This is the test of dependency.
Unless the money you. have con.
tributed during the year is enough
to make UP more than one-half of
a dependents living costs, you
might as well cross that person or
your list. He or she will not qualify
as dependent for tax purposes
and you will lose valuable $500
exemption on your 1857 return. ~
Taxpayers with children who
work part-time or during the sum-
iner should watch this angle closely.
It's not how much your child earns
during the year-it's how much he
contributes to his own support. The
law specifically states that a parent
may claim an exemption for child,
stepchild or. adopted child under 10
years OF age, no matter how much
he earned. provided the child de-
pended on the parent for more than
one.half Of his support.
Bank Child's EaTRings
Here is an important point 20
remember when you are trying to
decide whether you have con.
tributed the necessary amount: the
money a youngster banks or in.
vests is not considered to be q con-
tribution to his own support costs.
Check carefully to see how much Of
your child's earnings has gone for
his support. You may find that t
will save an exemption on the fam.
lily return IL you have him bank
his earnings for the rest of the year.
Supporting a Relative
II you have helped support a
relative during the year, see to it
that what you have contributed is
enough to permit you to claim an
exemption for this dependent. For
example, you may have paid ap-
proximately $3.50 of your mothers
$1,400- living expenses. BY con-
tributing another $55 or $50 to her
support before December 81, you
can push the total over the more
than-half mark of $500 and gain an
additional exemption.
Or, If you shared with others in
the support of a parent, take steps
now to insure that one of you can
qualify for an exemption. Make
sure, first Of all, that your COM
bined contributions were enough to
total more than one-half of the par
ent's living expenses Then, have
all the members Of the group that
contributed 10 per cent or more OF
the parents support sign Multiple
Support Agreements, granting one

marched, and all the navies that
ever were built, and all the parlia-
ments that ever sat, and all the
kings that ever reigned, put to-
gether have not affected the life
of man upon this earth as power

IN THE TIME OF The
thing that haunts me is that those
people who will be living in the
year 10000, for example, will look
upon us who are now living less
than 1000 years from the birth of
Christ as being neighbors to Him
in time, space and spirit. i.
And( if we are not close to Him
in the year 1867 or 1868, what may
we expect of our descendants who
will be so far from him-on a
purely time and possibly space
viewpoint-in the year 100000? X
UP BALLENTINE The man
in North Carolina who appeared
most like candidate for Governor
last week was L. Y. Ballentine,
Commissioner of Agriculture. He is
talking like one and acting like
one.
Well, if so, he will have to get
along without the help of Gov.
Luther Hodges. Also, Commission
er Ballentine and Sen. Kerr Scott
have not been bosom buddies for
several years now. But Ballentine
will Pill the farm vote, the teacher
vote, much of the labor vote, the
colored people do not dislike him,
and business is not opposed to him.
Ballentine, at So, is a Wake
Forest College graduate, former
State Senator, former Lieutenant
Governor, and by 1860 will have
served as Commissioner of Agri-
culture longer than w. Kerr Scott.
Like Scott, he is a dairyman, is
liberal. He is charter member
of the Fuquay Springs Post of the
American Legion. He doesn't use
tobacco. He is teetotaler.
DIFFERENT /. Anybody who
takes the time to be different with
Christmas cards in this busy day
and time should be complimented.
Mostly, it's the same old deal. But
we wager you love most the card
that was, different.

that the 1867 Christmas card was

THE CENTERPIECE Now
that Christmas Day is out of the
way, we want .to-at the risk of
appearing trifle trite to some
people-present here little state
supposedly written by Phillips
Brooks.
We hadn't read it until about a
year ago, and it may be that you
haven't, and it is good to read be-
fore, during or after Christmas:
"Here is man who was born
in an obscure village, the child of
a peasant woman. He grew up in
another obscure village. He worked
in a carpenter shop until he was
thirty, and then for three years
he was an iteinerant preacher.
"He never wrote book. He
never held an office. He never
owned q home. He never had a
family. He never went to college.
He never put his foot inside a big
city. He never travelled two hun
dred miles frem the place where
he was born.
"He never did one of the things
that usually accompanied great
ness. He had no credentials but
himself. He had nothing to do with
the world except the naked power
of his divine manhood. While still
a. young man, the tide of popular
opinion turned against him. His
friends ran away. One of them
denied him. He was turned over to
his enemies. He went through the
mockery of trial. He was nailed
to cross between two thieves.
His executioners gambled for
the only piece of property he had
on earth while he was dying. That
was his coat. When he was dead
he was taken down and laid in a
borrowed grave through the pity
of a friend.
Nineteen wide centuries have
come and gone and today he is the
centerpiece of the human race and
the leader of the column of prog

