Club Hears Talk By Mrs. Simons Mrs. Arthur St. Julian Simons of Columbia was guest speaker when the Newberry Garden club met last week at the Community Hall. Mrs. Simons, an outstand ing conservationist, gave an illus trated talk on native and wild flowers of the state. She has given this talk, which is sponsored by the Palmetto Garden club of the state, over 60 times in this state, Georgia and Florida, in the inter est of conservation of native and wild flowers. She is a member of the Columbia Garden club, is on the Conservation committee of the Garden Club of America and is an accredited flower show judge. She is also a member of the Land scape Design Critics Council of South Carolina. Mrs. Simonji opened her lec ture with slide of the “Keep Highways Clean” sign which, she said, is important to conservation. Other slides showed flowers from beginning of the blooming season m early spring, continu ing thruout the summer. Among flowers pictured were bloodroot, yellow jessamine, lilies, wild primrose, wild crab apple, judas, dogwood, wild blue forget-me-not, jack-in-the-pulpit, red honey suckle, wild azalea, mountain laurel, black-eye susan, sea oats and holly. She ended the illustra tions with a picture of the state tree the Palmetto. Mrs. Simons was introduced by Mrs. Richard L. Baker. Mrs. J. E. Wiseman Sr., presi dent, presided during the business session and welcomed special guests, including members of the Newberry Council of Garden Clubs. Hostesses for the meeting were Mrs. J. Don Rook and Mrs. Clem I. Youmans, who served re freshments during the social hour. The 64th annual Reciprocity meeting of the Woman’s club was , held in the Community Hall on February 11. The president, Mrs. Scott Elliott, presided. After the collect was read by Mrs. John Chappell, Mrs. Elliott greeted the guests and gave a orief history of the club. Mrs. Sydney Carter in troduced the representatives of Newberry’s various women’s or ganizations and representatives of State organizations. A delightful group of songs was sung by Miss Sherry McClosky, accompanied by Miss Julia Richardson, both of the Music department of Newberry College. Mrs. H. B. Wilson, pro gram chairman, introduced the speaker, Dr. A. G. D. Wiles, and gave a brief summary of his ac complishments, activities and hon ors as a scholar, as a college ad ministrator, as an advisor in the field of education, as a church man, and as a highly successful teacher. Beginning with a colorful des cription of Shakespeare’s home and with a notation of the great vol ume of books written about Shakespeare, Dr. Wiles gave a most interesting and stimulating discourse on Shakespeare to a most appreciative audience. He launched the question frequently asked, “Why has Shakespeare en dured through the centuries?” He found the answer in six quotations which he skillfully read, from the plays of Shakespeare. From Por tia in “The Merchant of Venice” and from “Othello”, he gave evi dence of the playright’s great ness in portraying human emo tions. From the choice of caskets in “The Merchant of Venice” and from Prosper© in “The Tempest” came examples of the magnifi cence of the author’s thought. His unexcelled ability in the use of poetry and drama as a medium of artistic expression was cited by the speaker, using excerpts from “Romeo and Juliet” and from “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” These are the elements, engaging ly expressed by Dr. Wiles, which place the poet in a position with out parallel in the English lang uage and which assure his peren nial papularity. After the address, Mrs. A. J. Briggs, on behalf of the Woman’s club, presented a memento of the occasion to Dr. Wiles. The guests and members were then invited to a beautifully-appointed table for coffee, cakes, cheese thins and mints. In the center of the table was a lovely arrangement of glad ioli and stock in the club colors— violet and lavender. The same col ors were displayed in an attractive flower arrangement on the speak er’s table. Coffee was poured by Mrs. A. G. D. Wiles and Mrs. Scott Elliott. ?n South Carolina in beer’s for good good You name your game, ping-pong or check ers, cards or chess. Play it hard, and it takes a lot out of you.

Income Tax Tips Interest and Taxes You can deduct certain interest payments on your Federal income tax return, Harold McLeod, Direc tor of Internal Revenue for the Columbia district, said today. If you elect to itemize deduct ions you can deduct interest paid on personal debts, he said, includ ing interest on bank loans, home mortgages, and delinquent taxes. You also can deduct a portion of so-called “carrying charges” paid on installment charges of auto mobiles, television sets, etc. where the carrying charges are separate ly stated but the interest charge cannot be determined, he added. In addition, the Revenue Act of 1964 extends this treatment to carrying charges paid in deferred payments for educational services purchased from an educational in stitution by its students. The de duction is limited to the amount equal to six per cent of the av erage unpaid monthly balance on the installment purchase, or the portion of the total carryfrig charge allocable to the year, whichever is less. Sometimes money is borrowed on a discount basis. That is, the interest is subtracted in advance and you sign a note for an amount larger than you receive. You may deduct this discount as interest only as you make payments on the note. However, taxpayers cannot de duct interest paid in money bor rowed to buy tax-exempt secur ities or single-premium life in- another person if the taxpayer has no legal obligation to pay it. The Revenue Act of 1964 extends this denial of interest deduction, sub ject to certain exceptions, to life insurance, endowment, or annuity contract purchase plans which contemplate systematic borrowing of part or all of the increase in each value of such contract. Document 5074 which furnishes more detailed information on this subject is available upon request from the InternaL Revenue Ser vice. You may deduct certain state and local taxes on Federal income tax returns. The District Director explained: If you elect to itemize your de ductions, you CAN deduct personal property taxes, state income taxes and real estate taxes. You can also deduct state or local general sales taxes, and state gasoline taxes. The Revenue Act of 1964 gener ally denies the deduction of taxes of auto license fees. The total state sales tax which you paid is deductible. If you fail ed to keep accurate records of purchases to which sales tax ap plied, you may deduct the amount indicated on the Sales Tax Table published by the Internal Revenue Service. If you had state income taxes withheld from your salary, or if you made estimated state income tax payments, you can deduct the amounts the year