Cpl. Maupin, who was principal of the Yoncalla grade school .at the time of her enlistment in June,' 1U42, received her basic training at Ft.

(AP) There's a date on the cal endar that is rushing down on millions of taxpayers with the speed of a buzz bomb. The date is Jan. 15 this com ing Monday. Jan. 15 is an in come tax date. It has never been an income tax date before, and therefore some of the tax payers are still asleep. On the other hand a lot of them are waking up with startled eyes. The bureau of internal revenue says the lines of people seeking information are lengthening all over the country. Most , taxpayers 35,000,000 of them don't need to give Jan. 15 a thought. ' They are the ones who in 1944 were paid almost al together in wages subject to the withholding tax (payroll deduc tions) and whose wages were not more than $2,700 if single or $3,500 If married. The other 15,000,000 taxpayers should think twice about Jan. 15, and ' decide, whether they have any homework to do this week end. Four Classes Listed. Many of them wonit for ex ample a person who estimated his income tax reasonably cornectiy last April and paid everything due at that time. But millions of taxpayers are affected. They In clude all payers of income tax who: 1. Were not paid wages in 1944. For example, doctor, lawyer, busi ness owner, boarding-house . land lady. 2. Were paid wages not sub ject to withholding tax. For ex ample, domestic servant, farm laborer, army officer, minister. 3. Were paid wages subject to the withholding tax but who also received income of $100 or more from other sources. 4. Were paid wages subject to thq withholding tax totalling more than $2,700 if single or $3,500 if married. Many of the 15,000,000 are fil ing their final 1944 income tax returns now instead of March 15. This has one big advantage: Those who file their final return by January 15, and pay whatever tax is due with it, can forget about any ether Jan. 15 duties. Here Are Some Ifs. But some folks don't find it convenient to file a final return now. Suppose you don't know what your 1944 income was, and arc waiting for the exact fig ures. If so, you may have some other tasks to perform Jan. 15. Read on: Being one of the 15.000.000. vou probably gave the government an . estimate of your 1944 lax lasti April 15. . If for some reason you haven't ; filed such a declaration, it is due! Jan. 15. Use form 1040-s. and make the closest estimate you can. Under the circumstances you'll have to pay the whole esti mated tax in one lump. This will hit a lot of farmers because they were not required to file declara- j tions last April. if you have alreany filed a de STEECK & SMITH ELECTRIC MOTOR REPAIR REWINDING AND REPAIRING ''a Large industrial and fractional h. p. motors , Guaranteed Work Pick-Up Service Phone 353 I 19 North Stephens LUMINAL!

Stores' Counsel Charges OPA PORTLAND, Jan. 10 (AP) The validity of national OPA ac tion in cancelling ration stamps Christmas day "after repeatedly saying such action would not be taken," was challenged today at the hearing of 14 stores charged with violations of the order. The stand was voiced by Rob ert L. Sabin, attorney for 'four Fred Meyer stores, at. a hearing conducted by Robert M. Dulln of the San Francisco office of ad ministrative hearings. The stores allegedly accepted c a n c e lied stamps and failed to apply new ration requirements on Dec. 26. Sabin accused the district OPA of acting "with lethargy, if not negligence" in relaying official information on the changes to the stores. He said newspaper charts, which the OPA advised stores to use, contained errors. Sabin contended the OPA would have done better to put its forces lo meeting the emergency abat ed by frantic public buying rath er than to have sent out Investi gators and others as shoppers to gather evidence of violations.
