Tree Repairs Due to Storm
Muy Be Tux DeductibIe

The cost of repairs to trees
and shrubs in q hurricane or
other wind. ice or snow storms
Is now regarded as an income
tax deduction item.
Reporting this, o. w. Spicer,
president Of the Bartlett Tree
Experts, says "the repair out
lay is permissible only to the
extent that it restores property
to its original condition. Re-
ceipted repair bills must ac-
company such casualty claim.
Major shade tree losses,
especially when priced trees
were blown down or shattered
beyond repair. can be claimed
as deduction provided the
losses diminish the value of
the property on which the
trees stood. Then the amount
usually allowed Is the differ
ence in value Of the property
before and after.
The burden Of proof is on
the tree owner. Before" and
after" appraisal affidavits by
tree specialists, real estate ex-
perts. foresters or horticul-
|turists are necessary. Before
and Immediately after photos
showing the damage are help
full.
II trees are insured, how
ever, and the total loss thus
compensated by insurance. no
income tax deduction is al
lowed. But If the loss is only
partially covered by insurance,
then the difference between
the total and that reimbursed
by insurance may be allowed
as q tax deductible claim.

Genes Control
New CoIors

If q rose hybridist crosses q
white rose with q red rose, win
the new variety be q pink one?
Yes" say many gardeners,
but mo" is the correct reply,
according to the men who spe-
cialize in rose geneticS, the
All America Rose Selections
hybridizers.
A gene is the microscopic
unit that carries and controls
certain inherited characters
tics. The inherited or trans
mitted color genes Of the parent
roses determine the new color.
Some of these color genes domi-
nate while others are recessive,
Pink to rose-red. light yellow
and cream genes are dominant
Dark red. orange. scarlet, dark
yellow and white are recessive.

not until the leaves Of the roses

to move them ''bare-rooted."

Mist Blanket

Oftentimes dahlias and other
tender flowers can be protected
for q night by letting the
sprinkler run all night. Ever
though ice may form on the
plants they will not be injured
and the water will wash the ice
on before the sun does any
damage. The sprinkler should
be set to throw a fine mist
rather than q heavy watering.
The latter is likely to water
log the soil and cause rot If not

LETTER TO EDITOR

written the editor a letter in
answer to that published by the
Election Commissioner concern
ing the voting in the lower Yukon.
We quote from the letter as
follows:
Mrs. Carrie McLain, Election
Supervisor of the NV. District,
has nicely solved the problem as
l suggested. She has sent out a
form letter to be sent in by those
who wish to vote absentee with
the address on it. would further
suggest that similar form letters
be sent to all the outlying viii
lagos for November is mink hunt
ing season and many will want to
vote absentee.
1t is obvious that more people
will be able to vote in the next
election, SO a good purpose has
been served. Congratulations Mr..
Preston for having election super
Visors who keep pencils with
erasers.
l wrote that eight villages re-
ceiVed no word on how to vote
absentee-this is a fact. l esti-
mate that over 300 people were
unable to vote. This is a con-
sentative estimate for the lower
Yukon only.
Let's keep the record straight.
stated that no instructions were
received on absentee balloting. A
lack of understanding of the con-
ditions of the coast is the reason,
and I certainly have never ac-
cused anyone of preventing peo-
pie from voting. I do not feel that
the Postmasters should handle
the voting, only that, since they
have handled it in the past, it
was obvious that they should have
been contacted to communicate
the change, or that some respon-
sible person should have been
contacted to explain the new pro-
cess.
In answer to Mr.. Charles Pres
tons letter of Sept. u, l prefer
to write with a pencil with an
eraser in order that mistakes may
be corrected. All except mis-
marked ballot We're counted in
Guiding the sample ballots which
We're used because there were not
enough regular ballots. That peO-
pie were turned away because
they ran out of sample ballots and
didn't know they could use any
type of paper, is fact.
This is the only election where
requests for absentee ballot-cards
were sent out by interest groups.
OF course the natives of the coast
are not average SO they received
none. A careful check with the
native councils of the villages that
didn't vote is advised.
Mr.. Smith also enclosed copy
of an affidavit, which is repro
duced here:
Kwiguk, Sept 81, 1860
To whom it may concern:
On August 9th, l asked Felix
Moses to take me to Alakanuk,
because we had no gas. l wanted
to vote.
Then we went down to Alaka-
nuk and we went up to the Post
office. Jacob went in and he voted
but they had no more ballots
so me, Felix Moses and Angus
tine, Agnes couldn't vote. So we
went home by kicker and we felt
bad. Some others came too but
they didn't vote too.

Our ballet season, which has
provided a varied sampling of
a number of exotic forms of
the dance as it thrives around
the globe, takes us now to Chi
cago, a fort out there on the
fringe of the Indian country.
The art Of the dance is doing
just fine on the frontier. too.
if Ruth Pages Chicago Opera
Ballet, appearing last night at
Lisner Auditorium, is a fair
example.
This is a company that de-
serves a larger audience than
it had last night. 1t has a great
deal to extraordinarily, COL
orful staging, a breezy verve
and skilled dancing. The major
work offered last night was
Camille" ballet of both size
and impact, choreographed by
Miss Page to Verdi's "Traviata"
music. Also programmed were
a sprightly diversion called
"Idylle" and another of Miss
Pages adaptations from the
stage. The Merry Widow"
Scheduled for 8 pm. today
at Lisner are Carmen" the
pas de deux from Theme" and
a reprise of THE Merry Wild
ow." If you're a ballet addict,
don't cheat yourself out of this
one.
The Chicago Opera Ballet's
Camille" has met a first rate
heroine in Melissa Hayden,
last here with the New York
City Ballet. The role of the
younger Alexander Dumas ill
fated Paris courtesan has
served many an actress we'll.
and Miss Hayden'S name has
to be added to the list of those
who have done right by her.
/ In addition to being a dancer
of grace and skill and having
the power to produce sudden
delight with a surprise move,
Miss Hayden proves to be a
pantominist of some scope. Her
Lady of the Camelias covers a
wide range of emotions and
Miss Hayden'S evocative acting
projects each effectively, often
subtly with a simple move OF
a mere glance.
Camille is surrounded, OF
course. by a considerable COM
pany of varied types-a gallery
of characters brought to life
last night by Kenneth John
