Figuring Your Income Tax--4 4
Do You List all Exemptions
For Which You Are Eligible?
Do You

EDITORS NOTE: Your taxable
income is decreased 5000 for every
dependent you claim. So, it will
profit you to know just who you
can include as dependent on your
tax return. This article, the fourth
in the series "Figuring Your In
come Tax" explains what persons
may be counted as dependents.
BY JAMES MARROW
Associated Press STAFF Writer
Who's a dependent? That's
the $500 question. For each
dependent you can rightfully
claim-in filing your 1859 in
come tax return-you knock
$500 off your income before
what's left is taxable.
A dependent could be your child,
parent, some other relative, or even
a friend. The rules are different for
different kinds of dependents. Let's
get the friend out of the way first.
That's the easiest.
ent if he lived in your house the
full year, if no income of his own
amounted to $500, and if he got
more than half of his support from
you A paid servant in your house
is not dependent
You can't claim as a dependent a
stillborn child. But you can claim
one who was born or died anytime
in 1859, provided you contributed
to more than half his support in
that part of the year while he was
alive.
Your own child, adopted child or
| stepchild can be claimed as a de-
pendent if he got more than half
his support from you in 1859 and
even if he had 5000 or more income,
provided he was under 10, or, if he
was 19, he was a full-time student.
If such a child had that much in
come he'd have to file his own re-
turn, claiming his own $500 exemp-
ton, but you could still claim him
as dependent, get a $500 exemp-
ton for him on your return, and
not have to include his income in
your return.
If your child, stepchild or adopt
ed child received a school scholar
ship, it is not considered income in
determining whether you provided
more than half his support
But he is not considered full
time student if, for instance, he
had regular or part-time Job and
went to night school or took a cor
respondence course.
Further, you cannot claim an ex-
ira $500 exemption for a dependent
because he was blind or over 65.
A relative who got more than
half his support from you, and did
not have $500 or more income OF
his own, can be claimed as de-
] pendent. And he does not have to

THE DAYS OF MARCH

March is the month in which Winter dies
and in which Spring arrives. This is perhaps
its greatest distinction although many great
events are remembered in the month.
The massacre of Alama took place on
March 6, 1886, and on the 5th, in ITO, the
Boston massacre took place.
The first days of March are also renem-
bered as Nebraska State Day March II and
Texas Independence Day March y and as
the birthday of Alexander Graham Bell
March 81
Vermont Day falls on March each year,
and California observes ArbOr Day on the
anniversary of the birth of Luther Burbank.
The birthday of Oliver Wendell Holmes
falls on March 8. He was born in 1841 at
Boston, Massachusetts.
Albany became the capital of New York
on March 10, 1897. March IL is remembered
as Girl Scout Day.
And on the 9th, back in 1862, the Monitor
and the MeGrimac fought it out In their
classic battle. On the 18th, in 1857, Andrew
Jackson was born, on the North Carolina
South Carolina border st. Patrick's Day
falls on the 18th of March, and the 18th is
remembered as the day on which Grover
Cleveland was born in Caldwell, New Jersey,
in 1897 (And, not to forget it, West Point
was founded on the 18th in 1902, the same
day that is remembered as the birthday ami
versary of President James Madison, who
was born at Port Conway, Virginia, in 1751.)
The 10th was the first day of Spring this
year, and the 23rd is remembered as the day
of Patrick Henry's famous speech, which
was made in ITS.
Maryland was settled on the 25th, in 1884.
Ponce de Leon discovered Florida on the
9th, in 1913.
The 29th is remembered as the birthday
anniversary of John Tyler, who was born at
Greenway, Virginia, in 1870. On the Both
ether was used for the first time, in 1872
having been discovered by a country doctor

