Having , visited Moscow and Leningrad the delegation left for Uzbekistan-one of the fif teen Soviet republics. Prior to the Great October Sovialist Revolution of 1917, Uzbekistan's population was almost 100 per cent illiterate. Today 3.5. million children study in 9,000 secondary schools. (The epubic has a population of 12.9 million). After visiting a school in Tashkent, the capital of Uz bekistan, Carlton Goodlett, head of the delegation said, "For the first Ume we have seen national education in action and we are delighted with it." He stressed that the Afro-American pubishers arrived in Uzbekistan specificaHy to view the Soviet successes, scored by the people of the former colonial region of tsarist Russia. The delegation members, Goodlett said, were particularly impressed by the fact that children, receiving a well-rounded education, are brought up not only in the spirit oi national priae, uui aiau in urc spirit of internationalism. Having gone sightseeing in the city and having met the residents of Tashkent, the guest from the United States visited the Malek (tsar of the steppes) State Farm in the Hungry steppe. The head of the delegation said (hat they were particularly interested in visiting the farm because they had long wanted to study the activities and the structure of a Soviet farm The Malek farm was set up a year after the end of the Second World War in the Hungry steppe, which was then an unirrigated, desert area. Over the decades the Soviet State has earmarked huge funds to develop the Ungry steppe; today it is a blossoming land The farm is multibranched, but cotton is its main crop.

Photographer by:D.LInman With A Jtei mmm iaaiBBBBBBBBBfc mm Inman Publications W1MEN on Wheels HELPFUL SAFETY TIPS by Elizabeth Stimley Plymouth Safety Writer 9 ARE TIPS The salesman was amazed when I told him the exact size and type of new tires I wanted. He thought women only knew when it was time to buy gas. If I had told him that I also knew when to rotate the tires and how to read the tire wear gauge indica tor, he would have probably gone into shock. Deciding what type of tire to buy for the car is like deciding what to wear. You won't wear sneakers with a cocktail dress. And you shouldn't mix the types of tires (cross bias, bias belted, radial). Most manufacturers recom mend that you buy the same type of tire that came with the ear. However, a reputable dealer will be able to recom mend other types such as t adials, if your driving routine demands them. The owner's manual is still the best reference source for In formation on tire buying and care. But there are simple tests you can give the tires periodically. Such as checking the tires for uneven wear before driving. This will indicate whether the tires are in balance or if you need an alignment job. Every third gas stop, check the tires' air pressure. Kicking the tires is as undefendable as thumping a watermelon. Remember, your car rides on only four small patches of rub ber in contact with the road, so give them the care they need and deserve. This column of questions and answers on federal tax matters is provided by the focal office of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and is published as a public service to taxpayers. The column answers questions most frequently asked by taxpayers. Q. My daughter was married in August Can I still claim her a a dependent for 197ST ; A. Yes, under the following circumstances: 1) if she does not file a joint return with her husband for 1973; 2) if you furnish more than one-half of her total support for 1978; and 8) if she has gross income of less than 8760 for the year. The 8750 rule doesn't apply if she is under 19 at the end of the year or a full-time student during some part of each of five months of 1973. Q- Next January, I plan to give my nephew a new ear as a wedding rift. The car is valued at more than $3,000. and I know I'll have to file a federal gift tax return. If I make the gift in January, will I have a whole year before I have to file a return? A. No. A federal gift tax re turn (Form 709) is due by the 15th day of the second month following the close of the cal- endar quarter in which a gift is made. Thus, in the case of a gift made in January, Febru ary or March of 1974, a return is due by May 15, 1974. Q. Are there any limits on how much interest I can deduct on a loan to purchase investment property? A. Yes, but the limitation generally would not affect the average taxpayer. For tax years beginning after 1971, there is a limit of 825,000 (812,500 for married persons filing separate returns) on the deduction of interest paid on a loan to purchase or carry property held for investment For more details, see IRS Pub lication 550, "Tax Information on Investment Income and Ex penses." It's available free from your nearest Internal Revenue office. Q. I'm a building contractor. I gave my teen-age son a Ham mer Job as a laborer. Can I deduct the wages i paid him as Crossword Puzzle expense? A. Reasonable wages paid by a father to his minor child for personal services actually ren dered as a bona fide employee the course of a trade or business are deductible as a business expense. Wages paid to a child under 21 employed by a parent are subject to in come tax withholding but not social security or federal un employment taxes. Q) Can you deduct contribu tions to foreign charities? A) No. However, you may deduct contributions to a U.S. organization that transfers funds to a charitable foreign organization if the U.S. orga nization controls the use oi me funds or if the foreign charity is merely an administrative arm of the U.S. organization. Also, contributions made di rectly to certain Canadian char ities are deductible. The orga nization itself can tell you whether it qualifies. Q) Can a foster child qualify as a dependent? A) Yes. A foster child may mmiifv as vour dependent u ' ; . .- . . vour home is his principal resi dence. he is a member of your household for the entire year and the other dependency tests n met. including your tur nishing more than hall oi uie child's total support. Get Car Ready For Trip When planning a vacation trip by car, the first thing to consider is getting your ve hicle in top condition. Sustained high speed driv ing on freeways places dif ferent demands on the car than does running errands around town. A little prepa ration will pay dividends in pleasure. Plymouth engineers suggest the following: Never start a long trip with badly wjrn tires. If you can't afford; fet$i 'I T&4ft tfflt tires at the pressure specified in' the operator's manual or on the side wall of the tires; be sure they are balanced and that the wheels are properly aligned. Get the headlights adjusted to provide maximum "down the road" visibility for turn pike driving, and be sure that all other lights are working properly. REAL ESTATE TAXES TOO HIGH?

It was the Wing Bible, a contemporary, modern version of the scrip ture that reads "a lot like your daily newspaper." ac cording to one reviewer. The New Testament of the l-tving Bible has now been published in an edition espe cially for the Black reader in a volume called Soul Food. It Is a vinylized paperback edition, generously illustrated with actual "today style" photographs, and is available nearly anywhere books are sold at $1.95 per copy. The popularity of the Liv ing Bible and its understand able style of paraphrasing the scriptures has been proven by sales ot over U million copies since publication. The pub lisher, Tyndale House of Wheaton, Illinois, is currently shipping over 12-thousand copies of the Living Bible per day, to book retailers through out the nation. "Publishers Weekly" magazine, the baro meter of the publishing in dustry, rated the Living Bible as the best-selling book of 1972 in the non-fiction cate gory. I he hook outsold tne fiction best seller, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, during 1972. It is the New Testament of this same best selling Living Bible that comprises the text of the recently nublished boul Food, Each different book in the New Testament is pre ceeded with a brief example of how the theme of that book relates to life in today's world by Twentieth Century people. In addition to the in troduction, there are pictures at the first of each chapter of Hack people in actual lite situations that illustrate ideas and thoughts in the f, lowing book of the Bible.
