In State Crops
Weeds can be controlled in
fruit, nut, vegetable and field
crops.
That’s the message Dr. Jam
es F. Miller, agronomist with the
University of Georgia Coopera
tive Extension Service, has for
commercial producers of these
crops.
Dr. Miller tells how to control
weeds in three new publications
which are available at local coun
ty Extension agents’ offices,
Inside the publications, Dr.
Miller provides producers quick
reference charts listing the crop,
herbicides to use and number of
pounds needed per acre. He also
provides information on time and
type of applications recommen
ded for each crop.
Dr. Miller points out that her
bicides are "plant killers” and
should be treated as such. He
reminds producers to follow Ex
tension recommendations and la
bel precautions to avoid possible
damage to desirable plants.

ALWAYS ON MONDAYS — Governor Lester Maddox and

their fingers the additional number of long weekend holidays to
begin in Georgia in 1971, after the governor signed into law the
Monday Holiday bill, becoming the first law enacted by the
General Assembly in the 1969 session. Georgia also became the
first state this year to enact the legislation and second state to
adopt the proposal, providing that Washington’s Birthday;
Memorial Day ; Veterans Day and Columbus Day be observed on
Mondays, rather than a specific date. The bill was introduced by
Sen. Ford Spinks of Tifton, chairman of the Senate Tourist
Study Committee, (2nd from right). Others are (1 to r) Eric
Holmes, Petroleum Council of Georgia; Rep. Jones Lane,
Statesboro, who managed the bill in the House; Glenn Anthony,

TAXPAYERS ASK IRS
This column of questions and
answers on federal tax matters
is provided by the local office
of the U. S. Internal Revenue Ser
vice and is published as a public
service to taxpayers. The col
umn answers questions most
frequently asked by taxpayers.
Q-Can you round off income
and expenses to the nearest dol
lar when you file?
A-Yes, you may round off your
figures to the nearest dollar. How
ever, this does not mean that
estimates are acceptable. Items
listed on a return must be pro
perly substantiated.
Q-Because of illness In the
family, we had to have a full
time nurse for several weeks
last year. Is this a deductible
medical expense?
A-The amount you paid her
for nursing service will be de
ductible as a medical expense.
However, if the nurse also per
formed household duties, that
part of her pay is not considered
a medical expense and should not
be included.
Q-Where should I send my
return? I’m due a refund.
A-Send it to your regional ser
vice center. A pre-addressed en
velope has been provided in your
1040 package. If you didn’t get
one, check page 9 of your 1040
instruction booklet for the cor
rect service center address.
Q-How do you figure the mi
nimum standard deduction?
A-The deduction amounts to
S2OO plus SIOO for each exemp
tion taken on the return including
those for age and blindness. For
married couples filing separate
ly, the deduction is SIOO plus
SIOO for each exemption. The
maximum that may be claimed by
those using this deduction is $l
- but it is limited to SSOO when
a married taxpayer files a se
parate return.
A married couple with two
children as dependents would be
entitled to a S6OO deduction when
this method is used. If the in
come reported on the return
was under $6,000 then this meth
od would be more to the coup
le’s advantage than the standard
deduction.
Q - What was the biggest rea
son for refund delays last year?
A-Missing or erroneous Social
Security numbers were responsi
ble for delays in processing al
most two million refund checks
in 1968.
Taxpayers receiving their
Kroger Company
Has New Instant
Coffee Dispenser
Now they’re even finding ways
to make Instant coffee more
convenient.
The Kroger Co. is Introduc
ing to this area a new jar for
its Spotlight Instant Coffee which
dosen’t even require taking off
the lid.
The colorful orange top has a
dispenser built right in which
automatically measures the cor
rect amount of Instant coffee for
one perfectly-flavored cup
of coffee. Just turn the jar up
side down over the cup and pull
the lever, A special "agitator”
feeds the coffee evenly into the
measure.
Other advantages -- there s
less possibility of spillage and
the instant coffee stays fresher
because It is not exposed to the
air.
Homemakers in test markets
indicated they found the lids handy
for other items also. Typical re
use possibilities cited included
sugar, non-dairy coffee cream
er, or any powder-type product
which uses a one-teaspoon mea
sure.
The dispenser caps are made
by Samuel B. Boster and As
sociates of Cincinnati.
(Our Advertisers Are Assured of Best Results)
forms in the mail should be sure
to use the pre-addressed label
that came on their return. It giv
es the taxpayer’s Social Security
number, name and address just
as they appear in IRS files. If
there is an error in the label,
correct it and send it back with
the return.
Note that the label can be lift
ed off the return and placed on
the tax form to be sent to IRS
if that becomes necessary.
Q-Can you deduct the fees
paid for auto license tags?
A-No, these are usually not
deductible. The exception to this
would be if the license fee is
based on the value of the car.
In that case, the fee could be
deducted as a personal proper
ty tax.
Q-Is there any limit on what
a child can earn and still be
claimed as a dependent by his
parents?
A-The general rule is that a
person may not be claimed as
dependent if he has gross income
of S6OO or more. The exception
to this rule is when the person
is your child and he is either
under 19 or is a full-time stu
dent. Then you may claim him as
a dependent regardless of the
amount of his income as long as
you provide more than one-half
his total support for the year.
Q-What’s the rule on Social
History's Biggest Fires Started Small
“All fires start small,” runs a
firefighters’ adage. “WhaL
counts is how they finish.” j
What happens between be
ginning and end depends on a
variety of factors-some within |
man’s control and other in the
lap of the gods. Both elements
were at work in the great fire
of 1871.
According to legend, the con
flagration started as a minor*
blaze ignited when Mrs. Pat-,
rick O’Leary’s cow kicked over
a kerosene lantern in a South
Side barn. It was a typical case
of human failure: Mrs.’
O’Leary’s carelessness. ,
But Nature helped to feed
the holocaust—first by drought
which had left the city’s wooden
buildings tinder dry and then
by atetiff wind, which drove the
flames out of control.
Heavy Toll
Twenty-seven hours after the
first spark, a third of Chicago
lay in ashes. The toll: more
than 250 dead and $lB7 million
in property loss.
But human neglect was the
sole culprit in one of America’s
most appalling industrial fires:
New York’s Triangle sweat
shop catastrophe of 1911.
All the elements of tragedy
were compressed into the upper
floors occupied by the Triangle
Shirtwaist Co. in an antiquated
10-story building in mid-Man
hattan: more than 600 workers
squeezed into three stories . . .
floors littered with cloth scraps
and tissue paper . . . single-file
corridors and narrow stairways
leading to two pitifully inade
quate exits—one of them bolted
from the outside!
Cause a Mystery
What sparked the fire re
mains a mystery, but suddenly
an inferno erupted. Dozens
died pounding at the bolted
door or wedged in the passage
ways. Spectators watched help- (
lessly as, one after another, 60
girls leaped to their death from
ninth-floor windows. In all, 146
persons lost their lives; 70 were
critically injured.

