lowed those who are on sea duty or
outside the continental United
States, his wife may also postpone
her return if her own income is
less than $1,000. There are several
other special provisions applying to
members of the armed forces, and
Collector PenWell invites any serv-
ice personnel needing tax advice to
contact his office.
Forms, to Use
AS in the past years, there are two
income tax forms. Form lO40, COM
monty called the long FORM may
be used by any individual. Form
l040A, called the short FORM may
be used by individuals who (a) are
citizens or residents of the United
States, 10 had in 1943 $4,000 or
less income, and (c) received all
OF their income from salaries, wages,
bonuses, commissions, or other
form of personal compensation, or
from dividends, interest, and annui-
ties In the case of husbands and
wives filing separate returns, each
must use the same form. The short
form may be used as joint return
for husband and wife, if, in adj
dition to the other conditions for
using that form, they were living
together on July /, 1913, and their
combined income for the year did
not exceed $4,000
On or before January 81, 1914,
every employer is required to give
to each employee receipt on Form
W., showing how much wages were
paid the employee during l943, and
how much tax was withheld. These
receipts supply two important fig
ures needed for making the annual
return and the best time to pre-
pare and file the return is as soon
as the employee gets his receipt.
Collector PenWell also points out
that, he has mailed to all taxpay-
ers who filed returns in this dis
trict for 1912, notices showing the
amount Of each individuals 1912
tax and the amounts paid on that
tax. These are two additional fig
ures which icome tax payers will
need in the preparation of their
returns for l943. The notices should
be sent back to the Collector along
with the return.
How to Get Help
Many taxpayers, especially those
who use the short form, will not
need assistance in making their re-
turns. However, any taxpayer need
ing help may obtain it at the office
of the Collector of Internal Reve-
nue.. To avoid inconvenience and
delay, anyone needing assistance

Burnside rushed UP the hillsides, his

In this same book a story of In

along the Antietam. When Resale
was growing to womanhood, battle
between the Catawbas and Della
ware, Indian tribes, was fought. The
settler and his family fled to South
Mountain, where they hid them
selves. After the settler thought it
safe to return to the settlement, both
his wife and son died. Rosalie went
to stay with neighbors and drink
ing water from spring nearby, be-
came much better. Her recovery
was attributed to the water which
was that of Belinda Springs. She
went back to her father on Red Hill.
Then Catawba chief, a tall and
savage, saw her and
wanted to marry her. Orlando was
shot and killed as he sat by his cab
in. Resale was carried off by the
savage brave to his tribe and moth
ing more was ever heard of her.
