rental value of a parsonage or
rental allowance furnished them
as part of their compensation and
(2) the value of meals and lodg-
ing furnished them for the con
venience of their employer. This
change in the law applies only to
the amount of a minister's earn
ings which are covered by social
security; il does not affect his IL
ability for income tax. This pro-
vision is effective for taxable years
ending on or after December 81,
1857.
Through misunderstanding Mil
bouer says, some non-profit church
related organizations enormously
reported the pay of certain or
dained ministers performing teach
ing or administrative duties, and
paid the employer and employee
social security taxes. The amended
law provides that the remuner-
alton reported as paid to these
ministers in 1855 and 1856 shall be
treated as If correctly reported and
not as net earnings from self-em-
ployment, to the extent that the
employer tax or employee tax was
not credited or refunded before
August 81, 1857.

Clergymen Covered
Under Social Security

Clergymen who have failed to
elect social security coverage as
self-employed persons now have
another chance to secure old-age,
survivors, and disability insurance
protection for themselves and their
families, Myron Milbouer, manager
of the Wilmington social security
Office declared today.
An amendment to the inter-
national Revenue Code gives them,
in general, from August 81, 1857
through April Is, 1859 to elect So
cial security coverage, he said.
Ministers who file waiver certifi-
Gates during this extended period
will be mandatorily covered for
1856 and for all subsequent years
In which they have net earnings
from self-employment of $400 or
more, including earnings from the
practice of their ministry.
In addition. Milbouer points out,
a minister who filed a waiver after
April Is, 1857 and before August
81, which was valid for 1857 but
too late to get coverage for 1856
may still get coverage for 1856 by
filing a supplemental waiver.
The law now provides that mini
sters will include as net earnings
for social security purposes, ~ the

Club

A beautiful lighted Christmas
tree was the focal point for all
eyes of the children and grand
children of the members of the
Milford New Century Club on Mon
day as they came with their mo-
theirs and grandmothers to enjoy
the party that is annually given
for their pleasure. The tree plus

On the House Top, played by the
Rhythm Band; Selection from "Nut
Cracker Suite, Rataplan; Song:
20 Come Little Children, Away
in the Manger"; Nelodie Bells
with Jingle Bells.
Mrs. Bennett then directed the
sixth grade chorus whose young
voices gave a special charm to the
old favorites, such as "Oh, Come
All Ye Faithful, Silent Night"
and 'Harki The Herald Angels
Sing"
Candy canes were distributed to
all of the school children as they
left for the bus.
The business part of the meeting,
conducted by Mrs. j. S. Willis, pres
ident, concerned the Goth luncheon

West Jefferson Home Economics Glass
HELPS Girls With Basic HoInemaking

Homes will mean more than
houses to West Jefferson High
Schools home economics girls if
they take seriously the work set
before them by Miss Jean Matson,
their instructor
The program outlined for the
final year is designed to give the
girls a basic insight of the many
parts of homemaking, from child
care to mending broken or worn
chair. And between these two ex-
tremes, the girls are taught to sew
and cook as well as the many other
phases of housekeeping, or better
still homemaking.
In the well equipped laboratory,
the girls have chance to familiar
ize themselves with today's most
modern equipment for homemak-
ers, as well as the old fashioned
"elbow- grease" methods.
In the kitchen phases Of their
training, they cook on modern
electric ranges with modern at
tachments to enhance the home
makers position, and the cleaning
porcelain adds the necessary note
of sparkling cleanliness when the
classes are finished
After introductions to the never
ending thimble and needle, the
girls are taught to use the modern
electrically operated sewing ma
chimes, and actually they gain con-
siderable proficiency with the
equipment. Some advance to the
point of making most of their own
clothing.
But there are still jobs which
require nothing more than hard
rubbing and scrubbing. The girls
were recently introduced to Such a
lob when they started a furniture
rebuilding project. They found that
mechanical sanding machines were
not made to fit the many cracks
and creviceS of older furniture =.
and they also found that it takes a
lot of sanding to remove the many
coats of varnish and paint which
stack up over the years on old fur
niture. Of course their work seems
worthwhile when they get through
the black, sticky varnish to the
beautiful, clear grain of fine wood,
Their hopes rise, ,-aRd they begin to
visualize the finished job a
thing of beauty, and done by their
own hands.
Actually, there is much more to
home economics than already men,

