How To Get To The Golf Course...
Last Sunday found a number of gtolfers riding a wag
on drawn by mules to the golf course. They all had a
fine time and agreed that it would be done again. Some
even wanted to put the wagon on for two trips a week.
But al of that did not solve the transportation problem as
far as tb? golf course is concerned.
It took the mules about fifty minutes to get there and
the same time to come back. Now that is not bad and
can be done once or twice a week if enough fellows will
agree to be on hand each time for the trip. Here’s the
trouble. In the spring and in the summer a fellow likes
to run out to the course for a quick, nine holes or for an
hour or two. The mule team does not allow this. It will
get you there and bring you back if you have enough
time'but you have to have time. Under thiyj system
there can’t be short golf trips
We are 100 percent in favor of the mule team, but
we do wish that something could be worked out so that
a fellow could leave his place of business in the summer
about five o’clock and get in nine holes before dark.
Right off the bat we do not have the answer, but may
be someone will think of solmething.

Income Tax
i ,
! PERSONAL EXEMPTION
! Every individual is allowed a
credit against his net income ;
• which varies with his domestic
! status, that is, whether he is (a)
| a single person, (b) a married
person living with husband or
! wife, or (c) a head of family, j
This credit is known as personal
exemption, and is shown on,
line 21 of the return Form 1040. j
The amount of the personal ex-j
emption also varies depending,
upon the period during which j
the taxpayer occupied the parti-•
cular exemption status.
The: personal exemption for a|
single perslcn is SSOO for the
year; for a married person liv
ing with husband or wife, sl,-
200; and for a “head of family,’’!
I $1,200. (Personal exemption as I
' head of a family has no effect
j on liability to file a return.) For
! Federal income tax purposes,
j widows, widowers, divorcees,
, and married persons separated
Jby mutual consent, as well as
1 married, are classed as single
j persons.
I A head of family is defined as|
I “an individual who actually sup
ports and maintains in one I
, household one or more indivi
duals wh)o are closely connected
with him by blood relationship,
: relationship by marriage or by ]
adoption, and whose right to ex- j
I ercise family control and provide,
| for those dependent individuals i
! is based upon some mloral or le- \
! gal obligation.” A single person,*
,or a married person not living
j with husband or wife, may,
, therefore, enjoy a head of family
i exemption under certain cond'i
, tions.
Taxpayers using a Simplified i
Return (which is permitted if
| the gross intjeme for the year is
$3,000 or less and derived solely •
from earnings from employment '
and, or from dividends, interest • ‘
I’ I ]
j and annuities) obtain personal ,
i exemption based on their status |
! 1 l
l as of July 1 of the year. Thus, a |
i taxpayer married and living
! with husband or wife on July 1 ‘ j
is entitled flo $1,200 personal ex-1
emption on Form 1040A; if he l
I were a widower on July 1, his .
his exemption would be SSOO, ir
i respective of the date on which
he became a widower. The a
mount of the exemption is not
deductible from the income but \
is reflected in the am|cunt of tax J
shown in ths table on the re- 2
verse side of the form. r
Taxpayers using return Form t
1040 obtain personal exemption c
proportionate with the number j
of months during which the par- (
ticular status is held. Thus, for ;
a person who married rn July
1, (who was not a head of a fam
ily prior to his marriage) the {
personal exemption would be
SBSO ($250 for the six months as -
a single man, plus S6OO for the *
six months as a married man). J
In this :xample it is assumed |
that the Wife has no income •
| «
Married perrjens may, howev- •
er, file joint returns, even tho-'<
, ugh one has no income, and by | ■
, filing a joint return a couple,!
married during the year may|!

to the exemption to which they
would be entitled for the period '

Eleven Items
Added To OPA
!
Ration List
i
i
WASHINGTON, January 23.
Food Administrator Claude Wic
* kard has added 11 general items
to the list of foods expected to
be rationed, it was disclosed as
the Office of Price Administra
tion began cracking down on a
growing black market in meats.
| At the same time, Representa
-1 tive Edwin A. Hall, R„ N. Y„
introduced a bill designed to
prevent the OPA from taking up
ration cards as a means of pun
ishing any violators of OPA re
gulations. His action followed
reports that OPA officials in
New York would withdraw food
ration cards of persons violating
the pleasure driving ban.
Wickard’s order authorizes the:
OPA to ration —“as necessary”—
condensed and evaporated milk,
jellies, jams, preserves, fruit but'-
l ters, pickles, relishes, food pro
! ducts containing meat, and pro
, cessed fish and shellfish. The or
der, designed to “facilitate ad
ministration” of food rationing,
ing, retans wth Wckard the au
thority to advise OPA when ra
] tioning of these added items be
i comes necessary.
The order was net announced
publicly. First intimation was
given in the Federal Register, a
government organ for promul
-1 gating orders and regulations. j
! Officials explained that the|
i omission of an announcement
! was an oversight and was not in- j
: tended to hide from the public
! the truth of the food situation, j
j They said the order was a short- j
j cut to clear the way for ration- j
ing speedily when it becomes
j necessary.
The drive to wipe out black
j markets took the form of crimi
nal action against certain pack-|
ers and wholesalers in New*

are being made for organization

high schools. Spencer’s talk con
firmed the previously expressed
opinion of R. B. Griffin that
much Victory Corps work is al
ready in progress in the Person
schools.
Griffin, who assisted Couch
•with presiding, was one of sev
eral Person School officials who
attended a District Victory
Corps meeting held a few weeks
ago in Durham. At the Roxbcrol
session brief talks were made

sentative and by W. Wallace
Woods, director of the In hrdJu
Woods, director of the Infantile
Paralysis campaign.
and Newark, N. J. Civil action
has been taken against meat
dealers in Albany, N. Y., and
Hamilton, Ohio. The drive will
be nationwide.
OPA officials said civil action
would be taken in all price vio
lation cases f it was not legally
possibe to proceed on a criminal
basis.
The additional items all are 1
commodities on which the sup
ply is less than the demand. Of
ficials said they would be ration
ed as “the supply and the de
mand situation make it' neces
sary.”
Evaporated and condensed
milk certainly will n|ct be on the
first ration list to be issued, they
said. They estimated, however,
that the supply for civilians this
year will be about' 10,000,000
cases short of demands.
Meanwhile, Wickard appealed
to housewives not to become
alarmed because grocers run
short of canned fruits, vegetables
and juices before rationing
starts. He asked them not to buy
beyond current needs. |
A War Production Board or- 1
der allocating supplies of can-!
ned goods to retailers is intend- ]
ed to assure each grocer that' he
will receive approximately 1-
12th its his annual supply each
month.
