Page 4 The Oregon Advance TIMES February 15, 1968 Write Off Expenses How to Save on Income Tax by A. ZERMAN BOWENS Not one man in a thousand realizes that, if he has two jobs, almost every expense required by the second joh is deductible. It works this way: The gov– ernment clearly distinguishes between your costs '' at home'' and "away fromhomebecause of business". And it further defines your "tax home" as the place where you have your major job. Ordinarily, only those job costs already covered can be =s,. • I I, .1,.,6----v . • - . . Now'. you can get top . quality records free in exchange for th~ valuable coupons on every carton of Standard Dairy milk products. These coupons are w deducted from a job "at home". But when you are away from home on business, you can deduct all your travel and living expenses - food, lodging, travel and all. So if you have a second job evenings that talces you across town and forces you to eat dinner out, you can deduct both the travel and the extra cost of the dinner over what it would have cost you to eat at home. If you stay late at your regular job and eat out, you cannot deduct a penny. If you take a job during your vacation in another part of the country, you may be able to deduct your travel and all your living expenses while there. However, these items of expense, while deductible, frequently have to be proved and documented before the government will allow you to take them. Keep enough re– cords. Keep receipts and malce notes as to dates, places, etc. In connection with your reg– ular job, try this rule: If your job requires a special kind of clothing you cannot use anywhere else - clothing you cannot even reasonably wear on the way home - you can surely deduct the cost of this clothing from your taxable in– come. Nevertheless, just be– cause you have to dress a certain way dewsn't mean that you can call this a job cost. An advertising man may have to wear a gray flannel suit, but that suit is also perfectly suitable for parties and church. No deduction. There is no hard and fast rule, but if you follow the rule of thumb and check with your local tax collector, attorney or ac– countant about special cases, it is worth trying for any reasonable deduction, Clifford Walker Weds Miss Brown Miss Jimmie Brown and Clifford C.

The main purpose is not to Judge a person by his or her ability to learn or to put forth a great amount of effort, and to me this takes mo re understanding. l think a teacher in the traditional school should be very flexible to adjust to dif– ferent types . of students. The only way a student and teacher will iron out the prob– lems is to sit down and talk about it. I know, because I was a student in the tradi– tional school. People say it doesn't hap– pen, but it really does. C-CAP school is very differ– ent, Teachers are very flex– ible and they adjust to the students and show interest in let them fail. If interest is shown from the teacher, the student has just that much less confusion in him or her– self. That should be one main purpose, to give the drive, because society is very .cruel to a drop-out. YQQRE MAN NAMES TOP 6 1. I Thank You - Sam and Dave 2. I Wish It Would Rain - Temptations 3.
