'• •j'i f V r Thursday, January 9, Something new is the "thank- . you" letter seiht to Santa Claus, Via the Plaindealer, this week. It •Came from Linda Lieberson of Ptstakee Bay, who wrote as follows: "Thank you for all the lovely presents. I suppose you don't get many thank-you notes so I thought I'd write you one. Thank you again!" We thought the Christmas limiting .displays in the community were very beautiful this year, and it was very gratifying to know that the great deal of work put into them was done even without the inducement of a contest. It was especially interesting to note the unique display at the Robert Lent home, north of the city on Rivejrsidle/ Drive where for two years vandals destroyed the result of their labors. This year the Lents • constructed an unusu al display on the top of their roof, where such an-act/would require | almost more effort than it would ,l>e worth. y A small engine bearing trfe Words "To North Pole" pulled a railroad car in which Sapta sat, waiving to his many friends who passed. * We admire their perseverence in providing beautiful and unusal displays in spite of discouragement - A good many New gear's Eve celebrations were side-tracked because of the weather last week, but in spite of the winter's worst storm to date, between thirty and forty young members of the Mc- Henry Tie-Rods gathered at their first 'teen-age Holiday Hop. -/Organized to promote safety on the highway, members did just that by not travelling Tuesday night. Adults who attended the party reported a well spent evening. K. A. F. Auto accidents kill more persons under 65 years of age than any other type of accident, the National Safety Council says. REVENUE SERVICE BEGINS 1958 Tj FILING PERI01 It will soon be time to file, your federal income tax return. Every resident of the United States, whether an adult or minor, who had $600 or more gross income in 1957 is required to file. If 65 or over by Jan. 1, 1958, no return is required unless gross income was at least SL200. Those who had less income should file to obtain a refund of any tax withheld from their wages or salaries, H. Alan Long, director of the Internal Rfevenue Service for this district, announced. Returns should be filed as soon after Jan. as possible, but not later than April 15, 1958. Taxpayers of the twenty-sixth counties of northern Illinois should mail their returns to the District Director Of Internal Revenue, 22 West Madison street, Chicago 2, 111. Self-employed persons must file/ an income tax return and pay selfv employment tax if they have net earnings from self-employment of §400 or more, even though their ^ross income is less, than $600. The instruction booklet furnished \vith the tax forms should enable most taxpayers to prepare their own returns without too much difficulty, Mr. Long explained. However, the Internal Revenue Service will offer assistance at local field offices from Jan. 20 through April 15, 1958. Self-help will again be stressed as the basic theme of taxpayer assistance. "The self-help program has now been in effect about three years," Mr. Long said, "and. we believe that more and more taxpayers are becoming familiar with the requirements for sound preparation of federal income tax returns. "Essentially, self-help means that the taxpayers complete as much of their returns as possible before asking help from us. Most taxpayers can do the whole job after careful reading of the form itself, and its accompanying booklet "We are still going to provide help to those who actually need it, and we will again stress our telephone assistance program, which will enable taxpayers with a problem or two to call us up for a quick answer, designed to complete preparation of their returns. "Office assistance will be available where required, but will naturally entail considerably more of the taxpayer's time," Mr. Long added. Telephone servle^ in Chicago may be obtained by calling DEarborn 2-4500 and asking for Taxpayer Assistance. Assistance may be obtained in Room 1, U.S. Courthouse, Dearborn and Adams Streets, and at seven branch offices maintained at strategic points s in the local communities. Due to limitation of space, no service will be available for preparation of tax "returns at the district office, 22 West Madison street, Chicago. . In the area outside' of Chicago, there are twenty-tWo branch offices where taxpayers may call for advfee and information, among them one at 108 E. Jackson, Woodstock.
