Tax Requirements Changed In prior years, any citizen or resident of the United Stales under 65 having gross income of $600 or more during the tax year was required to file a Federal Income Tax Return. Next year things will be different. The Tax Reform Act of 1969 provides the following filing requirements for individuals: 1. A single person (not self-employed) whose income in 1970 was less than $1700 is not required to file a Federal Tax Return. 2. A single person who is over 65 or blind need not file a return if his income was less than $2300; but if he is both blind and over 65, he need not file a return if his income is under $2900. 3. A married couple, who share the same household at the end of the year, need not file a return if their combined incomes were less than $2300. 4. Married taxpayers are entitfol to an additional exemption of $600 each for Child Abuse, Governor Bob Scott has proclaimed next week "Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Week" in North Carolina. The MADISON County Department of Social Services together with its counterparts throughout the state will attempt to inform the citizens of North Carolina about the extent of child abuse and neglect and how they can help by reporting such incidents to their departments. Liist year over 2,000 cases of child abuse and neglect were reported to the county departments of social services throughout the state. Fact county department reports each case to the central (egistry maintained by the State Department of Social Services. A glance at excerpts from these reports gives some vivid examples of how serious this problem really is. "...Six year old child severely bruised all over both buttocks extending above waistline. Bruises on arms and face; large bite imprint on right arm; and long scratch on neck. Child attributed all to her mother. Mother admitted inflicting injuries." "...Referrel indicated that the four children, aged four to nine years, are allowed to roam as they please. In one instance the children were out-doors in expremely cold weather without shoes and proper clothing. Physical abuse of one child was alleged Going Away Party Given Fveryone at Spring Creek was sorry to hear about and see John Barnes, 5th and 6th grade teacher, going back to New York. He was honored at a Going Away Party at the home of Jeff Burton at Hot Springs Saturday night. Many of his friends attended to express their appreciation for his work at Spring Creek School and his efforts last summer in coaching the community's Little League baseball team. We hope he will return soon to visit us. blindness and age. Hence, a married couple who are both over 65 need not file a return if their combined income is under $3500; if they are both over 65 and both are blind, no return is required if their combined income is under $4700.

Neglect Prevention Week in that father beat the child and placed his feet in extremely hot water." "...School attendance counselor reported situation. Boy, age 11, stated he had been beaten and physically displayed marks of abuse. He reported a brother, age 10, as not attending school this year, abused, kept upstairs in a room and put in car trunk when family was traveling. Boy found upstairs and had discolored buttocks and innumerable old scars on shaved head." Growing public awareness and interest in this problem led all states in the nation to enact laws during the 1960's requiring or recommending that medical personnel and others report incidents of suspected physical abuse to appropriate local and state authorities. A major objective of this legislation was to improve the mechanism for locating cases of child abuse and neglect and to assure protective services for the victims, their siblings, and their parents. A secondary purpose was to obtain a better understanding of the scope and nature of the phenomenon than was possible when only a few selected cases came to the notice of health, education, welfare, and law enforcement authorities. The provisions of reporting legislation vary from state to state. Reporting is mandatory in all states except Alaska, Missouri, New Mexico, North Carolina, Texas, and Washington. In these states it is left to the discretion of those responsible for re porting. The reporting law passed in North Carolina 1965 gave county departments of social services full authority to investigate and initiate legal proceedings if necessary. It also established immunity for physicians, school personnel, and others who report abuse and neglect of children, unless the reporter acts in bad faith or with malicious intent. Even with these new laws, most social workers feel that the biggest problem is the unreported cases. It has been estimated that at least as many incidents as have been reported remain unreported. During next week the local department of social services will have as its prime objective the distribution of a new pamphlet "How You Can Help Prevent Child Abuse and Neglect" to all school personnel, doctors, hospitals, and other interested groups.
