FEDERAL USE TAX ON HIGHWAY
MOTOR VEHICLES DUE AUGUST 31
The Internal Revenue Ser
vice this week reminded own
ers of trucks and buses that the
Federal highway use tax is due
on August 31.
In addition to the Federal
highway use tax which affects
truck and bus owners, reven
ues from taxes on motor fuels,
tires, inner tubes, retread rub
ber and other items are being
funneled into the highway
fund.
Federal tax return Form
2290, necessary for filing, con
tains a listing of the specific
tax to be paid on trucks ac
cording to the month the vehi
cle was put into operation.
Form 2290 also describes the
tax to be paid by bus owners.
Tax Forms 2290 were mailed
in June to those who filed high
way tax returns last year. Cop
ies of this form, as well as a
MINE EMPLOYEES
PICNIC AU6. 5
Employees of the Evan Jones
Coal Company and their fam
ilies enjoyed a picnic at Barry’s
Resort on Finger Lake Sunday,
August 5. with about 150 per
sons attending.
Mrs. Evan Jones, widow of
the founder of the mine, and
her daughter, Mrs. Walter Tee
land of Wasilla, were honor
guests. Mrs. Jones brought with
her a number of photographs
taken during the early discov
ery days of the Matanuska coal
Eields, and much time was spent
in reminiscing.
Jones, a Welshman, came to
the United States at the age
of 16, and worked in the Ros
lyn, Washington, coal fields,
where at one time the father
of Andy Norris, Jr. (former
jnderground foreman at the
Jones mine) worked under
Jones as fire boss.
Mr. and Mrs. Jones and their
:wo daughters came to the Ma
tanuska Valley in 1917, and or
ganized the Evan Jones Coal
Company in 1920. The mine has
seen in continuous production
since that date.
Mrs. Jones makes her home
with Mr. and Mrs. Teeland in
IVasilla.
People used to live within
their income, but today some

j helpful booklet on the tax,
j Publication No. 349, can be ob
tained from local Revenue of
fices and from state motor bur
eau agencies.
Tax returns for the year be
ginning July 1, 1962, must be
filed by August 31, 1962, for
every taxable vehicle in high
way use in July of this year.
The tax may be paid in quar
terly installments. Dates for
these installments are August
31, December 31, March 31 and
June 30.
Truck and bus owners should
also remember that vehicles ac
quired after they have filed
their 1962 return are subject to
highway use tax this year. In
these cases, a tax return (Form
2290) must be filed by the last
day of the month following the
month a truck is put into high
way use.
Revenue collected from the
highway use tax totaled $46.8
million in 1961 and $37.7 mil
lion in 1960. Increased enforce
ment efforts are planned to get
fuller compliance with this tax
law from truckers and bus op
erators.
The highway trust fund in
1961, counting proceeds from
all of its revenue sources, re
ceived a total of $2.8 billion.
The largest contributor to this
fund were motor fuel taxes,
which accounted for $2.3 bil
lion. Annual accumulations in
the highway trust fund since
it was created in 1957 total $11
billion. The amount contribut
ed by the highway use tax dur
ing this period was $177 mil-1
lion.
TRYOUTS CONTINUE
FOR GUILD PLAY
Casting for the next Valley
Theatre Guild production, “The
Curious Savage,” by John Pat
rick, will continue on Tuesday,
August 21 with all those inter
ested in acting, makeup, stag
ing, and set design asked to
meet in the Experiment Sta
tion library at 7:30 p.m.
Guild members emphasized
that all the roles in this heart
warming serio-comedy are good
ones. The cast includes parts
for six women and five men.
The action takes place in The
Cloisters, a private hospital for
mental patients, where Mrs.
Savage has been committed by
money-hungry heirs. Besides
the Mrs. Savage role, there are
parts for two young women
and three others of varying
ages. The five male roles
include two inmates, a sena
tor, a judge, and a doctor.
It was pointed out that the
play is not slapstick comedy,
but provides plenty of chuckles
with the premise that people on
the inside of a mental institu
tion are sometimes saner than
those on the outside.
“The Curious Savage” was a
broadway hit in 1951, with Lil
lian Gish playing Mrs. Savage.
Rehearsals will not begin un
til after the fair, with a ten
tative production date set for
sometime in November. Mar
ziah Miller will direct.

pinnacle of success is the kind
who won’t take no for an an

Help Asked To
Increase Safely
The Federal Aviation Agen-!
cy has asked for more pilot
help in the exchange of traffic
information to increase safety
in the skies over Anchorage.
Each year, over 300,000 land
ings and take-offs are made at
the five airports in the termin
al area. The FAA stressed that
the interweaving of flight pat
terns to and from these air- j
ports creates a considerable j
“potential confliction” prob
lem. Increased exchanges of
aircraft position information
are expected to increase fly
ing safety.
In a notice to airmen pub-!
lished by FAA in its Airmen's
Guide, all pilots flying below
2.00 feet above the ground and
within five miles of any con
trolled airport in the Anchor
age terminal area, which in
cluded Anchorage Internation
al, Merrill, and Lake Hood air
ports, are asked to keep the
tower which controls the air
port to or from which they are
operating fully informed of
their position, altitude, and in
tended route of flight in the
terminal area.
Columbia River flows 1214
miles from Columbia Lake,
B.C.. to the Pacific Ocean.
/VV^^VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVS/VS/S/S^/^WS^
This traffice information will
then be exchanged among the
towers concerned so that traf
fic advisories can be relayed
to pilots.
