collect / taken

Tokens will be issued by the
State Tax commission of the
same size as the present tokens,
but made of plastic material which
can be used in money-counting
machines. The value of these tok-
ems will be. one-third of a cent
each-or three tokens for one
penny.
You will note from the above
bracket schedule that tokens will
only be used on sales of less than
80 cents. This will eliminate the
use of tokens, as compared with
our present system, by better than
80 percent. If you do not have any
sales of less than 80 cents, then
YOU will not use any tokens as the
bracket system shows you will be
collecting pennies only.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1941-03-27

Remember, no tokens are col
lected on sales of 80 cents or more.
If you have any surplus of tax
tokens at this time, it is suggested
that you turn same in to the local
office of the Tax Commission, Room
COB, Smith Tower.
This Bureau will let you know
when the new tokens will be avail
able so that you can be pre-
pared to collect 8 per cent Retail
Sales Tax on the new bracket sys-
tenn beginning May 1, 1941.
The tokens will be of bright
orange plastic whit no hole but
approximately of the same size
as the present ones. The color
is to prevent confusing the tokens
with other coins. The lettering
will be the same as on the present
tokens. ..-.. IL
The Rules and Regulations per-
tanning to the collection of the
Retail Sales Tax remain the same
If any new rules or regulations
are issued by the State Tax Com
mission, we will notify you.

work for other women.
 Mrs. D. (and she ig 6 fairly typi. cal housewife .employer) has never considered that 1t might bo smart to pay as much aS ghe could afford to gst the best help within her budget.
 She pays as little as she can, and If she finds out that some ether wo- man in town Is paying Q dollar less week, she worries about 1t con. tinually.
 GIRLS SIDE or THE STORY
 Ard it never occurs to her that girl who Is quick to learn, ener- gctic and honest might deserve a raise after six months of. work, dur- Ing which time she has had to learn to do everything Just the way her new employer wants 1t done.
 No, she intends to pay her girl certain amount of money from the day she takes the job until the day she leaves 1t. If the girl Aets up courage enough to ask for a small raise, Ehe gets fired, and another girl takes her place.
 Then, too, Mrs. W. thinks SO much about "all that she doeS' for her maid that she can reel of her kind- negseg the minute the servant prob- lem Is introduced Into tho conversa- ton.
 She gives her maid . home (often the home b in an attic or basement room that no member of the fam fly would think of uSdng). She gives her laundry privileges She lets her use the telephone though think I'll put a stop to that; she abuses the privilege so." She gives her old clothes that otherwise would 90 to the Salvation Army. r..- WHY GIRLS CHOOSE FACTORY And the thing that surprises and wounds Mrs. W. iS that the girl doesn't appreciate all these things. She wants to stay out until all hours at least two nights Q month, when, goodness knows, anyone who works for Q living has to get enough sleep.
 She actually had tho nerve to ask for Q holiday of, and "that's when I need her most" And she coill- plained because she had to work a few hours overtime several nights last week.
 Yes, it's easy to see why the girls who have 6 chance to choose be- tween running . machine in a fac- tory and running some other wo- mans home, choose the factory. It's easy, that Is, after you've listened to Q number of Mrs. WIS discuss the servant problem"

D MODERN MENUS
BY MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Service Staff Writer


 Carrots are always big nutrition and economy news. In general, the deeper the color of the carrot, the more vitamin A. That's because the coloring matter in carrots is Q yel- low pigment known as carotene, which human beings convert into vitaniin A in their bodies. Carrots are also good source of calcium and 6 good source of riboflavin.
 The vegetables popularity has leaped in the past 20 years. Both commercial growers and home gar- derers have taken to planting more and more of them. Per capita, we are eating nearly three times as many carrots today as we were back in 1920.
 HAVE MANY USES
 According to home economics ex- perts, the carrot is a regular veget- able-of- -ali- trades in the kitchen. It Is part and parcel of numerous stews, pot roasts, soups, and chowd- CTS. Carrots and peas have become e combination almost aS well es- abolished as succotash.
 Raw carrot is excellent food. Its mild flavor and bright color coln- bine well with celery, cabbage, and cucumbers. Serve the carrot in slender sticks cut lengthwise of the root. Or shred them on an ordin- ary cheese grater.
 Shredded carrot is good in com- blnation with shredded cabbage, combined with 6 salad dressing.
 For Q good crunchy sandwich filling use grated carrot and chop

Oswald Jacoby held the South hand and Edward Hymes, Jr. held the North hand. The first round of bidding was perfectly normal. When Jacoby bid two diamonds end Wset passed, Hyines thought his hand was too good to bid three clubs and still not strong enough to bid four clubs. He temporized with c bid of two spades.
 Jacoby saw the possibility of 6 slam and therefore bid his oppos nent,s suit. The information about the hearts now allowed Hymes to bif three no trump, which Is the spot where most contestants played the hand. Jacoby decided the hand would be safer in spades, not real- izing that his partner held only three of the suit.
 The opening heart lead was won la dummy with the king. The deuce of spades was covered by the queen and North won the trick with the acc. He led back the seven of spades, played low from dummy, and West won the trick with his king.
 If West, ct this point, had led 6 diamond, or the queen of hearts, he could have defeated the con. tract, but he did not. He cashed the ace of clubs and then led another club. Now Hymes finessed the nine of spades and picked East's last spade, the ten-spot. with dummyS jack, making five-odd for c top score on the board.

 Are Widely Used

 VITAMIN A REMAINS

VA1AMkN "A kSEMA4NS
 Brighten your vegetable plaees with cooked carrots. Combine them with many other vegetables. Outside leaves of celery boiled with carrots, or carrots fried with apples add variety and taste contrast. Cooked carrots with a cheese sauce make an unusual and substantial dish.
 The vitamin A value of carrots will remain intact at all ordinary cooking temperatures. To conserve the calcium in carrots, however, use as little water as possible in cook ing. Serve the liquid with the cooked vegetable.
 Carrots sliced and cooked in waA ter wil ltake about 10 to IS min- utes to cook tender. Young carrots boiled whole will take from 15 to 20 minutes. These young carrots may be scraped first, then boiled, but many cooks like simply to wash the carrots first, then boil them. After the carrots are tender the skins may then be removed quickly and easily.
 Another good way to cook car- rots is to slice them in a casserole, then bake with just little water. Serve plain carrots with melted butter, finely chopped parsley, and a little lemon juice to bring out their mild flavor.
