Beaumont told The News today.that the company will invest more than $1,600,000 for improvements to power supply facilities within the division and that an additional $100,000 will be spent to improve electric distribution facilities benefiting customers in a wide area. Major sub-station projects will be completed in Baldwin, Rothbury, Pentwater, Shelby, North Ludington, Fremont, Whitehall, and White Cloud and in the Bass lake and Twin lake areas. Also distribution voltage at Montague and Hesperia will be improved and the power line from Scottville to Fountain will be rebuilt.

By FRANCIS J. KELLY AP Newsfeatures Writer WASHINGTON If your 1952 income was $5,000 or you must use long-form 1040 in making out your income tax return. That four-page, white paper form also is the proper blank if you: 1) Had more than $100 income from sources other than wages from which taxes were withheld, or 2) Had any income from a business or rents, royalities, annuities, or transactions in securities, or 3) Claim status as "head of a household," as defined in the tax laws.

A widow with dependents may claim such a classification for example. Practically always you will save money by making a long-form return if your non-business deductions run more than 10 percent of your income. This form may be used for incomes below $5,000 as well as above. Read Instruction Booklet The Bureau of Internal Revenue has made a considerable effort in recent years to simplify the tax return form. Each is now accompanied by a 12-page book of instructions designed to make things easier for the taxpayer.

Persons who use long-form 1040 must calculate their own tax instead of picking it out of a table. A space for the computation is provided on page 3 of the form. Before starting to fill out the blank, it is well to assemble data on your income and various deductible expenses. Only a few types of income are exempt from tax. These include social security benefits, soldiers' pay in combat zones, some veterans' benefits, gifts, inheritances, interest on state and municipal bonds, and proceeds of a life insurance policy upon death.

Allowable deductions include non-federal taxes, interest paid Rotarians Hear Conservation Talk Charles F. Welch of Roscommon, regional educational director of Michigan state conservation department, was guest speaker for Ludington Rotarians Thursday evening at Hotel Stearns. Choosing as his topic, "Education and Conservation," Mr. Welch said that many game and fish law violations could be traced to a lack of education and understanding on the part of the public regarding the necessity for strict and wise management of natural resources. Explaining thdt it is just as necessary to harvest the surplus fish and game crop of the land to prevent over population and loss of stock due to lack of food as it is to harvest farm crops at the end of the growing season, the speaker asked the public not to be hasty in forming an adverse opinion of the one-deer law.

"Many other states have used this method successfully to solve over-population of their deer herds in certain areas," Mr. Welch concluded. "The public can be sure that their conservation department will supervise closely the application of this law in the best interests of all concerned." H. L. Mottl was program chairman for the meeting.

During the business session announcement was made of the club's annual rural-urban night to be observed Feb. 26. Guests included Edward H. Andersen of Baldwin, David Reinoehl of Scottville and Dick Newberg, Junior Rotarian. Slides Are Shown to 4-H Members Hammers and Needles 4-H club of Walhalla met recently at Walhalla school with slides shown by E.

Dean Raven, 4-H Club agent, as a highlight of the evening. Mr. Raven showed interesting slides on 4-H projects and trips and also gave a talk on the importance of 4-H clubs. Members planned a Valentine party to be held at the next meeting and names were drawn for an exchange of Valentines. A dress form will be purchcased for the girls' club to be paid for by the club treasury.

Committees for the next meeting include, refreshments, Carol Portinga and Suzan Dodge; demonstrations, Russell Brant and Janice Dereske; recreation, Wayne and Tricia Johnston. After the close of the meeting- games were played and refreshments were served by Thelma Conant. Guests of the club members were Patricia Doyle and Bill Conant.

BENSON BROKER 206 Franklin Street Phone 1221 out, contributions to religious, scientific and charitable groups, losses from fire, storm, flood and theft, and some medical and dental expenses. Sjfaces are provided on page 3 of form 1040 for listing each of these categories.

Out-of-town travel expenses, and other expenses paid by your employer and included in your wages, may be deducted from gross income on page 1 of the This saves you from paying taxes on expense money. Lump Sum Deductions If your irifcome is $5,000 or more, you do not necessarily have to list your deductions in detail. You have the option of deducting 10 percent of your income instead. Married persons filing separately are allowed a $500 deduction. The top limit on lump deductions for all other taxpayers is $1,000.

