MUNCIE. STAR, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1948 Farm Victims of Tornado Get Tax Advice About 50 farmers who suffered property losses in a tornado which ripped through parts of Madison, Delaware, Jay and Randolph counties early last spring yesterday were given official government advice about how to handle these deductible items from their 1948 income taxes. Meeting at the Y. M. C.

A. at 10:30 o'clock yesterday morning, the group heard John Judkins, Winchester, Internal Revenue Department collector, explain generally how property losses can be deducted from gross income in figuring taxes due. Since farmers have only until January 15 to file either a final estimate of 1948 earnings or a final for the year, yesterday's was doubly importmetering ant to those men whose properties were battered by the heavy winds. In Delaware County alone, losses ranged to about quarter of a million dollars in the storm, which struck south of Gaston and foared eastward. "There is no hard and set which can be followed in reporting your losses when you figure your income taxes," Judkins told the farmers.

He said that each case "will have to be decided individually" and spent part of his time discussing personal problems of farmers attending the meeting. He advised all of them to their local internal revenue office when filing returns. In figuring actual losses, farmers were told, former depreciation, return from insurance and other factors will have to 1 be taken into consideration. Of the $250,000 property loss in Delaware County, only an estimated one-third was covered by insurance. The meeting at the Y.

M. C. A. was arranged by county Farm Bureaus and county agricultural agents. Ernest Freeman, president of the Delaware County Farm Bureau, was in charge of the session and introduced Judkins.

A total of 36 Delaware County farmers were invited to attend, along with 14 from Madison County, six from Jay County and four from Randolph County.

While this last group of 1948 inductees was being processed through the local army station, Indianapolis Selective Service headquarters issued a reminder that draft registrants are required by law to keep local boards informed when they change their addresses after they 26 years of age, as well as before. Lt.

Col. F. Lyle Summers, state selective service director, said there is a "general misunderstanding" as to responsibility of registrants who are beyond the liability for service.

The state draft head said that the selective service law is specific on this point.
