This represents 79.1 percent of the state's 1971 dollar goal of $63,600,000. Sales in Perquimans County during August were $4,512.00. January-August sales totaled $66,045.00.

Some Hurricane Losses Are Tax Deductible Those who suffered casualty losses caused by Hurricane Ginger may deduct such losses on their 1971 tax returns, J.E. Wall, District Director of IRS, said today. Wall urged those who suffered damage to their property to have the damage appraised as soon as possible to determine the amount of the loss. Photographs of the damaged property should be made for evidence, if possible. Wall said that damage to crops may not be deducted since such crops represent only prospective income. The amount of deductible loss. Wall said, is determined bv the difference between the fair market value of the properties immediately before and im mediately after the hurricane struck (excluding cost of land upon which the property was located.) This loss must be reduced by the amount of in surance collected. All losses to property (except crops) which exceed $100 for each property, is deuctible as a casualty loss on the taxpayer's 1971 federal tax return. If President Nixon, upon request by Governor Scott, should declare any area struck by Hurricane Ginger, a major disaster area, then losses may be carried back to 1970 by filing an amended return. a thorough check up, he will tell you whether you should go on a reducing diet. If he advises you to lose weight, he will help you set your desirable weight goal, guide you in achieving it, and make it easier for you to maintain your best weight. .His guidance can make the dif. ference between success and failure in a weight control program. Of course, he can not make you thinner only you can do that. But if you put yourself under yourphysician'sare and maintain the recommend regimen, you will start to show results in a short time. As I stated before Perquimans County Weight Control Program is designed to help you to gain knowledge in how food becomes you, retrain your eating habits, and to become more active, states Mrs. Taylor.
