Newspaper Page TextTUESDAY. OCTOBER 23. 1962 MEDFORD MAIL THIBUNE. MrJDtORD. ORhUun Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. WATKINS (Reciter and Tribunt Syndicate 1962) Sudden Darkneil Throws Bee OK Hit Flight Pattern "Angel o light" . . . that's the secret, says the voice of science. It is the method by which the insect finds its way home or to the field where the flowers are in bloom. By the means of some clever mech anism inside the body of the bee, the light angle activates the bee's direction of flight. It wouldn't "be afraid to go home in the dark." It just couldn't. When the bee leaves the home hive headed for the nectar-cache, the angle of the light striking its body dic tates the course, and the di rection is maintained for the time of the flight. It arrives. It gathers nectar or performs some action characteristic of its kind. Its task completed, It starts for home. On the homeward trip the light is coming from t different angle, but some how the adjustment is made. This point is a little sticky; science gels fouled up here. But evidently the bee knows how to reverse the course of flight to correspond with the opposite light angle, and it arrives home as per schedule. Try for Aniweri We hardly expected to find all the answers, but we tried. We prepared a box with a light-tight cover and a hinged lid. The inside was painted a dead black. We watched a flying col umn of bees traveling back and forth from their home FLYING A HEATING OIL Serviceman for repair & service of oil heat units.

Pacific Hwy. 772-6223 hive to a field where an abundance of blossoms of fered copious amounts of nec tar. We caught a bee and clapped it quickly into the black box. The excited buzz died down within a few sec onds; the bee thought it was night. We could imagine how the bee must have felt to have total darkness fall so quick ly. He must have thought what a short day this was; Just a brief space between bright sunshine and darkness, all in the flick of a wing. Sun ny skies . . . and whammo, darkness. Only one sensible thing to do: Take it easy. Re lax and wait for the morning and the light ... the guiding light. "Work for " e Night Is Coming" is a song the bee r iwr heard Alwavl before it had some warning that the day was ending witn the aiU" -o shadows growing progressive ly darker. Always it had plenty of time to get ready for the night, but mis was ioo sudden. Night had engulfed him. Shocking Darkness There had been no half light, no failing light; just s. iden, shocking darkness. It was a confusing predictment, enough to disorganize the most well adjusted bee. We kept the little creature In the dark for two hours; ap parently it slept all that time. In the meantime the sun had moved; the angle of light was ..,i,i Hlff.rBnl We opened the box, letting in the full light of the sun, ine Dee actually yawned, stretched out one leg after another, and took off in full flight.

The abrupt artificial night had evidently disrupted its Illgnt scneauie. As it disappeared in the dis tance, we could see that it had not as yet corrected its course. The questions that had prompted the experiment were still unanswered.

Riverside Realtors Adopt Six-Point Program For 'Mail' Sales The Medford Board of Real tors has adopted a six-point program by the National Association of Real Estate Boards to protect the public against the dangers of buying certain subdivided land by mail. The new program was an nounced this week end by Keith Bates, president of the Medford Board of Realtors. The six points are: 1. Reemphasis of existing policy (adopted this May) cau tioning the public against the purchase of real estate by mall without personal inspec tion or without obtaining the advice of a sound real estate advisor. 2. Realtor cooperation with law enforcement agencies to obtain enforcement of exist ing laws and correction of abuses in sale of subdivided lands. Modal Legislation 3. Reference to stale real estate associations for consid eration of model legislation. This legislation is aimed at regulation of subdivided land sales both in states in which the land is located and also in which it is offered. 4. Preparation of a suggest ed guide containing basic in formation by which prospec tive land purchasers may in form themselves on prudent steps to take in purchasing subdivided lands. 5. Cooperative work with publications to develop stand ards for use in accepting or rejecting offered advertising for subdivided lands and an appeal to publications to exer cise caution in accepting such advertising. 6. Provision for a continu ing committee to study all possible abuses in land sub division schemes and a recom mendation that all member boards support Better Busi ness Bureaus or other civic organizations In efforts to In vestigate and curb the "by mail" sale of subdivided lands. Bales explained that the executive committee of the 72.328-m ember association adopted the program recent ly. It urged the 1,434 local boards of realtors to check on any promotional efforts in their areas to sell distant land tracts by mail on basis of ad vertising claims and without adequate real estate counsel or pre-purchase inspection by potential buyers.

Your Money's Worth By SYLVIA PORTER Copyright, Hall Syndicate, Inc. THE NEW TAX LAWS MEANING TO YOU II TAX BREAKS FOR SELF-EMPLOYED If you are one of America's millions of self-employed professional and business men, you may, if you wish, set up a tax-sheltered retirement program beginning with 1963. For years, many self-employed have envied the special retirement plan tax breaks which have been limited to em ployees and corporation executives. But their requests for a law to give them somewhat similar benefits have been turn ed down again and again by Congress. Now, though, Congress has passed and the President has signed the Retirement Act ot 1962 to give you a retirement plan tax benefit of your own although it is not as sweet as the one available to the corporation executives. Here, in brief, is how the new tax break will work. You will, as a self-employed person, whether a profes sional or an unincorporated business man, be able to set aside and deduct a certain portion of your earned income each year for retirement purposes. While your retirement fund is accumulating and the money is being invested, the income earned by the fund will be tax-free. When you retire and start drawing on your retirement fund, you will pay tax on tht amount which your orginally deducted and on tha fund income you accumulated tax-free. Generally, every self-employed person with earnings from personal services can use a self-employed retirement plan. Thi3 includes doctors, dentists, lawyers, accountants, indi vidual proprietors, partners in hundreds of thousands of small business and commercial ventures. You can set up a plan even if you have no employees at at all. For instance, a dentist who may practice without any nurse or any other employee can establish his own plan Just for himself. But if you, the self-employed person, have employees working for you, you can set up a plan for your self only if you also cover and contribute for each employee who has been with you for three years or more (except those who work 20 hours or less a week or five months or less a year.) There is no age limit on setting up a plan. For practical purposes, though, there is no point in doing it if your are 70 or over, for the law would require you immediately to pay out all or some part of what you put into your fund. You also can set up a plan if your self-employed activities are only part-time. As an illustration, you many be one of the many who work as employees and carry on a self-employed sideline activity (such as preparing tax returns during tax season). Even if you are already covered by your em ployer's qualified pension or profit-sharing plan, you also can establish your own self-employed retirement program, basing it on your earned income from your self-employment. How much can you put into a retirement plan? There is an overall limitation and this also depends on your net earned income. First, understand that you are not required to do any thing at all about this, and undoubtedly many will decide to do nothing. Assuming that you do want a plan, ihe law will limit tha amount of your contribution and of your dtduction. You can contribute each year, starting in 1963, any amount up to, but no more than 10 per cent of your earned income. Your contribution, however, cannot exceed $2,500. You may deduct on your tax return for only one-half of your contribution each year to your fund. For instance, if your net earned income in 1963 is $8,000, you can set aside up to $800 for your retirement plan, but you can deduct only $400 on your 1963 return. If your net earned income is $28,000, you can set aside $2,500 (not $2,800) and deduct $1,250. So the most anyone can con tribute and deduct, no matter how large his net earned income is, will be $2,500 for the fund and $1,250 for the deduction. . For those in business In which personal services and captial are both income-producing as in a baking operation which has ovens and fixtures the law applies an arbitarary rule to determine how much of the self-employed individual's income from the business is earned. The earned income is a reasonable allowance as compensation for personal services, but the amount cannot exceed 30 per cent of the individual's share of the net profits of the business.
