Attention Veterans

passed in 1884 provides for
the registration by sworn af-
lfidavit of all firearms which
are fully automatic or con-
vertable thereto, and for all
rifles and shotgups with short
barrels and for any firearms
having an attachable silencer
or muffler. The provisions of
this act are carried out by the
Alcohol Tax Unit of the Unit
ed States Treasury Depart
ment. Many of these foreign
firearms brought or sent back
into this country by our vet
Grams come under this cate
CORY, though the veteran pos
sessing such a gun does not in
every case realize such to be
a fact, and it is for that rea-
son that the government has
found it necessary to have all
such firearms inspected by a
government investi g a t o +.
When your firearms is in
spected, and it is found that
it does not require registra-
ton, you are given a certif-
cate to that effect and cover
ing your particular frearm.
If your souvenier gun has al
ready been so inspected and
you do not have your certif-
cate, contact the investigator
OF write the Alcohol Tax Unit,
P.O. Box 1902 Wilmington
and your certificate will be
mailed to you. Although the
government never confiscates
any of these foreign firearms,
failure to so register a frearm
coming under this act is pun
ishable by a fine of $4,000
and five years Imprisonment
at the discretion of the court.
To sell or give a registerable
firearm away in a serviceable
condition is taxable in the
amount of 5000, and failure
to have made the payment of
that tax is punishable as is
failure to register such fire.

firearm has been made un-
serviceable, it can be sold or
given away without tax being
involved. Your government
will make any foreign fire.
arm unserviceable provided
the owner of the gun so re-
quests, and like the inspec-
ton and registration, there is
no cost involved, and such &C
ton in no way changes the
appearance of your firearm or
the value of it as a souvenir,
but does render that frearm
in such a way that it can nev-
Ell again be fired. To make it
as convenient as possible for
veterans, an Investigator will
be in Smyrna at the Police
Station on January % from
$3.50 to $50 PM and at the
Clayton Postoffice from 100
to 800 PM on the same day.
This will probably be the last
opportunity to have that nee
essary inspection at a point so
near your home and will en-
able the firearm to be so in
spected before a check is
made to determine just what
firearms have been inspectde.

Dimes March Onward


privilege of every American
to join actively in one of the
great peace-time battles wag-
ed by man in his ceaseless
struggle to make his world a
better place in which to live.
This is the relentless battle
against infantile paralysis
common enemy of all, regard
less of age or accident of birth
-spearheaded by the annual
March of Dimes, held this
year from January 1880.
Coming as it does, in the wake
of the second worst epidemic
of the disease ever to ravage
our nation, the 1947 March of
Dimes deserves-and will un-
doubtedly receive-the fullest
support of every citizen of
Smyrna who not only wants
to help those unable to help
themselves, but to insure for
himself and his family the
best available care if and
when the dread crippler strik-
es. The National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis, which
sponsors the March of Dimes,
is unique in the annals of pub
lie welfare organizations. 1t is
literally the property of the
American people who support
it with their dimes. 1t has no
other means for obtaining
funds, such as endowments,
bequests or grants. What it
gets, it gets through the
March of Dimes only. Not
only is the National Founda-
tion pledged to do it's utmost
when epidemic-or even indi-
vidual cases-breaks out, but
its ceaseless research into the
causes of the disease is the
only promise we have that
some day that cause will be
discovered and rem d e + e d
harmless In the meanwhile,
we can all gather satisfaction
from the fact that no one
stricken with the disease-re-
gardless of race, creed, or col
or-need go without adequate
care through lack of funds
and polio is among the most
expensive of human afflic-
tions. There are three things
we know with certainty. Polio
will strike again-where OF
when we do not know. When
it does strike, Smyrna will be
ready-the National Founda.
tion guarantees that. And the
National Foundation will be
ready because the March Of
Dimes sees to that!
