THE OUTSTANDING 160 ACRE
FARM IN THIS SECTION
When you want to buy a suit
of clothes, a horse, COW or a
piece of furniture, haven't you
always found that, in the end,
it is cheaper to buy the best?
The same thing applies to
farm, only more so, as a good
farm, well located, is always
saleable and will continue to
increase in value as the country
improves. Right at the front
door of Ell Centro is this 160
acres! Only q miles south of
the city limits of Ell Centre,
formerly known as the Gebbie
ranch. If you have been here
very long, you know the place.
This ranch is not only known
as very heavy producer but is
so beautifully situated that it
demands the attention and envy
of most everyone who drives
along the highway. If land
around Salinas and jacksonville
is worth 100000 per acre; and
if orange groves are selling from
$25O0.0O to 100000 per acre in
Orange county: Then I ask you,
if such a ranch as this one is
not worth the price? Suppose
you pay $4,000 or $4,000 per
acre more to get the best, what
does that amount to, with mon
ey at SO? 1t means that you
only have to make $3.50 to $500
per acre more, per year. Get the
record of the production of this
place from the man who owned
1t for 25 years.
The price is $4,000 per acre,
on reasonable terms, if desired.

able. The motors on most of them
were worn out. The Herman
Goering squadron had superiority
and even when the Americans were
able to get to IL planes in the
air at time in several instances
only one would return to the field.
Despite the strain, the pilots refused
to give up and took of in anything
that would fly them to where they
could aid the men on the ground.
At Pantelleria, the group was the
only air force. Messerschmitts
came over 35 at a time and dive
bombed the American air strips.
Still, the ground forces and pilots
worked together to keep vital re-
connaissance and patrol planes in
the skies.
The landing at Sicily was all done
from the air. with the group taking
over an airfleld built by the combat
engineers under fire. Immediately,
bombing and strafing missions
against the enemy were begun.
The landing at Salerno, Italy,
found the group in another tight
spot. They were held on the beach,
head as reserve infantry, but for
tunately the tide of battle turned
and they were able to move on to
an airfield and begin operations.

SETTLEMENT IN
 $3O,OOO SUIT
Workman Painfully, Per- nlanentIy Injured When
 Metal Drum Exploded

A settlement out of court was reached today in the $30,OO0 civil action brought by Stanley Chesnas of Waterbury against the Apothe- carries Hall Co. The litigation, based on injuries sustained July g, 1922 when a metal drum exploded. had been scheduled for a jury hearing in superior court today. Terms of settlement were not disclosed.
 The plaintiff, an employe of the Chesnas Auto Body Co. on South Main street, was welding a metal tag to a huge metal drum when the explosion occurred. Ire drum was one of several delivered by the defendant concern to the South Main street garage for the welding work. It was alleged the drum. which had contained alcohol, had not been proper,y cleaned and gas still remained inside. The explosion occurred when an electric torch was applied.

army in strong position every where from the Baltic to the Black Sea for what may be the final drive against Germany.
 The Russians are banking on AL lied invasion from the west to coin eide with their own greatest offen- sive and crush the Germans be- tween two mighty forces.
 The Russians believe that if the Allied attack is on the scale expect ed, there is every prospect of knock ing Hitler out this year. Allied ac- tivity in the west and south already has drawn all but about one fifth of German air strength from the eastern front.
 It is the Russian expectation that the opening of a full scale front in the west will collapse German land strength ill the east.
 Even if the Germans achieve greatly shortened front against Rus sia and do not have to make fatal | withdrawal of front line divisions, it is considered extremely unlikely that they will be able to furnish any reserves or replacements to meet an intensified Russian drive at several points on the long front.
 The usual Hull in fighting is ex- pected when the spring breakup comes and may be about to start ir the lower Ukraine. There should be at least six weeks or two months o1 good fighting weather ahead in the north, however, and by the time the ground begins to soften there, con- ditions will be ready for 8 renewed Russian smash in the south.
 Thus the Germans are not likely to have the advantage of any gen. eral breathing space. Before summer comes in the north, they may bt showed clear back to the Baltic placing the Russians within reason able striking distance of their home soil in east Prussia.

