Tax Collector to
Help Local Citizens

Nearly 10000 more persons are
expected to make federal income tax
returns during the next 10 weeks
than during the filing period a year
ago in the district of Washington
and Alaska, in the opinion of Col
lector Clark Squire in Tacoma.
This large increase is due pri-
marily to heavier defense industry
pay rolls throughout the district and
to the lower personal exemptions es-
tablished by the 1871 Revenue Act.
Returns must be filed by March Is.
Every unmarried person having
gross income of $3.50 or more must
make a return, even though he may
not be taxed Likewise, a person who
is married, but not living with hus-
band or wife, must file return if
the gross income is at least $3.50.
Husband and wife, if living together,
must file a return if the combined
gross income is $500 or more.
The collector warns taxpayers that
failure to receive a blank form does
not relieve him from filing a re-
turn or paying his tax on time.
Forms may be obtained from the Of
flee of the collector in Tacoma and
from zone offices. The nearest zone
office is in Yakima.
Deputy Collector Robert L. Miles
is scheduled to be at Kennewick on
January 9th to advise taxpayers.

The Amphibian Tanks being useo
by the Marine Corps to train men in
the newly formed ALLIGATOR" COM
panies, are daily going through Sc
we're tests and have yet to be found
wanting either on land or in the
sea.
In the southeastern part of the U
S., in daily training routine, they
climb steep banks, slough through
mud, seaweed, hyacinths and
sWamplands, pushing down four
inch trees like match sticks. They
can spin on dime, nose dive and
stand on their tails without turning
over.
The tank is practically sink
able Traction on both land and in
the water is provided by caterpillar
treads with unusually wide cleats
which give extra pull no matter
where the tank is, or at what angle
it is standing.

The tanks are armed and equip
ped with radio. They were original
ly designed as mercy machine {
rescue persons marooned by storms
and similar disasters when no other
means of transportation were avail
able. The Marine Corps realized
how the mercy machine" could be
easily adapted to military use, and
as consequence, more "alligators'
are daily being added to the armed
strength of the Corps.
AS the new tanks are delivered
more men are being needed to man
them, and an opportunity is given
to men enlisting in the corps to
qualify for training with these
amazing mechanical wonders. Any
recruiting station will be glad to
point out the many advantages of
enlisting with the corps in defense
of America to any applicant, age
II to 80, single and with no de-
pendentS.

PascO Takes Drubbing
From Kennewick Lions
R-r-r-reVenge!

R-r-r-reVenge!
Ordinarily, in these high school
football and basketball games the
contestants do ., not try unusually
hard for big scores. That is, if they
get a safe lead on an opponent, the
coach usually starts substituting
fast enough to keep the contest
somewhere near evenly matched.
This weeks basketball game with
PaSco turned out score OF 40-7i 1t
was a real shellacking and in spite
of all the coach could do, the Lions
were out to ayenge the drubbing they
took last fall on the football field,
as most of the basketeers were also
in on that fracas. They determined
to Wallop the Pasco Bulldogs by the
same score that their football defeat
totalled. They did it, with one for
good measure.
The game started out cold, with
neither team showing anything in
the first quarter. The Lions Tipped
a couple in just to try their eyes and
the quarter was SO. The second
quarter, the boys began to speed up
a little and ended 1910.
In the last half the Lions got hot
and began to flip 'em in from every
angle. Everything worked. Indi-
Vidual scoring was: Allen Smith, for
ward, 10; L. Aman, forward, 6; Asa
Hays, center, 6; Sid Brownell, guard,
, 0;Arthur Evett, guard, 5. The sub
stitutes also scored well with Gavin
Jones, forward, s; Ed CARRIER, center,
2; Billy Kirk, guard, and Preston
and Leibel, guards, o.
Albert Better, player manager of
the B team was high point scorer in
the B game, which was also a Lion
victory to the tune of 1914.
The Lions have now beaten every
team in the valley league, winning
all five. Prosser is second with four
wins and one loss; Toppenish, 80;
Wapato, 2-3; Sunnyside, Ia and
Pasco, 0-5. Kennewick will go to D.,
Wapato Friday for the second half |
of the schedule.
