Automatic Data I ftflcessitetects | Tax Violations u... |Every Person Urged §= To Report Accurate g Amount of Income c? And Tax Liability £ —- In reply to the numerous in quiries on the effect of auto matic data processing in detect ing income tax filing violations, Harold R. AH, Chicago, District , Director issued the following - statement from Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Mortimer M. Caplin: “I would like to alert the small percentage of taxpayers - who have not fully complied j with Internal Revenue laws to the capabilities of --automatic it processing of tax returns which ”began January 1. J “The primary mission of the ■' Internal Revenue Service is to' X» encourage, facilitate and streng • then voluntary compliance with , Internal Revenue laws. Our au tomatic data processing system - will be a potent force in the ac complishment of this objective as it will greatly facilitate detec “ tion of tax reporting failures and ■•deficiencies. ( „ “As Treasury Secretary Dil . lon has stated, it is the begin ning of a new era in public tax • administration. As such it is a forward not a backward looking program. , “Some who previously failed to file returns or report all their taxable income are apparently concerned that filing of com plete and accurate current re turns will automatically bring past failures to light. “I urge every person not to let this deter him from filing his current return on time and r reporting the full amount of his income and tax liability. The - coming of ADP makes this year just about the best time for a • delinquent taxpayer to put his " Ijouse in order. • “t would like to urge every one |whose past tax failures were not JWillful to file a correct re • turn* 1 for each prior year and satisfy his tax liabilities. Civil t penalties for_ delinquency or neg • are added only ‘'if the facta, '■'arrant. However, inter est payment of 6% must be ’ made under the law. “As to those few Who may have committed tax frauds the law "provides that >a penalty of 50% may apply and criminal proceedings may be instituted. Obviously, it would be a dere liction of our duty not to in vestigate these cases. “Here the question may arise whether a taxpayer’s voluntary disclpsure of his willful viola -1 tions wfil afford immunity from criminal prosecution. I want to reaffirm our existing policy in • this regard, even true voluntary disclosure of a willful violation will not of itself guarantee pros ecution immunity. At the same time, the service will carefully consider and weigh it along with all other facts and circumstances in deciding whether or not to recommend prosecution. Volun tary ’disclosure would of course have to be made before any in vestigation has been initiated. “I wish to state again that taxpayers in overwhelming ma jority report true incomes and , pay proper taxes. I believe that ADP will give them added as surance that they are carrying only their fair share of the tax burden.” Eight Band Members participate In Clinic : Continued from Page 1.

Are You Afraid Os Death? By TERRY JONES "For as in Adam all die, even ] so in Christ all be made alive."! I Corinthians 15:22. Death is a strange and excit ing thing. Everyone thinks of it because it concerns us all. All men shall be visited by death. The Bible tells us, "It is appointed unto me once to die, but after this the judg ment.” (Hebrews 9:27). Death is often quick and sud den. Dad is home with the; children, he is sitting by the fire wit hhis family. Dad is ‘growing old, he can't do the work he once did, but he is still not an old man. The doctor says Dad has a heart condition but tonight all is safe and .sound with his happy family. Sud denly he feels a pain around his heart, he says his dinner didn’t j agree with him. Mom calls the doctor. Dad slumps in his chair. The doctor coijies and checks his cheeks that were once rosy but now are pale and cold —Dad is dead. The kind undertaker comes and the next time you see Dad he is in a satin lined casket. His hair is combed just like he always combed it. Dad looks fine. But why doesn’t he raise up and smile as he usually does 9 Dad will never raise the way he used to da in the home with the family because he is out in eternity. Yes, death is cold, strange and sudden but it must come. Doe 3 it make you shudder? If it does it should not. No, you don't want to die, neither do I or any one else because that is human instinct. If an automobile rush es at the most pious and God failed man on earth he will Jump to safety. That is human instinct. Still death , can be something | to look forward to. For a per son who has possessed Christ a the Lord of his life and his Saviour from sin, death is only the beginning of a wonderful eternity with God. It' is the be ginning of pleasures that are im possible to perceive on earth. Thomas Edison was one of the world’s greatest scientists. He was a very exact speaking man. His statements were always backed by proven facts. As he was passing from this life he was heard to whisper, “It is very beautiful over there.” As Rob ert Louis Stevenson came to his last moments of life he said, “If this is death, it is easy.” These two scholars would not have said these things unless they were true. Probably you have heard of people dying with smiles upon their faces. God created a wonderful /way for man to enter this world and He has a wonderful way for us to enter the next life With- Him. .

