Not Required
But Small Sales
Record Good Idea
Glander Tells Policy
To be Followed in
Enforcing New Law

Vendors are not required, un-
der the sales tax revision which
eliminated the tax on purchases
of less than Al cents, to keep
records on such persons.
But c. Emory Glander, state
tax commissioner, advises all
vendors that they will be better
off to keep such records.
''Many vendors will find it both
practical and prudent to keep
records of sales under Al cents
as well as those over 40 cents, "
Glander said. where such rec
ords can be kept they will pro-
vide the vendor with complete
protection against erroneous as
SeSSmentS."
In his statement, Chandler call
ed attention to the fact that the
new law, while exempting from
the sales tax any sale with total
value of 40 cents or less, does not
permit deduction of the first 40
cents on sales over that amount.
The tax on each taxable sale
over 40 cents is computed in the
same manner as in the past.
The Commissioners explana-
ton of the new law, and the man.
ner in which it will affect vend-
ors, follows:
Record Sales Over 40 Cents
"The new law provides that no
vendor shall be required to main
tain records of individual retail
sales under Al cents, and that no
assessment shall be made against
any vendor for retail sales of less
than al cents solely because the
vendor has no records, or has
inadequate records, of sales less
than Al cents.
THE new law makes no change
whatever regarding the necessity
for keeping records of retail sales
over 40 cents. Each vendor still
required by law to keep complete
and accurate records of sales of
taxable property, and this in
cludeS records of sales over 40
cents. The amendment provides
that when the vendor does not
have adequate records of re-
ceipts from retail sales in excess
of 40 cents, the Tax Commission
er may refuse TO accept the ven
doris return. In that event, the
Tax Commissioner is authorized
to make test checks of the ven
doris business for a representa-
tive period and to determine the
percentage of taxable retail sales
on the basis of such test checks
and other information relating to
the sales made by the vendor.
Must Give Stamps
"In order that vendors may
have some guide by which to
check their operations from time
to time, the Department of Taxa
ton has been asked to confer
with the several classes of ven
doris for the purpose of develop
ing percentages representing in
come from sales of less than Al
cents. The Department is willing
to participate in such conferences
upon the condition and with the
understanding that any such per-
centages shall be regarded as
entirely unofficial. No general
percentages can be legally bind
ing with respect to any individ-
ual vendor. Each individual case
must be decided on it's own facts

AS soon as we were under the

in what seemed like a cloud
burst. Our voices were nearly
obliterated by the noise of the
rain on the metal roof. Then

terrific velocity and blew the

Soon there was a river flowing
around our feet and we scram-

along with trees of various
sizes and colors. The sunsets
are beautiful beyond descrip-
ton. Another beautiful sight
is the large groves of gum
trees. (You know they grow
Spearmint, Double-mint, Juicy
Fruit, etc., but don't ask me to

I go by, I look for the Spear
mint, as I figure the red and
white wrapper will show up
the easiest. Haven't noticed
any yet, but will keep you in
formed). All joking aside, the
groves of trees are very pic
turesque - they are tall slim
trees with bushy leaves on the
top; the bark is a light silvery
color and seems almost phos-
phorescent in the dark. They
grow quite close together and
stand strong and stately, like
statues, as though they would
never fall.
We had a heavy rainstorm
today that nearly drowned
Bob, Gene and me. We were
over at Ruja tea estates, hold
ing an outdoor meeting. We
could see the storm coming,
but didn't want to stop until
absolutely necessary. Just as
the meeting was closing and
Bob had given the invitation
to any one who wanted to &C.
cept Christ as Savior, and one
young man stood up and con-
fessed his need of Christ, huge
drops began to fall.
Nearby was a shed used for
a shelter for wood-sawing. 1t
had wooden frame with COR
rugated iron for the roof.
There were about sixty of us
and Bob suggested we go over
there for the final hymn and
prayer. We hurried over, al
though the natives didn't seem
to be in much of hurry. It
didn't matter to them if their
Sunday clothes (cow-skins)
got wet. (They don't have to
worry about the shrinkage).

JEFFERSON, Md, Aug. "A
lesson in conservation will be given
on a rolling. 175-acre farm near
here Wednesday that will be taken
to farmers over most of the world
1t will be the lesson of how an
old farm, tired from lack of care
can be made young again by means
of soil conservation techniques. It
will be a normal five-year rejuvena-
ton program that will be completed
in a single day with the help OF
modern machinery.
The farm, owned by Mrs. Nellie
" Thrasher, a 53-year- widow
lies a mile southwest of this Fred
erick County village. 1t stretches
from the county highway up the
side of Catoctin Mountain. Its pas
lures have grown thin and gulleys
have been washed in some of the
sleeper fields. Other fields have
suffered from too persistent crop
ping system.
500 Have Offered Services.
The farm is operated by Mrs.
Thrasher. her 17-year-old son,
George E., and a hired man. Never
have they produced sufficient hay
for the 30-cow dairy herd that helps
supply milk to the Washington mar
ket And this year, a wheat failure
added to the Thrasher family
troubles. The old-fashioned square
fields have not helped increase the
efficiency of modern, machine farm
ing.
But on Wednesday these an
tiquated methods will be pushed
into the past. On hand to tell the
story to other parts of the world
will be photographers and writer's
from the State Department, the
Food and Agriculture Organization,
the Soil Conservation Service and
the Army. They will be augmented
by newsreel photographers and
radio and press writer's.
Promptly at 9 am. a blast that
will open a drainage ditch in wet
field will be the signal for an army
of machines and men-500 persons
