Wy Koo BY Pah-Tod- will Moon Lake Electric 19-2- Association Your antenna could put you in touch with a lot more than you bargained fur. Extending the range of your antenna is one thing. Reaching our power lines with it is another. The slightest contact between you and our lines, via your antenna, could be fatal. Hundreds of persons in the U.S. have been electrocuted in this manner in the past several years. So, before you pul up your antenna, here are a few suggestions you should follow. First, we recommend you have a professional do it for you, especially if your assembly is over thirty feet tall. If you're determined to do it yourself, look out for power lines, both the ones between the poles and the ones attached to your house. If you can't tell a power line from a phone line, don't gamble with your life, steer dear. If you have questions about our power lines, call us. Then, make sure you locate your antenna (including supporting mast and guy wires) at least two times its total height from all power lines. That way, if it falls during installation, or gets blown down during a storm, it won't hit any lines and endanger you or your neighbors. Trying to carry an antenna, climb a ladder and keep your balance all at the same time is risky business, too. Get a few people to help you and wait for a calm, dry day to do the job. Assemble the antenna where you intend to put it up. To guard against damage or injury from lightning, provide a spark-ga- p or some other lightning protector for your antenna, and be sure to ground the mast or other support structure properly. For more information on antenna safety, write to U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Washinge ton, D.C. 20207, or call RJHS schedules PTO meeting The Roosevelt junior high school Parent Teacher Organization will hold a meeting Feb. 26 at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the school.

Dr. Bates ia in charge of all the youth in custory programs in Utah. He was the superintendent of the State Industrial School in Ogden. The PTO encourages all parents to attend this meeting. Some exempt from witholding IN RECOGNITION For her many years of past service to the Moon Lake Electric Association, Zella Rust Bennion received this plaque at the annual meeting of the p February 7. Presenting the award was the past president of Moon Lake, Harry Fieldsted. co-o- toll-fre- Part-tim- e and workers can receive more in each paycheck and avoid filing a Federal income tax form by requesting exemption from having Federal taxes deducted from each pay, the Internal Revenue Service says. A request for exemption on Form W-"Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate," stops Federal income taxes from being deducted from your pay. Employees must have owed no taxes in 1980 and expect to owe none this year in order to qualify. or only Students who work part-tim- e during the summer probably meet the necessary requirements. The advantage of this procedure, according to the IRS, is that a taxpayer who would ordinarily receive a full refund of money withheld will not have to file a return. However, claiming exemption from withholding of Federal income tax has no effect on a taxpayer's social security (FICA) tax deduction, the IRS points out The exemption certificates expire on April 30 each year and a new Form W-must be filed before that date, if the employee ia still qualified and wishes to remain exempt. If an employee, even one qualified for the exemption, neglects to file Form W-the employer ia required by law to withhold income tax. The employee is responsible for revoking the exemption when he or she expects to owe taxes. In order to stop the exemption, the employee must file a new Form W-- 4 with his or her employer. low-inco- . Senior Citizen Nevrs n tamtamn Aging Director for Duchesne and Daggett Counties, Max Hartman, took over the reins of his new job last week, along with his assistant, Fred Jones, and spent Monday and Tuesday on the Wasatch Front at training sessions to help start money flowing to the two counties. It was determined that there will be money available for a part-tim- e employee under the Senior Community Employment Program. This program is designed to help older people who need to work, but who eant get jobs. The individual must be 55 or older and low income. A single person should not have an annual income of over $4,600. A couple is about $2,000 more. The job will be in the west part of the county, namely Duchesne, and will include outreach, bookkeeping, some typing and secretary skills and bus driving. It will be 20 hours a week and pay $3.35 per hour. Anyone interested should call Job Service. An interesting letter came in saying that Utah does not have nearly as many applicants for energy assistance as was expected, so they are asking us to advertise the energy assistance program to be sure that everyone who qualifies has the necessary information to make application. The energy assistance program pays for fuel bilk for people who are on a low income. If you know of anyone and who might qualify, call ask for more information. The bus trip tomorrow, Friday, is scheduled to head southeasterly, but only if the weather ia nice. If you aren't sure, call the center, or one of the bus drivers, if you know who's driving.
