IT'S INCOME TAX TIME
CRbtNSBORO Almost
3.4 million North Carolinians
will receive their 1984 Federal
tax form packages during the
wedk of December 26. 1984.
the Internal Revenue Service
has announced.
?ach recipient will receive
the type of form he or she
Tiled last year, the IRS said.
However, filing a different
form may be beneficial due to
I some changes.
For instance, the 1040A.
called the short form, allows
i the taxpayer to claim certain
adjustments, credits, and de
? ductions formerly required to
i be filed with the 1040 long
; form. A taxpayer may file the
I040A and still claim the
Individual Retirement Ac
count adjustment, the deduc
rtion for a married couple with
? ? - - *. m
I wo wage earners. I he lax
credit for child or dependent
care, and also the deduction
for up to 20% of the first $300
of contributions to qualified
organizations. Deductions for
other expenses must be
claimed on Schedule A. filed
with the 1040.
William Lovelace. Chief of
the Taxpayer Service Division
said. "Last year, about
675.000 North Carolina tax
payers filed the 1040A."
The Federal tax package
has two sets of the basic forms -
and schedules so the taxpayer
may use one to compute the
tax and keep the other for
mailing in. The I040A and
I040EZ forms are contained
in the same package, the IRS
said.

Roanoke holiday compared to parly
UMC Heel Infix
CHAPEL HILL - When the
ROanoke Island colonists cele
brated the first Christmas in
North Carolina 400 years ago. the
festivity probably resembled a
modern office party mord than a
religious observance.
Although little information ex
ists on Roanoke Christmases, the
colonists probably passed the holi
day season as they did in Elizabe
than England, with plenty of
feasting, drinking and dancing,
said William Powell, a North
Carolina history expert and pro
fessor at the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill
"It's not unreasonable to as
sume that Christmas customs,
like any other customs, would
have been maintained," Powell
said. "The colonists would have
done the kinds of things they had
done at home if they had the
resources."
Yuletide celebrations in Eliza
bethan England were elaborate,
with people dressing up, wearing
costumes, parading, feasting and
dancing, Powell said.
The English celebrated the 12
days of Christmas. They elected a
Lord of Misrule, who decreed
outrageous laws and led the peo
ple to church dancing all the way.
Wassail cups overflowed and fire
works lit the skies.
? The season was expensive for
the gentry, who bought massive
quantities of food and fancy
clothes, such as silk hats and
large ruffled collars. For exam
ple, one nobleman served 118
rabbits, 12 sheep and 441 gallons
of beer to guests during one week.
Gambling was a favorite Christ
mas activity. Often the stakes
were high. One unlucky gambler
lost 800 pounds sterling during the
holiday.
Some religious reformers, such
as the Puritans, protested that the
Elizabethan celebrations did not
maintain the religious spirit of
Christmas. Their complaints were
ignored. Powell said.
While Elizabethan Christmas
customs did not focus on religious
devotion as much as the Puritans
would have liked, the holiday
season did provide a release from
social tensions and boosted com
munity spirit. The upper classes
shared with the impoverished.
"It was an occasion of giving
gifts to the poor," Powell said. "It
wasn't all for themselves."
Ordinary workers, such as
farmers, craftsmen and appren
tices, were allowed to go to
unlicensed houses for drinking
during the holidays. There they
could play all of the games that
were usually illegal for their
class, such as tennis and cards.
Although Roanoke colonists
probably tried to replicate an
Elizabethan Christmas in North
Carolina, some of the customs
would have changed.
"They wouldn't have had the
ingredients to make the fine foods
that they did in England," Powell
said. "They would have killed
deer, squirrels and rabbits in
stead."
Colonists also probably invited
native Americans to their celebra
tions, Powell said. '
"1 would guess that the people
at Roanoke Island would have had
the Indians present because
Thomas Harriot would have been
interested in getting the Indians to
convert to the Anglican faith, and
Christmas was a religious occa
sion."
Some of North Carolina's 19th
century Christmas custom resem
bled the traditions of Elizabethan
England.

MIGRAINE
HEADACHES
... With Dr. Harvey C. Schultz, Jr. D.C.
Question: When is a headache
really a headache?
Answer: When it's a migraine
. . . which is os severe a "Head
ache" as any health problem can
be.
"Just exactly what is a migraine
headache?"
This frequently asked question
was put to Dr. Harvey C. Schultz,
Jr. D.C., of the Schultz Chiroprac
tic Center, to better identify the
relationship of the migraine to
other types of headaches.
"Before I answer the question,"
says Dr. Schultz, "let me say that
we Doctors make a mistake too
often of using names or 'labels'
of serious conditions without ex
plaining them. Just because a
person may not know the name
of his problem, that doesn't mean
he isn't experiencing pain and
discomfort."
According to Dr. Schultz, mi
graine is the most cruel type of
headache.
Let me describe a typical mi
graine attack," he says. "It can
start with a heavy feeling over
the eyes. The individual generally
becomes depressed with the
thought of going through another
bout with migraine.
The pain begins at the base
of the skull and rodiates or
?
throbs, to one or both sides of
the head. Some senses become
extra acute . . . for instance loud
noises seem painfully louder. The
least jarring or stoopifft) aggra
vates the pain. Black spots or
flashes or zig-zag lights come be
fore the eyes, Often there is vom
iting."
DOCTOR OF CHIROPRACTIC
What Dr. Schultz has just de
scribed is a typical migraine at
tack. At the first stages of the
migraine condition, the symptoms
may be less severe. But left un
treated they will most surely in
tensify and in many cases become
a lifetime of sheer agony.
What causes a migraine?
"Nerve pressure at the base of
the skull is the first cause," says
Dr. Schultz. "Technically, mid-dor
sal nerve pressure impairs the
tone* of the pyloric valve, dimin
ishing the efficiency of digestion.
Bile entering the stomach be
comes difficult to dispel. The low
er pelvic organs may produce low
back nerve pressures." ? -
Modern Chiropractic, such as
that practiced by Dr. Schultz, is
known to bo most successful in
tha treatment of migraine hood
aches. Pain pills and heodache
remedies only offer temporary
relief, if any relief at all.
