Every organization depends on new members for its lifeline. Let's keep it up. Don Parenti chairman of the entertainment committee, announced that an ice skating rink will be set up near the beach.

Our Loss Is Richmond's gain. The Hamlin, Fonte and Bertucelli families who used to operate the House of Pizaa in the Bjork building have moved their ovens to Richmond.

But where land owners rent their'farms and "participate materially" in producing or managing the pi-oduction of farm products, the net earnings must b" reported as self employment income. On all self-employment income up to $4,200 a self-employed person must pay a tax of 3 per cent. This is paid at the same time as vour 1956 income tax. The words "participate materially" as they appear in the law during the double feature at the cinema. ral&e <a questirarti for ftfariy -landowners. Whitman lists these points that are considered* in determiftA ing( whether a land owner would qualify for social security: ,(1) The extent to Which hp makes decision^' about the farming operation. ' (2) The amount of advising and consulting he does with the tenant about production of crops, livestock, of both.J (3) The frequency he inspects crops, or-livestock for the purl^ pose ttf det^wnining whether work I | is being done, proper^ and. what .j ! else should bVtlone. . ^ *5 j (4) The amount- of physical work he does on the farm. Furnishing machinery, imple- ' ments, livestock, or financial as- : sistance is not in itself considered ts material participation. Whitman says a land owner who does not want to pay the I tax and qualify for social security may not, but he must not participate materially in the farm operation. This would "be done"t>3f'J using a lease that would provide • for very lirnfted decision by th$ t landlord or by hirifig a proSesj , sional farm manager who w^ulij 1 make most decisions. ! i^eno Uncle 3<.u; Your Dollars Insured Savings: Sayings invested in Crystal Lake Savings and Association are insured by Federal Savings and Loan Insj»i£l anee Corp., and earn ^ plus YJ per cent extra. as-t* ;TV1 Here's to your good reading next week, and we'll be back with you, in two weeks.
