Deluge Of Calls
On Reporter Ads
'Take my ads out of the
paper I’ve sold out of busi-
ness” said Wade DeLozier as
he reviewed results of his
first week’s advertising to
sell his rural home and chic-
kens Immediately following pub-
lication of the advertisements '
the calls started coming One
man wanted three hens ano-
ther wanted 25 and so on "I
sold just what they wanted —
a few or a lot” DeLozier said
Several people called and
went out to look at the De-
Lozier home On coupla de-
cided it was just what they
wanted so their deal is pend-
ing "On second thought just
let those ads run the second
week I still have a few
chickens left and the deal on
the place might not go throu-
gh So just run them like I
said at first” DeLozier said

Good Tax Records
Needed To List
Deductions
The choice between itemiz-
ing deductions and taking the
Standard Deduction on Fe-
deral income tax returns
sometimes depends on how
good a taxpayer’s records are
Clyde L Bickerstaff District
Director of Internal Revenue
for Oklahoma said today
Unless deductions can be
backed up by supporting doc-
uments and records a tax-
payer may want to take one
of the Standard Deductions
In that case no records of
contributions taxes and in-
terest paid or medical ex-
penses need be kept Mr Bic-
kerstaff said
Itemizing deductions will
usually result inlow taxes for
those who own a home and
property taxes and interest
on a mortgage tr pay Mr
Bickerstaff said it might also
pay to itemize deductions for
those who made large chari-
table contributions experienc-
ed heavy medical expenses or
who suffered from storms
fire or theft
Where married persons file
separate returns both hus-
band and wife must either
itemize deductions or claim
the same type standard de-
duction One spouse can’t
itemize while the other takes
the standard deduction
The appropriate Tax Table
shown in the instructions is
used to determine the tax on
incomes under $5000 when
either the 10 or minimum-
standard deduction is claim-
ed IRS Publication 528 "In-
formation on Filing Your Tax
Return” furnishes more de-
tailed information on this

Dragons 9-7 In
Season Opener Here
Chelsea’s Green Dragon
baseball crew opened the
season on a sour note Tues-
day as they were beaten by
the Claremore Zebras at
Chelsea in the score of 9 to 7
Although the Dragons shook
off last year’s hitting slump
they weren’t able to hold
their early 5-0 lead Four
costly errors in the fifth in-
ning spelled doom for the
Dragons as the Zebras push-
ed across six runs in the
frame
The Dragons opened up
with two runs in the first
inning on Johnny Ricks’
double and Mike Kouri’s
single Chelsea scored three
in the second inning on Gary
Stinnett’s triple Claremore
tallied three runs in their
half of the third but Chel-
sea came back with a run of
their own in the fifth on
Stinnett’s triple and Kouri’s
single Then came the Clare-
more barrage
Starting pitcher Gary
Stinnett gave up only one
hit in the inning but the
errors proved to be devastat-
ing Jack Golden relieved
Stinnett in the fifth and Don
Hendricks came on in the
seventh
Kouri led the Chelsea hit-
ting attack with three hits in
four times at bat and three
runs batted in
Stinnett was two for three
with two triples and one
run batted in
The Dragons scored their
seven runs on six hits and
- they committed jfive errors
The Zebra’s nine runs came
on seven hits and they made
only one miscue
Mike Purkey who went
the distance for Claremore
was the winning pitcher
while Stinnett took the loss
