Y o U R Income Tax
NO. 3
NO. 3 GROSS INCOME DETERMINES LIABILITY FOR A RETURN

A very arresting fact in the 1941 income tax law is the lowering of the personal exemption from $500 to $750 for d single person, and from $2,000 to $500 for a married person or the head of a family, and the change in the basis for deter mining liability for return.
 Every citizen or resident of the United States must file an income tax return, if single, or not living with husband or wife, and his or her gross income is $75O or over; or if married an~ living with husband or wife and his or her gross income equals or exceeds $1 800; or if both have gross income and the combined gross income of husoand and wife equals $1 800 or over. Thus single persons or married persons not liv- ing with husband or wife, who earn as much as $14.43 a week for the 52 weeks of the year, and married persons living together who have aggregate earnings as much as $28.85 week for the year, are re- quired to file returns.
 It matters not if the return dis closes that, by reason of allowable | deductions, or the credit for per- sonal exemption or for dependent CT dependents, the individual has no tax to pay; the gross income of such persons must be reported to the government.

 Thus, homcsites purchased were approximately one-third greater in number than single family dwellings built, an indication that to the de- gree that materials can be had de- mand for new building will continue.
 Defense areas showed, of course, somewhat livelier building than the national average and livelier pur- chasing of homesites. Houses built averaged 2.38 per 1000 population or 11.8 for every 1000 families. Lots sold averaged 3.78 per 1000 pop ulation or l5.4 for every 1000 fam lilies.

What amount of direct government Building to expect in the community IS a factor affecting private con- 3truction to a marked degree.

by his plane, so we took him to the Robinson home and made him wei. come," explained the Hawaiian.
 We allowed him to roam the island, because we didn't know about the war. While he was at liberty he met Harada and Shintani, the two Japanese who were on Niihau island, and persuaded them to hell him escape. The pilot asked Shin- tani to go to Havila and get his war papers and guns back with a bribe of 200 yen. The papers were maps of Oahu.
 When this happened, Havila be- came suspicious and left Niihau with five other cowboys in whale boat for Kauai, 15 miles away. IT. making their escape, the cowboys mounted horses and rode furiously through town in hail of machine gun bullets, because the Japanese meanwhile, had recovered the guns and were ill control of the village.
 T left the village that night witl mvy wife, Ella, and the whole com munity, and we stayed in caves 1T the back of the hills. The next morning, Harada and the flyer found me and my wife in cave They were suspicious that help was being sought by now, and the pilot had burned his plane. They asked me to find Havila and pretended tt help them search for him.
 "They were getting madder anG madder and finally I think they were going to commit suicide be- cause the pilot gave Harada his shotgun. Then grabbed at the gu1! and the pilot shot me in the ribs in the opu (stomach) and the groin
 Husky Benny Kanahele "got mad according to his story. He picked up the pilot and threw him against the stone wall. Mrs. Kanahele's fighting blood was up, too, and she finished the job by bashing the pilots brains out with large rock During this time, Harada shot and killed himself.
 When help from Kauai arrived they found Kanahele had walked home because he didn't feel so good" He is now recuperating at a Kauai hospital.

Spirited Public Aid
 Needed For Cripples
Connecticut Lacking in Treatment of Underprvileged Children-MOre Vocational Guidance Needed

cities provide a teacher for special service to crippled children at school, home or hospital. Several Of the larger cities still do not have ade- quate clinic and physical therapy facilities.
 Societies Aid
 Doctor Sablof pointed out that the crippled children program of the state department of health which has been in operation about four years covers the smaller cities, towns and rural areas in the state The plan supplements services for the care of crippled children fur nished by other clinics and institu- tions generally located in the larger cities. These include the Newington Home for Crippled Children and or thopedic clinics in New Haven, Hartford, Waterbury, New Britain Greenwich, Bridgeport and Winsted Philanthropic organizations carrying on this work are the Crippled Chil- dren's Aid Society of New Haven, the Connecticut Society for Crippled Children which sponsors workshops in several cities, and the Presidents Birthday Ball Fund.
 Duplication of medical and re- lated services by the Division of Crippled Children and these agen- cies is avoided Doctor Sabloff ex- plained. Under the tSate program, clinics are held monthly at Dan bury, Derby, NeWington, Norwich, Stamford and Willimantic; the sev- cnth clinic is to be opened soon at Putnam. Here, children under twenty-one years of age referred by a licensed physician because of some crippling condition and un- able to afford private care are ex- amined and treated.
 Needs Explained
 But rehabilitation of the crippled child cannot stop with medical care at clinic or hospital, Doctor Sabloff further explained. Many cases re- quire medical social care, nursing and supplementary services such as education, mental hygiene, voca tional and occupational training which must be obtained through the cooperation of other official and non-official agencies. When the child's home is inSufficiently equipped, temporary care in care fully selected and adequately super vised foster home must be arranged through child-placing agency. Nursing care is provided by State or local nursing associations to carry out home treatment. Whenever possible arrangements are made through local boards of education for home schooling or for special considerations at school. Suitable cases are directed to vocational training and to creaniza tions which employ trained occupattonal thera- pIsts. To further these projects in communities where they are now lacking, continued public interests and support are essential.
