mo Trespassing'

With the approach of weather and the conse-
quent thawng of the ground it is timely repeat an
annual warning to be careful about taking shortcuts

to nfict costly damage to the sod by walking it.
This year, in particular pedestrians reminded to
use the sidewalks and underpasses since repairing the
damage will be doubly difficult because of both shortage
OF help in the maintenance department. and similar diff
cutes in obtaining material to restore the damaged
However, in this connection should like to comment
further
While legally those who cross the grassy areas are
espassers the continued of certain route by many
citizens presents the administration in opinion with
some obligation to investigate the need for the path with
view to making it permanent
Just because sidewalks laid down five years ago
in certain pattern is in itself justification for assuming
that they where they most needed today the
vast majority of of they are but there
instances where the shortcuts represent reasonable and
needed routes.
For example, with large portion of wartime pop
uaton living at distance in the northern section of
town-curaled in the their cars and gasoline and
without other of transportation to and from the
center- is only to be expected that is mad
to count.
Therefore, we'll warning and threatening other
wise lawabidng citizens with the stigma of trespasser
would suggest that the town administration consider
of these shortcuts their merits of convenience and
drecness before posting them forbidden. There would
be little if increase in repair costs by laying down
flagsones that the turf Will not be further damaged
We holding brief for using shortcuts in general
Such constitutes trespassng until town regulations
changed and repeated violations should result in fines
However, pointing out that for those who have to

Your Income Tax


Filling out your income tax
blank needn't be as hard as you
think. And you probably don't
need C.P.A. or lawyer to fill it,
out.
Here are some thingsss 70 REL
member:
/. No matter what Congress
does about pay as you go taxa
ton or forgiving this years tax
es, you must file your return by
March Is next Monday and pay
at least one-fourth Of your tax.
2. If you are unable to pay put
a note to that effect in with your
return. The Collector will con-
tact you and you probably can
make arrangements to pay when
you are able. But you will pay
Sc interest till then.
3. The average citizen Of Green
belt will probably be able to use
the short form which takes about
Is minutes to fill out. You can
decide if that form is cheapest for
you by adding up your deductions.
If they are SO of your total in
come-or less-it will pay you to
use the short form. This is be-
cause the Treasury already al
lows you 6ao in the schedule of
taxes printed on the short form.
a. The most important deduc-
tions for the average Greenbelter
are:
Contributions Red Cross, War
relief, church etc.
State gasoline tax.
Cost of license plates; drivers
license; your Federal Use Tax

Admissions tax-10% of ad-
mission to movies, athletic events,

6. The government doesn't only
need your money to help win the
war. 1t needs it to cut down on
spending and stop imitation. That
means so the cost of milk and

fore, if you have decided to pay in
four quarterly payments but have
excess money, use that to pay off

Congress will probably cut off

thing would therefore be to put
that extra cash into war bonds
and take it out when as and if

FACTS ABOUT
PASSENGER CAR TIRES

The synthetic rubber tire is not yet an improve
ment but it will keep your car rolling through the
emergency.
In many respects, the new synthetic rubber tires
unknown quantity.
How they would behave at the phenomenaIy
high speeds of prewar days is purely academic The
patriotic citizen knows that high speeds wear out his
treads far faster than the recommended speed of
35 miles per hour. and drives accordingly.
Under-infation, driving over rough roads, and
other abusesare bad for all tires-but todays evi-
dence is that synthetic tires will stand less of these
abuses than the tires you have been used to-
But, since these tires will be rationed to you in
trust for the nation, it will be your duty to take
every possible care of them and to prevent mis-
use and abuse.
AS we gain more experience with synthetic rub
ber tires, more and more things will become known
about them, and the public win be kept informed.
If you use synthetic rubber tubes, be sure they
are properly installed They should be put into the
tire, then inflated, Debated and inflated again. And
they should never be mounted on rusty rims.

Fatness Feminine Charm

In Morocco, northwest Africa, it
is the desire of all women to be
fat-fatness is the standard of FEM
inine charm and beauty. In the
town of Meknez, the women collec-
lively weigh about as much as the
buildings.
Slender women are scheduled to
"full feed" and, after each heavy
meal, they are given 30-calorie
pills made of dough, concentrates
of anise, spices, and medicines.
Treatment is continued until a
woman weighs $50 pounds.

. \" yOO We IIldIIlSu yOul SOI-
w dier-or sailor or marine
or flyer, and that he's gone away
into service somewhere. Now,
what's the next step for you?
What should you do to carry on
while he's away, and to help
build a new and better world
when he comes home?
This question concerns more
than a million women. Nearly
two million war weddings
have taken place in the last
18 months, and several hum
dred thousand brides, having
been caught into the breath
less, thrilling, emotional whirl of
hurried marriage, are left today to
wonder just how it is all coming
out. Some of them are already be-
wildered and doubtful 1t all seems
unreal; the sudden appearance of
the uniformed lover, the quick vows
and brief kisses, the parting-per-
haps for months, perhaps even for
years.
Mary catches her breath when it
is all over, and looks at her new
ring and writes her new name, and
wonders
Yes, she wonders. For she doesn't
really feel married. When sympa-
thetic relatives and friends say fat
tering things of Tom she agrees
eagerly; he's pretty swell per-
son, she says shyly. But is he?
Does she really know anything
about him?
Husbands Letters Surprise Wife.
Sometimes she doesn't. Some
times his letters rather surprise
her. Sometimes it surprises her and
irks her when her mother gently
suggests that she had better stop
going about to dinners and dances
with the old crowd.
''But good heavens, Mother"
says Mary, flushing resentfully,
"Tom said he wanted me to have
a good time!"
Eyes, I know, darling. But your
first thought has to be Tom, now.
You see, Billy and Ben and Martin
still like you very much, and they
hardly know Tom, they may even
resent his sweeping in here and
carrying you off so suddenly. When
you go out with other boys, and they
send you flowers, you're doing
something that wife isn't supposed
to do"
$50 all my fun is over!" Mary
says bitterly. At 81 she doesn't feel
that her whole interest can be
turned to Red Cross work, dish
washing at the canteen, knitting,
good brisk walks, books and vic
tory gardening. She is still the girl
she was when Tom burst into her
life few months ago.
And at this point. if Mary goes
idle and aimless, as so many young
wives do, her marriage and per-
haps the happiness of her whole
lifetime are at stake. What she
needs is work; useful and construc-
tive work; something to keep her
busy all day, bring her home tired
at night, and give her something
worthwhile about which to write to
Tom.
Hundreds of young war-wives and
anxious mothers write me about
this problem. The other day a
mother mailed me printed list of
the four questions that a certain
New York clergyman, the Rev. DR..
Randolph Ray of New York, asks
the couples that he marries. Do
they really know each other, are
they really in love, have they SINH
lar backgrounds or interests, and
when they are reunited after the
war, do they realize that they may
feel themselves complete strang-
ers?