MEANEST :. Then, too, one of
the meanest things is to send some
acquaintance a Christmas card on
December % or December "a. He
gets it too late to respond. Best
thing he can do is try to find your
birthday, hope you will get sick SO
he can send you one of those get
well dudes, send you one of the
New Year things, or-this is the
best-just wait until next Christ
mas and send Christmas card on

UNIQUE Inc most unusual
and North Caroliniaish card we
have seen was sent out by the Bill
Shapes and shows on the cover
a beautiful black-and-white picture
of: "The Nativity, as depicted by
the Whittlers of Brasstown, N. c."
Unique-and beautiful. But-no
snow, no sleighs, no reindeer, no
verse, no tinsel, no green, and no
picture of geese flying.
DO 1T NOW! Now, this year
while there is still time-let's
promise ourselves to do a better
job with our Christmas cards next
year. Make them individualistic
even if you have to write note
on each, leave off the printed card,
for personal friends at least, make
them ring with sincerity, warmth,
or personal feelings.
Maybe more quality-and less
quantity. More time in preparation
and less money for easy getting
done. See what we mean? Agreed!
MAKING NEWS We have

eminent has, at best, only an out
side chance to survive until the
Presidential elections are held.
The country at present is ruled
by council of thirteen members.
These members were nominated by
Presidential candidates in a des-
perate compromise to bring about
some sort of stability until con-
stitutional President could be elect
ed.
The deep distrust of one candi-
date for another and, in most in
stances an active personal ami,
mostly are naturally being trans
mitted to their respective repre-
sentatives of the council.
Even if the council members
should be able to pull together, as
they appear to be trying to do,
the pressures being exerted on
them Individually and as blocs are
getting increasingly intolerable.
The agitation is meeting sympa-
thetic response frcm persons not
necessarily Buvalier followers.
There is mounting conviction that
the former Provisional President
is being deprived of his constitu-
tional rights by being held without
formal charges or opportunity of
early trial.
He has been held incommunicado
since April 2. On that date, he
and members of his family were
stopped by armed palace guards
when they attempted to leave the
National Palace. The unofficial
charge is that he had knowledge of
a terroristic bomb plot.
The Presidential elections origi-
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1957-04-20

nally scheduled for April % have
been postponed until the latter part
of June. There is widespread skep-
ticism that elections will be held
even them.
The three principal candidates at
the moment are DR.. Duvalier, Sena-
tor Louis Dejoie and Daniel Fig
mole.
One Contender In Hiding
Another principal contender was
Clement Jumelle. At last report,
he was hiding with an arrest order
over his head. The warrant charged
him of defrauding the Government
while he was Finance Minister in
the administration of Gen. Paul E.
Magloire.
In the gloomy and apprehensive
atmosphere of Port au Prince,
there are increasing demands that
some strong man take over the
Government on a dictatorial basis.
Attention is focusedS on Brig.
Gen. Leon Cantave, Army chief of
staff. He directed the Army rule
of the nation when General Mag
loire fell in December and again
after M. Sylvan was ousted.
General Cantave has said repeat
eddy that he has no intentions other
than seeing that the nation re-
mains peaceful.
NJ. Dejoie has often been men,
toned as possible strong man.
However, he had constantly advo-
Gated election of government by
constitutional processes.
Many are advocating United
Nations intervention. The desper-
alton of the people may be gagged
by the fact that the United States
Embassy has been approached by
private Haitian citizens to suggest
another occupation by United

Southern Law Officials
Are Turning Their
Backs On New Wave
Of Kan Terror,
Magazine Charges

New York, April 15-Law en-
forcement officials in the South are
ignoring new wave or terror and
crime by the revived Ku Klux
Khan, a national magazine charged
today.
Noting that the Khan is enjoy
ing its greatest resurgence since
the 1920's, survey in the new
issue of Look Magazine reported
that "for every Dixie official who
fights the Khan, a dozen turn their
backs on Khan intimidation"
"As in the 192O's, sheriffs and
police chiefs throughout Dixie, with
notable exceptions, treat Khan raid
ing parties gingerly, frequently
warning them against rough stuff
but seldom cracking down or ex-
posing known MEMBERS" the mag
azine said.
1t cited interviews with law of
ficers who denied knowing a single
klansman, although, within hours,
