“HELP!” THAT’S what the MAD officers are saying. They need someone to take over the custodial duties at the Milford Community Building as soon as possible. Eva Hamilton has resigned for personal reasons and MAD needs to hire someone to replace her. Mrs. Hamilton has done an outstanding job over the past three years and is to be comended for her service to the community. Anyone from the Milford community who is interested in this part-time job (about five hours per week) should contact Donn Kesler or Evelyn Om for details. PEOPLE WHO know LaVada (Dean) Babinski didn’t recognize her in this newspaper’s profile article last week. Her name was incorrectly spelled LaVilla. We’re sorry for this error. LaVada has been a resident of the Lakeland area for a number of years and we know better. It would appear our gremlins were working overtime. LaVada will be remembered, among other things, for the years she worked at the Syracuse License Branch and for all the help she gave to youngsters applying for their first driver’s license. The Babinskis both reside at Lakeland Loving Care. JAN KIZER, a MHS graduate, recently joined the staff of Red Carpet Family Realty as a licensed sales associate. Jan attended Ball State Univer-

MEMBERS OF Mrs. Hand’s second grade class at Milford recently wrote what they thought “Love Is.” Since this is Valentine’s Day week we thought it would be fitting to run at this time.

Grocery stores have special sections of lower-calorie, low-fat foods. Many restaurants have special menus for those who want to limit cholesterol, fat, and sodium. Every day people are bombarded with news bout what is good and not good for them, different ways to lose weight, and other nutritional tips. Although people may want to practice good nutrition and start eating better, they may feel overwhelmed by all of this information. The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have jointly revised a booklet “Nutrition and Your Health: Dietary Guidelines for Americans,” that gives clear advice in one concise, easy-to-read booklet that can help improve eating habits. First published in 1980, the 1985 second edition reflects the best scientific judgment based on the latest research. For a free copy of the booklet write to the Consumer Information Center, Department 622 N, Pueblo, Co. 81009.

Girl Scouts celebrate Thinking Day Feb. 22

Every February 22, Girl Scouts around the world take time out to send mental messages of friendship and love to their counterparts in other lands. The concept of Thinking Day originated at the fourth international conference, which was hosted by Girl Scouts of the U.S.A., in 1926. A French leader proposed the date, and a Belgian leader later suggested that each Girl Scout donate a penny to a special fund to help developing countries build Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting. Local Girl Scouts will be gathering at the Center Lake Pavilion in Warsaw. In addition to observing Thinking Day, the Girl Scouts will be celebrating the birthdays of Lord and Lady Baden-Powell, the founders of Scouting. The Girl Scouts will present their donated money in away that will remind them of their sister Scouts around the world. The funds will then be forwarded to the Juliette Low World Friendship Fund. The goal is to give a greater understanding of how large the world organization is. In the Thinking Day symbol, the arrows represent action and support of the worldwide movement. The round shape symbolizes the earth. Other symbols of unity of the world association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts include the World Association pin and the Juliette Low World Friendship Fund patch.

year. The troop now consists of 11 Brownies in the second grade. This year the girls are learning to be more independent, to replace “I can’t” with “I’ll try,” and each girl has a turn in taking attendance and helping with snack and clean-up time. The troop was responsible for the candlelight ceremony at the investiture on October 22, held at North Webster Elementary School, and they joined with the sister troops in a Halloween party at Barbee Christian Camp. The girls fixed their own supper and enjoyed a hayride and troop games. Troop members also visited Mason Health Care residents on October 29. The girls dressed in costumes. Brownies from troop 178 have earned their “Hi Neighbor” patch by learning four Spanish words, discussing nursing homes and handicapped people, and by doing an Indian bead project. They also discussed Brownie manners, the Girl Scout law, and learned the revised Girl Scout promise. For fun they have played Winkum, Seven-up, made yarn dolls and pencil pin wheels. For Thanksgiving the troop prepared a food basket with items dbnated by each Brownie’s family. Troop leaders Wanda Mickley and Karen Drake report that the fourth grade Brownie troop 11 from North Webster have had a busy fall. In October the troop emphasis was on “Being Our Best,” and the girls learned proper care of clothing. The leaders say the girls handwashed sweaters and blouses (and a good portion of the meeting room). They also learned to sew on buttons and the value of good personal hygiene. In November troop members earned the “Healthy Eating” patch with an emphasis on proper diet and the four basic food groups. The girls were treated to a huge vegetable tray, along with vegetable dip, cheese and crackers, and fruit juice. The following week the troop held a “Taster’s Party,” serving such items as turkey sausage, cheese sausage, shrimp cocktail, string cheese, kiwi fruit, rice cakes and pimentos. While they sampled, the girls identified the food group each item belonged to and gave its nutritional value.

