Charlotte native Gerald Wallace (left front) opens a casual classroom of learning for.his students at Proviso West High School. Wallace Possesses Special Rapport With Students To possess that special student rapport is the dream of every conscien tious teacher. For Gerald Wallace, a Charlotte native, that particular thirst has been quenched. Too bad Charlotte’s school system couldn't zap Wallace. After he com pleted his BA degree in French from Johnson C. Smith University (grad uating Cum Laude in 1974) he traveled to Purdue Uni versity along with 11 others for a Master's program in French. Out of the 12 only Wallace and two others complete the rigorous curriculum. He was offered a position at Purdue but opted to teach at Proviso West High School in Hillside, Illinois instead, according to his father, Charles Wallace of 1426 Orvis Street here in Charlotte. "We are proud of him,” Gerald’s father admitted. "After Gerald graduated from Second Ward High School he received a scho larship to Johnson C. Smith.” Toll-Free Telephone Best Way To Get Help! GREENSBORO - When the Internal Revenue Ser vice in North Carolina eliminated walk-in assist ance in 12 cities this year, a big increase in the number of toll-free calls to the IRS was expected. According to Glenn Jones, IRS Public Affairs Officer, that pro jection is coming true. “We expected about 18,000 more calls this year than last year,” Jones said, p“and already we have logged an increase of more than 15,000 calls. But we have the phone lines and employees to handle the traffice and taxpayers call ing in should get an assistor in a short time.' Jones said that the office is averaging almost 5,000 calls a day now and the best time to call in for quick service is on Wednes days, Thursdays and Fridays. “Our aim is to furnish the taxpayer fast, courteous, but accurate in formation,” he stated. The toll-free system has always been the most con venient way by which a taxpayer can receive as sitant from the IRS, Jones said. The number is 1-800 822-8800 and can be called from anywhere in North Carolina weekdays from 8 a m. to 5 p.m. “We are receiving hun dreds of calls from people wanting to know about their refunds," Jones said. “All we ask is that they wait at least 10 weeks after filing the return to call us and then we will be happy to track it down to see what happened." Following his sophomore year Gerald served in the Navy and then returned to the university to complete his studies. “Gerald has studied at the University of Montreal. Canada and on a French Island in the Bahamas," Charles Wallace com mented. Students at Proviso West High School are impressed by Gerald Wallace’s know ledge but moreso by his teaching finesse. Recently in the high school newspaper the article “Mr. Wallace -Instills Love of Language In His Students" by Perrie Stanisavlevic revealed -a man filled with ideas for ‘inhibited’ learning. I read, “Mr. Wallace enjoys teaching young peo ple and all of his students enjoy his class...All of Mr Wallace’s classes are very good, and he enjoys teach ing new students to see how effective his teaching methods are.” Each year since ’78, the article continued, Wallace and students travel to France on the Non-School sponsored trip. All are looking forward to the trip which may, unfortunately be the last. —Wallace is the son of Mr, and Mrs. Charles P. Wallace of Charlotte. His father is 62 and about to retire. His mother is a nurse. They attend Greir Heights Presbyterian Church. Wallace has three sisters and one brother.

How do I know if I have computed the correct tax?” All are good questions, says the Internal Revenue Service Every taxpayer should file the tax form that is more beneficial to their situation. Naturally, the 1040A short form is simpler ana takes less time, but it is not best for everyone If a taxpayer has had large medical bills, paid real estate and pr<F perty taxes and contribut ed heavily -to charity, chances are that he or she should file the 1040 long form and itemize expenses to save money. In a nut shell, a person should file the long form if they are itemizing deductions, or claiming a tax credit or such income adjustments -as mnving_expensa^ The short form should be used if the taxpayer’s in come is from wages, tips and other types of com pensation and he or she is not claiming more than $200 if single or $400 on a joint return in interest or dividends. Also, the com bined income must not ex ceed $50,000. The IRS ex pects about 1.1 million re turns, almost one-half of all those filed, to be on the shorl form this year. Whatever form you use, the IRS strongly recom mends careful reading of the instructions and accur ate arithmetic. When the return is complete, a double check of the figures should be made before the return is signed. Subscribe to The Post. Your Support Helps.
