Labrum Interest rates are rising As I mentioned earlier in the year the normal procedure for interest rates is to go down in the fall and winters and then when the weather gets warm enough to build, the interest rates start up. Some people have said that because it is an election year the interest rates would stay down. In my ten years experience ex-perience in the real estate field I have never found this to be the case. The best advice I can give to anyone who is thinking of buying, building ' homes or commercial properties, the time to do that is now ! As you wait the year out, the best indicators are that interest rates will continue to rise. The best buys in every area of real estate are now, prices are down and the economy as far as growth, building and employment, are up. Stop dragging your feet if you're in the market to buy because even a few weeks could cost you a good deal of money. The Aeolian harp is a stringed wooden box played by the vibrations of the wind. The name comes from Aeolus, the Greek god of wind. TAXES nillman's Bookkeeping &' Tax Service "Over 35 years experience.

While this sport is a lot of fun, it can also be dangerous. Listed below are some no-no's that should be strictly adhered to for safety's sake: Materials Never use wire, tinsel or any metal in your kite or string, they conduct electricity. Hung Up If your kite gets caught in a power line, leave it there. Ask your parents to call the electric utility company, com-pany, they'll send someone to get it down. Power Lines Never fly a kite near power lines! Electricity could go right down the string to you. Choose a wide open place. Bad Weather Don't fly kites on rainy days. Wet strings are good conductors. Have fun but be careful! Rinse mushrooms to remove sand but never immerse them in a water bath. They absorb liquid quickly and would turn soggy. Open an IRA Every year, millions of taxpayers watch their money go up in smoke by not taking advantage of a tax break both encouraged and endorsed by Congress. If you're not opening or contributing to an IRA plan this year, you too could be letting up to $2,000 in tax deductions go up in smoke. If you're married, the total you and your spouse can deposit into two separate accounts is even more, whether . your spouse works or not. Whatever you put into your IRA, up to April 15, you simply deduct the full amount from your 1983 gross income. A feature you won't find when you look at other investments. The amount you can save on your taxes depends on your tax bracket (e.g. if you are in the 30 tax bracket, you can save up to $600 on your taxes, with a deposit of $2,000). But that's not all! The money you earn increases without being taxed. So you not only save on your taxes now, you build a retirement fund for later. Your investment grows faster than other investments because it grows tax-free, until you're ready to take it out Lester H. Girt passed away on May 5, 1966 in Vernal and left a charitable trust fund in the sum of $60,000. The income from the trust was for the benefit of needy children or the Uintah County Hospital. Since the Uintah Uin-tah County Hospital was sold to H.C.A., a private corporation, the income in-come from the trust was transferred to the Uintah County Commmissioners for their disbursement of the funds as received each year in accordance with the terms of the will. The will provides "...said income shall be used principally for the benefit of needy children..." If needy children are not the beneficiary, then the will provides that the funds may be used for indigent persons, requiring hospitalization, other than children. Anyone knowing of needy children who may qualify for help from this trust should file an application with the Uintah County Commission for review and approval before any funds can be disbursed from the trust. if? at First Interstate Bank. fi2 Flral IntenUK Bank ol t Z- ' , M - - '- & "IS OFFICERS OF the Vernal Chapter of the Utah Homemakers' Association are sitting left to right, Julie Burns, president, Catherine Anderson, advisor, Kathy Davis, secretary.
