PAGE 2 THE TRIBUNAL AID astrology GUIDF Minority ^1 Boost Aug. 27-Sept. 2 Aries “The Ram’'(Mar. 21-Apr 20) You may well boast of some of your conquests they have not come easily and the moments of overwhelming pride are now well deserved. But it’s begin ning to be a little trying to some “not so fortunate” chums. ‘Nuff said. Taurus “The Bull" (Apr 21-May 21) Thinking small can keep you from success. Haven’t you, psychologically, condi tioned yourself to moving within a small circle of achievement? You will have to break that block if you are to move ahead. Gemini “The Twins” (May 22-June 21) It is hard to figure out who is fooling whom; it’s always a fairly simple process of deduc tion to figure out who is going to win out. In this game of love it has to be you, right. Gem? Cancer “The Crab” (June 22-)uly 23) The most important question: with situations being what they are in your romantic life, why take chances on long silences? Make the first move, Luv. Remember you are dealing with a Scorpion...they usually win in a battle of wits. Leo “The Lion” (July 24-Aug 23) You are caught up and fascinated by the things that have to be done. Usually you fimd the future exciting and the sky's the hmit. But you must stop playing the games other people want you to play...if you are to gain anything. Virgo “The Virgin” (/iug 24-Sept 23) Instead of wasting your time with nonsense and p»etty squabbles, try to give a little. Just because tl.iings don’t turn out exactly as you expect is no reason to go into a blue funk. After the 26th everythinjg will be settled. Libra "The Baliance” (Sept 24-Oct 23) A.ll that discontentment that is boiling up could be from a lack of imagination. You are letting a lot of opportunities slip past you, Luv. Keep your eyes open as your biggest break will come close to the 3rd of the month. Scorpio “The Scorpion” (Oct 24-Nov 22) Cool virbrations are being felt by a close friend. Don't be so quick in judging. Off with the old, on with the new is a bad policy where friends, are concerned. You leave hurt feelings in your path. Sincere apolo gies al'6! in order. Sagittai'ius “The Archer” (Nov 23-Dec 21) You are staying too close to home. Your generally courteous, agreeable manner is getting a bit edgy. Do circulcite more and get some new, fresh interests. Pay more attention to outside appearance and dress;. Make yourself important to “you.” Capricorn “The Goat” (Dec: 22-Jan 20) You are near the end of a job that has upset you for a long time. Now make plans for a better deal. You are also on the verge of making a large purchase, a car? A house? Can- derians are unlucky for you so stay clear of them, es pecially where money is ccincerned. Aquarius “Water Bear- ei.'” (Jan 21-Feb. 19) You may have a nasty fight v/ith your “love” but you’ll be back together fihortly. Don't take sides Continued on Page 6 An affirmative action plan to increase minority employment in the Cam den, New Jersey, area construction industry was imposed today by the U. S. Department of Labor. The plan, announced by Secretary of Labor Peter J. Brennan, establishes annual goals for a four-year period ending June 30, 1977 to increase utilization of minority workers in 18 crafts by contractors on federally- involved construction projects in Camden, Salem, and Gloucester counties. This is the 63rd area plan to be implemented. Fifty-seven of them have been voluntary “home town” plans approved by the Labor Department’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance (OFCC). Five plans have previously been imposed by OFCC, in the Philadelphia; Wash ington, D. C.; Atlanta; St. Louis, and San Francisco areas. Under the plans con tractors and sub-contrac tors holding contracts of more than $10,000 on a Federally-involved con struction project valued in excess of $500,000 must Continued on Page 8 Human Resources in Action in North Carolina WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22, 1973 Taxpdyef\s Ask IR& outreach This column of questions and answers on federal tax matters is provided by the local office of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and is published as a public .service to taxpayers.

