Meet Mrs. Petrov, citizen of the Soviet Union.- When the Nazi Panzer Divisions approached the small Petrov farm in the Ukraine, she knew what to do. |The wheat, so near to harvest time, went up in j flames. The potatoes, stored in the cellar, were soaked with kerosene. The jars of fruits and [preserves were smashed, and the cow, which 'had given her children so many quarts of pre- ; cious milk, was shot. After piling her two young children, a few blan kets and some food on the farm cart, Mrs. Petrov did one more thing. She went back to the house where she and her husband had been so happy '« : . where they had worked so hard to make a home for their family—and applied the torch. Now, everybody in this country knows that Americans are as patriotic—as capable of sacri fice—as grimly determined to beat Hitler as are the Russians or anybody else on earth. But—by the Lord Harry—do we have to wait till a Nazi tank comes rolling up the street ^before we J>rcn/e it? ^ -— * _ We aren’t being asked to burn our homes and destroy everything we own. Please God, we never will be. But we are being asked to join the Payroll Savings Plan and put at least 10% of our earnings into War Bonds! We’re being asked—not to/c/— to loan money—not g/ve it! And to loan this money at a good rate of interest and for good reasons! We’re being asked to buy War Bonds to help win the war—to provide a nest egg for the future—to provide peacetime jobs and peace time goods and a generally decent world that the fellows who are doing the fighting can come back to. That’s our job. And it’s a job that won’t be done until every mother’s son of us is buying bonds until it hurts. There are, right now, still people who ought to be buying War Bonds through the Payroll Savings Plan—and aren’t. Right now, while some of the people in the Payroll Savings Plan are setting aside more than 10%—a lot of others are investing less. Let’s change that situation—quick. If you aren’t in the Payroll Savings Plan—sign up tomorrow^ If you’re already in, but haven’t hit 10% yet— raise your sights. And if you can put in more— <jo it. What’s Mrs. Petrov got that we haven’t? Nothing! Let’s prove it! WHAT YOU SHOULD DOiV If you are ... ^ 1. Already investing 10% of your pay in War Bonds through the Payroll Savings Plan—boost that 10% if you can. 2. Working in a plant where the Plan is installed, but haven’t signed up yet—sign up tomorrow. 3. Working in a plant where the Payroll Savings Plan hasn’t been installed, talk to your union head, fore man or plant manager—and see if it can’t be installed right away. The local bank will be glad to help. 4. Unable to get in on the Payroll Savings Plan for any reason, go to your local bank or wherever bonds are sold. They will be glad to help you start a Plan of your own. The medical problem of many cities which have grown rapidly due to war industries, is pretty much like the problem of the growing boy who spent his summer doing farm work— when he tried to put on his old school suit in the fall, he found he couldn’t get into it. With the astounding Kaiser ship yards alone adding tens of thousands to Portland’s population, not to men tion other war industries, < the city found itself facing a growth from something over 300,000 to between 450,000 and 540,000 persons. Her e 'was a perfect set-up for waste and experimening in medical facilities. Following a conference wth Edgar F. Kaiser, the Oregon War Emergency Health Committee, organized under the leadership of the Oreogn State Medical society, set a record in working out a plan to meet this situation. It immediately se cured the cooperation of doctors, nurses, public health services and hospitals. Instead of building expensive new facilities, it found thzt the 1,650 beds of its principal hospitals could be expanded by 307 beds, with little construction cost. With a shortage of nurses, doctors and all manner of new equipment due to war demands, the utilization of existing buifclinjrs, heating plants, personnel and equp- ment, would thus requre a minimum of additional outlay. If the 307 beds are not enough for the proportionate increase in population, plans are ready for addiqg a total of 520 beds. Thus has the Oregon War Emer gency Health Committee, in coopera tion with industry, and through in telligent utilization and expansion of existing resources, met the health needs of an abnormal war industry , population. Portland has set an ex ample for medical care that could well be followed by other communi ties. