NUMBER lo iUBSCEIPTION $&50 PER YEAR (In Advance) Study of County Rainfall Figures The rainfall figures compiled by Miss Ruby Jenkins for the National Weather Bureau of the Department of Commerce show that although our last three months were dry that they were not the driest during the 21 years recorded. For October of 1965 there was 2.88 inches of rain whereas there was only 0.37 in. for the same period in 1944 and none whatever in that whole month for 1963, but in 1959 there was the record rainfall of 7.24 in. November 1965 had a rainfall of 0.69 in. with less rain in 1944, 1946 and 1949. The years 1962 and 1963 were records with there being 7.58 both years. December 1965 had 0.15 with even less in 1955 with only 0.11 in. but as much as 5.15 inches has fallen in December in other years. According to Miss Jenkins the average for the ten months recorded in 1965 was 2.11 inches making it a little less than the monthly average which had been 2.97 inches for the years between 1944 and 1964.

Mr. and Mrs. Estes are former residents of Rappahannock and lived in the Antissville area for many years. They have two other children, Walter Estes of Seat Pleasant, Md. and Mrs. Raymond Poe of Amissville. 'Rappahannock Panthers Down Unbeaten Turner Ashby Friday The most startling upset in basketball this season came Friday night when the Rappahannock Panthers defeated unbeaten Turner Ashby on the local court with a final score of 69-63. This was the second win in league play for the Panthers. The Rappahannock team was in'^rime condition, and although their opponents had them in height, they took the rebounds. Their perfect foul shots aided in attaining the six-point margin. Kent Henry of the Panthers had a high score of 32 points and held the opposing high scorer, R. Wampler, to 8 points. Wampler had been outstanding in District 10, Group II play with an average of 22 points per game. Turner Ashby led by a point at the end of the first quarter, but by half time Rappahannock had overcome TA and the score stood at 41-35 in the Panther’s favor. By the end of the third quarter Turner Ashby again had the Panthers by one point. Rappahannock chalked up 17 points in the final quarter as compared to 10 for TA, to push forward to victory. Other scoring of the Panthers was Melvin Atkins 11; Jimmy Latham 9; Bill Durden 8; Roger Atkins 8; C. E. Dodson 1. Average scoring of the top six of the Rappahannock team in play through Friday night stands as follows: Ronnie Pullen 14.6; Kent Henry 14.6; Bill Durden 6.6; Roger Atkins 6.3; Melvin Atkins 6.0; Jimmy Latham 4.6. Coach Dave Layman of R.C. H. S., attributed their success to spirit, careful handling of the ball and caution in the remaining few minutes of the game. With a proud grin Layman said, “The boys played the best game of the season but victory was not easy.* The Rappahannock Junior Varsity was defeated by thei Turner A§,hby eagers with the! final score 49-32. Tuesday night Rappahannock! bowed to Luray with defeat of 11 points. Final score in the game was 59for Luray against 48 for the Panthers. A run! down was not available at presstime, but Kent Henry was high man for the locals with 16 points. Named To Horticulture Society Board C. E. Johnson, Jr. of Sperryville was named to the Board of Directors of the Virginia Horticultural Society at its meeting this week in Roanoke. The major problem presently facing the fruit.growers of Virginia is the cpnfused and uncertain lab/r situation, which has arisen since the government did .away with the Mexican labor program. This program had enabled horticulturists to supplement local labor with the foreign labor. Foreign labor may be brought in under the general immigration law but this is expensive and does not provide enough man power. Historical Society To Honor Birthday of Rappahannock It is rather appropriate that the newly founded Historical Society of Rappahannock has chosen February 8 for its first annual meeting. The Society, formed a year ago December 14, has voted to honor the 133rd birthday of our County by moving up the anniversary date to correspond to that of February 8. On that date 1833 the General Assembly of Virginia approved the cutting out of Culpeper County what is now known as Rappahannock. This meeting will mark the first year for the Society. Although it did not achieve nearly the objectives it set out for itself for the first year, it can be said -that it opened many doors to new and forgotten information on early history here. To carry out the research programs already established will take many years to complete, but no one expected the work to be done in a year. Some excellent beginnings have been made to