FACTS ABOUT TRUCK
and BUS TIRES

On truck and bus tires, particularly In over-the-
road nter-cty service the situation is less salts
factory.
Truck and bus tires are operated under more
severe conditions than passenger tires. They are
heavier, thicker-generate more heat. They are all
too frequently overloaded, must travel on any kind
of highway their work requires.
Again we'll be perfectly frank about it synthetic
truck and bus tires built will not stand all the
abuse that the prewar tire would take, especially
overlooking. Progress is being made every day-but
overlooking which damaged a prewar tire can ruin
today's synthetic rubber tire.
The Tire Industry is bending every effort to
solve the serious problems of furnishing satisfactory
and sufficient tires to the truck and bus field.
But serious threat still exists to our most vital
transportation.
So remember this-whie the treads of pres
ent truck and bus tires are vitaIly Important, the
carcasses of these tires have value to our truck
operators, and to the nation that is beyond price.
Unless these tires made to last and last there is
almost certain to be breakdown of truck service
Every one Of these tires nnust be recopped the
very minute it needs if-before any damage is
done to the carcass. Speeds must be cut down,
especially hot roads. Overloads must be
eliminated. Proper imitation is a necessity.
Operators, garage men, drivers, all have heavy
responsibility that they cannot now avoid. These
are Straightforward statements. The warning must
not go unheeded. A new tire warranty recognizes
these conditions, but the real job is conservation!
The Ely miner., 1943-11-18

This is the situation today-the rubber supply
crisis is past but the long predicted and anticipated
tire shortage is with Us.
Why is this so, when thousands of tons of Gov
ernment synthetic rubber are now being made?
Why is this SO, when the rubber industry is pro-
ducing tremendous tonnage of rubber products and
more airplane and truck tires than ever before?
Because, as the Baruch Committee foresaw-
the fact that few tires could be made until we
had our synthetic rubber supply well on the
way, resulted in millions of tires going out of
service without replacement-and those re-
naming have less mileage in them. Inventories
of prewar tires are gone.
Because our military needs are way beyond any
ones anticipations.
Because the rubber companies must use lot of
their manpower and machines to make bullet
sealing gas tanks and hundreds of other rubber
products for war; in addition to tires.
Because half of today's requirements are for
heavy-duty, lar9e-size truck, bus, combat, artil-
lery, and airplane tires, requiring many, many
times the labor and materials of peacetime
needs :. (. . and finally -.
Because the manpower shortage hangs over the
tire industry it does all industry, and there
are just too few hands for the job

POLAND BEING REBORN AS ARMY GROWS
Genera! Anders Iroins Powerful! Force in !roa

Anders told me. There are difficulties
in the way of travelling and checking up
in Russia.
Every day and week, while we were
forming in Russia, there came men and
women to join us. Many of them were
released from Russian internment as
late as May, 1912.
Nobody else on the earth Is more
willing to maintain good relations with
Russia than the Poles, and this process
should begin with Russia's treating us
as allies. I cannot emphasize too greatly
that our desire is to improve relations
with Russia.
From the point of view of justice and
honesty and equality, these matters
should be settled as soon as possible.
Our men are asking God every day
to give them back their families. This
is the subject of their daily prayers.
Owing to the care already extended by
the British government and proper ra-
tions, our soldiers are now in the best Of
health and spirits.
They are working hard and their
only wish is to obtain arms as early as
possible in order to be able to fight and
take vengeance on the Germans for all
the crimes against the Polish people
Pray for U. S. Victory.
'The attitude of the Polish soldiers
and the civilian population with regard
to the United States is one of heartfelt
alliance. For example, when President
Roosevelt published his message to the
Polish people last year, the people
kneeled to pray that God give victory to
the Star Spangled Banner.
From the moment that the United
States became belligerent, all Poles re-
ceived an additional guarantee that Pol
tsh questions would be righteously
settled"
The future of the Polish Eastern Army
depends in great measure. Gen. Anders
said, on the capacity of the United States
to supply needed arms and equipment.
In the ruddy light and warmth of his
living room fire, Gen. Anders relaxed,
cross-legged, and spoke at length of the
suffering Of his people. He was under
standably reticent about some details
but he told of repeated efforts to learn
whether certain thousands of them are
living or dead. He told Of the migration
from Russia, across the Caspian Sea, as
well as overland through Asiatic Russia,
across the difficult mountain ranges of
Iran to the plains OF Iraq-where the
Polish Army is being reborn.
