NEW TAX BLANKS
TO Be AVAILABLE
Returns For l943 Will Not
Be Distributed This
Year

From the major zone office Of
the internal revenue department.,
located in the postoffice building
in Wilmington comes an announce
ment that the 1943 income tax
blanks will be ready for distribu-
ton on January 3, 1943.
Raymond D. Christ1nan, chief
zone deputy of the Wilmington
zone states that both forms 1040
and 1O40-A carry more compli-
cations than all proceeding re-
turns and that he would suggest
every person who expects to pre-
pare their personal returns tot
carefully study them before pro-
ceeding with the work of actually
preparing the report and comput-
ing the tax. He said that his office
was not furnished adequate force
to mail out returns and that those
desiring them will be required to
call by the office for them. "It is
generally understood he said,
''that the regular filing period
would begin around February l.,
1914 and last through March Is
as usual"
Mr.. Christman points out that
his investigations have developed
many cases, especially among
workers who have enormously ex-
ecuted form Wa; that is they have
misled their employers with res
poets to their proper Withholding
status because of alleged depend
ents. 1.-THE law is very plain about
such abuses or transformation -
he said and he quotes in part the
law governing:
ANY person required to supply
information to his employer under
section 1922 (h, who willfully
fails to supply Information there
under which would require an in
crease in the tax to be withheld
under section 1922, shall, in lieu Of
any penalty otherwise provided
upon conviction thereof, be fined
not more than $4,000, or impri
soned for not more than one year
or BOTH.
cit is therefore obvious" saio
the deputy, that before executing
the withholding form such EN-
ploye should make sure that his
claims are legal and come with
in the text and meaning OF the
law, otherwise such taxpayer might
find himself in an embarrassing
position which could otherwise be
escaped, because such cases will
be turned over to special agents
of the government for legal treat
ment. ~.

Home-Curing
Will Help Use
Supply Of Pork
By ANN STEVICK

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. - With
YOUR handout of five points a per-
son for pork, and with turkey left
overs on hand, you might gather
up enough meat points to get a
stable ham or shoulder to be
cured in your refrigerator a n d
kept till spring.
A new Department of Agricul-
ture extension service circular
Summary of Meat Conserving
Methods, will give you directions
for the simple materials and meth
DDS. A mixture of two pounds of
sugar, two pounds of salt and 1-2
ounce of saltpeter is more than
enough to coat ham. You can
buy commercially prepared curing
mixtures with smoky flavor and
follow the directions on the pack
ace. 1t is not essential that the
cured ham be smoked.
The surplus of fresh pork is the
predicament that brought on the
emergency hand-out of points.
However, they are valid for cured
meats, too, and there are large
supplies on hand.
RICE FURRY
An order putting ceiling on
rice from the field is waiting for
clearance. Rlce-groWers at the end
of November were getting 1876 per
cent of parity. This puts rice mil
lers in a squeeze between high
prices for Impressed rice a n d
ceilings on milled rice. They are
reported to be closing up shop in
great numbers. However, ri C e
growers do not want to take any
lower prices. So in the end you
may see retail prices increased if
no other adjustment can be made.
ODDS AND ENDS
Next years quotas of paper for
greeting cards. Wallpaper. and dis
nlay items are out for the first
three months with no cuts from
this years quota of 90 per cent
of base period usage. A freeze
on sweet potato prices has gone
through. The retailer will be al
lowed tc sell at no more than his
highest price between Dec. II and
Dec. 81. 1913. Linen supply
services must do away with such
frills as unnecessary hand-finish-
ing on ironed items, fancy packag-
ing, excessive pick-ups and deliv-
cries, overlapping coverage Of
territories by competing firms.

/ The procedure for rabies control is
in three steps, DR.. Schoening ex-
planned. First, strict licensing laws
must be passed and enforced. All
stray dogs must be picked up and,
finally, when case of rabies is re-
ported all other dogs that had con-
tact with the rabid animal must be
either destroyed or placed in rigid
quarantine.
If strict licensing laws were
passed and enforced, DR.. Schoening
said, it would lessen the number
of dog owners not able to care for
their pets.
The matter of picking up strays
is one OF equipment and personnel,
he said Adequate facilities to han
die and care for stray dogs must
be provided, and the personnel
must be available to work at the
job every day and not just when
| there is a rabies epidemic" DR..
Schoening said
By having these two safeguards
at work, DR.. Schoening said. it is
comparatively easy to trace the
movements of dog which may
become rabid. All facilities are then
available to control animals known
to have had contact with the rabid
animal

/ Arlington County health officer,
said that control of rabies by i'm

dogs and by strict spot quarantines
have proven efficient in the county:
DR.. Beachley said approximately
half of the county is now under
quarantine and the county is visited
daily by dog catcher whose duty
it is to pick up strays.
The quarantine by sections, he
said, entailed considerable work on
the part of the inspection staff, who
must visit each home in the re-
Istricted areas and instruct residents
as to the purpose of the quarantine

the various States to help curb
rabies. He said that while the bu-
reau had charge of livestock regu-
lations, dogs are not considered as
livestock under present laws.
Asserting that modern legislation
for the control of the disease is
needed, DR.. Schoening pointed to
the District "muzzling" law, which
he described as "antiquated" and
ineffective" in stopping the disease.
THE newspapers can do a real
service to dog lovers and their pets
