Nicholas .Lipanovich, for
many years a member of the
Croatian Fraternal Unions
Home Office Clerical Staff,
happened to be enjoying a
vacation during the week of
the Society's Goth Anniver-
sary Celebration, held July
Is, at West View Park,
Pittsburgh.
AS a result, bro. Lipano-
vich's name does not appear
among those of the Society's
Officials and Clerks who
wished it every success. on
the occasion via the pages
of a Souvenir Book widely
distributed during the festi-
vities at West View Park.
Bro. Lipanovich wishes it
to be known that he most
certainly wants to be among
those who saluted the Gro
attain Fraternal Union in this
manner; that the only rea-
son he didn't do as much
was because Of his absence
from the Home Office when
the Souvenir Book was be-
ing prepared for publication.
AL of which we are very
glad to note for the record
and posterity.

How should you sign your
1853 income tax return?
You have not filed a legal
income tax return unless you
sign 1t. If you and your wife
are filing a joint return, both
of you must sign. You do not
need to have your return
notarized, since your signature
has the same legal effect as
swearing to the truthfulness of
your return.
If you have questions re-
garding your 1853 income tax,
your district office of internal
revenue will help you. 1t is To-
