The preceding passage is the un- " derstatement of the year. ¢ Last Friday's precipitation . of white flakes presented some trans- portation problems in getting to §chool. Many buses, slowed down by the treacherous weather, arrived at ‘school a little late, but safely. _ Although snow and ice somewhat Samper many activities, we'll all agree that it makes for some beau- tiful scenery throughout the sur- founding countryside. Only ‘in the country can we enjoy the real beau- ty of winter's wonderland. Young- sters are ‘having a ball” ice-skating, - tobogganing, sledding, skiing, etc. fore so this year than for a good many past years. © “Motorists,” be mindful of the youngsters who sled or enjoy winter sports near the roads. : Hall-Way Hop ” Whew! The mid-year examina- fois are over, along with the cram- we and diligent studying. Regular morning classes were held ~ each day this week and exams were : given from 1:45 to 2:30.

Life Reviewed The last rites of Benjamin Frank- lin” were held at Westmoreland last Friday afternoon. The solemn pro- ceedings began with the procession of the deceased’s friends and rela- tives onto the stage. One by one Benjamin’s friends rese and told the congregation of the many sides of Franklin's genius—his service to his country as a diplomat and states- man, his ingenuity as a scientist and inventor, his words of wisdom, which flowed from a prolific pen. The mourners and the minister were portrayed by members of the 10-3 history class conducted by Mrs. Louise Prothero.

Will all Girl Scouts in the Back Mountain area have money to go to camp this next summer? In Feb- uary the Girl Scouts will be selling cookies for this privilege. The Cookies Sale is a Council-wide project and is the only big event the ‘Council holds each year. It will be of interest to all adults FRIDAY, JANUAKY 23, 1959 to know that the profit from this sale is divided between the troops and the Council and the money is used to promote outdoor programs as; troop camping, day camping, and Onawanda camping. Not one cent of monies received from the United Fund goes toward camp expenses. Girl Scout camps are supported by the “GIRL SCOUT COOKIE SALE” so let us all get behind the girls when they call at the home next month. Mrs. Richard Rottier is a com- parative new comer to the Back Mountain area but is not a new comer to Girl Scouting. Mrs. Rottier is leader of Troop 147 of Gate of Heaven Church. Despite her home duties, she finds time for many extra community activities and neighborhood kind- nesses. Under her leadership Troop 147 has made many field trips, visiting the Veterans’ building, Natona Mills and when the weather breaks, sev- eral more are on the agenda. On election. day Senator Flack visited the Troop and gave it lit- erature for “Conservation Badge” as well as presenting the Troop with a | picture of Independence Hall. | Recently Mrs. John Blase gave the troop a demonstration and instruct- ions in First Aid.

Things Happening In This Our 70th Year he Dallas Post at WATCH FOR ANNOUNCEMENT OF SPECIAL EVENT IN JAN. 30 ISSUE TAX FACTS #1 Selecting The Proper Tax Form (This is one of a series of articles on federal income taz filing. The articles are based on information provided by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Pennsylvania Society of Certified Public Accountants, in cooperation with the Internal Revenue Service.) IF you are one of the millions of American taxpayers who spends the lion's share of his income feeding, clothing, housing and entertaining his family, chances are there is very little you can do to reduce your 1958 federal income tax bill — but you owe it to yourself to try. First of all, decide which of the _ two individual tax forms you are going to use to report your in- come. If you choose the wrong one, you may automatically cut yourself off from a possible tax savings. The easiest way to file is to use the simple 1040-A Form. It's a card the size of a check, on which you answer a few simple ques- tions and have the choice of either computing your own tax or lettirig the Government do it for you. You are permitted to use the card form if your gross income consisted only of wages, divi- dends or interest totaling less than $10,000, and if you did not have more than $200 of gross income apart from that listed on your W-2 withholding slips. Facts to Consider Before deciding to use the card Form 1040-A, you should consider these facts: 1. Your tax will be figured from a table which allows you a deduction of about 10 per cent of your income instead of item- .ized deductions for contributions, taxes, interest paid, medical and dental expenses, etc. 2. There is no provision in this form for filing as the “head of household”, as a “surviving spouse” ‘or for claiming special credits for dividends and retire- ment income. If you are sure that these two points would not cost you any tax savings, and your income is within the limits for filing a Form 1040-A, you might as well use this simple card form. Whether to Itemize ‘When you elect to use the reg- ular Form 1040, you still must decide whether to itemize deduc- tions or take the standard deduc- tion which usually amounts to about 10 per cent of your income. or $1,000, whichever is less. Gen- erally, you will save by itemiz- ing deductions if you: (1) Own real estate (2) Had unusual medical ex- penses (3) Had deductible child-care expense (4) Suffered losses from fire, storm, accident or theft (5) Made fairly large charit- able contributions If you are supporting a de- pendent, although you are un- married, you may be able to qualify as a “head of household” and figure your tax on a special table that gives you part of the advantage enjoyed by married couples filing joint returns. You may qualify for a “head of household” status if you pro- vide more than half the support of a parent.and more than half the const of maintaining the par- ent’s household even if the par- ent does not live with you. You cannot claim a “head of house- hold” status if you file a Form 1040-A. The 1040 Form is arranged again this year so that a tax- payer whose income was entirely from wages needs to use only the first one or two pages. Pages three and four are for other types of income and for comput- ing the special credits for divi- dends and retirement income. The instructions which come with your tax forms give further information on how to select the correct tax form. Help is also available from the Internal Rev- enue Service. ing County. Revenue from Christmas seals, she says, is used not only for care for the actively ill, but for research to determine ways of combatting a disease which is threatening a come- back. Mrs. Loveland thanks all who coperated in the collection. Treasure Table Items May Be Left At Dixon's Members of Dallas Women’s Club may leave constributions to the Treasure table at Dixon's Restaurant in Dallas instead of taking them down to the Value Shop in Bhaver- town, if they desire. Mrs. Vern Groff and Mrs. Herman Thomas report that not only cos- tume jewelry, but bedspreads and luncheon cloths are in demand, also small gadgets and ash-trays. The depository at Dixon’s will be in op- eration until January 81, the day of the annual sale at the Value Bhop. Shavertown Couple Break Bones In Falls On Ice Mrs. Emanuel Mendelsohn, Shav- ertown, broke her leg a week after her husband broke his arm. Slipping on the ice on the steep hill connect- ing Pioneer Avenue with the main highway at the traffic light, Mrs. Mendelsohn fell twice Friday morn- ing, snapping a bone above the ankle. Wearing tight boots, she made it back up the hill to her home. The following morning she was taken to Nesbitt Memorial Hos- pital for application of a cast. Grove Armstrong, pastor of the Trucksville Free Methodist Church which =the Mendelsohns attend, brought both husband and wife home from Nesbitt Saturday after- noon, and arranged with Mrs. Rob- ert Bodycomb, chairman: of wheel- chairs for Dallas Senior Woman's Club, to furnish a wheel chair for Mrs. Mendelsohn. Mr. Mendelsohn is a Linear em- ployee, formerly residing in Phila- delphia. Read The Post Classified TTT lf someone you know iS moving...
