JUST ANOTHER MEMORY
By MART LIZZIE LANE
When I put my pen down on paper tonight
I haven’t got the slightest idea what I’m going to write.
I can remember way back years ago,
When little children didn’t seem to bother so.
But now there’s so much work to. be done,
And so many things we try to shun,
Everything must be kept just right;
We hardly have tim» to pray at night
Have you ever stopper to think how sad it would be
II there were no little children to love you and me?
You have to undress them and put them to bed,
But alter they’re grown you’ll remember 'what they said.
They’ll hold to your hand until they fall asleep,
It gives them a thrill from their head to their feet.
They feel so secure when you hold them in your arms,
And you’ll remember their little faces with all of their charms.
Children and flowers the pleasure they bring,
It’s just as much pleasure as when the wedding bells ring.
They make the home gay and keep it bright,
They’re right there with you from morning until night.
But when they grow up they’ll be gone,
Then it won’t be the same any more at home.
Their rooms will be there vacant and cold.
Just another sad, memory as we watch and grow cold.
But it’s got to be understood they’ve got to leave home
And start out in this world on their very own.
They’ve got to build homes similar to a bird,
And bring up a family of little boys and girls.
Let’s remember the little children and help them along,
Jesus loves them and to Him they all belong.
Try to bring them up in the way.they should go.
And when they’ve grown older then they will know.

Taxpayers Ask IR$
V
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. The column answers questions
most frequently asked by taxpayers.
Q) I’m a full-time college
student and think I will get a
tax refund, if I don’t have to
count a $750 scholarship as
income. Is it income?
A) Scholarships are gener
ally not taxable and do not
have to be reported for tax
purposes. Since there are
many different types of schol
arships, you will want to
check with the organization
that gave you the scholarship
to see if they have informa
tion on its tax status.
Q) Why did IRS drop the
short form 1040A?
A) One important reason
was to make it easier for tax
payers to claim all the cred
its, deductions and exclusions
they were entitled to under
the tax laws. In recent years
more and more taxpayers
. have found it to their advan
tage to itemize deductions as
their income increased.
The new Form 1040 is one
basic page and actually ,calls
for just about the same in
formation that had to be en
tered on the front and back
of the old card form. Over 30
million returns will need just
the one-page Form 1040 to be
complete, while another 22
million will have to attach
only one additional schedule.
N. C. Battleship Group Chosen

-1 lost a good job on ac
count of illness. The boss
got sick of me.
Copies of the schedules
taxpayers will most likely
need were included in the tax
package mailed to some 75
million taxpayers.
Q) I got married in Decem
ber. Can my wife and I file a
joint return for 1969?
A) Yes, if you are married
on the last day of your tax
year, you can file a joint re
turn. Your wife then cannot
be claimed as a dependent on
the return of another tax
payer.
Q) Does the new tax form
make any difference in the way
a farmer handles his credit for
used on the farm?
A) No, the gas tax credit
should be claimed as it has in
the past by attaching Form
4136. The amount of credit
claimed should be entered on
line 21 of Form 1040.
Q) What is the surcharge
rate for 1969 and how do you
figure it?
A) The income tax sur
charge is 10 percent for 1969.
Tax surcharge tables are in
cluded in the tax packages
and can be found on page T

amount of surcharge based on
the amount of tax liability
and your filing status.
Remember that Schedule T,
the tax computation schedule,
will be just a worksheet for
most taxpayers and need not
be sent in with the Form 1040.
Only if the taxpayer claims a
special credit such as retire
ment income, investment or
foreign tax, or has to pay self
employment tax, should Sched
ule T be sent in with the re
turn.
Q) I rent out some land to a
farmer nearby. Do I include
the rents I receive as farm or
rental income?
A) Enter the rents you re
ceive from your land on
Schedule E, as rental income,
and attach it to your Form
1040 when you file.
Unless there is material
participation in the business
of farming, the rents you re
ceive are not considered farm
income.
Q) Are there any tax bene
fits for those 65 and over? I’ll
be able to file that way this
year.
A) Yes, there are several
benefits for those 65 years of
age and over. For example,
there is an extra S6OO exemp
tion for age, and special pro
visions covering the sale of a
personal residence.