Mrs. Tran prepared a delicious . supper for the troop consisting of Vietnamese dishes. The supper menu included Spring rolls (egg rolls), chicken and rice noodles and chicken fried rice. Avoid errors on Form 1040 FROM THE IRS Each year, there are some predictable trouble spots with federal income tax forms. These are areas where large numbers of taxpayers make incorrect entries and thereby slow the processing of tax forms. These trouble spots fall into two broad categories: problems that recur each year, such as taxpayers selecting the incorrect figure from the tax tables; and problems that stem from changes in the tax laws and forms from one year to the next, such as the addition of a new line to a form or the shift of an existing line to a new position on the form. Not surprisingly, the largest percentage of errors is made on Form 1040, the so-called long form. To assist filers of this form, IRS has compiled the following list of problem areas to doublecheck: 1. Medical deductions. This item is not entered on Form 1040, but on a related Schedule A. Because Schedule A was redesigned last year, this item will probably be one of the leaders on the list of last year’s most common errors. Due to rule changes on medical deductions, IRS expects problems again this year. Be sure to check the limitation on medical expenses. 2. Figure from tax table. Because of the number of pages and figures involved, this item is always high on the list of most common errors for all tax forms. Double check the figure from the tax table for your filing status and enter on line 38: Check the box for Tax Table. 3. Unemployment compensation. Double-check your figures on the worksheet in the tax instruction booklet (page 10), and make appropriate entries on lines 20a and 20b. 4. Child care credit. Read instructions carefully and doublecheck your computations on Form 2441, Credit For Child and Disabled Dependent Care Expenses. Enter the figure on line 41 and attach Form 2441 to your return. 5. Balance due/refund. This important item usually makes the list of most common errors, if your total tax (line 56) is larger than your total payments made (line 64), enter the difference on line 68, Amount You Owe. Follow the instructions for remitting payment. If the reverse is true, enter the difference on line 65, Overpaid. Enter on line 66, Refunded to You, the portion of the line 65 overpayment that you want refunded to you. 6. Earned Income Credit (EIC) not claimed. If you are a working parent and have at least one child living with you, and if your adjusted gross income (line 32) is less than SII,OOO, you probably quality. See page 16 of the-in-structions. 7. EIC error or not qualified. Make sure you are qualified. Certain expectations must be met, and you must have a dependent child living with you and you must have worked during the year. Follow the instruction carefully and enter on line 59. 8. Dividends. You must complete and attach Schedule B if you have over S4OO in dividend income. Enter your total dividends on line 9a, your exclusion (up to SIOO for individual filers, up to S2OO for married filing jointly) on line 9b; and enter the difference (subtract line 9b from 9a) on line 9c. 9. Income computation. This is an outgrowth of item 8, since the taxpayers who miscompute their dividend income will have an error on line 23, total income. Double check these figures. 10. Income averaging, Schedule G. Income averaging is one of the most difficult forms for individual filers because of the number of tax years covered. You should have copies of your returns for the preceding three years in order to accurately complete this form. Read and follow instructions carefully and double check all figures.
