ROXBORO, NORTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, JANUARY 4, 1945 Womble To Again Head Polio Drive Two Reasons To Feel Happy Mrs. S. B. Satterlvhite has two reasons for happiness: her Army husband has received a medal, and she is moving back home. Ma.j. S. B. Satterwhite, of the United States Army, now in Germany and formerly principal of Allensville school, has been awarded Yhe Bronze Star for “meritorious achievement in mil itary «perations against the ene my, November 25. in France”, ac cording to a letter received from him this week by his wife. No de tails cf the distinguishing action were mentioned by the Major. Mrs. Satterwhite, incidentally, is moving' this week to Roxboro and will have an apartment in the i B. B. Knight residence, High School drive. To live with her is her sister, Mrs. \V. N. Reynolds, wife cl' Lt. ij. g.) Reynolds, now on sea duty. The Reynolds’ daughter, Kay, will also live here. Mrs. Satterwhite and Mrs. Rey- i ntlds have for the past several ! months been living near Oxford, j bi.t have for weeks been trying to find an apartment, in Roxboro. They have it now. Dates For Tax Paying Approach Date For Payin'*' Last Install ment, Filin**' Declaration. Washington, Dec. 31.—1 t may not be a happy New Year thought, but as an income tax payer your next appointment with your Uncle Sam uel is only two weeks off. Jail. 15 is one of the important j tax dates of 1945. In fact it will steal : some thunder front the most notorious cf all income tax days. March 15. , There is a new and special in ducement to many taxpayers to wind up all their 1944 income tax obligations by Jan. 15 instead of March 15. Millions of persons will do just that. Jan. 15 is the deadline for: 1— Faying the final installment of your estimated tax for 1944. ii you owe it 2 Filing an amended declaration of estimated tax for 1944, if it looks as though your estimate of last April 15 was wrong and you want to adjust your final payment. You aren't really required to file this amended declaration unless you un derestimated the tax by more than 20 per cent. » .3--Filing an original declaration of estimated tax for 1944 if you are required to file one and have not vet done it. Farmers especially are affected by this because they were not required to make such a decla ration last April. The deadline for those three .ac tions was originally Dec. 15 and was extended by Congress. Anybody who is supposed to do any of those three things can sim j ply ignore if it he files his final U 944 income tax return by Jan, 15 land pays all of the tax due on it. Whether you do this or not, don't ! forget that declarations of estimated | tax for 1945 will be due March 15. | The number of people who have to | file that declaration will be less than the number that had to file | the declaration for 1944. For 1944. tax payers had to file i declarations if their wages were more than $2,700 single or $31500 married. For 1945. taxpayers will have to file the estimates if their wages are more than $5,000 single with an addition ol SSOO for each additional exemption such as a wife or dependent. For both 944 and 1945, declarations are required if the taxpayer earns more than SIOO from sources not subject to with holding taxes. If you don't expect to file your final 1944 return by Jan. 15, you must of course file it by March 15, the traditional time. March 15, by the way, is the fi nal deadline for those who post poned part of their 1943 taxes at the time the Nation first went on a pay-as-you-go basis. If you still owe part of the 1943 tax, a separate o Miss Winstead Better The condition of Miss Eleanor Winstead, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. G.

Epidemic Os Fast Summer Places Extra Emphasis On •Person Appeal This Year. Pointing out that the 1944 epi demic of infantile paralysis was the second worst outbreak of the disease in its history in the United States, the Rev. Rufus J. Womble, Chair man of tlie 1945 polio campaign i.f Person County, issued a statement today in which he emphasized the "need to reinforce our lines of de fense against this insidious enemy cf childhood.” The Polio Fund drive this year will bg from January 14. through January 31, according to Chairman Womble, who said today that he expects the quota in Person to be • higher than it was last year, when \ $1,416 was contributed. Co-chairman for the Woman's , Division this year is to be Miss Dor- ; otliy Taylor, of Roxboro Chamber I of Commerce, and publicity work I will again be in charge of Thomas i J. Shaw, Jr., of the Courier-Times, j according to Mr. Womble. Theatres are to show trailers ■dealing with Polio during the drive and theatre collections here will be in charge of Miss Mabel Massey, ol Roxboro high school faculty, who will have the active assistance of her Hi-Y clubs. Tag day. later on m trie campaign, will be tinder di rection of Miss Opal Brown, also of the high school faculty, with the cooperation cf the Girl Scouts. Cub Scouts under Fred Bishop and Sanders McWhorter, will pul up posters shortly before the cam paign opens and full cooperation is expected from the public schools, church, civic and social groups. It will be’recalled that Person County during the Polio epidemic of last? Summer had two deaths from the! disease. Reappointment of Chairman Woriibjri, who served last year, alsoj was recently announced by State Chairman Ralph McDonald, of Cnffpel Hill. The annual appeal Is again being conducted this year in celebration of the President's Birthday, and, its jin the past, most of the funds will jbe used to combat polio’ in this : State. 1 Although North Carolina had one of its worse epidemics of infantile paralysis during the past year, the death rate from the dread disease was the lowest ever recorded, solely because the funds to provide the best possible medical aid and equip ment were immediately available. Chairman Womble pointed out. This record proves again that quick hospitalization of victims is imperative and the campaign this year will be pointed towards funds to support adequate hospital facili ties to serve the growing number of persons stricken each year, the Chairman said. Since no one knows where, or how hard, polio may strike in 1945, we must again be ready,to meet the attack wherever it may come.'' Chairman Womble said. Through November 21 of this past year, 848 cases of infantile paralysis had been reported to the State Board of Health since before the epidemic last summer. Os this number 618 patients have received , treatment at the Hickory Polio Emergency Hospial. the Gastonia Orhopaedic Hospital and the Char lotte Memorial Hospital. Four hun dred and thirty-five were treated a Hickory. Only 13 deaths were reported at these three hospitals, making the lowest death rate ever recorded for an ''infantile paralysis epidemic. Fighty-three percent of the hos pitalized cases reported will return to normal or nearly-normal health, as a result of early and modern treatment, while only 17 percent will retain some paralysis.