PAPER SALVAGE
 URGED LOCALLY
School Children to Re- sur1e Collections Next
 Week After Holidays

Sewing of scrap paper by house. holders of Waterbury this week is urged by salvage authorities who have pointed out a weeks accumu- lation cannot be too large to save in somO section of each home until next week when school children will return to their regular collection routine. With schools closed this week the chilrden are not making the usual weekly collection.
 Further discussion of a plan to have solicitation for dormant scrap paper made by servicemen who are stationed near Waterbury will take place at Fridays meeting of the Civilian Services board. By dormant paper is meant all such scrap paper as old letters, receipts, cancelled checks and vouchers, etc. The plan is to have the servicemen solicit the paper while the city will furnish transportation and carriage of the collection.

The first $500 of pay received by any member of the armed forces is completely tax free. This is in addi- tion to the normal personal exemp- tion and all other credits and de- ductionS.
 This exemption can be applied, however, only against service pay. If there is any left over it is lost; 1t can not be used against income from other sources.
 Service pay includes everything received for services, including base pay plus increments for fly ing and foreign service and length of membership in the armed forces. It does not include allowances for subsistence, quarters, travel or uni- form, and 1t does not include the Governments contribution toward support of a service mans depen- dents. These all are tax free. On the other hand, taxable service pay is figured without deducting voluntary or family allotments.
 Where service pay, thus figured, is not more than $500, treat it as 70" in Item 1, page 1. In answer to question 6, at the foot of page 3, report 1t as tax-exempt income.
 The service person can not be- duct, as a business expense, any, thing that takes the place of civilian equipment.
 SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
 The other major consideration for service people which has not been discussed is in connection with the Forgiveness" of 1942 income taxes. This is figured differently for per- sons in the armed service of any United Nation than for civilians, to help make up for their financial sacrifices.
 If you were in the armed service at any time during 1942 or 1943, and your 1943 tax is smaller than your 1922 tax was, then do these things:
 O Hunt up a copy of your 1922 tax return, or your working papers, and recompute the 1942 tax.
 If your 1942 income tax was $3O00 or less, eliminate 1t all. This makes your recomputed 1942 tax %"
 If your 1942 income was more than 5000. eliminate all of it that shows in Item 1, page 1 (1942 re- turn) up to minimum of $14,0OO. If your 1922 earned income-Itefn 1. page 1ib-was more than $14,OOO subtract $14,O0O from 1t.
 Now with the new figure as Item l, page l. recompute your 1942 tax. For most persons following these ar- ucles the tax will become "O".
 In making the recomputation, you can not take any earned in- come credit utem 25, page D be-

LOCAL SOLDIER
 MAILS REQUEST
Private Kenny Interested in New Soldiers Voters
 Application Blank
(NEA Raoio ophotoJ

Private First Glass Robert T. Kenny, 1785 East Main street, now stationed at the Newark Army Air Base is the, first Waterbury service man to request, by mail, the for warding of an application for 8 member of the U. s. Armed Services to be made voter, 8 supply Of which is now on hand at the Town Clerks office. Private Kenny's request for application was re- ceived this morning by Town Clerk Mrs Mary c. Kilnartin who today stated that she immediately for warded the necessary papers to the soldier.
 This is the eleventh application request received at the local office, but the other ten were applied for and filled out when Waterbury serv- icemen appeared personally at the office.
 Mrs. Kilmartin today urged that all parents and relatives of men and women now in the armed service contact her or her office and leave the proper forwarding address of those armed forces members who are of voting age and have not previously been sworn in. All mail ing of applications will be done by the Town Clerk.
 The procedure calls for check on the applicants qualifications which if found satisfactory consti- tute his automatically being regis tered on the city's voting list. Imme- diate attention to the matter is stressed particularly as it affords ample time for voting authorities to prepare list of those to whom absentee ballots will be forwarded following official nomination of candidates and the issuance of the ballots.
 Relative to servicemen or women, home on furlough and desirous of filling out such an application, the Town Clerk pointed out that the details involved are simple and take but moment. It is provided by law that the hours for handling such matters for servicemen are, by law, now designated as to suit the convenience of the individual and are not restricted to a definite period as is the case in civilian matters.

