4-H Girls Learn
To Select, Make
And Care For Dur
able ssV" Clothes

Rural women have learned during
the war that wise economy is good
taste. In short, choosing materials
to make durable, easily cared for
garments will reward any extra effort
in tanning an appropriate, economical
and healthful wartime wardrobe.
To keep pace, many All Club girls
in this state are enrolling in the
1914 National All Victory Dress Re-
vue, conducted by the Extension

Income Tax Refunds

Joseph ID. Nunan, Jr., Commission
er of Internal Revenue announces
that the one millionth refund on
1913 individual income tax has been
made. However, he cautions taxayers
that it will take several months be-
fore the remainder of the 1943 re-
funds can be completed. Each refund
check will be mailed as soon as pos
sible by the regional disbursing office
of the Treasury Department in the
taxpayers own district
In view of numerous inquiries
from taxpayers as to when they can
expect their refunds, Commissioner
ment:
at is estimated that approximate
ly 1S,000,OO0 taxpayers are entitled
to refunds on their 1943 income tax
returns. 1t is our duty and intention
to make these refunds as rapidly as
possible"
First attention was given to the
claims of members of the armed
forces. Now refunds to civilians are
being made in large numbers.
This is such big job that obvious
ly it's completion will take several
months The preliminary steps before
making refunds of any amounts paid
or withheld in excess of the liability
reported on these returns involve the
assembling, checking, and comparing
of nearly two hundred million docu-
tax receipts and declarations of esti-
mated tax. Every means possible is
being utilized to expedite the hand
ling of the task as a whole.
