more than one employer during
1855 must be careful to attach to
their Federal income tax returns
for the year all their VIZ with
holding tax certificates, District
Director Nathaniel LOCKER warn
ed today.
MANY people work for several
business firms during a year."
Mr.. Locker pointed out. "Gener-
ally, such firms will furnish en-
ployees who have left their en-
ploy proper certificates shortly
after they leave the company.
It's important to keep these GER
tificates for use in computing tax
status at the end of the year.
Far too often we receive re-
turns lacking two or three such
withholding forms. Checking
against our own copies of the
WIS, furnished us by employers,
reveals frequent tax discrep-
ancies. Short-term workers who
have never received WIS from
firms by which they were en-

The American Legion is, above

Our members are aware of the
great need for service to others
in our country today and also,
we know of the great record of
service of the American Red
Cross.
This year marks the 18th year
in which the Red Cross has been
striving to relieve the misery
caused by wars, natural disas-
ters, catastrophes and many of
the lesser ills which beset man
kind. Many thousands of veter-
ans know well that in their per-
Sonal battles against these evils
that grow out of war and family
separation, the Red Cross has
always been prompt to offer as
SiStance.
Now it is again time for all of
us to assist the Red Cross. AS
National Commander of The
American Legion, l urge our
membership, their families and
their friends to support whole
heartedly the Red Cross Fund
