Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 1972 Page Twelve IRS Checks Airports Balanced Tires a Bargain in Rides and Front End Alignment For Compliance On Excise Taxes In any case, the Council adBalanced tires arc just as important as a balanced budget, vises motorists to keep "their says the Tire Industry Safety balance for safetys sake. Council. Motorists with balanced tires may help balance their budgets by spending less for fewer front end alignments, getting a better ride in the bargain. Its a good idea to have both the static and dynamic balance checked when you buy tires and rechecked when you rotate the old ones, says the Council. This is especially true at rotation time if you have noticed abnormal tread wear or a continuous tramp or vibration in your tires. Tramp, which can occur in front or rear tires, usually happens at high speed and is caused by a wheel hopping or bouncing up and down. It can be felt throughout the car. Correction may call for static balancing, the equal distribution of weight around the axis of rotation of the tire. This is usually accomplished by placing weights around the rim of the tire at a proper point or points as determined by a balancing machine. In addition to imbalance, the tramp may be caused by bad shock absorbers or loose linkage in the front end. Vibration or wheel shimmy, a wobbly condition of the front wheels, may ocur at low speeds, particularly in turning. It is normally felt in the steering and throughout the car. This condition may be corrected by dynamic balancing as to equalize the distribution around the plane, or face of the tire from side to side. A balancing machine is again used to determine proper placement of any necessary weights. This type of imbalance may also be caused by loose front-en- d linkage, as well as loose steering gear parts or faulty steering gear adjustment. The car and the tires should be checked by a reputable mechanic or dealer to determine what the problem is. Education Grant for Migrant Children Box Elder, Cache, Carbon, Davis, Utah, Weber and Salt Lake Counties serving about 800 chil- dren of migrant agricultural workers, will benefit from a federal grant of $211,893 awarded to the office of the Utah Super-inendeof Public Instruction, was announced it by Dr. Leon P. Minear, education commissioner for the Department of Health, Education and Welfares Region VIII. The money is provided by a 1967 amendment to Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 which provides special educational and supportive services to children of migratory agricultural workers. Nationwide, the program serves some 250,000 children at a cost of $65 million. The programs are designed to try to make up for the frequently interrupted and ineffective schooling migrant children receive as they and their parents follow the crops. The Utah State Migrant Education Program will operate during the summer. Its major objective is to improve the migrant childs opinion of himself through success in school, especially in reading and math skills and oral communication. bilingual teachers and teacher aids will explore Indian ctultural values with the chilnt Well-train- ed dren. Transportation, regular meals and medical and dental care will also be part of the projects.

Wise, district director for the IRS, announced. The IRS officers will be looking for potential tax liabilities under the Airport and Airway Revenue Act of 1970. The director explained that, under the Act, the owner of an airport facility, other businesses operating at the facility, and in some cases, individual aircraft owners who use the facility may e liable for one or more of the following taxes: 1. Transportation of persons by air - 8 percent of ticket price. 2. Transportation of property by air - 5 per cent of cost. 3. Gasoline used in aviation - 3c per gallon. 5. Aircraft Use Tax - $25 plus a poundage tax. 6. International Travel Facilities Head Tax - $3 per head. Although the IRS and major oil companies have undertaken various information and publicity programs, there is still an apparent lack of understanding and compliance on the part of many airport operators. An IRS survey indicated that taxes on aircraft fuel used in noncommercial aviation were most likely to be neglected, with taxes on transportation of persons and property, and the aircraft use tax in that order, next. The Airport and Airway Revenue Act of 1970 was passed by Congress to increase the funds available for the maintenance and improvement of the nations airway system. It estab lished a 10 year trust fund program which is financed in part through the user charges im- posed on those who use the airnon-commerc- ial Cable Televisionto Bring New Programs and Problems Experts are predicting that within the next eight years as many as 60 per cent of American homes will be capable of tuning in programs on 40 television channels. TV can then be uncollared from the need to appeal to mass audiences. Perhaps it can then satisfy the depth the multitude of needs and interests harbored in its viewers. All this will be brought about by means of the coaxial cable and some important rulings expected to be handed down soon by the Federal Communications Commission. The coaxial cable will bring down and lay low such antenna devices as rabbit ears and other metal skeletons that have been haunting chimney and roof tops for lo these many years. The FCC must wrestle with such big problems as broadcasters who argue that allowing cables to pick up stations from other cities is unfair competition. Also, some copyright holders quarrel when a nearby cable station receives distant showings of movies and transmits them to local subscribers without paying royalties. Once legalities are ironed out and homes are wired in, then the goodies may arrive. These may include specialized entertainment such as sporting events of interest to a particular area or legi- - timate theatre, supported by subscriber fees and ads; all news channels; and educational broadcasts. Business will profit by being able to transmit all sorts of information from office to office by special circuits hooked to TV sets. Sick children confined to bed will be able to take part with class mates overtwo way TV. A shopper will be able to sit in his easy chair and order merchandise shown by stores. More Job Openings For Utah Workers Utah employers placed 1,098 job openings with the offices of the Utah Department of Employment Security the week ending June 17, said the employment security office. Calls for workers were off about 100 from the pace of the past few weeks, and probably reflect the impact of the first week with the states full summer labor supply hitting the job finding trail. During the same week a year ago employers listed 807 openings, indicating this years labor demand is continuing to hold at least a third better than 1971. New unemployment reflected by the 1,043 initial claims filed was down slightly from the week ago rate with the pattern remaining uniform across the state labor areas. A year ago 1523 new claims were filed during the comparable week. Continuing unemployment has represenetd by 7,980 weeks of continued unemployment started back down after a brief climb to 8,223 the week before had reversed a two month downward ports and airways. Mr. Wise urged airport operators to contact their nearest IRS offices for information on the airport and airway filing requirements and to ask for free copies of Publication 510, Information on Excise Taxes for 72.

A LOOK AT THE BOOK Men glibly talk about "searching for truth. You do not have to search for truth. If you accept Jesus Christ, you have truth. He is "the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6); and He says, "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32). The Christian who is not spiritually discerning may be deceived and may be led away from truth. But if this happens, it is his own fault. No man has to be deceived. We have Gods Word, the Bible; and if we have opened our hearts to the teaching of Gods Holy Spirit through Gods Holy Word, we will not go into error. Gods Word protects from error. I have never known people involved in any of the cults who really knew the Word of God. They know parts of the Word. They are well versed in the pet doctrines of their false religion. But they do not know Scripture. My friend, Gods Word is One, and Gods Word is Truth; and everything is to be tested by the light of the Word. You are not to "parrot things the world says. To do that is to find yourself led astray. The attitude of the world is that "we will solve everything by breaking down all the barriers God has erected. We do not want barriers between truth and error, between nations, between races. The barriers God has erected and they are many are for mans good. They have been divinely set up that "haply men might seek after God (Acts Citizenship Short in Washington, D.C. for National Course, take time out from their whirlwind Capitol Hill visit to pose with Utah Senator Frank E. Moss in his office. After a short welcome, Senator Moss Utah 17:27). When a man is saved, God gives him a new nature. Then God tells him how his mind should function. Not only is the saved man to put away ungodly lusts; he is also to put away ungodly opinions. He has a new mind. Ilis whole mental process is different. God says that "if you have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holi- ness (Ephesians 4-- H i 4-- H answered questions on how the Senateworks.
