TOWN AND FARM IN WARTIME (Continued from Page 1) word around the world to our lighting men and to our enemies also, that once again we have reached and surpassed a war loan goal. Some Consumer Notes —Full employment of civilians in the first quarter of 1944, according to WPB’S Office of Civilian Requirements, result in $281,100,000 being spent in that three months period for women for street dresses, $167,800,000 paid out by men for suits and $108,500,000 for men’s shirts. Women bought 23,500,000 house dresses while men invested in 4,500,000 suits, 24,500,000 business shirts, 20,500,000 work shirts and 4,000,000 flannel shirts. Those house dresses averaged $10.03 each in price while the men’s suits cost an average of $37.57 a piece. Self rationing of fly screen has been requested of all dealers by WPB. Razor blade production in the current quarter is estimated as adequate to meet requiremnts in the opinion of the Safety Razor and Razor Blade Industry Advisory Committee of WPB. DECLARATIONS TO BE FILED WITH TREASURY DEPT. BY JANUARY 15TH Will H. Smith, Collector of Internal Revenue for the District of Indiana, today reminded individual income taxpayers that Congress has changed from Dec. 15th, 1944, to Jan. Isth, 1945, the final date for filing Declarations of Estimated Income Tax, either original, as in the case of farmers, or amended, and paying of installments of estimated tax for the calendar year 1944. Among the taxpayers affected by this change in dates are: farmers who exercised their right to defer filing declarations last April 15th; others who have already filed 1944 declarations but desire to change their estimates by filing amended declarations; all persons who owe the final installment of 1944 estimated tax. If a taxpayer who would otherwise be required to file an original or amended Declaration of Estimated Tax by Jan. 15th, 1945, files his annual income tax return for 1944 (on form 1040) and pays all tax due by Jan. 15th, his return will serve as both a return and declaration and he need not file the 1944 declaration. Also, if a taxpayer files his final 1944 return (on form 1040) and pays the tax due on it by Jan. 15th, he need not pay the final installment which otherwise would be due on his estimated tax. A bill from the collector for the final installment of 1944 estimated tax may be ignored by a taxpayer who files his annual return (on Form 1040) and pays the tax due on it by Jan. 15th. These changes will enable a taxpayer, if he desires to do so, to wind up all of his 1944 income tax obligations by Jan. 15th, but it does not affect the filing of his 1945 declaration which will be due March 15th. Also, taxpayers who do not file their final 1944 returns by Jan. 15th must do so by March 15th. O. E. S. TO HOLD REGULAR MEETING AND INITIATION TUESDAY Members of the Order of the Eastern Star will meet at the hall on Tuesday evening, Dec. 26th, at 7:30, for their regular meeting and initiation. A committee will serve refreshments following the meeting.