Careless Folk Costs Lives

Seattle, Wash, Feb. g. (Up)- LooSe-talking civilians and military personnel gave the Japanese in- formation as to the exact date of the American invasion of Kiska Island, permitting the enemy to evacuate his garrison and large quantities of material, Mai. Albert J. Stowe, an army intelligence of- 1icer, said today.
 Stowe, personnel representative of Gen. Clayton Russell, assistant chief of staT, army intelligence, said advance knowledge of the Kiska attack was common from Seattle to anchorage, Alaska, and unauthorized persons both military and civilian openly discussed the date, Aug. IS.
 "As a result, the Japs got out voluntarily" he said. Not one re- mained on the island when oul troops arrived. Some scattered machine gun fire the day before reported by our reccnnaissanct myers, indicated presence of hos. tue troops then.

cause your earned income all has been written off.
 2. On your 1943 return, line IT, page 4, note in parentheses the 1942 tax as 1t was before recompu- tation, but then forget it. Write in the recomputed 1922 tax, probably "0'', and use that from now on. OTHER STEPS TO TOAKE
 3. On line IS, the larger of the two years taxes undoubtedly now will be that for 1943.
 4. In line 19 (a), instead of en. tering the smaller of the two years taxes, as the instructions say, you should enter the tax for 1S4S, taken from line 18.
 5. If the amount on line 19 a,) is not more than $66.67, write $50 on line 19 (b). If the amount on line 19 (a) is more than $66.67, take three-fourths of it for line 19 (b).
 6. Subtract 19 (b) from 19 (a) to get 19 (c).
 The foregoing is for the benefit of those who suffered financial loss in 1943 by reason of their presence in the armed service.
 For those service people whose 1943 tax is greater than that for 1942-even though the increase may be due to the changed tax structure rather than to enlarged income the tax forgiveness item must be figured the same as for civilians. DEATH CANCELS DEBT
  One more thing:
 When any member of the armed forces of any United Nation dies during this war in active service. all his income tax liabilities auto- matically are cancelled.
 His estate owes no taxes on in- come for the year in which he died, and any back taxes, interest. assessments or penalties which may have hung over his head are written off.
 If, by chnace, the mans family paid any such taxes or other lia- bilities after he died, they can claim refund of the amount paid. The next article will deal with the separate returns of a service man and his wife.

NURSING SERVICE
 CONDUCTS SURVEY
State Nurses More Active. ly Engaged in Plant
 Safety Program

All Connecticut plants providing nursing service participated in a na- tionwide survey of the duties of nurses in industry conducted during lS42-4S. One hundred thirty-one Connecticut plants, employing over 285,0O0 workers were surveyed.
 The findings in Connecticut close ly paralleled those of the National survey conducted by the U. s. Pub lie Health Service and Public Health Nursing Section of the American Public Health Association. The chief differences were in the amount of nursing supervision given and in participation in plant safety pro- grams. Local nurses were more &C., lively participating in plant safety programs. but were receiving less supervision than in the Nation as a whole.
 Nursing service is given under medical direction. Only 8 per cent of the plants surveyed employed full time physicians. The others pro- vided medical service by part time, or on call physicians. Although 63 per cent of the workers were -..i- ployed by medium sized plants hav- ing between 500 and 2490 employees, there were fewer nurses ot care fol these employees than in either the very large or very small plants.
 Industrial nursing service in Con- necticut preceded that of the reSi of the country. The first service of this type was provided by one plant in 1910. Since then, and un- der the impetus of World War I and II, industrial nursing service has ex. banded to its present level of A, nurses employed in 131 plants.
