I just purchased a three- year S5,000 certificate of de posit from a bank for §4,000. How do I report the discount? A. The discount on a certifi cate of deposit, issued after May 27, 1969, must be reported ratably as ordinary income. You must include in income the ratable monthly portion of this original issue discount multiplied by the number of complete and fractional months that you held the certificate during your tax year. The bank that issued the certificate must provide you with a Form 1099 OID stating the amount of original issue discount includible in income for the year. For a more de tailed treatment of ho-w to compute original issue discount, see IRS Publication 550, “Tax Information on Investment In come and Expenses.” It’s avail able free from your nearest IRS oflice, Q. When should an employee file a new withholding exemp tion certificate (Form W-4)? A. You may file a new Form W-4 at any time if the number of withholding allowances you are entitled to claim increases. This would be the case, for example, if you feel you’re go ing to have a higher amount of itemized deductions on your re turn next year. You must fi\e a new Form \V-4 within 10 days if the number of allowances you are entitled to claim becomes less than the number you are now claiming. The number of al lowances will normally be re duced if your marital status changes from married to sin gle, you stop supporting a dependent, a child marries and moves away from home, or your eligibility for addi tional withholding allowances changes.

DeLury, head of the Department’s Employment Standards Ad ministration, said the decision will have a “positive impact” on his agency’s enforcement of the Equal Pay Act. “Because softline de partments are most often headed by women, the decision may result in higer wages for additional female managers throughout the retail industry,’’ he said. The Labor Department filed suit against Fields in 1968, alleging willful equal pay violations in at least three Fields stores in Eau Gallie, Merritts Island, and Tallahassee, Fla, At trial in 1971, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida agreed that wages paid within softline and hardline departments were discri minatory j)ut said that appeals court said the Labor Department, in its opinion, had proved “e- quality of work and inequality of pay.’’ Evidence that supervi sors in all departments order merchandise, assist customers and maintain orderly displays of mer chandise “showed that the jobs were substantially equal," the court said.

GREENSBORO - A combination work-study program which allows college students to spend eight months in Africa, is being looked upon as a source of future black economists for the nations of that developing conti nent. The program, coordinat ed by A&T State University for predominately-black colleges from throughout the nation, will send 10 students abroad approxi mately three months from now. The students arrived at A&T over the weekend for an intensive three-week orientation course in eco nomic development. Fol lowing completion of their stay at A&T, the students will receive an extensive briefing from the U.S. State Department, then leave for an assignment in Africa. The unique work-study program is being funded by the Agency for Internation al Development in its effort to attract more minority persons into its African Bureau as economists. “The idea is to permit these students, mostly economics majors, to com bine academic study with on-the-job training and foreign experience,’’ said Dr. Richard D. Robbins, who directs the program at A&T, Robbins said the pro gram, now in its third year, is considered to be highly successful. “The students have been extremely pleas ed with their experience,” he said. “Most of them don’t want to leave their African countries.” Robbins said a number of the former interns who have graduated from col lege, have accepted posi tions in the AID. Others are pursuing graduate degrees in international develop ment. While the students are interning in Africa, they are paid at the G.S. -4 rating. The students this year will be assigned to Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal, The Congo, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Ghana, We flnance and service what we tell New And Used Furniture HOUSE 5A2 South glm street 882-941t> 885-4919 WMTCHCtrCft OPEN FRIDAY NIGHT 'TIL 9 P.M (Enuntrg Jfurniturp Clompany JIttr. it w OPEN 8:30 til 6:00 Mon.