Thirty members responded to
roll call when the Alpha Gradale
Sorority held it's March IA meet
ing at the home of Mrs. Donald
Rebel. Hostesses for the meeting
were Mrs. Rebel, Mrs. Robert
Klise and Mrs. Ben Timmons.
Following invocation, Mrs. Paul
Cochran, program chairman, intro
duced the Rev. Sanford Lindsey,
rector of the Trinity Episcopal
Church of London, Ohio, guest
speaker of the evening. "A Visit
To the Holy Land" was his topic,
and with the aid of the slides in
color, taken when he made the
trip two years ago, he took his
audience to the scenes of many of
the well-known events of the Bib
le, including what is believed to
be the place of Jesus birth. the
hill up which He carried the cross.
and the location of His tomb. A
deeper, more meaningful under
standing of the Bible is possible,
the Reverend Lindsey explained,
when one sees the conditions and
customs of this land, which in
many ways are much the same
now as they were two thousand
years ago. One sees sheep and
goats in one flock, the tareS in the
wheat, and the desperating scar
city of water, so that it is literally
"the water of life.
He wildly described the suffer-
ing hunger and illiteracy that pre-
walls there now, stating that he,
like other visitors, was unable to
stomach his food, in the midst of
the hungry masses. He urged ev-
eryone, regardless of how they feel
about the leaders of these strife
torn countries, to have a concern
and an understanding for the<hun-
cry, suffering masses, and to be
always mindful that they, too are
Gods children.
A color scheme Of green and
appointments suggestive to St.
Patrick'S Day were carried out in
the refreshments served by the
hostess following the program.

Retiring at 65 years of age
didn't mean thing to Glen Post,
West Jefferson's night Merchant
policeman. At least if it meant
anything, Post has forgotten about
it in the 81 years whic h
have since become history.
Post. who turned S6 years old
last Saturday. didn't even stop to
think that he was any older ..
and he went ahead with his reg
ular nightly work just as he has
been doing for the past year.
Police work isn't anything new
to Post, because he has been in
some type of law enforcement act
ivity ever since he can remember.
His history runs from constable,
and deputy constable, to patrol
man, deputy sheriff and factory
guard. He only started the local
Merchant Police job about a year
ago, and at one time decided to
quit, but couldn't get away from
his chosen work
Although Post has full police
authority, he seldoms exercises
more than holding rights. He car
ries a loud whistle, has access to
telephones, and can put up a pref
ty fair race if he needs assistance
from the regular police force.
While hired under village sane
ton, he does not draw a salary
from the village Golfers. His pay
is determined by the number of
merchants, and private homes,
whose doors, alleys and Stairways
he checks during his many night
ly visits.
Village police credit Post with
much of the drop in misdemeanors
during the past year. And of cour-
sc, if the merchants did not ap-
preciate his benefit, they would
soon discontinue his pay checks.
Post came to West jefferson in
1919 for the first time. and has
since made it his home, despite
the fact that he owns property
(Which he rents out) near Colum-
bus. He and his wife live at 254
London Road. They have two chill
dren, both away from home, as

Players Club In
Midst OF Making
Quarters Better

The West Jefferson Players
Club held its regular meeting
Tuesday, March IL with IL mem
bers present.
The painting volunteers, Marsh
all, Olive and Dean Gibboney, Bet
ty Poulson, Betty Culp, John Can
ney, Bill Voss and Jim Murray,
got the renovatfng off to a good
start on March 9th and 10th. They
applied preliminary coats to the
wainscoating and part of the cell
ing, and already the room looks
much brighter It was decided to
paint the entire room due to the
great difficulty of reaching all the
way to the ceiling. The club also
decided to seek bids on having it
painted instead of doing the work
themselves. If this does not prove
feasible a further work schedule
will be announced later.
The members present discussed
informally the forthcoming musi-
cal production. Tentatively plann-
ed is a simplified version of a
Broadway hit such as South Pa
cific or Oklahoma. We are hoping
to enlist the aid of that fine sing
ing group, the Har1nonettes, and
other with musical talents in West

cookies and coffee were served
by Olive Gibboney.

That means that, on paper.
you show a smaller profit than
you in fact made and thus you
pay a smaller tax.
! In period of rising prices,
LlFO saves taxes for business
men--and the saving for big
corporations can run into mil
lions.
You well might ask, If it's
this good. why don't all business
men take advantage of it and
use LIFO?" !.
The answer is: Because prices
can go down too. And If and
when prices do go down, a cor
poration using LIFO would
theoretically at least, have to
pay more taxes. (And you
couldn't stop using LIFO without
the Treasury's permission.)
/ But with all the emphasis
today on the long-term outlook
for rising prices, the odds are
more and more companies will
adopt the method. And the
Treasury will be increasingly I'M
