Your Income Tax ? 4.
When To Itemize Deductions
i Or Take The 10 Per Cent Cut
| "Fourth of Six Articles on How to
Make Out Your Federal Income
Tax Return.)
By FRANCIS J KF.LI.Y
AP Newsfeatures Writer
WASHINGTON ? It may pay
you to itemize your non-business
deductions on your federal income
tax return, instead of taking the j
standard 10 per cent allowance
based on your income.
A comparison of the tax com
puted under each system certain
ly Is in order if you paid out a lot
of interest on a home mortgage,
or Incurred heavy medical or hos
pital bills.
The government neither wants
nor expects you to pay more than
the mihimum tax due, honestly
figured.
You can itemize deductions
only H you use long-forin 1040.
Otherwise you are automatically
given a credit of about 10 per cent
of your income.
The principal allowable deduc
tions are state and local taxes; in
terest paid; contributions to reli
gious, charitable and educational
organizations; property losses by
fire, storm or theft; and?under
strict limitations ? some medical,
dental, hospital and nursing ex
penses.
Limits on Contributions
Contributions to religious, char
itable and educational organiza
tions are deductible only up to
20 per cent of your income. You
don't get anything olT your tax bill
for gifts to needy individuals, or
to political organizaitons, or labor
unions, or chambers of commerce.
You can deduct for real estate
and personal property taxes, state
income taxes, state or local sales
taxes, state gakoline taxes, and
automobile license fees.
But you can't take anything off
for federal income taxes paid,
social security taxes, federal excise
taxes puch as those on liquor, furs,
Jewelry and phone calls, or for lo
cpl taxes which tend to increase
the value of real estate owned. A
paving assessment Is a case in
point.
The law sets tight limits on the
amount of medical expenses fot
self and dependents that may be
deducted. First, taxpayers under
65 can take off only that portion of
such costs which exceeds 5 per
cent of their adjusted gross in
come. However, if eithpr you or
your wife is 65 or over, you may
claim the entire amount of medical
expenses for both of you, plus that
portion of your medical expenses
' for your dependents which exceeds
5 per cent of your income.
Medical Expense Limits
There are maximum limitations
on medical expense deductions,
too A single person who claims
only one exemption is entitled to
put in for not more than $1,250;
a married couple filing a Joint re
turn, $2,500: married, three ex
| emptions, $3,750; and married with
: lour or more exemptions, an over
| all top of $5,000. Those limits ap
i ply regardless of age.
Allowable medical expenses in
clude doctor, dentist, hospital and
nursing bills; drugs and surgical
appliances; false teeth and eye
glasses; X-ray examinations or
treatments; crutches, hearing aids
and ambulance service; premiums
on health, accident, medical or hos
pital insurance and cost of travel
necessary to get medical carc.
However, you cannot deduct the
cost of travel suggested by a
doctor for rest or change; or funer
al expenses, or life insurance
premiums.
If you itemize your deductions
on long-form 1040, you can take
olf your income any property los
ses by fire, storm, flood, etc. Loss
sustained in a car accident caused
by faulty driving is deductible, but
drunken driving is considered will
ful negligence, and no deduction
is allowed.
Insurance Modifies Loss
No deduction may be claimed if
the loss is compensated for by
insurance. If partially covered by
insurance, the amount of the de
duction is reduced accordingly.
The law requires you to report
as income any winnings you may
have on the races, poker and other
forms of gambling. But gambling
losses may not be deducted in ex
cess of gambling winnings.
Alimony pr separate mainten
ance payments made under a court
decree may be deducted. So may

main highways were closed and
even today not all are passable
C. T. McCulston, local manager
of the Southern Bell Telephone and
Telegraph Company. said this
morning that about 250 telephones
were still not In operation through
out the county and at one time 350
were out of order. McCulston said
all repair men, including difcl con
version crews, are getting lines
back irt order and he expects the
work to he completed sometime
Tuesday Befttrcn 1:30 am. and1
3:30 p m Sunday all toll circuits '
were out and repaiiT crews were
started first on these. These lines
have been repaired, the fn.anager
stated, and repairmen are now en
gaged on local lines.
The manager of the Carolina,
Power and Light Company. Roy
Wright, reported trouble started
about 9 p.m. Saturday and that re
pairs had been completed 24 hours
later. It was necessary to call for
outside help and four trucks and ,
14 men were sent from Ashevllle.
Contact had to be made with their
wireless radio equipment, Wright
said.
Most of 4he trouble was caused
by broken lines and in prder to get,