find how life was in the Indian days, and in the gradual development of the valleys by the settlers. Many interesting stories are coming to light through the study of old records, wills, artifacts, letters, and reports. A good start has been made on counting, identifying and locating on a master map all the old cemeteries under the chairmanship of Dr. William Wake. Several people are working with Mr. Tom Pit lar and George Davis to locate and identify Indian markings throughout the County. Arthur Miller found interesting material on the early Post service which will be completed in the year ahead. There is much government material on this in the Archieves yet to be checked. Mrs. William Etter has done an excellent study of the records in Culpeper, Orange and Prince William Counties on the comings and goings of the Calvert family in this area. me two earnest Calverts, John and son George were both Captains in the Revolution. They owned over 1900 acres of land in the Town of Washington and the upper valley of the Battle Run. A factual report on the Calverts, all direct descendants of Lord Calvert of Baltimore, will appear in the Annual Report which is in preparation now. Studies have been laid out for several other a r e a s of research to begin this year. The Society wants to collect as much information as is available on Industry and Commerce in the County. This will demand information about the more than 60 mills around which much commerce developed. It will also require knowledge of the development of the early road system, and the means of communication. > i _ Exploring their artistic talents In a class under the direction of Mrs. Helen Kilby, standing, are Mrs. Earl Kilby, Clarence Wagoner, Mrs. T« J. Pillar, Mrs. George Kidwell and Mrs. Janes Smith. In Tuesday’s class the group sketched an object ! and then each drawing was criticised constructively by Mrs. Kilby and the students. The Society is especially interested in the development of the Ch urches and Academies, how religion and education was provided to the jpeople. Judge Rayner Snead, as chairman, has started the collection of materials in these areas, and would be most grateful for any leads people may have on these subjects. The biggest discovery the Historical Society made during its first year is that Rappahannock County has had a far more interesting and a far richer history than most people living today realize. It will be the purpose of the approximately 200 members to work in various fields of study during the coming year to collect and coordinate the whole history still available to us. Perhaps the second most important discovery is a negative one - and a s a d one - that so much of this rich material is irretrievable, lost to us forever. So the aim of the Society is to search out what is still available and preserve it for our children, and our childrens’ children. We ask all who can to help in this worthy pursuit. Water Impoundment Studies being Made At the request of your County Agent, and others, Area Engineers of the Soil Conservation Service made preliminary surveys of water impoundment sites in certain areas of the county last Thursday. Those accompanying tWe survey party included your Commonwealth Attorney, a repre sentative of our Planning Commission, Clerk, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, County Agent and Conservationist of the Culpeper-Rappahannock SCS workunit. Additional prelirrimary surveys for possible sites in the county will be made February 11th. These surveys have been prompted due to the accute water shortage in towns and on many farms including homes. Following these surveys top ographic map studies will be made of structure site areas to determine feasibility of muF ti-purpose watershed development. By multi-purpose impoundment structures, or water shed development, flood control, water impoundment, and recreational opportunities are included. Also economic justification must be established. Findings in detail will ultimately be presented T)ntil such are made available don't let your blood pressure get up or allow your altitude to crystalize in favor or, or against a project of this nature. It may, or may not prove economically sound or practical.

Local Servicemen Meet in Korea Two Rappahannock county servicemen, both from Sperry ville, met recently in Korea, and as anyone can imagine, it was the greatest. After reading an issue of the Rappahannock News in August in which there was an account of Danny Clater leaving for Korea, Joe Cloud, who was already there, began to keep a eye open for friend In his travels, Joe found that D^finy’s outfit was not too far away and made contact with him.

