ENERGY QUIZ
An uninsulated house will require about twice as
much energy (electricity, oil, gas) to heat as a well
insulated house.
Correct. Experts say that a four-inch layer of
insulation will lower fuel costs by as much as 15 percent.
Put up storm windows in the fall, take them down in
the spring.
Wrong, ir you want to cut your air-conditioning costs.
The dead air space between the storm and the regular
window is a good insulator and helps keep the house
cool in summer.
You can save on fuel costs by turning down the
furnace 10 or 15 degrees and using a portable electric
heater.
Wrong. Electric heaters use up costly energy.
Lower the thermostat 15 degrees at night to save fuel.
Wrong. Lower it no more than 5-10 degrees, or you’ll
use extra fuel in bringing it back to normal in the
morning.
An open damper on your fireplace permits 20 percent
of the heated air in the house to escape up the chimney
every hour.
Right. Keep the damper closed when the fireplace is
not in use.
When you leave a room for a few minutes, don’t
bother to turn off the light, because whenever a bulb is
turned on it uses a surge of excess power.
Wrong. No excess energy is used when a bulb is turned
on.
Wattage indicates the amount of bulb light.
Wrong. Wattage measures the energy the bulb uses.
The amount of light is measured in lumens.
A 40-watt fluorescent bulb gives more light than a
100-watt incandescent bulb.
Right. And it lasts about 10 times longer.
The filter of your furnace should be checked and
cleaned at the beginning of winter.
Wrong. Not if you want it to run efficiently. It should
be checked at least once a month to get the most out of
the fuel.

This column of questions and answers on fetJeral
tax matters is provided by the local 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. I have a joint bank ac-
count with my son. Are we each
taxed on one-half of the inter
est received?
A. No. You are taxed on the
interest in proportion to the
amount you each contributed
to the joint account. For exam
ple, if you contributed all the
money in the account, you
would be taxed on all of the
interest.
Q. My mother lives with us.
Her income consists of tax-free
social security benefits and a
small pension. Gan I claim her
as a dependent?
A. Yes. In general, you can
claim your mother as a de
pendent if she had gross in
come of less than $750 (tax-
exempt income, such as social
security benefits, is not includ
ed in the $750 gross income
test) and you furnished more
than half of her total support.
For more information, see IRS
Publication 501, “Your Exemp
tions and Exemptions for De
pendents.” It’s available free
from your IRS office.
Q. After receiving $10,000 un
der an educational loan pro
gram to go to medical school,
I agreed to practice medicine
for five years in rural areas of
the state. As a result, each year
one-fifth of the loan is can
celled. Am I taxed on this
amount?
A. Yes. If any part of the
loan is cancelled in a particu
lar year, that amount must be
reported as income for the
year.
Q. I work as a waiter. Du
all my tips have to be reported
to my employer?
A. No. If you receive less
than $20 in tips in the course
of your work for one employer
during the month, you are not
required to report that aniount
to that employer, but you may
do so if you wish. However,
you must include this amount
in income on your tax return.
If you receive tips of $20 or
more in a month while work
ing for any one employer, you
must report the total amount
of those tips to that employer
on or before the 10th day of
the following month. This can
be done on IRS Form 4070,
"Employee’s Report on Tips,"
available from any IRS office.
Shaw Celebrates
Founding
a “Type A” lunch daily. A
“Type A” meal consists of
a minimum of one-half pint
whole milk; two ounces
lean meat, poultry, fish or
meat substitute; three-
fourths cup serving of two
or more fruits or veget
ables; one slice whole
grain enriched bread; and
one teaspoon butter or
fortified margarine.
According to Eaton, a)l
school lunches are subsi
dized 11 cents per lunch
with federal funds. Also,
each school is guaranteed
value-donated foods of at
least 10 cents per lunch or
cash in lieu of donated
foods, thereby making each
“Type A” lunch being
subsidized 21 cents per
meal.
The “opportunity” to
participate in the reduced
price lunch program is not a
matter of pride. Eaton
emphasized, nor is it a
matter of charity. It is an
opportunity to purchase
nutritious school lunches at
lower prices. Families can
then use lunch savings for
other purposes.

RALEIGH - Dr. Edwin
Sexton, Jr., Special Assis
tant to the Director of
Minority Affairs for the
U.S. Chamber of Com
merce told Shaw University
students that “hard work
alone is not enough to
guarantee success. The
country is full of people
who have worked hard most
of their lives and have
nothing.”
Dr. Sexton’s remarks
came at the annual
Founder’s Day Convocation
at Shaw University on
Friday.
Sexton said that the real
world could be difficult or
easy depending on a
person’s thinking, “A man
or woman’s thoughts make
or break them.”
A long time Republican,
and former high ranking
official on the National
Republican Committee,
Sexton urged the audience
to show “absolute honesty’
in their dealings and
“charity to the old and
incapacitated.” “Service to
others brings more satisfac
tion than service to self.”
Sexton, a former Kansas
City state senator received
an honorary doctor of laws
degree at the University
service to mark Shaw’s
109th birthday. Shaw
University President Dr. J,
Archie Hargraves in con
ferring the degree cited
“meritorious service to
humanity”
