Civic Assn
Meeting To Be
Held March q

The monthly netting of the
Rockville Civic Association will be
held Monday, March %, at 8 p. m.
in the Board of Education Room Of
the Social Agencies Building. Tie
meeting date has been changed this
month because the fourth Friday,
when these meetings are usually
scheduled, happens to be Good Fri
day.
Hugh Dawson, President of the
civic group, will preside at bust
ness session, and Henry Miller of
the Citizenship Committee, will
present a discussion of how the
Association may help to get more
people registered to vote in the
town election this Spring. 1t is
feared that some citizens may have
the mistaken idea that registration
to vote in State and County cleo
tions also makes one eligible to
cast ballot in town elections. Of
course this is not true, as a sepa-
rate registration must be made. See
registration dates elsewhere in
paper.

Where's Ny Coat? :

Men-if you attended serv-
ices at one of the churches in
Rockville on Sunday, March Z,
are you sure you put on the
right overcoat when you left ?
One of you didn't-for sure.
There's a man here in Rock
vile who would very much like
to have his own coat back. The
one left in place of his was
very much the same kind of
coat, but his happened to be
new one, worn only three
times. So, fellows, all of you
get out to church again this
Sunday, and be sure to wear
your coats!

Hospital Board
Will Plan Open
Air Benefit

The Women's Board of Mont
gomery County General Hospital,
composed of women from all parts
of the county, at its March meet
ing, decided to hold an open air
benefit of some kind this summer
instead of the regular hospital
supper. Mrs. Fred Gilpin was
named chairman to arrange for
the event.
The president, Mrs. Henry De-
Coursey Adams, conducted the
meeting which followed luncheon
served by a committee headed by
Mrs. William Stinson and Mrs.
Dorsey Downey.
The treasurer, Mrs. William
John Thomas, reported a total of
$1,674.30 in cash received on Dona-
ton Day in December, as well as
gifts of linens and a good supply
of food for the pantry. Total
amount for the year from proceeds
of the Bethesda Thrift Shop in
which the board is a participant,
was $2,606.S8. Since the shop was
established in 1943 it has turned
over almost $4,000 to the board
as its share of the profits.
The report of Miss Frances
Leishear, superintendent of the
hospital, emphasized the need for
the proposed new maternity wing
in the increasing number of births,
which last month reached an all
time high of AZ in 20 days. Despite
the continual rise in prices of ma
terials, plans are being completed
for the construction of the wing.
Admissions to the hospital during
the shortest month of the year
were 1873 which set another record
according to Mrs. Katherine Carr
who read the superintendent re-
port.

Woman Jurors
Get Lecture
From Judge

Judge Charles w. Woodward on
Monday disclosed at the opening
of Circuit Court that some women,
who recently began serving on
Maryland juries, resent questions
as to their belief in the existence
of God.
Opening the March term of
court, Judge Woodward said that
replies to court questionnaires on
qualifications for jury service in
dictated a misunderstanding by
some women. He explained that he
and Judge Stcdman Prescott were
not trying to "pry" into personal
matters when they questioned the
prospective Jurors, but that the
court had to have certain informa-
ton to make up the panels.
Judge Woodward explained that
the constitution of Maryland re-
quires belief in tie existence of
God before any citizen can be
qualified for jury service. He
enumerated various other require
ments.
Spectators were amused when
Judge Woodward said apparently
some of the women questioned pre-
ferred not to state their exact
ages.
The grand jury, which for the
first time included a colored wom-
an, Nellie C. Miles, is made up of
nine women and Ia men, one of
whom also is colored. Judge Wood
ward announced the appointment
of Thomas M. Garrett, dairy
farmer of Rockville, as foreman.
Approximately 80 presentments
were to be considered as the grand
jury went into session.
Grand jurors in addition to Mr..
Garrett are Hoffman D. Dodson,
Francis L. Thompson, Howard w.