about 8 a.m. Sunday. Many peo
ple, who had only electric ranges,
were unable to cook Sunday din
ner. However, Wright said people
who reported trouble were very
understanding and cooperative an J
seemed to appreciate the difficul
ties that faced repairmen. More
than 1,000 people were affected by '
lack of power, he said.
The Haywood Electric Member
ship Cooperative (REA) reported
that one-third of Its lines?about
150 miles?were out as a result of
the snow. ' Manager R. C. Sheffield
said this comprised five of the 15
main circuits. All main lines, he
added, were repaired Sunday but
several short lines in Haywood
County will not be repaired until
Tuesday. Sheffield said that Bun
combe County was not affected ser
iously and that three of the five
main circuits that were put out of
order were In some of the other
counties that the Cooperative serv
es. However, only lines in Hay
wood County will not be repaired
today. This is due to the many
more lines that organization has in
the county and also because the
area was more seriously affected
by the storm.
Manager Sheffield placed the
cost of repairs at $1500. He said
his men started an 18-hour shift
at midnight Sunday and resumed
work this morning.
Both the Carolina Power and
Light Company and the Coopera
tive were able to speed up repairs
considerably with their short wave
radio facilities between truck and
headquarters.
The snowfall varied throughout
the county. At' least four inches
fell and at Salvation Army Head
quarters Major Cecil Brown re
ported 13 inches on level ground.
She said the entire area is snow
bound and none has been able to
get in or out. Telephone service
was interrupted only Sunday morn
ing and power was off frOm 6:30
a.m. until 9:30 a.m. A woman in
union dues, (as distinguished from
gifts to unions) and amounts spent
entertaining customers. Despite
protests of many working mothers,
the wages paid a nursemaid are not
deductible, even though her pres
ence in the home enables the par
ent to work.
If you keep securities in a safe
deposit box, you can deduct the
rental cost. You can't, however, if
it Is used only for jewelry, insur
ance policies and mementoes.

MOM ABOt'T
Postmaster
(CMlfaNM (Ml Tiff 1)
The current annual deficit Is over
$727,000,000
He pointed out that Congress
set the postal rates, and the bud
get, whUe other agencies outside
of Congress and also the Post Of
fice, set the rates the department
had to pay railroads and aircraft
For transporting mall.
This factor, together with a loss
on about every service of the de
partment accounted for the con
tinued deficits, he said.
When Congress cut the post of
fice budget by 70 millions back in
1051, the postmaster general or
dered all residential city delivery
of mail reduced to one delivery
daily.
There is now a-plan to restore
the twice-a-day service, It was
said, and the cost will add over 75
millions to the operation of the
post office.
The twice-a-day delivery in
Waynesville alone will cost about
$2,800, the postmaster pointed out. 1
The receipts of the local office
have climbed from a little over
$17,000 when Mr. Howell became
postmaster to a figure in excess of
$66,000 at present.
The Waynesville office has three
rural routes, covering 144 miles,
and serving 1.361 families. The of
fice has seven employees and one
part-time substitute.
The postmaster concluded his
remarks by pointing out: "Post of
fice employees are human like
everyone else. The majority of
them are loyal, and conscientious
regarding their work; but errors
will occur."

"WHO IS MR. 4%?"
Mr. 4% represents the Jefferson Standard
Jefferson Standard, now guaranteeing 2Vi % on policies currently

' to pfovide income. Four per cent is the highest rate of interest paid
by any major life insurance company in America!
Mr. 4%, a welcome visitor in the homes and offices of thousands of
policyholders, is pointing the way to extra income through 4%. His
friendly counsel is helping policyholders and beneficiaries use life ?
insurance more effectively?the Jefferson Standard way,
Por Example
On a $10,000 life insurance policy, interest income at 2Vi %
amounts to only $250 per year ... at 4% it amounts to $400
per year?$3,000 more income over a 20-year period!
Jefferson Standard's investment record is outstanding in the life insur
ance industry. The company's excellent earnings rate makes it possible
