Any taxpayer who worked tor more than one employer during 1953 must receive a Form W-2 from each employer who withheld tax if the employee had claimed only one withholding exemption. All W-2 forms must be attached to on'e income tax return, whidh must be mailed to the District Director of Internal Revenue by midnight of March 15. "Salaried persons cannot file their income tax returns until they receive all their W-2 forms," Mr. Sauber said, "but when they are in the taxpayer's hands, the taxpayer should prepare his return and mail it in well before March 15. During the year just ended, Mayslake had a grand total of 6,351 retreatants for a new alltime record. Classes averaged over 124 at the fifty-olie retreats. This information was released by local men who are planning on attending again this year. The figure is an increase of per cent over the mark of 5,910 set the previous year, when classes averaged over 105 at fifty-six retreats. Of the 6,351 retreatants, 4,282 or 67.4 per cent were repeaters. That means 32.6 per cent were first timers. This is a rise of 2.9 per cent in the number of repeaters, who in *52 numbered 3,811.

If the mustard oif ketchup has been spilled on a washable garment, sponge out with clear water. DO NOT USE SOAP. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FRES^ THE GARMENT JJNTUL THE STAIN HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REMOVED. 2 DO NOT, if at all possible, merely allow the stain to dry out and then let the garment hang in the closet for a long time. These stains become developed with age, and then they're harder than ever to get out. Sometime^, they can't be removed at all, if the garment is not sent to the cleaner for a long time after-staining. 3. If the mustard or ketchup stain has occurred on a "dry cleanable" garment, DO NOTHING. ABOVE ALL, DO NOT RUB OR WIPE IN ANY WAY. This only forces the stain into the fabric fibers and makes it more difficult to remove. 4. ALWAYS TELL US ABOUT THE STAIN. We can then employ special spotting and "spot-: digesting" techniques prior to ordinary cleaning. Unless it's an extra-ordinarily complex procedure, there is no charge for this extra service. And you'll get your garment back in" better condition. The main thing to remember about mustard and ketchup stains is that it isn't the stains themselves that give so mucl^ trouble. It's what happens to them afterwards. So --- again, please -- DON'T RUB . DON'T USE A HOT IRON . . ; TELL US . . . and, if it's washable -- SPONGE OUT WITH CLEAR WATER ONLY. And of course, you'll always be safe with all your clothes when you BRING THEM TO -- RAINBOW CLEANERS, North Front Street, around the corner north of National Tea.
