Deer Hunting Dates Are Set OCAIA The Ocala National Forest deer hunt will be staged this year from Dec 1 to Dec 31. district Forest Ranger Jack Thurmond announced today. Plans for the hunt, including the datea, were submitted by Thurmond to the State Game and Fresh Water Fish commission yesterday.

The board approved the plan without change. Last season's hunt was from Nov 20 to Dec 20. Other regulations for the hunt, the largest event of its kind in the southeast, wlil be much the same last year. Hunting i again be prohibited on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Cost of permits remain the same, $5 for adults and $2 for hunters under 18.

For the first time, hunting with bows and arrows will be officially permitted.

This story of a character actually trying to get himself extra-taxed doesn't sound so unbelievable when you hear officers of the Bureau of Internal Revenue's Intelligence Unit tell it. They say it is happening all over the country now that some 8.000 new investigators and other personnel have been added to the staff of Woolf. chief of the Intelligence Unit, to check up on lush war profits.

Some cases are perfectly honest. There always have been persons who really forget certain sums and wish either to foot their share of the nation's expenses or avoid penalties. But the Intelligence agents trace the flurry to get under the line to Individuals who made big money out of the war and wanted to keep it all. Those who "suddenly remember" errors before being pounced on by investigators are permitted to settle for a 50 percent penalty, plus delinquent taxes, plus Interest. If the aarents get there first, it's just too bad.

Pleas of guilt or conviction in tax evasion are dollars and fines ranging from "hundreds of thousands to millions," say the revenue men. Last year internal revenue collected in additional taxes and penalties $116,784,019.87 at a total cost of $6,000,000 to the government. Intelligence officers say that if a person makes less than $10,000 a year and files his return in good faith he likely will not be bothered if his addition and subtraction are correct. He'll likely never hear from it if, in confusion 2 Lions Honored For Attendance Xeel Sam Walters and Perry ere honored yesterday by Tallahassee Lions club.

WARSAW, lJV The slaying of 22 Jews attempting to flee a new wave of persecution In Poland was reported today as the government prepared to execute nine persons convicted of instigating the bloody July 4 pogrom at Kielce. Meanwhile August Cardinal Hlond placed responsibility for "dangerous tensions" In Poland upon Jewish governmental officials. The cardinal attributed "deterioration" In the Internal situa tion in Poland "to Jews who today occupy leading positions in Poland's government and try to introduce a governmental structure which a majority of the people do not desire." Replying to charges by Premier Edward Osubka-Morawski thatw Catholic church officials in Poland had refused to condemn the Kielce pogrom, the cardinal said a pastoral letter read in churches July 7 deplored the "tragic and regrettable events of Kielce." The 22 newly reported slayings occurred on highways and railroad trains between Lodz and Wroclaw as the victims were participating in the mass flights which followed the pogrom. Outlawed bands hidden in the forests were blamed for the deaths.

All reports Indicated that while the government apparently was doing its utmost to give protection to the Jews. anti-Semitic acts were spreading throughout the country. Even the use of armored cars and the reinforcing of militia and security police by the government have not halted the upsurge of violence. The Jewish people those who have known tragedy under the Nazi occupation and those beir.f repatriated by the tens of thou- sands from Russia are seeking to protect themselves by massing in semi-stockades situated in various sectors of Poland.

Senator Mitchell D-Wash de-rlared that the committee "further considers the possibility of legislative action to insure" May's appearance. May could not be reached immediately for comment. In a change of plans, the committee called back Albert Jacob-eon, legal consultant the chemical warfare service, for further questioning on contracts and advance payments to Bataria and Erie Basin Metal Products companies.

This is not altruism nor, say the agents, an invitation to dodge a dime of taxes. It's Just that checks on small incomes are too much trouble except in cases of excessive wilful tax evasion.

The agents are after sequestered incomes of "big game." Of course. Intelligence Is eternally after the black-marketeers in food, gas. tires, alcohol and such and these are the vast majority of those who now tell the tax collector they Just suddenly rememberd sums they had failed to report as income. A very Important point in all this Is that agents are authorized to examine a suspect's bank account and even quiz third parties who had any dealings with or knowledge of him. They may act on evidence gleaned from newspaper Items, brokerage accounts, letters from disgruntled or discharged employes.

In such manner two men in Connecticut were found to have evaded some $300,000 taxes on poultry sales.

BIG AUCTION SALE OF PUREBRED DUROC HOGS AT RIVER CREEK PLANTATION (Located six miles west of Thomasville on Cairo road, U. S. No. 84) THOMASVILLE, GEORGIA ON Thursday, July 18th 1:00 P.M.

In addition to a large offering of young breeding stock, we are selling four-fifths of our herd stock. This herd is one of the finest in the whole country, and the sale offers you a rare opportunity to get some of these top-quality Durocs to add to your herd. Here are the classes which will be auctioned off: HERD BOARDS (Including the greatest living Duroc boar, the $2,000.00 PROUD CHERRY KING) HERD SOWS (Proved producers of outstanding pigs) YOUNG SOWS BRED GILTS OPEN GILTS YOUNG BOARS (An especially large lot) SPRING PIGS (Both sexes) WEANED PIGS (Both sexes) SOWS WITH PIGS Now Is the time to replace your scrub boars with good purebred, the kind that will produce real pigs for you. Feed is much too costly to give to wasteful scrub hogs purebreds and first-crosses will turn every bit of that feed Into high-priced pork for you. The many fanners who were at our sale two years ago and bought good young boars for less than actual meat prices can testify to the solid Improvements which resulted in their own hog herds.

Auction Sale starts promptly at 1:00 m. Come early, bring your friends, and look over the offering.
