Scouts have collected scrap rubber, metal, tin cans, grease, books, mus1- cal instruments and nearly half billion pounds of waste paper.
 Scouts have produced model planes and ships and great quantities of food.
 Scouts have served as Civilian De- fense messengers, airplare spotters, fire watchers, in making surveys for the war housing agencies, in aiding Rationing Boards, Selective Service Boards, Community Chests, War Chests, Foreign Relief and in count less other ways.
 Scouts have carried out 47 proj- ects to date - all requested by the government - all resulting in real war power contributed by organized Boy Power. And that is some record to be proud of. Our Naugatuck Scouts and Cubs have answered every call made on them and have done a most outstanding job.
 Unusually outstanding is the rec OIu Ol OCOuI4lB O11 IAAC AS14tAAAS fronts. Of the first 800 Americans to be given decoration for gallan- try in action, 294 were former Scouts.
 This included such outstanding heroes as Colin Kelly, Jr., Johnny Bulkeley and Butch O'Hare. Of 5000 Sea Scouts selected by the Navy, 4,000 of these Scout-trained men hold commissions. Yes, we are proud of the kind of men scouting turns out"
 All those present at the meeting agreed to work on the financial committee and it was decided to invite in addition, E. Philip Walker, James F'arren, Phil Robinson, Glenn F. Noble, George Shamlian.
 MT. Chittenden said the local appeal for funds would start Mon day, February q, and continue through the balance of the month.

The time has come to clean up loose ends in connection with your income tax data, so that tomorrow we can discuss the blank itself. Two things promised in earlier articles remain to be explained.
 The first is in connection with use of part of your home to earn taxable income. This happens most commonly when a person does some or all of his work at home and is entitled to rental for the space he uses, and in the case of families that rent rooms. The method of computing expenses is the same in both cases. It can be shown best by taking typical case.
 Let's assume 8 family has a house with six rooms, of which one either is used as an office by the wage-earner or is rented to a roomer.
 If you rent your home, the com putation is simple. Add your actual expenditure for rent, heat, lights, telephone eff that is shared for busi- ness use), maid service (hired, not your own work), and any other out of-pocKeU expenses for malnJalnlng the house or apartment. Divide the total by six (the number of roomS) to get the expense of providing the room used for business, or rented. You can charge depreciation on the cost of the furnishings of the room. The Bureau of Internal Revenue re- kards 1Go a year as a fair overall rate of depreciation for this purpose
 If you own the house yourself, instead of rent you should include the necessary expenses which, in your cost of living, take the place of paying rent. In that case you can charge depdeciation on the house. In the case of brick building, de-

By the Way
BETH BLAINE.

Do you know what happens
when there isn't enough blood
plasma sent to the front? Our
boys-yes, yours and mine
are bled on their way into battle.
The very men who are giving
thir lives for us, give their blood
first so that they and their COM
rades may survive. Makes you
feel kind of ashamed, doesn't it?
Here we are at home-warm and
well fed. and except for a few
minor inconveniences, luxurious
and spoiled and really pretty
pampered. There isn't much
point in telling you that if you're
a normal healthy person giving
a pint of blood takes less than an
hour out of your life, and that
the entire procedure is SO simple
and easy that scores of men and
women find they can go to the
Blood Donor Center and give
that precious pint during their
lunch hour.
One of the most. hard working
volunteers at the Blood Donor
Center here is Mrs. Herbert j.
Hermann recently appointed as
sistant to the director. For the
past two years she has been in
charge of the medical records
which doctors consider second in
Importance only to the actual
donors themselves. Mrs. Herr
mann did a splendid job-she got
the volunteers, ran the whole set
up and worked like a beaver her
self three or four full days a
week, and good many evenings.
Proudly Mrs Hermann told us
that the Blood Donor Center
made their quota for whole blood
(Which is being flown directly to
France) last week. Let's all pitch
together and help them keep up
that quota every week for whole
blood and plasma too. We don't
want those soldiers of ours to be
told that the reason they are
asked to give their blood, not
once, but twice, Is because the
folks back home aren't giving
theirs. Do We?
