If you use your car for business, you may also deduct the following items in whole or in part-depending on the extent of

business use: Motor Club dues; state automobile license fee; municipal vehicle license fees; driver's license fees; automobile insurance premiums; depreciation; gasoline, oil and lubrication expenses; cost of repairs; accessories; washing and polishing expenses; antifreeze and winterizing services; garage rent; parking charges; and toll road fees. Generally, an individual who operates his own car for business travel may figure the cost of his operation by toeing a standard mileage rate, instead of maintaining detailed records and

itemizing provable costs. This alternative is not available, however, with respect to an automobile for which a deduction for depreciation based upon a method other than the “straight line” method, has been previously claimed by the taxpayer. The standard mileage rate is JO cents a mile for the first 15,000 miles of business driving and 7 cents a mile for additional business mileage. Parking fees and toll charges incurred in business driving may be added to the cost figure computed by using the standard mileage rate.

GOVERNOR WHITCOMB Gov. Whitcomb To Head Easter Seal Campaign Edgar D. Whitcomb. Governor of Indiana, will serve as 1970 Easter Seal campaign chairman for Indiana it was announced today. The Governor will begin statewide organization immediately, for the February 23-March 29 campaign.

Only AMIBEN can offer you AMIBEN™ preemergence weedkiller killed grass for more soybean farmers than any other herbicide in 1969. And, it also was the . 1 first choice for broadleaf weeds by a wide margin. This all-in-one, double action, Total Weed Control gives farmers with good management a truly outstanding tool. They can depend upon Amiben as the best way to cancel out grass and weeds as a limiting factor when it comes either to growing the beans, or harvesting the crop. Does it make sense to buy a half-action grass herbicide? One that lets big weeds “through (and yes, even some grasses) but costs a little less, or put's you through the work of soil incorporation? There are several such limited control products on the market. But farmers can easily end up looking at a hefty stand of weeds that “escaped because of limited capability of the herbicide. Weed control to be profitable to the farmer should keep everything out but the beans, and do it with ease of use and safety to the crop. Only Amiben makes this a realistic goal.

ture of the handicap—have a chance to either correct or overcome their handicaps and take their place as full contributing citizens to society. “We want all of our citizens to have full, good lives of dignity and independence. As a matter of fact, our great state needs everyone of them.” “I haven’t a question in my mind that when our neighbors know what Easter Seals are doing to make this a better world for the handicapped—children and adults as well—that they will be generous in their support. It is our neighbors and their children who benefit from Easter Seal services —today and tomorrow. We all will help. I know.” "The work performed by the Easter Seal Societies in Indiana is deserving of the utmost support by citizens of this great state." The 50th golden anniversary Easter Seal campaign will open February 23 and will continue until Easter Sunday. March 29.
