Item 4-Jones has a young Gan-
ghter, named Mary. SO he wrote
her name down and. as the form;
directs. wrote his credit of 1855
over in the money column.
Item 5-He substracted the cred
it he got for Mary from the 'ast
figure.
zItem 6-He turned over the
form and looked over the boxes at
the top Of the page to see which
one fit him. No. 4 was ''it," and
he put a check mark there. THAI
meant that Jones would find his
income tax in column G Of the Ia
BILE. Jones figure in Item 8 on
mite front page was 1920. He
looked in the table for a line wnere
| that figure would fit. He found
a line which said over $2,225 but
not over s2,25O", and then looked
across to Column C, where it said
$3.50. That is Jones income tax
and he wrote it in Item s or the
front page.
Item This time, Jones had to
do some figuring at the bottom of
the back page, where it says VIC
tory tax" On line "a" he copied
the figure he had in Item 3 on the
other side, which was $2,625. On
line ID" he put his victory tax ex-
emption of 1924. Then he snb-
tracted and put tn Difference Of
80, 001 on line &C.. Then Jones
4 noticed the two-line table of per-
centages. found the percentage
which fit him married, one de-
pendentl. and put a circle around
it. His percentage was 80. lie
was a little rusty on decimals, so
he looked in the examples to see
how to multiply $2,001 by .029, and
again the examples helped him
move the decimal points around to
the right places. This arithmetic
showed him his victory tax was
$500. and he wrote that figure
in Tenn Z on the front page.
Item She added the two taxes
together and found the tax on his
1943 income was $217.03.
Item 9-He already had made a
note of the fact that his income
tax for 1912 was sS4.17, and he
wrote it down here.
item 10-The figure in item 3
was bigger than the figure in item
9, SO he put the item 8 figure of
s217.03 here.
Item 11-Since the item 9 figure
was smaller, he put that figure in
item liza. Next he had to figure
three-fourths of sS4.17, which is

Enthusiastic Audience
 Greets BOB Premiere,
 SRO at War Bond Show

An enthusiastic all G.I. audience greeted the premiere of the Battle of Bradley" at the Windsor Locks USO, Friday evening, a week ago. Last night the show had it's sixth performance with the staff and pa- tients of the Base Hospital as an audience.
 Featuring thirteen original songs that had the audience humming, the show was paced by the fast moving comedy of S/Sgt. Hank Holzheimer, S/Sgt. Pete Luddy and Sgt. Jim Luddy. The "in-person" appearance of Joe Seaha, proprie- tor of Joe's Lunch, across from the Main Gate, came as a surprise to the audience who greeted his thea trical debut with cheers.
 On Saturday evening the Battle of Bradley" played to standing room only with the house showing the SRO sign at 1900 hours, a half hour before show time. Over one hundred civilians who wished to see the special War Bond benefit per- formance were turned away due to a lack of seating facilities at the local USO. Following the perfor- nance MT.

Introducing the Winner" Pfc. Sam Paidey AC, the lucky Brad ley Field soldier is seen in the above photo receiving a $25 war bond at the Victory Party held at the Hartford Y.M.C.A. each Sun day evening. Mrs. Phoebe Hines, senior hostess of the party, is pre- senting it to him (incidentally, Mrs. Hines is the wife of Sergeant Ben Hines who received his pre- liminary training at Bradley Field. Ben met Phoebe at Victory Party huff said).
 The winning of the bond is not casual event-it happens every Sunday through the generosity of the young people who attend the party. Here's how. At 2230 each Sunday evening the Victory Party holds a victory dance. Everyone except the service men are asked to buy at least one 10 cent war stamp as an admission ticket to the victory dance.
 The young ladies and young men hit upon the idea of donating the stamps they purchase to bond fund for a lucky soldier. These stamps are accumulated until there are enough for bond and then

