HIGH POINT
Recreation Commissioner, John Russell; Mrs. Bettye
Dockery, a teacher at Andrews High School; and City
Councilman, S.E. Burford, expressed their opposition,
and that of others, to the closing of the swimming pool
at Washington Terrace Park. It is felt by these
individuals, and others, that the swimming pool should
be closed if it continues to receive such low priority as
to its need for renovation and modernization of its
filtering device.
The Parks and Recreation Department is seeking
private land that can be used as garden spots by
residents of the city. The High Point Community
Garden project has become so popular that all available
city-owned land was taken in two days and a waiting list
now exists. Those individuals on the waiting list will be
called on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Mt. Vernon Baptist Church had a “burning of the
mortgage” in a formal ceremony at the church on
Sunday, Feb. 16, 1975. This was the second time that
Rev. F.O. Bass experienced a mortgage burning while
serving as pastor of the church.

SCOUTING
Continued from Page 1
Indian lore for that of the African Watutsi tribe. Last
year, one troop went on a "rat hunt” through vacant
tenements.
Chicago Scouts are working on disposing old cars,
fire safety and vermin control.
Scout literature has been re-designed to fit certain
ethnic or geographic language patterns. Much is now in
Spanish.
Professional Scout Executives have changed also.
Tom Rhone froniArizona, a district executive, drives a
1975 White-on-white Cougar XR7, wears “Superfly”
suits and stacked shoes. The reason: “I’ve got to
communicate to kids through the language of the
streets.” Wayne T. Brown, a black executive in
inner-city Atlanta says, “The pimps and pushers are
my competition. If you think we can beat them with the
apple pie boy scout image, then man, you just don't
know what’s out there.“ Instead of hiking, some scouts
are taking Karate and Kung-Fu.
There are still many things that could be changed in
the movement, and a lot that is being challenged, such
as the female role. But as one Scout Executive says,
“W didn’t get where we were by ignoring what’s going
on, and we’re looking at the program harder now than
ever before. The main problem though is still the
adults. Everybody likes to criticize, but when you give
them the opportunity to do something about it, the
same old irresponsible excuses start coming. They just
don’t realize that it’s the volunteers who run this thing,
and without those dedicated ones who are now
involved, the kids would not have the program.”
In the face of all these new changes, the sales slogan
is even more true, i.e.. “Scouling today is a lot more
than you think.” It’s encouraging to see such an
Americans organization changing to meet the needs of
the youth, yes, the black youth as well.

Is a shot of booze good for a hangover? ~ B.N.
That is still debatable, but if seeing is believing Dr.
James R. Hoon of Sheboygan, Wis., has interesting
pictures to show that a drink helps a hangover. He
photographed the inside of the stomachs of two
hungover volunteers before and after they, took a
“hangover shot.” Photographs of their stomachs after
the shots showed that they were more relaxed and
produced less mucus. All in all they looked better. Note;
This may be great for the stomach, but when do you
sober up?
Are there any pills or capsules that can be taken for
the treatment of leukemia? - R.S.
Yes. They are indicated for lymphocytic and
granulocytic leukemias. This does not mean that any
patient with leukemia can take these medicines by
mouth. Unfortunately, many patients cannot hold the
medicine down. If this be the case, then medicine is
usually iruected directly into the body.
I take Indocin for recurrent arthritis. Is it okay to
take aspirin with it for added relief? - M.S.
Generally, no. Taking aspirin with Indocin may cause
a decrease in the effectiveness of the Indocin, plus
aspirin may cause stomach or intestinal irritation. Before
you take any medication with this powerful drug,
consult with your physician or pharmacist.
What vitamins make urine turn yellow? - G.W,
Just one. Riboflavin.
Does the smallest particle of water have shape? - M.H.
Chemists and physicists are still unable to precisely
define its structure. Numerous theories describe it as
being part crystal, part gel, neither solid nor liquid, even
at room temperature. ((c) McN aught Syndicate, Inc.)

year
again replace it, you may con
tinue to postpone any tax on
the gain you realize. In addi
tion, a special provision of the
tax law allows you to exclude
from your gross income all or
part of the gain realized from
the sale or exchange of your
residence if you were 65 or
older when the transaction
took place.
For more information on
selling your residence, pick up
a copy of IRS Publication 523,
“Tax Information on Selling
Your Home." You can get it
free from many IRS offices.
Q. How do I report the $50
I won and the $10 I lost in the
football pool at my office?
A. Your total gambling win
nings must be included in your
income regardless of your
losses. If you itemize your
deductions on Schedule A,
Form 1040, you may deduct
your gambling losses incurred
during the year to the extent
they equal your winnings. You
may not deduct gambling los
ses if you take the standard
deduction or use the tax tables
to compute your tax. In the
example, if you have no other
winnings or losses, you should
report the $50 as income and
deduct the $10, if you itemize,
rather than reporting only net
winnings of $40.
Q. I recently received a check
from a client in payment
for services I had rendered.
Since I’ll be leaving the coun
try soon on a business trip and
may not return before the end
of the year, I probably won’t
cash the check before next
January. Do I have to pay tax
on this income for this year
or for 1975?
A. A valid check that you
have received or that is avail
able to you before the end of
the year is income to you in
that year even if you do not
cash the check or deposit it to
your account until the next
year.
Q. As a member of the Na
tional Guard, I receive a small
clothing allowance for purchas
ing my uniforms. I must pay
the balance of the cost of uni
forms not covered by the al
lowance. Can I deduct this
balance?
A. Yes, you may deduct the
unreimbursed cost of your uni
form if military regulations
restrict you from w’earing it
except while performing duties
in the Guard. In computing
the deduction, the cost must be
reduced by any nontaxable al.
lowance you receive for these
expenses. The expense may
only be claimed if you itemize
deductions on Schedule A,
Form 1040.
