Many citizens of Beaverton were surprised last week to read in the Enterprise: "Notice of Special Elec tion" to be held Friday, November 26 for the purpose; enacting a New City Charter for Town of Beaverton and repealing the present charter. This is rather sudden procedure, in 1893 The Beaverton Chronicle printed a copy of the First Town Charter; 1912 The Beaverton Report er printed proposed Charter and in 1933 the Beaverton Enterprise print ed a proposed New Charter in full and a copy was mailed to every vo ter ten days before election. Why no publicity in 1943 on so vital an issue, that concerns every citizen and property owner in Beav erton? What form of City government will Beaverton have if proposed New Charter is enacted; What new pow ers will be delegated to the Council; What new provisions on granting franchises; ;How about sewer sys tems in Beaverton? The citizens of this city are en titled to know what they are voting for; When we vote for a New City Charter. What will it be; “Yes” or "N o !” Think it over. The election will be held at City Hall on Friday, November 26, 1943, Hours 1 p. m. to 7 p. m.

Must File New Report Before Dec. 15 On or before December 13, 1943, persons who derive 80% or more of gross income from farming will be required to file Declarations of Es timated Income and Victory Tax for 1943. J. W. Maloney, Collector of Inter nal Revenue, Portland, Oregoh, an nounces that those farmers who filed Declarations in September will not be required again to file in Decem ber. Farmers are defined as persons who derive 80% or more of gross In come from farming. In general Declarations must be filed by farm ers whose gross incomes required the filing of Income tax returns for 1942, or will require filing for 1943. The Collector points out that the Declarations are substantially differ ent from income tax returns, in that the Declarations call only for an es timate of Income and Victory Tax for 1943, whereas the income tax re turns for that year, required to be filed orr or before March 15, 1944, must asheretofore be a detailed state ment of income and deductions pre pared in accordance with the books or other records. ----------------- — V — ■— — — Visits Parents Mr. and Mrs. John Rohrbach were pleasantly surprised by a visit from their eldest son Willard, who is to spend his furlough at home.

Postwar Activities Babson Says Pent-Up Demands Will Boost Business Baltimore, Maryland, Nov. 26—The accuracy of any forecasts for 1944 business depends upon whether we remain at war or whether hostilities in either of the two principal the atres suddenly ceases. This pos- bility, 1 will not now discuss, but will do so In my Annual 1944 Fore cast We can be certain now, how ever, of only one thing, namely, that the War will end some day and our side shall win. With this in mind and with no time factor involved, I wish to comment upon a few special situations. Outlook for Travel Travel in general and long distance motoring have been set aside now for some time. The deferred travel de sires on the part of the general pub lic is reaching a high point. With the release of wartime pressure, with Pullman berths and plane seats again available and wi-h the freezing of ho tels and resorts by the military, the general public will start going places. Many businessmen are planning trips abroad by boat or plane to tie together once more the loose ends of their foreign interests. We are no longer an isolated nation. Our fu ture is bound up with conditions in many other countries of the world. To have first-hand knowledge of what is happening in other countries will become a familiar part of our business techniques. I am bullish on travel agencies, on the sale of travellers' checks, on the resort busi ness and on other lines allied to the great industry of public travel. Residential Building Certain wap-industry areas in which housing is now at a premium may be liquidated at the W ar"« end. Homes there may then be a drug on the market. However, the construc tion of new homes In other sections has long been stopped. Architects, contractors, supply companies and others interested in this field should look forward to considerable activity.
