Corporal Irene Maupin
Cpl. Irene Maupin, who is a
teletypist in a signal company
attached to the air corps in Italy,
writes to friends and relatives
here that the girls in her group
enjoyed a real American Christ
mas dinner, complete with roast
turkey and everything that goes
with it. She also reports that her
gift packages all arrived in plenty
of time for the holidays, and
were promptly arid eagerly open
ed despite their mutual agree
ment to save them all for a tree
on Christmas eve.
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. Des Moines, Iowa,
and was later sent to Daytona
Beach, Fla for advanced train
ing. She spent Christmas, 1942,
in a port of embarkation on the
east coast, sailing for N. Africa
a little after the first of the year.
Trom the first station there her
group was moved further east,
this move and the subsequent one
across the Mediterranean to Italy
being made by air in C-47 army
transports. Cpl. Maupin has been
in the same location all of her
time in Italy and writes of seeing
many interesting places, among
them the beautiful Isle of Capri.
She is looking forward to a trip
to Rome in the near future.
Her friends will be glad to
know that Col. Maupin is com

operation which she underwent
earlier in the winter at one of

Confusion Over
January 15 Tax
Date Explained
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.
(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.

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.
