Dishwasher Earns $2,000 Dinged $110,000 Taxes * John Eli Kovich of Seattle, Wash. was naturally concerned when he received a letter from the Internal Revenue Service informing his his 1976 income tax was $109,929.89, The income tax bill was ~ more than 100 times larger than Kovich's earnings of $1,- 848.08 ‘as a dishwasher last year. Kovich had figured the government owed him the $213.71 it withheld from his After Kovich mailed a letter to the IRS, spokesman John Aguirre did some quick checking. “What happened was that when he filed his return, he put his entire $1,849.08 income in the’ dollar.‘column,” Aguirre said. “When we got it, some- body’ put in two zeros in the cents column, which is what we normally do if a taxpayer has rounded off the: amount, gave ‘him the standard deduction and any other benefits allowed ” under the law, and figured out his income tax.” 821- 16th Ave., Genelle_- PRinienairannian Experienced Carpentry Aluminum Siding .

The widespread notion that a few drinks daily are harmless is punctured by .a study covering more than 3,000 utility company employees in Vancouver. Heavy drinkers have high- er blood pressure than fellow workers who drink less and appear to have a higher rate of coronary heart disease, al- © though the latter is not yet proven, : The study covers 1,233 employees of the People’s Gas. Co.,:and 1,900 employees of Western Electric Co. In the first. group there were 38 admittedly heavy drinkers (five drinks of 1% ounces of alcohol in the form of whisky, beer or wine). and 117 in the second up. ; In, the gas company, the problem drinkers average 8.5 . millimetres higher reading on systolic: (upper figure) blood pressure and 4.7 millimetres more on diastolic pressure. Death rate from all causes * also is higher among the heavy. drinkers but it stil} cannot be determined conclusively if cor- - onary heart disease is a factor. A study published in Tor- onto three years ago showed that alcoholics had 1° times the death rate from hardening of the arteries and degenera- tive heart disease than the rest of the Toronto population. ens Vintage Paving - Company Ltd. © Parking Areas .© Drivewoys © Tennis Courts, etc. For Free Estimates Call Dennis or * _ George Collect: 252-3215 229-5414 . jibegtalative Library,: “Parliomant Bligs., 50k aA Victoria, Be Ce | Weve: x4 : d peng vil Feds" 28 Published Every Thursday Morning at “The Crossroads of the Kootenays”- = 80, No, TWO SECTIONS (A&B) CASTLEGAR, BRITISH COLUMBIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1977 he 25 CENTS (HOME DELIVERY 22 GENTS! i ByRYON GUEDES Bs Edltor, Castlegar News.
