civilians at war
The government needs and asks
its citizens in this 169th week of
'the war to:
1. Give all you can to the 1945
Red Cross drive. Voluntary con
tributions of $200 million are
Reeded to carry out its vast pro
gram of service.
” 2. Keep on saving urgently
needed waste paper and kitchen
fats—also tin cans,. where they
are locally collected.
3. Help save cargo space in
transport planes ,by using V-mail
when writing to soldiers overseas.
DECLARATION OF
ESTIMATED 1945 TAX
'Farmers (persons receiving at
least two-thirds of their income
from farming) are permitted to
delay filing 4945 declarations until
January 15, 1946. At that time
they may, if they desire, file their
annual returns instead of their
declarations. Declarations are re
quired from farmers who expect
to earn $500 or more this year.
If they postpone the filing of dec
larations until January 15, 1946,
they must pay the full amount of
estimated tax at that time. Spe
cial forms and instructions have
heen mailed out to all persons who
filed declarations last year. Addi
tional copies may be obtained
from the office of any collector of
internal revenue. Earners who
have not as yet filed their 1944
income tax returns must do so by
March 15.

IJ PROVIDES YOU WITH COMPLETE
FINANCIAL SERVICE
You may never have had occasion to investi
gate more than one or two of the services a bank
renders individuals. Perhaps your experience
has gone no further than the savings depart

the heads of the other departments many ser
vices which would benefit you. Know your
bank better.

“SAFETY FIRST” FOR
FARM INVESTMENTS
When the farmer invests his
hard-earned money he sheiuld be
careful to invest it where he is
certain that his principal will be
safe, is the advice of M. L. Pred
more, chief of the agricultural
section of the treasury’s war fi
nance division. He recalls how
many farmers, lured by high in
terest, invested to their sorrow
in speculative stocks and bonds
during tlhe lasf war period. “For
this reason,” he declares, “war
bonds are a first choice for the in
vestment of farm savings. They
have all the resources of America
i back of them. In addition, the se
ries E war bond pays the highest
rate of interest of any govern
ment security now available.”
TIGHTENED HOME
auliAK I'ttUtiKAM
A tightened home canning1 sug
ar program for the 1945 season—
a program designed to insure a
fair distribution of the available
sugar to tho^e who actually need
it for canning—'has been announc
ed by Administrator Chester
Bowles of DPA. Highlights of
the new program are as follow's:
The housewife will apply at her
local rationing board and indicate
the amount of canning she intends
to do this year. Local boards will
issue 'five-pound canning sugar
coupons. No ration stamps in war
ration book 4 will be good for
canning sugar this year. For can
ning fruits and fruit juices, the
allowance will be on the basis of
one pound for each four quarts to
be canned. The total allowance
must not exceed 20 pounds per
person, or 160 pounds to a single
family, even though the family
may contain more than eight per
sons.
COTTON GOODS FOR
SMALLER TOWNS
■Distribution of the 10,000,000
yards of cotton goods that is be
ing made available for the first
quarter of 1945 to merchants in
rural areas has been limited to
merchants who, in 1944, received
less than 20 per cent of their 1943
sales of cotton goods, the war
production board reports. The al
location of the cotton goods was
made specifically for over-the
counter sales to persons who live
in small towns and rural areas,
and wtho usually purchase such
good for use in making garments
in the home. For the purpose of
the distribution program, small
towns and rural areas were de
fined as communities' of less than
25,000, WPIB explained. No priori
ty assistance wras granted to re
tailers with greater population.
HOME REPAIRS A
VAST PROGRAM
Nearly 390,000 American fami
lies financed urgently needed
borne repairs and maintenance
last year with funds advanced by
private financial institutions and
insured by the federal housing
administration. Abner H. F'ergu
son, commissioner of the national
■housing administration, says,

1 guess you’ve seen pictures of those real ancient
cars that are quite a fed with some prominent
-people. I'm no big shot, but folks envy me, even
lit that, for keeping this car like an heirloom. Oh,
some say that any good motor oil would largely
do the trick, and they’re welcome to believe it.
J simply say this: Keeping my engine
oil-plated ever since I switched to
Conoco N*h motor oil, has helped me
’beat the curse of engine adds. I got
wise that adds from combustion always
try to corrode an engine’s inside finish, but
oil-plating furnishes special protection. A syn
thetic in Conoco N«» oil, I’ve learned, behaves
almost like magnetism. This makes the working
parts attract oil-plating, and hold on to it. It’s
fnafawmd as doaely as chrome plating to keep
metal under cover from adds. That would
certainly be a check on corrosion, from the
minute you switch to an oil-plated engine.
So just get Cenoeo N'A motor oil.

Keep Advertising
PEOPLE DON’T STOP BUYING
EVEN IF PRICES ARE ADVANCING
EVEN IF MERCHANDISE IS HARD TO GET
They keep right on doing things day after day, week after
week, month after month, just as they did last year and the year
before . . . They’re working, playing, buying, wearing out and
replacing all kinds of merchandis this year the same as before
... and with surprisingly little variation from month to month.
THEY MUST HAVE DRUGS
THEY REPLACE CLOTHING l
HOME EQUIPMENT BUYING GOES ON j
THEY GET THEIR EARNINGS REGULARLY, ■
FOOD PURCHASES GO ON ’
The business is there, twelve months of the year. People are
buying and will continue to buy. The only question is, Where?
If the particular store cannot get the merchandise to sell, nor
make substitution for the things that are not available, and will '
not advertise, other stores will do the business, not only now, but
in a larger measure when Victory is won and business goes back
to normal. , s
TO ADVERTISE NOW IS GOOD BUSINESS NOW -/
IT’S BETTER BUSINESS FOR THE FUITIRE
