Sales Tax Rules For
Non-Proft Groups

Exemption Certificates have been
issued to more than 1000 institutions
or organizations exempt under the
Maryland Retail Sales Tax Act, ac-
cording to a statement released by
James j. Lacy, State Comptroller.
Section 261 specifically exempts
the tax from sales to any person
operating a non-profit religious, non
profit charitable, non-pTofit scienti-
fic, non-profit literary or non-profit
educational institution situated in
the State of Maryland when such
taxable tangible personal property
is purchased for use in carrying on
the work of such institution or or
ganization, but such organizations
are not exempt from complying with
the provisions of the law when they
make purchases of such taxable tan
gible personal property for the pur-
poses of resale in any way manner
or form.
If they purchase taxable tangible
personal property for the purpose of
reselling it, they are required to take
out Retail Sales Tax License and
collect the tax on these sales and
remit the same monthly on forms
provided by the Comptroller of the
State of Maryland. This applies to
lawn fetes, carnivals, camps and
other such activities of this type,
wherein taxable tangible personal
property is sold In these cases a
license must be secured and fee of
81 paid in order that they may pur
chase this taxable tangible personal
property on a resale certificate. If
they purchase taxable tangible per-
sonal property for give-away pur-
poses for prizes or rattle wheels of
any kind or description, or ON raffles,
they are considered the ultimate
consumer and must pay the tax on
these purchases to the suppliers and
these purchases must not be pur-
chased on a resale certificate.
Business firms selling such taxable
tangible personal property to ex-
empt institutions are warned that
when they know such purchases are
being made by them to these insti-
tutions for the purposes of prizes on
bingo games or rattle wheels, that
they are required to collect the tax
at the time they made the sale.
No person has the right to pur-
chase on an exemption certificate or
on resale certificate (if they are
the holders of license) if the pur-
chases are being made for their per-
sonal use or for the personal use
of any other person whom they want
to buy it for, or give to. Nor are
members of or employees working
for exempt institutions exempt from
the Maryland Retail Sales Tax when
they buy taxable tangible personal
property for their personal use.
If hospital or church or any
other institution or organization
holding an exemption certificate en-
gage in the business of selling tax
able tangible personal property,
even though such taxable tangible
personal property may have been
given to them, then they must secure
license from the State Comptroller's
office and collect a tax at the time
the sale is made.
If the misuse or abuse of exemp-
ton certificates is continued, the
State Comptroller's Office may re-
woke such certificates at any time,

AAA Has Bought
1000 Tons Potatoes
Plan Started During War
Scheduled To End Next Year
Best Grades Distributed To
Schools And Institutions.

The local office of the Agricultural
Adjustment Agency announced last
week that approximately 1000 tons
of excess potatoes have been pur-
chased from farmers in Washington
County, and it is expected that the
Agency will purchase more before
the end of the potato season.
Asked by a Globe-Independent re-
porter what disposition is made of
the potatoes after they are purchased
by the Agency, he was told that a
large number of the better grade po-
tatoes are distributed among the
county schools for use in the cafe
terias; to the various Federal mental
institutions, and to prisons. The
poorer quality are used as feed for
livestock.
The purchase of excess potatoes by
the U. S. Government, through the
A4AA, had its origin during World
War II, when the plan was put into
operation to encourage farmers to
grow more potatoes for the war eff
fort. The plan was originally Sch
eduled to run for the duration of
the war and for two years afterwards
and, unless Congress decides to ex-
tend the time, it will come to an
end in 1913.

Fish and Game Club
Raising Young Deer
Joe And Bamby-Now Three
Months Old-Consume Gallon
Of Milk DaiIy-Live In Spe-
cial Quarters Erected By Club.