Tooke, with the aid of T/Sgt. Bill Ward, who plays a principal part in the show, raffied off sixteen twenty-five dollar War Bonds.
 Scenery, props and cast of the "aBttle of Bradley" moved into the Rocky Hill Veterans Home at Rocky Hill, Conn.,, on Tuesday to entertain soldiers of World Wars l and II, while on Wednesday evening the stage at the West Hartford High School was the scene of ac- tion. Admission to the West Hart ford show was by the purchase of a one hundred dollar War Bond and full house attended.
 On Thursday evening the show was again presented at the Wind sor Locks USO so that the G.I.'s who could not attend the opening night and civilians who were turn ed away from Saturdays show might get a chance to see Bradley Fields own musical comedy.
 Having worked far into the night for the past month both re- hearsing and presenting the show, the cast will take a well-deserved rest during the coming week after which tentative plans have been made to present the BOB. again for those G.I.s who missed the oth- CT performances.

donated to the lucky soldier at one of the Sunday evening parties. So tar serviceman has received at least one bond each Sunday even- ing for the last ten weeks.
 So, boys, why don't you plan to attend the next Sunday Victory Party? Who knows, you may win the bond that evening. Check thru and find out if there is a convoy going to the Y that evening and if there is be sure and get aboard.
 The party starts at 1915 and there is always plenty of fun. The committee in charge has purpose ly kept the parties on very in- formal basis. Plenty of charming young ladies will be present to act as your dancing partners and, in- cidentally, each Sunday evening Ivan Whites band will be present to furnish music for you from 20O0 to 2330 hours. If you do not dance, there is table tennis, movies, group singing, refresh ments, and an opportunity to have a charcoal portrait made of your self free.

Major Alex. H. Miller
 World War 1 Veteran

One of the biggest factors in maintaining the morale of the Ar my, say the authorities on the sub ject, is the prompt regular and full payment of all pay and allowances due the men. To see that this factor is adequately taken care of is the duty of the Base Finance Officer, Major Alexander H. Miller.
 A native of Glasgow, Scotland, the Major came to Montreal, Can ada, with his parents three decades ago. It was in that city that he was educated and began his career. In the summer of 1912, he was work ing in a bank in Montreal and had for a co-worker Joachim von Rib- bentrop, now Foreign Minister of the Third Reich. Won Ribbentrop was at that time ostensibly study ing Canadian banking.
 In World War I, Alexander Mil Ter joined the McGill Canadian Off, ficers Training Corps at his alma mater, McGill University. Later he enlisted in the Canadian Army Service Corps of the Canadian Ex- peditionary Forces.
 Not long after the close of hos tilities, he moved to the United States, where, in 1926, he became citizen. Three years later, it was End It. Miller, ED, when he ac- cepted a Reserve Commission. Tax ing an immediate interest in mili- tary affairs he became Vice Presl- dent of the First Corps Area Coun- cil of the Reserve Officers Associa- ton of the United States, the off, cial organization of the Officers Re- serve Corps. He was on active duty with the ORC. from 1883 to 1888 serving with the Second and Sixth C.C.C. Districts as District Fiscal and Finance Officer, and as Post Finance Officer, Fort Ethan Allen, Vt.
 Under the provisions of the Ma tional Defense Act, he was called to active duty in November, 194O, and went immediately to Washing ton to serve as Assistant Executive Officer to the Chief of Finance. Aft CT year at that post, he flew by Clipper to Lisbon, thencee, by plane, to London to take up his duties as Assistant Military Attache to the Court of St James.
 Tn June, 1942, the Major became Finance Officer for the First Bom- bardment Wing, (Heavy) Bomber Command of the Eighth Air Force. He remained at this post during those days in which the Eighth Air Force was growing to fill the vital role it plays in the war today. Leaving that assignment in Sep tember, 1943, Major Miller was flown back to the States, where, after brief periods of temporary drtv at Washington and Atlantic City, he came to Bradley Field to assume his present position.