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Abrams, of Georgetown, spent the holidays with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Abrams, Sr. and Mr. and M rs - Barnes. WELLS THEATER THURSDAY SCATTERGOOD SURVIVES A MURDER with Guy Kibbee “Sports” and “Army Chaplain Matinee 9c-25c Night 9c-30c (No. 1 of a Series) Th e federal income tax is, as the name implies a tax levied upon in comes, and it is payable in relation to the amount of income. Income, for Federal income tax purposes, means in general any compensation for one's services, whether the com pensation be in money or in goods or other services; it includes also the net value received for the product of one’s labor, as farm produce in the case of a farmer; income from in vestments; profit from business op erations; and other gains from sales and exchanges of goods and property. Certain limited categories of income are, however, tax exempt, and to the extent of such exemption are exclud ed in computing the tax. Because of exemptions from the tax given to persons having less than certain stated amounts of income, as well as because of various deductions and credits allowable ,only a small proportion of the number of persons receiving income have until recently been subject to the tax. Thus, of the estimated 56 million persons in this country who received' income n one form or another during the calendar yea r 1941, only some 26 million per sons were required to file Federal in come tax returns for that year, while of these same 26 million, more than 9 million were not ■ taxable due to credits and deductions allowable. As a result of the lowering of ex emptions, many more persons are now subject to the Federal income tax foan before, and for the calendar year 1942 it is estimated that more than 36 million persons will file Fed eral income tax returns. To the larKe number of persons now subject to the Federal income tax, who have never reported income before for Federal tax purposes, an understand ing of the law and applicable regula tions is of prime importance. An income tax return is a declara tion on the part of the taxpayer of his total taxable income for the year, together with the various deductions exemptions, and credits to which he is entitled. It is in reliance upon vol untary disclosures, and the integrity of taxpayers generally, that the cost of administration of the income tax can be kept at a minimum. Though the return is a voluntary statement, any person who willfully makes a re turn which he does not believe to'be true and correct in every material matter is subject to the penalties provided by law. The first requirement of the law is the filing of an appropriate return. For individuals generally, this must be done by March 15 followii^j the end of the calendar year. The return must be filed with the appropriate Collector of Internal Revenue for the district in which is located the legal residence or principal place of busi ness of the person making the re turn. Under the present law every single person, and every married person not living with husband or wife, having a total income (earnings, together with other income) of $500 o r more, and married persons living with husband or wife throughout the taxable year, who have a n aggregate income (total earnings of both husband and wife, together with other income) of *1,- 200 or more, regardless of the a- mount of net income, must file a re turn.

W. E. Mallalieu, General Man ager of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, observes that few p'eb- ple realize the potentially deadly hazard of gasoline. Gasoline vapors in a room can be just as explosive as they are in the cylinders of an au tomobile engine. One pint of gaso line fully vaporized will render 200 cubic feet of air flammable and ex plosive and quite capable of wreck ing walls that may confine it. People who store gasoline in make shift contaniers are practically in viting disaster. Such methods are particularly hazardous in basements. Containers are seldom tight. Gaso line. vapor can readily be ignited from the furnace. The seriousness of this hazard can be recognized by the fact that storage of gasoline without express permission is prohibited by many standard fire insurance poli cies. Even the so-called “safety can” is usually far from safe. Few of these containers a re new and some of them may contain a small amount of water which will eventual ly produce a rust hole, thus permit ting a slow leakage of the gasoline. This may not be noticed until a dan gerous accumulation of vapor has re sulted. Perhaps the greatest danger of life is involved when the hoarder pours the gas into his car. It is practically impossible to avoid spilling a little and on invisible spark from static electricity is all that is needed to produce maiming or death. Hoarding gasoline is a foolhardy policy. Sooner or later it will re sult in tragedy to the person who so defies common-sense laws that are seeking to bring this country through the war without a breakdown in mo tor transportation.
