Tax Refunds For Teachers

Last April 4, the Treasury De-
partment revised its regulations
to allow tax deductions for
school teachers for expenses in
volved in furthering their educa-
ton at accredited institutions of
higher learning. These deductions
included the costs Of tuition,
books, fees, supplies and other
equipment. They also included
travel expenses while away from
home and the cost of meals and
lodging.
These changes in regulations
were retroactive and took effect
lust eleven days before the time
expired for the filing for refunds
on 1854 taxes. Because it was not
possible to inform all persons OF
their entitlement to refunds be-
fore the deadline date, Congress
provided in the Technical
Amendments Act of 1858. which
the President signed early in
September, that a refund for
overpayment Of 1854 taxes could
be made if a claim were filed
within sixty days after the
President signed the new legis-
lation. Thus, persons claiming
refunds for 1854 have until Nov
3, 1858 to file claims. Such claims
should be submitted on Treasury
Form 843 or through an amended
income tax return for 1854 or
the standard Form 1040. In either
case it is necessary TO attach 6
statement of the facts supporting
the claim. The nearest office oi
the Internal Revenue Service
can supply the forms and assis-
tance TO cnmnleta them.

Student Loans

Defense Education Act of 1898
which Congress passed IN us

wording. the law is intended ITO
indentify and educate more OF
the talent of our Nation" and to
insure trained manpower OF SUIT
ficient quality and quantity 10

of the United States"
The new law provides Federal
money to colleges and universe
ties to establish loan funds from
which needy students may bor-
row on reasonable terms for the
purpose of completing their ed
ucation. The funds are set aside
for the various States, with
Ohio's share of the initial ap-
preparation of Sc million amount
ing to $273,764. Within each
State, the funds are distributed
among all participating colleges
and universities. The response
bility of selecting students to re-
ceive the loans as well as for
their collection rests with the
schools. The law does require
that borrowers be full-time un-
dergraduate or graduate students
and that the individual loans be
needed to continue in school.

Special provisions are made for
superior academic backgrounds
who will teach in elementary and
secondary schools as well as for
those who show outstanding
ability in science, mathematics,
engineering, or modern foreign
languages.
Students may borrow up to
$1,000 in one year although the
entire amount may not exceed
$4,000. Repayment must begin
one year after the borrower
ceases to be full-time student
and must be fully repaid within
10 years. No interest is charged
while a student is attending
school. However, a rate of go
per year on the unpaid balance
is charged after he completes his
education. In the event of death
or total disability, the obligation
is cancelled. For a student who
becomes a teacher in an elemen-
tary school or high school, 50%
of the loan plus interest is can
celled at the rate of 1919 per
year for each year he teaches up
to five years.
1t is we'll for students seeking
loans to remember that it is the
school and not the Federal gov
ernment which has charge of

Local Accidents

Noble county's record of deaths from gen.
eral accidents is high, compared with that in
most other communities in the United States.
This is brought out in the annual report
of the National Office of Vital Statistics
made public recently. 1t takes into account
occupational accidents, drownings, death due
to gases and explosions, firearm fatalities,
falls in the home, motor vehicle accidents and
all other causes.
The data covers all such fatalities sus-
tanned by local residents, whether they oc-
Cured in their own community or elsewhere,
but does not include deaths locally of nom
residents
Among those living in Noble county, it
shows, there were 10 such fatalities in the 12-
month period ending January /, 1857. Of this
total, 2 were due to auto accidents
In terms of the local population, this was
equivalent to rate of IS accidental deaths
per 100000 people 1t was above the rate for
the United States as whole, Sc per 100000.
1t was also above the State of Ohio rate
of 54 per 100000.

A recent report from the Colorado
Springs (Colo) Chamber of Commerce tells
how to have ghost town. 1t is an interesting
tongue-in-cheek report that will hold just as
true in our town as it does in that town
1t went as follows:
Results are certain for those working to
create more Ghost Towns" if these simple
directions are followed either by accident or
design. Hundreds of former thriving COM
munities which are now silent towns prove
there is more truth than poetry to the simple
statement "It Could Happen Here"
Here are methods proved by experience
to guarantee bankruptcy, insanity, disap-
pointment, suicides-all by-products of ghost
towns
l. Tell everyone you meet that you never
buy anything at home; the merchants are a
bunch of crooks robbers and cheats.
2. Belittle all efforts for community bet
terment-the people trying to do these things
are secretly making lot of money, want to
run things and their way of doing things
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1958-10-23

is all wrong anyway.
3. Never waste money by advertising or
waste time trying to attract trade to the
town-nobody reads the ads, there is never
anything in the paper, it's always late, and
why should anyone want to come to town
it's dead place.
4. Turn down all appeals for contribu-
tions; and do it in nasty way SO you won't
be bothered again, because the money col
lected is eventually stolen by some "higher-
ups" anyway.
S. Refuse to serve on all committees,
have nothing to do with civic organizations
the Chamber of Commerce never does any
thing and is run by bunch of dimwits who
want only to get their names before the pub
lie. All the village officials are in office to
get share of the graft
There you have it-five simple directions
for producing ghost town. It's hard for one
person to do it, but if you keep at it. even.
tually you'll get some converts, and a Ghost
Town.

NO FREE LUNCH

From now until November 4
would seem to be a good time
for all of us to read and re-
read the Declaration of Indep-

its Bill of Rights, and Lincoln's

competition. It's a time for us
to bear in mind that The

IT'S years than did all other
systems combined over thou
sands of years,
Most certainly this economic
system, which has produced so
much for us, must be constant
ly watched and inspected. We
must be everlastingly alert to
detect flaws as they appear,
and quick to repair those de-
fects. But just as when an
automobile develops a dirty
spark plug, we clean or re-
place that plug, rather than
throw the motor away; we
must make corrections in our
American system clean or
replace any dirty spark plugs,
rather than relegate that sys-
tenn to the scrapheap as its de-
famers suggest.
The one outstanding lesson
to be learned about the Ameri-
can system by him who takes
the time to study it, is that it
holds forth promise of reward
to the individual for any con-
tribution he may make to
society. 1t has proven indisput-
ably that the promise and ulti-
mate payment of such reward

cornerstone on which all pro