CAP Requirements Outlined for Fanners Eligibility requirements for participation in the 1966 Cropland Adjustment Program have been outlined by H. S. Barksdale, Chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee. Observing that the program was designed to help farmers divert cropland from surplus production to conservation uses under long-term agreements--five to 10 years--the Chairman said that participants would receive adjustment payments calculated to replace income from the crops which would otherwise be produced on the land. Most farms are eligible to take part in the CAP. A farm fulfills the qualifying requirement if the owner or owners sign an agreement and divert at least one entire acreage allotment such as a wheat allotment or the entire feed grain base. Additional cropland may then also be diverted. In fact, once the farm qualifies _all land currently used for crops on the farm may be diverted for payment. ine program is open to farms that have been operated during the year just prior to the first year of the CAP agreement and have been under the same ownership three years before the agreement. However, there are exceptions to the three-year ownership provision. A new owner is eligible if he acquired the farm through will or succession following the death of the previous owner. Under some circumstances a farm is eligible if it was bought before January 1, 1965. A non-owner may enroll a farm if he had control of it for the three prior years and will be responsible for it during the term of the agreement. A farm is considered to have been operated during the past year if some or all of its cropland was divei*ted under the Conservation Reserve or the Cropland Conversion Program as well as if crops were planted or harvested. The local ASC Committee Chairman said that full information is available at the Rappahannock ASCS County Office located at Washington, Ve. Hours are from 8 a.m. to 5 p* tn*.

Protect Yourself and Others Following a traffic incident in the county last week in which a single-vehicle crash resulted from mechanical failure, the Rappahannock News received several calls Asking why, with our state inspection program, are vehicles in this condition still on the highway. In this case a vital part in the front end of the car had broken and it was impossible to steer, so it veered into the opposite lane and down an embankment. X. The police officer investigating the accident, considered the aspect of improper inspection, but since the vehicle was used constantly in rough terrain and additional damage resulted from the crash and subsequent removal cf the vehicle, no definite conclusion could be reached. It is true that too many car owners want a sticker rather than an inspection, and too many inspectors are willing to oblige. Until we as individuals rectify this situation under a more Watchful eye of administrators, our inspection program cannot fulfill its purpose to the ultimate. Having been in the garage, business with an inspection station some years ago, we are, perhaps, more aware of the situation than many people, and cite an incident which demonstrates our point. A car owner Went, to a garage for an inspection and when the vehicle was rejected he did not want it repaired. He refused to pay the minimum fee allowed the inspector for his time and demanded that the police be called. When the officer arrived, he found the vehicle in such deplorable condition, he would not allow it to be driven home but insisted that it be towed. However, the next day, the owner returned to the garage and purchased ten cents worth of gas to show off the rew inspection sticker acquired elsewhere. This is an isolated case, to be aurie, nevertheless a true one. Our vehicle inspection program is for our benefit — our safety and protection. Utilize it to its fullest. S.

As usual Ray was ready to give the facts to back-up reports that he had gotten one of the best bulls at the sale. 'Kingdom Elivate* bred by a General Crane of Leesburg had a 2.48 lb. Average Daily Gain, a Type Score of 15 (low Fancy) and an Index of 156. Also his sire and dam had solid records themselves. “A be ran Elivate" had records of 77 of his offspring averaging a 2.07 lb. daily gain. Type Score 13.4 and Index of 131. The dam, "Wil-Son-Cos Blackcap Rosebud" has produced 4 calves with an A.D.G. of 2.26, Type of 14.2 and average Index of 144. ************ H. L. Manwaring has been consistant in sending in forage samples for analysis as a means of economic budgeting of feeds to his livestock. A series of such analysis also serves as a valuable guide to the farmer in knowing whether or nor crops are being harvested at the most desirable stages of maturity. Mr. Manwaring's corn silage analysis shows marked improvement: 1963 -18.5% TDN, 1964 - 27.1% TDN and 1965 Silage - 29.3% TDN. Handling corn silage is not a tireless job even with better than average equipment. This winter Mr. Manwaring's men and machines will be handling but 63 pounds erf silage to every 100 pounds handled three years ago meeting total digestible nutrient requirements of his livestock. V Jim Massie's corn silage production demonstration conducted on Congaree fine sandy loam under last summers weather conditions showed an additional $8.00 worth of nitrogen gave an additional $14.00 value of ensilage @9618 plants per acre stand level and an additional $35.00 value @ a 18,922 stalks/ac stand level. Nitrogen figured at actual cost and corn silage @ $7.00/ Ton. Another demonstration on Chester loam was established with a different farmer, however this silage was harvested too green, and ahead of the date set to get an accurate measure ment, so all efforts were lost and no one benefited. Soil and forage samples literally poured in at the office last week. While no record was kept, I feel all previous records were smashed. Good - o, this is progress keep 'em coming. To me this is a real indication farmers are taking steps towards lowering production costs. ••*••••*•*** Apple Flakes Obtained For Fruit School — A. I.

