St. John's Byzantine Holy Name Society To Observe 25th Anniversary Tomorrow By RAY DE CRANE NEA Special Writer Can you imagine this scene be tween two GIs fighting their way out of an ambush in Vict Nam? "Hey, Joe, you hear the news?" hollers one machine-gunner to another, "LBJ says we don't have to pay a tax on the pay we get for this." It's true. By designating Vict Nam as a combat zone, the President made military pay earned there by U.S. personnel exempt from tax, For enlisted men the exemption applies to the full pay for each month earned in a combat zone. Any part of a month is considered a full month.

A serviceman who arrived in Viet Nam on the 29th of a month eliminates from his return the full pay earned for that Deeds Recorded Among the deeds recorded at the Schuylkill County courthouse, Potts ville, were: Lehigh Materials Tamaqua, to Bylite Plains Township, all that certain tract of land, together with the buildings and improvements located in Rahn Township, $70,000.
