PUBLISHED WEEKLY
SENATE EXPECTED TO PASS PAY-AS-YOU-GO TAX PLAN
_ I ___ ___ _
MODIFIED VERSION
OF RUML MEASURE
MAY BE APPROVED
Differs From House Meas
ure And Differences Will
Have To Be Adjusted
Following heated debate in the
United States Senate that is now
in progress, the upper branch of
Congress is expected to pass a
modified form of the Ruml tax
bill this week end.
The Senate finance committee
has already approved a pay-as-you
go measure abating either 1942 or
1943 liabilities, whichever is lower.
In taking this action, the commit
tee rode roughshod over opposi
tion of Treasury experts and its
own leaders and over the modified
measure passed by the House last
week. The committee voting was
13 to 7.
The plan advanced originally by
Beardsley Ruml, chairman of the
New York Reserve bank, involved
excusing almost everyone’s 1942
taxes in order to place citizen’s
on a current basis, the Senate
measure would abate only the low
er 1942 or 1943 incomes. The tax
payer would have to pay currently
under present rates for the other
year, with special provision made
for “windfall” war earnings.
The committee also signified the
collection of a proposed 20 per
cent withholding tax against wages
and salaries, calculated to be put
on a current basis all wage earn
ers with up to $2,500 if single and
$3,200 if married.
This differs a good deal from
the measure passed last week by
the House and should the Senate
vote favorably on their commit
tee’s proposal, which they no
doubt will, the differences will
have to be reconciled with the
House and Chairman Doughton is
opposed to the Ruml plan.
The House plan provides for 75
percent forgiveness of 1942 taxes.
Its principal features include 20
percent withholding tax to collect
earnings up to $2,000; for persons

Unusual Project For A Jun
ior College. Miss Rhyne
In Charge
Pioneering in the junior college
field, the home economics depart
ment at Brevard college has just
established a home management
house here on the campus to give
the girls who are majoring in
home economics an opportunity to
actually “practice what they are
taught.”
Practically all progressive four
year colleges offer residence train
ing in home management houses
to juniors and seniors majoring in
home economics, but it is believed
that Brevard college is one of the
first junior institutions in this
section of the south to provide
such laboratory instruction.
“The girls actually learn “to do
by doing” and of course the pri
mary purpose of having the home
management house is to give girls
terminating formal training a
maximum opportunity to develop
further than the classroom pro
vides in learning the art of home
making.” Miss Madge Rhyne, di
rector of the home economics de
partment, explained.
Students in the home economics
department have spent many
hours cleaning, painting and fur
nishing a six-room cottage here
on the campus and converting it
into what they call the “home
management house where we’ll
learn how to run a home of our
own.”
The house is attractively fur
nished with simple, inexpensive
furniture which the girls obtained
themselves, with the assistance of
their director. It is one of the
most livable homes here and the
sophomores take pride in calling
it their own. The house accommo
dates five students and the faculty
advisor.
Charter-member students who
are now living in the home man
agement house are Mary Adding
ton, of Franklin; Louise Burnette,
of Scaly; Audrey Starnes, of Mon
roe, and Kitty Smith, Rutherford
ton.
In spite of numerous intricate
problems, hard work of counting
the costs and of meeting the emer
gencies, the girls state that it is
the most practical and profitable
experience in their college life.
They do all the cleaning, meal
planning, budgeting and cooking.
“It’s really wonderful and I’m
learning a lot,” one of the stu
dents said.
“The need for trained home
makers cannot be overestimated
and the number needed far ex
ceeds WAACS, WAVES or
SPARS,” Miss Rhyne stated.
Miss Rhyne received B. S. and
M. S. degrees from the Woman’s
college of the University of North
Carolina. She has been head of
the home economics department at
Brevard college since 1941.
The 54 billion passenger-miles
traveled by Americans on trains
in 1942 was an all-time high.

VIADUCT HERE ON
MAIN STREET WAS
DAMAGED ON FRI.
Extensive Repairs Will Have
To Be Made. Traffic
Still Maintained
The viaduct here on Main street
will have to be repaired extensive
ly as a result of the damage done
by a fire last Friday afternoon, it
was learned this week.
Southern Railway inspectors
were here last Saturday and said
that it would be safe to use the
bridge for limited traffic, how
ever.
Underneath the bridge was
rather badly charred. Firemen said
it was one of the hottest fires
they’ve fought in some time. Three
streams of water w'ere used before
the flames were brought under
control.
It is not known just how the
fire started. Some thought boys
playing had set grass on fire near
the bridge, while others contend
ed that it caught from a train
which had passed under the bridge
about an hour before the fire was
apprehended.
