Agriculture Department officials indicate. Eligible farmers will be^able to buy government-owned surplus grains at reduced rates under the program. Details, including the feeds, .prices and starting date have not yet been announced. “We don’t want to wait until a man is destitute” before allowing him to buy government feed, said Kenneth L. Scott, head of the Agriculture Department’s drought relief team. “But this program is not for people entirely in a posi tion to buy feed themselves.” Scott said this would rule out aid to" such well-to-do ranches as the gian King Ranch of Texas. Under a similar feed relief pro gram last year the King Ranch wbs able to buy 931 tons of cot tonseed pellets from the govern ment at half price. that Staley tried to avoid the ac cident.

New Tax Bill Allows Bigger Medical Deductions By Charles F. Barrett Washington — If medical ex penses are taking more than an incidental bite out of your pocket- book, you may get some help from another source: an income tax cut. ' * Bigger deductions for medical expenses starting last Jan. 1 in cluded in the giant tax revision bill just passed by Congress. They will show up in your 1954 income tax return. Under the new law you may de duct from your income, before fi guring your tax, medical expenses above 3 per cent of your income. It was 5 per cent under the old But there's another provision that may trim your benefits some what. Under the old law, all out- la/ys for drugs and medicines were included as medical expenses. Un der the new law you can count only those drugs and medicines which exceed 1 per cent of your income. And remember you don’t get any deductions for medical ex penses unless you itemize all your deductions. You won’t benefit if you take the standard deduction of 10 per cent of your income which the government oilers grat is to most tax-payers. Because of the medical allow ance and others, you may find you will ibenefit by listing your deductions next year although in the past you have been taking the automatic 10 per cent deduction. Another change would be an especially big help if you run into really extraordinary medical ex penses. Under the old law the maximum medical deduction was $1,250 per person, for yourself or your dependents, or up to $5,000 for a family. The new law doubles Birth Announcements GIBBS Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Gibbs anounce the birth of a son, Bob by Gene, on July 31 at the Bla lock clinic. Before marriage Mrs. Gibbs was Miss Kathleen Proctor. CALVERT Mr. and Mrs. Homer J. Calvert announce the birth of a son, Rob ert Olin, on July 31 at the Bla lock clinic. Mrs. Calvert is the former Miss Cora Lee Gosnell. DUNCAN Mr. and Mrs. Rodney L. Dun can announce the birth of a daughter, Lois Jean, on August 3 at the Blalock clinic. Mrs. Duncan was before marriage Miss Evelyn Dixon. CALDWELL Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Caldwell anounce the birth of a daughter, Vicky Elliott, on July 29 at Hays hospital. Mrs. Caldwell is the former Miss Ame Elizabeth Young. LEE Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Lee, Jr., anounce the birth of a son, Mal colm Macdonald, on July 29 at Hays hospital. Before marriage Mrs. Lee was Miss Jean Ann Macdonald, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. M. A. Macdonald. for the present. It will be advis able he said for any parents who wish to discuss this type of work with the superintendent to do so at the easiest possible time. The dess will have an enroll ment of only 12 to 15 students, with enrollment accepted in order of applications. mi per person and $10,000 for a family. Here are typical examples of how the change from 5' to 3 per cent (would work: If your income is $6,000, you now can deduct allowable medical expenses that run above $150. Under the old law, you could de duct only those expenses above $250. If your medical costs*were ac tually $200, you could deduct $50 under the new law but nothing under the old law. U your expens es were $260 or more, you could deduct an extra $100 under the new law. At the minimum 20 per cent tax rate, the extra $100 deduction would amount to a tax cut of $20. Your tax reduction would be greater if you are above the mini mum bracket, or if your medical expenses were above the old maximum deductions.
