The praises which Scouts so justly have de served for theiy countless services to their country only spur them on to greater endeavor. It is hard to see how War Bonds and Stamps could be sold, or vital materials salvaged, or all the varied forms of printed infor mation distributed, without the untiring help of these public ser vants. But there are higher serv ices ahead. Almost 400,000 Scouts are 15 years old or older; they may change ranks to the armed terial for the Navy, the Coast Guard and the Merchant Marine. The “Toughen Up! Buckle Downl A n d . carry on to Victory” theme of Scouting until the war ends will save lives through consum mate training—and ill make bet- te i citizens \in the pi’ocZss. • Scouting is training for- a way of life, the kind of life America chooses to lead, the kind for which her sons are fighting across' the seas. On those fronts, and on the front at home, the qualities which Scouting stands for—courage and character, assure us of Victory and a lasting peace.

Income Tax Filing Work ------ The Federal Trefisury is pffer- ing again this year to people whose 1942 income was $3,000 or less, a simplified income ta x form which may bo filled out in five minutes or less. This is known as Form 1040A. It may be used by any taxpayer whose $3,000-or-less income cgrne wholly from wages I or* salary, dividends, interest- or, 1 annuities. Last year when this thnc-saver was first introduced,' over 10,000,- 000 individual income tax returns were filed on it. Puop.^w h o had previously spent hour« working over the regular report-form were enthusiastic about tho . ease and speed with which they could now complete their annual income tax chore. This year, with aa estimated twelye million new taxpayers fil ing for the f ir s t time, tho Bureau of Internal Revenue confidently expects that nearly tw enty mil lion taxpayers will benefit from this short-cut way, saving in the aggregate millions of hours of time and innumerable headaches. Incidently, this simplified Form 1040-A is also a boon to the In ternal Revenue Bureau, fo r it greatly reduces the am ount of time previously spent w ith so many millions of taxpayers in answering questions and helping them make out their returns. A glance at the picture shows how quick and simple Form 1040- A makes this income tax filing', job. There are only G things for Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer to do; write down their names, address and occupation, the nam es of j their dependents, the am o u n t of j income received during the year, tho.-.amgunt of deduction allowed on account of dependents; check 1st.

There will be a collection in Majtch. The collection has been delayed as it takes a lot of.flattened tin cans to. make a carload, which is necessary for shipment. Do your part, save all you have'. Also if you have not already brought your silk stocking to the variousnatores irt town, please do so shortly.

Joseph D Patterson, manager' of the Rochester District OPA office, said this was \due to the unpre cedented demand for fuel oil by our armies and allies.” Class 2 coupons to large users for same period were reduced to 80 gallons each. Period 4 began Sunday and runs to March 23. Period 5 will sta r t1March “ 16 and run to Sept ember 30. Householders whose ration for a year is 200 gallons or less, will in the future be issued coupons for .their exact amount, which will be redeemable any time during the rationing year starting Oct- ober 1. This will do away with heating periods for the smaller users. Palmyra Lions Club Hears About Local Defense A t a recent meeting of life Pal myra Lions Club, Robert M. Waples gave a very interesting and instructive talk on Local Civil ian Defense. Mr. Waples, who lias^ devoted a great deal of tim e to this work, stated that a greut many more people/ard“ needed to assist' in our Local Civilian De fense set-up and that anyone who would like to hel]£ in this work could apply at the office of Civil ian Defense on Market Street.

Rut for most people in tho $3,000- and-under bracket, Form 1040-A is not only a time saver, but a money saver, too. In spito of the fact th a t during the last two years the Internal Revenue Bureau has increased its personnel, they will undoubt edly be rushed and crowdod, as March 15th approaches, -by tho great increase in taxpayers nes- essitated by wartime high employ ment and wartime low ta x exemp tions. So people who file early will be doing themsolveS a favor, as well as making a real contribu tion to tho smooth w orking of tho nation’s tax machinory.
