Frozen Bargains
By REBECCA WALKER
i With winter's cold weather and
i the absence of fresh fruits and
vegetables in the grocery store,
I would like to share a few tips
on what to look for when frozen
foods are offered at bargain
prices.
Wheeler County folks are gener
ally interested in saving money
where they can. Many times the
homemaker may find herself
wondering if a bargain is really
a bargain. Well, here’s how to tell
if frozen fruits and vegetables
are really bargain items. Use this
check list.
i Note whether frost has formed
WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALAMO. WHEELER COUNTY, GEORGIA
inside the package. You may want i
to purchase one container and use[
it before buying a large quan- j
tity. Large amounts of frost may
indicate quality has been im
paired.
Note the color of the food. Is j
it normal and bright? Some color
changes betray food that has been j
held too long and at too high
temperatures. Avoid peach slices!
: and red cherries which have
[ turned brown; berries which have,
i lost their brightness; green beans
! turned olive green, and green
j peas which have become grayed
: green then yellowish.
Look for undesirable changes!
I in texture.
Check the flavor.
If the packages meet these four
[ tests to your satisfaction and the
I price meets your satisfaction, it's :
a real bargain. Take advantage
of it.
A FISHY STORY
So, you haven’t been to the lake i
recently to catch your own fish. I
But you want to cook some fish
for your family. What to do? Go [
to your own favorite store and.
check on the frozen fish they '
have available.
1 To get good quality frozen fish
land fish products observe these
I six rules when shopping.
Check carefully to see that the
container is intact.
Avoid packages which have
been stacked above the “load'
line” or “frost line” of the freezer.!
Take only those packages which
are solidly frozen.
Check for “drip” or ice on the!
'side of the package, which may;
i indicate that the contents have
j thawed and been re-frozen.
In the case of cello-wrap pack-!
I ages, check for discoloration or
'[other signs of freezer burn.
! Frozen fish should have little
or no odor. A strong fish odor
means poor quality.
Keep these tips in mind when'
[you shop for frozen fish.
Veterans Benefits
Are Tax Free
Says Service Director
Money received by veterans as
benefits is income tax free, Pete
Wheeler, State Veterans Service
Director said today.
“Disability compensation and
! pension, education and training
allowances, home and auto grants
to the seriously disabled, and
' death benefits paid to survivors;
of veterans, all are exempt and[
! need not be reported as income |
on the federal tax return,” Mr.i
Wheeler said.
Taxable, however, is interest
[earned by GI life insurance divi
dends left on deposit with the
[Veterans Administration.
Also excluded from federal tax
ation are the incomes of military
personnel serving in Vietnam or
[its adjacent waters. Enlisted per
sonnel may exclude from gross
income the entire amount of mil
itary pay received for this serv
ice. Commissioned officers may
[exclude amounts up to $500.00 for
! each month of service. These ex
i elusions apply during the months
a taxpayer serves in the com
'bat zone, or during the months
[he is hospitalized as a result of
wounds, disease, or injuries in
curred in the combat zone.
Another section of the Internal
Revenue code cancels certain in
come tax liabilities for service
men who die as a result of
[wounds, disease, or injury while
[serving in a combat zone Under
this section: (1) all federal in
come taxes, whether on military
pay or not, are forgiven for the
; year in which the serviceman was
। killed or in the year in which
[he dies of wounds, disease, or in
i jury sustained in the combat zone,
(2) if he entered the combat zone
[in the year previous to the one
[in which he was killed, all taxes
' for that year are forgiven, and
। (3) if he was delinquent in pay
iment of personal income taxes
[for any preceding year in which
[he served in a combat zone, those

Grandma had her way
| of saying it.
We have a better way.
Grandma took pride in her home. And with good
reason: it was her world. About the only time she
wasn’t in front of a hot cookstove, she was steaming
over a galvanized wash tub. Or stooping to scrub the
bleached wood floors.
You take the same pride in your home. Your chores
are pretty much the same. But you have a lot more
help than grandma did. You have electricity.
You have a lot less scrubbing and dusting to do.
Because electric heating and cooling are the cleanest
you can buy.
You can be den mother to your Cub Scouts all
afternoon, and still have the roast done when your
husband comes home. Because an electric range can
cook a whole meal by itself. (Some electric ovens even
clean themselves.)
With an electric washer and dryer, you can do the
laundry anytime the hamper gets full. Without waiting
for the sun to shine.
You can have lighting designed for every need, from
putting on your lipstick in the morning to bringing in
the groceries at night.
Put it all together and you have a total-electric home.
Sweet home.

taxes are forgiven.
There are extension privileges
from IRS for filing returns by
servicemen who are now in com
bat zones.
[ Applications for a tax refund
should be filed with the Internal
Revenue Service Center where
the tax return was filed.
State Income Tax on all mili
tary pay of enlisted men, and up
to $2,400 paid commissioned of-
I ficers serving in Vietnam is ex
cluded.