Asks Help To Continue One House Yearly The ideas in the following story are reprinted from a recent issue of The Madison Eagle and may be worth considering in other areas. It might have been attributed to the Christmas spirit, except for the fact that the plan came into being many weeks ago. At that time, a small group of Madison men conceived the idea of helping a needy family with children to its feet by furnishing a small house at less than usual cost and at a price they could afford to pay. The purpose, report the sponsors, is to provide a small cottage for a needy family with five or six children with the main object of giving the children a good start and place their parents in a home they can manage to pay for. This means the house is for a working income family burdened | with too small >^n income and I perhaps too large a family. .Financing will be guaranteed, if not by a bank, then through private individuals. The cottage planned — and the first one is already iTnder construction — would* normally cost about $2500; but by using volunteer labor and with lumber and flooring furnished at wholesale orj slightly less than wholesale,! the entire cost should not exceed $1200. * Land for the first t^o cdttages already has been donated. Labor, requiring a half1 •day’s work from any volunteer (and a half day during the course of a year is all that is being asked...) with lumber furnished at a little under wholesale by the Jim Carpenter Lumber Company land flooring delivered on the 'same basis by the Madison [Flooring Company, makes this offer possible. In the house now being built, Delmar Ford and Raymond Fishback have volunteered to do the wiring. Behind this idea of lending a helping hand are the Rev. Peter Burkett, Preacher Claude C. McDaniel, Frank Tourond, and Jim Carpenter, [who call themselves the “Cottage of the Year Club”. It is their earnest hope that “with a little help here and there” they can build one such house every year so that at the end of ten years, ten Madison families will have been helped to own homes. They would like other counties to undertake a similar venture and perhaps form groups of their own. Said Carpenter, “Just think: if Orange, Greene, FEDERAL and STATE INCOME TAX SERVICE JOHN J. ZUNKA Warren Paint & Supply Company 415 East Main St. FRONT ROYAL, VIRGINIA pnd Culpeper each would build only. ope. /house a year, it would mean that between all of us a total of forty borderline families would have received that needed boost". He added that any groups interested in such a venture are invited to contact any of the Madison men regarding cit. The house now under construction is located on the Madison Bypass on a halfacre of land with a spring nearby. Outside dimensions are 12* x 40’ with four rooms within. Willing hands reported for work on Thanksgiving Day to begin this cottage, and it is hoped that the family, which has already been selected, will be able to move in by Christmas. Frank Tourond who has agreed to act as secretary for the "Cottage of the Year Club" will be glad to hear from any Madison County rest dent regarding ideas on this new project. Everyone is invited to inspect the house now under construction. Tote rond asks that inquiries be made nights by phoning 9485581. The sponsors stressed that most of the low cost depends upon enough free volunteer labor, but from the wonderful start already made, they know that willing handB are here and available. “Even more important*, they said, “we hope other communities will pick up this idea so that it will gpread and rehabilitate many other families. We know a home keeps a family together and might even keep down the welfare roles*. The men who reported for work on that first gathering, and gave up their Thanksgiving Day to work, were the Rev. Peter Burkett, Harold Woodward, Claude Woodward, Frank Tourond, Aubrey Brown; Raymond Garr, RedNicholson: Bob Garr, Raymond Fishback, and Delmar Ford. On Saturday, workers were Jim Carpenter, Floyd Yoder, Enos Shrock, Claude McDaniel, Raymond Garr, Claude Woodward, and Aubrey Brown. , A meeting of the “Cottage of the Year Club* will be held shortly, to discuss future plans and to consider any sug gestions the public might offer.

