• J B ; _ Portland Observer, January 2, 1985, Page. 7 Throw a January Soup-er party P arly soups are an elegant yel eco nomical way to entertain for several reasons. First, consider the elegance of main dish soups that are brim m in g w ith good ingredients and presented in handsome tureens on a neatly a r ranged buffet. The cook can enjoy the party too, because all of the work has been done beforehand. Prepared ahead and served buffet style, party soups don’t require addi tion al hands in the kitchen or the dining room either, for that matter. C h ili C orn Carne has tiny ears o f corn and bite-sized meatballs flo a t ing in Bean with Bacon Soup and T o mato Soup. The meatball are made of ground beef, rice, egg and chili pow der, then browned with chopped on ion and cubed green pepper. Soup seasonings include ground cum in seed. T ’N ’ T Chicken Soup gets its name from two o f the seasomnings: tumeric and thyme. The base is a combination o f Chicken Gumbo Soup and Tom a to Rice Soup — both canned and con densed. Sliced zucchini and cubed cooked chicken are added, w ith a splash of pungent vinegar.

Do form letters keep on coming even after you have written? Are refunds still missing after many contacts? Oregonians who meet delays or red tape in solving their federal tax prob lems can get help from IR S’s Problem Resolution Program (P R P ) o ffice. This office serves as IR S ’s ombuds man to help taxpayers who have a l ready had unsuccessful contacts with IR S . The taxpayer deals w ith one person and is kept inform ed o f the case’ s progress until the problem is resolved. This last fiscal year, P o rtla n d ’ s PRP office handled 4,000 cases. The percentage o f cases (hat are handled through P R P is small compared to the millions o f Oregon contacts that are handled successfully each year without additional assistance. H o w ever, to an individual with a seem ingly unresolvable p ro blem , an om budsm an in In te rn a l Revenue Service is the answer. Problem Resolution should not be used as a substitute for normal pro cedures because most problems can be resolved through regular channels. PRP criteria are: (1) You have contacted IR S re garding the status o f a refund at least 90 days a fte r filin g an o rigin al or amended return. Subsequently a sec ond inquiry is necessary. (2) You requested inform ation or assistance more than 45 days ago and have received no acknowledgement or final response. (3) You previously responded to a billing notice and now have a third or subsequent notice indicating incorrect action or a lack o f action by IRS on your earlier response. (4) You notice repeated problems in a particular area that may be cor rected w ith an in itia l contact but could indicate an internal or process ing problem. There are some areas, how ever, that do not q u a lify fo r P R P assist ance. These areas include c rim in a l cases, tax protesters, non-tax admin istrative matters, problems with other agencies, refusal to pay, or cases where an established adm inistrative or formal appeal procedure should be used. PRP can be contacted by telephon ing 221-3960 in P o rtlan d or 1-800- 424-1040 elsewhere in O regon. A written summary o f (he problem and efforts made to correct it, including copies of any correspondence, may be m ailed to Problem R esolution O f fice.
