Parents may be entitled to claim their child as a dependent on their federal income tax re-turn even though the child had earned $600 or more during the year, Roland V. Wise, director of Internal Revenue for the Salt Lake City district, reminded tax payers. He explained: "Even though your child is re-quired to file an income tax re-turn if he has income of $600 or more for the year, you may also claim him as a dependent if cer-tain conditions are met. "If you have furnished more than half of his support you may claim an exemptoin for him re-gardless of the amount he made, providing he had not reached his 19th birthday by Jan. 1, 1960. "When the child is 19 or over, you still may claim an exemp-tion for him if he was a full time student during some part of five calendar months in 1959 and if you meet the support test. A full time student is one who is en-rolled for the number of hours which is considered to be full time attendance. "In addition to attendance in the regularly recognized high schools and colleges or universi-ties, your child also will be con-sidered a student if he is pur-suing a full time on farm train-ing course under the supervision of an agent of a state or political subdivision. "Your child is not considered to be a full time student if he is employed full time during the day and attends night school, or if he is taking a correspondence course or an employee training course." Mr. Wise emphasized these special rules apply only to the taxpayer's own child, including an adopted child or stepchild.) Army Lists Changes In Reserve Units Recent changes in the designa-tions of the U. S. Army Reserve administrative units serving the state have emphasized that the active Army alone cannot fulfill the Army's mission to provide a Jr., the Salt Lake City Area commander, will become the Salt Lake City Subsector Com-mander. He will continue to have his headquarters at the USAR Center, Fort Douglas. The title changes do not affect existing field boundaries or local Army Reserve activities. Colonel Simpson pointed out that the current increased quotas of openings in all Army Reserve commands will help young men 17 to 18 years of age to fit their active duty military service into their education and career plans. well rounded defense capability, an Army spokesman said. The Army Reserve is considered to be a dynamic, vital part of the nation's defense structure. One change, effective in Janu-ary, dropped the "Reserve" iden-tification from the title of X U.S. Army Corps. X Corps is respon-sible for command, supervision of training, administration and support of the 91,000 Army Re-ervis- ts and ROTC students in Utah, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. Another change, effective Feb. 1 renames the 25 field regions of X Corps. The name of the Salt Lake City area command (USAR) becomes Salt Lake City Subsector Command. The Sector command generally follows state lines. Lt. Col. Thomas M. Simpson, Sen. Moss Asks For Russ Forestry Report Senator Frank E. Moss of Utah said that Secretary of Agricul-ture Ezra Taft Benson was be-ing asked to supply the U. S. Senate with a report on forestry progress in the Soviet Union. Senator Moss, who visited the USSR last fall on a survey of power and water resource de-velopment, said that what he saw of the Russian forestry pro-gram was most impressive. Senator James E. Murray of Montana, chairman of the Senate Committee on Interior and In-sular Affairs, at the request of Senator Moss officially asked Secretary Benson to prepare the forestry report which Senator Murray offered to print in con-formity with Senate Resolution 248. Senator Moss is a member of the Interior Committee. Senator Moss said: "It has come to my attention that a 7-m- an United States team made a study of Russian forestry last summer. The Interior Commit-tee now has before it the Re-source and Conservation act that proposes to set up a means of obtaining the most comprehen-sive surveys and recommenda-tions the U.S. has ever been able to obtain on overall conservation of our resources. I believe our consideration of the bill will be greatly aided by the report on Russian forestry resources and manaeement." If the report is filed, it will become a Senate document, as did the report of the subcommit-tee headed by Senator Moss in the USSR and the USA. In making his request to Sen. Murray, Sen. Moss stressed the relationship between water re-source development and forestry management. "We must exert every reason-able effort to apply our energies to sound resource development. From what I have seen of the Russian water power program, and what we all know they are doing in the space and missile field, it is apparent that we must put hard and dedicated work above an economy geared prin-cipally to luxury production," Sen. Moss said. the-LE-ASED GRAPEVINE William Arthur Thurgood Man-de- r, 83, a former member of the national finance committee of the Democratic party, died Sat-urday after an illness at his residence, 2832 S. 9050 West. He served on the finance com-mittee during the years shortly before and after World War I. For more than 25 years he was Democratic Party chairman of the Oquirrh District. Robert D. Kent, 1461 Kensing-ton Ave., was elected president of the Utah State Credit Union League during a league meeting at the University of Utah Union Building. He is managing direc-tor of the Utah State