the economy .and a wholesale-

it up in the sales tax column of

a bootleg tomater, and if ever-

Fred Bdnd, Administrative
Officer for the Fort Worth
area, cautioned taxpayers about
to file their 1973 federal in-
come tax return to'check it over
carefully before putting it into
the mail to the Austin Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) Center.
Mr. Bond said that taxpayers
who take that extra few min-
utes often firm errors ip arith-
metic or other basic? but com--
who taxe that exti*a few min.
have to be corrected in process-
ing and may deJay the issuance
of refund'checks.
Fort Worth taxpayers, he
said, should make certain they
provide the correct social sec-
urity number, take the correct
figues from * tax tables and
schedules, attach all necessary
documents, and' sign the return
if they want a prompt refund.
“One thing all taxpayers can
do to assure correct identifica-
tion of their tax return is to
attach the pre-addressed label
in the space provided on the
form they file.-w.ith th© IRS,"
Bond said.

The farm journals is saying
that more folks than ever afore
is tending gardens this spring.
Groceries costing what they, are
and are going to, it makes a
heap of sense to grow what we
can to eat. But the more sense
a homd garden patch makes
and the more it looks like folks
actual might cut dqwn on their
food cost with em, the more
worried I git about the Guvern-
ment gitting into gardening.
Fer shore. Mister Editor ,if
some economic egghead in
Washington stops to think that
a tomater raised at home and
eat at home is a tomater not
under price controls and USDA
inspection, he is going to de-
mand that fast action fer the
good of the country. That toma-
ter is outside the normal food
chain, it don’t git picked by the Learning to run a power
labor force under NLRB guide- sewing machine is. like driving
lines, it ain’t hauled nowhere in | a car. You have pedals to work
with your feet and you have to
guide with your hands. You also
have a knee lever that you use.
When you.push down on th'e
treadle 'on the . front edge it
begins to sew. When you press
down On the treadle with your
hell thq machine stops, lifts the .
needle, and cuts elf the thread
on top and bottom all in one
easy step.- The Ipft foot pedals
flips the material you have
sewn over into a neat stack.
The knee peadle raises the
presser foot; /
Sounds simple. Well, maybe
for you. They put you on scrap
material for several days and
you practice. The first hiflidred
corners I turned I pressed down
on the treadle with my heel and
cut off all the thread. That’s
no.t the way you turn the cor-
next thing you know folks will ner. You are supposed to judge
the speed of your machine just
right and have the needle stop
in the down* position so you can
process- J-turn the material at the exact
spot, hit the knee lever to raise
the presser foot, turn the ma-
terial, lower the presser foot,
push down on the treadle with
your toe and resume sewing.
Like I said, I turned a lot of
corners, but I cut a lot of
threads.
1-oing anything the first time
is slow and difficult. One ma-
chine I was working on only
had two gears, dead stop and
full race. You would push down
on the treadle, nothing. A lit-
tle more, nothing. A little more,
varooooooooommmmmmmm. I
had sewed-Xwo feet and I want-
ed to sew two inches. They still
ovei ook me. I’m just a l -din-
ner. The question is how long
can I pass as a beginner?

Easter Seal Help
Many; April 1-14
A further request for sup-
port of the Easter Seal Society
for / Crippled Children and
Adults and its program or ser-
vices to the handicapped was
issued by J. A. Barnett ,who is
Easter Seal Representative in
Johnson County.
The Easter Seal .Society pro-
vided treatment and services
for 20,570 physically handicap-
ped children and adults in Tex-
as last year, Barnett said, and
this program needs to be ex-
panded. Many people are going
without services that would in-
crease the productiveness of
their lives and make them hap-
pier. With the increased growth
of the Easter' Seal Society,
more and more of these people
will be reached, he added.
The Society is carrying out
a continuing program to seek
out the disabled who are doing
without services and feee that
they receive the help they need.
As'Easter Seal Representative,
Barnett is the person to con-
tact for sendees frori^ the Eas-
ter .Seal Society.
The Easter Sdal ^Society of
Texas helps support 18 treat-
ment facilities in Texas where
crippled children and adults
who are not eligibly for help
from any other source’ are
treated, regardless of their abil-
ity to pay. Physical^ occupa-
tional and speech therapy are
offered to help the handicap-
ped overcome their disabilities.
A complete referral program to
ensure equal rehabilitation .ser-
vices to every person in Texas
is included in Easter Seal So-
ciety services. '
The East6r Seal Appeal con-
tinues through Easter Sunday,
April 14, and full support
should be given the Easter Seal
Society by ever citizen, he
added.

get the idee they can raise their

act quick, these home gardens
will have the hole food ]-------
ing arid marketing industry in
a uproar.
I figger the first step will be
a press conference where some-
» body in a high place in Guv-
ernment will swear that the
Administration is going to avoid
licensing farmers. But while the
problem is being attacked from
other angles, such as rationing
garden seed and fertilizer and
setting up no-weekend plowing
regulations, a supply of farm-
ing licenses is being printed up
jest in case. Pervided that peo-
ple with gardens will vojun-
teery foller suggestions agin
canning and freezing what they
grow, the .market probable can
catch up in the fall and winter
what it loses in the growing
seasons. To help folks do this
of their own will, the USDA
will have to put on 3,000 new
inspectors to control the sale
of jarsj and freezer bags, and to
make shore nobody has more i
