It's Your Turn Next

The Libby Woman's Club has
again agreed to sponsor the war
bond drive and plans are now being
laid for the fifth drive. The women
accepted this responsibility for the
second time only after no other
organization could be secured to
take up the work. The county
chairman asked several other
groups to assume this very neces-
sary task, but all Of them refused.
Can it be asked whether or not
some of our organizations are fall
ing down on the job? Surely this
work is a highly patriotic one. Any
organization should be proud to
have a hand in it. If the~nation is
to win this war, the necessary mon
ey must be raised. Someone has to
supervise the job.
There are number of organiza-
tons in Libby that could help out.
1t is suitable project for any
lodge, club or similar organization.
AS an example, the American Lee
gion and Auxiliary in Eureka will
sponsor the fifth drive in that To-
cality. In Libby the Lions club has
sponsored two drives. This witt be
the second one for the Woman's
club. There will probably be an
other drive about next fall. Better
start figuring on it for it's your
turn next.

What Does It

page of this issue and read the
double-colu feature, why We

Jack j. Zurofsky who is fighting
in the Mediterranean area.
Beyond doubt it is one of the very
best essays on that subject that this
war has brought forth. World War

me if this excellent article by Cpl.
Zurofsky would be classed as one OF
the outstanding literary productions
fathered by the present world
struggle. The thought and faith in
it is magnificent; the literary skill
is Of the highest
contrast the loyal patriotic
sentiments expressed by this soldier
with that | recently heard from one
who had asked a number of Ameri-
can boys what they were fighting
for. Many of them did not seem
to know, or feel the deeper mean
ing of this struggle. Their answer
was that they fought to keep from
getting killed. The answer OF an
animal that seeks to preserve its
life. But Cpl Zurofsky expresses
the high idealism, the precious priv
ilege, the great prizes that are
wrapped up in American citizenship
He undoubtedly can sense the feel
ing of the Roman citizen of ofd

UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER

Mr.. Churchill performed a USE
full bit of photography in his war
report to Parliament. "Uncon.
ditional surrender" is a term
that needs definition and b e
British Prime Minister offered a
clear, concise and simple defini-
ton when he said:
:. The term does not
mean that h e German people
will be enslaved or destroyed. 1t
means that the Allies will not
be bound to them at the moment
of surrender by any pact or obi
cation.
The German people will have
to trust US. when their armies are
beaten. to pursue the course we
think best for all without having
US state that course in advance
of their surrender. They will
have to acknowledge their defeat
this time to themselves ae we'll as
to US and not. as they did in 1918
and afterward, pretend t h ey
were tricked into an armistice.
the footnote to Mr.. Churchill's
definition may be useful among
the Allied peoples. In America
and Britain there are people who
argue that Unconditional sur
render" is a frightening phrase
that will make the German people
fight to end. These people may

When they are sure they are

What Servicemen Are REQUIRED
To Do About Their Income Tax

Harold N. Graves, Acting Com
missioner of Internal Revenue,
announced t b At special efforts
will be made to expedite refunds
due to members of armed forces
on their 1913 income tax returns.
The law requires members of
the armed forces who are station
ed in this country to file income
tax returns by March Is on about
the same basis as civilians. How
ever. under provisions of the Cur.
rent Tax Payment Act of 1913
the majority of service returns
will result in refunds rather than
tax payments.
In order to make possible the
desired prompt handling of these
returns, Commissioner Grave
urged members of t 9 armed
forces to send their 1943 returns
a. esrly as possible to the same
internal revenue collection Office
in which the 1912 return was FL
ed. He also urged each of them
to attach to his 1913 return the
statement form 1925, which he
should have received from the
collector, showing the amount of
his 1912 tax and how much was
paid on it.
Service personnel who are on
sea duty or outside of the contin-
entail United States are not re-
quired to file returns or pay taxes
until after they come back or af-
ter the war ends.
Commissioner Graves said that,
in cooperation with the War and
Navy Departments, the Bureau
of Internal Revenue is providing
as much assistance as possible to
service personnel in this country
in filing out returns.
Special tax reminders for SER
vicemen include:
/. The first 81, 500 of last &C.
tive service pay is not taxable
and should not be included in in
come. For instance. an officer
whose base pay last year was
$4,000 would report only $500.
2. II the serviceman's 1912
tax was larger than the tax on
bis 1913 income, he may recon-,
pute his 1912 tax under a special
formula which may result in re-
ducing the 1912 tax to the same
amount as the tax on 1913 in
come. Advice on how to figure
this decomposition may be OBJ
tanned from any collector of in
ternal revenue.
8. II a married serviceman
has no taxable income. and bis
wife is fling q separate return,
she may use oil of their $1,000
personal exemption by claiming
that amount on Form 1910. or by
shocking block number 4 on the

HIS MOTHER
BY RICHARD G. HIATT. LaGrande, Ore.


When he was young and needed care,
He'd turn-aud always find you there
You guided him throughout the years,
And managed, somehow. to dry his tears.
Your laughing smiles we're signs of joy,
To him-your son-a growing boy.
You always seemed to be 50 gay,
Until there came that certain day,
That day when he said So long to you,
And went away, with job to do.
His first few weeks were hard to bear;
He'd search-but couldn't find you there
But then one day he came to find
That you were there-there in his mind
He knows wherever he may roam
His thoughts will always travel home
Although he may be miles away,
His thoughts are home, with you, each day.
And as each day becomes another.
He thanks the Lord for youths mother.
