News Notes
By Jim Browne
The new Wonder Shop op
erated by Mr. and Mrs. Bob
Clarke and daughters Barbara
and Cheryl opened its doors to
the public last Saturday. The

a.m. until closing at 6 p.m.
They are handling a very nice
assortment of children's cloth
ing from infant through the
teen agers. Gift items include
towel sets, jewelry, blankets
and baby gift items.
The shirts will interest the
men at the Wonder Shop, also
work and dress socks. On open
ing day all the ladies received
a pair of nylons and if the
roads kept you from visiting
the new shop last Saturday be
sure you visit them in the near
future.

The Wasilla Warriors journ
eyed to Copper Valley last
week to engage the Copper
Valley Bucks in two nights of
basketball. The varsity and re
serves played fine games. The
reserves faired better than the
varsity, winning both nights
by scors of 46 to 45 and 45 to
28 on Saturday evening. Scores
for both nights were Cronin
15, Harbeson 39. Pieren 16.
Hill 6. Sellens 9, Patterson 2
and Adcock 2.
Friday night the varsity lost
by a score of 36 to 32. The
Warriors were unable to find
the basket while the Bucks
hit a very good percentage.
Warrior scorers were Gilbert
son 5, Leone 12, Hjellen 2,
Carl 7, Patterson 2 and Bryant
4.
Saturday night the Warriors
were on the war path and
scalped the Bucks by a score
of 54 to 37. Points for that
night were Leone 12, Hjellen
11. Carl 12. Gilbertson 9 and
Bryant 8. Patterson 2.
The Warriors next home
game will be with Valdez on
February 8 and 9. The Glenn
allen game scheduled for Jan
uary 31 and February 1 has
been cancelled so the Wasilla
boys will be looking for a
game for that weekend.
Friday evening, J^n. 25 the
graduating seniors will play
the next year’s team and a
good game is assured. The high
school girls will also play a
preliminary game with the
i Wasilla women.
I have never seen a rat to
know it was a rat in the Wa
silla area but seems there is at
ieast one in town. Last week a
small family pet found some
rat poison and since there is
nothing that can be done the
pet of eight years is dead. This
poison was within easy reach
of a small cocker spaniel and
is no doubt available to small
children in the area. The fam
ily is deeply hurt over the
needless loss of their faithfu
pet and they are grateful it is
over a pet they grieve and no'
a small child. There surely i:
a more humane way of dispos
ing of dogs than rat poison.

“> QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
QUESTION: I am going to
retire from my job in Febru
ary. Is there anything I should
bring into the Social Security
office when I come in to make
my application for old-age
benefits?
ANSWER: Yes, indeed there
is. To speed up your claim it
would help if you would bring
with you some proof of your
age. It would also help a great
deal if you would bring your
statement of earnings (W-2
Form) from your employer for
1962, If you are self-employed
bring along a copy of your
1962 income tax return. Also,
be sure to bring your social se
curity card.
QUESTION: In 1959, my
buddy started a small business
making Alaskan post cards. He
does pretty well at it. I told
him that I thought he had to
pay social security tax on his
earnings from his business, but
how does he go about it?
ANSWER: As a self-employ
ed business man, your friend
files a schedule of profit and
loss from business or profes
sion, commonly called schedule
C, with his regular income tax
return. Copies of this schedule
C can be obtained from any in
ternal revenue district office.
On the schedule C, he shows
his total income from the busi
ness. his business expenses, and
his net income. If his net in
come is $400 or more, he pays
the social security tax with his
l income tax payment.
