Readers are invited to celebrate St Patrick’s Day with a green and white theme. Tips include DIY decorations like shamrocks top hats and Irish potato centerpieces. Sample menus feature green and white dishes such as a lime gelatin fruit salad and corned beef hash puffs.
Center players run at top speed with quick turns and stops, demanding stamina and heavy leg conditioning. The piece notes tall centers face double coverage and must endure pounding under baskets. It also mentions Mayan courts, a high ski jump in Ishpeming, speed skating titles to Minneapolis residents, and hockey and boxing figures connected to military and sports history.
The Internal Revenue official Harry C Westover warned wives of servicemen they must show notarized power of attorney to sign their husbands names on 1845 federal income tax returns. Without such authority no one may sign for another, and no exception is made for military spouses. If the wife earned 1200 dollars or more last year she must file by March 15, choosing either a separate return with half community income and credits or a joint return with proper power of attorney.
Funeral services for Alexander Bender, 44, who died March 4, were held at 2:00 pm at the Adventist Church in Shafter with Elders Carl Becker and John Isaac officiating. Janzen's Funeral Home arranged. He leaves wife Lydia, two sons John G. and Leroy E. Bender, a daughter Loretta Joan, all of Shafter, four brothers and six sisters. Burial was in Shafter cemetery.
Westover announced that armed forces members overseas whose wives do not file joint returns must file by the 15th day of the sixth month after they reach the United States. The policy allows couples to change to joint returns when husbands return from abroad.
