Redistricting Effective 1 July, 1943, the territory previously known as district 28 (part of Brazil) is divided into two dis- tricts numbered 28 and 41. The boundaries of the two districts have not yet been determined. When this has been done, the geographical de- scriptions of the two districts will be published in the News Letter. Also effective on 1 July, 1943, the geographical description of district 25 (Cuba) is revised to include the Dominican Republic. Fernando Carbajal says— The fond recollections which I have of _all the Rotarians whom | have seen dur- ing my trips as President of Rotary In- ternational are too profound for me to remain silent. I should like to write all of them a personal letter expressing my gratitude for the courteous attentions they bestowed upon me, but this would be impossible, so I take this opportunity of expressing my eternal recognition to them for their kindness, which I esteem as the best reward I could have had for my efforts to serve Rotary. Newly Admitted Clubs For use in extending greetings, we give you the names and addresses of the offi- cers of the clubs recently admitted to membership in Rotary International. Com- munications received at the Secretariat from newly admitted clubs indicate that they greatly appreciate the letters of greetings from the older clubs, even though it may be practically impossible to make direct acknowledgment of the letters.

President Wheeler Wants All Club Publications Believing that a Rotary club pub- lication reflects the attitude, the activity and the virility of the club, President Charlie Wheeler has de- cided that he wants to receive a copy of the publication of every Rotary club throughout the world. Address your club publication to him at R. 3066, Palace Hotel, San Fran- cisco, Calif., U.S.A. Photograph of President Wheeler Does your club want a photograph of President: Charlie Wheeler for framing and display in your club headquarters? If so, the postcard which is being sent to each club secretary with this News Letter should be filled in and returned. The photograph then will be sent gratis, postage prepaid, to the club secretary. Your Honorary Members At the 1933 (Boston) convention, the delegates from the clubs adopt- ed an amendment to the standard club constitution reading as follows: Honorary membership shall terminate on the first day of July next after the date of election, provided, however, that the Board of Directors in their discretion may, by resolution, continue such honor- ary membership from year to year there- after. Such honorary membership may be continued by the Board although the per- son so elected has ceased to reside within or to be definitely associated with the territorial limits of the club. © It is therefore incumbent for each Rotary club operating under the standard club constitution to con- firm from year to year on the first day of July the membership of each of its honorary members whom it wishes to retain in membership. Failure to follow this procedure would appear to terminate auto- matically the membership of an honorary member. Only One Copy of News Letter to Club Secretaries Last year, the procedure of send- ing two copies of the News Letter to club secretaries was inaugurated as an experiment. A few months ago inquiry was made of club secre- taries as to the value of the second copy. A number of club secretaries indicated that they wanted to con- tinue to receive two copies and the procedure was continued in those cases. However, aS an economy measure, the mailing of the second copy of the News Letter to all club secretaries has been discontinued with the ending of the Rotary year 1942-43. 1 July, 1943 The News Letter USCNB Supplement No. 1—1943-44 For Rotary Clubs in the U.S.A. Your Tax Obligations You Must File Form 990 with Collector of Internal Revenue While the Commissioner of In- ternal Revenue of the Treasury De- partment of the United States has ruled that Rotary clubs in the U.S.A. are exempt from payment of federal income tax under the provisions of Section 101 (9) of the Internal Rev- enue Code and the corresponding provisions of prior revenue acts, the Office has also ruled that Rotary clubs must file annually an informa- tion return on Form 990 with the col- lectors of internal revenue for the various districts so long as the exemp- tion from payment of income tax re- mains in effect. This form should be obtained from the local collector of internal revenue and is required to be filed on or before the first day of the third month following the close of the annual accounting period. = It is important that EVERY CLUB IN THE U.S.A. obtain a copy of Form 990 and file it with its local collector of internal revenue as re- quired. For clubs which have fiscal years ending with June 30th, the date _for filing Form 990 