lh«' gathering of men and boys on

importance that communications
had played in keeping th** men
going, describing the "ta p " system

“ It could take a whole day to

Sehorn. who is not generally ac

made an exception for the Vernonia
Lions Club, sponsors of the banquet
held to honor all boys who p a r

1972 73 school year, because of his
intense interest in young A m e ri

Tax Refunds Delayed by
Lack of 'New' Address
“ Where is my refund?” is a
question asked by 'thousands of
Oregon taxpayers every year
For many, the answer is that the
refund is delayed because they have
moved without leaving a fo rw ard
ing address
N o rm ally, taxpayers who have
filed their tax returns during the
last two weeks before the April 16
deadline can expect to receive their
refunds within six to seven wet*ks
from the filing date.