The Potomac Fish and Game
Club, of near Williamsport, has an
oddity that is really a sight to see
and one which isn't common in this
section of the state. 1t takes the form
of two new members of the club
Joe and Bamby Deer.
The whole story started about
three months ago when a Game
Warden of Garrett County found
Joe, but few hours old, lying be-
sideside his mother who was dead.
The warden took the young deer to
his headquarters, who in turn got
in touch with the Potomac Fish
and Game Club and asked them if
they would take him to raise. Little
Joe was so small and weak when
he arrived at the club, that for the
first few days he could do no more
than lap up a little milk several
times day.
When Joe got to be about three
weeks old it became evident that his
small quarters were no match for
him, so work was started on his
new and present home, lot about
100 feet long and so feet wide, sur
rounded by fence feet high.
Some time later, a man from Yves
tern Maryland who heard about
Joe and who owned female fawn
about Joe's age, donated her to the
club, and Bamby, as she is now
named, joined the happy household.
Today Joe and Bamby are about
three months old and leap and play
in their large pen to their hearts
content. Prime favorites of every
member of the club, they are par
ticularly friendly with Mrs. Reich
erd Slower, who with her husband,
are caretakers of the club. The
moment Mrs. Slower enters their
pen, Joe and Bamby come scamp
ering up to her to be petted-and
they are never disappointed.
Hanging on the wall in one of
the clubrooms is a box in which
members drop their loose change,
to provide funds for the gallons of
milk which Joe and Bamby drink
every day. In addition to the milk,
their daily ration consists of dried
leaves and herbs-and they certainly
thrive on it.
The Potomac Fish and Game
Club is located about five miles
east of Williamsport, along the Po-
tomac River. The reservation con-
sists of about three-hundred acres
and has a considerable frontage on
the river, where boating is en-
joyed on the clubs twelve-mile run.

Around Town With
The Editor

Don't forget to set your clocks and
watches back an hour before you
go to bed on Saturday night-Day-
light Saving Time ends Saturday
night
AS predicted in this column last
week, Russell B. Young, whose per
NIT to construct a grocery store on
North Potomac Street was revoked
by the Mayor and Council, on
the grounds that it underestimated
the building cost, has filed a new
application for permit, carrying
revised building costs.
The matter came before the Mayor
and Council at a special session held
on Monday night and they rightfully
decided that since Mr.. Young's fig
ures were now in line, the question
of granting a new permit was purely
up to the Building Inspector, since
there are no coming laws covering
that section of the city.
With the issuing of the permit, the
matter is closed, as far as the city
is concerned
On page three of this issue is
full-page advertisement, sponsored
by group of local firms and indi-
viduals, that hope you will take
time to not only read, but seriously
think about the matter after you
have read it.
Too many youngsters are being
injured-many fatally-either by
their own negligence, or the negili-
gence of others. If we all practice
the common rules of safety our
selves, as well as instilling into the
youngsters the need of being careful
themselves, then there is hope of
reducing the appalling number of
accidents to the girls and boyS-146,-
600 school children were injured in
automobile accidents alone last year.
And here's final thought. If you
see a motorist driving recklesSly,
particularly near a school or a play
ground, don't say to yourself, that
crazy fool ought to be arrested" but
jot down the license number of the
car and report the incident to the
city or state police.
/ see where another attempt is to
be made to form a Rent Control Ad-
viSoTy Board for the Hagerstown
area. In this connection it might
be well to point out that Frank Cree
don, National Expediter, has public
ly stated that in order to make these
Advisory Boards effective, adequate
representation, in the naming of the
boards, must be given to tenants
and there is no law against appoint
ing women to the boards.
So here's hoping that when the
Governor submits a new list of
names to the Maryland Rent Dir
ector, the list will be fully repre-
sentative and that the women of Ha-
gerstown-who are vitality con-
cerned in this rent question-be
given representation on the board.
1t is also hoped that this time, those
selected will be contacted before
their names are released to the press.

Farm Labor Will
Be Short IN 'A

Shortage Of farm labor will
still pose a major problem to far
mers throughout Washington next
year, despite recent reports to the
contrary. This forecast is made by
Robert Policy, assistant extension
farm labor supervisor, Washington
State College.
Pelly brands as misleading" a
recent report to the effect that, in
place Of the wartime labor short
age on farms, the state now has
an abundance of farm workers.

there'n be no shortage Of farm
labor for seasonal jobs during the
1947 crop year." he said.
It is true, he added, that since
the close of the war there has been
an increase in the numbers of do
mestic and migrant farm workers;
however, the effect of this In
crease is largely offset by the fact
that no German prisoners Of war
will be available this year, and
few, if any, Mexican Nationals.
Washington farmers must look
to migrant farm workers for a
large percentage of their seasonal
help next year, Pelley believes. He
says last year noticeable in
crease occurred in the number of
migrants entering this state, par
ticularly in areas such as Yakima
Valley, where they could get con-
tinuous employment during the
crop season. T.
