E. Wall, dis trict director of Internal Revenue for North Caro lina, observed today. Early tax returns filed at the IRS Service Center in Chamblee, Ga., show an unusually high percentage of returns with mistakes ’ in computation of the sur charge. In some cases, taxpayers are not comput ing the additional tax, he ' noted. The surcharge was effec tive for only nine months of 1968. Consequently, the rate for the calendar year 1968 is 7Vi per cent. Most salaried taxpayers experi enced increased withhold ing rates to reflect the surcharge during the past year. Wall urged taxpayers to read their instruction booklet which provides step-by-step methods of calculation. In the case of Form 1040, page 10 of the instructions carries the tax surcharge tables. For the card Form 1040A, tax payers should consult page 8 of the instructions pre pared for taxpayers earn ing less than SIO,OOO. If a tax return is prop erly prepared, it takes four to six weeks to issue a refund, Internal Revenue Service officials said. )H^ Coat of Arms $15.00 Unframed <Do you know your Coat of Arms?

Emergency shelters must be hurriedly equipped and manned by personnel with knowledge of what .is needed and the most efficient way to pro vide it.” “Many of our Auxiliary members avail themselves SECTION C of the information and in struction on how best to proceed in the face of any emergency,” Mrs. Reaves explained, "by enrolling in one or more of the courses in first aid, such as medi cal self help, care of the sick and injured, first aid and mass feeding. We are urging everyone to be pre pared to offer their ser vices if a disaster should strike their community. Education in Civil Defense and Emergency Planning could have thousands of lives in time of chaos and disaster. Preparedness is our best insurance against such incidents.” Time is the nurse and breeder of all good.
