College Library
receives grant
Newberry College received
one of 69 grants of funds made
to college and university lib
raries by the Grants Commit
tee of the Association of Col
lege and Research Libraries, a
division of the American Lib
rary Asociation.
The grant was in the amount
of $1,200 and will be used to
ward the purchase of indexes.
This is the 12th year of the
ACRL Grants Program and
the first year since the incep
tion of federal aid under the
Higher Education Act of 1965,
Title II. The major portion of
the funds were allocated for
the purchase of books and per
iodicals to support the im
provement of library collec
tions, with special considera
tion being given to imagina
tive projects which are con
ceived as units within th(
library program and which
may be considered beyond the
means of, the normal library
budget.
Says Peephole
driving risky
Too many “peephole drivers”
have been spotted recently on
frosty mornings, the State
Highway Department observed
today.
Instead of cleaning off front
and rear window glasses com
pletely before leaving drivt-
ways, motorists often scrape
holes just large enough to peep
through. They may drive half
way to work with this kind of
limited visibility, risking an,
accident all the way.
Highway officials suggest'
that every driver make it a:
practice to clean auto window
glass thoroughly before leav
ing home, particularly the en
tire windshield. When the rear!
and side' vision is obscured, the 1
chances of an accident are
greatly increased. If a driver
cannot see another vehicle com
ing at him from a side street,
or conditions to the rear, he
cannot take the required eva
sive' action.
Also, there is an increased
danger of striking a pedestrian
or a child on the way to school
in the morning. This is espec
ially true when it is necessary
to back the car.
“Responsible South Carolina
drivers are pledging their de
termination to do everything
they can to reduce highway
fatalities during 1967 so won’t
you help by keeping your win
dow glasses clear?”, the
Highway Department asks.
Income Tax
Information
Q.—Is it true that IRS will
figure out your tax for you
when you file the short form?
A.—Yes, if your income is
less than $5000 and Form 1040
A is filed then IRS will com
pute your tax if you wish. We
will refund any overpayment
or bill you for any additional
tax due.
Q.—I married a widow with
two young children last sum
mer. Car I claim the children
as dependents?
A.—If you provided over
half the children’s support for
the year then you may claim
them as dependents. If your
wife provided over half their
support, she can claim the
children as dependents on her
separate return or they may
be claimed on a joint return.
Q.—Can I claim two exemp
tions for a dependent over 65?
A.—No. You may claim one
exemption regardless of the de
pendent’s age. The additional
exemption for being 65 or over
may only be taken by a taxpay
er filing on his own return.
Q.—Will it ever pay a cou
ple to file separate returns?
A.—There are a few cases
where separate returns will re
sult in a lower total tax liabil
ity than would a joint return
This might occur if one spous<
had large medical expenses or
if each had large capital losses.
If you want to check which
would be to your best advan
tage, compute your tax on a
joint return and separate re
turn basis then use the method
that produces the lowest tax.
Q.—Why do I have to put a
Social Security number on my
tax return ?
A.—The law requires persons
filing returns to furnish a tax
account number. Since tbe ma
jority of taxpayers already
have Social Security numbers,
these numbers are also used
for tax identification purposes.
Taxpayers who forget to list
their number will have refunds
delayed until the number is
supplied.
Q.—I teach in high school.
Under what conditions will
summer courses I take be de-
ductible for tax purposes?
A.—The courses will be de
ductible if the primary reason
you took them were: (1) for
the purpose of maintaining or
improving your present teach
ing skills, or (2) expressly re
quired by your employer to
maintain your salary, status
or job.
Q.—We lost a child in a traf
fic accident last year. Can we
claim him as a dependent for
the entire year or only a part
of it?
A.—If the child was your de
pendent you may take the full
$600 exemption for the year
of his death.
Q.—Do you have to be mar
ried to get the head of house
hold income tax rates?
A.—No you don’t. On page
3 of the 1040 instructions you
will find an explanation of
whether you qualify for these
rates. Head of household tax
rates cannot be used if you
are married and can file a
joint return.
Q.—I won a prize in the con
test run by the local filling
station. It was cash. Do I have
to report it as income ?
A.—Yes you do. Prizes such
as yours as well as money or
merchandise won in lucky num
ber drawings, radio and tele
vision quizzes or from any
sales promotional program are
taxable and must be declared
as income.
Q.—My name was misspelled
on the 1040 package I received
in the mail. How can I correct
this?
A.—Make the change on the
1040 you received by marking
through the error and entering
your correct name. It;; is help
ful for us to get the corrected
label back to aid in identifying
the error and making the nec-
esary changes. If your Social
Security number is misprinted
please correct it in the same
manner.
Q.—Are child support pay
ment deductible ?
A.—Child support payments
are not deductible to you nor
are they taxable to your for
mer wife. However, if you,
rather than your former wife,
provide more than one-half the
child’s support, then you may
claim the $600 dependency ex
emption on your return.
Q.—I have several W-2 forms
since I worked for several peo
ple last year. Should I attach
all of them to my return or can
I add them up and give you
the totals ?
A.—You should attach Copj
B of all your W-2’s to your re
turn, although only the total
need be entered on your Form
1040. Failure to do so will hold
up the processing of your re
turn and any refund that
might be due you.
Q.—I changed jobs last year
and now find myself driving a-
bout 30 miles a day to get back
and forth to work. Can I deduct
10c a mile for this driving?
A.—No. Commuting to and
from work is a personal ex
pense and is not deductible.
