Carolina Council Has Christmas Banquet
More than 800 people attended what
was probably the most enjoyable affair
of the year—the joint Christmas din
ner of the Junior and Senior Carolina
Councils, at the Leaksville armory on
December 12th. Members of both Coun
cils, local ministers, doctors and other
invited guests were treated to a sump
tuous repast,-and a spirit of happiness
and comradie prevailed.
The community band, led by Jesse
Griggs, furnished splendid music, and
several selections by the talented young
musician. Miss Marilyn Spickler, shown
at right, were especially enjoyed. It is
confidently believed that Marilyn and
her accordian will soon be playing be
fore metropolitan audiences.
The highlight of the evening—aside
from, the fine dinner—was the floor
show, “Follies Americana”, from Chi
cago. The dancing and juggling acts
were particularly enjoyed. In fact, tlie
entire program was a grand success
and the program committee is to be
highly commended for their efforts.
In the pictures shown, a fair idea of
the crowd can be gleaned. The hall,
decorated in Christmas motif, was
filled.
Victory Tax
Effective January 1, 1943, a Victory
Tax of 5% is levied by the United
States Government on the Victory Tax

and wages are subject to the Victory

$624.00 to each person.
Employers are required by law to
deduct the Victory Tax from the sala
ries and wages of all employees. The
following table shows the weekly de

“If you’re not very careful you’re
going to have trouble with a brunette,”
warned the fortune teller.
“M-m,” mused the patron, “That’s
my wife. What makes you think I’ll
have trouble with her?”
“Theres’ a blonde hair on your
coat.”
Actions Speak Louder.
“What did your wife say when you
got home last night?”
“Not a word, and I was going to
have those two front teeth pulled any
way.”

The employer remits the amount of
tax collected to the Federal Govern
ment.
The fact that the employer is re
quired to deduct the amount of that
tax weekly does not relieve the em
ployee from filing a return. A return
must be filed in 1944 if the employee’s
total income during 1943 exceeds $624.
It is impossible to explain all the
provisions of the tax, such as post war
credit, etc., in this article. Your fore
man will be glad to explain more in
detail as to the tax deductions and the
tax, itself.
