Lakes Show
Winter Drop

LANSING, Feb. 23.-During
the mid-December to mid-Janu-
ary period, ground water levels
showed for the first time the eff
feet of the winter drought by
dropping 80 feet, the greatest
decline for this period in nine
years, the conservation depart
ment's geological survey has re-
ported.
In this period water levels
dropped .25 feet more than any
previous December-January de-
cline and were % feet lower
than the record January high
stage of 1912.
January was the first month
since the all-month record high
of June, 1943, when ground wa
ter levels failed to set record
high stage for the month.
Great Lakes levels also show
ed apparent effects of the
drought in January, according to
United States Lake Survey fig
ureS. The decline in the level of
Lake Superior was AZ feet, not
as great a decline as last year
but more of a drop than the
average of .25 feet. Lakes Michi-
gan and Huron dropped .28 feet
as compared with a gain of 90
feet in 1943. Lakes st. Clair,
Erie and Ontario also showed a
greater decline in January than
for the same period last year.

Reports On
Fish Study

John z. Pelton, fish manage
ment agent in District No. 7, has
recently completed a report on
a fish study made by the Ohio
Division of Conservation and
Natural Resources in the Scioto
river. The object was to find out
the movement of fish, what kind
and sizes are present through
out the year and in what num-
bers they occur. Along with this
the study included the best
method to use in catching fish,
turbidity of the river through
out the year, etc.
In answer to the question, do
fish go upstream in the spring
and downstream in the fall?"
the Pelton report says: I'VE
found a downstream movement
in the fall. Ninety fish were
caught in late August and 169
taken in September. The bulk
consisted of the following spe-
cies: golden mullet, short red
horse sucker, gizzard shad, river
carp sucker, white nose sucker
and quillback. These species
seem to come down in abundance
in the order given. Throughout
the winter months our total
catch was 975 although we
caught a nice variety of species.
The fish seemed to move locally
and remain as residents of GER
tain areas of the stream. In the
spring, starting with March,
there was a definite upstream
movement Of golden mullet,
shorthead redhorse sucker, chan
mel catfish, river carp sucker,
white nose sucker and spotted
bass. These fish did not come up
stream in any definite order,
such as one species preceding
another"
The report reveals many in
teresting facts, based upon tests
made in the Scioto below Colum-
bus. Among these is Mr.. Pelton's
statement that the large popu-
lation of coarse fish is not being
fully utilized by fishermen, even
though trotline fishing in lower
reaches of the Scioto is quite
prevalent.

10Th DAY OF the tOufLn mOntn al
States. One stationed in the
United States must file return
on or before March Is, 1914.
Anyone in either class whose
ability to pay has been impaired
by reason of military service,
may defer payment until six
months after discharge from the
service by attaching a letter to
the return explaining therein
the reason for the inability to
pay.
In addition to the normal ex-
emption of $500 for a single
person or $1,000 for a married
person or head of a family,
members of the armed services
may exclude all income from
the service up to $500 per year.
Up to the first $500 of income
per year, from the service need
not be reported.
Forgiven by Death
If person dies in service, re-
gardless of cause, all tax for the
year in which the death occurs
is forgiven. Any part already
paid is refundable to the estate
and a claim for it should be
made. In addition any unpail
tax for prior years is forgiven.
But taxes for prior years al
ready paid are not refundable.
Members of the armed serv-
ices are entitled to the same
deductions as are civilians. The
cost of uniforms is not deduct
able, but that of special items
such as Sam Browne belts, epa-
ulets, campaign bars, etc, is.
No part of the allotment made
to a wife or other dependent is
income to the recipient and need
not be reported by the person
receiving it. However, that por-
ton taken from the pay of the
person in service is income to
that person.
1t is not known yet whether
members of the armed services
will have to file an estimated
return for 1914 or pay the
estimated tax.
Pay Forgiven" Tax
People in the armed services
must pay the unforgiven portion
of the 1912 tax, just as do civil
lians. However, in figuring this
tax, each member of the service
may and should compute the
1912 return. For all earned in
come may be excluded in the
recomputation. This means all
income received from personal
services rendered. Thus, any
person whose sole income in
1912, in civilian life, was from
personal services, will have the
1912 tax forgiven and be en-
titled to a refund of any portion
already paid, if a return is filed
showing and claiming the re-
fund. Wives of soldiers should
see to it that the husbands 1912
return is recomputed and the
refund is claimed.
BY law, all civilian income in
1912 up to $4,000, regardless of
source, is considered as earned
income for members of the
armed services.
Owes No Taxes
All this means that (1) any
single person now in service
who earned $4,000 or less in
1912, may owe no 1912 tax and
may be entitled to a refund,
(2) any married person or head
of family now in service who
earned $4,000 or less in 1912,
may owe no 1912 tax and may
be entitled to a refund, 90 no
tax may be owed on 1943 in
come from the armed services
up to $4,000 for single persons
or up to $270O for married per-
sons or head of family.
Thus it can be said safely
that wage earners now in serv.