Boneno Executive Director High Point Consumer Credit Counseling You have budgeted carefully and taken on only those credit obliga tions which seemed safe with your regular income. Suddenly there is a major illness in your family, a medical expense makes it impossible for you to keep up to date. Don’t panic and assume that unpaid bills can be ignored. You have other things on your mind, and it is tempting - but unwise. Don't hide by pulHng down the shades and refusing to answer the phone, this will only delay the problem. Not only your present status, but your future credit record is at stake. Don’t fib by telHng your creditors that the “check is in the mail”, this only forces him to call back, and increases his cost. Do contact your credi tors as soon as you realize your inability to carry out the contract you made with him. Tell him the exact facts. He may or may not be a natural born nice guy, but he knows that it's in his best business interest to help you. Discuss future pro spects with him so he can figure out temporary alternatives which will avoid loss, inconvience and undue hardship to you both. There are laws to protect you and non-profit corporations such as Consumer Credit Coun- sehng to assist you. So call High Point Consumer Credit Counseling, Inc. at 885-0041/885-0042 if you need assistance. At a summer camp near Southern Pines, a smiling, enthusiastic camper pre pares to go for her second horseback ride. Although many North Carolina children have similar enjoyable camp exper iences, this camper is unusual. Instead of ex changing her two legs for the horse's four during the short trail ride, she is temporarily trading her wheelchair for a different perspective atop Gypsy, a gentle palomino at Camp Easter-in-the-Pines. For here, in this beautiful natural setting of pine trees, rolling hills and spring-fed lake, handicapped children and adults are encour aged to do the unexpect ed, surprising themselves as well as their families. The camp, sponsored by the N. C. Easter Seal Society and begun in 1964, is so popular that a similar new facility. Camp Sertoma, is planned near Hanging Rock State Park. Attendance this year at Camp Easter was 340 campers throughout the five, two-week sessions, each being for a specific age group ranging from 6 to 65. Bill Kissam, director of the camp, stated that last year 35 different condi tions were served by the camp. A similat number of disabilities are repre sented this year, with cerebral palsy being the most prevalent. The trend has been to include more visually and hearing impaired campers. One of only three such camps in the nation that do not segregate disabilities. Camp Easter stresses individualized concern in program planning and living accommodations. For example, the pool has an entry ramp for wheelchairs, a large shallow area and sub merged seats along the sides. An adjustable hospital bed is located in each cabin. Equipment in the shower stalls encour ages self-help. !iSiilTCHING?

With the variety of activities offered, such as boating, fishing, pup petry, nature study and arts and crafts, a variety of interests can be met. The camp staff, coming from four nearby states, receive training at the camp consisting of one- week orientation includ ing a trip to the Lenox Baker Cerebral Palsy Hospital in Durham and coaching on what to expect from the campers. These hardworking col lege students, many of whom come back summer after summer, also parti cipate in role playing and sensitivity training. At the last session of the year ending Aug. 17, one counselor is a particular favorite, per haps due to her English accent. She is Mary Dornhorst from London, a special education student traveling all over the world, paying her own way to work with retarded children. One year she worked in Israel. She learned of Camp Easter from Robert L. Denny, executive director of the Council on Developmental Disabili ties. The Council provides the camp with several camp counselors at no cost to the camp through the PACE program, a summer work program for college students. The Continued on Page 8 Q. My garape was damaped durinjT a windstorm. I spent S20 taking photographs of the damage in order to determine the amount of my casualty loss. Can I deduct the $20? A. Yes. If you itemize de ductions the cost of photo graphs, including the pur chase of film and developing charges, for the purpose of es tablishing or computing your casualty loss deduction are deductible as a miscellaneous deduction. Do not include the $20 as part of your casualty loss. Q. I was just promoted and, as a result, I’m getting a sub stantial pay increase. I want to make estimated tax pay ments to avoid one big tax bill next year, but I’ve already missed the April and June deadlines for paying the first two installments of 1973 es- itimated income tax. What can i I do? I A. You can still file a decla ration of estimated income tax —Form 1040-ES—, but you must do so by September 17, 1973. Your estimated tax should be paid in equal in stallments on September 17, 1073, and January 15, 1974. If you tile your return and ]iay the balance due by Janu ary 31, 1974, you need not make your final estimated tax payment. The same rules ap ply to filing amended declara tions of estimated tax. Forms 1040-ES and in structions are available at any IRS office. Q. Who can represent a tax payer at an IRS audit? A. Generally, attorneys, cer tified public accountants, and individuals enrolled to prac tice before the Internal Reve nue Service may represent a taxpayer at any stage of the IRS examination-appeals process. These three stages are the audit examination, district conference and appel- late hearing. The person who prepared your return (and signed it as the preparer) if he is not otherwise eligible to practice before the IRg, may represent you only at the audit examination level. In addition, this representation may encompass only matters concerning the tax liability for the year covered by the return he prepared. Q. Is it true that a student can be exempt from income tax withholding? A. Yes. Students and other individuals are exempt from withholding if they did not owe tax last year, expect to owe none in 1973 and have filed a Withholding Exemp tion Certificate (Form W-4E) with their employers. However, if tax has already been withheld this year, the taxpayer must file a return next year to have it refunded.
