Named Transfer Tax Attorney Earl W. tfabor, local attorney, was named transfer tax attorney of Wayne County on a fee basis, on Monday, Rollin Browne, presi dent of the S tate Tax Commission, ¡•mnounced. In “ Commandos” By amazing ‘‘accidental fore sight” on the p a r t of a Hollywood movie producer, theatre audiences are seeing counterparts of Can ada’s shock troops who participat ed in the daring raid on Dieppe, going through their actual (mane uvers in a feature film. » The picture- is “Commandos Strike at Dawn’' which was made on location a t Vancouver Island, -B-ritish-Golumbia. - P a r t of the film, which stars Paul Muni, is devoted to the- pictur- ization of a Commando raid on the coast of Norway— and the sol diers, playing the Commandos are the training units of the same shock troops which descended on Dieppe! Appearing in major support of Muni are Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Lillian Gish, Anna Lee, Robert C tote and Elizabeth Fraser. Irwin Shaw wrote the screen play for “Coifimandos Strike at . Dawn”, which is based on the Cosmopolitan Magazine story by O. S. Forester.

Tin Salvage Pickup Set For March 27 The promised tin pickup has been set in Palm y ra for Saturday, March 27, according to Alvin La Rue, salvage committee chairman. In order to bo sure of having the tin out early enough, everyone is requested to h a v e 'it at the curb, in boxes or sacks, /sometime F ri day night. Be sure all cans are prepared in the requested manner: ends cut out, can washed and pa per removed, and crushed flat. If your cans are not so prepared they cannot be used. If those living in the country wish to cooperate with the tin sal vage plan, they are requested to bring the tin cans to Palmyra, in a box or sack, and set inside the village hall, sometime during the week of March 21. A rural pickup of tin cans at this time is impos sible. T^x Examiners Are * Appointed To Temporary Stations Rollin Browne, President of the State Tax Commissiion, today an nounced the assignment of 75 State income tax examiners of the Income * Tax Bureau’s Albany of fice, to temporary stations in lo calities throughout the State dur ing March .for the purpose .of help ing taxpayers to make out their returns for 1942, due April 15. He said the 75 examiners were, in ad dition, to those in ‘district offices hnd that the field staff would be further augmented in April. ‘'M any taxpayers\“ prefer to make out their state returns at the same time ‘they work on their Fedex-al returns, even though they do not plan to file them at the same\ time,” Commissioner Browne said. “We intend to offer them ev ery assistance in this task.” - He said he was especially anx ious to provide taxpayers with full information regarding 1943 amendments, only recently enacted upon Governor Dewey’s recom mendation, to “humanize” the' State income tax law. These amendments provide for payment of the tax in quarterly install ments; for a $400 exemption for dependents over 18 years of ago who are still attending school or college; for deduction of life in surance premiums up to $150, and for dijduction of unusual medical expenses, in excess of five per cent of net income if not compensated for by insurance or otherwise. Ex am iners will explain the new bene fits and their application. Commissioner Browne said ex aminers would be stationed for varying periods of time in indus trial plants throughout the State for the convenience of w a r work ers, wherever those arrangements are possible. He added that, if it is necessary, provisions will be made for “overtime” hours so that services of the examiners will be available to all who w ant assis- 'tance. Red Cross War Fund D rive Gets G o o d S tart In Palm y ra Last Saturday afternoon at the end o f th e first week of the drive about seventy-five of the hundred' Volunteer workers who had been out making collections during the week turned in their money and reports to Mrs. C. L. Johnson, vice- chairman of the committee. Thj sum collected amounted to' $2,700, which is about sixty per cent of the quota,of $4,G90.00 and is quite a step towards our goal, BUT a lot of hard work remains to be done in the next few 4days if Pal myra is to> go over the.top. How ever, each and every one connected Committee To Survey Labor Supply Chosen Twenty-two canners, farm ers and business men, met in Sodus last Thursday to map out a~joint drive to locate all available help in the county. To direct this sur vey a steering committee was ap pointed composed of -Morton Adams, chairman and Peter Naeye of Marion representing canners and Marion Johnson, Williamson, M. E. Buckman, Sodus and Horace Putnam, Wayne Center represent ing farmers. State officials met with the group and outlined what is being done all over New