Show FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 1974 Page Twelve For Faster IRS Refund File During January Want your refund faster this year? The Internal Revenue Service said this week that all taxpayers who file their tax returns in January should get a refund in four to five weeks and after January it may take six to eight weeks. Roland V. Wise IRS District Director for Utah, said that the January filers gain about a two week advantage over those who file later because the 10 IRS service centers can process returns and approve refunds mcuh faster early in the filing season when workloads are not heavy. Taxpayers who file early can avoid making the errors that often occur in their rush to mee the April 15 deadline. Those who wait until the last few weeks to file often fail to read the instructions carefully, neglect to sign the return or forget to attach all schedules and These mistakes can delay a refund for as long as four additional weeks. W-2- s. Department Prints Job Safety Health Questions and Answers The U.S. Department of Labor has issued the first in a series of publications answering the most commonly asked questions about job safety and the health standards. The series is designed to assist employers to comply with the standards, said Curtis A. Foster, Acting Assistant Director for Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) in Denver. The 30 page booklet covers part 1910, the OSHA general industry standards. Included are such topics as walking and working surfaces, means of exit, platforms, occupational health and general environmental controls, electrical hazards, personal protective equipment, fire protection, and Re-gion- el To avoid the rush and receive an early refund of the money due them Mr. Wise urged taxpayers to start getting their tax records together now. machine guarding. Foster emphasized that these answers do not constitute an official interpretation of any of cur standards nor can they be used to modify our rules or exempt anyone from application of our standards. Each working place in the nation represents a unique situtaion as far as hazards are concerned so that blanket answers are impossible for all standards. It will be up to the employer to utilize the information contained here for his own benefit.

Will it ever return? It was the gasoline powered internal combustion engine that emerged as the standard power plant because it surpassed other tpyes of engines in performance, efficiency and convenience, but in efforts to find a cleaner engine auto manufacturers have renewed their interest in electric and steam power and, in fact, spent over $72 million in 1973 and $90 million in 1973 on research for a clean power source. The advantage of a battery-powere- d car over one that is gasoline powered is a noiseless, fumeless operation. The disadvantages, however, currently off set the advantages. In its present state of development the battery powered car is limited in both cruising range and performance. The car weighs much more than a comparable gasoline electric fueled car because of the trunk-fu- ll of batteries required, and the electric car would also be more expensive to produce. The future of the electric car depends on major breakthroughs in battery technology. Smaller units of a much greater capacity are required. Also required is the availability of vastly expanded clean power generating facilities such as atomic power plants, since the electric cars would have to be recharged over night. This would mean plugging the charger into an electric outlet, and would require the electrical power stations to produce additional current to cover this new demand. The power companies are hard presed to cover present power requirements and may even be forced to cut back production on account of the oil shortage. Most power plant generators operate on oil. They can also operate on coal, but this would create an air pollution problem worse than that created by the gasoline power cars. A different type of propulsion system would also necessitate retraining the hundreds of thousands of technicians required to service these vehicles. The gasoline engine remains a front runner in the search for a cleaner engine, even though research into alternate propulsion systems continue and, in time, todays piston engines may be replaced.

For your listening enjoyment The new Bibles that dont look much like Bibles: Theyre made of denim, feature photos . . . and appeal to youth. You Cant Always Tell A Bible By Its Cover By Clarence E. Duncan People used to buy the Bible in record numbers just because they thought every home ought to have one. Today the best seller is still the Bible, but its because more people than ever are reading and studying ecially the young. A lot of things have been done to improve circulation, from cloaking the Good Book in blue denim to selling it in a variety of licorice, vanilla, etc.-- all aimed at reaching the contemporary youth. But the biggest boost has been the of making the Bible easier to understand and to read. In the long run this has attracted by far the largest number of young readers. Of course, thats what William Tyndale had in mir J when he brought out the first printed Iir.eJLh Ne-flavors-strawbe- rry, by-produ- ct Testament-- to make it available to the folks who werent able to read it. So its reaL'y no coincidence that the fastest selling Bible c:i the mar- ket tcday-T- he Bible"-- is Living published by a company called Tyu;!.'; House, wliich recently r; i iis 2 millionth copy off the 1 -- press. Thus, while the Thomas Nelson Co. has as its slogan Nelson Bibles are bound to be better, and finds blue denim its hottest cover, Tyndale House has its Living Bible listed in Publishers Weekly magazine as the best n book of selling non-fictio- 1972. Young people continue to have a lot to do with the rise in Bible sales-- up 20 per cent across the board this year. Theyre starting Bible study groups in numbers and providing the challenge to their elders w follow their to lead. The Living Bible is a ever-increasi- translation paraphrased has which changed many of the conventional patterns of Bible distribution and reading. Tyndale House maintains, however, that it has taken iis share of the Bible market from the mass of people who yearn to understand what the Book is say- - DIRECTLY FROM THE STAGE OF THE METROPOLITAN OPERA HOUSE IN NEW YORK These live broadcasts, heard throughout the United States over the Opera Radio Network, and in Canada over the CBC English and French Radio Networks, are proudly presented by Texaco-Metropolit- stance, Ecclesiastes is prefaced by a photograph of a young woman standing by a Volkswagen. New Testament versions of The Living Bible include one for young people called Reach Out, and one for blacks, called Soul Food, Each utilizes the TEXACO souped-u- p photographs and pertinent copy which makes it a book of practical use. The next market The Living Bible will try for is women. Paul Mouw, advertising manager for Tyndale, pointed out that women control most of the money and theyre interested in passing on the faith to their children The Living Bible got off to a slow start 1 1 years ago, with practically everybody predicting it wouldnt sell. Then Billy Graham decided to use it on his television show as a free offer.. Its been going great ever since, and is a big item in J.C. Penney stores, Macys and many other secular outlet.;.