boiler explosions, Ice, lightning and many
other natural physical forces.
Damage to your car is deductible when the
casualty resulted from someone elses faulty
driving Loss of your cash. jewelry, auto
mobile, furniture or other personal property
by theft can be deducted. But it must be a
theft. Merely losing or misplacing property is
not enough. Generally speaking, the amount
you may deduct for damage to property is
the difference between the value of the
property Immediately before and Immediately
after the casualty. The loss cannot be more
than the cost of the property.
MEDICAL EXPENSES. Too little under
stood is the deduction for medical and dental
expenses. Medical care is literally defined bv
the law. But your deduction is limited to
medical expenses above five per cent of
your adjusted gross income. Also, YOU
must actually have paid them in l947. OF
course, if you were reimbursed for these
costs in any way. you can't deduct
In totaling up your medical costs for the
year, you should be aware that the deduction
consists of much more than doctor, dentist
and hospital charges. Medical equipment and
supplies. such as ambulance hire, artificial
teeth, braces, eye glasses, crutches and hear
ing aids can be included. Your laboratory
examinations and tests, as we'll as ordinary
medicines, vitamins, tonics, and other drugs
are also part of this deduction. Asylum or
sanitarium fees are allowed And don't forget
your premiums or membership dues for
accident policies, health policies or group
hospital plans.
NuSCELLANE0US Besides these five spe-
cific deductions, there are many more.
Alimony paid under divorce decree or a
separation agreement is a deduction. So, too,
are your costs for financial and security serv-
ices or investment counsel. If any activity in
which you engage for the purpose of making
profit results in loss, that is deductible.
This, broadly, covers the deductions al
lowed. Unfortunately, there are many costs
you cannot claim. You cannot write off your
personal or living expenses. Medical expenses
w "O AHSAuOC IiiC SOSlS VI d CtIIleLeTy plOI or
funeral expenses. And premiums for life
insurance are not deductible. You cannot
deduct for domestic help without which your
wife could not work and so earn her income
But direct costs for earning income are
deductible. For example, if businessman
must entertain clients for business purposes,
ne may claim deduction for the COSTS Or,
writer may deduct for the cost of type
writer or for part of the rent when he uses his
home as an office. But communication costs to
work cannot be deducted Nor are work
clothes and their laundering costs deductible,
except for uniforms which cannot be worn
off duty. And you are not allowed to deduct
for scholastic courses taken to advance you
in your job. The End

VoU'vE only yourself to blame if you
Il overpay Uncle Sam on March Is. The
government assumes you will pay it only
what you owe, that you will not deduct less
than you're entitled to. I've worked with tax
payers for many years and know that too
many people don't know what deductions
they are allowed on their taxes. Or, very often,
they are too timid for their own good.
Just what do you owe?
First let's talk about the five specific classes
of deductions listed on your tax return.
CONTRIBUTIONS. Youmay deduct for con-
tributions paid to non-profit organizations.
Included here are your donations to churches,
hospitals, community chests and the thou
sands of other organizations devoted to
charity, education, and scientific effort. These
payments need not have been in cash they
include property turned over to welfare
groups. That might cover wide range of
assets - the books, clothing, food packages
you've turned in for organized charities.
But remember, you may deduct only up to
Is per cent of your adjusted gross income
INTEREST. Usually. you may deduct any in
terest you pay on your borrowings. That may
include all business personal and family
debts. Don't fret if the interest is to friend
or relative, or even to your wife. If your
loan was real and you paid interest, you can
claim the deduction. And watch, too, the
interest that is buried in your installment
purchases of cars, furniture, jewelry, etc.
TAXES. To get the allowance for taxes they
must be imposed directly upon you. For
example, the real property taxes you pay on
your own home can be used to reduce your
income tax. But if the property is in the name
of your father you cannot get the allowance
even though you paid the taxes.
Furthermore, the payment must be tax.
Dog. hunting and fishing licenses are not
taxes. Auto license fees and most state gaso-
line taxes can be taken off - not federal gas
taxes. State retail sales taxes are usually good
deductions. The rule is: as a buyer at
retail, you can deduct these taxes if they
are imposed directly on you, and if they
are separately stated. But there are so
many local variations that you should check
with your own authorities on this. State and
city income taxes are deductible Federal
excises such as admissions, transportation.
stamp taxes on securities used to be allowed
for deductions. But no more
LOSSES. Often neglected is the deduction for
your losses in uninsured casualties or thefts
You are entitled to whatever is not recovered
from an insurance company. That might
include fire loss to your home, your personal
property, or your car.
You can deduct for damage to your prop
erty by hurricanes, heavy rains, freezing,