Improving Efficiency On the Farm It used to be that some land, a willingness to work, and plenty of strong backs was about all a farmer needed to do a good job. Today, however, the strong backs are hard to^oome by—and operating efficiency is assuming great importance. G. D. Kite, agricultural engineer at Virginia Tech, has some suggestions to help improve efficiency on your farm. Handle materials as little as possible, he suggests. Locate and arrange storage of feed and supplies as convenient as possible to their place of use. If they must be moved, move them short distances. Plan movement of materials from point of origin to place of use in an orderly manner to prevent unnecessary work and travel. Avoid backtracking and duplication of effort. Handle large amounts, rather than small amounts, and make every trip count! Use conveying equipment, says Kite, to move materials when economically feasible. Electrical energy is far less costly than labor. Augers and chain conveyers can move large volumes in relatively short periods of jime. Change the form of some materials to make them less bulky and easier to handle. Much progress has been made with corn, silage and hay. Concrete pavement adjacent to silage and hay racks in dairy and cattle feeding units eliminates use of bedding material. However, the manure must be removed at certain intervals throughout the feeding period. This can be done with a tractor-mounted scraper. A manure loading ramp or tractor mounted front end loader helps get manure on the spreader. Animal.shelters for resting areas can be arranged to prevent through traffic. This lessens bedding requirements and the amount of manure to be hauled. Ground level hay storage reduces equipment and labor for storing andfefcd1 lng. Feed racks provided adjacent to hay storage shortens distance for moving hay to racks. Hydraulically operated dump bodies on trucks lessen work in unloading bulk material. Silage wagons with side unloading attachment and beaters at exit end are ideal labor savers in unloading silage into the silage blower at silo or silage troughs. The engineer says using chain 0£ auger conveyers to move grain and ground feed minimizes labor considerably. Mercury switches properly placed in storage bins will automatically stop the system when bins are full. This eliminates the need for an attendant. Electric feed grinders and mixers can be installed to operate automatically according to demand in feed storage bins. An attendant is needed only to change adjustments for different rations that may be required. Kite saylL.J'When planning new facilities, careful thought should be given to every detail in selection and use of equipment, location of each building or facility relative to other elements in the system, building materials and construction methods. 'Use of general and detailed sketches and plans will enable you to arrive at the best arrangement for your farm . Errors made on paper are easily corrected. Errors made during construction and installing equipment can cause inconveniences thereafter. Changes are costly and time consuming." * From The Home Agent*i Pen By, Doris Daugherty Here is one in a series of releases on consumer education by Don Long of the agricultural economics department at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. A one cent a day health insurance plan! That sounds like a pretty good value, doesn't it? Most of us would be glad to buy something like that. Such a plan is already in operation and each of us is automatically covered. It isn’t labeled a health insurance plan but is at least a health assurance plan. It is the USDA’s Meat Inspection Service. Meat inspection is one of the biggest health bargains of the day. All meat passing into interstate commerce must, by law, be federally inspected to insure that it is good wholesome food, safe for us to eat. Specially trained inspectors are on the lookout at all times to make sure that this is done. As a result, we are assured that most of the meat in retail stores is good whole some food, Almost 85% of all animals slaughtered for meat are slaughtered under federal inspection. Over 400,000 animals a day are inspected. In addition, 65/per cent of the processed /meats have been inspected /oy federal inspectors. / Every insurance policy, even an assurance policy such as meat inspection, should have some means of identification. There ispne for meat inspection, tha^ is simple and, especially on processed meats, easy to find. This is the meat inspection stamp, a round circle saying, “U. S. Inspected and Passed". Once you see this emblem, you know that your health assurance policy is in effect. You may buy with confidence. All this health assurance comes to us at a very attractive cost. We, of course, don’t pay it directly, but there are costs involved. The USDA reports that its meat inspection service costs less than 1 cent per day per person; mostly paid for by the plants which sell inspected meats. These, of course, include it in the price of meat we buy. However, for this one cent we do get a lot of health assurance and peace of mind. We have few worries concerning safety in our meat eating. In fact, we seldom give it a thought. All in all, that 1 cent per day going for health assurance is another terrific food bargain. Hints When you buy a pesticide, be sure to check everything printed that comes with it., read the label and any folders or circulars that may be tucked into the box or tied to the can or bottle. Very often the printed material that comes with a pesticide includes the directions for using it, especially if the container is too small to run complete directions on the label. In any case, printed material that accompanies a pesticide is carefully reviewed by U. S, Department df Agriculture specialists, wnetner it oe laoei leaflets, or advertising material that’s used as part of a store display. All these items are consider ed “labeling" by USDA--and they’re checked to make sure the Information is truthful and doesn’t mislead, that directions for use are adequate, and that hazards involved in using the pesticide are pointed out prominently.