in which with held or paid if the tax was not withheld. A refund of state income tax, real property tax, or other taxes must generally be included in your income in you deducted such taxes on your Federal income tax return for the year in which you paid them. In most, you cannot deduct spec ial assessments for payments or other local improvements, includ ing front-foot benefits, which tend to increase the value of your prop erty—nor can you deduct Social Security taxes paid on the wages of your domestic help. McLeod said you may not de duct customs duties or Federal excise taxes on services or ar- jewelry, cosmetics, telephone, or family use, such as automobiles, jewelry, cosmetices, telephone, or airline, rail or bus tickets. Document 5075 which furnishes more detailed information on this subject, and document 5333, Sales Tax Table, are available upon re quest from the Internal Revenue Service. ••••••••••• 2 Dean Manion THE MANION FORUM •••••••••••♦•••••A** There is a new organization spreading across the country, principally aimed at college cam puses, called the “DuBois Clubs.” The name commemorates W. E. B. DuBois, the Negro intellectual who lived most of his life in this country and who died recently, af ter having become formally affil iated with the Communist party. The purpose of the organization is to influence the minds of Am erican youth by Communists, and it is open and undisguised in its methods. Such an organization is much less dangerous than the “soft-sell” left-wing approach used by the so- called intellectual Leftists gentr- ally on our college campuses. One of the latter type of organization is the National Student Associa- tio, which purports to represent the majority of American college students, and it follows a line closely analogous to that of the Communist party. Among other things, the NS A advocates the abolition of the House Committee on Un-American Activities; a re-examination of the Internal Security Act of 1950, with an eye to repeal; the cessa tion of all economic and military aid to all Latin American coun tries that do not measure up to the leftist standards of govern ment, but who are our allies. They have said nothing about stopping aid to Communist Pol and, Yugoslavia and Cuba. Fortunately, many colleges have leaders among the students who have discovered the real nature of NS A and who are doing what needs to be done to counteract its influence among students. Several groups have been formed to ad vance the principles of Conserva tism among college students. One of the largest and most effective of such groups is the “Associated Student Governments of the Unit ed States of America.” The mem bers and leaders of this organiza tion know that they are the heirs of the American heritage, t he greatest fortune of freedom ever put together on earth. They want to be sure that this great trust fund is not wasted by the spenders and the improvident politicians who show such a disposition to scatter the whole fortune to the four winds. Conservatives are the real pro gressive people of our time. They recognize that they want to pre serve the opportunity to be suc cessful and the opportunity to be free. It is important to provide the open door through which men can travel at the speed of which they are capable. Only Conserva tism offers that opportunity and most young people understand this. When they understand it, they will work hard to throw off the restrictions and limitations up on their freedom which is imposed upon them by ritualistic Liberal ism. others. You can count on fish swimming in the waters and birds filling the air. You can depend on the fact that boys see pretty girls and fall in love and babies have a deep and abiding love for their mothers. All of these are things that you can be sure of, but there are two things which you cannot depend upon. You cannot put any trust in the past, nor can you rely upon tomorrow.. There is nothing that you can do to recall the past, be it joyful or sad. Things that you ' have done .either good or bad, have all passed and nothing you do can change them. The good you did left its mark of influence and the evil you did left its scar for etern ity. The past will never be yours again and you have no assurance that tomorrow will ever come. Tomorrow belongs to God. Today is the only certainty that you have and to mis-use it is a sin. The Bible says, “TODAY if ye will hear His voice, harden not your Are you listening? ARE YOU LISTENING? A man was recently overheard to say, “I’m no gambler. I only bet on sure things.” Thinking in this light we need to see that there are some certainties in this world. You can rest assured that fire is going to burn or that rain is going to be wet. You can always depend on ice being cold and flow ers being beautiful. You need not be a gambler to know that the sun is going to shine by day and the moon and the stars by night. You can be absolutely certain that the earth is turning constantly on its axis, and the comets are pass ing through the heavens without interfering with the orbit of the RITZ Theatre THURSDAY Charles Aznavour, Marie Dubois Shoot The Piano Player FRIDAY, SATURDAY, MONDAY AND TUESDAY Cary Grant, Leslie Caron, Trevor Howard Father Goose CLOVER LEAF Drive-In Theatre FRIDAY and SATURDAY He Rides Tall Tony Young, Jo Morrow, Dan Duryea SUNDAY Kisses For My President Fred MacMurray, Polly Bergen Rev. ROBERT H. HARPER RECIPROCITY M r. Emerson has written that bolts and “bars are not the best of our institutions, nor is shrewdness in trade a mark of wisdom.” Of the statement we may constantly be reminded^ though we may be careful te lock our homes. But the fact to- be noted is that time works against the effort of the offender and that he leaves his fingerprints on everything he touches. Life is such that a man cannot escape from the eyes of his fel lows without leaving traces of himself behind him. How, then, can he escape from the eyes of God? When we consider that the rays of a distant world striking: our eyes tonight have been traveling here, at the rate of 186,000 miles a second, for a hundred years, we get a faint impression of the vastness of the universe that God has created. And in all the universe there not a place where a man can hide from God! And, if perchance, a man might hide himself somewhere apart from man, God, a minister of conscience would hurry him to the bar a thousand voices within him cry, “Thou art the man!” But there is a brighter side to the law of reciprocity. For it also applies to good deeds. Men are urged to cast their bread upon the waters, as knowing they shall find it after many days. Great as the assurance that the good will be returned upon your head, you are to be good, first of all, because God is good, and wills that you to be good. Smateey Says: Forest fires hurt us all!