National
Supply
CREDIT UNION

We are proud to announce the
organization of a Federal Credit
Union in the National Supply,
which is ready to operate and
bring its members the same
benefits which those in many
other plants of Local IL have
enjoyed for the past several
years.
Purpose of the credit union is
to encourage thrift. Moreover, it
gives its members the oppor-
tunity to borrow money at a
much lower rate of interest than
they can secure it from a fl
nance company.
Members of the board of di-
rectors are Delbert Sager, presi-
dent; Dale Brown, vice presi-
dent; Vern Emminger, treas
urer; Charles Kraizinski, clerk;
Edward Swan, educational chair
man; Leo Allen, Ray Marmon
and Robert Johns, supervisory
committee; Robert Smith, John
Benner and Robert Porter, credit
committee.
AROUND THE SHOP
Congratulations to Bob Furry,
who is the proud father of a
seven pound baby boy. Also con-
gratulations to Mrs. Furry.
Why is it that the boss "Cassi-
nova" Schmeling doesn't hardly
speak to any of his crew on the
night force? Could it have any
thing to do with a valentine
which was sent?
We are all glad to see Bert
Strayer back at work. He has
fully recovered from his frac-
tured leg and is ready to 90
again.
Harry Henderson has been
overtaken by paternity. He is
the boastful parent of a 912
pound baby girl. Naturally, we
think that the major share of
credit should 60 to Mrs. Hender-
son, and we give it to her along
with our best wishes for her and
the little one.
Eddie Dressed, Jr., who was
home recently on furlough, paid

the fastest, Willie Davis or Ho-
mer WilguS, the latter collected
but one vote while Willie came
up with 40. Now they are saying
that Homer voted for himself
We don't know if it was secret
ballot or not.
Remember the 1875 model
straw hat in Dept. 40? Now we
are trying to figure out if it's
a new timekeeper or the same
straw hat.
Eddie Collins was operated on
yesterday at RobinWood hospital.
Wait until a few days go by,
until he is feeling better, and
then stop in and see this swell

pany a lot
One of the boys in Dept. 38,
one we believed would never

For all his experience with

Maxi General
 Dies At Front

London, June 30- (Up) - The death of Colonel General Friedrich Dollmann, commander of German forces on the Normandy front, was announsced today in a special order of the day issued by Adolf Hitler and broadcast over the Berlin radio
 A Nazi Transocean news agency version of Hitlers order gave nc details of Dollmann's death, except that 1t occurred on Tuesday.
 Dollman was the sixth German general to die on the Norman front sinre D-Day, by Berlin's own count. The others were Maj. Gen Stegman, Lieut.. Gen. Heinz He'll mich, Maj. Gen. Witt. Lieut.. Gen Erich Marcks, and Maj. Gen Salley.
 It was the first direct indication that Field Marshal Erwin Rommel was not in direct command of Nag troops opposing the British and American invasion armies in north- ern France.
 The 62-year-old Bavarian-born Dollman was a relatively obscure figure in the German high com mand. At the outbreak of the wal in 1889. he was placed in command of the German 7th Army in the west and led the 7th when 1t broke through the Maginot line to capture Cherbourg in May, l940.
 After the fall of France, he ap- parently was placed in command of the German divisions along the channel coast and charged with the defense of that area.
