pressed her ire at hearing de-

press, usually from a non-sub-
scriber, only later to be courted by
the very person who made the re-
mark for extensive coverage Of
the daughters wedding or some
other social event Of a personal
nature.
She talked modestly about the
role Of the press in shaping our
history and received a warm ova-
ton from the luncheon guests who
were there to honor MoIlie Moon,

CARNATIONS offer q variety OF
business courses In Advertising,
finance. marketing, manage
ment development, executive
training, etc. These may be
given on . non-credit basis or
toward. say. a Master Of Bust
ness Administration degree. II
people already In business take
such courses TO improve or
maintain their skills, they
should be able to deduct the
fees whether they are employees
or self-employed owners Of q
business.
Professional men already
have been able to deduct the
cost Of refresher courses, such
as the Practicing Law Insti-
tute sessions, various univer-
Sity forums, etc. But the new
regulations will allow even more
for them. Some universities
conduct graduate professional
courses. either on a non-credit
basis or toward a higher degree.
Accountants and lawyers, either
employees or self-employed, who
take these courses should be
able to deduct them even if
they lead to a degree.
Under the new Treasury rule,
if the course is of the deduct
ible type, you can deduct not
only the fees; you also can
deduct the costs of travel,
meals and lodging while away
from home to take the course.
But when you take these ed
ucation expenses as q deduction
on your return, you must item
ize your deductions. You
can't deduct the fees, books,
ETC., if you take the fiat 10
per cent optional deduction.
Your travel, meals and lodg-
ing expenses while away from
home to take the courses,
though, can be deducted
whether you itemize your de-
auctions or take the fiat 10

YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
Income Tax Series-V

Business and professional
men now have a new tax deduc,
ton for education expenses a
an incidental result Of thu
Treasury's decision in 1858 Il
help school teachers with theil
educational expenses.
The whole thing started with
a hassle over whether teachers
could deduct the costs Of takinl
certain summer school courses
When the litigation was ovel
the courts had clearly set W
this rule: II the teacher was
required by law or by the schoo
administration TO take q course
as a condition of keeping hei
job, she could deduct that cost
but II the teacher voluntarily
took such courses, she couldn't
deduct it.
The Treasury finally decided
to go along. but it gave far
more and went further than
the cases called for. And that's
how business and professional
men come to share in the more
liberal deduction rules.
Instead of restricting its new
rule to teachers, the Treasury
took the general position that
any person can deduct any costs
of education which maintains
or improves the skills he needs
in his employment, trade or
business If it's customary for
other established members of
his trade or business to take
such courses, that in itself will
be considered evidence that the
education does improve or
maintain the persons skill.
Note particularly that the
deduction no longer is limited
to education which is required
by the persons employer or by
the law. Even if the person vol
UNFAIRLY takes courses which
meet the test Of maintaining or
improving his needed skillS, he
can take the cost as a de-
duction.
While this new rule is quite
liberal there are still some lin
its on the deduction. You can't
deduct the cost of courses
taken:
Primarily to get a new or a
substantial advance in posi-
ton; primarily for general or
other personal education; or
To meet the minimum re-
quirementS for qualifying or
establishing yourself in your
intended trade or business or
speciality therein.
AS an illustration, a student
can't deduct the cost of his
undergraduate college course
because that's intended to fur
nish a general or personal edu-
cation or possibly to qualify
the student to enter a trade
or business.
For similar reasons, a junior
accountant who takes courses
to help qualify as a CPA or a
law clerk who takes courses to
help him pass his bar exam
and qualify as a lawyer can't
deduct these education costs.
But consider the many
courses for which a business or
professional man can get a de-
duction under the new rules.
Many colleges and other or
