Approximately 425 new gifts were wrapped and given as a direct result of the suggestion in the Press in their editorial drive for "an individuâ€" ally wrapped gift to suit the receiâ€" pient‘. The work of The Press and the many Highland Parkers who enâ€" tered into the spirit of the plan is greatly appreciated, both by those who were remembered and by our committee.

Highland Parkers also sent out a tremendous number of letters and parâ€" cel post: 262999 first class, and 633 sacks of parcel post. Interesting facts when one considers it was the biggest Christmas business the Highland Park Post Office has ever done. Dec. 22 was the "peakâ€"day" with 62,710 letters addressed to Highâ€" land Parkersâ€"12,000 more than the "peakâ€"day" last year. Would you say Highland Parkers had many friends? Yes. Most definitely! Why, even Postmaster Daniel L. Cobb was addressing personal Christâ€" mas cards to friends on Dec. 24! Evanston Town Hall will continue its 1941â€"42 Public Lecture Series in Cahn Auditorium, Scott Hall with three remaining programs.

Rear Admiral Clark Howell Woodâ€" ward, authority on our naval strategy, veteran of the Philippines Insurection, former Commander of the First Deâ€" stroyer Division of the Asiatic Fleet, has long been one of the United States Navy‘s most outstanding offiâ€" cers. He is scheduled to appear on the New York Town Hall of the Air on Thursday, January 1. His subject here on Friday, January 23 will be "Our Sea Power." Because of the recent developments in the national emergency, these lecâ€" tures will be of unusually great interâ€" est. Edmond ‘Taylor, expert on the techniques of psychological warfare, and author of "Strategy of Terror," will give vital information for the protection of ourselves against enemy propaganda in his lecture "Fifth Column Defense," on Friday, Februâ€" ary 20. The season will close on Friday evening, March 13, with a demonâ€" stration lecture, "The Challenge of Science," by Dr. Gerald Wendt, Diâ€" rector of Science and Education at the New York World‘s Fair. Dr. Wendt will make clear the vital imâ€" portance of science toâ€"day and in the future. Highland Park Boy Scouts of Troops 30 and 324 held their annual Christmas parties Tuesday night.

With Postmaster Cobb at the helm, letters and packages were delivered to White orchids to the men and women in our post officeâ€"a keen group of individuals. Things I never knew before: That each of the 183 Highland Park homes I stopped at twice daily last week has a distinctive, unmistakable odor about it. That dogs are in abundance in Highâ€" land Park. (Fortunately they had the Christmas spirit and didn‘t bite. Thank goodness!) That the post office can‘t keep deâ€" fense bonds and stamps in stock beâ€" cause Highland Parkers are buying them so rapidly. That "casing," in the mailman‘s verâ€" nacular, means sorting letters and placâ€" ing them into slots marked with HP house number. That "ticing out" doesn‘t necessarily mean what it implies but means putting the assorted letters into a mailbag in preparation for delivery.

Sixty independent firms in the Detroit area and 12 Ford Village plants in Michigan and Ohio have been assinged more than 50 per cent of the vast project, the statement said. _ . An estimated 6,000,000 hours will be required to produce the complex tools designed by Ford engineers. Of this total oneâ€"half has been subâ€"contracted to outside firms. Another portion ‘is being handled in the Ford plant at Hamilton, Ohio; in the village plants at Newburg, Manchester, Ypsilanti, Milford, Brooklyn, Dundee, Flat Rock, Willow Run, Waterford and Nankin Mills, Mich., and the Lincoin plant at Detroit. Most of the suppliers are working two shifts a day to produce the Ford orders. The Ford village plants, which are now devoting nearly 80 per cent of their production to defense, have exâ€" tended their working day from 8 hours to 10 and some of them are working 6 hours on Saturdays. Ninety per cent of the facilities of the great Tool and Die building at the Ford Rouge plant has been diverted to defense work and around 50 per cent is devoted to manufacturing tools for the bomber project. Bomber work also is being done in the tool shops in the pressed steel, foundry and other Rouge departments. Altogether the Rouge has been assigned one and a half million tool hours. Three miles of blueprints one yard wide are bein turned out every day from drawing developed by the engiâ€" neers designing the machines. The 400 Ford engineers and draftsmen who have been working on the project for months are consuming blueprint paper 36 inches wide at an average rate ol more than 50,000 square feet a day. Recently the rate rose as high as 75,000 square feet, which is equivalent to a sheet 3 feet wide and 5 miles long. Chicago Banks Discontinue Xma s Clubs "for Duration" Christmas Club Saving Plans in all banks of the Chicago district will be discontinued for the duration of the war and purchases of Defense Savings Bonds and Stamps offered instead, if a plan recommended by a subâ€"comâ€" mittee of the Illinois Bankers Associaâ€" tion is adopted, the Treasury Departâ€" ment was advised today. The recommendation, calling for sysâ€" tematic saving through Defense Bond A force of 1800 tool designers is working in two 10â€"hour shifts to transâ€" form these drawing into reality. and ~Stamp â€"purchases ~rather than through cash deposits, was adopted by the Defense Bonds Committee of the Chicago District of the IHlincis Bankâ€" ers Association. Members of this comâ€" mittee are Eugene W. Kaspar, Chairâ€" man, Clarence A. Beutel, Mark A. Brown, F. W. Mathison, J. E. O‘â€" Shaughnessy, and R. L. Redheffer. Action on the proposal is expected shortly by banks in the Chicago disâ€" DOROTHY FROELICH, lyric soâ€" or wife, and having a gross income of $750 or more; and married perâ€" sons lving with husband or wife, who have an aggregate gross income of $1,500 or more.

