PACE SIX
MRS. HARDIN AND MRS.
GRIFFIN ARE HOSTESSES
Mra. Earl Hardin and Mrs. Billy
Griffin were hostesses to the
Privilege Creek Home Demonstra-
tion Club last Friday afternoon
in the home of the former. The
meeting was a most interesting
and enjoyable one. Mrs. John
Heinen, president of the club, pre-
sided and Mrs. Pat Freeman, sec-
retary-treasurer, read the min-
utes, gave the treasurer’s report
and called the roll. Roll call was
answered with “a purchase I was
disappointed in.” Mrs. Marvin
Hay, Council Delegate, gave a
report from the last Council meet-
ing and told that an Officers’
Training meeting will take place
on March 2, with presidents, vice-
presidents, secretary-treasurers,
reporters and Council delegates
attending.
After consideration and discus-
sion the club voted to not send a
nominee for delegate to the Dis-
trict meeting, to the Council, but
will vote for some other club’s
nominee.
An invitation from Mrs. George
Harrison, Red Cross fund raising
chairman, was extended to the
club, to attend a fund raising
coffee on March 1, 1962 at 9:30
in Mrs. Harrison’s home in In-
dian Waters. Club members were
invited to bring donations to the
coffee.
It was reported that a training
workshop will be held next Mon-
day for the purpose of “covering
shoes.” Mrs. Marvin Hay will
attend this meeting and give a
program at the March meeting.
This promises to be a very bene-
ficial program.
Mrs. R. L. Steven’s demonstra-
tion an ddiscussion on “Selection
and Care of Men’s Clothing” was
timely and most beneficial. She
talked on how to select men’s
clothes, as to fabrics, workman-
ship, durability. She spoke on the
care of shirts, woolens and cot-
tons and other materials, as to
the color choice, comfort of fabric
and its care. Also the special care
required for rayons, woolens and
other good winter fabrics. She
gave instructions in telling how
to buy men’s shirts, what to look
for to get the best grade in
style, etc.
The recreation hour included a
gift auction in which Mrs. Free-
man and Mrs. Marvin Hay each
bought a gift and games in which
Mrs Hardin and Mrs. R. L. Stev-
ens each received prizes. Games
were conducted by Mrs. Marvin
Hay.
Delicious cake and coffee was
served by Mrs. Griffin and Mrs.
Hardin to Mrs. Telvy Robbins and
daughter, Mrs. Billy Griffin and
children, Mrs. Jimmy Word and
children, Mrs. Joe Stein and grand-
daughter, Mrs. Roy Kinnebrew,
Mrs. Pat Freeman, Mrs. John
James and daughter, Mrs. Burnie
Bratton, Mrs. Marvin Hay and
son, Mrs. Edwin Vawter and
grandson, Mrs. E. A. Johnson and
Mrs. John Saul.

Tips on Taxes
The preparation of income tax
returns requires that you do a
| little thinking, a little reading of
rules, and a little searching for
the books and records you should
have been keeping during the tax-
able year. This is the first in a
series of articles designed to as-
sist you in accomplishing your
task.
Generally, you must file an in-
come tax return if you received
gross income of $600 or more dur-
ing a calendar year. However, if
you have reached 65 years-of-age
by the end of the calendar year
for which you are filing your re-
turn, you need not file a return
unless you received over $1,200 in
gross income. These rules apply
whether you are married or single,
si ptinor or an adult.
Gross income refers to all
amounts which you receive for
work you perform and also in-
cludes income and profits which
you receive from the investment
and sale of property or savings.
Income from savings includes in-
terest credited to your savings ac-
count, whether or not you with-
draw it. Gross income does not
include amounts received by you
as Social Security or Railroad
Retirement pension benefits, gifts,
inheritances or workmen’s com-
pensation benefits.
The specific form you use to
submit your return is a matter of
personal choice with you based
upon the type of income you have,
the type of exclusions you claim,
and the amount of deductible ex-
penditures you have incurred.
This year there are only two
income tax forms available, the
1040 and the 1040A. Form 1040A,
the “punch card” form, is by far
the simpler of the two. However,
it may only be used if your in-
come was less than $10,000 and
consisted entirely of wages re-
ported on your withholding state-
ment (Form W-2) and not more
than $200 total of dividends, in-
terest, and other wages not sub-
ject to withholding. A husband
and wife may file a joint return
on Form 1040A if their combined
incomes do not exceed these limits.
Form 1040A also may not be used
if you itemize deductions, claim a
dividend received credit or a re-
tirement income credit or claim an
exclusion for “sick pay."
Form 1040 has been revised this
year, and the old 1040W has been
eliminated. The new form has
only two pages, similar to pages
1 and 2 of the old Form 1040. A
new separate Schedule B replaces
the items (except the summary of
capital gains and losses) which
formerly appeared on pages 3 and
4 of the old form. If your income
is only from salary and wages and
not more than $200 of dividends
and interest, you need only file
pages 1 and 2.
The appropriate separate Sche-
dule B (Supplemental Schedule of
Income and Credits), C (Profit or
Loss from Business or Profes-
sion), D (Gains and Losses from
Sales or Exchanges of Property)
or F (Schedule of Farm Income
and Expenses) should be used if
your income is not all of the type
described.
Our tax laws are self-assiessing
in nature. This means that you,
as the taxpayer, have a duty and
obligation to report the facta and
circumstances surrounding your
receipt of income. The majority of
simple tax returns can best and
most properly be prepared by you,
the taxpayer, after studying the
instruction booklets available to
you.
The Internal Revenue Service
also makes available a booklet
entitled “Your Federal Income
Tax” to help you understand more
complicated problems and more
adequately submit the required in-
formation. Any problems which
you might encounter should prop-
erly be referred to the various of-
fices of the Internal Revenue
Service or your lawyer for advice.
(This newsfeature, prepared by
the State Bar of Texas, is writ-
ten to inform—not to advise. No
person should ever apply or in-
terpret any law without the aid
of an attorney who is fully advis-
ed concerning the facts involved,
because a slight variance in facts
may change the application of the
law.)
Mrs. Charlie Stein is visiting
