Payroll Period
Weekly
Semi-monthly
Monthly
Beginning January 1, 1943, employers are required to
subtract from the pay of their employees a \ictory lax of
5% on all amounts over $12.00 per week. The amount thus
withheld is paid by the employer to the government. This
payment is recorded as a credit toward the Victory 1 ax and
Income Tax which the employee will report on March 15, 1944
for the year 1943.
What is the Withholding Reduction?
The Victory Tax is figured on all income in excess of
$624 per year ($12 per week). Therefore the employer need
not withhold a tax on all wages, but only on those over a
stipulated sum set forth in the law, depending on the length
of the payroll period. The so-called “Withholding Deduction
is the amount not taxable, and

certain prescribed tables (which are reproduced below). The
amount of tax so withheld will not always be correct to the
penny. However, this discrepancy is not important because
any overpayment will be returned to you. In many cases the
deduction will be slightly less than the actual 5%, and you
will have a small additional amount to pay when you file your
return.
The employer must furnish to each of his Employees a
Statement of Victory Tax Withheld (Form V-2), which will
show the period covered, amount of employee’s wages for the
period, and the amount of tax withheld. This must be
furnished on or before January 31, 1944 for the calendar year
1943, unless employment is terminated during the year, in
which case it must be furnished within 30 days after final

Cage play this week finds both the
high school and college teams swing
ing back into the thick of difficult
schedules that gave the two outfits
respites over the Christmas holiday
period.
Two contests are scheduled for
this weekend, the Pirates playing at
Celina, Friday, and the collegians
entertaining Wilberforce on the
Bluffton floor the same night.
At Celina, Bluffton’s big team will
meet its first Western Buckeye

March 1944 no explanation of its computation is necessary
here. However, certain credits against the tax arc allowed
then which should be mentioned now as they are an induce
ment for you to buy Government bonds. In addition to the
specific exemption of $624, credits are allowed for payments
of certain life insurance premiums, payments for liquidation
of certain indebtedness, and for additional Government bonds
purchased during the year. The amount of credit is limited
as to percentage exactly as is the post war refund. Credits
taken yearly reduce post war refund accordingly. In other
words, don’t wait till after the war to get your refund buy
all the bonds you can NOW and take your credits at the end
of each year. Here is how it works:
Example 1: John Doe, a married man with two dependent
children, earned $54 each week during 1943. During the year
Mr. Doe added four $25 War Bonds to his holdings at a cost
of $75 ($18.75X4). When he computes his Victory tax in
March 1944 he finds that it totals $109.20 (his annual income
of $2,808 less $624 times 5%). He has already paid exactly
that amount at $2.10 each week, for which his employer has
given him a receipt, as required. He is entitled to a credit for
that $75 worth of bonds he bought and held, but only up to
44% (40%4-2%+2%) of his
$109.20 is $48.04 which would
could claim as credit or refund.

Merely turning off the engine and
locking the doors of the car being
laid up may result in cot siderable
deterioration or even a ruined auto
mobile, according to tips n’eased by
Ford Motor Co. officials.
All parts must be protected, in
cluding body? engine, battery, radia
tor, brakes, clutch and tires.
Here are the recommendations for
storage of cars in private garages,
where skilled me anies are not
available to relieve motorists of
their responsibilit\‘T~
Storage should be in a clean place
with reasonably cool, even tempera
ture. Direct -unlight should be
masked out by covering windows, or
the entire car id be covered with
paper.
The car should be washed to re
move grease, oil, .ar or mud which
may injure the nish. Windshield
wiper blades std be removed, ex
posed metal .'•faces should be
touched up to p: vent rust, and all
upholstery shou be cleaned and
moth-proofed, th covered to pre
vent fading.
Chrome-plated surfaces should be
washed, then coat with light oil or
wax. Hood latt hes, hinges and
brake connections should be lubri
cated with a ligh-. oil and all doors,
windows and ventilators should be
closed securely.
Engine oil should be drained, and
the crankcase refilled with one-half
charge of rust-inhibiting oil. Then
the engine should be run for five
minutes at idle speed. Spark plugs
should be removed and two ounces of
rust-inhibiting oil injected. The
starter should be stepped on to turn
the engine over slowly for a few
revolutions to let this oil work in.
The gasoline tank should be drain
ed and the filler cap replaced to
prevent rust, and both ends of all
main fuel lines should be disconnect
ed and blown out with an air hose.
The gasoline then may be expelled
completely by working the accelera
tor or pump lever by hand. To drain
the fuel pump remove the screen and
washer holding the cover to the
upper body, and then open the fuel
pump drain plug. This will remove
any water which may have gathered.
To keep out moisture, the engine
should be sealed by placing waxed
paper over tubes and pipes after the
engine oil filler tube cover and
crankcase breather cover are remov
ed. Air cleaner and tail pipe also
should be sealed.
The battery should be removed
and stored in a cool place after all
connections have been cleaned and
coated with light grease. The bat
tery should be checked every month
or oftener when the temperature is
above 90 degrees,
heater should be
left open.

Lima St. Rose managed to keep
pace with Bluffton High’s powerful
basketball aggregation for one quart
er, Tuesday night on the local court,
but from that point the Pirates turn
ed the game into a rout in chalking
up their sixth consecutive victory of
the season, 50 to 22.
Bluffton’s undefeated outfit showed
the effects of the Christmas vacation
layoff in a low-scoring first period,
and led 6 to 5 when the stanza ended.
At the outset of the second quarter,
the visitors went out in front 7 to 6,
but the temporary spurt was sufficient
to snap the Bluffton team out of its
scoring lethargy and when halftime
rolled around the Swankmen led, 19
to 9.
Bluffton added 11 more points in the
third quarter, leading 30 to 14 at the
close of the period. It was in the
closing eight minutes, however, that
the locals really broke loose, for they
tallied exactly 20 points in the period,
to romp away to an easy victory.
With many people in Bluffton this
year observing the coming of the
new year by quietly sitting in the
comfortable chairs of their homes,
there was a mingling of emotions on
midnight Thursday as the clocks and
radios announced that the
of 1942 was replaced by
year of 1943.
