One of the traditional flowers for Christmas is the Poinsettia. With the hybrid introductions in the last few years, many people are able to keep these plants in flower past Easter. Give these plants all the sun they can get (keep foliage away from the cold glass). Night tem­ peratures of 65 to 70 degrees F. are desirable and keep the soil moist without being wet. Vegetative shoots may form after several weeks. They should be removed while still small - before they grow up through the bracts. About 4 to 6 weeks after receiving this plant, it should be lightly fed with a soluble fertilizer. Repeat every 4 weeks while plant is in color, Christmas Cactus - if kept year •«» year will need night ti» in-rature* below 70 degrees, «H1U<'IK1 watering, and 12 to 15 hour night*, starting Sep­ tember I to be in flower by ChrlMmaH During the day, fllve full Hun.

Azaleas normally a spring potted gift plant are becoming more and more popular during the winter holidays. These cheerful plants like full sun, cool nights (60 to 65 degrees F.) and a moist soil but not wet. For those of you who like a warm house at night, place your gift plant on the floor of a closet located along an outside wall. Temperatures will often be cooler there - just remember to take the plants out in the morning. TAX FACTS Community Organizations Can Collaborate With IRS In Its VITA Program Organizations on the lookout for an ideal public service activity might well consider teaming up with an unusual and, perhaps, unlikely partner - - the Internal Revenue Service. For the fourth consecutive year, the IRS is conducting the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, people helping people with their tax returns is basically what the VITA program is all about. It's no secret that thousands of low-income taxpayers -- especially senior citizens and individuals who speak very little English -- find it difficult to prepare their own tax returns. The result is that many of these people invariably turn to a professional tax return preparer for assistance. Of course, millions of tax­ payers seek out paid professional help during the filing season. The IRS recognizes the important role carried out by the tax returns preparation industry. But many low-income tax­ payers usually have very simple 1040A returns to prepare and cannot afford to pay for professional assistance. This is where public service organizations and VITA come into play. If an organization can enlist members willing to help taxpayers complete their tax returns fully, accurately, and without charge, the IRS will train these helpers or assistors, as they are called under the VITA program, in basic income tax procedures. This training prepares these assistors to help taxpayers in preparing their returns for those with simple filing requirements. Volunteers need not have tax backgrounds. With a basic understanding of arithmetic, they can easily master the VITA course. In terms of commitment, the VITA assistoi* can devote as much or as little time as he desires to assist taxpayers. And in scheduling the VITA sessions, arrangements are left to the discretion of the local group or organization. Here, in a nutshell, is how VITA works. The Elm City Lions club comes up with twenty-five VITA assistors. The club makes arrangements to have its meeting place available every Wednesday evening from 7 to 9 p.m. for providing VITA assistance. The IRS, in turn, trains the assistors, provides them with the necessary forms, schedules and background materials. The IRS also makes available to the club posters, flyers, and other informational materials to help alert taxpayers to the free assistance. As an adjunct to informing people, the club is encouraged by the IRS to generate its own publicity. Right now, the IRS is con­ tacting national public service groups and organizations asking them to participate in the VITA program for 1974. Other national or regional and local organizations which may not have been contacted but would like to participate in this unique "people helping" ac­ tivity should call their local IRS office and mention "VITA participation." Looking back at the 1973 VITA experience, some 30,000 volunteers helped a million people. The 1974 goal is 1.2 million.
