Most Taxpayers To Use One-Page Form Return

WASHINGTON UP — The form you Use for your income tax return depends of two things; The site of your income, and where it came from. Most taxpayers are eligible to use the one-page yellow form, IMOA. You qualify if your 1953 earnings were less than >5.000 in wages or salaries, if your employer has been (withholding tax payments every payday, and if you had not more than 5100 of other income from which no federal tax has been withheld. This other income might include wages for odd at STUCKY’S MONROE, IND. SPECIAL ON SMALL RUGS 18" X 27” *I.OO STUCKY & CO. MONROE, IND. OPEN EVENINGS EXCEPT WEDNESDAYS

jobs, or dividends and interest collected on savings, loans, securities or other investments. The government is working on a plan to relieve the 35 million taxpayers who now use form 1040A from the necessity of filing a return.,But that is still just a plan—it has nothing to do with this year's filing. Here is all you need do to complete form IMOtA: Answer the printed questions, fin in your name, address and social security number, state whether you are married or single, report all your taxable income and its source, ’ list your exemptions, sign your name, and attach your Form W-2. The W-2 form is the slip of paper on which your employer says how much he paid you and how much tax he held out for the government. If you had more than one job, you probafbly have more than qne Form W 4. Be sure to send them all in. Send no money if you use thd yellow Form lO4OA. The district director will figure whether you owe the government or are in line for a refund. If you still owe, you will get a bill. If the government owes you, you will get a refund. . . The longer and more complicated tax return called Form 1040 is for anyone who wants to use it, and there are some who must use it. If your 1953 taxable income was >5,000 or more you must use Form 1040. The same applies if you had "outside” income of more than 5100 that was not covered by the “pay as you go" taxes withheld by employers. — The first thing to decide in makCLAIMS ALIAIWKD BY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS FEBRUARY 13, 1934.

Ing out Form 1040 is whether yqu want to take the standard 10 per cent deduction for non-business expenses, or itemize your deductions. If you had heavy medical bills, gave generously to churches or charity, paid a lot of ihterest on a bank note or home mortgage, suffered fire or storm losses not covered by insurance, or paid substantial real estate or sales taxes, you may get a better break by itemizing your deductions. It is a good idea to figure your tax both ways—with the standard 10 per cent deauction and by item izing your deductions. On your return, us? the method that resulti in the lowest tax. If you had an income of $5,00< or less, you may determine your tax simply by consulting a tableon the back of 'Form 1040. But if your income was more than 55,000 you have to figure out the tax by arithmetic. (Each step is carefully explained on the third page of the return. Then you enter on page 1 the amount of tax you have calculated on page 3, and compare this figure with the amount you have already paid through withholding collections or otherwise. If the balance is in your favor, the government oweajrou • return. If you still owe the government, be sure to include a check or money order with the return. 'Unlike users ot the yellow Form 1040A, you can’t wait for the government to bill you. II'W Any 1040 or lO4OA may be filed by husband and wife as a joint return. A joint return usually saves you money if your income was over 55,000. It permits you to split the family income 50-50 and pay taxes on each half at lower rates than would apply to the total amount. You can file a joint return even though your wife had no income. (Saturday: Figuring your exemptions and deductions.) Attendance Awards For S. S. Attendance

The Best Preef Leeson for February 21, 1*54 HOW do we know Christianity is true? How do we know Jesus was right? How do we know re* ligion is not a very fancy illusion? It is a fair question. When E. Stanley Jones was talking about his Christian faith to a group of professors in a great university, one of them rose to ask him: “How do you know all this is not a hallucination?” "Well,” said Dr. Jones, "if religion is a hallucination and I am crazy, then I am thankful; for this W-.--. ‘insanity’ has done 'fl more for me than all the ’sanity’ I had before.” Dr. 1 j Jones did not suppose that he could answer all the fl riddles about re- fl ligion that any one flfl* fl can think of. But he did know Jesus ® r - Foreman and he knew what Jesus had done for him. G. Studdert-Kennedy was another thorough-going Christian. At the end of a poem on “Faith" he says something like this: “You think Christianity is an argument, but it is not. It is a choice: and I choose Christ." • • • ‘OnsTlißiqTi&ww* llz The Bible story for this week tells about a young man who did not claim to know much. If you had put him into a modern theological seminary he could not have passed an examination in “Christology” to save his life. In fact, it seems doubtful whether he would even be admitted to membership in some orthodox churches today. The theological experts of his church, the Pharisees, in fact tried to grill him. They tried to confuse him, they wanted him to admit that Jesus was a fake, a liar, all the bad things they kept saying he was. But the young man stuck to one point. He does not seem to have beep well educated. It may be doubted whether he could have met those Pharisees in a formal debate. But he stuck to his one point. “One thing I know, that though I was blind, now I see." The best proof that Jesus was right, that Chris tianity is true, is not arguments from books, it is the argument from people. It is what Christ has done for them, it is the difference between what they were before they met Jesus and what they were afterwards. • • • Samples In an American seminary ths same year, studying for the Christian ministry, were a Japanese and an African. Their ancestors did not speak the same language. Only a few years ago the father of the Japanese boy was an officer in , the Japanese army fighting the Americans. Neither he nor his wife was a Christian; but after the father’s death the boy came to know softie Christian missionaries, and now instead of an errand of death his aim is to return to his own people on an errand of life. “I can see now,” the young man said, “that Japan was wrong.” Christ had opened his eyes to away of life, and of truth, which has changed his whole lif& and will change others. As for the African, a few generations back his people were as far from Christian as the Japanese officer. Then some one I thought it worth while to tell the story of JesuS in Africa . . . and now this boy, son of native African Christians, is another demonstration that Christianity is true. You would not have found it safe to sit down with some of his ancestors (nor with some of your own, for that matter!); but you would be -glad to have him in your Sunday school class. Prevention Mission - Not all the “samples” of Christianity are as dramatic as excannibals, or sons of former idolworshippers. For every "rescue mission” there are many “prevention missions”—for the ordinary little church L just that. Consider what a community would be without' the church, consider what the church members would be without their religion. Granted that church members do not live up to their possibilities or their professions. We do not want to tear down the hospitals because they do not cure all the diseases. We do not abolish medicine because some people take it and are not, z quite cured. We know the world is better for hospitals and medicines, imperfect as they are. So we know that Christianity does work. We do not see great saints every week, more’s the pity. But you do not have to look far from your own home to see some living proofs that Christ has power.

Ho Room For Jesns By Mrs. James R. Meadows Some persons tell us that they ’ have no time for religion. They are too, busy with the affairs of ‘ thia life to be bothered with the story of Salvation. They say they want to look out for this life and let the future take care of itself. Then with the wave of a hand and a sneer on their lips, they , brush aside the subject: "That ’ is my business. Don’t bother me about it. I don't want you to talk to me About religion." No room for Jesus. They have no time for Him. But what are they without Him. They have no hope beyond this fleeting life if they refuse to make room for Him s who is the hope of the ages. How ' much life can they have apart •- from Him who is the How much light can they enjoy i- if they refuse to let Him who is the Light of the World come in s and give them light? What, no r room for Jesus? So soon can their life be snuffed out, and they be laid beneath the sod. How can they ever rise to be with Christ if they refuse the help of Him who is the “resurrection and the e life?” They have no keys with which to unlock the tomb. What can they do without Him, the only One. who has the keys of death and the grave?
