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

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. It had
remembered what was ex
pected of it; It took off In the

justcd itself to the angle of
light.
R,,l If ti,n nff rnnrse: It
missed the field. 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.

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.

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.
Next: Investing the retirement fund and examples of
lax savings for self-employed persons.
