/ k > nR "w .. .By Hi PRESENTS LIFELINE PROGRAM — Mark Oglesbay, center, representing “Lifeline,” a Kosciusko Community Hospital Service Program, described this system for Kiwanis Club of Lakeland, North Webster, on Monday morning, Feb. 29. He is holding one of the home units used for this program and Jack Maule, president, right, is showing the “help” button used to activate the unit and make connection with the Kosciusko Community Hospital Emergency Response Center. Program chairman Roger Coldren, left, is observing the Lifeline equipment. Oglesbay explained that Lifeline is designed for elderly or handicapped persons who wish to remain in an independent manner in their own home. They may carry the “help” button in a pocket, or use it as a necklace, or on their wrist. Once the “help” button is pushed, it triggers the home unit, attached to the telephone, which automatically dials the hospital. The hospital responds with proper procedures to get emergency help if needed. Lifeline service can be used only on a private line in a home. There is no charge for Lifeline equipment installation after the telephone company has the private line properly installed in a home. There is a rental charge by Kosciusko Community Hospital per month for the Lifeline equipment. By following very simple reset instructions Lifeline equipment is operational 24 hours a day in a home.

Dividends and interest This tax tip may be beneficial as persons prepare their tax returns for 1987. Question: A savings account of SIO,OOO earned just over $630 in interest last year. There was no withdrawal of any of the interest nor did the bank enter the $630 in the savings account passbook. Will tax have to be paid on the interest? Answer: Yes. The fact that interest is not actually withdrawn from the savings account or entered in a passbook does not make the interest nontaxable. The rule of “constructive receipt” requires that both cash and .accrual basis taxpayers report any income credited or made available without restriction during the year. Interest is constructively received when it is earned, not when withdrawn or entered in a passbook.

LOUISA'S LETTER ff ~ J
Dear Louisa, I am a girl of seventeen and my mother and I have gotten into an argument. She says Jhat what I do affects other people because I am popular with girls and boys, but I say that what I do is my own business and I am not responsible for what other people do. I would like to know what you think about this as I know my mother reads your column. A.L. — Pa. Answer: A person who is admired and held in respect by their neighbors and friends has a great deal of responsibility as far as other people are concerned. If you take a drink, even though it doesn’t affect you, but someone is with you who is a potential alcoholic, you may have some part in that person’s ruination later on.

The same thing is true about socalled harmless drugs. You may smoke marijuana once, just for a lark, and never smokeit again as you have too much sense and will power to acquire such a habit. But suppose your best friend doesn’t have your strength of character and she sees you doing it and thinks it must be the thing to do? She keeps it up and goes on to stronger things — perhaps ends up a suicide. Would you feel guilty about that? I think we have influence on all the people with whom we associate. We should remember that others may want to imitate us and may get into trouble. Louisa. Address letters: Louisa, box 532, Orangeburg, S.C. 29115.
