Income Tax Hints
Everyone should carry his fair
share of the income tax. But the
government expects you to pay
only your fair tax—neither too
much nor too little. To make sure
you don’t accidently overpay this
March fifteenth, here is a list of
eight key checkpoints.
Most wage earners will file the
simplified form (1040-A) or a
short form 1040. However, many
Could save money by itemizing
deductions on the long form 1040.
Check your deductions care
fully. If they amount to more than
ten percent of your income be
sure to use a long form.
If your itemized deductions
total up to less than ten per cent
of your income, you save if you
Can take the automatic ten per
Cent with the simplified form 1040-
A or the short form 1040.
If you are married, you can
Uearly always save money by filing
u joint return. You do this by
totaling the income you and your
wife receive (even if your wife
has no income of her own) on one
tax return which both of you sign.
The government calls this
splitting your income.” For ex

America’s Way
Every March the American Red
Cross goes to the people of this
country for support of its pro
gram. This program entails res
ponsibilities decreed by federal
statute, responsibilities of national
and international scope that con
tinue both in war and peace.
The response of the people is
voluntary. It is for each individual
to decide how much he can give
of his time and his money to assist
in carrying out these responsi
bilities. No one says what the in
dividual must do.
Yet the people—in the little
towns, in the rural districts, in
the big cities—accept the chal
lenge year after year and volun
tarily make the Red Cross res
ponsibilities their business. They
take pride in shouldering their
neighbors’ burdens when the sud
den hurricane, the forest fire, the
flash flood sweep away homes and
possessions. No one tells them
they must help. They respond to
the needs of their fellows in the
pioneer spirit of helpfulness that
is their heritage.
The response of Americans, not
only at fund raising time but
through out the year, to every
part of the Red Cross program—
blood, safety, service to veterans

a very timely picture of the gen
eral state of affairs in Europe. He

most interesting and enthusiasti
cally received by all those in at
tendance.
Safety Council Holds
Quarterly Meeting
The Eastern Carolina Safety
Council held its first quarterly
meeting of the year in Goldsboro
on February 8th.
The principal address “Civil De
fense and Industry” was made by
E. Z. Jones, State Director of Civil
Defense.
Mr. Jones presented a very time
ly message pointing out that an)
part of the United States is vulner
able to an air attack by Russia.
He further stated that an all out
attack on productivity will be of
prime concern to the enemy.
The Civil Defense is an organi
zation of civilians to minimize
enemy action.
Within our own plant we can
best fight the enemy by maintain
ing peak quality production; by
staying on the job, by avoiding
crippling accidents which slow
down production, and by being
on the lookout for hazards and
sabotage which might cause injurv
or plant breakdown.
Representing Caromount at this
meeting were Herman Allen, Warp
ing; Owen Sohnon, Jim Speight,
Leslie Alexander, Leslie Jones,
