The program entitled "Medi cine: Need, Challenge, and You" is designed to review many of the career opportunities for students interested in medicine and the allied health fields. This particular program, sponsored by the Medical So ciety of the State of North Ca rolina is the sixth in a series sponsored by theNorthCarolina Association of Professions in cooperation with its member professional groups. The series was produced with the assis tance of Dick Sanvely, Program Directo r of the North Caro lina State University's Educa tional TV Studio in Raleigh. The UNC Educational net work, which will carry the pro gram, includes the following stations: WUNC-TV, channel 4, Chapel Hill; WUND-TV, chan nel 2. Columbia; WUNE-TV, channel 17, Linville; WUNF-TV, Wallace Summer Recreation Program What happens when the spon sors of your children's summer recreation program can no lon ger continue to serve as such? Why, you do something about it Instead of letting it just die ? at least you do if you live in Wallace. And that's Just what the pa rents of children in the Wallace Elementary School did when the J ayCees found It impossible to continue sponsoring die recrea tion program about three years ago. First, they called a meet in s of all parents and friends o I the school children. They discussed methods and means of continuing the program and decided to elect a commission from among their group. This they did, gave the commission full charge and full authority and dispersed, satisfied that the commission would function suc cessfully, and it did, keeping good faith with the parents. It elected Neal Carlton, the principal of the school, as the director for the recreational program for summer. No one knew the children better. He knew their capabilities, their capacity for effort, their back ground and their needs for an absorbing summer schedule, and so ne worked out a plan to keep them busy and happy. The commission went to work on the "where and how" ques tions. The answers came. The channel 33. Ashevtlle; and WU NG-TV, chanel 58, Concord. Parts of the television pro gram were filmed at medical schools in North Carolina and features comments from medi cal students. Robert A. Ross, M.D.. of Chapel Hill, President of the State Medical Society and David G. Welton.M.D., of Char lotte participate in the program along with H. Fleming Fuller, M.D., of Klnstoa serving as host physician. American Legion ball park was secured for an activity base. They managed to be the bene ficiaries of the ad rental spaces at the park and rented all spa ces, thereby raising a sizeable sum to help. They accepted do nations fromfriends, sold chan ces on baseballs autographed by big league players (obtained through a friend who had the right contacts) they charged $2.00 a child for registration fee, used gate receipts. These were a few of their ways to raise money. The main ex penses included insurance, labor, lights and equipment. And they have been doing it this way for the last three years. This year the registrar tion fee goes up to $3.00. They regret this, but the trend of prices In these times make It necessary. Commissioners are elected on a rotation system, ft pre sent they are as follows. Art Meyer, president; Mrs. Dovie Penny, Treasurer; Ben Goff, Mrs. Grace Howard, Dr. J. S. Blair, and Charles Sloan. Mr. Meyer, president of the group at present, is a Life Member of the commission, and the only Life Member It has. He was elected by the commission in acknowledge ment of his efforts and devo tion throughout the years. The Income Tax Greensboro, N. C. - Theft and casulaty losses may be de ducted on Federal Income tax returns under certain condi tions, said J. E. Wall, District Director of Internal Revenue for North Carolina. These deductions are avail able to the many people who suffer damages to grounds, dwellings, automobiles, boats, furniture, and other property used for personal and business purposes as a result of hurri canes, fires, storms, floods and other disasters. A deductible casualty loss can result from complete or partial destruction of property. Generally speaking, it must re sult from an identifiable event of a sudden, unexpected, or un usual nature. Damage to your own car re sulting from a collision or ac cident can be deducted if not due to your willful negligence or act. You cannot deduct amounts you pay for damage to another car with which you collided. On property .held; for per sonal use, die amount of the less is the lesser of (1) the adjusted basis of the property or (2) the decrease in the fair market value of the property as a result of the casualty loss. From this amount you must subtract the insurance or other compensation which you receive or expect to receive. Only the amount of the net loss of property used for per sonal purposes in excess of membership is an honorary one. Mr. Carlton, director with the Commission, sets up the program. There are six Little League Teams that are re gistered with Little Tar Heel Leagues, Incorporated. They practice In. the daytime and pi ay games at night, three nights each week. One team of all stars from the six teams is selected and trained as the season advances, and this all star teams competes with other all-star teams in the league area for playing in the state playoff tournaments. There is one Pony Team and one Midget team. Each of the Little League, Pony and Mid get teams, has one coach and one assistant coach. All are vo $100 per casualty or theft Is deductible. Married taxpayers filing joint returns need to ex clude only one $100 for each casualty or theft. If they file separate returns, each is sub ject to the $100 exclusion. Theft losses including losses of money or other personal pro perty. are deductible in the year ? they MeittcSWM&LosseSre- ' suiting from losing or mislaying articles are not deductible. When the casualty occurs during the filing period, in an area subsequently declared a disaster area by the President, special rules allow a calendar year taxpayer to choose to de duct the loss on the return for either the preceding year or the current, year. This choice is also available to fiscal year lunteers. For the girls there are vol ley ball, soft ball and tennis teams. In the season of 1967 three PACE students worked with the Recreation program. They were Connie Rlvenbark and Amelia Fori aw. who worked with the girls and Danny Kier, who help ed the boys. The Commission, this year, is working to raise $4,000.00 for their budget. They can use it all. In the future, Mr. Carlton hopes to have more needed in door activities, such as arts, crafts, and hobbies, needed ad ditions to outdoor activity are biking, crafts for out-of-doors and camping. taxpayers tor disaster area losses occurring after the close of a fiscal year but before the regular due date of the fiscal year tax return. Some of the loss items for which you cannot claim a de duction are accidental loss of cash or other personal pro - -B?rty; damage cta^to rust or gradual erosion: damage or de struction of aniifuls or plants by disease; ^termite or moth damage or amounts paid for the car of personal injuries.
