Salesmen
“Hello, I’m here to take a
survey, 1 don’t have a thing to
sell.'' And with those opening
• ines the high-pressure sales
pitch begins.
While not all door-to-door
salesmen are con men. there arc
numerous door-to-door rackets.
Although there are an infinite
number of variations used by
the door-to-door salesman,
knowing some of the basic types
of approaches can help you pro-
tect yourself against being
duped.
Phoney surveys are a favorite
way for gypsters to get their
fool into your door. If someone
claims to be taking a survey,
insist upon seeing their creden-
tials before letting them in. If
they don’t have proper identifi-
cation, say you are nut interested
in participating. You may save
yourself from an unpleasant
high-pressured sales pitch.

To protect yourself from fall-

any purchase. A reputable sales-
man will be happy lo come back.
Before buying, compare prices of
local stores. You might find a
better price.
Don’t sign any papers obli-

the total cost. High interest,
credit insurance and other

-True, some things haven't

These are basic interpersonal
relations, learning how to get
along with people, ethical con-
cepts, honesty and dishonesty
and religious training. People
also still need to acquire certain
basic skills such as learning
how to cook or fix a flat tire,
sharing experiences and telling
children about safety.”
The specialist said that the
same can be said for educa-
tional opportunities.

she explained. "For the parents

Keep Records Now
For Next Year’s
Income Tax
Having trouble with your in-
come tax?
Save yourself a lot of frus-
tration and money, too, by get-
ting organized now for this time
next year.
Mrs. Doris Moyers, home
management specialist for the
Texas Agricultural Extension
Service, suggested keeping a
few simple tax records of tax-
deductible items.
"Sometimes a notebook serv-
es a better purpose and is easi-
er to keep than a printed record
book,” the specialist said. "Sim-
ply divide the book into cate-
gories of spending or money
outlay for tohosfe items that
are tax-deductible when expen-
ses are itemized.
"You never know at the be-
ginning of the year jast how
much some of these expenses
will be.”
Mrs. Meyers said that med-
ical expenses aren’t certain
until you get sick.
"Then it may be loo late to
be able to record all of them.
Start the year off by keeping
up with all of them by setting
aside a portion of your book to
record them. Separate medi-
cines and drugs from other med-
ical expenses. Since these ex-
I penses are handled separately
Ion the tax form, it saves time
| lo keep them separate from the
! beginning.”
; At the end of the year, the
j columns may be added quickly
to determine if medicines and
drugs total more than one per
cent of a person’s adjusted gross
income.
One-half of premiums on
health insurance, up to a limit
of $150, may be deducted, even
though medical expenses don’t
exceed three per cent of income
and can’t bo claimed, the spe-
cialist said.
"Cost of travel to get medical
or dental care may be counted
as a medical expense, subject
lo the three per cent limita-
tion,'' Mrs. Myers added. "If you
use your car, you may claim
either uut-of-poeket expenses
or six cents a mile. If you claim
mileage, it’s a good idea to keep
speedometei readings as proof
of travel.”
Another portion of a record
book may be set up to record
contributions to religious and
charitable organizations. As
these contributions are made
throughout the year, record the
date, the organization and the
amount. Save receipts and
canceled checks to further sub-
stantiate deductions.
"Costs of travel as a volun-
teer for church or charity arc
deductible,” She said- "Using
your car, you may claim either
out-of-pocket expenses or six
cents a mile. Again, speedometer
readings would bo advisable to
have in your records.”
i
Interest paid on home mort-
gage, charge accounts, install-
ment contracts and loans for
personal and household use are
also deductible items that
should be recorded. Early in
1971 the Internal Revenue Serv-
ice ruled that all finance
charges in credit cards and
charge accounts are deductible
as interest when deductions are
itemized. Receipts showing the
amounts of interest paid should
be kept for proof of payment.
When deductions are itemized,
taxes on personal property, sales
taxes and gasoline taxes are de-
ductible.
"By keeping a simple record
it’s very easy to total these de-
ductions and determine where
you stand,” Mrs. Meyers said.

