After the first of the year, money withheld from earnin>? will ho tansorl r?n thp now system which allows a flat $800 yearly exemption for both taxpayers and each dependent. In the past, an exemption of $1,000 has been allowed for each taxpayer and his wife, plus a $400 exemption for each dependent. To be claimed as a dependent. the individual must meet all the following qualifications: (1) receive his chief sunDort from and be denend ent upon the taxpayer. (2) have taxable income of less tha $800.00, (8) be under 21 years of ago, or regularly enrolled in an accredited school or college, or must bo physically or mentally incapable of self-support.

(Christ mas i Once again the Christmas Season is with us with all that it implies: good spirits, pleasant memories. family get-togethers, and the giving and receiving of gifts. But amid the fun of Christmas, let's not forget the reason. The simplicity of the expression. "Peace on Earth, good will to all." should be the standard not for Christmas alone but for every day of the year. And the New Year will be upon us as soon as the trees in your homes begin to look a bit tired and worn. With the New Year many of us will resolve to improve ourselves, our jobs, our homes, our family fortunes. As a comnanv wp ton strive to improve. With each year we attempt to provide the best personnel relations within our "Plant family." We strive to better our services and our products so that our customers will return again and again. The cus tomer. after all. is the real boss, and 1961 presents an excellent opportunity to acquire new customers and retain the old. Thus do we grow and improve and better our position as a ''Plant family." May it ever be so that free men in a free nation may work and live with peace and good will. wseasBessws . 1 S T 6 BULK RATE U. S. POSTAGE PAID Clinton, S. C. Permit N. 59 C. DECEMBER, 1960 .
