Tax Tips —

each year is the increase in the
value of the bonds as shown in the
table of redemption values on the
reverse side of each bond. Once
a taxpayer has elected to accrue
the discount (interest), he can-
not change to another method
without permission of the Com-
missioner.
The income received from ren-
ting any property whether a
house, a boat, a trailer, a lawn-
mower, or other type of property
id included in gross income.
Dividends are distributions of
cash or property by a corpora-
tion to its stockholders. Since most
distributions are made out of the
earnings of the company they are
included in gross income and
are taxable. However, certain
types of dividend income qualify
for preferential tax treatment.
Qualified dividends are subject
to a dividend exclusion which
may exclude up to $200.00 in divi-
dend income from taxable income.
Rents, interest, dividends, and
other income are to be included
in gross income for the taxable
year in which they are actually
or constructively received by the
taxpayer unless included for a
different year in accordance with
the taxpayer’s method of ac-
counting. Each taxpayer is re-
quired to adopt a method of ac-
counting which clearly reflects
taxable income. The method selec-
ted (whether the cash or accrual
method) determines the time that
an item of income becomes a part
of gross income.

used to construct beauty, or the
skill of man’s ability to recreate
a thought of feeling.
To assist Naval Station military

Hansson, art instructor of the

The six foot, six inches tall
Hansson has been working on the

months, instructing personnel in
the skillful application of the
brush. He teaches that art denotes
the broadest sense of ability to
make something or to execute a
plan. He adds that “art influ-

in applying their talent to the
principles of making things that
have form and beauty.
The 21-year old youth started
on his career in 1958. His step-
father, Robert D. Fraser, then a
major in the Air Force stationed
here, married the former Hrefna
Kristjansdottir of Reykjavik, the
capital city of Iceland. Shortly
after their marriage, Major Fra-
ser received orders to Naples,
Italy. It was in Italy that Hans-
son was first introduced into the
American school system. To
achieve a better understanding of
the English language Hansson
enrolled into the American mili-
tary dependents school at Naples.
During his enrollment as a special
student he became familiar with
basketball, his favorite sport to-
day.
Putting his art talent to work,
Hanson entered the Inter
national Art Show in Capua and
Naples, Italy. For the show, he
exhibited five paintings expres-
sing his talent with oils, pastels,
and water colors. With his unique
style with the brush and oils, he
was awarded second place for his
painting of the Madonna.
When his father was transfer-
red to Washington, D. C. in
1963, Hansson enrolled for his
junior year at Washington-Lee
High School, Arlington, Va. Later
in the year, he painted a nine
by twenty-two foot mural of
American history, symbolizing the
landing of .the Pilgrims to the
building of the United Nations
in New York.
The colorful mural was painted
on a classroom wall and he re-
ceived recognition from the
American Historical Society for
this achievement.
After the Reykjavik-born youth
graduated in 1965, he returned to
Iceland. A few days after his ar-
rival to his home land, he filed for
a position with the United States
Information Service in Reykjavik.
During this time he also coached
the University of Iceland’s basket-
ball team.
Last spring at the Hotel Saga
in Reykjavik, the talented youth
displayed his paintings in the
Annual Art Show for Icelandic
Artists, entering as the youngest
artist.
As a creative person, Hanson
plans to continue and advance in
the art world. He intends to re-
turn to the states and attend col-
lege.
