HIS has been the answer of Jackson County women to the recent call for Victory Recreation vSES" ' h-?,artily C0nstulate these Volunteers upon their willingness to cooperate in a vitally needed recreational program at Camp White. 13y this really patriotic service, the V.R.V. brings a friendly home-like atmosphere to gatherings of men who train here for future battle action. In so doing, they contribute much to the morale of Amer ica s fighting men stationed in this locality . . . May we offer the reminder here that more Victory Recre ation Volunteers are urgently needed; that the services of women of all ages are sought: that a single night a month is all the time that Volunteers are asked to devote to this important work.

The amount of tha post war credit which may be used that way will be based upon the amounts of his payments for life insurance premiums, repayment of debts and purchases of some types of war bonds. For example, If a married per son's Victory tax amounted to $100, he could reduce that lia bility by 40 per cent or by $40 if he had paid out that much or more during the year for life Insurance, his home mortgage, or for the purchase of war bonds. But if he preferred, he could pay the full amount of his Victory tax and become entitled to a credit of $40 after the war. Q How will a port war credit, saved until the war ends, be paid? A. It will be credited against any taxes then due, and any balance would be paid Im mediately to the taxpayer by the government. Q. Does the taxpayer have to file a separate return for the Victory tax? A. No, it will be computed on the regular Income tax return. Q. How will an employe know just how much has been deducted from his pay during the year for Victory tax pur poses? A. His employer will give him a receipt on a special internal revenue form stating the amount withheld. The em ployer will forward a similar for mto the collector of internal revenue reporting the amount deducted. UNDER CONTROL Washington, Jan. 5.