Game Wardens Salary Below National Average Top salaries for Virginia Game Wardens rank 15th from the bottom among the 50 states and are some $800 below the national average, according to John H. McLaughlin, Game Commission Law Enforcement Chief. In the 10 south| eastern states, four have higher warden pay scales than Virginia and 5 have equal or lower salaries based on the | most recent available figures, j Virginia game wardens currently have a top salary of $5,640. Two neighboring [states, Maryland and North [Carolina, have much higher warden pay scales, while Terr nessee has the same. Salaries of other Virginia State employees in roughly similar job categories are generally much high than current game warden salary scales. A 15% pay hike for Virginia’s game warden force would raise their salary scale to 27th rank from the bottom among the 50 states. Game wardens and most other Game rsv.v.-.’.-.v,v.v.v Comm ission field positions are unique tothia>organization and have not been included in recent pay increases which have been granted other state employees. Proposed salary increases along with a stepped up program of outdoor recreation facility acquisition and de-^! velopment, as recommended by the Outdoor Recreation Study Commission, have prompted the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries to request an increase in basic hunting and fishing license fees from the current $3.50 to $5.00 each. A $9.00 combination license was also recommended making the total increase for the sportsman who buys both licenses $2.00 per year. These recommended increases will be considered by the General Assembly during the session just beginning.

The organization appropriated $4,000,000 for research in 1965. This included major support for The Salk Institute for Biological Studies at San Diego, where the first permanent laboratory buildings were completed in the fall and are now being outfitted. During the year, the Founds tion’s Birth Defects Centers program continued to grow toward an eventual target total of 100. A year ago the network had 51 centers. Six more were established in July. The number of centers financed with March of Dimes funds will jump to 69 as of January 1, 1966. National Foundation chapters in 38 states awarded more than $1,000,000 in support of this center program in 1965. Ihe toll taken by birth defects of all kinds," says Basil O'Connor, president of The National Foundation, “is appal ling, and is not generally appreciated by the public." 1965 was a year in which the scope of congenital defects as a national health problem was more clearly defined than ever before. Statistical studies conduct ed by The National Foundation revealed birth defects to be the number two cause of death in this country — the next greatest “killer" after heart disease. Before and after birth they claim more lives than cancer and stroke combined. Mr. O’Connor summed up the grim statistics: -250,000 babies born defect ive every year in the U.S. alone. _ New Arrivals Mr. and Mrs. Barry Jolliffe of Viewtown are the parents of a daughter. Tamara Lynn, born January 12, 1965 in Fauquier Hospital, Warrenton.

Mrs. Williams istheformer Miss Annie Frazier of Flint Hill. - An estimated annual death toll of 560,000...including mis carriages, stillbirths and spon taneous abortions due to congenital abnormalities. - More than 15,000,000 persons in the country today with one or more defects which af feet their daily lives. - An estimated 1,375,000 de fective children under six years of age in the U.S. Stressing that birth defects kill or maim at the very beginning of life-- in contrast to the so-called “major killers" which claim their victims mostly among older persons -- Mr. O’Connor urged top priority attention to theprobt lem by health officials, doctors and the public together.

