Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1970 Socal Security tax on house- hold wages is 4.8 per cent fof the employer and 4.8 per cent for employee. When the quarterly report is filed, a check or money order representing 9.6 percent of the case wages reported for the period should be included with the return. Form 942, Employers Quarterly Tax Return for Household Employees, must be used to report the Social Security taxes due. After the first one is filed, a copy of Form 942 is mailed to every employer in time for the next quarterly report. Mr. Wise said that anyone who hires a maid, cook, cleaning woman, governess, housekeeper, caretaker, gardner, chauffeur, etc., is liable for Social Security taxes if cash wages of $50 or more in a quarter are paid to an employee. Money given to employees for car fare is to be counted in total wages paid but the value of meals is not included. Failure to pay Social Security taxes can delay payment and decrease the amount a maid receives when she later applies for benefits. Often when maids or other household employees apply for benefits, it comes to light that all Social Security taxes have not been paid. IRS then has to secure delinquent returns, Forms 942, from the employer, sometimes covering several years with a substantial amount of taxes and penalties due. No taxes are due on amounts paid to persons who are independent contractors and not the household employees. Mr. Wise said this exempts payments to painters, plumbers, repairmen, Arizona Resident Nominated for National PTA Office Mrs. Milton M.

There is no better place for informed citizens ot become involved with the management of natural resources than in the schools of our country. Maintaining harmony between natural resources and people has always been the Forest Service goal. Our success today requires more than ever that all people understand the importance of wise resource use and become involved in management processes, he said. TIME IS RUNNING OUT! 4-- H Forester Retiring, Successor Named Floyd Iverson of Ogden, top administrator of the Intermountain Region of the Forest Service will retire this month after 13 years as regional forester. He has been a Forest Service employee for 38 years. Mr. Iverson will be succeeded by Vernon O. Hamre, now a deputy regional forester in the Pacific Northwest regional head- quarters in Portland, Ore. Mr. Iverson entered the Forest Service as a field assistant in California in 1932, following his graduation with a bachelor of science degree in forestry from the University of California. Help Volunteered For Environmental College Teach-i- n THE NEW TELEPHONE DIRECTORY Requests are being received by Forest Service offices in the Region for assistance in Environmental Teach-Iplanned for college campuses in April. Regional Forester Floyd Iverson assures the interested students at all schools that Forest Service personnel stand ready and willing to help in any way possible. He urged them to contact their nearest Forest Supervisors office in southern Idaho, Utah, Nevada and western Wyoming. The students are running the show but we want them to know that we will help as requested with speakers, exhibits, and literature. Conservation activities such as tree planting and cleanup projects are available for individuals interested in bettering our environment. We in the Forest Service are entrusted with a significant portion of the peoples inherited wealth of air, water, land, and life forms. Most of the resources are not confined by geographical boundaries. The water in a river sometimes flows past homes and industries after or before leaving or entering a National Forest. The evening air of the mountains could have been the morn-nin- g air of a smoggy city, he said. n GOES TO PRESS SOON! i For information on: Personalized listings, changes in listings, or advertisements in the Yellow Pages, please call our Business Office.