would be on or before September 1st. Clubs which have fiscal years ending with May 31st would have to file Form 990 on or before August Ist. You May Be Liable for Social Security Tax Periodically inquiries are received from Rotary clubs in the U.S.A. as to whether they are liable for Social Security tax on compensation paid to their secretaries. An amendment to the U. S. So- cial Security Act provides exemp- tion far service performed in any calendar quarter in the employ of any organization exempt from -in- come tax under Section 101 of the Internal Revenue Code, if the re- muneration for such service is less than $45.00 for the quarter. Since Rotary clubs are exempt from in- come tax under Section 101 of the Internal Revenue Code, it would appear that if a club pays its sec- retary less than $45.00 every three months, it is not liable for payment of Social Security tax but that if the secretary receives $45.00 or more quarterly, the club is liable for payment of Social Security tax. If your club secretary receives from the club compensation for his services of $45.00 or more quarterly, it would be well to check the matter with your lawyer member as to the club’s liability under the Social Security Act. You May Be Liable for New “Withholding Tax” Any Rotary club in the U.S.A. which pays its secretary, or has in its employ anyone who receives a salary in excess of the exemptions allowed in the new 20% withholding tax, should become thoroughly fa- miliar with the provisions of the law governing the payment of this tax so that, effective the 1st of July, 1943, each club affected will fully comply with the provisions of the law. Details can be obtained from the nearest collector of internal rev- enue, the local banker, or a tax con- sultant. It should be kept in mind that one who may not be subject to the 20% withholding tax may, never- theless, be subject to the 3% Victory tax. Near a Cannery? AS various crops come along in different parts of the country the canners have a very serious prob- lem this year in getting the neces- ‘Sary temporary help to carry through the process of canning, de- hydrating or freezing. In order not to lose the valuable crops, it is im- portant that communities help the processors meet the manpower problem. The usual part-time ‘workers have, for the most part, been drained off either for the army or for defense plants. Hence this year it may be necessary to recruit help for the processing plants from people who would nor- mally not take employment of this sort — office and store employees, housewives, students and others. If there is a cannery or dedydrat- ing or freezing plant in or near your town, your Rotary club can render a valuable service by ap- proaching either the county agri- ‘cultural agent, the U. S. Employ- ment Service, the manager of the processing plant or the local Office of Civilian Defense, (it varies in different communities), and offer- ing the services of the Rotary club . in endeavoring to solve the prob- lem. Some communities have even gone so far as to close the business establishments in town at noon on each day for a period of two or three weeks when the crop is at its prime in order to provide assistance in processing the crop. There may be a serious shortage of canned, dehydrated or frozen foods next winter if every effort is not made now to process each crop as it comes along. . : “Click” Reports on Rotary When “Click” magazine planned a series of photo-essays on America’s gnajor organizations, it selected Ro- tary as representative of the serv- ice clubs. In its August issue, “Click” fvill present a five-page feature on Rotary International and the Ro- tary Club of Middletown, Ohio, ‘which was designated by “Click” as a typical Rotary club. When You Buy a New Car No automobile dealer can legally re- quire a prospective purchaser to turn in used cars or to buy unwanted acces- sories as part payment for a new car. Motorists should find such a statement posted prominently on the dealer’s premises. —Office of Price Administration Washington, D. C. 163rd District Gives $721.50 to Rotary Foundation The 163rd district presented a handsome gift of $721.50 to the Ro- tary Foundation. This amount rep- resents a contribution of one $25 U. S. Savings Bond from each of the thirty-nine clubs in the district. As an expression of its apprecia- tion of the assistance which the Ro- tary clubs of the 127th district gave its community, when it was struck by a terrific tornado last year, the Rotary Club of Crowell, Texas, has presented two $100 bonds to the Foundation—a contribution of ap- proximately $7.00 from each of its 21 members.

Price Panels The Office of Price Administra- tion of the United States Govern- ment works through price panels to endeavor to hold firm the cost of living on the local level.
