Editor Newark Leader:
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Will
you please extend my apprecia-
tion to your readers for the aid,
counsel, cooperation and encour-
agement the United States De-
partment of Labor has received
from so many of them during
1941 and convey to them my
very best wishes for 1912.
This New Year will demand
much of every American. 1t
will demand toll and sacrifice
from all of US so that our Amer
lean way of life may be preserv-
ed, our American institutions
safeguarded and freedom of
speech, freedom of press, free
dom of religion, freedom of as
sembly and equal justice to all be
maintained as a noble heritage
and as a sacred trust.
That toll will be gladly given
by the workers Of the United
States at all times and under all
COIlulIlOIlS. All uCCCoodIy odSII-
fices will also be made by them
in this hour of national need.
Theirs is the job of bringing us
more and more of the guns, the
planes, the tanks and the ships
that are so vital to the preser-
vation of American lives and
homes and all that great and
courageous people hold dear.
They can be counted upon to
do that job thoroughly and in all
speed. They can be counted up
on to cooperate with every 9TH
er responsible group of Ameri-
cans at all times in the defense
of our beloved country and in
aid of democratic institutions the
world over.

u. S. Will Help Make
March Is Easier

The Treasury Department is
stretching out helping hand to
15,OO0,O00 potential taxpayers by
issuing an illustrated folder en-
titled "How to File Your Income
Tax the Simple Way"
The folder will be made avail
able shortly after Jan. 1. 1t
takes fictitious John and Mary
Doe of Doeville through the
throes of filing out an income
tax form.
The simplified form lists just
six items to be filled in. They
are (D name, address and occu-
patton; (2) dependents; (3) a
mount of income; (4) credit for
dependents; (5) family status,
and co amount of tax that can
be read directly from a table at
tached to the return.
The table reveals that John
and Mary Doe, with gross in
come of $2,232, will have to pay
a tax of $24. Before defense
costs began piling on the tax
bill, they would not have been
required to pay anything.
The Treasury announced that
the folder would be mailed to all
persons who filed returns during
the 1941 period. In addition,
100000 copies will go to per
sons who will file returns for
the first time this year because
of lowered exemptions. Banks,
savings and loan associations, Ia
Dor unions and corporations will
be asked to distribute them to
taxpayers.
Three hundred and fifty thous-
and posters giving instructions
on filing returns also are being
prepared for distribution to cor
porations through the Ga Off
ces of collectors of internal rev.
enue.
New tax schedules require all
single persons having gross in
comes of $3.50 or more and all
married persons having gross in
comes of $1,000 or more to file
returns.

To Insure Victory
Buy Defense Bonds

After the Axis attack the
President said: "The lives of our
soldiers and sailors-the whole
future of this nation-depend
upon the manner in which each
and every one of us fulfills his
obligation to our country" AS
union members we can take i'm
mediate practical steps to fulfill
that obligation. We can in
crease our purchases of Defense
Savings Bonds and Stamps. We
can insist that voluntary pay
roll allotment plans be installed
wherever we have contracts. We
can arrange that Defense Saw
ings Stamps be sold in our union
offices along with dues stamps.
We must invest our dollars now
in Freedom to insure a victory
for Democracy.-Vincent F. Call
ahan, Chief Radio and Press
Sections, Defense Savings Staff.

Draft
Continued From First Page)

to meet ever-increasing Army calls.
The 20-year -olds scheduled to reg
ister here tomorrow probably will
not be ready for induction for sew
eral months. Approximately 1000
Of the 10000 expected to enroll are
20 years old, it was estimated. The
18 and 10 year old youths who
register tomorrow are not now
eligible for military service.
Here is how the draft situation
now stacks up for District men:
Men with wives and children:
Generally speaking, no local boards
have used men in this category and
under the new orders they are
the last to be called and need not
expect call until late in the fall,
II then.
Men with wives and no children:
Local boards have been dipping into
this group except where the wives
have been dependent on their hus-
bands for support. This is the group
from which some men will go in
August. Those in this group who
have not yet had local board physi-
cal examinations. however, need not
expect to be called before late in
September, at the earliest.
One Group Is Smaller.
Men with dependents with whom
they do not maintain a family re-
lationship: This is not as large a
group in the District as the two
former groups. Under the new Or
ders, men in this group will 60 be-
fore men with wives and no chill
dren.
Men who register tomorrow and
are liable for military service:
Since these youths are put at the
end of local board lists. they will
not be classified and made ready
for induction until local boards
have finished classifying men who
registered February 16, the third
registration.
Some local boards have barely
started classifying men of the third
registration and some have almost
finished, so that the time 2O-year-
oldS can expect induction Will vary
with the local boards. However, it
takes approximately so days to
process a registrant, so youths in
this group need not expect a call
before fall.
Local headquarters said local
boards already had put enough men
in IA out of the first, second and
third registrations TO meet the July,

passed through the town and there
were numerous wells and cisterns
along the highway. Many of their
ruins still remain.
The western shore of the present
harbor of Matruh is of fiat sand,
penetrated by a large lagoon which
was probably the Roman harbor.
Sand has been gradually filling the
lagoon, but the remains of wharves,
| piers and other ruins are still visible.
At the western extremity of the
lagoon is an oasis holding the ruins
of the old town of Matruh. This
was probably the site of the ancient
town of Paraetonium.
In pre-war days Matruh had a
population of only few hundred,
including Greek merchants who