ted directly to the New York COM
puter center on teleprinter. In
New York, this information will
be received on punched tapes which
are quickly converted to punched
cards on an IBM tape-to-card ma
chine.
The information on the punched
card then is put on magnetic tape
which is fed into the computer.
The electronic brain uses this
taped information to update each
redemption center's inventory once
a week.
The brain then thinks ahead and
projects the data into a stock
status report twice month. This
is sent to the redemption centers
where it is used as the entry form
for the next stock replenishment
report.
But even beyond that, the COM
puter creates replacement orders
which are sent back to the distri-
button centers.
The computer's memory never
falters and if it wants more elec-
trio blankets in any city, il can
even tell the distribution center
where those blankets are located
in the warehouse.
It even has the needs of stamp
savers in the area estimated SO
finely that it tells the distribution
centers whether to ship full cases
or partial cases of individual items.
Trading stamps are big busi-
ness, the S & H official said. IS
& H each year issues more stamps
than the United States Post Office
Department, literally billions of
them.
But one of the main goals of
this big business is to serve the
housewife who saves stamps. It is
important to US that If she wants
an electric blanket or a tOaster,
she can get 1t now.
Never keep lady waiting, is
just as good motto now as It was
64 years ago..

Once any of those relationships
is established, they do not end
through death or divorce. For ex-
ample; you can continue to claim
your mother-in-law as a dependent
if she gets more than half her sup
port from you, even though your
wife died or divorced you.
None of the relatives mentioned
above has to live with you in order
to qualify as a dependent.
You cannot claim an exemption
for a married child who filed a
joint return with his or her spouse,
even though you provided more
than half that child's. support.

Dear Friends:
My only thought as | write to
you this morning is how lovely It
would be to be millionaire on a
! trip such as we have just taken
and are about to wind up! We
have not suffered too badly by be-
ing just what we are. but the loot
of a millionaire would have helped
especially in Chicago.
We left our lovely three daugh-
ters and Mother Dickerson the

peka later than planned and there

City, Mo-, the first evening. We
were quite shocked to find hotels
were filled to capacity in X. C.
due to several conventions. We
had planned for this in Chicago,
knowing it was the Convention
City, but didn't dream we'd have
any difficulty in this city SIS miles
from Topeka. Harry Truman's fa-
vorite hotel, the Muehlebach, was
filled and someone suggested the
Phillips, which is where we final
ly obtained room. After having
lived in Topeka for seven years
and being so near K. G. we had
never before eaten at the Golden

almost would be committing a sin
to order any of these. Hayes and

broiled steak we've ever eaten.
The hotel suggested that we see
Ben Hur for our evenings enter
tainment. We all have read reams
of columns and publicity articles
about this Biblical picture and ii
is supposed to walk away with all
the awards this year. We ordered
two reserved seats for five dollars
total and walked two short blocks
from our hotel to the theatre. An
employee of the theatre suggested
we see the projection room before