In the internal revenue district in which the person lives or has his chief place of business, and with the collector of internal revenue. HOW DOES ONE MAKE OUT HIS INCOME TAX RETURN? By following ~the detailed instructions given on the income tax blanks, Form 1040 and Form 1040A (optional simpliâ€" fied form). Ford Experiments May Give U. S. New Source of Rubber WHAT IS THE TAX RATE? A normal tax of 4 percent on the amount of the net income in excess of the allowable credits against net income (personal exemption, értdits for dependents, interest on obligaâ€" tions of the United States and its inâ€" credit) in the computation of the normal tax net income; and a graduâ€" ated surtax on the amount of net inâ€" come in excess of the allowable credâ€" its (personal exemption and. credit for dependents) against net income in the computation of the surtax net income. As a result of the pioneering of the Ford Motor Company on its rubber plantations in the Brazilian jungle a vast plan is being worked out to make the United States independent of the Far East for its supply of raw rubber, now threatened by the war. Experts of the United States Deâ€" partment of Agriculture and the great American rubber companies have viâ€" sited the Ford plantations to study the methods developed by Ford men over a period of 14 years. Using buddings of high yielding clones supplied by the Ford plantations, these experts are esâ€" tablishing experimental plantations in the countries around the Caribean Sea. The experiments take on vital signiâ€" ficance now that the war with Japan threatens to cut the supply lines to Singapore and the Dutch East Indies, on which this country depends for its entire rubber supply. A recent estiâ€" mate indicated that the reserve of rubâ€" ber now in the United States is not much more than a normal year‘s supâ€" ply. The $20,000,000 Ford project in the jungle vastnesscs of the Amazon Valâ€" ley was the fir.t serious attempt ever made to cultivate rubber in the Westâ€" ern Hemisphere, origincl home of the rubber tree. in the last century, when Brazil was the sole source of rubber, the product was obtained simply by tapping trees which grew wild. Then seeds were smuggled out of Brazil and taken to the Far East, where they were cultivated by scientific methods in a climate more conducive to quick growth. Unable to compete with the productive trees of the Orient, the priâ€" mitive Brazilian rubber industry gave up the ghost. Your Income Tax Realizing that if rubber could be cultivated in this hemispere the United States would have a storchouse of the vital product at its back door, Henry Ford obtained a concession of 2,500,000 acres in Brazil in 1927. He dispatched experts to Malaya and the East Inâ€" dies to obtain the best known clones. He assigned authorities on plant diâ€" seases to study blights that afflict growth in tropic South America. When much of the original plantation proved unsuitable, Ford men cut a new plantation from thick jungle at Beltorra, high up on an almost inacâ€" cessible plateau. Today 3,651,500 rubâ€" ber trees have been planted there. The Ford plantations are now in production on a limited scale. In 1942 they will ship about 750 tons of creamed latex to Dearborn. Each year, as more trees reach full growth, proâ€" duction will increase. By 1950, it is esâ€" timated annual production will be 7« 500 tons and the eventual goal is a proâ€" duction of 38,000 tons, the approxiâ€" mate annual rubber requirement of the Ford Company. Present production, of course, is only a small fraction of the nation‘s needs, but Ford and the Department of Agriâ€" culture experts believe that in time rubber production in the Western Hemisphere can be brought to the poillwhere!hheountrym.fi willbehculwiththe'rdhd bringing its rubber half way around a hostife world. * : ... ..3 32. rapid . i in production is the m%b-mly:a- tled country and even high wages and the construction of model communiâ€" ties to house workers have failed to attract sufficient Brazilian labor to the remote junle area where the ‘plantaâ€" types of rubber trees which resist the plant diseases of the Amazon Valley.
