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.
This advertisement published In the Interest
tha Camp White recreational program by . . .
THE CALIFORNIA OREGON POWER COMPANY
for 1943 on March 15, 1944.
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. (U.R)
The Office of Price administra
tion today placed under price
control all sales of five types of
used farm machines to protect
farmers from rising prices.

tractors, except crawler tract
ors, combines, corn pickers, corn
binders and motor or tractor
operated hay balers. Maximum
prices ranged from 70 to 9? per
cent of the list prices for new
equipment, depending on the
condition of the machines.
"Reports have reached us
showing that certain types of
farm equipment, sometimes an
cient, have brought prices in ex
cess of the ceilings for new
equipment," OPA said. "Pro
duction of new farm equipment
has been curtailed for the dura
tion so that many farmers have
to seek farm machinery In the
second-hand market"
The OPA said sales of used
equipment would exceed the
$320,000,000 worth sold in 1941.
