This program is being car ried on under an extensive system of subcontracting by which hundreds of factories provide parts for assembly. There is in evidence an attempt to make more general use of the various machine shops and small plants scat tered over the country in the production of war materials. The combined capacities of these establishments is tre mendous, and if they can be properly brought into a co ordinated effort, they will count much in accomplishing the emergency production needs.

Such a meeting should be arranged, if possible, at Klamath Falls for the benefit of the business and industrial people of this general area. THE young men who have won the junior chamber of commerce honor award for civic service received a noteworthy addition Tuesday evening in the person of Don Drury. f Mr. Drury is a comparative newcomer to the com munity, but since coming here to manage the Kalpine Plywood corporation he has given generously to civic service and has assumed many important responsibilities in that connection. The honor accorded him by the junior chamber was well deserved. (Courltiy Albany, N, y. Kuiclnro-ocfcar Ntwi) Deserved Honor CIVILIAN DEFENSE" What Is Civilian Defense? B- L.

Your Federal Income Tax PERSONAL EXEMPTIONS AND CREDIT FOR DEPENDANTS Domestic relations enter into the making of an income tax re turn. This shows itself in the matter of nersonal exemDtions. Too many taxpayers do not un derstand who Is legally the head of a family, or what is a depend ent. As a Conseanprire thev nmr. pay the government by not claiming tneir proper exemp tions and credits. Cii rnurae the audit of their returns discloses most of these errors, but not all of them, that are due to neglig ence or lack of understanding of the income-tax law and reeuia. Uons. Care is taken in nrafitna the Instructions for fillinff out the forms to make them simple and easuy understood. The taxpay er snouia study these instruc tions before makinn out his nr her return. The head of a famllv. aa He. fined by the income-tax regula tions, is an individual whn artn. ally supports and maintains in one nousenoid one or more in dividuals who are closely con nected to him by blood relation ship, relationship by marriage or y aaomion. ana whose rioht in exercise family control and pro vide for these dependent indi viduals is based upon some moral or legal obligation. As such, he or she is entitled to a nersnnal exemption of $1500. A credit of $400 is allowed for each denendent A rie-enrient i.

If husband and wife contribute to the SUODort of a denenHent the $400 credit may be taken by the one contributing the rhief support, and it may not be divid ed between them.

If a taxpayer occupies the status of the head of a family solely by reason of the existence of one or more dependents for whom he would otherwise be entitled to the credit of S400. the credit of $400 in respect of one oi sucn dependents is not allowable. For example a wid ower who occuDies the status nf a head of a family solely by rea son of the fact that ho Is main taining a home for two denenH. ent children under 18 years of age is entitled to the credit of 5400 allowed for one such de pendent and the credit fnr the other dependent Is not allow- aoie.
