Preceding the services at the GEM
etery, the Memorial Day parade
headed by the Bluffton High school
band, formed at the town hall and
marched to the cemetery. The band
was followed by the color guard,
color bearers, and members of the
Bluffton American Legion post, Le-
gion Auxiliary and Boy Scouts.
Business and industry generally
were suspended thruout the day, and
Bluffton residents enjoyed to the
fullest one of the warmest days in
what has been an unusually cool
spring.
1t was particularly ideal weather
for the ritualistic ceremonies at the
last resting place of Civil War Vet
eran Hauenstein. The cemetery with
its wide expanse of verdant green
lawns, well kept driveways and
flower decked graves provided an
admirable setting for the occasion.
The traditional three-volley salute
was fired by the rifle squad, after
which taps were sounded, and the
colorful assemblage of the blue and
khaki of uniforms and the glisten-
ing white of Legion Auxiliary MEM
bers moved on to the high school.
Buttons first postwar Memorial
Day since 1941 found many resi-
dents out of town for the holiday.
Some went to the Indianapolis races,
others fishing, and many just were
visiting, something they had little
opportunity to do during the war.
Buckeye lake was a popular re-
creation spot during the day, with
its fishing, swimming and boating
facilities for those who stayed at
home.

Wet, cloudy and cool May weather

cipitation of the preceding four

Heavy rainfall of the month re-
duced the precipitation deficiency of

April's prolonged drought.
There was rainfall on % days of

blue DISCHARGE
ABUSES CHARGED

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-REA
report on what subcommittee
calls abuses in connection with the
so-called ''b1ue discharges" issued
by the Army will be filed with
congress this month by the House
Military committee.
The committee disclosed today
that it has for several months
been investigating ''b lue dis
charges under the direction of
Rep. Durham D.-N.C), head Of a
special subcommittee.
.'Blue discharges" are neither
honorable nor. dishonorable and
are so designated because they
are issued on blue paper. They
generally are issued, committee
members said, to men found 'in-
compatible" but who do not rate
a dishonorable d IS h ge, and
make no reference to the charac-
ter of the man discharged.
The committee said major
complaint has been that .4thou-
sands of discharged soldiers have
been deprived of their rights" I'M
der the G. I. Bill because they
hold "blue discharges"
While the G. I. Bills benefits
and applicable to all ex-service
personnel discharged under "other
than dishonorable' conditions,
committee sources said it has not
worked out that way in actual
practice.
AS an example of what he called
''the carelessness with which the
Army has issued these dis
charges" committee member
said 80 per cent Of all ''blue dis
charges x m ned on review
were changed to honorable dis
charges.
While only a court martial can
order a 'shonorable discharge,
the committee said in statement,
'blue discharges" are issued by
boards of officers, without judicial
proceedings but subject to review
by a discharge board.
'There have been many cases
in which blue discharges have
been given to men suffering from
mental disorders" committee
member said. certainly a man
whose discharge results from the
fact that he is not mentally suit
able should not be made to suffer
the onus of blue discharge"

Resident Physician
Assumes New Duties
At Rabies HOSPITAL

The board of managers of the
Babies Hospital, Wrightsville
Sound, yesterday, announced the
appointment of DR.. D. B. McIlvoy,
as resident physician.
I DR.. McIlvoy received pre-medi-
cal training at the University OF
Kentucky and was graduated from
the Tulane medical school in New
Orleans in 1941.
He served in the u. S. Army
Medical corps for three and one
half years, holding the rank of
major. He comes to the Babies
hospital from the City hospital in
Winston-Salem.
DR.. and Mrs. McIlvoy are resid-
in9 on Harbor Island

save themselves additional work.
In that case, the return will serve
both as a return and declara-
ton, and separate declaration
need not be filed.
Other tax estimators also may
file a regular return form 1O4O)
on or before January IS instead
of declaration and clear up their
tax situation for 1915. Otherwise
they may have to file an amended
declaration by January IS and
regular return by March IS.
Those required to file declara-
ticns of estimated tax for 1945
were:
1. Every person who was receiv-
ing or expected to receive, in 1e45.
wages in excess of S., 900 plus $500
for each exemption except his
own.
2. Every person who received or
expected to receive in 1915 more
than 500 income from sources
other than wages subject to with
holding, providing his total income
amounted to $500 or more.
For example, if you were single
and received only wages subject
to Withholding you didn't need to
file a declaration unless you re-
ceived more than $96.15 week
If you were married and had
no dependents, you didn't have to
file declaration unless you
earned more than $105.76 week
or $458.33 a month.
If you were married and had
two dependent children, you didn't
have to file decoration unless
your wages for the year were
more than $500. That's assuming
you didn't receive E more than $500
in income outside of wages subject
to Withholding.
On the other hand, if your wages
were $2,500-or any other amount
and you received more than 500
from dividends, interest, rents or
other sources apart from wages,
you were required to file decla-
ration of estimated tax. That's
providing, of course. that your
total income for 1945 amounted to
$500 or more.
In estimating tax or revising
your estimate, it's important to re-
member that the new lower taxev
do not apply to 1915 income. The
reduced taxes are effective on in
come received on and after Janu-
airy 1, 1916. You use the lower
tax rates when you estimate your
tax for 1916 in the March Is dec
laration.
If after the income tax return
for the year 1915 (due March IS,
has been filed, it is found that
taxpayer has under estimated his
tax by more than 20 per cent Cor
80 1-3 per cent in the case of
farmers). a penalty may be i'm
posed. The penalty is equal to 6
per cent of the shortage in the
estimate.
Taxpayers. including members
of the armed forces, who are out
side the continental United States
on January Is will have the usual
extensions or postponements.
Service pay of all military and
navy persons below the rank of
| commissioned officers is entirely
exempt from taxation No returns
Or declarations are required for
such service income.
Declarations and revised decla-
rations of estimated tax are filed
on a form called 1040-ES. This
form may be obtained from in
ternal revenue offices. Copies of
this form have been mailed by the
Internal Revenue Bureau to most
persons who make out decla-
rations.

MANY FACING TAX
DATE ON JAN. IS
Nv ALEXANDER R. GEORGE

WASHINGTON, ] n. Diff
Many Americans have little
business to transact with Uncle
Sam by January IS. That's the
last day for filing final estimates
Of 1915 income tax and for max.
ing the last quarterly payment OF
estimated tax.
Persons who must make tax es-
Inmates are largely farmers, bust
nessmen, storekeeper, investors,
lawyer, doctors, domestic work
ers and farm workers. The vast
majority of wage earners don't
need to pay any attention to Janu-
airy Is because they are not re-
ouired to make tax estimates.
Most persons in the tax estimat-
ing class were supposed to file
their first "guess" of 1945 income
tax and make a quarterly pay
ment last March IS. Similar pay.
ments and revised estimates I'll
necessary were due June Is ano
Sept. Is.
The January IS declaration
gives the taxpayer an opportunity
to correct his previous estimates
and pay the final installment Of
estimated tax.
A January IS estimate is not re
quired from taxpayers who made
a previous estimate unless they
wish to revise, or amend that es
innate. Likewise, if the estimated
tax already has been paid in full
obviously no payment is required
on January IS.
However, for most farmers the
January IS estimate will be their
first on 1945 income. Farmers who
receive more than two-thirds Of
their income from farming are al
lowed to postpone their estimate
of 1915 income tax until then.
Moreover, if they file their regu'
lar 1915 tax return by January Il
and pay the tax due, they car
