Financial Calculators Show Benefits Of Saving
FLEMINGTON, N.J. Sever
al cardboard “slide “rule” type
calculators are available that, de
spite their apparent simplicity,
provide a large amount of de
tailed information about the
growth of savings over time.
The principle behind them is
that, even small amounts of
money, especially if placed in
tax-deferred savings vehicles
(e.g., 401(k)s and IRAs), will
gqqw ,to significant sums oven

Dairy Maids To Represent
Lycoming Dairy Industry
Representing the Lycoming County dairy industry,
from left, are Rebecca Ulmer, Lora Fry, Sarah Shults,
Sara Ulrich, Danna McClain, Vanessa Greider, and Donni
ca Greider.
After the crowning of the new
dairy maids, former princesses,
alternates, and committee mem
bers were recognized. The origi
nal committee members were
presented with a painted milk
rule, called “Tax Savings Calcu
lator.” The calculator shows the
monthly tax savings available for
various amounts contributed
monthly to tax-deferred plans
(e.g., 401(k)s). The tax savings is
calculated by multiplying the
amount saved by a person’s mar
ginal tax bracket.
On the flip side of the TIAA
CREF slide rule is another set of
tables called “Compound Inter
est Calculator.” >This calculator
shows how much an investor can
accumulate by making various
monthly contributions that earn
various rates of interest over

ously, the longer one saves, and
the more they earn on their
money, the more they’ll accumu
late.
Another helpful slide rule is
the “401(k) Booster Calculator”
from Advantage Publications
(800-323-6809). This calculator
shows what investing just one
percent more of your pay will
grow to in a tax-deferred savings
plan. For example, one percent
of a $30,000 salary is $3OO. For a
40-year old, an extra $3OO con
tributed each year to a 401(k)
plan would grow to $33,835.

ANSWER Samuel Skokut, Ruffs Dale, writes that
an article stated that red clover tea can boost immuni
ty and ward off hay fever attacks. He wanted to knoW
how to make his own tea. Thanks to Anne Wiegle of
Springhill Farm for e-maiiing the following information.
To make an infusion, use hot water, not boiling. Steep
2 teaspoons flowering tops in a half cup water for 10
minutes. Take 1 to IV2 cups a day, with or without
honey, a mouthful at a time.
Red clover tea is a diuretic, expectorant that has
been popular as European Folk medicine. The tea
made from flowering tops is believed to stimulate liver
and gallbladder activity and is taken for constipation
and sluggish appetite. Anne said the information in
cluded in The Herb Book by John Lust does not men
tion using the tea to ward off hay fever, but, she
writes, it may work since the liver and gall bladder pu
rify the body.
ANSWER Stephen A. Lapp, 69 Long Lane, Kirk
wood, wanted to know how to dehull oats and spelts.
He has a mill to crimp them for oatmeal but doesn’t
know how to get rid of the hulls. Thanks to Anne Wie
gle, Pottstown, who writes that the best way to learn
how to dehull oats and spelts is to attend the Old
Thresherman’s Reunion, which is held in August a Kin
zers, Pa. She believes to winnow grain, pick a breezy
day, spread out a tarp and put the flailed grain on it.
Use a plastic grain scoop shovel to toss it into the air.
The wind will blow away the chaff, and the grain will
fall back down onto the tarp.
