RAVAGED - A tone, the grotesque shape of the tree catches the eye on a rural road east of Dundarrach silhouetted against the cloudless sky. Ravaged by man and nature, its branches reach up like tiny fingers to seize the sky. IRS News Don't Miss New Exemption Greensboro - "North Carolina taxpayers are forgetting to take a new tax benefit into consideration when computing their tax," said Robert A. LeBaube, District Direc tor of the Internal Revenue Service in North Carolina todav. "This year taxpayers are allowed a $30 credit for each regular exemption listed on their tax return in addition to the regular $750 exemption, but early results from the IRS Service Center show that as many as 15% of the returns already filed do not have this credit claimed on the form." Mr. LeBaube stressed that taxpayers who dis cover this error after filing do not have to file an amended return. The IRS Service Center will recom pute the correct refund and send it to the taxpayer. However, the extra processing may delay mailing of the refund. The $.30 credit, effective for 1975 only, is allowed for each regular exemption to which the taxpayer is entitled. However, individuals who claim additional exemptions be cause they are blii\d or over 65 may Give Firemen Directions The seven rural tire departments are asking that callers reporting a fire give exact directions to where the fire is located. Fireman's Asso ciation liaison Elwood Baker said. "Please do not hang up the phone until you have stated where the fire is clearly. If possible, have someone out on the road or street where the fire truck driver can see them". Baker said. Valuable time may be lost while the firemen are searching for the fire. "Please help us so we can help you". Baker said. Nutrition Courses .4 Planned The state's technical institutes and community colleges may now offer a course called Nutrition - Ammunition for Life, which has been developed through the leader ship of the Department of Com munity Colleges and the Depart ment of Human Resources. According to Mrs. Vercie Eller, who is in charge of health programs for the Department of Community Colleges, the North Carolina De partment of Human Resources thrugh its Division of Social Ser vices has long been aware of the problem of poor nutrition among the citizens of the state. The problem has been especially notice able among the poor people. With the advent of a statewide food stamp program and a world wide food shortage, the need for all people to know more about nutrit ious diets has become increasingly important. In order to provide more knowl > edge about nutrition, especially for those less able to gain such knowledge, the Department of Community Colleges and the De partment of Human Resources are r cooperating in the training of persons who will through focal social services regional training assistants arrange for provision of classes in some of the community colleges and technical institutes for the training of social service homemakers. only claim one $30 credit for themselves.

Large Response At Meeting On Furthering Reading Skill Over forty people attended a meeting Wednesday night of the Hoke County Chapter of Citizens United For The Improvement of Reading and chairman Kay Thomas reported 13 have agreed to become volunteer teachers. Aim of the group is to reach adults 18 years old and up who can't read or have special reading problems. The Laubach system of teaching, a 'one-to-one" method, will be used and volunteers will take 10 hours of training. Organizers of the program hope the reading instruction will prepare some people for adult basic classes. TOiMUfc v "4V rffcelct By Jim Dean N C Wildlif# R?ourc? Commrak You could easily get the idea that the modern American lives entirely off hamburgers, peanut butter and pizza,- but when the early fur trappers, explorers and settlers moved west, they didn't find the trails rimmed with neon-lit, fast - food joints. Indeed, had it not been for dried meat called jerky, the exploration and settling of the west would undoubtedly taken much longer. The term "jerky" comes from a French word "charqui," which means dried meat. Jerky was lean meat, usually venison, which was cut into thin strips and either dried in the sun or over a low fire. After it had reached a hard, crunchy state, it was practically indestructible an could be carried without being refrigerated or salt cured. When fresh meat was unavailable, jerky was often boiled to make a sort of stew. Sticks of jerky could also be eaten without any preparation whenever a hunger pang struck. Jerky has survived as a curiosity, if not a delicacy, and some folks still make it in the time - honored manner. I once read about a cowpoke who was famous for making venison jerky by draping strips of meat across barbed wire fences and covering the meat with cheese cloth to keep most of the bugs off. When asked why he flavored his jerky with lots of coarse black pepper, he replied that "it keeps you from wondering what all those little black specks are." A growing number of modern sportsmen are turning out their own venison jerky, although jerky can also be made with beef and other lean, red meats. Curtis Wooten, who is a writer and photographer for the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, has a recipe for venison or beef jerky that is quite tasty. Wooten's jerky is just as durable as the old - fashioned kind and can be carried as a snick without refrigeration. Because of special seasoning, it's also more flavorful, and since he dries it over low heat in an oven, it's sanitarv. Here's the recipe. Taxpayers who have questions about the personal exemption tax credit or other tax matters can visit local IRS offices or call toll free 1-800-822-8800. Those living in Greensboro may call 274-3711. which teach basic skills needed for employment. The national organization of Lutheran Church Women, who is active in the Laubach system, has agreed to assist the local chapter in implementing the program, t.b. Coleman, director of continuing adult education for Sandhills Community College, will also be involved. Mrs. Thomas said anyone who is interested in becoming a volunteer, or would like to find out more about the program, should call the public library at 875-2502 and ask about Citizens United for Reading. VENISON JERKY Cut l'/i to 2 pounds of lean venison into strips six inches long, one and a half inches wide and no more than a half inch thick. Remove all fat. Mix the following ingredients: 1 package instant meat marinade V* cup cold water 'A teaspoon liquid smoke '/? teaspoon garlic powder '/? teaspoon onion powder '/< teaspoon black pepper '/j teaspoon tabasco sauce Place meat in a bowl and cover with the sauce, piercing slices of meat deeply with a fork. Cover bowl and marinate overnight in refrigerator. Remove meat strips, drain slightly, and place on a rack in the oven, making sure strips do not overlap. Place cookie sheet under rack to catch drippings, then bake at 150 to 175 degrees for three to three and a half hours. At this point, jerky can be removed, cooled and eaten. However, it will still be somewhat chewy and require re frigeration. To completely dry jerky so that it can be carried without refrigeration, bake the meat for a total of 8 to 12 hours. When cooled, it will be hard, but crunchy or crumbly rather than chewy. Exact time of drying can be determined by occasionally removing a piece, letting it cool and trying it for taste and consistency. Perform a death-* defying act. regularly. Give Heart T Fund I.
