Thursday, May 5, 1983 Accumulating That Extra Cash ■ f RALElGH—Sometimes it seems we work just to pay our I>ills, and there’s never enough money left over to have a little fun. But by plan ning abend, spending careful ly and budgeting where every goes, it’s possible to Jxiild up enough extra cash to enjoy that occasional day on “the town, notes the N.C. Association of CPAs. Look out for every angle - you can use to help cut leisure costs down. Consider combin ‘ ing a day’s pleasure trip with something that is tax deduc tible. Also shop around for discounts on tickets and ' transportation. Leisure ex penses really add up, especially if you like to do ' something impulsive, like go ing on an unplanned shopping trip to the antique show. Besides the basic cost of ad mission, you also have to pay ' for gasoline and parking and . perhaps highway tolls. Then there’s lunch or dinner, perhaps a program or , souvenirs, a snack or drink tile list can go on and on until , your pockets are empty, f However, if you do a little financial homework and ap v ply some business-like spen- i 1 ding rules, you’ll be able to V reduce costs and enjoy your 2, day without worrying about . money, CPAs say. U, One way to save is to com f bine your day’s entertain ment with a slide trip that f could qualify as a tax deduc • tion. For example, if you have ‘ to go into town for a routine - checkup with your doctor, » your travel costs are part of ! your medical deduction. If you plan your appointment early id the morning, you can spend the rest of the day "entertaining yourself. The same principle applies to a volunteer activity-travel ex ’ penses may be deductible. If you are in business, you may also get a tax break on what you spend to take a client out to lunch or to a sports event or show. Main . taining good will with clients is a legitimate, and deducti ble, business expense, and pllows you to be entertained as well. If such tax savings don’t ef ‘ feet you, be on the lookout for price discounts on entertain ment and travel. For exam ple, you may not go to the theatre or ball games as often as you would like because the single ticket price is just too SEWING MACHINE REPAIR Take Your Machine To JAY’S CLOTHING 1111 N.

Naturally, season tickets cost less per event, but you may not wttot to lay out that much cash at once and risk being left with unused tickets. However, the savings could be sizable enough to make it worthwhile, or you could buy tickets cooperatively with two or three other people to reduce your cost. Ticket subscribers are often granted reduced rates on parking, as well. Package deals offered by many bus and tour operators may also afford some relief to your budget. Most planned trips include round-trip bus fare, admission to an event, and sometimes a guided tour and a meal. In addition, extra discounts are often slowed for children or families traveling New Books Are Received New books received at the ShepaTd-Pruden Memorial Library are: Adult Fiction “A Little Local Murder”, by Robert Barnard; “Something Wicked This Way Comes”, by Ray Bardbury; “One Dollar Death”, by Richard Barth; “Killdeer Mountain”, by Dee A.

Avoiding Mai Order Swindlers Most mail-order businesses are honest, but Postmaster James Bond offers you this advice on how to avoid swindlers who take your money and give you disap pointment in return: • Be wary of what seems to be an exaggerated claim or a price that seems unusually low. • Don’t be rushed. Avoid of fers that claim to be a last chance to get a bargain, “one day only” or for “cash only.” • Keep a copy of the adver tisment from which you are ordering. If you have doubts, check with the Postal Inspec tion Service, the Better Business Bureau or some other local or state consumer agency. The term pekoe, in refer ence to tea, refers only to the size of tea leaf—not to a variety or type. 0 Never send cash. Use a check, money order or credit card because, if necessary, these can be traced through some banking system. • Keep a record of the date of your order and the number of the check, if you pay by check. Retain the canceled check when it is returned to you. Heating Lie. No. 9953 Refrig, Lie.

Times in 1954, as “the most glorious of the Rodgers and Hammers tein works,” will be presented at the John A. Holmes Auditorium on May 19,20, and 21. “Carousel” is the musical play about the swaggering amusement-park barker who marries a gentle girl, makes an attempt at robbery, com mits suicide when trapped by police and then returns to earth to see his daughter and whisper affectionate words long unspoken to his wife. It was the first musical written by the notable team of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein, 2nd, following their epoch-making success of “Oklahoma!” and, like that exhilarating hit, it scored a stunning success when first produced in New York in 1945. When it was revived in New York in 1954, it was declared by all critics as being even more enchanting than they had first considered it, many commenting, as the Times critic, that “Carousel” was better than such subsequent ly produced shows as “South Pacific” and “The King and I” by the same team. The moving and melodious songs, noted one critic, had “improved with familiarity, since time is needed for fine music to penetrate into our bloodstream,” These songs range from the tenderness of “When the Children Are Asleep” and “What’s the Use of Wonderin’,” to the rousing choruses of “June is Bustin’ Out All Over” and “This Was a Real Nice Clambake,” to the comic gaiety of “When I Marry Mr. Snow,” to the River Spree, May 21-22 River Spree weekend in Elizabeth City, May 21-22, is near and it’s time to get in volved in your favorite River Spree event. This year’s new event is for the powerful, the macho and macha, it’s the Lite Beer Tug-of-War an event to resolve the eternal argument about Lite Beer “less filling” or “taste great.” Team may have up to ten members, and have a total team weight of 2,000 pounds. Teams may join either the “Less Filling” (red) team or “Great Taste” (blue) team. JOHN DOWD I & ASSOCIATES, INC.