In Chowan River | Continued from Page I—Section 1 Terry, Surgeon General of the Public Health Service, and Frank P. Briggs, Assistant Secretary of the Interior, Mr. Bonner stated: “I have been receiving com plaints from fishermen and oth-; ers in my District that a serious pollution problem apparently ex-1 ists in the Chowan River in eastern North Carolina. These complaints are based upon con clusions concerning reduction in availability of fish in certain areas and that the fact that fish are being found dead in the traps and living fish are taken from the nets exhibiting lesions on their bodies. “There seems to be no similar infection or mortality elsewhere in the general area except for the Blackwater River, a tribu tary of the Chowan. The Black water River receives the wastes from the mill of the Union Bag- Camp Paper Corporation at i Franklin, Virginia. “Under the Water Pollution Control Act (33 USC; Sec. 486 g) the Surgeon General has the re sponsibility of initiating investi gative and corrective action when repot ts, surveys or studies ! indicate the pollution of inter ] state waters which endanger the • health or welfare of persons in j a state other than that in which the pollution originates. Accord ingly, I have written to the Sur geon General requesting that he look into the situation in the Chowan River and take appro priate action. “Obviously, in view of the al leged extensive damage to fish life, the problem is of equal concern to the Fish and Wildlife Service as it is to the Public Health Service. Therefore, I would appreciate it if you would j also look into the. matter with j a view to aiding in determining I the cause and the cure of the toxic condition that is destroy ing the life and commercial and ' sports value of fishes in the I | Chowan River. “I will greatly appreciate re- j | ceiving from you at an early I date a report indicating the ac- I tion which has been taken or | is contemplated, and the results thereof.” FOR SALE TWO SETS OF used John Deere Planters No. 2128 and fertilizer attachments in good condition.

C. 1 —' Twiddy HI Extension Work Report In Chowan] ( Chowan County, situated in the eastern section of North i Carolina, is composed of approx imately 644 farms with about 1,000 farm families and 4,415 persons living on. the farm. The Extension Service in Chowan j works with both- rural and urban families. Os the 1,000 farm families, about one-third are Negro and will be reported on separately by the Negro Extension work ers. Increased farm income, lead ership development, community development and youth were the four areas to receive major em phasis by the Extension Service in Chowan County during 1961. In our efforts this year, the following activities have been employed by your Extension workers: 2,831 farm or home visits; 2,578 office calls; 3,463 telephone calls; 387 news items published; 369 items broadcast, over radio; 8,496 bulletins dis-i tributed; 55 adult resqlt demon strations conducted; 82 training meetings held with attendance (if 1,299; 661 other meetings held or participated in with total at tendance of 16,305 and 130 meet- 1 ins held by leaders with '3,333 attending. The major problems in Agri-1 culture to be worked on in 1961 j were (1) To interest and involve more farmers in adopting im proved practices; (2) To inter est and assist farmers in me chanical peanut harvesting and curing and grain drying and storage; (3) To interest more farmers in mechanical cotton picking so that we might pro duce cotton more efficiently; and (4) To influence more farm ers to regard farming as a busi ness and employ good farm management practices, j Assisted by Extension Special ists from N.

A sheet for each com modity listing and explaining all, of the principal practices recom mended in the production of peanuts, cotton, sweet potatoes and corn was prepared and mailed or given to the respective rowers early in the year. In order that farmers might observe improved practices in action, result and method dem onstrations were conducted with approximately 50 farmers. Most, of the result demonstrations! were properly labeled so that visiting farmers could identify varieties and other characteris tics. Results of these demon strations are being mimeogi’aph ed and distributed to farmers or otherwise publicized. Seven all-practice demonstra tions were conducted on pea nuts, cotton, sweet potatoes and i corn. These involved employing | all of the practices recommend- J ed for the crop. Six variety demonstrations, were conducted on peanuts, corn,, cotton and sweet potatoes. These j showed how the different varie- j | ties performed in our county as , well as giving growers an op portunity to observe them. Fif ■ ty-one varieties of corn, six new | experimental strains of peanuts, fourteen varieties; and new strains of cotton and three va rieties of sweet potatoes were involved in this work. Ten chemical weed control demonstrations Were conducted i on peanuts, cotton, corn, sweet ' potatoes and vegetables. More efficient chemicals are being de veloped and farmers are show ing an increased interest in us ing them. Over 30 other dem onstrations were conducted on ' seed inoculation, seed treatment, certified seed production, tree pruning, mechanical harvesting | and curing of peanuts, and building conversion for peanut curing. During the peanut harvest, follow-up visits were made to I several peanut curing facilities checking on curing in an effort i to enable operators to produce a | desirable product. , The Chowan County Chamber of Commerce sponsored a 3,000 Pound Peanut Clup in 1961. Twenty-six growers were award ed certificates for eaching and/or exceeding this goal, j (Continued Next Week) Honor Students At Local High School | Continued from Page 1, Section 1 ton, Dianthia Sexton, Yvonne Stillman, Martha Vaughan, Viv ian Whiteman and Becky Willi ford.
