This column of questions and answers on federal lax matters is provided by the local office of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and is published as a public service to taxpayers. The column answers questions most frequently asked by taxpayers. Q) My children are now in school and I've started back to work. My husband is claiming all our exemptions on his job so what should 1 do on mine? A) Since the slme exemp tion should not be claimed by two taxpayers, do not claim any withholding exemptions on your job unless your husband drops them. To avoid owing additional tax at the end of the year, you may want to have your em ployer withhold taxes on the basis of no exemptions or at a single person's rate. In many eases where lioth husband and wife work, not enough is with held to meet their full tax liability. Q) Can I rive my 16-year old son a shotgun and take him huntinr with me without breaking any federal gun law ? A) Yes. Under the 196K Gun Control Act your son may not buy a shotgun or ammuni tion for it until he is IK. How ever, this iloes not mean that you cannot supply him with what he needs. Q) I don't understand the letter I got from IKS. What should I do? A) Contact your local IRS office and explain the situation to them. Identify the letter you received so the person helping you can advise you as to what action may Ije necessary. Q) Some of the deductions I claimed were disallowed be cause all I had were checks made out to cash to back them up. I thought checks were good records? A) They are in most cases hut a check made out to cash does not indicate the nature of the expense. To substantiate an expense your records should indicate the date paid, amount ami nature of expense. Q) Are Gl's in Vietnam tax ed on their pay? A) Enlisted men and war rant officers need not report pay received for a month any part of which they served in Vietnam. Commissioned Offi cers may exclude from income the first $500 of monthly pay received for service during any month in Vietnam. These rules apply when ser vicemen are in an area de clared a combat zone. Military personnel stationed in this country, for example, are taxed. Q) I ?ork for my room and board at college. Is this taxable? A I In your situation it prob ably will be. The fair market value of the room and hoard should be added to any other income you have. If the total is $1,700 or more a tax return must lie filed. Room and lioard would not lie taxable if they are furnish ed on the employer's premises and for his convenience. In addition, acceptance of the lodging must lie a condition of employment. A typical exam ple of this would lie a camp counselor. FALL STOREWIDE SALE CONTINUES!

New Supervisor For The National Forest Most people have the misconception of what forestry is, said Ralph Moyle, Forest Supervisor of the National Forests in North Carolina. Moyle, who recently came to North Carolina to take the reins of the National Forests here, explains that forestry has developed into an administrative management job, he continued, pulling out an organization chart showing the number of people working in the office and their responsibilities. "Last year (fiscal year 1970) we sold $900,000 worth of timber. This coming year we will sell some 80 million board feet that will be worth approximately $1.5 million," he said. FINANCES SCHOOLS,ROADS He added that 25 percent of this revenue returns to the State for use in schools and roads. North Carolina received $246,233.50 returns last year. "More than $800,000 was spent on road maintenance and construction during the .past ywr and an additional road construction contract was let for the amount of $1.8 million dollars. One can readily see numerous jobs spin-off as benefits from the National Forests in North Carolina, he continued, emphasizing the many outlets of service from the Forest. As further attestment to the new forestry image Moyle need look no further than a map showing the 1,129,000 acres of forest land that constitutes the National Forests here. His office, located at 50 South French Broad in Asheville is staffed with 80 administrative specialists. All total the National Forests in North Carolina is served by some 425 persons. VARIETY OF SERVICES Continuing his explanation of the variety of services, Moyle said, "There are 10 municipalities receiving their water supply from the National! Forest land. Approximately $.2 million visitors use National Forest land for recreational purposes such as camping, picnicking and hiking." He also listed timber production, wildlife, recreation, water shed management, fishing production, right-of-ways, and pollution control as resources of the National Forest. Speaking of recreation, he pointed out there are 47 recreation areas on the four National Forests in Noth Carolina. Some of these areas are left open for hunting STARTED IN 1952 Moyle, has worked for the Forest Service "all his adult life" with the exception of a tour of duty with the Army during World War H. He first joined the U.S. Forest Service in 1952 with the Southeastern Forest Experimental Station. In 1956 he moved to National Forest administration in Texas and from there went to Georgia in 1961 where he urved on the staff of the Forest Supervisor. Then in 1966 he was appointed Deputy Forest Supervisor in Mississippi. Moyle transferred to Roanoke, Virginia in 1967 as Forest Supervisor of the Jefferson National Forest and served in this capacity until the pieeent time. A native of Pennsylvania, he graduated from Pennsylvania State University and looks forward to living and working here In the Bhie Ridge Moyle and hie wife, Mary have four children: Sandra-21, Susan-17, Lon-15 and Bnice-9. tOVMSOR FUH6t3l ttOlM MRS LASSIE THOMPSON CEARLEY Mrs. Lassie Thompson Cearley, 85, of Rt. 3, Blairsville, Gi., died last week, early Thursday morning in a BlairsviUe, Ga. hospital after a long illness.

