Army Gives Rules Or
Gifts To Prisoners
Interned By Enemy
Those who wish to send gifts to
members of their families who are
officially recognized prisoners of war
of enemy governments or interned
civilians in enemy-occupied territory,
must comply with a number of regu
lations which have been issued by the
War Department, according to an an
nouncement made at headquarters,
Fourth Service Command.
Before a package may be sent to
anyone in the above group a label
must be issued from the respective
government of the prisoner of war to
the next of kin designated by the
prisoner. These labels may be trans
ferred, if so desired, by the recipient
to someone else who wishes to send a
gift to the prisoner. Du;j'ii 'ate
labels will be sent without request
from the Provost Marshal GeneralV'
office to the designated next of kin
of the officially recognized prisoner
of war. One label, properly filled in
and signed by the sender, must be
placed on the wrapper.
Only one package may be sent to
the same prisoner in a 60-day period
and the contents of each package
must be shown on a list attached, a
Post Office Department Customs De
claration if one is available; other
wise, just a piece of paper attached.
Facilities are not available for
transporting packages to prisoners in
Japan and Japanese controlled terri
tory at this time, but as soon as
transportation is available to the
Orient labels will be issued to the
next of kin of prisoners and civilians
interned in those countries.
All packages will be sent postage

apparel, tobacco, toilet articles, sports
and games, wooden toys for children
and numerous others, provided that
none of them are made of metal or

to the regulations.

Income Tax News
Every individual is allowed a credit
against his net income which varies
with his domestic sitatus, that is,
whether he is (a) a single person,
(b) a married person living with
husband or wife, or (c) a head of
family. This credit is known as per
sonal exemption, and is shown on line'
21 of the return Form 1040. The!
amount of the personal exemption
also varies depending upon the per
iod during which the taxpayer occu
pied the particular exemption status.
The personal exemption for a single
person is $500 for the year; for a
married person living with husband
or wife, $1,200; and for a "head of
iamny," $i,zuu. (1'ersonal exemp
First bridge to be built across the Perquimans River certainly required
no priorities or government permission to build. The bridge was of the Pon
toon type, but pontoons to Engineer Perry meant anything available and
apparently the most plentiful article at hand which would serve the purpose
was whiskey barrels. a
At any rate, the first bridgedkross the Perquimans and one of the first
large bridges in North Carolina as a simple plank road supported by ap
proximately 120 whiskey barrels. , This bridge is shown in th top picture.
Replacing the whiskey barrel bridge, which lasted until 1885, was a
more modern structure boasting a steel span and approaches built up on
wooden pilings, as shown in the middle picture.
The present structure, shown in the bottom picture, is a far cry from
the early whiskey barrel bridge. Built of steel and concrete, It was com
pleted by the N. C. State Highway Commission in 1928. However, bridge
engineers of the Highway Department believe Engineer Perry must have
had something, for his bridge would require no priorities if built today,
while the modern structure could not be started.
from employment and, or from divi
dends, interest and annuities) obtain
personal exemption based on their
status as of Jv.ly 1 of the year. Thus,
a taxpayer married and living with
husband or wife on July 1 is entitled
to $1,000 personal exemption on Form
1040A; if h ewere a widower on July
I 1, his exemption would be $500, irre
spective of the date on which he be
came a widower. The amount 6f the
exemption is not deductible from the
jncome but is reflected in the amount
of tax shown in the table on the re
verse side of the form.
Taxpayers using return Form 1040
obtain personal exemptions propor
tionate with the number of months
during which the particular status is
held. Thus, for e person who, mar
ried on July 1, (who was not a head
of family prior to his marriage) the
personal exemption would be $850
($250 for the six months as a single
man, plus $600 for the six months as
a married man). In this example it
is assumed that the wife has no in
come. Married persons may, however, file
joint returns, even though one has no
income, and by filing a joint return
a couple married during the year may
obtain an exemption amounting to the

sons separated by mutual consent, as
well as persons who have never been
married, are classed as single persons.
A head of family is defined as "an
individual who actually supports and
maintains in one household one or
more individuals who are closely con
nected with him by blood relation
ship, relationship by marriage or by
adoption, and whose right to exercise
family control and provide for those
dependent individuals is based upon
some moral or legal obligation." A
single person, or a married person
not living with husband or wife, may,
therefore, enjoy a head of family
exemption under certain conditions.

A Victory Corps was organized at
the Perquimans County High School
this week, under the direction of F.
T. Johnson, Superintendent.
The instructors for the Corps will
be Mr. Johnson, Miss Edna Turnage,
home economics teacher; G. C. Buck,
vocational teacher, and Don King,
Boy Scout executive of Elizabeth
City.
The Victory Corps is an organiza
tion started in high schools to pre
pare high school youths for active
participation in the war effort,
either for the armed services or for
civilian defense work.
Plans for the local Corps have
not been completely mapped out at
the present time.
tus, plus the amount of their in
dividual exemptions prior to their
marriage. In the example given the
total exemption in a joint return
would be $1,100 ($250 for each spouse
for six months, plus $600 for six
months married status). f,
If a husband and wife living to
gether both have income and file
separate returns on Form 1040, the
personal exemption applicable to a
married person may be taken in the
return of either or divided between i
them in any way as they may agree,
but the total personal exemption tak
en in the two separate returns may
not exceed $1,200.
"That means fight where I come
from!"
"Well, why don't you fight then?"
"Cause I ain't where I come from."
