MR. & MRS. HOME OWNER
Do you employ a cook, cleaning woman or other
domestic worker in your home for one or more
days per week? If so, you are paying them more
than fifty dollars per quarter in wages, and you
should be withholding and paying Social Security
contributions for them. Your failure to do this
denies your employee his right to receive Social
Security benefits for themselves and their
dependents in later years. We urge you to obey the
law and help us to improve human relations in the
Augusta Area.

You con live without the consequences of shoplifting, too.

The Augusta News-Review - December 6, 1973 -
\ Astrology f
Today / A
i For the week of December 8 - 14: «—®
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) - Avoid letting your mind wander to
the past and do not seek to relive days when others took care of
you. Be adult in view, dutiful in action and live in the present
whatever its responsibilities demand.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 20) - Try to understand someone who
is very different from you and see the wisdom in this person’s
attitude. You can be in with someone so courageous it makes you
feel left behind. Give due admiration for such courage and show
your esteem in speech.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 21) - Do work around the home, put
everything in good shape. Do not be slipshod and superficial in
any work. A health matter should be cared for immediately, and
improvement of your appearance, though costly, is also
connected with needed health measures.
CANCER (June 22 - July 22) - Someone you meet now may have
much influence but this is best avoided. Be friendly but cool and
do not spend much time with this person. Finish up gift shopping
for there is much ahead to keep you busy. Buy in enough cards.
LEO (July 23 - August 23) - You must get a lot accomplished for
holiday activities and can be in a rush for much of the time.
Guard against errors in work during this cycle, for that coud be
expensive.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 22) - You may be planning
parties, laying in provisions, sending out invitations. A busy cycle
when you think little of yourself and are generous toward others.
You may see the exactly right gift for a loved one; don’t let the
price stop you.
LiBRA (September 23 - October 22) - If you go to excess and
become quite talkative, do not say anything disparaging about a
loved one. Keep this in mind no matter what the company you
keep or what it is in which you go to excess.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 22) - Pay up a bill fully and
feel free in certain line of debts. It will not do much good to take
stock of finances, they are low and just beginning to climb a bit;
give them a chance to blossom.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) - Buy an
inexpensive gift for a loved one, and keep gifts to children in
reasonable range. It is best not to give cash to a newly married
couple in the family, so choose a pratical gift.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) - If you take a brief
trip be very cautious in driving. People who live out of town will
be glad to see you and you will be treated to seasonal type
refreshments. A good time is here chiefly.
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) - Be generous with a
neighbor who is alone and feels abandoned by family members.
Share what you have with others and do not let a miserly streak
prevail. This is a good time to finish gift buying with a special
item for a child.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) - Get cards written and ready
to mail, wrap packages and in general prepare for the days to
come. Romance may suddenly enter your picture through a total
stranger. Nets you have cast out to gain a request will now bring
you back the word you wanted.
