Law Means Lower Taxes For Many article is based on material supplied by Ajnerlcan Institute of Accountants, na- ‘*^1 professional society of certified public ^'“antants.)

Others must be dug out of the fine print. That’s why it is particularly important this year not to wait till the last minute, but to begin your tax re turns early. That’s why, too, the American Insti tute of Accountants presents this ex planation of some of the more import ant changes and how they will affect the typical employee. Most people won’t want to read aU 929 pages of the new law to know what to expect! That “Baby Sitter” Deduction Bill and Alice Anderson think they know about the deduction of baby sit ter pay. They hired a sitter when they went to the movies . . . and they’re in for a shock. The deduction is permitted only for actual exxpenses up to $600 for the care of dependents while a mother, widower, divorced or legally separated person is gainfully employed. But the broad meaning of that word “dependent” will help many. Expenses for care of a child under 12 years who is the taxpayer’s son, daughter, step son or stepdaughter, or other depend ent mentally or physically incapable of caring for himself, are deductible.

Building alterations have been made, including a penthouse to accomodate the height of the J-box. The extra equipment was needed be cause of increased operations at the Towel Mill where the weave room now is virtually a three-shift operation. Ef ficiency of the bleachery will be im- improved since it will no longer be necessary to run bleached goods through the range twice. J. D. Moore, Towel Mill manager, said “This installation will give us a continuous, single-stage bleaching range. Operations will be streamlined since all of our white goods will go through the range only once.” In another modernization project, previously announced, a part of the finishing operations at the Finishing Mill in Spray were converted to the use of natural gas heating February 28. Equipment is being installed to extend the use of gas to other proces ses with another change-over due to be made March 14. Local Social Security Service Being Improved An increase in local service for the Tri-City area has been announced by W. L. O’Brien, district manager for Social Security. A representative of the Greensboro office will be at the Leaksville town hall driver’s license room from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. every Thursday. This is a doubling of service, Mr. O’Brien said, due to the great number of people who have questions about their benefits under the Social Security Act. At the same time, Mr. O’Brien point ed out that visits to the Draper and Spray post offices have been discon tinued. Persons of those towns will meet the representative at the Leaks ville town hall. The change was necessary because the number of persons coming into the post offices was getting too large to be handled conveniently at those locations. The new arrangement will enable the Social Security office to give better service to all concerned, Mr. O’Brien said.
