DEALERS   WARNED
ON     TAX     METHODS
A warning to dealers who boost
prices on taxed goods more than the
tax increase and represent to customers that the increase is due solely to
the imposition of added defense taxes
was given in a statement issued yesterday by the bureau of internal revenue, in Washington- Government
regulations provide a $1000 fine or a
year in prison or both to any person
who leads customers to believe that
increased price is due to taxes when
the actual tax is not as large as the
price ascribed to it-
IN   MEMORY  OF  WM.   McLEAN
LEFT: The much discussed evacuation of British children from the island
fortress that is now Great Britain, the sole European power continuing re-
resistance against the German military juggernaut, has finally begun on a
very minor scale. Three major obsta-cles to the mass transplantation of Albion's little ones to Canada and this country remain, however: children
don't want to leave their parents; parents don't want to be separated from
their children; and the Atlantic crossing is perilous because the BritishNa-
vy, doubly burdened, is unable to detail many warships to convoy protection. English children photographed before removal to these shores, show a
bewildered interest in what goes on. Not very pleasant. RIGHT: A coastal defense battery, part of the vast program for ordnance increases authorized by Congress, is "manned" by pretty Elaine Kennedy at Jamestown,
R. L Big Berthas of this type will dot the Atlantic seaboard at stragetic
points in a land defense set-up.

ANAWA 4-H   CLUB  NEWS
A sweet, tender voice is silenced,
A form so loved is gone,
A chair is vacant in the home
You're missed by everyone,
You've left us, yes, sad hearted
We miss you, oh so dear,
Bat you now rest in silence
You have past all of earth's dread
and fear.
Some day we know we will see you
When  Christ  shall  then appear,
To gather all the loved ones together
Who to ihe Lord have draw near,
We see you in our memory
Wherever we may go,
Our dear beloved Father
The one we all love so dear.
