Another Birthday

This issue marks another birthday
of The Midland Journal, its sixty
fifth. Established in 1878 by w. H.
Pennington, the present manage
ment has been connected with 1t
since 1885-father, the late e. e.
Ewing, and sons.
The lapse of years has seen many
changes, with the passing of many
old friends as well as methods.
Half century ago the type for
newspapers was all handset, but this
is a machine age, mechanical appli-
ances being employed in typesetting,
as well as great many other voca-
lions. Speed is the big item in these
days of feverish restlessness.
The radio may be cited as one case
in point. Nowadays things of impor-
lance from every corner of the world
are flashed to people by radio almost
as soon as they occur. Time was when
we depended almost entirely on oui
newspapers as means of circula-
ton of the news.

New Tax
Measure
Goes Into Effect
Uncle Sam Arranges To
Get A Portion Of
That Pay Check

After midnight June 80, Uncle
Sam began to take personal inter-
est in your pay check. A chunk of it
you'll never see comes out at the
source for income taxes.
Under the new system devised by
Congress to keep people as nearly
abreast of their annual taxes as pos
ible, officials estimated that employ
ers will deduct about $5OO,OOO,O 900
month from the pay envelopes of
their employees.
The checkoff will be at the rate
Of 20 percent of all earnings over
personal exemptions, which are $12
a week for single persons, $24 week
for married persons and Sc addition
al per week for dependents.
The tax starts with the first pay
roll period after July 1. However,
millions of wage earners will not be
affected until later this month For
instance, persons paid by the calen-
dar week, won't start missing the
Withholding tax until the second
week, because the current week
started before July effective date
of the pay-as-you-go legislation.
The Treasury said it appeared the
new plan would start off smoothly,
mostly because of familiarity with
similar but smaller deductions for
Victory tax which have been in effect
all year. The new system includes
both Victory and income taxes.
Official regulations released July /
authorize employers, in figuring the
deduction, to disregard the odd cents
on pay checks. Thus, a $35.27 check
can be counted as $500 for con-
venience in applying the deduction
formula.
The Treasury also told bosses to
skip the withholding angles on ex-
pense account payments to employees,
but advised them to count in any
pay other than money which custom
arily is part of the remuneration.
Thus, if an employee is paid $25
week and furnished meals, the meals
are also subject to tax. The regula-
ton suggested, however, that the
Treasury could not put sandwiches
in the bank and employers would
have to figure the meals on cash
value based on either actual cost or
market value. The same goes for
employers who pay their employees
partly in stocks or other securities.
Vacation pey, pensions, as well as
bonuses, also are subject to the act.
Exempted from the Withholding sys-
tenn are service men, domestic SER
wants, clergymen and farm labor.
Provisions are beiig made so that
almost any bank will be able to ac-
cept deposits to Treasury account"
the money deducted by employers.

ton is given to swimming. Each COM
pany commander aims to have each
man in his command swim at least
fifty-five yards before he completes
his recruit training.
On the sides of the pool are sim
ulated ship sides where abandon
ship drills are practiced, with jumps
from heights above twenty feet into
the water-the men being fully
clothed. Keeping afloat with the help
of driftwood is taught. The use of
clothing as life preservers and the
handling of life RATS are among
which the recruits become proficient.
From cambridge, go men to train
sailors physically at other bases.
Some of the best-known athletes of
the nation are in the Physical In
structors' School, recently moved
here from Norfolk.
In teaching the sailors why they
are to fight, cambridge has pro-
gram of war orientation which con-
sists of weekly documentary movies
ad sessions presided over by company
commanders on the events of the
war and the daily news, supplement-
ed with maps and bulletins. a
cambridge is self contained. Ii
has it's own bakery, laundry and 9TH
er places for taking care of necessi-
ties. 1t even has a private. railroad
line with two locomotives. Outgoing
troops of men are loaded on trains
at the station and shipped on their
way. The railroad also brings in
tons of food and other supplies.
Every effort, officers say, is made
to fit each man into the job for which
he is best suited.
cambridge trained sailors are
serving with the feet on the seven
seas and many graduates of the sta
ton and other sailors back from duty
with the fleet return to the school
for briefer refresher course before
beginning their studies in the Navy's
new Viz program.

WITHOUT YOU
THE WAR
WOULD BE LOST

If you have already signed up to
work in the fields or in the canneries,
you have become soldier on one of
the most important of all the fighting
fronts, THE FOOD FRONT. And the
importance of this front cannot be
over-estimated. Look at it realistic
ally-a man cannot live and GER
ainly fight without food That's a
fundamental. And unless we the
people here in America see that
our men get food and all they need,
they won't be able to fight on to vic
tory. That's how basic it is and how
important your job is.
Mr.. Claude r. Wickard, Secretary
of Agriculture, said Food will win
the war and write the peace" That
is no idle statement 1t is a very real
fact. But your job of picking and
packing the fruits and vegetables
from our fertile fields goes beyond
our fighting forces. On doing this
job, you are helping to build up food
reserves that will be used to feed
the starving people of Europe once
we have won the peace. You are do
ing a job, all right. And you can be
proud of what you're doing. Without
you the war would be lost So you
must stay on-no matter how tired
you become-and you will be tired!
You must stay on this job until you,
personally, are sure that every vege-
table and piece of fruit is packed
into cans and on it's way to our army,
our navy, our allies, our nation!
If you have read this article
and are not member of the fighting
food front, we hope that you will
realize the Importance of this job
and join today. 1t will take every
able bodied man, woman, boy and
girl to get the crops in and pack
them. YOU are needed-definitely
Don't put it off-go NOW and sign
up as soldier on the Food Front.
Fight for victory with food-the
most powerful weapon of all.

The construction program at Balm
bridge Training Station, Port Deposit
has been completed after more than
a years work, and was marked last
week by the dedication of the audi
torium and amphitheatre, but the
building of men" for the nations
warships is continuing at an in
creased tempo.
The half-century old Tome school
high on the banks of the Susquehan-
ma River at Port Deposit, was the
nucleus of the station-but only the
nucleus. Adjacent farmlands have
been purchased until the training
plant now stretches over more than
1000 acres and is housed in more
than 400 buildings. Built at the cost
of $45,O0O,000, it has facilities for
10000 men at a time.
Named in honor of Commodore
William cambridge who commanded
the frigate Constitution in the War
of 1912 and fought the Barbary pir-
ates, the training station is among
the most modern and efficient in the
nation.
The cambridge training system
seems to perfect physical conditions
of the men, trains them in the art of
seamanship, instills in them the lore
of the sea, teaches them the customs
and traditions of the American Navy
and tells them why they are lighting.
Physical training is considered one
of the most important phases of the
course. At least an hour every day
is devoted to strenuous physical ex-
ercise of the type best designed to
condition the recruit. Like Comman-
do recruits of the army they are
trained On obstacle courses, with
leaping, running, hanging, climbing,
swinging and crawling all in the
days work. They learn quickly that
all the marching in the war is not
done by the army, as they go through
long drills under arms.
Boxing, wrestling, mass games,
personal combat and calisthenics are
