music is attributed to his endeavors as a guitarist with several
bands from the Greenville, PA area. He says of the content, ". . .
the Zine is not just the rantings of a maladjusted outcast." He has
done well researched articles on indoor funhouse rides -- to a former
TV horror movie host, from Cleveland, Ohio. Subscriptions can be
obtained by writing: "They Won't Stay Dead", 11 Werner Rd., Greenville,
PA 16125; you might even ask for a free example copy -- of course a
few bucks for mailing would probably give him motivation to send
a current issue.
