Girl Scout fund drive planned across 34 towns
The Girl Scout Fund Drive runs Oct 2 to 6 across 34 Prairie Hills towns lacking United Funds or Community Chest. It costs one dollar a day in 1968 to support troops, recruit leaders, and provide programs in Osceola. Mrs. Harold Thayer chairs the drive. Brownies donated two books to the library as Osceola observes Nebraska Centennial.

Nebraska tax study panel backs 15 percent income tax rate
A tax study committee recommends the Nebraska Equalization Board set the first personal income tax rate at 15 percent with a 20 percent corporate levy. Sen. Terry Carpenter argues 15 percent is safe amid expected revenue shortfalls and could be cut later if excess funds exist. The board must act by November 15 for 1968. The recommendation follows a Lancaster court ruling that upheld the 1967 tax act and precedes a state supreme court review.

Nebraska tax battle ends as sales tax starts and income tax looms
A 100 year fight over a broad based tax system concludes with a 2.5 cent sales tax taking effect June 1 and an income tax slated for January 1, 1968. Judge Ronin rejects opponents claims while a wave of legal and political maneuvers unfolds across Nebraska with appeals eyed and state officials weighing revenue changes. The report also notes power line clearances for a Grand Island substation and CPPD plans for a Missouri River nuclear plant, alongside National Guard drill reductions.
