INCOME TAX RETURNS State and Federal j. ed McConnell 1324 Washington St. Phone 276-2755 Exchange Club sponsors “Crunch Crime” month Right now tens of thousands of brightly colored posters are being tacked up all over the nation by some 50,000 concern ed men who belong to 1,200 Exchange Clubs in the United States and Puerto Rico. The posters carry a blunt, no-non sense, right-to-the-point mes sage for all Americans. “CRUNCH CRIME,” the post ers shout. Then in smaller but perhaps more ominous type the posters warn of the alter native: “s..Before It Crunches You!”. Hopefully the posters as well as the newspaper ads, the bill boards, and the radio and TV messages which the Exchan- gites are also disseminating will hit their mark. Hopefully, some of us will awaken to the fact that crime—killing, steal ing, robbing, assaulting, cheat ing—has been growing like a lethal tidal wave this past de cade and, if we don’t get se rious about doing something about it, it will sweep away much of what we hold dear. The news that crime is a na tional disgrace is not really new. It has become a popular campaign issue in recent years along with the sad state of our ecology. In fact the Exchangites themselves have been shouting the same warning for the past 24 years. The fact that despite their long efforts crime seem ingly continues to go uncheck ed does not dishearten them. The service club members gain satisfaction in knowing that things might be much worse if it weren’t for their almost quarter-century old campaign. But there’s a note of finality in their cry this year. “Crunch Crime” could almost be inter preted as preaching violence. What it really does is beg for action from “You!” And that means you—you and I and our neighbors and fellow citizens. It’s heartening to realize that we—you and I and all of us— do have the power to put the brakes on crime—to “Crunch Crime” if you will. We don’t have to form vigi lante committees or make an armed fortress out of our homes. What we have to do is reshape our attitude. As the FBI’s most recent annual re port on crime put it: “Attitude of the public toward the law enforcement problems. A (is one of)...the conditions which will affect the amount and type of crime that occurs from place to place...” . What should our attitude be? We should all find out how to make it harder for criminals to burglarize our homes and businesses, how to lock our cars, how not to tempt thievery by leaving money or other va luables out in the open, to re spect our policemen and to teach our children that same respect, and to realize it is our personal duty to uphold even the littlest law. That last one touches a sensitive area— our morality. If we park in “No Parking” zones, cheat on our taxes, “borrow” someone else’s magazine in our apart ment house, and commit a lot of other little venial sins, we are making it easier for crime to thrive. By condoning little crimes we encourage others to commit bigger ones. Who are the others? Consi der this! Almost one-half of the persons arrested in 1969 for committing what the FBI calls serious crimes were under 18 years of age. If we can’t con vince our children that crime is wrong, then we’re in real UF In Memory” cards available The Board of Directors of the United Fund announces the availability of “In Memory” cards which individuals may obtain in order to make dona tions to the favorite charities of their deceased loved ones. Any person who is interested in obtaining the “In Memory” cards may contact Miss Marian Sligh with the Newberry County Development Board at 276-4274 or by stopping by the Develop ment Board office which is lo cated on the ground floor of the Community Hall. Blue label speeds refund Your income tax refund can be processed faster if you put the blue pre-addressed name label that came on your 1040 tax package onto the return you file, H.M. McLeod, Dis trict Director of Internal Reve nue for South Carolina, said today. Just peel it off the front of your tax package and place it in the box at the top of the Form 1040. Use of the label will elimi nate many errors in name and Social Security numbers that held up refunds for many tax payers in South Carolina last year, McLeod said. If you file early and use the name label, your return can usually be processed and your refund issued in five to six weeks. If you find an error in your blue name label, make the correction on the label and use it on the return. When a return is prepared for you by someone else, re member to put the blue name label on the form you actually file, McLeod said. You should either give the tax preparer the package with the name label attached or remove the name label yourself and attach it to the completed form when it is returned to you for signing. If you are required to file estimated tax declarations, use the pre-addressed form sent you by the IRS.

Perhaps that’s really the way to “Crunch Crime”—by each of us setting an example of honesty and integrity. It’s an old fashioned idea—but it just might work. It’s a matter of either crunching together or of being crunched together! The choice is clear* Gagers headed for playoffs And then came Newberry. Coach Nield Gordon’s Indians started slowly,- losing in tour naments to district foes Wof ford, Erskine and arch-rival Presbyterian. Things got worse when the Indians opened district play, as Mars Hill ran ’em out of the gym by 103-72. Then Newberry started play ing for keeps. First, they beat Erskine at home by ten—67-57. Mars Hill fell by 80-20. Then Newberry reeled off three more straight wins over College of Charleston—the newest addi tion to NAIA’s district 6—, Presbyterian (by 73-56), and Wofford. With six district games re maining, Newberry appears headed for the district play offs. S.C. State continues to lead teams with a 6-1 league record, but a half-game behind are both Newberry and UNC-Ashe- ville at 5-L Western Carolina holds down fourth place with a 3-2 mark. Newberry’s upserge has been led by Joe Styles, who is ave raging 19.4 points a game and hitting 67 per cent of his field goal attempts—second in the district behind Vorhee’s Jackie Dinkins, who leads in scoring with 34.7. Newberry’s Steve Hobson is the district rebounding leader, with 15.9 a game, while Wof ford’s Tom Nagle is the best free throw shooter, having made 117 or 136 for 86 per cent. South Carolina State conti nues to lead in team offense with 98 points a game and the leading defensive club conti nues to be Erskine, allowing 72.9 points a game. Vorhees leads in team field goal percentage with 59.8, while Erskine leads from the foul line with 78.7 per cent. New berry leads in team rebound ing with 58.3 per cent.
