MORI STATE RULINGS:
Chocolate in candy taxed,
for cookies, it's exempt
AUSTIN (AP) - Chocolate in
dandy is taxable but for making
cookies it is exempt.
That's another sales tax ruling
from State Comptroller Robert S.
Calvert.
Calvert issued four more regu
lations Monday in the senes of
administrative interpretations that
apply to the 2 per cent levy on
sales over 24 cents.
The tax is effective this Friday.
"Candy bars or candy kisses
are confectionery products and
thus subject to the tax." Cal-
vert's ruling said. “Chocolate bits
sold to be used in making cook-
ies are food products and thus
are exempt.”
The comptroller said the tax
exemption given food and food
products intended for human
consumption does not in-
clude medicines, tonics, vitamins
and medical preparations in any
form. However, another part of
the bill exempts medicines solJ
on a doctor's prescription.
The sale of a package of food
product which contains a custo-
mer premiums, such as dishes, is
exempt unless the price of the
food-premium is 25 per cent high-
er than the price of the same
food product sold without the
premium.
Calvert said that the tax affects
meals served by restaurants,
hotels, boarding houses, soda
fountains, private clubs and any
other operations where meals are
served, either on or off the pram-1
lses. This includes food sold to
persons seated in a bleacher sec-
tion or in an athletic stadium,
Calvert said.
Food sold by vending machines
is subject to tax only if seating
or eating facilities are furnished
adjacent to the machines.
A boarding house or hotel that
operates on the so-called Ameri-
can plan must separate the
charges made for board and room
so the meals can be taxed. Other-
wise, both board and room will
be taxed under the 3 per cent
hotel occupancy tax
Meals served to students and
teachers of elementary and high
schools, both public and private,
are exempt from the tax. How-
ever, this does not exempt food
served to a teacher's luncheon
guest. Neither does it exempt
food sold at a box supper by a
parent - teachers association and
was not sold during the regular
school day, Calvert said.
The exemption also does not
include food sold to students or
Wichita Falls man
held for desertion
JOLIET, 111 (AP)—Lemore L.
Fowler, 50. of Wichita Falls was
arrested by FBI agents Monday
and turned over to military po-
lice to face an Air Force charge
of desertion.
Fowler, a traveling salesman,
is accused of deserting from Self-
ridge Air Force Base in Michigan
in 1950.
Fowler enlisted in the Air Force
after receiving an honorable dis-
charge from the Army in 1950,
FBI agent James H. Gale said.
Fowler had served nine years in
the Army.
universities, colleges and junior
colleges.
Meals served bv church groups
will be taxable when a charge is
made for the meal. The tax also
applies to meals served employes
by an employer if there is a
charge made for the meals.
Meals served in summer camps
will be taxed, as will meals
served in railroad dining cars.
Service stations operators are
liable for the tax on all eligible
items sold or consumed by him.
The operator may pay the tax to
his supplier and be repaid by-his
customer or he may collect di-
rectly from the customer. For
example, Calvert said, a service
station may want to pay. his
supplier for the tax on greases
used in grease jobs but will want
to have the customer pay the
direct tax on tires, tubes and
batteries.
The comptroller said the bur-
den of proving any sale is not
a retail sale will fall on the seller
unless he requires the purchaser
to sign a certificate saying the
merchandise will be resold. Then
the responsibility for collecting
the tax shifts to the person
making the final sale to a
consumer.

Autoposies being sought
in unusual wreck deaths
DALLAS (AP)—Two men died
following a traffic crash here
Monday but doubt arose if the
deaths were due to injuries sus-
tained in the mishap.
Virgil Lee Jenkins, 57, Dallas
and Herbert Jack Noble, SI, Sea-
goville, died following the spec-
tacular four-vehicle accident.
Examination of the bodies at
a Dallas hospital revealed no ap-
parent serious injuries. Peace
Justice W. E. Richburg said he
would seek autopsies to determine
the causes of death.
WHAT ABOUT YOURS?
School drop out kids
have a lot in common
WASHINGTON — Surveys show
that young people who drop out
of high school have many charac-
teristics in common. If your child
is unsuccessful in his school work
.. .if he does not take part in the
extracurricular activities provided
fc;’ his school and has no friends
in school. . .if he does not think
an education is important to his
future. . .or if you and other mem-
bers of the family do not place
a high value on education. . .he
may decide to leave high school
as soon as the law allows.
So said the National Education
Association recently, as it called
America’s attention to the fact that
the high-school dropout problem
is growing more senous each
year. Nearly one million boys and
girls, 16 and 17 years of age,
who should be in high school are
not. The reason this problem will
get worse, according to the NEA,
is simply that the big bulge in
school-age population is now mov-
ing from the elementary schools
into the high schools
What happens to these youngs-
ters who have left textbooks and
teachers behind? They hang out
in gangs around street comers,
or work casually from time to
time at low paying jobs. They
have no skills to market. Many
of them are habitues of the juve-
nile courts. All this adds up to
Dm moat disgruntled, disillusioned.
and unsatisfactory group of work-
ers in America.
Among those failing So finish
high school the unemployment
rate is almost double that of those
who do finish, and more than three
times that of those who have had
some college education.
Is your child a potential drop-
out? Could be — if he fits the
following description:
The dropout is usually a boy
(55 to 60 percent of dropouts are
boys). Intelligence is not a pri-
mary factor — he may have
either low intelligence or extreme-
ly high intelligence. In either case,
his school may lack facilities and
staff to serve his specialized needs.
However, the dropout is usually
either average or below average
in ability. He frequently comes
from a family with a modest in-
come. and the desire for his own
spending money is a strong in-
ducement to leave school. He is
often an individual with senous
reading problems.
If the dropout is a girl, her
reason for leaving school is prob-
ably to get marned. Oddly e-
nough, a hijfher percentage of
bnght girls give marriage as their
reason for leaving school than do
their less bnght sisters.
If your child fits this pattern,
you would be wise to start work-
ing closely with his school now,
to encourage him to etay till he
graduates.
