Paul, who is consultant for the that the Order of worship “is by
terian and First Christian.
COCU is distributing to W,-
000 pastors a 95-page pamph
let outlining an order of wor-
ip that may be used by local
churches without waiting for
the formal merger to take
place.
If the nine denominations en-
courage Its use, as they prob
ably will, the new common lit-
urgy could help overcome the
laity’s apprehension about get-
ting involved with “people who
do things differently from us.”
The pamphlet is the product
two years labor by a wor-
ship commission composed of
liturgical expert of COCU’s
member denominations. The
commission was headed by the
Rev. Dr. Massey H. Shepherd
professor of liturgies at the
Church Divinity School of the
Pacific, one of the world’s lead-
ing authorities on ancient and
modern developments In Chris-
tian worship.
D r. Shepherd emphasized
Of t h e be more accurately described
as timeless rather than mod
era.” Dr. Shepherd and his as-
sociates have transcended de-
nominational differences by
going back to the ancient litur-
gical treasures which are the
common heritage of the uni-
versal church. Much of the ser-
vice is drawn directly from the
Bible.
It restores the custom of
worshippers greeting each oth-
er, at a high point of the ser-
vice, by an exchange of the
old biblical salutation: “May
the peace of the Lord be al-
ways with you,” which has
been used by Jews for thou-
sands of years, and which was
the first greeting of the risen
Christ to His assembled dis-
ciples.
The service book is flexible,
providing alternative forms for
such key feature as the open-
ing words, the act of praise,
tjbe confession, the assurance
of God’s pardon and the dis-
missal. It is so arranged that
on any given Sunday, the ser-
vice may conclude with the
sermon, or go on to include a
celebration of the Lord’s Sup-

meetings wfll be held through-
out the state during February.
Objectives of the conference
to inform interested persons
about the new directions spe-
cial education may take, and to
get their reaction and sugges-
tions.
Weston will base his discus-
sion on two documents. First
he will summarize the “Special
Education in Texas” report
completed recently by Manage-
ment Services Associates, Inc.,
of Austin. This report is now
being studied by the State
Board of Education. Next,
Weston will detail the spe-
cial education recommendations
which have been submitted to
the Texas Legislature by the
Affipnrv
“We will definitely
know what the people think
about the report and the rec-
ommendations,” t h e Agency
executive points out. “For this
reason, we trill be most fhter-
e?ted in both the suggestions
and questions from the floor.
In other words, we want the
people to know what is going
on and we want to know what
thgy think about it.”
Parents, school superinten-
dents and principals, special
education teachers, physicians,
psychologists, and other inter-
ested perrons are invited and
urged to attend the session ac-
cording to Mrs. Dana Hayes,
Region V Education Service
Center Special Education Co-
ordinator.

“It is solely a means of as-
sisting us toward the, common
goal of understanding and re-
conciliation,” he said.
The new service employs
clear, contemporary English
words instead of archaic lan-
guage such as “thee” and
“thou.” But its content would

Q. If I file my 198* return by we file a joint return, whose
the end of January can I forget label should we put on the
about the fourth installment of
my estimated tlx?
A. Yes, if you file your 1988
return by Jan. 31 paying any
balance due at that time. But
don't forget- that 1989 declara-
tions must be filed by April
15.
Q. Last year 1 sold some
stock 1 had received from my
father’s estate. Do I have to
pay tax on this money?
A. You will only have to in-
clude in income any increase
between the value of the stock
at the time your father died
and what you sold it for.
The amount of the increase
will have to be reported as a
capital gain on Schedule D.
However, if the stock decreased
in value the loss may be used
to reduce any other capital
gains you might have to report
for 1968. If you have no capital
gains, you may deduct your
loss not in excess of $1,000 per
return. For details see the in-
structions on Schedule D.
Q. I got married last year
and my wife and I both re-
form, mine or hers?
A. Oh Joint returns the ac-
count Is primarily identified
by the husband’s social security
number. Therefore, file the re-
turn with your label adding
your wife’s name to it but be
sure also to enter your wife’s
social security number on the
return in the space provided
for it.
Q. Are farmers subject to the
new surcharge?
A. Yes, they, like all Income
taxpayers, are subject to the
tax surcharge.
Q. I can’t find the W-2 form
I got from my summer job.
What should I do?
A. Contact your former em-
ployer and ask him for a dup-
licate copy of your W-2 state-
ment.
Q. Were there any changes
in the tax law last year I
should know about when I file
my 1988 return?
■A. Adoption of a surtax in
1968 was the major change.
This surtax will increase the
amount of income tax most in-
ceived 1040 tax packages. Individuals will pay for 1968 by
percent. A line has been
added to the tax form to help
taxpfcyfetB make this calcula-
tion and it Is explained In the
instrilctidhs that cdnfe with the
tax forms. '
Q. t)o 1 have io include So-
cial Security benefits when I
add up my Income for the
year?
A. Social Security benefits
are not taxable. However, they
do have to be included when
determining if the support test
has been met for a dependent.
For example, if a widow
Q. I sold my house just
before my 65th birthday. Does
that mean I won’t be entitled
to the special benefits for the
elderly on those sales?
A. The law requires you to
be 65 or over before the date
of sale or exchange to qualify
for these special benefits.
Q. Does it make any differ-
ence whether I file the red,
white and blue tax form 1 got
in the mail or one of the plain
ones the Post Office has?
A. Either form is acceptable,
but the colored form is prefer-
able. However, if you do not
file the return mailed you,
please be sure to removfe the
name label and put it on the
return you do file. Use of the
address label will properly
identify your return and speed
uny refund due.
The use of color on some of
the 1968 tux returns is an ex-
periment to determine whether
the use of color to highlight
certain sections of the form
will reduce errors.
