Have Tax Breaks
State Veterans Service Director‘;
Pete Wheeler today reminded
Georgia survivors of deceased
Viet Nam veterans that the In
ternal Revenue Code provides
cancellation of certain federal in
come tax liability if the veteran
died while serving in a combat
zone or died of disease, woundsl
or injuries received while serv
ing In a combat zone,
Mr. Wheeler said, “This pro
vision of federal tax law is im
portant to survivors of a deceased
veteran as it is in force not only
for the year in which the s2rvice
man was killed but also for any
prior year ending after the first
day he served in a combat z¢ne”
The provision is not applicable
if death occurs after a service
man’s discharge from actlive duty.
Viet Nam and certain adjacent
waters have been designated since
April 26, 1965, as “combat areas” |
for the purpose of this law,
Mr. Wheeler said, “A claim for
refund under provisions of this'
law may be filed by a deceased
weteran’s survivors or legal rep
resentatives within three years
from the time the return was filed
or within two years from the timei
the tax was paid.”
Field office managers of thel
Georgia Department of Veterans
Service can assist veterans, their|
survivors or dependents on mat- |
ters pertaining to taxes and vet
erans' benefits. Contact the near
est field office for further infor~l

BORERS ATTACK
Dogwood borers may kill your
dogwood trees before you realize
what has happened. Rodney Cole
man, entomologist with the Co
operative Extension Service, says
dogwood borers feed in the cam
bium or growing area under the
bark. Several borers may kill the
iree.
BROOD COWS
Wintering the brood cow is a
big cost item for the beef pro
ducer. Extension animal scientists
at the University of Georgia point
out wintering of brood cows ac
counts for 30 to 40 percent of the
total annual production costs. A
producer has to do a good job
feeding good brood cows in win
ter. and he can't afford {c feed a
poor brood cow.

U.T.U. Celebrates “Spike” As Labor Triumph ’
With a minimum of hoopla
but with a certain amount of
understandable boasting,
American labor is planning its
own celebration of the “Golden
Spike” centennial.
The %rogram. co-sponsored
by the United Transportation
Union and the OaklnnfiCalif.)
Museum, stresses the contribu
tion of working men in build
ing the nation's first transcon
tinental railroad.
Plans center on the only
photographic record ever made
of the almost legendary con
struction project. The pictures
are printed off glass plate nega
tives shot more than 100 vears
ago by the Union Pacific Rail
road's official photographer,
Andrew J. Russell,
The photos, in an exhibit
specially constructed by San
Francisco architect Gordon
Ashby, will go on tour, starting
this vear and continuing at
least into 1972.
Russell’s camera virtually
wrote the script for labor’s cen
tennial event. He followed the
UP work crews all the way
from their starting point in
Omaha, Neb., to the link-up
with Central Pacific at Prom
ontory Point, Utah, on May
10, 1869.
“In our own quiet way,”
said U.T.U. president Charles
Luna, “we want to take fitting