Air Force Offers Opportunities for Women Young women who enjoy and do crossword puzzles well may be missing an excellent opportunity in the Air Force, said Sergeant Russell Spaulding of the Winchester, Virginia, Air Recruiting Office. “You see”, explains the sergeant, “The ability to do crossword and other puzzles well is a good indication that a young woman would also do well, in the Field of Cryptography - and that is one ot the many Air Force career fields open to Women in the Air Force who enlist now.” Other fields open to women between the ages of 18 and 27, include finance, communications, weather and public information. The Air Force conducts thorough and complete training in these and many other interesting jobs. WAF students attending training courses also receive full pay and benefits, an offer which Sergeant Spaulding describes as “hard to match anywhere else.” Young women with a high school diploma, who are unmarried, U. S. Citizens and interested in learning more about their opportunities in “Air Force Blue” may contact Sergeant Russell Spaulding at 23 S.

Bradley Addas LR. Waters Atlantic iWfUsi Co | March of Dimes Continues Study Of Birth Defects For most of the country, 1965 was a year of bitter harvest: the thousands of defective “rubella (German measles) babies” born to women infected during their pregnancies the year before. New, unexpected and disturb ing findings about the behavior of the rubella virus and its capacity to kill or damage babies in the womb overshadowed other significant de velopments in biology and medicine related to birth defects. The year produced new evidence of the magnitude of birth defects as a cause of death and impairment in the United States. In clinical medicine, the expanding network of March of Dimes Birth Defects Centers across the country was having enormous impact, not just in providing specialized birth defects treatment that wasn’t available before, but in changing patterns of pediatric prao tice as a whole. In science, there was exci» ing progress in biochemical genetics and in manipulation of the basic code-of-life chemi cals...there were noteworthy discoveries concerning abnoF mal chromosomes...advances in understanding inborn errors in body chemistry... and Saturday jan.

Box 10025, t Richmond, Va. 2321/0. f QUESTION: Just who has fo file an Income tax reI lum? : ANSWER: Anybody under age 65 who had gross in^ come of $600 or more and resided in the United ■ States during the year must file a tax return. | Pei-sons 65 years of age and over must file if gross income amounts to $1,200 or more. The $600 reS quirement applies to minors, aliens who have inr come from U. S. sources, and U. S. citizens abroad. l Returns must be filed even when there is no tax J due. Regardless of the amount of gross Income, { self-employed persons with $400 or more net profit j must file and pay self-employment tax. ‘ QUESTION: Is it true that there is no dividend credit i on dividends received last year? ANSWER: Yes, the dividend credit provision has been t eliminated. The 1964 Revenue Act reduced the credit from 4 per cent to 2 per cent for dividends ; received fn 1964 and eliminated it entirely for 1965 dividend income. Remember, however, that the first $100 of dividend income generally is not taxable. QUESTION: My mother had to have an operation last year and I paid both the hospital and doctor bills. Can I include what I paid for her with my own medical deductions? ? ANSWER: Your mother's medical ex| ponses would be a deductible exit ponse for you provided you fur* nished over half her support last !i year. If this is the case, then you ji may deduct those medical and ij. drug expenses you paid for her f which are not reimbursed by ini' surance or by other members of jour family. If your mother Is 63 or over, these medical expenses are rot subject fo the 3 per cent income limit nor the 1 per cent limit for drugs and medicines.

He says his accountant hasn't begun work on them yet and doesn't know when they wilj be ready. Actually I can figure my withholding from the paycheck stubs I have saved. Can I use these instead of a W-2? I ANSWER: If possible, you should wait until you re. I ceive your W-2 before you file your return. Em| ployers are required by law to supply these by I January 31. With the ADP system that we arc in| stalling, income and withholding information re| ported by employees can be compared with what | employers report to us. The ability of IRS to do | this gives honest taxpayers added Insurance that I everybody is paying what they should. I QUESTION: I had to hire a teacher to take my place 1 last year when I was out sick. Can I deduct the coat of 2 this substitute when I itemize my deductions? ANSWER: Yes, this Is a deductible expense. However. if you received sick pay you cannot deduct fbe costs of the substitute teacher that are allocable to amounts excluded as sick pay. <?V.5STI0N: Arc iu,T fees considered taxable income?
