Other deductions And, while on the subject of employment, there are a number of other job-related deductions that may be getting past you. For instance, if your occupation requires special apparel or equipment not adaptable to general use, the cost and maintenance is deductible.

So, if you're a nurse you can deduct not only the cost of your uniforms, but the cost of maintaining the uniforms as well. A nurse's uniform is required by the occupation and is not adaptable to general use; you wouldn't wear it to a social gathering. Similarly, the cost of protective clothing, like safety shoes, helmets, and work gloves required by your occupation are deductible. And here" are a few more com- monly overlooked deductions dealing with occupations: Union dues and expenses to obtain and keep union membership. Trade or professional magazines.

Dues paid to a qualified professional organization. Occupational taxes imposed at a flat rate by a locality. Malpractice insurance premiums paid by a physician who is an employe. Laboratory breakage fees. The cost of a periodic physical examination required by your em-.

ployer or as a prerequisite to And, here are two more overlooked deductions which affect many of us. The rent you pay for a safe deposit box is deductible if the box is used for storage of taxable income producing items, like stocks, bonds, and investment related papers. But the cost is not deductible if the box is used solely for personal items or tax exempt securities. Car sales were brisk last year and that means that many of you shouldn't forget to deduct that big chunk of tax paid on your new car or used car. Even if you use the tables to determine your sales tax deduction, you're allowed to add to that figure the tax you paid on a new or used car or truck, boat, airplane, mobile or prefabricated home, or materials you bought to build a home if the tax rate is the same as the general sales tax rate and the tax is stated separately.

This year when you sit down to compute your taxes take a few extra minutes to look over the tax instructions one last time to make sure you haven't missed anything. You may be surprised to find a few things that you never thought to deduct One thing can lead to another and before you know it you may have a very respectable list of miscellaneous deductions to add to the year in and year out big decisions. Your tax instructions have all the deductions listed and the individual taxpayer should read everything carefully and apply the tax laws to good advantage. Most people are fairly familiar with the bigger itemized deductions that help take the bite out of their tax bill medical expenses, state, and local taxes, interest, charitable contributions, and casualty losses. But did you know that you also can deduct such things as employment agency fees, the costs of small tools and supplies needed for your' job, and safe deposit boxes, to name a few? This material was supplied to The Palladium-Item by the Internal Revenue Service.

There are some limitations, of course, but that shouldn't stop you from checking to see if you've been passing up some worthwhile deductions year after year. A lot of seemingly insignificant deductions can add up to a larger refund check or less of a tax bill for those of you who owe additional money. Take employment agency fees. If you are looking for a job in the same trade or business you can deduct any fees you pay to an employment agency. Also, if you travel somewhere primarily to seek new employment in your present trade or business, the travel expenses are deductible.

If you're a salesman and travel to Boston to interview for a position there, save all your receipts from the trip and deduct them at tax- time. Keep in mind, however, that if you are hired and later reimbursed for any employment agency fees or trav JU external degree plan standards discussed A committee at Bloomington is in charge of the program, and each regional campus has a committee to determine how much credit can be awarded for life experiences. Thirty hours is the maximum allowed. University officials are trying to set specific guidelines for courses such as those offered at vocational schools or special occupational training schools such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation Academy. Flexible program The program to succeed must remain flexible, and the 66 hours of electives required for a bachelor degree allows flexibility, Burnett said.

IU East has not granted life experience credit to any students yet, but students are in the process of preparing materials for review. IU officials expect apr-oximately eight students to graduate in May, They will be the first IU graduates on the program. Three students are to graduate at IU East before September. Dr. Bowman said that before Christmas there were 252 persons enrolled in the program and several more have enrolled since then.

Persons taking advantage of the degree are usually ones who want to better their potential for job advancement, Bowman said. More than 300 colleges and universities in the United States are offering some kind of external degree, Bowman added. The average age of persons enrolled in the external degree program at IU is 36.8 and at IU East officials said the average is 36.7. By Peggy Barnes Three representatives of the Indiana University external degree program at Bloomington conferred with IU East faculty and administrators here Monday on ways to systematize program standards and to answer questions. Dr.

Sylvia Bowman, special assistant to the president for the external degree program; David Burnett, director of program curriculum, and Kitty Hirs, public relations director for the external degree program, discussed the plan which enables students to earn a bachelor and associate of general studies degrees through the department of continuing education at IU. Incorporated in the program are provisions to give students credit for special courses they have taken and life experiences other than accredited college courses. The program was started in November 1975 and according to Burnett, "there is a great deal of uncertainty on how to proceed." McDaniel answers charge of lying Our Bare Shelves Are Showing.

the Senate a letter he hau received from the governor. The letter was a response from the governor to an earlier inquiry by McDaniel regarding alleged lobbying abuses by Robert Skinner, aide to the governor. The letter said in part: "I am sorry if there has been embarrassment to you by any of his (Skinner's) activities. His alleged activities were not authorized by me Lack of good communication creates problems, and I have urged him to be as available as possible for help to every senator Please be 'assured that I want to work with you and the legislature to develop legislation that is in the best interests of all Hoosiers." Sen. O'Day was accused by Sen.

McDaniel of helping defeat McDaniel's lobbyist registration bill, and then having dinner with a lobbyist opposed to the bill. O'Day said he had voted for McDaniel's bill, and said "McDaniel deliberately lied when he charged me with being one of the persons who sabotaged the bill." State Sen. Martin McDaniel, R-Richmond, Monday responded in a Senate speech to Sen. Joseph O'Day, D-Evansville, who said last week McDaniel had lied. He said: "Senator O'Day, you are dead wrong.

I am not a liar. I call them like I see them. Last week you and three of your Senate colleagues were dined at a victory party by utility lobbyist, Richard Stein, at the fanciest restaurant in town. As you know, Stein that day had been successful in having the weak and ineffective lobbyist bill he drafted passed from committee. He had, likewise, been successful that day in having our six-month study committee bill, SB-181, killed by the committee.

"I expected him to celebrate with his friends in the Assembly, but not in public and not at LaTour (the restaurant). "1 have no apologies to you or the other legislators wined and dined by lobbyist Stein. In committee or on the floor, I shall speak my own mind. I will not be intimidated. I will not abide by a gag rule." McDaniel also read to Centerville Lions hear Dean Schilt -Twenty-seven members and guests attended the regular meeting of the Centerville Lions Club at Holly Hill Restaurant Monday night.

Keith Clark, program chairman, introduced Dr. Alexander Schilt, dean of the Indiana University East Campus, spoke on "The Free Enterprise System." He was presented with a certificate of appreciation from the club. Raymond Fessler, a club member, told of his recent visit to South America and of his visits with Lions Club members there. Shawn Spencer of Centerville was a guest, and a new member, Marvin Wiss-ler, was introduced. Jim Resh announced that the State Lions Club Convention will be April 29-May 1 at Fort Wayne.

Members wishing to attend should contact Resh. The next meeting of the club will be at 6:45 p.m. Monday, March 14, with Dr. Lewis Lumpkin serving as program chairman.

Fifteen persons from the Richmond area enlisted in the active Army during January, making the Richmond recruiting station the most successful in the Cincinnati district.

The station was honored recently at district headquarters. Sgt. 1C Al McNew, commander of the Richmond station, received an award from Col. Leo Cornish, commander of Midwestern Regional Recruiting Command, Ft. Sheridan, Illinois.

The four recruiters assigned to Richmond accomplished 166 per cent of the station's assigned objective for the month, McNew said, aiding in the Cincinnati district's capture of position of number one district in the 12-state midwestern region.