Employees Credit Union. - A new building which would house all state records has been proposed. The proposal was pre-sented by J. Grant Iverson, chair-man of the archives committee of the Utah State Historical Society who read a report from Dr. Ev-erett L. Cooley, who is in charge of the archives for the society. The Salt Lake City Commis-sion has agreed to give further study to a proposed new taxicab ordiance that would place me-ters in cabs. The matter will be voted on at the commission's next Monday night meeting. The temporary Salt Lake City Purchasing Committee conduct-ed its first meeting this week and Finance Commissioner Ted I. Geurts said he would recom-mend to the City Commission the minimum purchase amount to be considered by the commit-tee be increased from $100 to $300. . ThirH nictripf .Tnrtcrs A TT Ellett Thursday was honored at a luncheon at the Alta Club on his 25th year on the bench. The judge's former law clerks were hosts. Judge Ellett was elected to a city judgeship in 1934. In 1941 he was elected to the dis-trict bench. Atomic-Ag- e Guard (Continued from Page 1) Which brings to mind what some people are saying: that in the atomic age there is no real need for the Guard. We say that in the age of atomic, mass-destructi- on weapons there is greater need than ever before for a strong, effective Guard. Today the Guard has reached the highest level of train-ing and readiness in is 300 years of service. Don't take our word for it. Here's what a man who should know says: "I emphasize that in this era of terrible weaponry and of incredibly swift delivery systems and in a time when all America has moved from the rear echelons to the front lines in any future conflict, the continuance of the National Guard in instant readi-ness assumes even greater significance to every citizen." The man who made that forthright, unequivocal statement is Dwight D. Eisenhower. The Need For Teachers The work of the Advisory Council of the Democratic Na-tional Committee has been a subject of much praise in recent months. " The praise is justified. Recently the council turned its attention to the problems of education. Included in its report were the following observa-tions which we heartily endorse. "A far more formidable task than housing tomorrow's students will be providing them with good teachers. "About 1,500,000 new teachers must be recruited over the next 10 yearsi f the present ratio of teachers to pupils in the public schools is to be maintained. This exceeds the total number now in service. It would require about one-thir- d of all the four-yea-r college graduates expected in the same 10 years. Consider-ably fewer new college graduates than this can be expected to enter teaching even under improved conditions. Further, if present trends prevail a substantial proportion of new teachers may be drawn not from the ablest category from the bottom half of the ability spectrum of college students. Unless standards for teaching are raised and unless teaching becomes more attrac-tive to young peopleof high ability we may wind up with the tragic reality of poorer rather than better education. "There is no mystery about the shortage of good teachers. The 'small generation' of the Thirties has had to supply teachers for the 'large generation' of the Forties and Fifties. But an even more important factor is the increased market demand for able and well educated people for all kinds of non-teachin- g functions in our society. Despite recent substantial increases in teacher salaries the schools and colleges suffer a competitive disadvantage against other bidders for top-qualit- y manpower whose purses are stouter. "It should never be forgotten that our educational system is both a consumer and a producer of manpower. The human talents of one generation are required to develop the human talents of the next. If schools and colleges are deprived of their fair share of society's able manpower society will pay a heavy price later on; the effect is cumulative. The United States is today storing up serious trouble for itself. When as an example industry takes the lion's share of today's new crop of able young scientists and engineers it cuts down the nation's capacity to produce an equally good crop later. "The central issue of teacher supply for the next 10 years is not whether enough people will enter teaching. It is whether qualified people will choose teaching against other careers. If we act as if the problem is merely one of numbers our schools and colleges will become mediocrity mills at a moment of history when the pursuit of excellence is imperative. "Obviously the first requirement for improving the supply of good teachers is to improve their compensation. This will help attract them and hold them. Simultaneously the prestige of teaching must be lifted to a high level. Along with higher salaries and prestige must come a large scale strengthening of the teacher preparation programs of the colleges and univer-sities. "These approaches will strengthen the supply of able teachers. The problem must be attacked also from the demand side. The number of teachers required is determined not only by the number of students but by the method of teaching. Many of our conventional practices in education are demonstrably obsolete and inefficient. They waste the abilities of teachers and the time of students. Igprra INGROWN NAIL OMHURTING YOU?
