GAS USED FOR CD
CAN BE DEDUCTED
Washington, Aug. 30—Civilian de
fense workers who Use gasoline in
performing their sassigned dutie
may deduct its cost as a contribu
tion when computing their federal
income tax, the commissioner of in
ternal revenue notified the Office
of Civilian Defense today. However
no allowance may be claimed for
depreciation of a vehicle.
The ruling related specifically to
those,in the U. S. Citizens’ Defense
Corps, but the OCD interpreted it
as applicable also to members of
the aircraft warning service, the
Civil Air Patrol, the forest fire,
fighters’ services and others "actu
ally appoinetd by or acting upon,
supervision of a federal, state of
local governmental agency.”
Records must be kept to prove the
amount of gas used and the fact
that it was used for civil defense
work.
Christian Science
Lesson-Sermon
“Man" ' is the subject of the
Lesson-Sermon which will be read
In Churches of Christ, Scientists,
throughout the world next Sunday.
The oGlden Text is: “The steps
of a good man are ordered by the
Lord; and he delighteth in his
way” (Ps. 37:23).
Among the citaions which com
prise the Lesson-Sermon i s the
following taken from the Bible:
“Be ye therfore perfect, evn as your
Father which is in heaven is per
fect” (Matt. 5:48).
The Lesson-Sermon also includes
fhe following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, “Science
and Health with Key to the
Scripture” by Mary Baker Eddy:
“In divine science, man is the true
image of God ... If man was once
perfect but has now lost his perfec
tion, then mortals have never be
held in man the reflex image of
God. The lost image is no image.
The true likeness cannot be lost in
divine reflection. Understanding
t4is, Jesus said: ‘Be ye therefore
perfect, evn as your Father which
is in heaven is perfect’.” (P. 259).

Dieppe Raid Recalls
Swim; Griffin Editor
There At One Time
Griffin, Ga., Aug. 23—Quimby
Melton, editor of the Griflfn Daily
News shudders everytlme he reads
a story about the Commando raids
on Dlpppe.
Editor'Melton, along with many
other Georgians , was in the 82nd
Division that trained in the Dieppe
section a month, after reaching
France during World War One.
Part of the 82nd was stationed at
small French town of Wagnerau.
Troops, were billeted In the school
house, town hall, In private homes
and barns. Drills and conditioning
exercises wre held in the fields
around the village. Hard-boiled
British veterans were assigned to
each company to help in training.
Off to the north could be heard
the rumble of heavy guns.
The gun-fire didn’t bother the
Georgians. The editor's vivid recol
lectlnos of the section come from n
swim in the ocean.
Writing in his column “Good
Evening,” Melton said Co. K, 325th
Inf, had marched down to the sea
side just north of Dieppe.
“It was a long dusty hike and the
weather was hot and hutriiii.
“Arriving at the beach the com
pany was ordered to stack guns,
undress, and in company front, were
ordered to march Into the sea. As
they reached the water the com
mand was given'"fall out" and the
men dashed into the water for %

Melton was aeptain of th,e com
pany. He was in trie wateri With .the
rest of the men. Soon ■aftwyard a
large Army car dashed up’on the
The captain waded out Scythe
water. His ejies nearly jumped out
when he saw four stars on the
windshield. That meant that no
less a person than Gen. John J.
Pershing, commander-in-chief of the
A. E. F. was in the automobile.
“Can you imagine anything more
emparrassing,” Melton wrote, “than
saluting the commander-in-chief
while stark naked?
“We expjected to get a bawling
out. But we didn’t. Gen Pershing
was an understanding leader. He
only smiled and.suggested:
“ ’Capt., the nexjt time you send
your men in swimming it might be
a good idea to have a few of them
remain on the beach to guard the
clothes and arms of the others. Your
outfit would not make a very good
showing if the Germans were to
swoop down and gather up your
clothes.’ ”
“Do you wonder,” Melton added
“that all men who served in the
A. E. F. worshipped Black Jack ,,,
Pershing?” Jgg -JB |g
