The MILL Issued Every Two Weeks By and For the Employees WHLSTLE MARSHALL'FIELD & COMPANY, LNC, Manufacturing Division, Spray, North Carolina Volume Two Monday, February 14, 1944 Number 17 Red Cross Drive Starts March 6th We are again called upon to help out in the war effort. This time it is the Red Cross. The Nation is asked for $200,000,000. The quota of the Tri- Cities is $13,800.00. This is about the same as was raised last fall for the United War Fund. With the coming invasion of Europe the Red Cross is confronted with an enormous task. Large quantities of supplies will be needed. This gives all of us an oppor tunity to help in a small way to re lieve the suffering of the men and wo men in the armed forces. In order to meet our quota it will require on an average of one-half day’s work for every wage earner. Those who can af ford it will no doubt want to give at least one day’s work. This drive will start Monday, March 6, and end Saturday, March 11. Every one is cordially invited to cooperate in making this a success. J. F. WILSON, Production Manager. Marshall Field & Company, Manufacturing Division. V . RAYMOND GROGAN CLAIMED BY DEATH John Raymond Grogan, 49, well- known citizen of Spray, died Monday morning, January 31, at the Leaksville hospital after an illness of several weeks. Mr. Grogan spent his entire life in this community, and was foreman of weaving in the Rayon Mill of Marshall Field & Co. The funeral was held Wednesday af ternoon at 4 o’clock at Spray Baptist church. Rev. J. P. Davis and Rev. H. W. Peters conducted the services. Burial was in Overlook cemetery. Surviving are the widow; three sons, Heisel Grogan, of the U. S. Navy, Bobby and Billy Grogan, of the home; three daughters, Mrs. Dorothy Dillard, Mrs. Margaret Grogan and Miss Oudrey Grogan, of Leaksville; and his mother, Mrs. Nannie Grogan, of Leaksville. V . . . — “How dare you swear before my wife?” said the indignant husband. “I’m very sorry sir,” replied the oth er man. “I was unaware your wife wished to swear first.” These lovely little girls are Myrna and Martha Stephens, twin daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Stephens, of Spray. They celebrated their third birthday on January 25th. We surely wish them many, many happy returns of the day. Mr. Stephens is employed in the Weaving Department of the Rayon Mill. Can you tell which is Myrna and which is Martha. We can’t. V . . . — DR. LEE MARTIN BUYS DRUG STORE We doubt if there are any service men from the Tri-Cities who do not know and remember Dr. Lee Martin. And you fellows will be interested in knowing that the big fellow has bought the Spray Drug Store, formerly owned and operated by Dan Taylor. Dr. Martin, with his long experience in the drug business, can be depended on to give the best of service. He says he will always be glad to have you service men drop in to see him — as well as ail of his other friends and customers. Hes a former service man; 15 months in France in World War I. Drop in to see him when you’re on fur lough. About You’r Tax Returns Many employees think that because Victory and income tax deductions have been made by the Company from weekly wages they will not be required to file income tax returns for the year 1943. This is incorrect. The law re quires that the following persons should file returns with the Commissioner of Internal Revenue on or before March 15, 1944; 1. Persons who filed a return for the year 1942. 2. Single persons or married persons living separate and apart whose income was $500 or more. 3. Married persons living with hus band or wife and the income of either of them exceeded $624.00, or their com bined income exceeded $1,200.00.. 4. Persons from whose pay deduc tions for tax have been made but no tax is due, should file a return so as to get the refund. The Government credits you by the amount of tax which has been withheld, but in view of the fact that only Vic tory tax was deducted from your pay for the first six months of 1943 and income tax deductions did not begin until July 1, 1943, it is likely that in many cases additional tax will have to be paid. If the amount which has been deducted from your pay does not equal the amount of tax which will be due as shown on the final return for 1943, all of the balance must be paid at the time the 1943 final return is filed. Also, single persons whose anticipat ed income for 1944 is $2,700.00, and married persons, if the joint income of huband and wife is expected to ex ceed $3,500.00, will be required to file a declaration for 1944 on or before March 15, showing their anticipated income for the year. The Federal and State Revenue De partments have advised the Company that they will have representatives in this township on the following dates and at the following places to assist taxpayers in filing their income tax re turn: Draper Y.M.C.A., February 15, 16, North Spray Y.M.C.A., February 17; Central Y.M.C.A., February 18, 19; Leaksville Post Office, February 21, 22, 23.
