MORE OLD CARS

Recer ivey Finds One-half
of automobiles Have
Cash Value of $3.50
LONG LIFE EXPECTANCY

Delaware owned motor vehicles,
a high percentage of which are sew
eral years old, produced revenues
to the state in 1941 amounting to
fully rs per cent of the total tax
revenues collected from all sources
two decades ago, H. V. Daniel, Sec
rotary, Associated Petroleum In
dustries of Delaware, declared to-
day. "sccording to recent sur
vey," Daniel explained, there
are t mes as many used as new
cars cur highways. The same
survey estimates that over one-half
of our automobiles have cash
value of no more than $3.50. The
value of a car, however, is not a
factor in its utility or its capacity
to produce revenues to the state.
Many of these older cars, high
percentage of which are over five
years of age, have a high and es-
sential utility and. as result, fire.
quently produce more in gasoline
taxes than new cars. Especially is
this true of cars transporting men
to work in defense industries, fire.

tances. In view of the ban against
the sale of new cars, it is comfort

We're quite lively on Saturday, but
the sun of Sunday, and drizzle of
Monday made it entirely unfit.
The laws of Delaware have given
public notice that all children at
tending the public schools shall be
vaccinated unless already protected
from small pox by vaccination, or
by an attack of that disease. The
time in which it is required to be
done expires on January 22nd. At
that time all children who have not
been vaccinated are liable to be
prohibited from the schools unless
they can procure a certificate that
they have been previously vaccinat-
ed or have had the small pox. The
law further provides, any children
whose parents are unable to pay
for vaccination, may be vaccinated
free by a physician appointed for
that purpose by the trustees of the
poor of the hundred.
Whatever the missionary collec-
ton taken at the Methodist Church,
Sunday was, it came near being ten
dollars less by one of those little
incidents now and then occurring
for which no one is responsible, but
which often effects results mater
tally. The gentleman in question
folded the note neatly in the en-
velope which had been furnished
and put it in his pocket with the
regular envelope containing the
weekly contribution. On reaching
the church he found the latter en-
velope was in his pocket but the
other one was gone, where or how
he could not tell, but he sent his
son back home to see if it had pos
sibly been left there. Returning
without it, the gentleman went
himself, but with no better result.
Finally, his wife suggested he
might have dropped it in the stave
(where he had stopped to see after
the fire. and acting on the sugges-
ton he repaired there at once to
find it lying on the hearth of the
stove where it had dropped from
his pocket, not yet having had time
to get roasted. The note thus
reached the destination intended by
good fortune that does not al
ways follow in similar Circumstance

CIVIL AIR PILOTS
PATROL STATE
Test Flights Made to Check
Results of Observa-
ton Posts
FLIGHTS A SUCCESS

Delaware Wing of the Civil Arr
Patrol flew on two official missions
during the past week-becoming
the first state wing to fly on official
patrol business. In addition, at a
recent meeting in Harrisburg, Pa,
the Delaware group was classed by
National Commander John F. Cur
ry as 100 per cent ahead of any
other state by the only measure
ment we have in Washington-the
percentage of pilots sending in ap-
plications for patrol membership"
The flights were made Thursday
night, when Training and Opera
lions Officer Hugh R. Sharp flew
over the DUPONT Building in Will
mington to check results of black
out test, and on Sunday when
three of the patrols planes flew
throughout the state for the benefit
of air raid spoilers. In Sundays
flight, the three airplanes covered
the state at announced attitudes of
1000, 1000, and 5000 feet in order
that the spoilers, who are required
to report the altitude of passing
planes, could learn what they look
like at the various heights. 1t was
originally scheduled to have four
tn airplane fly at $4,000 feet, but a
high overcast blanketed Whining
ton at the time the flight started,
and the highest flight was abandon
ed because of visibility conditions.
1t was announced, however that
further such flights are being plan
ned, and that a plane will be flown
at the $4,000 foot level as soon as
weather permits. George Ehringer
of Dover, head of the states air
raid spotting system, reported the
flight was a great success. Spot
tiers throughout the state saw the
flight of three airplanes and report
ed it to the interceptor command,
he said. Meanwhile, Commander
Hoiriis announced enlistments of
licensed pilots are still being sought
by the patrol. 1t is expected that
eventually all pilots in the state
will sign up for duty with the vol
unteer defense organization. Dur
ing the week, R. R. M. Carpenter
of Wilmington, well-known Della
ware sportsman and aviation en-
thusiast, donated to the patrol use
of his Stinson Reliant airplane and
a pilot to fly it. The airplane will
be available to the patrol at all
times, Mr.. Carpenter said.

YOUR FEDERAL INCOME TAX
Who Must File Return and When
to the Federal Government

The Revenue Act of 1941 pro-
vides a simplified method of COM
putting income tax in the case of in
dividuals whose gross income is de-
rived wholly from salary, wages or
other compensation for personal
services, dividends, interest, rent,
annuities, or royalties, and does not
exceed $4,000. A new Form 1040A
has been provided for taxpayers
who are entitled to and elect to use
such method. A table on the re-
verse side of this Form shows the
amount of tax on increasing
amounts of gross income after the
proper allowance of $500 for each
dependent, if any.
The tax under the simplified
method is the same for each $500
block of gross income and the tax
payer need only ascertain in which
block his gross income (less allow
ance for dependents) falls to de-
termine his tax, A fiat reduction
of A0 percent has been made in ar
irving at the amount of tax shown
in the table for deductions such as
charitable contributions and taxes
paid, SO that the taxpayer who uses
this method does not list these but
gets an automatic deduction of 10
percent.
Under the simplified method the
status of a person on the last day
of the taxable year is the govern
ing factor in determining the ex-
emption level ($750 for single per-
sons and married persons not living
with husband or wife, and 81, 500
for married persons living togeth-
err as well as the credit for de-
pendents.
A husband and wife living to-
gether on the last day of the tax
able year may file separate returns
on Form 1040A if the gross income
of each is from the prescribed
sources and does not exceed $4,000,
or they may file single joint re-
turn on that Form if their COM
bined income is from the prescribed
sources and does not exceed $4,000.
The use of the simplified method
is optional with the taxpayer but
once an election has been made for
any year, it is irrevocable for that
year. If taxpayer files a return
under the simplified method for the
taxable year he may not thereafter
file a return under the general pro-
visions of the law for that year.
Conversely, if he files a return I'M
der the general provisions for any
taxable year, he may not thereaf-
ter file return under the simph-
fed method for that year. How
ever, new election is allowed for
each succeeding taxable year.

turers have increased the life ex-
pectancy of cars from eight to
twelve years in the past decade
thus giving us assurance that these
old cars will still retain their me-
chanicsl vitality for some time. I'm
less these cars continue to operate,
motor vehicle revenues will be sub
stantially reduced. Last year these
revenues reached the sum of So
100000 of which 2,508.000 was
state gasoline taxes. Our old cars
have been major factors in produc-
ing huge revenues, but few of us
have ever given thought to the i'm
poytanee of these vehicles, largely
owned by citizens of modest in
come. Nor have we recognized the
heavy tax burden on tbs class
whose use of highway transporta-
ton is so vital to our economic sys-
tenn and to our great defense eff
forts"
