Social Security
Taxes to Increase
Workers will be paying
Social Security taxes longer
next year and at a higher rate
than in 1981. The reason: The
wage base — the level at which
deductions stop — has been
increased from $29,700 in 1981
to $32,400 in 1982, and the tax
rate has gone from 6.65
percent to 6.7 percent.
ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS
If you have out-of-area
friends or relatives you are
entertaining in your home, call
The News at 885-3562 and tell
us about the occasion.
You don’t have to be a gen-
ius to discover that a lot of
people want to sell you a lot of
things, including things you
can’t use and really don’t
want.
Watch television long
enough and you’ll soon discov-
er that you can buy laundry
goop that whitens when it
brightens only in water 33%
degrees temperature to which a
dab of Oil of Olay must be
added.
You will be buying a box of
breakfast cereal that can’t be
much different from the
40-dozen other kinds of cer-
eals. (Really, can there be that
many kinds of cereals?)
Actually, if you’ve got any
resistance to advertising at all,
you have a choice of what you
buy or whether or not you buy
at all.
But what about all the stuff
you have to buy when you
want only one of that kind?
Say your wife convinces you,
finally, to fix that drippy fau-
cet. You take the old washer
from the faucet, the one you
ought to have replaced a year
ago and take it to the store to
make sure you get the right size
washer.
Well, you can’t buy just one
washer, you have to buy a box
of assorted washers. You buy
the box, pick out the size you
need and put it in the faucet
and put away the other washers
where you can never find them.
And if you can find them when
you need a washer again, they
won’t fit any of the faucets you
own. Why? Because they make
faucets that will not take the
size of washer in the box.
You decide to replace the
spark plugs in your 1979 jitney
that you bought before you
had heard that Reagan was go-
ing to get us out of this
economic mess, and you go to
the store after a set.
You’ve seen on the tube that
a certain spark plug will make
your car run like A. J. Foyt’s
racer while saving you 10 gal-
lons of gasoline per mile. You
get that kind of spark plug.
You get eight after you have
given them your car’s name,
rank and serial and motor
number. The same spark plug

District Cleric
Issues Report
For January
During the month of
January, District Clerk Lorri
Coody filed 31 new cases,
collected $2,806.49 in fees of
office and secured $581.68 in
restitution to victims in
criminal cases. The Court
disposed of 37 cases leaving
484 cases on the docket.
Comparing the activity in
this office with five years ago
for the same month, January
1977, 8 new cases were filed at
that time, $1,183.53 was
collected in fees and no monies
were recovered for restitution.
ment of Mental Health and
Mental Retardation.
Bullock’s office, however,
says the severity of those cuts
will be lessened because of
increases in tax collections here
in Texas. That increase is
attributed to rising population,
inflation and stepped up
enforcement by the comptrol-
ler.
Gov. Clements also has
made little of the projected
losses saying that $112 million
won’t be a “significant” loss
to a state budget of $13 billion.
Congressional Redistricting
A three-judge federal panel
hearing court challenges to
Texas’ congressional redistrict-
ing plan has criticized the U.S.
Justice Department for waiting
until only two days before the
state’s February 1 campaign
filing deadline to object to the
reapportionment plan.
U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of
Appeals Judge Sam Johnson
said the elective process has
been “seriously impeded” by
the position of the U.S.
attorney general.
The panel, which also
includes U.S. District Judges
William Wayne Justice of
Tyler and Robert Parker of
Beaumont, gave the state less
than a week to get the Justice
Department to reconsider its
objection to the congressional
remap plan.
If that objection is not
rescinded, the judges will
implement their own interim
plan under which the 1982
congressional races would be
conducted.

have.
You think you have the right
kind of spark plug and you
take them home to your own
shade tree garage, and start to
put them in your car. The
spark plug wrench you bought
15 yean ago won’t fit the spark-
plugs in your 1979 car.
What to do? Well, you go
back and spend $10 (does not
include tax) for a wrench that
will fit the spark plugs you'
have just bought. Then, after a
lot of contortions and blasphe-
mous words, you replace the
spark plugs.
Now you have two spark
plug wrenches, only one of
which you can use, a box of as-
sorted washers you can’t find
and no favorite television pro-
grams all of which are wrapped .
inside the commercials.
If there is a moral to this ,
tale, it might be this: do not try ■
to replace your wife. You
might wind up with two or
more.
