If no agreement is
reached with the
supervisor, taxpayers
have 30 days to appeal
Because the conference
is informal, the taxpayer
may represent himself or
herself, or be represented
by an attorney, certified
public accountant or an
individual enrolled to
practice before IRS.
Additionally, witnesses
can be present at the
conference to support the
taxpayer’s position
If there is still no
agreement after the
appeals conference, and
provided the amount of
tax in question is not
more than $5,000 in any
tax year, the case can
then go to an informal
hearing under the small
case procedures of the
U S. Tax Court
Under this procedure,
however, neither the
taxpayers nor the
the court’s decision.
If the amount is more
than $5,000, the case will
be heard under the
regular procedures of the
tax court.
Also, taxpayers can
elect to bypass the tax
court by paying the tax
and filing a claim for
refund.
If the claim is rejected,
the taxpayer may file a
refund suit in the U S.
District Court or the U S.
Court of Claims. Appeals
can reach the Supreme
Court, if it agrees to hear
the case.

Dogs and cats are born with an acute sense of hear-
ing that is actually twice as good as man’s. But ears
are a source of frequent troubles for these pets and it
is important to take special care while grooming your
motorist .* T “tool ki t“ P***0 kecPil* ** c,ean P°**il>lc-
electrical fuses a Dog and cat ears are sensitive; in fact, many pets
resist having their ears touched at all. Normally,
however, if you speak in a calm reassuring voice,
your pet will accept ear cleaning as part of its normal
grooming routine.
Never poke or probe at your pet’s ears, and never
wash the ears out with soap and water. Instead, apply
a small amount of baby oil or peroxide on cotton and
wipe only as far as you can without stretching the
tissue. Long-haired and floppy-eared dogs will need
attention more frequently, because there is little air
circulating in their ears.
If the surface of your pet’s ears appears dry, you
might wipe it gently with a mild ointment to lubricate
slightly. If the surface seems too moist, a dusting with
boric acid powder might be helpful. But you should go
no further. If either condition persists, further treat-
ment is a matter for your veterinarian.
If you suspect that your pet has any kind of ear trou-
ble, the best thing to do is leave the ear alone and call
your veterinarian. Many over-anxious owners probe
too far into their pet’s ears and may permanently
damage the ear canal.
Some of the more obvtoas symptoms that indicate
infection: black caking around the canal just inside
the ear; frequent shaking at the head and pawing at
the ear; holding the head at a strange angle so that
you think your pet has lots its wits; a strong odor com-
ing from the ear; or heavy waxy material and matted
hair on the inside of the ear. Do not use medication or
insecticides that might be around the house.
Sometimes ear ailments are caused by nothing
more than an insect bite, a minor ulceration or a
small pimple. But even these minor inflammations
can upset your dog or cat.
Hematomas, swellings that contain blood,
sometimes occur in the middle of the skin of the ear
flap. They may result from a sharp blow which rup-
tures the blood vessels in the ear or by your pet’s
scratching and shaking his ear as a result of ear in-
flammation or infection.
Occasionally, dogs suffer from otitis media, an in-
flammation of the middle ear. This condition comes
from an infection of the external ear passage or the
nasal passage by way of the eustachian tube — the
tube connecting the middle ear with the upper part of
the throat. Common symptoms are pain, fever, ear
discharge and possible loss of balance.
Often chronic ear irritations are caused by mites
that settle in the ear. Symptoms of this infection are_
the same as for other ear infections. Prompt attention"
to mites can give your pet relief from misery.
Your pet can also be irritated by something as sim-
ple as too much wax in the ear. It is best, regardless of
all the home remedies you may see, to have your
veterinarian take a look. If there is an accumulation
of wax in the ear, you may cause serious damage by
attempting to dislodge it.
Remember that at the first sign of ear discomfort,
you should take your pet to the veterinarian. He will
know how to treat the various ear problems your dog
or cat might have. And he can demonstrate proper
ear care for your pet so you can avoid future pro-
blems.

Act now to lock in some
of the highest interest rates
in history with opportunities
for capital gains.
Free seminar! Come hear what Merrill Lynch has to say
about how today's volatile bond market creates potential
opportunities for the informed investor.
Even if you’ve never invested in
bonds before, you’ll want to at-
tend this informative event.
According to Merrill Lynch
Research, the prospect for in-
terest rates over the next six mon-
ths is a general movement
downward. And that means this
could be an ideal time to buy
bonds.
Current prices are down and ef-
fective yields are up This should
be an excellent time to lock in
these yields In addition, if in-
terest rates come down, bond
prices will move up, perhaps
quickly and substantially, and of-
fer a chance for attractive profits
in the future.
You can hear about this at a
free Merrill Lynch seminar.
There’ll be a discussion on the
outlook for the economy and the
impact this will have on interest
rates and what this implies for the
investor in various sectors of the
fixed income markets.
You’ll find out about strategies
that should help investors capture
these opportunities while avoiding
some of the pitfalls of today’s in
vestment climate.
This free seminar offers an
unusual chance for very timely
suggestions on today's market.
You’ll be able to ask questions and
receive the latest copy of the Mer
rill Lynch Fixed Income Selector,
which contains specific recom-
mendations.
Admission will be by reserva
tion only. For your reservation,
just call or mail the coupon. If you
are a Merrill Lynch customer,
please call your Account Ex
ecutive for reservations. V'hy not
take a moment to do it now, so
you’ll be sure not to miss out?