In filling out your return you will need to know how much you have already paid on your 1952 by withholding, or paid with tax estimates during the year. Your employer is required to furnish you a form W-2 stating your total wages for the year and amount of tax withheld. The original W-2 form must be attached to your return. Generally, married couples find it advantageous to file joint rather than separate returns. This is because the current law permits income splitting, which in turn means a lower tax.

However, in a few cases, where husband and wife both have income, separate returns may be preferable. Joint returns must be signed by both the husband and wife. It is important to keep an exact copy of your return to amend it in any way. Also, keep a copy of the W-2 form furnished by your employer. said he expects to vote for Wilson "unless something else crops up." Sen.

Ferguson (R-Mich) said he saw "no shadow of doubt" that Wilson will be confirmed. HP said Wilson had previously told the committee 'he owns other stock, including some in at least one oil company, but he added: "As I understand it these companies do no business with the government. ALLEGAN 15-year old Allegan high school student was held today in the shotgun shooting of his stepfather last night in a quarrel over a wooden gun. The stepfather, Richard Locke, 30, was in critical condition today at the Allegan Health Center. Sheriff L.A.

Johnson said Locke was shot in the stomach by his stepson. Burton Ovcrholl Locke, with a single barreled shotgun fired from a distance of seven feet. The boy's mother, Evelyn, 32, said her husband struck her with the wooden gun as the three quarreled in the kitchen of their home. "I was knocked to the floor and Burton came to my assistance," Mrs. Locke said," I heard my husband say 'don't touch her, let her Mrs Locke said her husband then kicked her and she heard 'something' go bang like a firecracker.

The mother said Burton had brought his stepfather's shotgun from another room. Mrs. Locke said she called the sheriff and an ambulance at the home of a neighbor after the shooting. She quoted her husband as saying: "Honey, I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Mrs. Locke said there had been no previous trouble in the family which includes two other children, Karen, 5, and Daniel, 2.

She said Burton "idolized his stepfather."

Eisenhower's formal nomination of Wilson, announced at 7:25 last night, at least brought to a head the controversy which has confronted the new Republican administration with its first crisis. The brief announcement by White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty said: "The president has sent to the Senate the nomination of Charles E. Wilson as secretary of defense. Mr.

Wilson visited the President this evening and volunteered his intention to dispose of all his stock in General Motors." There was some indirect indication that the President had a hand in Wilson's decision. A Republican senator who declined to be quoted by name said the former GM president had, right up to the White House conference, maintained his refusal to sell the stock. Wilson is said to have told the Senate committee, at a hearing held before his formal nomination, that his GM stock is worth about million dollars and that he would lose as much as $600,000 in taxes by selling it now. The announcement that Wilson would sell the stock he now holds brought words of praise from a number of senators. "I think Wilson is a man of integrity and his decision is right," Byrd said.

Sen. Capehart (R-Ind) said he now has no doubts that Wilson will be confirmed, and he added: "His action stamps him as a great American making a great sacrifice in order to serve his country." Sen. Hunt (D-Wyo) voiced confidence Wilson would make a bona fide sale, not just a transfer to his wife or another relative, and Shoots Grandfather to Climax Quarrel Mrs. Elmer Harley Hostess to Group OXBOW LAKE Mrs. Klmcr Harley was hostess to several 'riends, Friday afternoon.

Two weeks ago most observers agreed there would be no disturbance at least until spring. Since he took over last summer, Bannan said, there has been only one instance in which prisoners were struck by officers. This, he said, was the already publicized occasion on Nov.

30. Three inmates were injured by guards wielding night sticks for self protection in 15 block, the disciplinary barracks, when they resisted attempts of officers to subdue a disturbance which had gone on for nearly three days. Dr. Finch and the warden were both absent from the prison when the incident occurred, Bannan said. "He got his information from the inmates, and I got mine from both inmates and officers," Bannan said.

"I believe my information is more reliable." Bannan emphasized that "it is absolutely false that prisoners have been beaten or otherwise mistreated by the custodial force." He added that members of Alcoholics Anonymous and of religious groups as well as the Jewish, Protestant and Roman Catholic chaplains have had free access to the prison. "These people would not stand by and condone brutality," he said. Bannan denied there was anything frong in the administration's confiscation of a petition being circulated among prisoners to retain Dr. Finch. Prison regulations forbid petitions, he said, and "this was a routine enforcement of a routine regulation." Pistols are believed to have been invented in Pistoia, Italy, about 1540.
