SAMUEL. RINGOLD; WARD: ane:

Borm into; slavery. in Maryland: in: 1817; Ward became |~

a fugitime while: still: a; child, andi fled) with. his: panents;, first: |\q
to New Jensey. andi then to, New. Yonk: His education was.

studying: at the Oneida Institute: he: became. an. agent: of tite:
New: York Ayiti-Slavery Society, in: 1839: During this: same:
year; he: was: also, licensed: to: pneach: by. the New: York: Con_gregational: Association. Along: with; his: religious duties,
he traveled: throughout New York: andi the ~other free: states,
lecturing: for the: Society.

Ward). was: deeply~ committed: to. abolitionism: and: his:
position: as. an, agent gave: him: ~... the ever-to-be remem:
heredi pleasure: of meeting: ali classes; of Abolitionists;, pror
fiting: by thein suggestions, accepting: their hospitalities;. re-.|
joicing: im their sympathies: andi sharing: their devotions;~~~ Hg),
was convinced: that if the principle: be: admitted: that: ~ black: |)
man; may, be: legally, righteously, enslaved; so may: any; other)
man;: thaf slavery was altogether evil~ regardless: off thte:|
color: of its: victims. Ward. believed: that one of the: methods,
by which slavery. could. be abolished. was through participation in. political action. Thus, he) joined the Liberty. Party
and actively. supported it. A very popular orator, this ~Black:
Daniel Webster,~ as, he was cailed by many, was among
the most famous: of the Negro: Abolitionists:

Traveling in: England as so many of his ~compatriots
did, he-beeame internationally: known. Upon: returning from:
England, she. went, to; Canada, where he became an agent~
for the Ganadian:!
the variols Canadian~ ~Négro settlements. Wand: finally left
Canada. and. settled. in: the British West Indies: where: he re~
fMained: until his deat: in: 1867.

Timely Tax Tip~

b Timely tips were: offered recently by Benjamin D.'
Waechter, social security district manager here in Down-:
town-Detroit to help you. make sure that you get: all of your
social security earnings credit when taxpaying time rolls
around April 15. ~

Mr. Waechter emphasized that if. you worked for two |~

employers during 1962, you may: be: entitled. to have, any
excess: social: security taxes you paid refunded, or applied:
to reducing the income tax owed.

In 1962; he said; you as an employee had 314 percetit
of your earnings up to the first $4800 a year deducted. from
your wages. by your employer. Your: W-2 Form: should show
no more than $150 deducted from your wages ir the F.TA-C.
(Federal Insurance Contributions Act). box even if you
were paid more than $4800, the maximum: creditable. for
social: security.

Mr. Waechter pointed out that if you worked for two
or mpre employers. duning the year ~and the amounts in the
F.1LA.C. boxes on all of your W-2. Forms add up. to more
than $150; you: have: some- money coming back...
- "Bhe tax rate.for a. self-employed person for 1962 was:|
47 percent of the first $4800 of self-employment earnings.
_ Even if, because of a large number of dependents and
small earnings, you.don~t owe any income--tax, a self-employment social security tax must be paid and a return
filed if your net earnings exceeded: $400 for the year.

= Many. self-employed: persons who: file declarations of
estimated. income tax prefer to spread out the payment of

their social security by: paying it in four installments along
with their estimated income tax. Under the income tax

taw; Mr. Waechter said, self-employed: persons, other than: |
to earn at least: $40 income fax on in- |:

farmers, who expect.
comé not subject to withholding, are required. to file decla
rations. of their estimated income tax and make advance.

1 guess, expressed it nicely. whon
he said: ~There~s no. such thing

~The. best translation. we could

expression meaning, ~I ljke it,~
or ~E- dig it~. NOVA; meaning
new; often: related: to a new_star
that has just appeared in the,

- Thus; ~I. like the new sound.?
The music~Bossa- Nova~might
be considered cool. jazz, a wandering of: melody: with a regular -but unique background
rhythm.

Not many. ~people seem to
know that the music Laurindo
Almeida introduced along with
the Bud Shank aggregation some
years back was nothing more: than
bossa nova in, its embryonic
stage, It wasn't downed at that
