only one, according to avail-
able figures with a population

dinator of the Federal Civil De-
fense Administration has ad-
vised him that the administra-

AN EDITORIAL
Building Tomorrow’s Better Texas
Under the guidance of a statewide steering committee
headed by the Governor, the Boy Scouts of Teague next
week will launch a campaign to solicit our support for Scout-
ing.
- Some time Tuesday, a worker for the Scouts probably
will ask you for a contribution. Be as generous as you can;
this year you will Hot be naked to give to a more worth-
while activity.
The slogan pf the campaign, “Building tomorrow’s bet-
ter Texas,” sums up the story. Today's Scouts will be to-
morrow’s men, and the principles leamd in Scouting are*Rure
guides to the wisdom, the tolerance, the initiative, the de-
pendability and the resourcefulness that will make tomor-
row’s Texas a better one. v

allegediy claiming false exemp- perlntendent of schools has an-
tions (dependents) on withhold-
ing exemption certificates (W-
4’s) filed with their employers.
Named In the charge* filed
on October 12, 1955 at Beau
mont were -Joseph G. Bodin,
912 Sixth Street Port Arthur and
Henry Field, 332 West ’ 15th
Street, Port Arthur, Texas.
Both charges grew out of the
failure on the part of the tax-
payers to supply information to
their employer, the Gulf Oil
Corporation, which would have
required increases in the
amounts of tax withheld from
their salaries. .
Persons convicted for such
acts are subject to a fine of
$1,000 or Imprisonment for one
year or both.
William E. Berry pointed out
that the charges were filed as
a result of the district’s en-
forcement program to ferret out
wage earners who deliberately
file exemption certificates with
their employers to reduce the
amount of taxes withheld from
their wages or who claim false
dependents on their income tax
returns.
