The following are examples of items which must j be included in income: Alimony, i business income, dividends, wages, bonuses, jury duty fees, debts forgivep, rents, etc. If you sold an automobile, re frigerator, Hi-Fi, or other per sonal property, the gain on the sale is subject to income tax. Losses from such transactions are not deductible on your return. Al so, income from a hobby must be! included in your return, but loss- j es sustained in conducting a hob by are not deductible. Prizes won in any contest are J ■ taxable. Prizes and awards in goods or services are included in income at their fair market value. Where an individual refuses to accept a prize, it is not included in his income. Refunds of taxes or medical ex penses for which you clain.ed a deduction in a prior year are re ported as income in the year re funded to the extent of that part which caused a decrease in your tax for some other year. If you used the standard deduction or the Tax Table in the year they were paid or incurred, the recov ered amount is not income. Some amounts which you should not report on your income are: accident and health insurance pro ceeds, life insurance proceeds, mil itary allowances, sickness and injury payments, clergymen’s ren tal allowances, workmen’s com pensation. Gifts, bequests, or inheritances received by you are not income. If property so received later pro duces income of a taxable nature, the income is taxable to you. Social Security benefits receiv ed monthly or in a lump sum are not income, whether you receive them because you are of qualified age, disabled, or as a dependent of a qualified worker. Similarly, unemployment benefits paid to you by a state are tax exempt. Strike and lockout benefits paid by a union from union dues, in cluding both cash and the fair market value of goods received, are includible in income unless the facts clearly show that such benefits were intended as a gift. Scholarship and fellowship grants are generally tax exempt. However, payments to enable you to pursue studies or research pri marily for the benefit of the grantor are not scholarships o r fellowship grants. The value of room and hoard furnished by an accredited school of nursing to a student nurse is a scholarship. Benefits paid by the Veterans Administration to veterans and their families are exempt from tax. Veterans’ insurance proceeds and dividends are not taxable ei ther to the veteran or his heirs. However, interest on dividends left on deposit with the Veterans —^— Administration is taxable. Income in any form other than cash is reported at the frir mar- het value of the goods or services received. For example, if jou received from your employer shares of stock for which you paid less than fair market value, you must include in income the difference between fair market value at the time you received the shares and the amount you paid. Likewise, you must pay tax on the fair market value of any stock received qptright from your employer for which you did not pay.

WE WOULD LIKE TO BE YOUR AGENTI 1418 Main Street Phone 276-1422 BY-THE-WAY . . . (Continued from page 1) torious torturers and mass murd erers of the Batista regime died before firing squads.’ ” Philbrick asks: “Did not Lee Harvey Oswald” (a self-described official of the Fair Play For Cuba Committee), “crouched in a dark window of a warehouse in Dallas, see himself holding in his grasp a ‘revolutionary rifle?’ Were not the three, sharp shots which rang out on November 22, in the ears of Lee Harvey Oswald, ‘noble noises of the fidelistas’? And did not the bullets sped on their way, in the eyes of Lee Harvey Oswald, seek out ‘a cruel aggressor, bent on mayhem’? . . . The great tragedy V 1 . was that he believed the awful words of Robert Tabor . . . And, the greater, ironic tragedy is that while Lee Oswald took the words of Tabor seriously, many of the advisors of the President did not.” Conservative groups repeatedly urged Robert Kennedy’s Justice Department to investigate the Fair Play For Cuba Committee, which the Senate Internal Secur ity Sub-Committee had learned was being financed by Castro. But the Justice Department refused to list the Fair Play For Cuba Com mittee as subversive. A UPI dispatch from Washing ton on March 7, 1962 said: “At torney General Robert F. Kennedy said yesterday the Communist Party is a ‘windmill’ virtually powerless to hurt the government. He criticized ‘hysteria’ about the Party’s activities. ‘They can’t do anything to us’ . . . the President’s brother said.” A leading authority on Com munism and one of the Kennedy’s chief advisors, Victor Reuther, ad vised Bobby Kennedy that “the radical right poses a far greater danger to . . . this country . . . than does the domestic communist movement.” Reuther wrote, ‘The radical right or extreme right-wing, or however it might be designated, includes an unknown number of millions of Americans of view points bounded on the left by Sen ator Goldwater and on the right by Robert Welch . . . What is need ed are deliberate Administration policies and programs to contain the radical right from further ex pansion and in the long run to re duce it to its historic role of the impotent lunatic fringe.” Reuther proposed that the “radical right” organizations be placed on the At torney General’s subversive list and that their ranks be infiltrat ed by the FBI. Ironically, Kennedy was murd ered just before he was to make a speech condemning conservatives. Imagine what Bobby Kennedy would have done had the killer been a conservative. Oswald had planned an escape to Mexico. He was caught almost by accident. If he had escaped, even members of the D.A.R. wouldn’t have been safe. It is not indulging in fantasy to imagine the government round ing up all “rightists.” The murder of the President by a pro-Castro comrat should be a warning—just as heart flurries are an impending warning of a possible massive attack—to the en tire free world that the commune ists will stop at nothing. Why don't we unite in demand ing the arrest, jailing and depor tation of all communists and oth ers who advocate the violent over throw of our constitutional Repub lic? Why don’t we cut off all re lations with all communist coun tries and their satellites until their slaves are freed? Why don’t we quit paying the bills for our own destruction in the United Na tions, thus killing it, and then join a world organization compos ed only of nations which believe in and practice the freedom and dig* nity of the individual? If the American people are to blame for what has happened, it’s because we kept our heads in the sand, and refused to believe that there is a communist menace with in which is boring relentlessly to bring about our enslavement. If we are guilty, it is because we as a sovereign people have permitted our government to coddle subver sive agents. If we are guilty, it is because we’ve been “too busy” to worry about the calculated under mining of our morality, our reli gion, our patriotism in our schools, churches, government and communications system. “Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide, In the strife of truth with falsehood, For the good or evil side.” AUDITOR’S 1964 TAX ASSESSMENT NOTICE Returns of personal property, boats, motors, trailers, mobile homes, real property, new buildings and real estate transfers and poll tax are to be made at the County Auditor’s Office, beginning: January 2nd, 1964 through February 29th, 1964 All able-bodied male citizens between the ages of twenty- one and sixty are liable to $1.00 poll tax.