The Green Stamp Story

It takes 16 tons of complex cleo
tronic equipment to make sure a
housewife can get an electric
toaster in one Of Delaware's z
S & H Green Stamp Redemption
Centers.
In the future, a brand new elec-
tronic brain in New York will tell
Sperry and Hutchinson Company
OFFICIALS just where and when that
housewife is going to want to re-
deem filled books of green stamps,
and will give them a pretty good
idea of what item in the company's
line of nationally advertised mer-
chandise she's going to. want.
S & HIS new IBM series 700
computer is the electrOnic brain
which makes the decisions. In
stallation. of the computer was an
nounced last week.
With half of all the families in
the u. s., 25 million of them, now
saving S & H Green Stamps, the
company is faced with the massive
problem of keeping its 625 redemp-
ton centers completely stocked
with more than 1,500 items OF
merchandise.
Never keep lady waiting" has
been the S & H philosophy ever
since it was founded in 1896. II
that means calling on an electronic
brain to serve that lady, we do it,,
said Harry B. Albert, District Man
ager.
The data-processing tenn,
which includes a direct Western
Union wire network across the ma
ton, regulates a constant flow Of
merchandise from the company's
10 distribution centers to the re-
demption stores.
The distribution centers are To-
Gated in Chicago, Illinois; Fort
Worth, Texas; Metuchen, New
Jersey; Portland, Oregon; Los An
geles, California; Atlanta, Geor-
gia; San Francisco, California;
Lincoln, Nebraska; Natick, Mass
acnusetts; and Cincinnati, Ohio.
With the newly installed IBM
700 Computer, & Fl will be able
to process the inventory of the
average redemption center in
about six minutes so that inven-
tory adjustments can be made on
weekly basis.
The new unit replaces an IBM $50
Computer which had been process
in redemption center's inventory
in 90 minutes.
In contrast, only a few years ago,
before the advent of the computer,
it took several hours for New
York headquarters to process a
single inventory.
This new speed means that If
redemption center begins torun
a little low on electric blankets, the
computer will have an order on the
way Immediately for the distribu-
ton center to send more to that
center.
Here's how the system will work.
Four times month, managers OF
the redemption centers viii mail
reports to a data relay station in
the distribution center. These re-
ports show the merchandise re-
deemed for stamps.
Twice a month, managers of
S & HIS 25 merchandise offices,
strategically located throughout
the nation, will mail to the same
relay centers' level change" re-
ports which forecast future mer-
chandise requirements.

RECAuSE YOU GAVE

No prediction is safer than that, in the

disaster, personal trouble and privation
whose victims will need quick, and effective
help. Instances such as these:
Sam had been sick and out of job, but
he and Mary were getting by-until flood
hit their town. Right now, they need food
and place to stay for few nights. In weeks
to come, they will require food and fuel; they
will need money to repair their little house,
and to replace damaged furniture and cloth

any, got word that his father had been criti-
cally hurt in an accident at, the plant. Henry
needs someone to assemble the facts so that
he can get leave in hurry. Henry needs a
substantial loan to pay for his transatlantic
plane fare. To whom will be turn?
A child is screaming for help out in deep
water. Is there anyone on the beach capable
of swimming out to the rescue? Does anyone
know how to breathe life back into that little
girl when she is brought to shore? Who will
help?
To whom will they turn, these and the
thousands of others who will feel the weight
of harsh circumstance in the months ahead
They will turn to the Red Cross, as hundreds
of thousands have done before them. And
when they do, help will be at hand-not by
magic, but because you and millions of others

MOSCOW'S CHALLENGE

It has been a source of comfort that many
government leaders in the rising nations of
Asia and Africa received some of their edu-
cation at Western universities. Their ex-
periences at these institutions helped to de-
velop lasting appreciation of Western dem
ocratic ideals and principles. This has been
partly responsible for the good relations the
West has with many of these new nations.
Now the Soviet Union wants to get in the
act Moscow has announced its intentions of
establishing a free university especially for
foreign students. While it is not limited to
Afro-Asians, students from these areas will
be doubly welcomed.
The challenge could not be palmer. Rus
sia wants the leaders of the future to have
a Communist orientation. The effort may
have some success, since students will find it
difficult to turn down the opportunity for
free board and tuition.
The United States must meet this chal-
lenge without delay. We obviously cannot
offer free schooling to everyone everywhere.
But we can do much more than we are now
doing. This country ought to make certain
that no deserving young person goes to
school in Moscow because there is no place
for him here.

WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?

Who do you work for-and why do you
work?
The obvious answer, of course, is that you
work for your employer or for yourself, and
that the reason you work is to provide the
wherewithal of living.
However, that answer is an oversimplifia-
tion nowadays. If you are an average citi-
zen, more than quarter of your S-hour
working day is done on behalf of govern
ment. In essence, government is your en-
ployer during that period, and takes all of
your earnings.
Here are the figures, as issued by the Tax
Foundation. Taxes take 2 hours and is min
utes of your working time each day. BY way
of contrast, food and tobacco together, de-

and household operations hour and "a min

ment spending aren't of top Importance to
