Weekly Orientation Chat
FRIENDS OF WAR

Eclipsing all other events of the past week was the news of an American raid on the Japanese "Pearl Harbor" at Truk (pronounc- ed TROOK) in the Caroline Is- lands. Less than two. weeks after the Marshall Islands were invaded, Admiral Nimitz had sent his forces against the very heart of the Jap empire. Security reasons have pre- vented the disclosure of the scope of the attack, but Tokyo reported an offensive in force. Other reports indicated that U. s. troops had landed at Truk. This was not con, frmed by official sources.
 It has been disclosed that Eni- wetok, co miles northwest of Kwajalein and 750 miles northeast of Truk has been invaded. Ponape, another important Jap base in the Caroline Islands is but 425 miles south of Eniwetok. The entire Gen. tral Pacific defenses of the Japs are being shattered by this exten- sive series of blows. Latest reports indicated that beachheads and an airfeld had been won on Eniwetok,
 In the South Pacific, occupation of the Green Islands and the de- struction of a 15 ship convoy has left the Japs hanging on the ropes. Rabaul has been neutralized and enemy ain resistance in the south west Pacific has been reduced to minimum. The road to Tokyo is still long, but we are moving.
 Europe has seen two epic de- velopments in the past week. The RAF broke all records by strik- ing Berlin with 280O tons of bombs. This attack coupled with the ever increasing intensity of AAF blows is bringing the air offense against Germany to it's greatest peak. Mai. Gen. Brereton and the 9th Air Force have been added to the ar- ray of air power being aimed at Berlin. By midsummer it is ex- pected that the U. s. Air Force in Britain will be launching daily 2,0OO plane raids against Europe.

Max Baer Says Army Life Would Have Saved His, Title

Sgt. Max Baer, in his physical fit- ness talks at Army camps recalls that it was his poor condition that accounted for his defeat by Jim Braddock for the heavyweight title June 13, 1885. :=:..
 Veteran fight experts who've seen Max lately say he looks to be in better physical condition as result of Army life than he was when he was defeated by Joe Louis in Baer's attempted comeback Sept. "A, 1885.
 Max and his brother, Buddy, visited this Base a few months ago in conjunction with their physical fitness lectures.

A Oraplatrt' 3 UhnughtH

It doesn't take a war to get 3 fellow into a position in which he finds himself asking the question, What shall I do?" Such circum- stances arise quite frequently in ordinary everyday life. And the answer a fellow gives to this ques- tion will depend in large measure upon his general ATTITUDE" to- ward life and toward his fellow citizens. The civilian Minister and the Army Chaplain both frequently meet with persons who are having some sort of difficulty, and too frequently these troubles are the direct result of "self-centered" attitude.
 Army life is different in num- Der of ways from civilian life, but the basic principles involved in the relationship of one soldier with an- other soldier, or soldier and his outfit, are the same as these in- volved in the relationship of one citizen and another, and between a citizen and his fellow workers in his place of employment. Selfish ness eventually begets trouble; un- selfishness, while it is not the sole factor in assuring success, does make the path of success a much more pleasant path to all concern ed.
 Every soldier in the Army has a definite purpose, regardless of rank or grade. That purpose can best be fulfilled in cheerful man. ner. After all, we are fighting chiefly for the right to live the kind of lives we want to live, and such a great right can not be the result of selfish ambitions.
 We're winning the war because the vast bulk of the men and wom- en in the armed forces are eagerly doing their best in whatever job they have to do. We might hasten the day of victory if every soldier had this same attitude.

WHAT DO YOU
 KNOW ABOUT
 YOUR INSURANCE?

The possible forfeiture of Ma tional Service Life Insurance is topic that sometimes offers mate rial for argument. A paragraph in Insurance Form 398, the pamphlet which gives information and pre- mium rates on the insurance, pro- Vides an answer to the problem.
 Amy person found guilty of mu- tiny, treason, spying, or assertion, or who, because of conscientious objections, refuses to perform service in the land or naval forces of the United States or refuses to wear the uniform of such forces, shall forfeit all right to insurance. No insurance shall be payable for death inflicted as a lawful punish ment for crime or for military or naval offense, except when inflicted by an enemy of the United States; but the cash surrender value, if any, of such insurance on the date of death of the insured shall be paid to the designated beneficiary, if living, or otherwise to the bene- ficiary or benefciaries within the permitted class: Provided, that such cash surrender value shall not be paid in cases in which all rights to insurance have been forfeited pursuant to the provisions of the first sentence of this paragraph"

