On the larger properties it is not so important for usually those who invest many thousands of dollars in farms or residences can afford it and do not have to go heavily in debt.

Mr. Archbold has done an excellent 1 Job, worked hard and continuously tried to serve the farm areas of this community.

It wax a busy afternoon just before Christmas in 1905 and holiday letters and packages were pouring in to the post office in Copenhagen. Bins; Holboell. postal clerk, expertly handled th- mail, lovingly sorted it and sent it on to its happy destination Like ail Danes he knew the Andeisen tales, and he thrilled to the task of spreading joy to boys and girls and grownups in his beloved Denmark. Ax ■ lie worked he pondered on an idea which was destined for a great future. Why. he thought, wouldn't it be a good idea if each letter or package carried another penny stamp the sale of which would swell a fund to build hospitals for children. There are so many children, he mused, and so many who are ill It would cost each giver so little to share in giving this great gift to those sad tittle people. Everybody could help The stamps could ba bright and cheery and everyone who bought them or who received them on their Christmas mall would be made happier. H*- liked the thought and he smiled as he worked. He just had to tell someone and so the word got around and before long the post office hummed with talk about tie- Christmas stamps. The clerks could not resist telling the stamp customers and with so many people hearing about it something was bound to happen. The Idea was soon presented to King Christian who immedloUly warmed to the thought. Not only should Hoi booH's Idea be tried but the King himself would authorise the Seal and It should bear the likenesa of his beloved Queen Mk/ j- , '■ * ' ■' ’St.

British Holy Land Plan Is Rejected Arab Groups Reject British Proposal Jerusalem. Dec. 11 —(VPl—The supreme Arab Palestinian council -issued a surprise announcement ! today rejecting the British plan for settlement of the Holy Laud controversy by a joint AngloAmerican inquiry commission. Speaking for all major Arab factions in Palestine, -the council repudiated In advance any decisions which might be taken by the American and British InVestlI gators. The Arab group declared that ' its followers would refuse to accept the immigration of a single Jew Into Palertine, asserting that then- was no further justification for the flight of Jews from Europe since the Nazi-Fascist systems have been wiped out. Announcement of the Arab move wax made in Cairo, where the supreme council has lieen debating the official Arab attitude toward the British plan. Hpc-kesfnen for the powerful Arab league, representing all sev- • n Arab rtxtes in the inldlle east, earlier had indicated willingness to cooperate with the commission in Its investigation of the Palestine question. The Zionist executive committee in Jerusalem, meanwhile, conferred secretly on the overall situation and informed quarters said the group was considering a civil disobedience campaign if Britain refused to permit unrestricted immigration into the Holy Land.

50 Million Io File Income Tax Returns Forms To Be Filed After First Os Year By Sandor S. Klein Washington. Dec. H — (VPI — Don’t look now. but that Income tax man ie getting ready to peek , over your shoulder again Thia is byway of reminding you that ev»n though the treasury has Item dipping into your pay en velope each week for taxes, you've' I still got a form or two to All out after the first of the year. The interhal revenue bureau figures that about 5ff.000.000 returns will be filed this year. Paying taxes, som<* now-forgot- ' ten statesman once said, is a duty of citizenship So I went down to the internal revenu hnreau to find out what the 1»4« version of this "duty" wax like. Thia is what I learned: Some time between Jan. 1 and March 11. you're going to have Io till out a form showing how much taxes you should hav* paid on your 1945 income. If It shows that you remployer withheld too much iu tax#*, you can ash for a refund. If the amount withheld wasn't enough, you've got to pay the difference. Incidentally, the forms you'll busing will not be based on the 1941 tax law. That law reduces the j amount of taxes you're going to ' pay next year. These forms apply ' only to what you earned In 1145.' Last March 11. a lot of us had | to fill out a form estimating thamount of our 1945 taxes. If It showed we would have to pay more than the amount being withheld by our employers, we had to pay up the difference In four quarterly Installm nts. Well, just as a reminder, the fourth installment is due not later than Jan. 15. 1949. If you now know that the estimate you made last March Is far off the beam, you've got to straight-1 en things out by not later than next Jan 15. You have your choice Os making a new amended estimate or filing by Jan. 15 the regular return which ' normally would be due on .March 15. If it happens that you under- 1 estimated the amount of taxes by i more than 20 percent, and you wait until March 15 to correct this. | you are going to have to pay a six percent penalty on the amount you were deficient. Farmers were excused from making an -xtimate last March. They must either make an estimate of, their 1945 taxes by Jan. 15. however. or make their regular return, on that date. If they choose to make | only an estimate Jan. 15, they j must pay the taxes by March 15 ’ So far as the tax forma are concerned, there's little change from 1945 If your pay was less than 55.009. | the simplest way to file your return is to use the withholding tax r cel pt which your employer must provide by not Inter than Jan. 31. Hut rod can’t use that receipt If you received dividends of more than RIOO or If any of your Income was from rents or the storit market A few slight changes have been made In this form. In 1945. you had to list the names of all those entitled to exemptions—your own and your wife and children. This year, you jitst list,your children. The internal r-renue bureau will automatically figure you and your wife ax exemptions There lx another form you can Uxe. If your Income was 55.0 M or lesx, you fill out only part of the form and use a table on the back to figure out your tax. The table lx based oh a flat 10 percent allowance for deductions such as Interest. medical costs, contributions

and tuxex If you think your deductions ier* mory than iff iokeat. or if you earned mor* than >5,009, you should fill out the entire forth but yon can't use the tabla to eom pule yonr tai. o Jap Sub Leader May Not Give Testimony May Not Be Called In McVay's Trial The navy has not yet decided whether it will call the Japanese submarine commander who claims bo sank the cruiser Indianapolis to testify in the court martial of Capt. Charles V. McVay 111, commander of the ship. Capt Thomas J. Ryan. Jr. navy prosecutor, said today he spent four hours yesb rday with Cmdr. Ike Hashimoto, commander of the submarine l-SS, to determine hie credibility and competence ag a witness." "I have not yet had a chance to -xamine the records of the interview to determine whether or not he will be celled to the witness stand." Ryan told newsmen The navy announced last we-k that Hashimoto was being flown here to testify at McVay’s trial. McVay Is charged with "neglig ence and Itfofficiency In the sinking of the Indianapolis in the Phlltpnln-s sea July M with the loss of 590 officers and men. Ryan said Hashimoto is be t held at the navy yard whe - trial is In progress His sUU « “for all practical purposes" that of a prisoner of war, he said Ryan said that there were "other points Involved" In whether Hashimoto would testify. He would not elaborate. Some high-ranking navy officers have objected to hnving the Japanese officer testify against McVay. Ryan said Hashimoto definitely would not b-* called to testify today. It may take several days, he aaid, to determine whether or not the submarine actually sank the Indianapolis. Meanwhile. survivors of the 111-starred cruiser have been called to testify In the trial. McVay bad been warned that enemy submarines might be encountered before the ship weighed anchor at Guam McVay has iteen charged by the navy with "ioefßciency" in allowing the ship to follow a straight course. Ho also Is charged wkh “neglig neo" in failing to give prompt abandon ship orders before the cruiser went down Survivors have agreed that the ship began following a straight course after 5 p. m. on July 29. Some have assorted that McVay gave abandon ship orders five minutes before the ship went down but that they could not be trattfmitted as the communications equipment was disrupted by ths explosions.
