While people formerly tended to be reluctant to talk about what was after death, or even to consider the process of death itself, today there are classes and discussion groups as well as individual therapy sessions onthaantology the science of death. In discussions, people are to face the most incontrovertible fact of life their own as well as death that of others.

But they need to know what these breaks are, and how to compute them. With the average clergyman earning less than $10,000 a year despite years of training and experience, every little bit helps, especially in view of the tendency of many congregations to pass their old refrigerators and fur coats to the ministers family in the hope that such generosity will make him feel less disgruntled about his paycheck. In preparing returns, many clergymen have found helpful advice in the Clergys Feder1973 al Income Tax Guide Edition, prepared by the staff of the accounting firm of Ernst & Ernst and issued by the Press Abingdon of Nash- ville, Tenn., the Methodist publishing house. The booklet notes that it is that clergymen important understand and properly gain founding in 1872 the full advantage os providing preferential tax treatment for ministers, priests and rabbis." The principal tax advantage for ministers of the Gospel who do pastoral work or satisfy other criteria is .what is known as the parsonage exclusion. It gives those who are qualified an exclusion from their total income before deducations of either the rental value of a home furnished as part of compensation or the rental allowance paid as part of compensation if it is used to rent, buy or otherwise provide a home. To qualify under this clause, a clergyman must be ordained as a minister, priest or rabbi. Located at 2900 S. 1300 East, the hospital features a triangu ST.

Mrs. Patton advocated abolition of garnish-- ' ment and assignment of wages, letters of confession and other more severe legal remedies available to creditors to recover bad debts. Oit experience has been that once creditors no longer have these means of recovery, they quit granting credit to Dad risks, she said. Of equal importance to changes in the law is the maintenance of personal ethics in the business community. We have to let our conscience be our guide, she said. Utah received high praise from Mrs. Patton for both its credit laws and the high ethical Nostandards of its business community. where in the world would less need to be said on this subject, she said.

This can be accomplished at the special Although problems of too much debt hits poor people hardest, persons all up and down the income scale become overburdened. A former president of her own money management agency, Mrs. Patton noted that last year in private practice she counseled three families with incomes above $100,000 who had serious financial difficulties. High and middle income families in money trouble are usually overextended on housing. Formulas which used to help determine how big a mortgage a family could carry have, in many cases, become obsolete. For example, Mrs. Patton cited the rule that a family could afford a house which cost up to times its gross yearly income. Income taxes often make that formula too optimistic, she said. A more realistic rule is a family should not pay more Jian 30 percent of its net income eacn year for housing. Responsible credit granting is not easy. Mrs Patton conceded. Credit bureaus are no longer able to supply accurate information on a persons credit history and current obligations in manv cases. - An. Gordon T.

Noting that the State Board of Education had discussed the scope of its constitutional authority, Rampton wrote that I feel, however, that the determination of the respective powers and duties of the two boards should not be determined by a unilateral declaration of policy by either board, or even by an agreed statement of policy between the two boards. This is a matter which should have legislative attention as promptly as is practicable. The matter should be taken care of, he said, not later than the budget session which will meet in January 1974. . . WED. MEETING PRAYER Provided C irycf" All Ages Boptist f.

The equation of the IRS with the Gestapo is based on the absolute power of the police state which the agency holds to act as judge, jury and enforcer, Bray said. The rebellion leader advised an older man who asked how he should prevent the IRS from confiscating his property to ask law enforcement officers to arrest IRS agents who trespass in his home, and to next obtain court orders against their return.
