TWAS DIFFERENT IN THE OLD
DAYS

The war has brought about a
change in the ways of life in every
township in the United States. MIL
lions of men and women left their
Jobs to go into the armed forces.
Housewives are employed in wal
work. Boys and girls are at work Tor
the first time in their lives. Older
people have gone back to work under
the urge of patriotic motives.
Before the war IL million persons
were engaged in agriculture, includ-
ing forestry and fishing. Manufacture
ing, from food processing to the as
sembly of automobiles and locomo-
tives, employed 100000. Mining
construction, transportation and pub
lie utilities employed 100000
Wholesale and retail trade, restau-
rants and filling stations, banking
real estate and insurance, and repair
services employed 100000. EN-
pIoyment in Federal, State, and Local
governments, including 5000 4
school teachers, totaled 100000.
Service and miscellaneous jobs and
professions, including doctors, law
yers, ETC., gave a livelihood to s.
100000.
Today there are more persons en-
ployed in the Government than there
were in the Federal service and in
the Army and Navy before the war.
In those pre-war days, employment
in manufacturing accounted for one
out of four persons.
The above is quick picture OF
where people were in peacetime
America, 24@ in agriculture;' "a per
cent in manufacturing; Is per cent
in service and miscellaneous; IL pei
cent in mining, public utilities, trans
portation and construction; 16 pei
cent in trade distribut o n G
finance; per cent in Government,
and l per cent in the armed forces.
That is TIE way peacetime America
rounded out it's team" of workers.
It's up to every American to stand
by the war effort as long as it lasts
and our country forever!!

COP GOVERNORS MEET

Recently there was session ano
participating therein were twenty
six Republican Governors whose
purpose was frankly to adapt proce.
dhres to advance the candidacy OF
one of them-Thomas E. Dewey OF
New York-for the Presidency.
1t has been the declared theory OF
the Republican spokesman to insist
that the war situation and program
should not be any part of the politi-
cal campaign Yet about every action
by twenty-six state executives was
aimed against the Commander-in-
Chief of our armed forces.
A generation ago, in 1917 to be
exact, there was another meeting oil
State Governors. Forty-eigkt of them
participated. The session was helG
at the White House and it's purpose
was to pledge every assistance ano
support the states could contribute
to the conduct of the other war
Then, as now, politics was at fever
heat. There were twenty Republi
cans among the assembled Governors
including Calvin Coolidge of Massa
ckusetts, who was destined a few
years later to occupy the seat OF
Woodrow Wilson, to whom they were
extending their declaration of sup
port in the business of beating the
Germans in the shortest possible
time and compelling peace tina,
would save us form having to fighl
overseas again. They were perhaps
as stoutly opposed to the continue
ton of Democratic administration
as were the twenty-six who the Other
day at St. Louis beat the tom-toms
for Mr.. Dewey.
The difference was that the total
gubernatorial group in 1917-Demo-
Gratis, Republican and Independents
were resolved that nothing SHOULD
be done to embarrass the then Com
mander-in-C Chief in his direction OF
the war.

viously, the entire 100000 re-
funds cannot be completed at the
same time and some taxpayers must
wait another few months.
However, million checks are be-
ing distributed every three weeks
and SO you can see that, in your case
you may get your refund fairly soon. -
Collector George Hofferbert sug-
gested that taxpayers refrain from
writing letters to inquire about their
efunds, because, in fairness to all
taxpayers, the checks are being writ
ten in the order in which they are
mechanically processed, and it is i'm
possible to determine the status OF
any Individual case without disrupt
ing and slowing up the whole pro-
cedure.
However, if a taxpayer has chang
ed his address since he filed his re-
urn, he should advise the collector
Of both his old and new addresses.

ceived AAA payments, which includ-
ed parity payments for wheat and
corn, incentive payments for pota-
toes and truck crops, and payments

building soil fertility to increase per
acre yields of essential war foods.

bert, Collector of Internal Revenue,
said refund checks are being mailed
to taxpayers of the Maryland district
at the rate of $500 per week
ITO every taxpayer of tbs district
who is entitled to refund on his
1943 return, would like to say"
Collector Hofferbert stated, your
refund is being processed as rapidly
as possible. / cannot tell you exactly
when your refund will come through,
because it might be today and it
might not be for a few months. But
can promise you that you will be
paid interest at the rate of six per
cent per year for every month your
refund is delayed after Marct. is.
Throughout the country we have
about 100000 refunds to make.
In each case, the return must be COM
pared with the employers withhold
ing tax receipts and other documents.
In many cases, returns contain err
rors tkat must be corrected.
This involves a trem d 8
amount of work that must be done
with q comparatively small stan, due
to wartime manpcwer shortages. OBJ
