 West Wall Shaken
 Since June began, more than 200 miles of the French coastline brist- ling with German guns have been shaken from end to end by Allied bombers. Big British bombers made it their target for the third con- secutive night last night, and the U. $. Eighth Air Force neglected strategic targets deeper on the con- tinent for the past four days to con- centrate on immediate tactical tar gets behind the invasion wall
 It is estimated that we'll over 13,000 tons of bombs have been dumped on France by American and British heavy bombers alone during the past 72 hours, and the greater part fell on the Pas de Calais area and on Nazi strong points surrounding the channel

ROTARY PICNIC AT AUX CENTER
 E BIG SUCCESS

The Rotary picnic, held yester- day at the Aux Bay Recreation Center was a huge success, accord ing to Stan Grummett, Chairman of the affair
 The weather, which was very un- promising Sunday morning in town, held clear throughout the day, en- abling the 12O persons attending to have a bang-up time.
 Many contests and games sup piled the days activities for young and old The children were de- lighted to find that the promised surprise" awaiting them was @ saddled horse, rarin' to go. Many had never ridden a horse before and consequently had a wonderful time
 Mrs. James Ryan and Mrs. Stan Grummett tied for first place in the rolling pin contest. The target was 'plyboard man" who, after receiving a few of the ladies' well aimed blows succumbed before the tie" could be settled.
 There were two softball games held, besides sack races, potato races and a three legged race for the men.
 Food was supplied by Percys Cafe with cake and salad furnished by the Rotary wives. Five gallons of ice cream was consumed by the youngsters.
 Rangers of the Forest Service arrived on the scene early and built fires, arranged canvas for shelter, erected tent, and also had first aid and life-saving equipment on hand. Members of the. Rotary Club wish to thank them for their big contribution to the days success.
 Tom Morgan, Claude Carnegie, James Ryan, and Harold Foss formed the committee in charge of the entertainment; Waino Hend- rickson, Roald Copstead, and Ellis Reynolds completed the food ar e m n ts and Gov. Ernest Gruening and Don Skuse took care of the transportation.

 The German radio soon after noon warned of a single enemy plane oveI the lower Danube, which suggested that Italy, based bombers are on the prowl. The Nazis as- serted that Germany itself is free of planes.
 The British did not lose a single plane in the night operations. and Britain enjoyed another raid-free night, the German air force evident ly husbanding every available plane for the day of invasion.
 The operations today came after approximately 1,200 American heavy bombers from Britain and Italy hit defense communication targets in Nazi-occupied Europe yesterday.

In preparing the material sug-
geSted in the previous article, for
use in your income tax return, here
are some suggestions to help you
remember everything. The numbers
correspond with those used in yes
terday'S summary.
/. This. statement comes from
your employer, who may use Gov
eminent Form W. or one of his
won that gives the same informa-
ton.
2. Payment for personal serv-
ices'' are taxable, no matter who is
your employer. Besides formal
salary or wages, they include COM
missions, bonuses, tips, gifts from
anybody for whom you have done
anything, jury fees, strike benefits,
alimony and separation allowances
and pensions or retirement pay on
the following basis.
If you never paid anything for
the pension of retirement allowance,
it Is all taxable.
If you did pay something for 1t,
then you must report for taxation
per cent Of the total amount you
paid. The remainder Is tax free I'M
til, in course of years, you have re-
covered Gree from taxes) as much
as you paid in. After that all viii
be taxable.
Later in this series I shall pro-
vide a check list of income items
which are not taxable.
SVYSe5 - 81. al y
be added up from your own records.
'"DividendS" from mutual insurance
companies are not true dividends
but only a refunding of excess pay
ments, and they are not taxable.
4. Interest receipts should be
compiled from your own records.
For this and the dividend item,
only the gross total is needed
not an itemized list.
5. Since these articles are in
tended principally for the moderate
income groups. most readers will
own government savings bonds IS
sued since March /, 1871, called
Defense or War Bonds. In fig
uring how many you have, use the
cost price-$18:75 or $3.50 or $75. 90
instead of the face value-$25.0 90
or 5000 or $4,000. That is, If the
face value Of your war bonds totals
! $775.00. the cost price, to be used
here, is only $581.25.
You may choose whether to re-
port for taxation each year the in
creased cash value of such bonds,
or to wait until you cash the bonds
and then report your total profit"
on them. But once you start using
either of these two systems, you
have to stick to it from then on
You can't change back and forth at
will.
I shall not take space to discuss
other bond issues, because relative
" few individual taxpayers hold
them.
6. Taxable income from annu-
tiles should be treated in exactly
the same way as that from PEN
sions and retirement pay, describ-
ed under No. 2 in this article.
In the next article shall discuss
other items from yesterdays list.

Postwar Program Being Formulated; Waterbury
WatertOwn Represented on Board of Directors

Announcement Of the formation
Of the Connecticut Association for
Planning Postwar Construction was
made today by Harry r. Westcott Of
Westcott and Mapes, architects and

technical ability in q unified way
to facilitate the "blueprinting" Of
needed and useful construction after
the war. It is the intention of the
new group to cooperate in every way
with the state and other local plan
ming agencies, and to avoid any in
fringement upon their prerogatives,
but to be ready at all times to
render its co-ordinated abilities in
respect to plans, estimates and re-
ports whenever possible.
The association has announced .
statement Of It's policies in detail.

fact that the organization 'is a
voluntary non-prof1t organization
created for the purpose Of serving
the public need now and during
the postwar period" The state
ment then continues:
"This association will cooperate
with and solicit the cooperation Of
all other agencies engaged in post
war planning. It will urge the con-
struction industry to actively sup
port postwar planning. 1t will urge
business, industrial, state and mu-
nicipal officials to initiate bona flde
planning of postwar construction to
the end that needed and useful con-
struction may proceed promptly
after the European war, thereby
