Tax Listing To Begin Tomorrow Preparations for the listing of personal property and real'estate tuxes in Cherryville and Cherry ville township have been com pleted and the tax collectors, Messrs. E.

ALLOTMENTS Atlanta, Ga., Doc. 30.—Tliat the United States government akes care of the families of ose men who are missing in ac n> is shown by the thousands a dollars paid in allotments each month to the dependents of these men, according to Lt. Colonel J. H. Bush. Army Emergency Re lief Officer, headquarters, Fourth Service Command. Under present law allowance to families of missing men can be paid for only 12 months. At the end of that time the head of the department concerned is author ized to make a finding of his death, which procedure wiil en able the payment, following the finding, of the six months gratu ity provided by law. Since there is no hope of get ting the Japanese government to give a complete list of American prisoners taken at Bataan and Java, by the end of the 12 months period, it is believed that the Secretary of War will extend al lotments fpr a longer period, as will the Navy, for the Army and Navy will make every effort to prevent injury to national mor ale. In obtaining the allotment or gratuity there must be absolute proof of the right to it, the wife or widow being required to pro duce a certified copy of the mar riage record and affidavit show ing that she was the wife of the man at the date of missing or dead. The wife or wridow is the natural beneficiary and the first to receive consideration. If there is no widow then the minor children receive the gratuity, and after that any other dependent relative who may have been pre viously designated by the soldier or officer as the beneficiary. In order to prevent an attempt to obtain money by fraud the foregoing is strictly adhered to, with a fine of $2,000 and several years imprisofnrjent. Watch Night Service Tonight There will be Watch Night service tonight at the First Meth odist church beginning at 10:00 P. M. Everybody welcome to attend. At Camp Rucker Pfc. Lawrence W. Stroup was inducted into the U. S. Army at Fcrt Bragg on June 6, 1942. He was transferred to Camp Rucker, Ozark, Alabama, where he is sta tioned now. _ Lawrence likes the army line and says it is like anything else it is what you make of it, but he is proud he can serve his country through the army. Along with his army life which consists of long- days, he always looks forward for the time when the Cherryville Eagle conies fly j ing in, and letters from friends I back home. He says if those at home knew how much a soldier enjoys mail jfrom home, they would write more ojten. His ad dress is Pfc. Lawrence \V. Stroupe Hq. Btry. 317th F. A Bn.

Harvey Lankford who is in the' Marines, possibly in the Solomon Islands, to his mother and sister here. The letter was re ceived a few days ago and was written November 17th. The letter follows: Dear Mom and Nellie: Hope this letter fields you peaceful and well. As for me, 1 am as fine as I could possibly be. As far as my welfare is con cerned, it is tops, that is, physi cally and every other way. As far as being home is concerned, that would sure be nice, but 1 don’t think I would be at the least satisfied to be back home and the war going on. Exactly where I am and what I am doing is satisfactory a far as I am con cerned, and any other thing they call on me for is 0. K., 'til this war is finished in our favor. 1 he | big Naval Victory in the Solomon i Island area was sure pleasing, and it goes to show just about, how things are going to go from i now on, and I don’t see how any | country can hold out long with . defeats such as that. But don’t get too enthused nor to optimis fio, but just remember time and patience will save lots of lives. You would probably be surprised if you knew how much they are dointr to look out for all the boys’ welfare. I don’t see how it could possibly be better. Since I’ve made Sergeant, it is my first duty to see that my men are prop erly cared for, and then it’s my duty to see that they are properly trained. First of all, to look out for their own safety, and then, to drive forward. Therefore you see, as far as my safety is con cerned, also my welfare, I think I am much better off here, be cause I. am trained, and every pro vision is made in my favor, whereas, if I was back home and running shelter-skelter, a n d should we be bombed, not know ing what to do, I’d probablv be knocked off, and another thing, we can get cigaretts for instance, all we want for 60c a carton; and we don’t have to take an empty tube along when we want a new tube of tooth paste. So you see, instead of you worrying about me. it is the other way around, I'm worried about you, because I don't see how you people back in the States get along the way everything is restricted and rat ioned. And I’ll bet with all the precautions your air raid wardens have taught you, I’ll bet there (Continued on back page) Mrs. Hoyle Succumbs To Heart Attack Funeral Services Conducted From First Methodist Church Wednesday Afternoon At 4:00 O'Clock. At Atlantic City Pvt. James S. Mauney, son of Mrs. Luther Mauney of Charleston S. C., has been in the service since August. He was first sent to Camp Jackson and from there to Atlantic City. His address is Pvt. James S. Mauney, 20th. T. S. S. Group “A” Atlantic City, X. J. VICTORY TAX TAKEN OUT OF PAY SATURDAY Mon*»y Earned In December Affected By First Nick. Washington, Dec. 30.—T'he treasury, it was learned authorit atively today, has ruled that the new victory tax must he with held from all wages and salaries paid in January, even though part or all of the money was earned this month. In other word*, a man paid monthly on the first of the month will find a victory tax nick taken out of hi* pay en velope thi* Friday, despite the fact that he worked for the money in December. The same is true of all salaries (paid on Friday. The treasury ruling was based on the language of the law which says “there shall be levied, col lected and paid for each taxable year beginning after Dec. 31, 1942, a victory tax of 5 per cent. Upon the victory tax net income of every individual. INCOME FOR 1943 Wages and salaries received in 1943 are to lie considered “in come” for 1943 under the ruling, regardless of the period in which they were earned. Two members of the senate fi nance committee, active in the drafting oi the new tax bill, de clared the ruling ran counter to congressional intent. It was the intention of cong ress, I know, to base the tax on 194," earnings," said Senator Byrd (D-Va.). I’d he in favor of clarifying it, and applying the six to income earned in the next year. Suppose a man was paid his income on a quarterly basis, and received a quarter's income next month ’’ Senator Danaher (R-Conn.,) said that was “no doubt" that the act provides that the victory i tax withholding deduction from salaries should apply to income I commencing Jan. 1. 1943. ION INCOME RECEIVED "The apparent incongruity be tween the act and the treasury’s ! ruling which calls for a dedue : tion on income received, even : may be justified only on grounds 1 though not earned, in January, of experdiency,” he said. “First, the computation of tens of millions of wage earners would create enormous bookkeeping difficulties. "Second, the withholding tax, in part at least, represents an approximation which will be av eraged out over a year’s time. “And again, most wage earners are on a cash basis anyhow and at the end of the life of the tax, will receive the advantage of no withholding from moneys earned before the expiration of the act.” BURIAL AT BETHLEHEM Mrs. J. C. Hoyle, one of Cherryville’s most prominent and loved women, passed away at 3 o’clock Tuesday morning from a heart attack. Mrs. Hoyle had been in declining health for sev eral years.
