Residents Reminded Of Income Tax Filing Portland Every citizen of the United States who had a gross income of $600 or more in 1958, including mi nors, must file a Federal in come tax return on or before April 15, R. C. Granquist, di rector of the internal revenue service for Portland district, has reminded all citizens. If the taxpayer is 65 or over by Jan. 1, 1959, he is required to file only if his gross income was at $1,200. He added that even though a taxpayer is not required to file under these : rules, he must file to obtain a refund of any tax withheld from his salary or wages. Granquist said there is one exception to the general rule. Sell-employed persons must HOW CHRISTIAN SCIENCE HEALS file an income tax return and pay a self-employment tax if ; net earnings from self-em-' ployment are $400 or more. Self-Employed He explained that self-em-; ployed persons are those car-1 rying on a trade or business as sole proprietors, as mem bers of a partnership, or ren dering services as independ-' ent contractors. s Granquist said the deadline least ; or filing is April 15, but he urged taxpayers to file as soon after Jan. 1, as possible and the return mailed to the "District Director of Internal Revenue" for the districj in which the taxpayer lives. He added that checks or money orders for any tax due should accompany the return and should be made payable to the "Internal Revenue Service.' Granquist advised taxpay ers that if they have any questions concerning the re turn filing requirements, they may secure . further informa tion by calling at or by writ ing to their local Internal Rev enue office. Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERFr MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford. Oregon, Sunday, January U, 1959 5 Station KWIN 1400 K.C Sundays 10:15 A.M. The geography of the, moon is called selenography. Over 30,000 moon craters have been identified by astronomers. ONE OF Cornelius Otis Skinner's most nerve-wracking ex periences came when she saw a little boy stroll uncon cernedly directly into the path of an oncoming convertible. She screamed, snatched him up under her arm, and jumped with him to the safety of the curbstone. He turned out to be a midget of forty, with a quaint, explosive, and ex tensive t)cabulary. An American who had gazed upon the majestic sweep of the Mississippi and Columbia Rivers, could not hide his dis appointment when first he saw the River Thames from" his London hotel window. "Is that dinky little stream the one I've heard so much about?" he grumbled. "You must remem ber," his English guide reminded him, "that the mighty rivers you have seen in America are merely water; the Thames, sir, is liquid history:" The historical slogan, "54-40 or Fight," brings back memories to Groucho Marx. He claims he once had a girl with exactly the same measurements. O 1959, by Bennett Cert Distributed by King Features Syndicate.

Salem Oregon drivers should remember to keep cars well ventilated, even in cold weather, the department of motor vehicles said today. Failure to do so can result in carbon monoxide poison ing, which, in itself, can prove fatal and may tie indirectly responsible for a number of traffic accidents each year for which no apparent reason can be found, other than driver inattention or "asleep at the wheel." Drivers also were reminded to open garage doors before starting cars. To "warm up" the engine in a closed garage is inviting an accumulation of the dangerous gas. Finally, car owners are re minded that the best way to prevent carbon monoxide from entering the car in ex cessive amounts is to make sure the exhaust system works properly. The word "jaywalking" to describe crossing the street against traffic rules was first used in Harper's Magazine in June, 1917. "Jay" meant a wanderer in 17th century England and later came to mean a fool or simpleton.
