just 4.000 miles from the band-
ing site. Another flew 3,800
miles from the banding point
to place of recover. The flight
was made in one month, an
average of about 125 miles per
day. Teal are where you find
them, and at times will use
rivers as well as lakes. They
winter in great numbers in the
marshes of the upper Texas
coast

Open Letter To The Taxpayers
Of This Area
by D. C. Arthur
It is nearing income tax pay-
ing time again. There are a
few things you should know
that the Internal Revenue Serv-
ice is enforcing now for the
first time.
If you are a farmer and
have not made & declaration of
your income and paid on it, at
least quarterly, then your tax
deadline is Feb. 15. Heretofore,
or up until last year they have
overlooked your being two
monthsl ate.butthe y are now
ked your being two
months late, but they are now
fining those who did not get
their returns in on time. Again,
Feb. 15 is the dead line on
fanners who have not made an
estimated income at the begin-
ning of the second quarter of
the year.
Another penalty being asses
ed that has been rather loosely
enforced heretofore regards the
sale of a place during the first
several months of a year. The
seller must make an estimated
income tax return on the pro-
fit made on the place and pay
70 percent of the tax before
September 15.
Another oversight by many
people is the optional method
of computing car, pickup, or
truck expense where the ve-
hicle is used for business pur-
poses. Here’s how it works:
10 emits per mile for first 15,-
000 mile and 7 cents per mile
for all over 15,000 driven during
the year. This includes every
expense on the vehicle except
parking fees and toll charges
while on a business trip.
But when a car is Used to
go to a doctor or hospital or
for charitable uses one can only
deduct 5 cents per mile.
Also don’t overlook your
minimum standard deduction
Here’s the way it works: $300
plus 3100 for each exemption
listed. This is often advantage-
ous to a large family. For ex-
ample a family that contains
six minors would be $1100, how-
ever $1,000 is the limit, but of-
ten that is an advantage to a
family instead of listing its de-
ductions.
Here is another frequently
misunderstood law: the tax-
free sale of a home. (Which
means a residence, not a farm
or ranch). Here is the law per-
taining to this:
1. This method must be elect-
ed.
2. Tax payer must have
reached age of 65 before sale.
3. One tax-free sale in a
whole lifetime is all a taxpayer
can ever get. Wany people
never heard of this claus) .
Still the election may be re-
voked within three years of
the sale.
4. Here is another often over-
looked claus: “The property
must have been used five of
the last 8 years as a principal
residence to make the tax-
payer eligible.
5. If residence is used for
business and residential pur-
poses, one <»sn thfai on
residential portion only.
6. If man and wife own the
propertly jointly and file a
joint return, they get tax free
treatment if either it 65 or over,
that this applies only on a
home which has an adjusted
sale price of $20,000 or less.
There is still some misun-
derstanding on the sale of a
farm, where the profit is enor-
mous and how to keep down
the payment of all the tax in
the year of the sale. Here is
how: take only 30 percent of
the price as a down payment
and spread the remainder over
a period of years. In that way
down considerably.
These are just a few of the
many complicated laws pertain-
ing to the income taxes, but we
thought they might help some-
one. Thanks, D. Q. Arthur.
hi Beirut
it
be a mallard ben. The shape
of the bill is the principal iden-
ers about their annual kill of
ducks, and they may list the
blue-bill, the scaup duck, as the
most numerous. It isn’t a big
duck, but they seem to be a
sucker for a set of good de-
coys, and after the hunter tost-
*» three sheik at them they
will often circle and come
right back for another look. Fat
and easy to kill, they are the
central theme of many duck
dinners.
The baldpaete or widgeon
migrates in compact flocks,
coming along later than the
teal and pintail, but earlier than
mallards, it is a prime target.
It may mix with and winter
near both mallards and pins,
and is killed along with these
two.
The small but delightful gad-
wall is often mistaken for a
mallard ben. All the books say
that gadwalls are mid-season
migrants, but any hunter knows
that gads are commonly seen
in East Texas in late fall, some-
times getting here with late teal
flights and early pins. The Tex
i F. Penniman, vice
and director of Con-
tinental overseas oil company
has announced ue appointment
of Ira Wavne Sparks as as-
t*ons and government relations
department.
Sparks, who flew into Beirut
last Wednesday, is no new-
comer to the oil busmens. He
atarted his career as oil scout
for Conoco in Houston, some
18 years ago. The year 1951 saw
him appointed division manager
of acquisition and quickly pro-
moted to assistant manager of
Conoco’s acquisition operations
in the North American con-
tinent
In 1954, be was named as-
sistant acquisition manager of
Conoco Central Region in Okla-
homa City, nad two years
later he took up the post of di-
vision manager of acquisition for
the Wichita Division, Kansas.
In 1962, he was appointed
senior acquisition manager of

the desirable list. Back in 1960-
61 the redhead was on the il-
legal list for hunters, but this
was caused by a Canadi a n
drough that has since been al-
leviated somewhat. They are
both large, heavy birds, de-
licious on the table.

the mal
lard is the mottled duck, but
this species lacks the distinc-
tive coloration between male
and female. During the early
part of the season it is a com-
mon species found in the hunt-
er’s bag.
Woodies or wood ducks has
a limited range in the southern
states, and here it’s found along
wooded stream bottoms and
even near many woods ponds.
It doesn’t commonly frequent
the places used by other ducks,
and it has made a good come-
back from its former endan-
gered status.
Canvas backs and redheads,
with markings similar enough
to confuse the novice hunter,
with different shaped heads,
are two diving ducks high on
for the first time.
So, to enjoy a big juicy
duck for dinner this year _
first go duck hunting.
