Fay Domke, on the mainland for
the first time after three years in
Hawaiian Islands, Is in flight

alton Base, Oakland, California,
and attached to the U. s. Marine
Corps, it was learned here this

A trainee of the Civil Aeronautics
Authority in Hawaii, Fay arrived

RpOben Classes in
WPA Adult Education
Evening Commercial
Classes Planned-Regis-
stratiOn Next Monday Eve.

Reopening of evening CONNER
cial classes in WPA adult education
in the senior high commercial
rooms for a fourteen weeks course
was announced this week by Victor
Nelson, instructor, as registration
meetings are planned for the next
two Monday evenings.
He announced that on Monday

tration of adults desiring work in
typing, shorthand or bookkeeping

one dollar Is charged for the four
teen weeks.
The new program, for beginners
and advanced students alike, is the
third in a series under the adult
education program of WPA and
under sponsorship of the Board OF
Education Of the Town Of Sauk
Centre, he said. The last class, held
this fall, opened to nearly forty
students. There Is always some
shrinkage in the classes over the
weeks Of the course, he explained
but If registrations run high
enough the classes may be divided
over four nights during the week
Mr.. Nelson explained that high
school students are welcomed tc
take the course but first they must
have the permission Of their high
school instructors.

No Deferred Classification
Through Trade Schools"

The only case where deferment
is granted because Of employment,
is that of a man who could not be
replaced in an industry without a
great deal of time being expended
on training another person, and
who could not in the strict sense
Of the term, be replaced.
"By a key man is meant one from
whose absence the whole industry
would suffer-" Colonel Nelson said
'It does not refer to workers en-
ployed in industries which are con-
sidered important to National De
fense."
Since the Selective Service Act
went into effect, trade schools have
mushroomed all over the nation.
Their advertising has been heavy
and widespread, and somehow the
idea has grown that II you enroll IN
one Of those schools-among them
are schools Of aviation, welding,
mechanics, radio technical work,
etc.,-you are put In a deferred
classification because the industry
for which you are being trained Is
vital" 1t is repeated that this is
not true. If an individual wishes to
enroll in one of these schools, that's
his own business; but again, it will
not keep him from being called for
service when his order number
comes up.

$1,000 CHRISTMAS CARDS
MAILED IN LOCAL p. o.

Christmas mailing at the local
post office has greatly exceeded
that Of former years, in all de-
partments. Packages for parcel
post, which were greater this year,
were also larger in size than in for
mer years, indicating that people
sent much larger gifts this year
for more generous Yuletide.
Christmas card mailing exceeded
by 1000 cards that Of last year, for
a grand total Of 5000 cards mailed.
Last year Christmas card mailings
were the largest ever recorded,
hence this year there was one
grand leap for the greatest mailing
of Christmas cards ever. All Of this
indicates greater Christmas shop
ping business, as well as a greater
interest in the well being and hap
piness of friends and relatives in
other cities as well as at home.

100000 More
Income Tax
Payers in State
Drastic Change in Law
Puts $500 Incomes on
List-Alters Statutes

The most drastic changes in the
law since the beginning of federal
income taxes will affect $4,000 to
100000 more Minnesotans than
were required to file reports this
year, A. r. Knox deputy Minnesota
collector Of internal revenue said
recently.
Required to file by March Is are
single individuals, or married per-
sons not living with husband or
wife, having a gross income of
$500 or more for the calendar year,
and married individuals living to-
gether having combined gross in
come of $1,000 or more.
Previously taxes have been COM
puted on the basis of net income.
Single persons were exempt $1,000
and married couples $2,5O0, and
they were not required to file re
turns.
"The net income is no longer to
be used in determing the liability
for filing a return" Mr.. Knox said.
"The liability to file Is dependent
upon CITIZENS gross income anu
upon his or her status as married
or single person.
Regardless of the amount Of his
net income, every citizen or resi-
dent of the United States will be
required to file for the taxable
year 1910 If his gross income comes
within the amount specified.
"A return must be filed by those
persons even though by reason OF
allowable deductions from gross
income and Of allowable credits
against net income, it develops that
no tax Is DUE"
Approximately 10000 persons ir
Minnesota filed returns for 1889
and the changes will require 100000
to 100000 to file for 1910, Knox
estimated.
Added to the computed tax, after
deductions allowed by law, will be
defense tax Of 10 per cent of the
income tax.

Only 80 Miles of
Road Out of juneau
Along Seacoast

Evan wruck, who is visiting with
his mother, Mrs. John Wruck, in
this city, said that Alaska is fair
ly bristling with the defense pro-
gram, however, practically no work
along that line has been done in
Juneau, where he is employed on
Federal highway work. Construc-
ton of a $4,000 airport for mill

mer.
Highway maintenance is engag-
ing the crews in the community OF
Juneau at present as there are no
funds for new construction, said
Evan. All roads are being built
along the coast, and will eventual
ly connect the coastal cities. Eighty
miles Of gravel highway is all that
Juneau community can boast. Sew
enty miles of this road continues
south of the city and 10 miles of II
north. The road to the south con.
meets only one town with the city
Of Juneau.
Road work in Alaska Is not an
easy task, as there are no trails
to start with. All roads are of gra,

The city is supported mainly by ,
