Some workers to use IRAs tax plan Qualified workers may make 1978 contributions to Individual Retirement Savings Arrangements tribute the correct (IRAs) until Monday, April 16, the 1979, Internal Revenue Service said. Most taxpayers who have Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs) no longer will be required to file an annual information return or schedule sup- porting an IRA deduction on Form 1040, according to the new provisions in the Revenue Act of 1978. Only those individuals who owe excess contribution taxes, premature distribution taxes, or taxes on certain accumulations in IRA accounts or annuities will file revised form 5329, Return for Individual Retirement Arrangement Taxes. Since assessed are penalties for execessive contributions, this 3 Vi period allows taxpayers to closely calculate and con- month per- centage of income, and still be able to deduct it from their 1978 taxable income. IRAs are taxpayer-initiate- d retirement plans set up by workers not covered by qualified pension or retirement plans where they are employed. IRAs also are available to nonworking spouses of eligible workers. Many banks, insurance companies, credit unions, and other financial institutions can provide additional information on setting up and maintaining IRAs. In addition, the IRS has a free booklet, IRA Publication Information Tax 590, on Individual Retirement Savings which can be ordered by filling out the coupon in the tax package.

To this point, we should give him no The subject display The Diamond Solitaire Collection, organized by the Diamond Information Center of New York for a nationwide tour of fine jewelry stores, will be on display at Johns Jewelry ' -- 3920 Wash. Blvd., Ogden, from Feb. 3 through 10. The Collection was created by American designers to reveal some of the many design possibilities for single diamonds solitaires, in other jewelry than engagement rings. The solitaire jewelry concept was conceived as a means for displaying sizable diamonds of about one carat and up. A stone of this size, according to designers, becomes the star rather than the embellishment. Its in- dividual character then takes on new importance and should be treated specially in its relationship to the overall design. ' The Solitaire Collection represents an astonishing range of original thoughts on the single stone theme. Much of the interest lies in the positioning of the diamond, or the means of featuring it, as much as the design which surrounds it. The stone may be simply cradled in a wedge of yellow gold, set in a channel so delicately that it is free to slide from one end to the Weber High beauties were recently voted upon as the royalty for the Key Club's Sweetheart festivities.

Most of the innovation in solitaire design is rooted in a functional concept. look aft FOporS SENATE MUST AVOID TYRANNY OF SILENCE Gmrd dJoseiy If you arent alert, you may miss a critically im- - By Edwin Feulner ' But first, think about this: Parents love their children and they tend to see in them what they want to see.'

(Whos left. I wonder?) What concerns me is the fact that by its very nature a filibuster is only used when the most controversial issues arc before the Senate. These arc the issues that also by their very nature require an infomied and alert public. To set the record absolutely straight, while literally thousands of bills gel introduced in Congress each term 22.313 during the 93th Congress alone through 1976 actions has ever been filibustered. Of thonly eighty-thre- e ese, Mrs. Carlisle tells us, only 21 ultimately failed to win approval. In the other cases what resulted generally was "the kind of moderate compromise typical of the Senate. The Senate rules are tricky business. It would be impos- -' sible to explain them all here.

Mr Singer was a firm disbeliever in the public education was teaching his system He felt the curriculum taught of this he withBecause and immorality. children selfishness drew his children from school, built his own own httle school house and commenced to teach his children the way he felt was right. Soon the Summit County School District called and that if he didnt get his approached Mr. Singer. They claimed children back in school, he could face civil charges. He refused to bow down. The case was brought to Judge John Farr Larson. They tried several times to arrest him, but all were unsuccessful. Once they were so sure of themselves that television. When they they wanted to record the arrest for went for his arm, they missed and he was able to reach for his that they leave gun from under his belt. He then demanded his proper'v. After many unsuccessful tries after that, the Police decided to study his daily pattern to see what he could be apprehended. They found the opportun time was when he went out to the mailbox. It was too far away if something should happen. Weil something did. When Mr, Singer went out to his mailbox on January 18, he saw five men approach him on foot and heard five snowmobiles coming from behind. Suddenly he was totally surrounded. He then told them to get off his property. They advanced. He drew his gun from his belt. The men from behind and not knowing what he was going to do, told him to put down his gun. When he didnt, then came the fatal shot. At first, the only law that Mr. Singer had broken was civil. That is the law that requires his children to be in school. This is the law that raises many controversial questions. Does the parent have the right to teach his children the way he pleases. Does the state have the right to tell parents how and what their chldren will learn regardless of what the parent feels. Should the States laws be revised? At this point, they arent revised, but again, the only laws Mr. Singer has broken are civil. Not that these laws dont count, they just are not that serious. The trouble arises when he begins shooting at the arresting officers, carrying a concealed weapon, and evading the arresting officers. Now with these three things, he can be charged with carrying a concealed weapon, attempted murder and resisting arrest. Three Federal offenses. If Mr. Singer left to teach his children, it might have been a catalyst for many student withholdings causing the State to lose thousands or maybe millions of dollars. Judge Larson decided to use this case as an example that if a parent is going to hold a child from school and teach it at home, it had better be done the right way, through the school system, or not at all. So now we come to the end of a struggle, the struggle for the Summit County School district. An end of a struggle for John Singer. vi.m.-- vlbHdii q liitf ATT erlT j iT u Jns rs W-2- Social Security e. hate-fille- W-2- W-2- W-2- W-2- W-2- P be-wit- Social Security er day-to-da- F-- F-- limitations of the oircraft, and I hove oircrome." a better grasp of the importance of tha holding pattams around the 5 January 18. 1979 by Janie Baggs .
