Neighborly Aid Extended
In Dallas Typical Of
Chapter’s Kindly Help
This section never had a better op-
portunity to watch the American Red
Cross at work than in 1936, when a
raging Susquehanna spread terror and
tragedy through Wyoming Valley
and sent thousands of humans fleeing
from their homes to the protection of
the relief stations which the volunteer
Red Cross workers quickly establish-
ed. Ghd
That was routine work for the Red
Cross, for it has been doing the same
thing for more than half a century."
In any part of the world, when vol-
canoes bury cities under ashes or
earthquakes topple homes, the white-
clad nurses of the Red Cross appear
miraculously, giving humans the cour-
age to begin again.
That part of the Red Cross’s work is
a heroic legend, which everyone knows.
Fewer people know about the innumer-
able neighborly services Wyoming Val-
ley Chapter performs, quietly and ef-
ficiently, here at home.
A short time ago fire destroyed .a
home near Dallas and took the life of
a little girl. Her parents and brothers
and sisters escaped in their night-
clothes. Everything else was destroyed
by the flames. There was a job for the
Red Cross. They took the family, out-
fitted them, gave them new hope, and
started them out in life again. There
was no publicity. The Red Cross want-
ed none. It was merely another one of
‘the jobs which the great humanitarian
organization carries out almost every
day.
Annual Roll Call Now
The Red Cross seeks no praise for
its work, but once a year it conducts
a Roll Call for members to raise funds
so that its work can be maintained.
The 1939 Roll Call began on Monday
and contributions are now being col-
lected by an army of volunteer workers
who are giving of their time and effort
to help Wyoming Valley Chapter.
In the scattered communities about
Dallas it is frequently difficult to con-
tact every person. Because of that The |
Post has offered its space in inviting
everyone here to join the Red Cross.
A convenient enrollment blank is
printed on this page. All that is nec-
essary is to sign name and address, in-
close a dollar and mail the coupon to
The Post. A window sticker, a button
and a membership card will be sent
out by return mail.
E. L. Lindemuth, general Roll Call
chairman, has appointed Howell E.
Rees, managing editor of The Post, as
chairman for Dallas. Other committee
members are being selected here and
the list will be announced next week
and the names of contributors publish-
- ed in The Post.

BEER IS BANNED BY JAMES
AT STATE'S FAIR EXHIBIT
Although it is too late to revise the
architecture of the freak ‘‘Independ-
ence Hall” which will represent Penn-
sylvania at the New York World's Fair
1939, Governor James did order aband-
onment this week of a plan to sell beer
and liquor close by the replica of the
Liberty Bell.
“The building is a duplicate of In-
dependence Hall in Philadelphia, birth-
place of the American Declaration of
Independence,” Governor James said.
“Its central exhibit is a replica of the
Liberty Bell. I do not think the build-
ing should be used for the dispensing
of liquors.”
The terrace on which beer was to
be sold will remain, presumably as an
integral part of the “streamlined” In
dependence Hall, against whose mod-
ernistic interior decoration architects,
antiquarians and civic organizations
have raised emphatic protest.
Commenting on the storm of critic-
ism aroused by the architectural con-
flicts in the State’s building, Governor
James explained it is too late to “make
any changes as to the general structure
and outline of the building.” The plans
were approved by Pennsylvania's
World Fair Commission, which was ap-
pointed by the Earle Administration.

Trucksville Movie Star
Granted Exemption As
“Head Of The Family”
(Special To The Post)
Washington, D. C., March 16—The
Tax Appeals Board granted Lee Tracy,
Trucksville motion pictures star, ex-
emption as the “head of a family” this
week but refused to permit him to de-
duct costs of his board and room while
absent from his home town.
The board ruled that because Mr.
Tracy provides the chief support for his
mother, Mrs. W. L. Tracy of Pioneer
Avenue, Trucksville, and her niece and
maintains the family home he is en-
titled to a 2,500 deduction accorded
any head of a family.
The stage and screen star, who vi-
sited his mother’s home twice within
the last year, also asked the board to
permit him to deduct $161 he gave to
electricians, property men and other
studio employes. The board granted
his request, ruling that tips and gra-
tuities are “ordinary and necessary ex-
penses of his Business as a professional
actor”.
A request for an allowance of $2,-
600 living expenses in Hollywood was
made by Tracy, on the grounds that
the amount represented the cost of his
- | board and room when he was not at
his Trucksville home.
fused the exemption.
Mr. Tracy had protested a $1,187"
income tax deficiency for 1934 as-
sessed by the Internal Revenue Bur-
eau. He reported an income for 1934 of
$91,870.