Brucellosis
Eradication
Is Stressed
The scourge of brucellosis
still hangs over Texas, and im-
mediate action i.s needed to
"beef up" the testing program
so that, the dreaded cattle dis-
ease can be eradicated.
Although all Texas counties
are in the "Modified-Certified
Brucellosis Free" status at pres-
ent. 127 of these have delinquent
herds and will lose their status
unless certain requirements are
met, points out Dr. James Arm-
strong, veterinarian with the
Texas Agricultural Extension
Service.
For a county to retain its
Mod;ificd-Certvlied status, the
following requirements must be
observed.
1. When a brucellosis reactor
i.s disclosed at slaughter, the ori-
ginal herd from which the re-
actor came must be quarantined
and a test date set.
2. Any dairy herd showing a
suspicious milk ring test will lx1
required and blood tested at the
earliest opportunity.
3 Brucellosis infected herds
are required to be retested in
not more than 120 days after
the last retest as required by
state regulations.
Armstrong urges all cattle
owners to cooperate in the bru-
cellosis testing program. Loss
of the Modifud-Certified status
would create a severe hardship
on all cattle owners in such a
county, he adds.
Information on the counties
with delinquent herds ran be
obtained from the Texas Animal
Health Commission in Austin.
The Commission Is boosting its
personnel roster to strengthen
and facilitate the brucellosis
recertification program.
The goal of the U S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture is to eradi-
cate brucellosis throughout the
nation by 1975. adds the veter-
inarian.
comfortable with the thought
that their child isn’t going to
college. In fact, they're horri-
fied."
Yet many young people today
desire to enter a trade and be-
come a craftsman. The child
believes (and rightly so, ac-
cording to many experts) that
America lias quickly become top
heavy with intellectual brain
machines and has a critical
need for intellectually endowed
craftsmen and people who op-
erate in a practical world.
If a son or daughter goes off
to college, many parents aren’t
comfortable on today's college
campus — especially if either
ot them attended the same
school.
T remember when ttiis was a
small, quiet campus. Look at it
now," they say.
Another aspect that parents
can’t solve with yesterday's so-
lutions involves the appropriate
amount ot spending money for
miscellaneous activities.
“Stop and consider what your
teenager spends money for,”
Miss Taylor advised. "Most of
the activities weren't even
thought to be possible 25 years
ago."
Other areas of possible con-
flict include how youth feel
about the draft, civil rights,
styles of dress, personal appear-
ance. authority, pressure to get
good marks in school and the
position of t lie female in so-
ciety.
The specialist said that "I
remember when ..." may work
in some cases, but before apply-
ing it or using it as a solution
to a problem today, consider if
the problem you’re trying to
solve is really tile same as it
was when you were a child or
whether anyone even thought
tills situation would ever occur.

I’opoveis arc popping up ill new flavors.
Some foods never lose their appeal, and some recipes chango
little over the centuries — like popovers, once hawked on the
streets of merrie old London and still a favorite. Today, a pack-
age of onion soup mix transforms this classic into a bread with
real 21st century taste and convenience.
Serve Onion Popovers anytime a ho-hum meal needs rescue.
Try this trick: split popovers and fill the hollow centers with
creamed vegetables, seafood salads or scrambled eggs.
There is no danger of overmixing this steam-leavened bread,
so let your mixer go to work on that thin batter. A vigorous
healing develops the gluten in flour and creates the elasticity
necessary for "popping over.”
Popovers have another old fashioned le-t *jp-to-date virtue —
nutrition. Thanks to live modern enrichment process of flour, all
homemade oread contains essential B v ilum.ns, thiamine, mucin
and riboflavin, and the mineral, iron.
ONION POPOVERS
G large or 11 small popovers
3 eggs, well beaten 1 tablespoon oil
1 cup milk i cup en ichei! (lour*
2 tablespoons dry' onion soup
mix
Combine eggs, milk, onion soup mi* and oil. Blend in flour
until smooth. Beat 1 minute with electric mixer on medium
speed or .7 minutes with rotary beater. Fill greased popover pans
or custard cups half full. Bake in preheated 42.'/' oven 40 to )7
minutes, or until brown and firm to touch. For crisper popovers
prick sides to release steam and reduce oven temperature to
150". Bake 20 minutes longer.
