Corey Miers’ | Death A Shock Much Loved Man Dies At Kunkle The death of M. Corey Miers early Thursday morning was a great shock not only to Kunkle but to the entire Back Mountain. Mr. Miers, at 81, was one of the most alive men in the community. Up until a very few weeks before his death of a heart attack, he attended the weekly Sat- urday night square dances in the Kunkle community hall, frequently flying back from his son Jefferson’s summer home at Chautauqua to in- sure not missing an evening of the fun he so completely enjoyed. He was as young in heart as any of the teen-age group at the dances. Mr. Miers was a complete extro- vert, enjoying people just because they were people, and not for what they could do for him. Neighbors found him ready to lend a hand in any emergency. He was one of the most solid members of the commun- ity, descendant of one of the pioneer families of the region, a son of Thomas Jefferson and Jane Ferguson Miers. His wife, the former Amy Kunkle, died January 7, 1949. Mr. Miers’ family confidently expected him to round out the century mark. His mother lived to the age of 95 in the old homestead where Mr. Miers spent his life, dying from the effects of a fall rather than from old age. i | He kept a scrapbook of pictures of local people. An inveterate clip- | per, he preserved a stack of Dallas | Posts for years back, cutting what | he wished for his scrap book, an invaluable record of Kunkle life and times. | Services will be held on Monday | at 11 a.m., with Rev. Ruth L. Under- wood conducting services for a val- ued friend and member of her con- gregation from the Williams Funeral Home. Friends may call Saturday from 7 to 10, and Sunday, 2 to 4 and 7 to 10. He is survived by three sons: H. Russell Miers, Kunkle; Thomas J. Miers, a top executive of the James H. Matthews Stamp Company, Pitts- burgh; James A. Miers, Pocomoke City, Maryland; a daughter, Mrs. Wallace Perrin, Tunkhannock; and thirteen grandchildren. To Be Buried In Bethlehem Heart Attack Fatal To Oscar Behee, 71 Oscar Behee, Holcomb’s Grove, will be buried today in the family plot in Bethlehem Memorial Park Cemetery, by the side of his wife Frances, who died six years ago. Services at 11 a.m. will be conduc- ted by Rev. Frederick Eidam, pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, from the Hughes Funeral Home, Wilkes- Barre. The cortege will then drive to Bethlehem for committal services, Mr. Behee would have been 72 on his next birthday, June 16. He died in his own home early Tuesday morning, of a sudden heart attack, following several years of failing health. Injured in a football game at Wilkes-Barre High School in his boyhood, he later developed a crip- pled condition which he overcame by walking with a. cane. | He did not marry until after he returned to Wilkes-Barre from Beth- lehem, where he was employed by the Bethlehem Steel Company on the open hearth furnaces, and joined his father in the Behee Transfer Company in 1930. His wife, the former Frances Goth, had married children. Mr. Behee considered the eight grandchildren, seven boys and a girl, as the children he had never had, and was very fond of them. Tommy, 10 years old, son of Mrs. Hilda Davis, made his home with his mother and his step-grandfather. Son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Behee, Mr. Behee lived for the greater part of his life in Wilkes- Barre, moving in 1940 to Shaver- town, and retiring from active busi- ness seven years ago for reasons of health. Though curtailed in his acti- vities, he was busy doing various things in the home and a familiar figure on Shavertown streets. He belonged to St. Paul's Luther- an Church, and was secretary of Dallas Lions Club. Funeral arrangements were post- poned until a brother in California could be reached. Daniel flew in from Oakland on Wednesday. Mr. Behee has no lineal descend- ants. Stepchildren are Mrs. Hilda Davis, Shavertown; Mrs. Alice Zonay, Mrs. Janet Steager, and Raymond Goff, all of Bethlehem. There is a cousin, Mrs, Ethel Tennant, West Pittston.

These articles are based on information provided dy the American Institute of Accountants, and the Pennsyl- vania Society of Certified Public Accountants in cooperation with the Internal Revenue Service.) Between now and April 15 over sixty million Americans must file a tax return to report their 1956 income to the federal government. On the basis of past experience about contain an error of $2.00 or more. 1 out of every 4 returns filed will Last year these errors totaled over $100,000,000. To help you prepare a correct re- turn and avoid mistakes that cost you tax dollars, this newspaper is printing a series of eight articles prepared with the help of the na- tional and state organizations of certified public accountants. Today's article deals with prob- lems faced by almost anyone who has to make out a return. Later articles will give special hints on deductions you may take, particu- larly if you own a car, home or business. Use this series along with the official instruction book which comes free with your tax forms. Common Mistakes According to the results of a sampling by the Internal Revenue Service, the mistakes most often made by taxpayers fall into these four groups: (1) Incorrect listing of income. This is the main source of error, partly because of debatable ques- tions involving business income. In- dividuals make mistakes too by leaving out such items as interest on savings accounts, dividends and contest winnings, or by including items which are exempt. (2) Errors in personal deduc- tions. This category includes the deductions taken when the 10 per cent “standard deduction” is not used. Important deductions from in- come are: state and local taxes, interest paid on loans, charitable contributions, medical expenses, losses from storm, fire, flood or theft. (3) Claiming too many or too few dependents. Exemptions are allowed for the taxpayer himself and for certain persons he supports, if they fit the definitions in the instruction book. 3 (4) Faulty arithmetic. This is the cause of the fewest number of errors, but approximately 20 per cent of these arithmetical mistakes are made by the taxpayer against himself, resulting in approximately $19,000,000 in overpayment of taxes. The first thing to determine is whether you should file a return or not. Everyone whose gross income was $600 or more in 1956 must file a return by April 15, 1957. Even if your income was less than $600 you should file a return if any tax was withheld by your employer and you wish to receive a refund. In any case, if you had as much as $400 earnings from self-employment you must file a return to report those earnings for social security pur- poses. Non-Taxable Income It is important to remember that all income is not taxable. You should not include in your return any income which is listed in the official instruction book as exempt. This includes interest on state and municipal bonds, most government payments to veterans and their families, life insurance proceeds upon death, gifts and social security benefits. The tax instructions from the Internal Revenue Service con- tain a list of the types of income which should be included and those which should be omitted from your return. If You Changed Jobs Here is a special point to watch if you worked for more than one employer during 1956. You may have overpaid your social security tax. Each employer is required to withhold social security amounting to 2 percent of the first $4200 of your wages. If you worked for only one employer, this would amount to $84. However, if you worked for several employers, more than $84 might have been withheld. Check your W-2 withholding slips and see whether the total F.I.C.A. (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) is more than $84. If it is, you can claim credit for the excess in the “taxes withheld” column of your income tax form. The instruction book which comes with your tax forms gives further information. Help is also available by telephone or at offices of the Internal Revenue Service. The Rev- enue Service urges you to consult properly qualified advisor if you decide to seek outside help.
