QUESTIONS & ANSWERS Q—I’ve taken a part-time sec ond job. What can I do to .stop having Social Security taxes tak en out of my pay on both jobs? A—Each employer is required to withhold Soi-ial Security taxes on the first $7800 of wages paid employees in 1969. However, if more than the maximum of $374.40 is withheld for Social Se curity because you had two jobs, the excess can be claimed as a credit on your 1969 income tax return. her, .so long as you continue to siir.port her and she meets the the other dependency tests. A clo.se relative, your grandmother for example, docs not have to be a member of your household to qualify as a dependent. Procedures for claiming this credit are explained in the in- struction.s you will receive with your tax forms. Q—I hiive fully supported my grandmother for years. Will we still be able to claim her as a de pendent this year even though she is now in a rest li "n A—Yes, you may still claim If your grandmother is in a rest home primarily because of the .medical care provided there, the entire cost of her maintenance is considcrerl a medical expen.se. If personal or family reasons prompted the decision for her to enter the home, only those ex- oense.'- .sjx'cifically for medical care will be considered deductible medical expenses. <}—I won t be working anymore this year so why can’t I file my lax return now? I could use the money I’m expecting to get back. A—Existing regulations provide for the filing of an income tax return after the end of the tax year, which, with rare exceptions, is the calendar year for employ- ee.s. Even though you may not work or receive income during the re.st of the year, a tax return is rec]uired to be filed on the basis of a full tax year. To avoid delays when you file for your refund, make sure you have a Form W-2 statement of wages paid and tax es withheld attached to your re turn. Your employer should have given you your \V-2 within 30 day.-; after leaving employment. LeiteiToEditu I The Veterans Comer!

I thought for sure that the racial situation would be in a I progressive move; however, to my i surprise, I find that this situation I is in a regressive move. I really cannot believe that all this trou ble is over a mere little song. To I a certain point this is very funny, jto see a group of students fight- i ing over a song. But still, to many ! of you this is a very serious mat- j ter. But how can you let a simple song interfere with your relation- I ships? This I will never under stand. I I may be wrong in what I am ! saying, but all of this is very event exceeu . ' naive to me. To destroy some mortgages may run up ! thing that money nor a song can I replace, and that is friendship. Some say that they hate the song (“Dixie”) but is there a real, truthful meaning for this hate? You (primarily the Negro race) say that this song reminds you of the -slavery days and the Civil War. How can this be true when you never lived back then? Does "Dixie” offend you to the point where you would lose your friends just to prove your point? If this i is true, then maybe I am blind— or maybe it is you who are blind. As for myself, I look at “Dixie” as merely a song. It does not re mind me of slavery nor of the the Sunday morning worship services Sunday at 11 o’clodr at First Presbyterian church. IN MEMORY OF MRS. 7. B.

YOU make up KMHS, both black and white, j and not just one. Whatever you do will not hurt the building, be cause it is made up of only bricks and cement, and it can be replac ed. However, KMHS is relation ship toward one another, and that cannot be replaced once you have destroyed it. Believe me; I know from experience. So, my friends (of what few I may have left) the decision is yours and yours alone. I hope ; that you will at least think about I what I have said, because it is I for your own good.
