Beat the “Tax Bite Blues”
How does one beat the April 15th “tax bite blues"? Easy, my
friend . . . pay up on March 15th!
Why wait? Go ahead, send your dues in ahead of time and
forget that deadline panic.
Seriously, though, to encour
age early payment, here’s a
bit of information to get you
started: deduct home im
provements that qualify as
medical necessities such as
central air-conditioning for
cystic fibrosis or asthmatic
victims, a chair elevator for
heart patients, or a swim
ming pool for polio victims.
The amount deductible is
simply the difference be
tween the expense of your
home improvement and the in
crease in property evalua
tion. A $20,000 swimming
pool, for example, that in-

wood is still the preferred sub
stance for rail ties. And the
railroad industry, which may
or may not boom again as a
result of the energy crises, cur
rently needs 28 million of
these ties each year. How big
the demand will be in the fu
ture is anyone's guess.
The Japanese, whose ex
pansion in the bowling alley
business all but drained the
U.S. supplies of maple a few
years ago, are now placing
similar strains on basswood.
The culture-conscious Japan
ese are also going in for pianos
and organs in a big way. Ya
maha, well known already for
its pace-setting rise in the mo
torcycle industry, also turns
out 3, 000 pianos a month. The
basswood, it seems, is Yama
ha's choice for the ivory
coated keys.

We would like to express
our sincere appreciation to our
friends and relatives for the
gifts of food, floweis and cards
of sympathy sent to us in our
time of sorrow. The thought -
ful deeds and many kindnesses
shown were a great help to us
and will be remembered with
gratitude.

We would like to express our
appreciation to our many friaids
and relatives for their kindness
and sympathy extended to us
in our bereavement. Gifts of
food, flowers and cards of sym
pathy were a source of strength
to us. We especially wish ■to
thank Dr. Webb and the staff
of Yancey Hospital, also the
Revs. Junior Honeycutt, Frank
Murphy and Bill Hyers, and
Holcombe Brothers Funeral
Home for their efforts in our
behalf.
- The Yancey Hall family.
And so the tale continues.
The papier industry used vir
tually no hardwoods 10 years
ago, but now improved tech
nology in the treatment of
hardwood fibers makes hard
wood use comparable with that
of softwoods.
To alleviate shortages of
the finer woods, meanwhile,
the forest piroducts industry has
been working for years to re
duce waste in the industry. The
use of computers for the grad -
ing of hardwood lumber shows
promising results. Sensing
mechanisms detect flaws in the
lumber and feed this to a com
puter which instantly adjusts
the cutting for maximum ef
ficiency.
While maximum use of the
present hardwoods and elimi -
nation of waste is being en
couraged, this will not result
in ample supplies of hardwoods

Private landowners are be
ing encouraged to establish
hardwood forests on their lands.
They can get all the advice
and help they need from the
state forester. One suggestion
is that "you grow a gold mine
in your own backyard. Enjoy
bumpier crope of nuts for de
cades, then cash in on the tim
ber during your retirement \ears.
Mere accurately, though,
you are likely to be leaving the
timber as a legacy to your
children. Walnut timber can
become commercially valuable
at 25 years, but 40 years is a
more acceptable age and it's
the 70 year and older trees that
command the really big prices.
Conceive, if you will, of
one black walnut tree reperted
ly sold for $12,000 to be turn
ed into the veneer that gives
pianos and other pieces of qua
lity furniture that exquisite
walnut finish.