York. They said that this was the frst joint .meeting- _of=.canners and farm ers “Because of greatly increased employment during the past year, wo expect that many will bo filing Slate income tax returns for the first lime in this collection period,” the new head of the Tax Commis sioner said. “Many or those will be women taxpayers. We urge that all of these persons filing for the first time, as well as others who m ay be in doubt as to some entry on their return, take full ad vantage of the services of the ex am iners.” There is no change in filing re quirements from those of a year ago, i t was pointed out. Single per sons who had net income of $1,000' or more in 1942; married couples who had net income of $2,500 or more, or anyone whose gross in come was $5,000’“or 'more, must file a return for 1942 by next April 15. The 25 per cent reduc tion of the tax is continued this year. to discuss their mutual labor prob lem. _____ A complete survey is intended to locate all part time and full time help for work in canning factories' and for harvesting and weeding or; farms. With food such an im portant part of the w ar effort and labor scarce it is feared th a t a lack of help may prove a serious h.nderance in the production and preservation of fruit and vegeta bles. According to Joseph King of the U. S. Employment Service and Thomas -A tterbury Labor repre sentative for canners the survey is expected, to uncover sources of labor hitherto unknown. They state that in many areas an ap. preciable amount of help in t' canning factory are there .because they feel it is one method in which they may contribute to the w ar effort. 6 A meeting is planned fpr the 1(1 ea r future at the home ofjulian T'-ddy, Williamson, with farm placement supervisor with the U. S E.S. to complete plans for this suivey. Lack Of Grease And Fats Slowing War Effort In a communique from the O.P. M.t chairman LaRue o_f_thc Sal vage committee has been inform ed th a t fats and grease are criti cally needed for the production of T.N.T.- explosives. If you are. in terested in having Tokyo really bombed you are requested to take your fats (a pound or more) to any of the local markets, from where it will be sent _ta munition factories and thence reshipped to Tokyo and Berlin by sea and air. Old silk and nylon stockings are also continually needed for the manufacture of powder bags for ■the firing of the Navy’s guns. with the drive is confident of its success and of the response that the people- of Palmyra will make to this vital appeal for the safety and comfort of our fighting men in all parts of the world. Wo aro sure that Palmyra will meet its quota for the Red Cross just as willingly and cheerfully as it does everything else connected with the war effort. The Red Cross is an auxiliary of our armed forces and its scope ol assistance is wide and varied. The work it does vitally affects the health and morale of our arm ed forces, and this is a vital fac tor, for the American soldier is a lover of his home. The more he gets around the world the more he realizes the value of home. Dur ing the time ho is unable to look after his dependents, it is a great satisfaction to know there is a friendly and efficient agency ready to step in either at home or in the service. Keep these things in mind and give generously. If you feel that your first donation was not enough, give some more and help to pass the quota. Remember that every boy in the\ service from Pal myra or from any other part of the country, wherever he may be, is constantly in touch with the Red Cross, and the Red Cross de- ppnds on your contributions to carry on its worldwide services. Canvassers may leave their col lections at the S. E. Braman Agency office. The first district repprted as over the top in the drivo is* Wol cott which realized its quota of $1,920 in a rccord drive of less than a week'. The Wolcott cam paign was virtually completed by Saturday. Also making a splendid early showing is Red Creek which had obtained §0 per cent of its quota of $1,090, according to a report received Tuesday.

Other communities have un doubtedly made substantial stfides in their campaign, George L. Abbott, Palmyra, County Red Cross War Fund chairman, re ports, but up until Tuesday only scattered returns had been receiv ed. Never before hns the Red Cross had such great need for assistance to back up its humanitarian pro gram. The people are dem onstrat ing that they want to support this great enterprise, and it is our job to see that everyone is given the chance. We w&nt the final result oi this drive to show Wayne Coun ty servicemen in unmistakable terms just where the folk& back home stand when it comes to sup porting this great organization that renders them such invaluablo comfort and aid.
