MARY, JANE, AND GLADYS
At the Corner Drug Store soon
after high school commencement,
you will hear a conversation among
a crowd of girls running something
ljke this:
“Mary, now that you have fin-
ished high school, what are your
plans?” “Oh! I don’t know, but
it’s a cinch I am not going any-
where to school yet awhile. I’ve
been in school ALL my life, and I
want to rest awhile.” “Not me,”
answers Jane, “I am going to enter
school right away while my mind is
fresh and I am used to studying be-
sides, I feel I should prepare my-
self immediately to do something
in this emergency.” “Well, what
school do you have in mind, Jane?”
“Mary, you know, I am considering
seriously taking a business course.
I met Gladys, a friend of mine, the
other day and she was telling me
of what a swell office position she
has. Said she had gotten three
substantial raises in the past few
months and” was scheduled for an-
other quite soon. She told me right
after graduating from high school,
she read in her local paper about
the Tyler Commercial College, so
she wrote them for a catalog, and
after that it was easy. She entered
that school and was delighted with
the school, its faculty, and its equip-
ment; and she met so many nice
young men and women there. That
school is all business,” she said,
“students entering and finishing al-
most every day.” She said that
hardly a day went by but that a
young man or young girl would be
sent out to fill a nice office position.
“It’s swell up there, Jane, and if
you want a real honest to goodness
business training, that’s the place
to get it, no kidding.”
Seriously, just such conversations
can be overheard in many places
where young people are gathered;
and Gladys was telling the truth
about that Tyler school for we know
of its successful history and we
think there is none better in the
South. Why don’t you write for
their catalog and see what they
have to offer you?
Ensign Ralph Watson visited rel-
atives here over the weekend. He
has been attending school at Har-
vard but has been transferred to
Jacksonville, Florida.

GeSiemosti&ld,
MAN HAS, through the
ages, tried to show his in-
nermost feelings, his rev-
erence, his hopes and his
faith in solemn ceremon-
ials of a religious nature.
TODAY, families arrange
for services that express,
as far as possible, their
love and respect for, .and
their loyalty to, the mem-
ory of departed loved ones.
Funerals of true beauty
and dignity have become
an established part of Am-
erican life.
EACH FUNERAL we di-
rect, regardless of price,
receives our considerate
personal attendance that it
may become one of the
family’s cherished memor-
ies.

NEW TAX BILL PASSES.
The streamlined income tax bill,
designed to bring about taxation
without irritation for 50,000,000
persons, was approved finally by
Congress
The measure passed unanimously
in both houses, the first time in the
memory of lawmakers that a major
tax bill has received such emphatic
approval. It went to the President
as the House, on the motion of Rob-
ert L. Doughton (Dem.) of North
Carolina, chairman of the ways and
means committee, accepted techni-
cal Senate changes.
The legislation reshuffles the en-
tire income tax structure, repealing
the wartime victory tax and setting
up new normal and surtax rates and
exemptions, while keeping actual
tax burdens at substantially their
present levels for most people.
The measure, virtually certain of
presidential approval, would:
1. Provide that some 30,000,000
wage and salary earners with in-
comes up to $5,000 no longer will be
required tc file income tax returns.
2. Change completely the with-
holding levy against wages and sal-
aries—effective next Jan. I—to de-^
auct currently the full tax liability.
Thus, beginning in 1945, these tax-
payers would owe the government
nothing at the year end. There
would be no change in the pay roll
deductions for taxes this year.
3. On 1944 income, a shortcut is
provided for these 30,000,000 tax-
payers. The government would com-
pute their taxes for them.
4. Simplified procedures are set up
for the 20,000,000 who still must
file returns. These are persons with
incomes above $5,000 and all tax-
payers with earnings over ^B100
yearly from sources other than wag-
es and salaries. For these, the
new system of normal and surtaxes
will be applicable for returns filed
next March 15 on 1944 income.
The bill retains as regular income
taxpayers some 9,000,000 persons
now paying the victory tax but
whose income is not enough to come
under present levies. Their debt
under the revised law will just about
equal their present liability under
the victory tax.
About 150,000 new taxpayers are
added, these being in the income
group between $555 and $624 an-
nually.
The legislation does not disturb
the $1,500 special exemption owed
men and women in the armed forces
in addition to their regular family
status exemptions.
Generally, under the bill, a some-
what larger tax would be levied
against single persons and married
couples without children, while the
load would be lightened to some ex
tent for taxpayers with large fam-
ilies.
This is how the legislation substi-
tutes a two-tax system for the pres-
ent three-tax system against indi-
viduals:
Victory Tax.—Repealed.
Normal Tax.—Rate reduced from
6 to 3 percent. Imposed against
each person whose annual income
exceeds $555, with only $500 exemp-
tion and no other family status ex-
emption, but with a straight deduc-
tion of 10 per cent of income up to
000. The 10 percent deduction
is in lieu of present deductions for
DUPLEX
other taxes, contributions to reli-
gious and charitable causes, and in-
terest.
Surtaxes.—The rate would begin
at 20 percent instead of 13 percent,
and the streamlines provides a uni-
form exemption of $500 for each
person in the family dependent on
the taxpayer, plus the flat deduc-
tion of 10 percent of income. Under
present law, the family status ex-
emptions are $500 for a single per-
son, $1,200 for a married couple an
$350 for each dependent.
Any wage or salary earner mak-
ing less than $5,000 and desiring to
claim more than a 10 percent deduc-
tion—in lieu cf other taxes, contri-
butions and interest—may file a re-
turn each March 15 and obtain a
refund of a part of his withholding.

for next winter’s gas heating equipment needs
Your gas company suggests this because OPA certifi-
cates for the purchase of gas room heaters are issued
cn a monthly quota basis to those who can qualify.
There are fewer applications for these certificates dur-
ing summer months. That's why you’re more likely to
secure one now. So attend to heating needs this sum-
mer v/hen purchase certificates can be had and equip-
ment is available.

you like for comfort. They eliminate "wall
