Child May Be Claimed
For Tax Exemption
Regardless Of Income
Do you have a son or daughter
working during the summer vaca-
tion, who is likely to earn more
than $600 before school starts
again ?
If so, he or she doesn't have to
quit work before earning that
amount for you to retain your
child's exemption deduction. The
same holds true if you have a
non-student working child' who will
still be under 19 by the end of the
tax year.
In either case, regardless of how
much the child earns, the parent
may claim an exemption, provid-
ing he has furnished over half the
total aost of his child's support for
the year. This rule also applies in
the case of legally adopted chil-
dren.
There is one important thing to
keep in mind: A dependent child
is also; entitled to an exemption
deduction for himself on his own
separate return. On the other hand,
if he is married, and files a joint
l'eturn with his wife, 110 depend-
ency exemption may be claimed by
the parent.
C. C. Eppright, Internal Revenue
S e r v i,c e administrative officer,
clarified revenue laws which have
confused many parents in Palacios.
"We have reports of both par-
ents and employers telling work-
ing children they'll have to quit
their jobs before they earn $600.
They can work right up to the re-
opening of school if they want to,"
C. C. Eppright said. "The children,
however, may have to pay a small
tax. Since many of them are study-
ing our own courses in basic taxa-
tion they already know this.

Picked In County,
Reveals J. J. Boley
According to J. J. Boley, man-
ager of the Texas Employment
Commission, 9,529 bales have been
produced so far this year in Mata-
gorda County.
"The cotton business is doing
pretty good if we can just keep
this dry weather," Mr. Boley said

more coton pickei-s," he added.
Most Matagorda County farmers
are getting about a bale to the
acre. Cotton is selling from 30 to
34 cents depending on the grade.
Girls who look like a million are
looking for it, too.
