Farm Users Favored For More Diesel Fuel TAX FACTS Area farmers needing more diesel fuel may request it by applying immediately to distributors, according to Joe Getty, chairman of the County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) com­ mittee. Getty has received notice that this revision on distillates in the emergency fuel program is effective for sixty days. It should go a long way toward enabling many farmers who need diesel tractor fuel, to continue a variety of farming activities important to producing food for the nation. The revision notice is from the Office of Petroleum Allocation (OPA), Department of the Interim-. Nicholas H. Smith, assistant deputy administrator of programs for ASCS in the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), who has been ap­ pointed coordinator of energy for the USDA, said this revision in the use of distillates was approved Nov. 19. Smith said this change is now "the law of the land" and suppliers are obligated to give farmers and ranchers preference in sup­ plying their needs of diesel fuel. In addition to farmers, those given preference under this revision are mass transit and those who produce the fuel itself. The mandatory distillate fuels allocation program went into effect Nov. 1,1973, basing a farmer's initial allocation on the amount of diesel and other distillates he had used in the corresponding month of last Bike Riding Rules 1.

Many lower income tax­ payers may be able to receive free assistance with their returns during the coming tax filing season if the Internal Revenue Service enlists enough volunteers for an unique public service program. The program, officially known as VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance), provides an excellent op­ portunity for concerned in­ dividuals and groups to assist taxpayers who have fairly simple filing requirements. year. Unfortunately, heavy rains and other problems developed in many states in 1972 bringing many farm ac­ tivities to a halt, and farmers had little or no record of fuel purchases usable as a base for current allocations. The revision now allows farmers to get the necessary fuel for fall work. Getty said that state and county offices of ASCS have been monitoring the farm fuel situation for months and assisting farmers by reporting their fuel needs to the ap­ propriate governmental units. He said this service will con­ tinue, but quoted Smith as saying "there are no fuel spigots at ASCS offices." Getty noted that fuel supplies for McHenry county could be very tight arid stressed the need for energy conservation. He added that farmers understand conservation and is sure that McHenry county farmers would be taking leadership roles in saving energy. Getty said, "We all need to make available supplies go further in the months ahead." mf • •• •d 100% SOUD-SIOTE Prices Include 1 Year Carry-In Service m m IT SVVW TCMITH •171 The MATADOR • E3855W Exciting new 17" diagonal Solid-State Chromacolor II compact portable.

The key to the VITA program is the recruitment and training of volunteer assistors who help taxpayers in their own neigh­ borhoods to complete their returns fully and accurately, without charge. Assistors come from many sources, such as colleges and universities, community action and welfare groups, religious a n d g o v e r n m e n t a l organizations, fraternal societies, and the like. The IRS provides free training materials for this program, enabling the volunteers to train themselves before they go out to help others. PAGE 17- PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 12 197:$ 1 A commitment to VITA means giving up as many hours per week as the assistor wishes. Details of the VITA program can be obtained from the IRS by writing to "VITA Coor­ dinator, P.O. Box 1193, Chicago, Illinois 60690" or by calling 312-353-3118. There's little honesty left in conversations these days. * * * * Every citizen complains about the taxes that he has to pay. PiUspurgeons Market Place Shopping Center 4400 W.