safety experts into strengthen
ing the fire-protection clauses
of commercial building codes.
Yet even now, millions spend
their days in factories, offices or
schools constructed with built
in tinder.
High among such hazards is
combustible pipe insulation.
Most commonly, this flammable
material is jacketed around
pipes in utility shafts, which
themselves act as chimneys to
fan and spread a minor blaze
into a conflagration. As Richard
E. Stevens, technical secretary
of the National Fire Protection
Association, puts it:
“Utility shafts for piping and
wiring sometimes promote
spread of fire and smoke, with
resultant loss of life and prop
erty.”
Insulation Burned
He cites as “notable ex
amples” the spectacular fires
which struck the Empire State
Building in New York on Jan:
9, 1963, and a Montreal office
building three weeks earlier. In
both cases, Stevens says, “pipe
insulation and jackets provided
the fuel, produced the smoke
and caused the fire spread.”
Recognizing the hazard, he
continues, manufacturers are
developing incombustible pipe
insulation. The first such ma
terial on the market to meet the

for flame and smoke safeguards
was Johns-Manville’s Flame-

He advised taxpayers who do
not receive their refunds within
this period to wait at least ten
weeks before writing about them.
To write earlier will only delay
processing, he said.
To avoid refund delays, Mr;
Woodruff said, taxpayers should
be sure their return is accurate
and complete. They should checlf
to see if the return is signed
(two signatures if a joint return);
all W-2 Forms are attached and
the Social Security number shown
on the name label is correct^

Urges Safer Codes
Paul W. Kearney, one of
America’s foremost writers on
fire prevention, urges a combi
nation of education and public
pressure through neighborhood
councils, clubs, labor unions
and other citizens groups to pro
mote the adoption and enforce
ment of rigid building and fire
codes. He cites the case of a
Michigan city where parents
for years tried vainly to have
building code violations cor
rected at a firetrap high school.
Finally, banding together,
the exasperated parents called
on the Board of Education.
After outlining the demands,
their spokesman concluded:
“Either you start work on
eliminating these hazards today
—or we take our children out of
the school tomorrow!”
The work started that day.