Associates will give you a wide berth. And wel they might. Desire for prominence will be strong. Guard lest circuits become overloaded. A personal blackout at this juncture could prove most embarrassing. And costly. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Seemingly noble ambit' tions will be inextricably bound to your basest desires. ' You may fool those around you, but in your heart-of- i hearts, you know the vulgar truth. Move ahead, if yPu J must. But for the love of heaven don't use a friend as a' ladder. You can move horizontally, you know. ALL moves ' need not be vertical. In fact, there are times when hori zontal is far superior to vertical. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The first of the mutable signs, Gem, you are usually the middleman. However, in 1 week ahead, you will be the lead horse. In fact, you will | be in the number one spot in more than one area. Olga knows that her Gems are highly versatile, and can manage ' several things at once, but one word of caution: Stay out | of the twilight zone, love. To best take advantage of coming week, you need to have all of your faculties in good working condition. But not necessarily well oiled.. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Emotional satisfaction is at hand, love. Remember a couple of weeks ago when Olga told you to settle for security? Well, that was THAT week. Now the time has come to cash in your chips. The ones you have been saving. And saving. In the mean time, interest has skyrocketed, you know. Settle for only the best. LEO (July 23-Auqust 22): It's THAT week, Leo my love. The one old Olga warned you about. Are you ready? You are? You fool, you. O.K., sometime before fifth day you will encounter one who has potential to soothe and perhaps even captivate your savage heart..lf this person is not a practicing musician, then at least they j have natural rhythm. Of this you can be sure. VIRGO (August 23-September 22): You are needed, j Virg. Not only by business associates, but also by friends and loved one. Week ahead ideal for you to prove your ! worth. Don't let them down. Gift or favor may be asked i of you. Give willingly and with some degree of grace. ' However, on last day of week, you may wish superior to grant you a favor. If so, lower your voice when you make request. j LIBRA (September 23-Octobcr 22): Dwell not in the i past, Librba baby. That which is over, is done. C'est fini. j Today is all that counts. Nothing is less with it than yes- , terday's dreams. Yesterday's plans and schemes. Look ' around you, love. Goodies abound. Get them all together, j Week should end with positive vibes. SCORPIO (October 23-November 21): Temptation will be strong to harangue one who displeases you. Reflect : well, before you give in to this urge. It could wind up | costing you a great deal. If person is sensitive at all, they < just could turn tail and leave you with nothing but your \ blame arrogance. And arrogance won't keep you warm | when the winter winds blow. ? - SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 21): An other week for action, Saj. Time ripe for pulling yourself up out of the mire. No fair half-stepping behind the pro gram. Your adrenals should be working over-time. CAPRICORN (December 22-Jonuory 21): You are headed toward a labyrinthine way, Cap. Confusion could cause you to really fall behind the parade. Yes, Olga' knows that Cap "hears a different drummer" and all thqt jazz. But just make sure the drum that you follow isn't a toy. Nothing is harder on the nervous system than the sound of a toy drum. Unless perhaps it would bo a tciy bagpipe. AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18): You have great originality and chutzpah, Aquari. And in week ahead you're going to need it. Just to muddle thru. Before week is oyer gutsy newcomer may appear on the seer*. No need for you to feel threatened. You're all boss baby, and newcomer won't track behind you. PISCES (February 19-March 20): You will perhaps a bit confused in days ahead, Pisces. But don t let |t be get you down. We are living in schizoid times, love, and you are simply a product of your generation. Get as much rest as possible. And eat regularly. This is not a week for you to attempt any new venture. If you just manage tp slithar along unfit ma week it ovar, you will kava accom plished a great deal.
