December 26th!
On the day after Christmas,
And not at all strange,
Are the crowds flocking in
With their gifts to exchange.
Their socks are too large;
Their ties are too bright;
Their slippers are wrong;
Their shirts aren’t right.
They have too many pencils;
Their books they have read,
Or have two of a kind
And wish something instead.
Now I have no gripe,
For I make a good living
From people who give
Ai d keep giving and giving.
Hut if you are anxious
/ nd eager to learn
I low to give and be sure
Four gifts won’t return
For what it is worth—
The suggestion is mine,
—NOBODY BRINGS BACK
THEIR LIQUOR OR WINE.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
and a
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

party from 2:00 to 4:00 o'clock.

to Claus with some of his Alaska
reindeer, he has given notice that
they will not bo with him in

SOCIAL SECURITY TAX RATE
GOES UP JANUARY 1
The social security tax rate
for persons whose work counts
toward old-age and survivors in
surance is scheduled to increase
on the first of January, James G.
Browne, manager of the Juneau
social security office, reminded
employers and employees today.
This scheduled increase in tax
contribution is in accordance
with the 1950 amendments to the
social security law, and was en
acted by Congress in anticipa
tion of future obligations of the
program.
Employees in jobs covered by
the law will have 2 per cent in
stead of the present 1 ■ per cent
deducted from their pay begin
ning with the first of January
up to earnings of .$3600 a year:
their employers will contribute
an equal amount.
The new rates will apply to all
taxable wages paid after Decem
ber. 31, 1953, regardless of w’hen
earned.
In the meantime the Internal
Revenue Service reports that
employers will be furnished late
this year with income tax with
holding tables and Federal In
surance Contributions Act (social
security taxes) tables reflecting
rates applicable next year.
GOOD WEEK AHEAD FOR
MOVIE GOERS
The next week looks promis
ing for movie goers. Starting
with Gary Cooper in “Spring
field Rifle” Sunday and Monday,
the program continues with an
other good story Tuesday and
Wednesday. Special shows on
Thursday for the children in the
afternoon and Somerset Maugh
am's “Encore” that evening.
“The Clown,” showing Friday
and Saturday, stars Red Skelton
with Jane Greer and Tim Consi
dine. This is a hilarious, heart
warming story of a funster and a
youngster!. Together, this trio
gives you entertainment with a
new twist—laughter with a new
lift!
Two sons of famous screen
actors are in the supporting cast
with Gary Cooper. They are Lon
Chaney, whose father was the
makeup artist of the silent
screen, and Allan Hale Jr.,
whose father played robust com
edy roles until his death several
years ago.
Phyllis Baxter has the lead
f
ing female role in “Springfield
Rifle.” It is drama based on a
thrilling episode from the his
tory of the famed firearm.
“Thief of Venice” featuring
Paul Christian, Maria Montez
and Faye Marlowe, was filmed
in its entirety in the ancient city
of Venice, Italy.
To reproduce the 16th century
Venice called for much ingenu
ity on the part of director John
Brahm and all concerned, but
the task was lightened by the
--
perennial treasures of the fabu
lous and historic water city.
COLLECTIONS UP
The Territory collected more
taxes in the first 11 months of
1953 than in the entire year of
1952. This is revealed by a re
port to Governor B. Frank
Heintzleman by Tax Commis
sioner Karl F. Dewey.
