When the high school reopens next Monday for the spring term the one session plan that it was announced by the town school committee had been decided upon will 20 into effect. The sessions will be fror, sos a. m. to 1.05 p. m. each day. The one-session plan will also apply to the eighth grade, which occupies room at the high school.
 As timepieces are to be advanced an hour next Sunday morning at D. 1 rn., what would ordinarily be 7.05 a. fn., though actually SOS, will be the time the students at the high school building will report daily. income Tax Returns Delayed. Too+,,r-,s. s1zs- e.s-.l .1..s x.1 einity up to date show very clearly that many pefsons who are liable to pay an income tax have not made 1 their returns and probably have given no attention at all to the matter. There opportunity to make such re- turn, without being liable to a pen- atty, expires April 1, which is just l ahead.
 All single men who are earning more 1 than Sl.000 year must make such a return. These men are exempt up to ! S1,O0o, but must pay on their net 1 earnings in excess of that amount ! Under the schedules of wages that are now being paid in many lines of Industry there are hundreds of work l CTS who are earning in excess of $1,- 1 900. and only a very small percentage of the workers have filed returns. ! The obligation to pay an income tax is as binding upon aliens as upon citi- l zens. It is believed that many foreign residents who do not speak English and who do not keep in touch with current events are not informed as
 to what is expected of them and for
 this reason have not filed returns. It will be recalled, however. that the government. months ago, requested manufacturing concerns to keep tabs
 on the earnings of it's employees, SC
 through this checking up process al
 who are liable to pay will be required to pay, either on schedule time ol thereafter

 better than $100,O00 year.
 The taking up of larger and large
 quantities of stamps is desired, how
 ever, by those who have the campaign , Of stamp selling in charge. Tn stamps represent a wonderful invest
 E1ent and a first class method of say
 ing small amounts at a time. At tn : high school the students have pur
 
 5 continue to buy them from day t I day, saving the money to do 50 frer 3 the weekly allowance that is theirs 0 n from earnings during out of schot fhours.
