Promotions in the grade usually signify no change of teachers for grade school children at the mid- year, while high school classes like- wise continue as follow-through courses of those set up last fall. Although several new classes were offered to students, pre-regis- traton was. sufficient to inaugurate but two: Business English in place of Business Training, which was a one-semester course; and the com- bination Home Nursing and First Aid course to be taught by Miss Stephenie Bogdon, nurse, Sitka Young Man In F!!il_ng School By The OWI ENID ARMY FLYING SCHOOL, Okla., Jan. 18—Completing his basic flight training at the Enid Army Flying School is Aviation Cadet Martin Bredrik, 22, son of Mr. and aska.

This means, the Collector plained, that employers should,kegan, or Janu i, 1943, which- withhold Victory Tax from: em- ever is the later. 1 ployees hired for a few hours, one |- day, or any other period to| and including one week, only tax on amounts paid over $12. If less than $12 iS paid to any one em- ployee, no tax should be withheld. Important Ruling Mr. Squire pointed out this rul ing is of particular interest to con- | tractors and other employers who | have a large payroll turnover. Oni the basis of earlier instructions, h said, some of these employers had |§! received information or interpret- ed the law to mean that it woul be necessary to compute the spe- cific annual exemption of $624 on | /a daily basis in cases where em- | |ployees worked less than one week or less than any other established | payroll period. The ruling that no tax should be | withheld from amounts less than | |$12 greatly simplifies payroll main tenance procedure in connection {with" this new law. It enables em- |ployers who maintain weekly, bi. weekly, semi-monthly or monthly payroll periods to use the optional withholding table provided by the |} government listing amounts to be withheld, in the case of virtually | every employee. Exemptions | The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has also ruled in the case of employers maintaining a bi- weekly, semi-monthly or monthly payroll period, that new employees or employees terminating their ser-| vices are entitled to the full ex- emption for the regular payroll period even though they are car- ried on the payroll for only part of such period. Thus, an employer maintaining an established semi-monthly pay- roll period, the specific exemption for which is $26, would withhold only on amounts pald to any new or retiring regular employee in excess. of $26, even though such employee worked only one day, part of a day, or any portion of such period. . r Extra Employees {payment during the calendar year, | ex- cr the date on which employment | v ALL YOU NEED IS A DAILY SPOTOF SUN | It’s ultra-violet in Summer sunshine, that helps your body store up resistance and build sound tissues.