Q. I was discharged after over seas duty and later l was recalled to the service. Under the provi- sions of the new Muster-Out law, may I get my discharge pay now or must I wait until after the war :?
 A. You've got to wait. Men re- called to active duty are not elig- ible for muster-out pay until they are again discharged or relieved from active duty. "..=... Q. Whats all this "limited serv- ice" malarkey? I thought the Army no longer accepted men for limited service.
 A. The Army no longer uses the term 'limited service" in inducting men. In some cases, however, men who do not meet the standards for combat service may be inducted be- cause of their special skills.

Soldiers Will Get A Break This Year
 On Income Taxes

Have you filed your income tax report yet? If not, hold it up a minute. Here are couple of hot tips for you:
 Tn the first place, when you sweat your way down to the bot tom of the form, you may find you don't have to pay anyone dime. That's because servicemen get a big break from the Treasury De- partment this year. ..
 Congress has permitted those in the armed forces to exclude from their gross 1943 incomes the first $1 ,500 of their regular service pay, on top of the regular personal ex- emption, which in the case of single men amounts to $500. This will re- lieve the great majority of the na- tion's CTS from the responsibility of paying any tax at all.
 This doesn't mean, of course, that you get an exemption for all that dough you won on the races last year. That ain't Army pay Income from civilian sources is taxed on civilian rates. You've got to pay through the nose for that kind of money, just like anyone else.
 Now, then, let's suppose you were on active duty with the armed forces during 192 as we'll as 1943. In that case, you may be en- titled to further benefits from Uncle Sam.
 Most servicemen who paid a quarter or half of their 1922 tax last March or June will be entitled to a refund under the forgiveness section of the new tax law. If they had no tax at all on their 1943 in- come, or if it is less than their 1942 tax, they are also entitled to the benefit of the forgiveness feature and if their 1943 tax is greater than their 1922 tax, three-quarters of the 1942 tax will be forgiven if it is more than $66.67, or up to $50 if it is $66.67 or less.
 In a nutshell, here's how you de- termine whether or not you have to pay an income tax this year:
 You must file a tax return IF
 1. You paid or owed a tax on 1942 income.
 2. You are single and had an in come in 1943 of more than $2,OO0 (including service pay of $1,500 and civilian income of $500).
 3. You are married and had a combined income in 1943 of more than $1 200 excluding your service pay.
 Clear enough?
 AS a parting suggestion, the Treasury Department has recom- mended that you use tax form 1O40A-a new simplified type of income tax form-if your total in come is less than 5000, which 1t probably is.

your guess is as good as mine. Dope

Good pay off horses comprise
the balance. 1t seems therefore
that no system can be devised to
beat the races for any protracted

cording to most women, are the
best play, and this can be borne out
by a story told last week about a

meeting kept them busy until the
Maryland half-mile track season
opened recently at Hagerstown.
A great many horses were vanned
TO Cumberland direct from the
Hagerstown track, by smart train
ers who want to give their horses
a rest for the gruelling ten-day meet
that will start Tuesday, August Z,
at the Fargo oval, just outside the
city limits of Cumberland.
Many more will be shipped from

for all half-mile tracks hereabouts,
and with the results of two meet

der of the day at the Fargo plant.
Since two $1,000 events are card
ed for the meeting, and with the
boost in purses to $500, an excep-
tional caliber of horses is assured
for this meeting. Cumberlanders
like the route races and according
ly about 40 per cent Of the events
will be over the mile and more dis

be divided between the five fur

LITTLE SARATOGA"
Before going further, it may be
polite or good form to tell our Wis
itors or recently arrived residents
a word about the picturesque race
track that is a part of the Cumber-
landers' very existence. Classed by
national news writer's as the most
beautiful half-mile track in Amer
lea, it is often referred to as 1.-The
Little Saratoga"
The track is laid out on fiat at
the foot of one of the surrounding
mountains, and is set off by back
drop of solid rock, interspersed
here and there with Shrubbery and
foliage. Atop this rock formation
is dense forest.
A road runs along the ridge of
the mountain, and at times natives
of the section watch the days por-
ceedings from their high vantage
points. These persons may be OBJ
served by patrons in the grand
stand of the track, who are prob
ably wondering how the mountain
spectators reached the perilous
perch.

while the race meeting was in
