seem to be focused more on collecting
bonuses than on business needs.
The IRS is considering a ruling to
treat the bonuses as a taxable fringe
benefit. The bonuses almost certainly
will be considered taxable if they are
sold.

Your editor calls your attention to
the minutes of the last quarterly
meeting in this issue and the letters
from our Supreme Lodge President
Howard Leshikar pertaining to the
domino tournament which he and the
minutes refer to. Please read what is
proposed and we fee! certain that
many of our “straight” and “42”
domino player members will be
interested. We will háve more details
on this in forthcoming issues.

In this issue is the annually -
published directory of the seven (7)
district and all lodge secretaries (their
names, addresses and telephone
numbers). You will, very probably,
wish to savé this issue for reference
when you may need it, however, you
will notice that Supreme Lodge
Secretary - Treasurer Leonard
Mikeska notes that not ALL lodges
háve sent in the names of their
secretary for 1985.
The Bylaw Article 95(d) Brother
Mikeska refers to reads:
In the month of May, the “Věstník”
shall publish the names and addresses
of the district and iocal lodge
secretaries.
The directory ušed to be published
in February each year, but, was
changed in one convention to wait
until all districts had their spring
meetings and lodges had their annual
meetings and elected their secretary.

Those airline frequent - flier plans so
popular with business travelers are
begínning to attract some unwanted
attention - from employers and the
Internal Reveňue Service.
Nearly every airline now has a
program offering free flights, hotels,
rental cars and even cruises to business
people who fly a minimum number of
miles with the sponsoring carrier.
In many plans, a traveler who logs
as few as 10,000 miles with the same
airline can upgrade his or her seat on
the next fíight from coach to first class
at no extra charge. A traveler who flies
150,000 miles or more can often claim
two free first - class tickets to Europe,
the Middle East or Asia.
The plans are attractive that many
travelers change their itineraries to
accommodate them. Where once they
might háve flown nonstop from, leťs
say, Chicago to Atlanta, they now také
“milk train” routes with stops in
smaller cities along the way to build up
mileage.
Brokers are buying up the bonus
coupons from pian members and
reselling them at discount. While this is
legal, airlines don’t like it, and some
háve warned coupon brokers to stop
advertising.
Travelers caught using somebody
else’s coupons can be forced to pay the
full faře. And, although it rarely
happens, pian members who seli their
coupons can be kicked out of the
program.
More and more employers -
becoming aware of the high value of
the bonuses - are claiming them as
company property. Some airlines háve
programs in which the bonuses go
directly to the employers. Many firms
also are checking for itineraries that
“speciál needs” child háve gotten a
break from the Internal Revenue
Service, The Service has ruled that
parents can také an itemized deduction
of up to $1,500 for qualified adoption
expenses for each speciál - needs child
-- one whose medical or emotional
handicap, age or ethnic background
has made it difficult for him or her to
be placed. Previously, it was unclear
whether the deduction was permitted
for each child or whether only one
deduction could be taken for all such
chiídren in a family.
***
Families planning yard sales may
wish to check their homeowneťs
insurance policies to make sure they
will be covered in čase somebody is
hurt on the property during a sále,
urges the Insurance Information
Institute. Most policies extend liability
coverage to events related to normál,
nonbusiness, residential activities -
including occasional yard sales.
Regularly scheduled, profit - making
activities, such as sales of homemade
craft items, probably are not covered.
***
Be skeptical of bargain prices offered
by Street vendors, flea markets and
other fly - by - night sales operations,
say Better Business Bureaus. If a price
is incredibly low - $50 for a $1,000
watch, for example - you can bet it is
either counterfeit or stolen. To spot
counterfeits: Check trademarks and
lc^bels to see if they match the reál
thing. Look dosely at the quality of
the packaging. A poor printing job is
often a giveaway that the item is
phony.
***
Regularly rotating the tires on cars
and light trucks can make the tires last
a lot longer, especially if the vehicles
are equipped with front - wheel drive,
accordingto tire experts at Goodyear.
Front tires on front - wheel - drive
vehicles také an extra beating because
they are ušed both for steering and
driving -- and they also must carry the
weight of the engine and transmission.
Safety experts recommend rotating the
tires at between 6,000 and 8,000 miles
and again between 18,000 and 24,000
miles of use.
***
Consumers are being asked not to
buy any kind of telephone that is not
compatible with hearing aids. Most
hearing aids contain a speciál
component to faciíitate use of the
telephone, but many telephones are
not capable of transmitting sound
through this component, warns the
nonprofit Organization for Use oř the
Telephone. For details, write OUT,
P.O. Box 175, Owings Mills, Md.
21117.

Adding a fiberglass insulation
blanket around your water heater
could cut your annual electric bili by
400 kilowatt - hours, saving you about
$40 per year, advises the Energy Dept.
If you háve a gas water heater, the
insulation blanket would savé about 36
therms, worth about $25 per year.
