MAKES OWN CLOTHES
Attending an Extension tailor
ing worksliop two years ago, v\’as
a turning point for Crissie Btard,
a Rowan (’ounty teenager.
She made a wool suit at the
workshop. “Cri5;sie was very pa*
liont,” Edith Hinshaw, Iiom(? eco
nomics Extension agent, reports,
“so she wanted to learn how to
do it right.”
( Last summer she made a com
plete college wardrobe, including
pant suits, skirts, bUmses, tunic.s
and dresses, Miss Hinshaw adds.
Crissie has her own ideas about
color and knows that by sewing
she can have twice* a.s many
j clothes, the agent concludes.
' UNDERSTAND HAWAII
Mrs. Lei Ashley, a native Ha
waiian and Extension Homemak*
! ers club member in Onslow Coun-
; ly, has done much to promote in-
' ternaiional relations, believes
Mrs. Chase Padgett, home econom*
ICS, Extension agent.
Lei recently returned from her
native home and showed club
memDcrs sliries of her .state and
i explained its customs.
. “Although Hawaii is a state,
many feel if is a different c*oun-
try,” Mrs. Padgett notes. But
homemakers like Lei help to
; make our country one, she adds.
APRON PROJECT
Raising money for recreational
purposes can present a problem
to a small community. Unless,
they come up with an unusual
scheme.
According to S. N. Shelton, agri-
' cultural Extension agent, Orange
^ County, members of the Cheeks
Community did a survey and
found aprons were in big demand.
So women In the community are
being trainc'd to make them.
The aprons are of high quality
and very durable, Shelton says,
They are made for all occasions
and according lo a p<*r.son’s needs, i
In tact, several mpn are buying
them to help keep their clothe,s
neat on the job and to save on ;
laundry costs.
Profits from the sale of apron.s '
are being used to finance recrea-
lion programs for youth, Shelton '
note.s.

Claiming
Dependents'
Hints Given
GREKNSBORO, N. C. Many
parents have claimed their mar
ried cliildren as dependents only

evon though the parent furnish
ed the child's c-hief support.
J. E. Wail, District Director,

about when the child signs a
joint return with his or her
spouse. He stated that when a
taxpayer files a joint return he
may not be claimed as a depend
ent by another regardless of who
furnislKa chief support. Wall also
said that the filing of a joint re-
lurn becomes irrevocable after
the due date for the return (April
15) has passed.
He added,! however, that if a
joint return te filed by a husband
and wife onlj^ for the purpose of
receiving a )«fund of tax with
held and that neither the hus
band or wifelhaf gross income of
$600 Or motfe during the year,
then the parent is entitled to
claim his married child if he is
entitled to the credit.
