Checklist Offered
To Help Deled
School Dropouts
Washington — The U.S. De-
partment of Labor’s Manpower
Administration has compiled a
checklist of 20 characteristics
typical of students who are
likely to drop out of high scho-
ol. M H H ■ ■
The list, which has been giv-
en to public employment ser-
vices and school counselors,
will be used to determine whe-
ther youngsters are eligible for
the Neighborhood Youth Corps
in-school program.^^^M
This program helps disad-
vantaged young gkeople complete
high school and get the train-
ing they need to become self-
supporting. It provides jobs for
poverty - level youth inclined
to drop out of school, thus
making possible or encouraging
continued school enrollment.
The new checklist is design-
ed to help standardize selection
procedures for In-School pro-
grams across the nation. It in-
cludes these characteristics:
Frequent absenteeism;
Poor grades and repeated
subject failure.
Financial problems;
Frequent transfers from one
school to another;
Immediate desire to work
and earn money;
Health problems or physical
disfiguration;
Over average high school
age;
Marriage or pregnancy;
A record of repeated con-
frontations with police author-
ities;
Overcrowded living quarters;
Record of family members
dropping out of school;
Social difficulties with his
associates.
Having associates with drop
out records;
Unstable household;
Alcoholism or drug addiction
in family;
Lack of parents’ support or
guidance;
Lack of interest and nonpar-
ticipation of parents in school
activities;
Attitudinal or adjustment
problems:
Lack of motivation;
Unwillingness to have learn-
ing ability tested.
The Manpower Administrat-
ion emphasizes that there is no
sure way of identifying a pot
ential dropout. A guide that
accompanies the checklist says,
‘There is no definite combinat-
ion of characteristics that can
enable one to predict with cer-
tainty thalt a particular stu-
dent will drop out.”
Neither has the order of im-
portance of the characteristics
been established.
Each year, more than half a
million teenagers — 600,000 in
1969 —r drop out of school be-
fore high school graduation.
Many of these youngsters are
then unable to find jobs.

IRS Questions
And Answers
DEADLINE
BEE WANT ADS
NOON WEDNESDAY
Q — I occasionally entertain
customers by taking them on
a fishing trip. Can I deduct
anything for the cost of oper-
ating my boat?
■ A — If the boat was used
more than 50 % for business, a
porti&n of your costs of operat-
ing the boat, such as deprecia-
tion, repairs and general oper-
ating expenses, may be taken
as a business expense. Records
showing the date of usage, date
of each business use, number of
persons entertained and simi-
lar information must be kept
to establish that the boat was
used more than 50 % for busin-
ess use.
Q — What records do I need
to suport a deduction for theft
loss?
A — Your records should
show the date the theft was
discovered the cost basis and
fair market value of the stolen
property, the amount of the
insurance or any compensation
received or recoverable, and
proof of your ownership. You
must also be able to establish
that the property was actually
stolen and not lost or mislaid.
The amount of each theft
loss of nonbusiness property is
deductible to the extent it ex-
ceeds $100. The loss must be
reduced by insurance or other
compensation received
Q — Can you lose your tax
deduction for a business trip
overseas if you take a vacation
at the same time?
A — It is possible for your
deduction to be less on a com-
bined business and pleasure
trip overseas.
Under certain circumstances,
the cost of travel, including
meals and lodging, to the place
of the business meeting and
back to the taxpayer’s home
will not be allowed in full as a
business deduction because
those expenditures would be
allocated between the business
and vacation portions of the
trip.
Rules for handling business
deductions in these circumstan-
ces are explained in Publicat-
ion No. 463, “Travel Entertain-
ment and Gift Expenses,”
available free at all IRS offi-
ces.
Q. Is it true that stock mar-
ket losses are only partially
deductible under the new tax
law?
A. The new law does make
changes in the handling of
long-terni capital losses. These
losses can stiW be used to off
set capital gains, but when
lbng-term capital losses are
greater thah capital gains, each
$1 of the less can be used to
offset only 50c of ordinary in
come.

10. That plan was brushed
[aside by Barrington, who want-
to “thrash out” legal points
ith the federal District Jud-
ge who will hear the suit.
After the meeting adjourned,
Lack handed out copies of a
_ ress release and copies of a
"statement he read when the re-
solution was passed. Lack’s
statement said, “Past Commis-
ioner Courts have failed to re-
district although it should have
been done after the 1920, the
1930, the 1940, the 1950, and
the 1960 census. Some, who had
set (sic) idly by when the pre-
vious commissioners failed to
act, demanded that we re-dis-
trict this year without the ben-
efit of the 1970 census enum-
eration data. Those same peo-
ple who were satisfied without
adequate equal representation
when their political friends
controlled this court, became
radical when the people of
Hardin County in the last few
years began to gain control of
the County offices."
The press release included
the following description of the
precinct boundaries (see Map,
complete resolution elsewhere
in this issue of the BEE):
The new Commissioner Dis-
tricts as aproved Monday are

Santa Fe Railroad on the west,
and a part of the eastern side
of Kountze and a strip of land
extending from Caney Head to
Hwy. 69.
Precinct 3 with Hugh Means
Commissioner contains the
remainder of old Precinct 2 in
the Kountze area (Wildwood,
