Plans for making repairs on the building here and for future upkeep of this church were discussed also. with DON AMECHE BETTY GRABLE News Novelty Act Tuesday and Wednesday A Universal Picture with MISCHA AUER NAN GREY, TOM BROWN EDGAR KENNEDY ALLEN JENKINS LAST DAY tjbutie MARJORIE RAMBEAU-ALAN HALE JANE WYMAN-RONALD REAGAN CARTOON ACT Tuesday Wednesday VICTOR McLAGLEN FINAL SHOWING TODAY By DAVE CHEAYENS Associated Press Staff Abilene's grown men played soldier to cinch that West Texas city's army training center, but they played with a determined seriousness that is worth recording for benefit of other communities who have notions of similarly cashina in on national defense. was no accident, neither was it a miracle, that 50 teams dug up more than cash nine days when it became known that this money would be needed to secure leases upon whk-h obtaining the camp depended.

It was a good job of civic planning, phis hard work on the part of all hands. p. Wright, president of the Chamber of Commerce; Malcolm M. Meek, chief of staff in the financial campaign; C. W.

Gill, chairman of the option? committee; Ed S. Stewart; O. E- Radford and scores of others threw them- selves into the campaign which had been so well planned in advance that it had all the characteristics of a local One Monday afternoon the announcement was made that the army was ready when Abilene ready. Monday night the workers were selected; Tuesday night prospect cards were assigned; the campaign actually started Wednesday morning; and by Saturday night the goal was readied. That despite the fact that a Thanksgiving holiday intervened.

"Meek, as chief of staff, was ac- nctively in charge of the whirlwind campaign, reporting to Radford, general in very military. Meek directed all phases of the drive and particularly ramrodded solicitation of the big investors, securing about 78 per cent of the total funds from 75 prospects. Stewart, ax major general in charge of the division or gen-j eral campaign, took five colonels and a small army of workers and canvassed 1,000 rank and file big business, but important to the project as a whole. They completed their job in four days and raised approximately 20 per cent of the total funds. To illustrate the thoroughness of the advance organization there was another group (and space forbids mentioning all the ramifications of the campaign or the names of all who contrbutod to its success) whose duty it was to solicit firms out of town, but interested.

This was under the direction of another major general, Oswin McCarty. Wright practically gave up his own business for three months in Abilene's camp campaign. He was the army contact man and some of these contacts involved trins to Washington, Chicago and Ft Sam Houston. Working very quietly but thoroughly was another group under C. W.

options committee. His committee of 15 men optioned a total of 2,943 acres from which the camp site proper was selected; 8,900 acres for the infantry combat firing than 60,000 acres for the infantry maneuver and artillery iiring areas. There were more than 80 property owners involved, and most of them had renters, each of whom had to be seen and signed. There were several estates in the area, which meant that from four to 10 heirs of each living in all parts of the Southwest, had to be contacted. Ir all, about 225 people had to say "yes." Looks like a big job.

It was. Abilene is another of these Texas towns that likes to take on a big job and whip it down. Another of the scenes from one of the three productions to be given here Friday, Feb. 7, by the Rufus Hose Marionettes, world famous marionette show, is shown above. and "A Mouse in Noah's Ark" are the three productions to be given here.

NO. 7 Normal Tax, Surtax, And Defense Tax Rates Income taxes for 1940 are paid on net incomes and on surtax net incomes. A study of the instructions that accompany the income tax forms will show how to compute the tax on such incomes. This brief statement should serve to help to that end.

The Internal Code provides for only one normal tax rate, and that is 4 per cent of the net income less the allowable personal exemptions and credits for dependents, and an earned income credit of 10 per cent of the amount of the earned net income but not in excess of 10 per cent of the amount of the net income. For instance, if the net income is $3,000, no more than $300 earned net income credit would be deductible from the net income. Tf the net income is $4,000 or less, there is pair only the normal tax rate of 4 per cent. The personal exemption and credit for dependents are also allowable as credits against the net income for the purpose of the surtax, the resulting net income being designated "surtax net income." The surtax is imposed on surtax net incomes in excess of 000. The rates Increase as the amount of the surtax net income increases.

Cn a surtax net income of $4,000 or less there is no surtax. On a surtax net income in excess of $4,000 and not in excess of $6.000 the rate is 4 per cent of such excess. The surtax upon a surtax net income of $6,000 is $80, and upon a surtax net income in excess of $6,000 and not in excess oi $8,000 the rate is 6 per cent of such excess in addition to the $80 or a surtax of $200 upon a surtax net income of The defense tax, which the nresent tax law imposes, is a ta? of 10 per cent of the combined normal tax and surtax. The following example wil show how to compute the tax on a net income of $8,500, all of represents earned net income, the taxpayer being single and without dependents: Net income $8,500.00 Less personal exemption 800.00 Organize Choctaw County Townships For WPA Projects HUGO, Okla. organization composed of a chair-! man and vice chairman, for seven I Chic taw County townships was formed here Thursday afternoon to recommend and initiate a program of WPA projects in the count.v.
