She Zebulon gterorb Volume XVIII. This, That Cr the Other By Mrs. Theo. B. Davis The Psalmist tells us “the days of our years are three-score years and ten,” adding that by reason of strength some may attain four score years. Job spoke of how 'one dieth in his full strength, his bones moistened with marrow. And at times the old and the young go close *together. • In our home last Saturday af ternoon one telegram told of the sudden death of my mother, near ly 82 years old. She was drying the dinner dishes when the stroke came and merely sank down and stopped breathing. As one of my sisters said, “It was just like Mo ther not to be sick a long time, and to die on Saturday so all the family could gather on Sunday without disrupting their own af fairs.” , Hardly two hours after the message about Mother’s death came a telegram from the War Department saying our oldest son had been killed in action in the Philippines. We had for weeks been in suspense, because the fighting had been heavy where he was in command of a training camp of Philippine recruits, and we knew they were cut off from communication with southern « Luzon. On Sunday afternoon the serv ice at Gladys, Virginia, was for both my son and my mother. Other members of the family wanted it that way, and there were more of us together than could gather again soon. It was a short, simple, sweet service with the same friend who sang at my father's funeral singing again. This time she used that oid song about the dear ones gathering home, and I had not Jaefore fully realized its beauty. The unexpected tribute here Sunday morning when the Meth odist church and the Wakefield church called off services and joined our congregation has deeply touched and comforted us. We knew Mrs. Massey was to sing and that we would be men tioned in prayer, but had no idea the news would spread so rapidly nor that so many would attend. Sorrow is lessened when thus shared. Because some have asked about the words Mrs. Massey sang Sun day to the music of Londonderry Air I am having them printed here. I wrote them two years ago primarily for my own burial, whenever that may be; but 1 wanted them used for Mother and Eric. They are my sincere belief and I know of no music that touches my soul more than the old Londonderry Air. If others may find some measure of f Continued on Back Page ] ALMANAC!

W»1 1 Strum Taxpayers May Deduct Fire Losses from Taxed Income Charitable Donations May Also Be Counted on Talley Some of the items °that are de ductible from gross income to de termine net income are listed in this article. Lack of space pre vents a full explanation of the various deductions. If in doubt on any item consult the nearest collector of internal revenue, dep uty collector or internal revenue agent. Typical business expenses of a mercantile establishment are amounts paid for advertising, hire of clerks and other employees, rent, light, heat, water, stationery, stamps, telephone, property in surance and delivery expenses. A professional man may deduct all necessary expenses incurred in the pursuit of his profession. A loss arising from “fires, storms, shipwrecks, or other cas ualty" need not be connected with the taxpayer's trade or business, if his home or his automobile is destroyed by fire he may claim a deduction for the loss sustained unless compensated for by in surance or otherwise. Loss of property by theft is an allowable deduction. In general, taxes are deductible only by the person upon whom they are imposed. Certain taxes are not deductible, such as those assessed against some local ben efits, and the Federal income tax. The Federal tax of 10 percent on the retail sale of jewelry, furs, and toilet preparations is not de ductible by the purchaser. Other taxes not deductible are those im posed on employees by the Social Security Act, Federal estate and gift taxes and State inheritance, estate, legacy, or succession taxes. The Federal taxes on automobiles, gasoline, cigarettes, and liquor are imposed upon the manufacturer, producer, or importer, and are not deductible by the purchaser or consumer. Charitable contributions and gifts made by an individual are deductible within certain limita tions, if actually paid within the year. The organization to which the gift is made, for example a corporation, trust, community chest, fund or foundation must be created in or organized under the law of the United States or any possession of the United States or under the law of any State or Territory, or of the District of Columbia and must be organ-! ized and operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, lit erary, or educational purposes, or; for the* prevention of cruelty to I children or animals. Gifts to an individual are not deductible. Amounts paid or accrued with in the taxable year 1941 as inter est on indebtedness are deductible, with certain exceptions, from 1 gross income. The Internal Revenue Code provides for “a reasonable allow ance for the exhaustion, wear and tt ar or property used in the trade or business, including a reason able allowance for obsolescense" For convenience such allowance usually is referred to as deprecia tion.

Number 29 Pruning Pine Tree* Urged on Farms Pruning shrubs and fruit trees has long been recognized as a valuable practice, and now comes the suggestion from R. W. Grae ber Extension forester of N. C. State College, that North Caro lina farmers prune tliear pine trees. The idea has been tried out tor the past two years; now it is beyond the experimental stage, says Graeber. The growing of pines as a crop on tile 1 arm is well on its way as one of the South s most pro fitable developments. The only drawback is that the bulk of the pine timber in the Soudi is grow mg in understocked stands, where there aie too few trees per acre. The result is that such un crowded trees generally grow ra pidly in diameter and branch freely. The trunks taper sharp-, ly and have a high percentage of sapwood and many knots. “Prop er pruning of o young trees practi tally guarantees high quality timberthe Extension worker de j clared. Knots constitute the only common defect in second-growth South*rn pine timber.” Graeber says that there is little demand for very knotty pines or poles, and even the pulp mills refuse to take too much knotty wood. Clear saw-logs are worth two or three times as much as knotty logs. Where pines grow in well stocked stands, they will prune themselves, but where open growth is found, pruning is nec essary. Philatheas Meet The Philathea Class of the Bap tist Church met at the home of Mrs. W. N. Pitts on last Monday evening, with Mrs. John D. Hor ton as program leader. After the devotional part of the program Mrs. Horton pre sented Mrs. S. G. Flowers, teach er of the corresponding Wo man's class of the Methodist church, who spoke on the subject, Building a better world together. Mrs. Flowers’ 'talk was very forcefully presented, giving food for serious thought to those who heard her. After a short business session an informal social hour was en joyed. Refreshments were served by the hostess. On Dean’s List The name of Cornelia Herring, senior at Meredith College, is among those on the Dean’s list, which means that her grades are so high she does not have to at tend classes unless she herself feels it necessary. Miss Herring, daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. R. H. Herring of Zebulon, is edi tor of The Twig, bi-weekly news paper of the college.
