INTERNAL REVENUE BUREAU
“I find that a good many of the
taxpayers who are subject to the
Unemployment Insurance Tax
under Title IX of the Social Sec
urity Act, which applies to em
ployers of eight or more, are un
der a misapprehension as to the
date on which the second Install
ment falls due”, said Thor Hen
ricksen, Acting Collector of the
Internal Revenue Service, at Ta
coma, Washington, today. .
“This tax for the year 1936 was
due on or before January 31st. A
sixty day extension was granted
and the tax became due March
31st. Some taxpayers took ad
vantage of the privilege of pay
ing in quarterly installments and
the first quarter was therefore
■due on March 31st. However, the
extension was for either the full
payment or the first quarterly
payment only, and did not extend
the time of subsequent quarterly
payments. Therefore, the second
quarterly payment is due April
30th.”
‘‘All taxpayers who are liable
for ths tax and who are making
quarterly payments should remit
the amount due for the second
quarter, to arrive at the office of
the Collector, not later than April
30th."

New Metal Is
Mined In Alaska

sion mining fraternity is the re
cent announcement of a ship
ment of 180 tons of Antimony ore
from Lignite, near Ferry, Alas
ka, to the States.
This is the first shipment of
consequence from this large min

few such shipments in the min
ing annals of Alaska. This valu
able mineral is in great demand
and is used principally in the
manufacture of alloys—babbit
metal, linotype, hard lead, and in
some instances for medicinal pur
poses.
Practically ail antimony used
in the United States is imported
from Asia, Latest metal quota

physical examination of
PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN
An attempt is being made to
secure the names of all the child
ren who are to enter the territor
ial school for the first time, at the
[beginning of the next school term
in September.
A physical examination will be
given by Dr. Morcom.
The parents who have a child
entering school for the first time
next year will no doubt be glad
to know that their child is in the
.best physical condition possible.
Such defects as decayed teeth,
poor eyesight, impaired speech
and bad hearing are sometimes
present in a child and the parents
are not aware of this fact. Ifj
corrections are necessary they
can be made during the summer
and thus permit the child to be
gin his first school year in better
condition. It is only fair that the
teacher be informed if her pupils
have any physical defects. Ad
justments can often be made for
the individual child with a physi
cal handicap, which helps to
bring about a more successful &
happy school life.
The school will be able to make
more definite plans for the com
ing year if they know the num
ber of beginners to be enrolled.
If your child is to enter school
for the first time next September
please call Mr. Pool’s residence
and give name and age of child.
No charges will be made for a
physical examination.
