Tax Refunds Are
Really On the Way

Declaring that every effort is be-
ing made to expedite refunds on 1943
income tax returns, George Hoffer-
bert, Collector of Internal Revenue,
said refund checks are being mailed
to taxpayers of the Maryland dis
trict at the rate of $500 per week.
ITO every taxpayer of this district
who is entitled to a refund on his
1943 return, l would like to say"
Collector Hofferbert stated, your
refund is being processed as rapidly
as possible. l 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 March
Is
Throughout the country we have
about 100000 refunds to make. In
each case, the return must be COM
pared with employers Withholding
tax receipts and other documents.
In many cases, returns contain errors
that must be corrected.
This wolves tremendous
amount of work that must be done
with comparatively small staff, due
to wartime manpower shortages.
Obviously, the entire 100000 re-
funds cannot be completed at the
same time, and some taxpayers must
wait another few months.
However, a 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
refunds, 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 h a s
changed his address since he filed
his return, he should advise the col
lector of both his old and new adj
dress.

GOOD READING FOR THE WEEK

and Ward Hawkins. 1t is a melo-
drama full of mystery, exciting ex-
ploits and some love interest. It
appeared in the Saturday Evening
Post under the title 1.-THE Saboteurs''
and, as the title suggests, carries
plenty of action. A counterspy, mas
querading as pilebuck, rounds up
a gang of Hitler-paid workers. The
characters are for the most part,
rough and ready shipyard workers
and very convincing. They are true
and loyal home-front workers,
brawling one moment and lending
a hand the next. 1t is the kind of
book that is good strong reading, a
release for nerve tension-a man.
sized tonic.
A book with very little of the war
is Martha Ostenso's o River, Re-
member. Here one meets two very
interesting families-the Norwegian
Vinge Changed later, as they be-
come richer, to Wing and the half
Irish Shaleens. These groups are
drawn together by feuds and dis
aster, poverty and riches, and final
ly marriage of grandchildren unites
the two families. With the Mime
sofa background Miss Ostenso is
again involved with the influences
of the land on her characters. Her
love interests are melodramatic and
engrossing and her characters life
like, the whole giving the book a
wholesomeness that is heartening in
these hectic days.

Golden apples Oh the sun, by
Rosemary Obermeyer, is sheer de-
fantasy, jestful characters, such as
light from beginning to end. Pure
shiftless Grandpa O'Callaghan, as
delightful an Irishman as ever
breathed, and the gypsy girl who is
the heroine, all are eccentric, hui
morous and lovable. Such a book
is a joy for any day or for any
reader.
The Life and Death of Little Joe,
by Robert Bright. is one of those
tender, moving stories of the peas
ants in an isolated village in New
Mexico. Little Joe is the hero of
the book and a captivating lad he is.
Brought up by his aunt, who resents
him, but befriendcd by Cornelio, an
old violinist who is beloved by ev-
eryone except Little Joe's family, he
winds himself about the readers
heart until he becomes a personal
friend of your own His story is

Henry Bellamann, the author of
Kings Row." has gone South to a
Louisiana plantation house for his
latest novel, Victoria GrandOlet.
Bellamann has an extensive reading
audience and again he does not dis
appoint them. He has made "the
house" a real character of his book,
the house which rejects the young
New Hampshire bride. But this
stalwart New Highlander has will
of her own and she determines to
identify herself so with her back
ground as to become one with it
There is no slackening of interest in
the story. The conflicts are many
and fierce and while Victoria be-
comes more purposeful as the climax
approaches, one forgives that in the
great flow of the swiftly moving plot.
Albert Spaulding's autobiography,
Rise To Follow, is lively narrative,
full of imposing figures, musical
celebrities and social and political
bigwigs. The story of his rise to
fame as virtuoso establishes him as
a raconteur in the literary field as
well as in the musical one. AS an
added feature, incidents of World
War l are thrown in, intimate pic
lures since Mr.. Spaulding served as
an adjutant to Captain Fiorello H.
La Guardia.
Hungry Hill, by Daphne DuMaur
Ter, is far less romantic than her
other novels, but is still a vigorous
book. Beginning in 1920 when John
Broderick sank the copper mine
shaft at Hungry Hill, the story turns
into saga of over 100 years Of
feuds, industrial struggles, mar
riages, births and deaths-all inter
grated into a dynamic tale of the
and the Donovans. Her
use of contrast, the knack of catch
ing atmosphere, and her capacity to
create dramatic characters, are again
skillfully done i'll Hungry Hill, ,
and one becomes interested in the
families in spite of the theme. Her
descriptive background equals her
other books although her plot may
be disappointing to those who eX
pect another "Rebecca."
