Your 1953 Income Tax
Taxpayers visiting the local
Internal RAevnue Service office
at 201 Post Office Bldg., for help
with their federal income tax re
turns should bring all necessary
data and records with them, Mr.
R. C. Granquist, District Direc
tor of Internal Rcvnue, said to
day. Mr. Granquist explained that
Internal Revnuc agents, when
asked to help prepare a return,
must have all data and records
pertaining to the taxpayer's 1953
income, exemptions, and deducti
ble expenses.
"It is especially important that
the taxpayers also bring all tax
withholding statements they re
ceive from employers," the offi
cial said.
"Our agents will render as
much service to each taxpayer as
time and personnel limitations
permit," he assured the public.
"But taxpayers can do their part
by filling out as much of the tax
return as they can and bringing
with them full and accurate data
and all withholding statements."
Mr. Granquist stated that the
aim of the taxpayer assistance
program is "to help the taxpay
ers to help themselves." He add
ed: "Of course, we cannot give a
blanket invitation to all taxpay
ers to have their returns pre
pared by our personnel."
He advised taxpayers who seek
some assistance at the Internal
Revenue office to bring mathe
matically correct data. If some
expenses are part business and
part personal in nature, the tax
payer may deduct the business
portion on Schedule C of Form
1040, but he may not deduct the
personal portion of those ex
penses in Schedule C. Some per
sonal expenses are, however, dc
dcductihle on page 3 of the re
turn, Mr. Granquist said. '
Taxpayers whose income con
sists entirely of wages often do
not have any allowable business
deductions, he said, in which
case they arc limited to deducti
ble personal expenses only.
The tax official listed the prin
cipal kinds of personal expenses
which may be deducted, as fol
lows: Contributions to recognized re
liRious and charitable organiza
tions. Medical expenses of the tax
paver and his dependents, which
arc deductible in full if the tax
payer is 65 or over, and other
wise arc deductible to the ex
tent that they cxecccd 5 of his
adjusted gross income, subject
In all cases to maximum limita
tions. State and local taxes and auto
mobile license fees, but not fed
eral taxes.
Interest paid on personal in
debtedness. Nonbusiness losses Hue to
casualties such as accidents, fire,
storm, and shipwreck, or due to
theft.
Alimonv payments made
periodically and reported as tax
ahlc income by the person re
ceiving them.
The tax official pointed out
that instead of itemizing their
personal deductions, taxpayers
mav accept a standard deduction
which is usually equal to 10 ol
one's income. Mr Granquist said
that about 45 million of the 58
million taxpayers who filed last
year found it to their advantage
to accept the standard deduction.
"It not only reduces the tax
liability of many taxpayers, he
said, "but it makes filing a tax
return much simpler.

Astronomers Not Alone in
Pondering Things Celestial
By J. HUGH PRUETT .
(Astronomer, Extension Division,
Astronomers arc not the onlyf
ones who observe and ponder
over celestial phenomena.
Quite recently a correspondent
stated that he had noticed sun
rise came later each morning
for sometime after December 22
(some years Dec. 21), the winter
solstice and shortest day of the
year.
A few years ago an office
worker wrote as follows: "I dis
tinctly noticed that Jan. 12, three
weeks after the solstice, it was
very much lighter as 1 was going
home from work than on Dec. 1,
three weeks before the solstice.
Please explain." Similar ques
tions have come from others.
It is generally known that the
days begin to lengthen immcdi'
alely after the solstice, although
by only a matter of seconds at
first. Almanacs giving sunrise
and sunset to the nearest min
ute often seemingly show irregu
larities. But keen observers find
that old Sol shows his face above
the horizon constantly later and
later each morning for fully two

using aaia l compiled a few
years ago for 44 degrees north
latitude on a standard time me
ridian, we find that Dec. 22 had
the sun above the horizon 8 hr.
54 min., and both Dee. 1 and
Jan. 12 were of equal length, 9
nr. iu min. liut on Jan. 12 both
sunrise and sunset occurred ex
actly 20 min. later than on Dec.
1. So Jan. 12 had a darker 7
a.m. and a lighter 5 p.m. than
Dec. 1.
The complete causes of this
seeming irregularity cannot be
tuny explained here. The 23Vi
degree inclination of the earth's!
axis to the plane of its orbit
makes the sun appear very low i
in the south in winter. After
Dec. 22, it rises and sets slight
ly farther north along the east
ern and western horizons each
succeeding day. This tends to
result in earlier sunrises and
later sunsets; day longer at
Dotn ends.

But since the earth moves
most rapidly on its orbit around
the time of New Years when
nearest the sun this makes
the sun seem to move most ra
pidly eastward among the stars
it is charging through snaca
throughout December and Janu
ary with greater than its average
speed. At clock noon it is far
ther cast by a greater amount
over the previous noon-position
than at any other time of year.
This delays both sunrise and
sunset. It shortens the day at
one end: lengthens il at the
other.
The tendency toward the sun's
earlier appearance due to rising
farther north each' day, is for
two weeks after the solstice
more than neutralized by its ex
cessive eastward shifting. But
these two effects add together
favorably at the other end,
causing abnormally delayed sun
sets. There is enough to spare
to make the sum total of day
light hours increase immediate
ly after the solstice.
