S. B. HILLMAN TO
 TAKE SPECIALIZED
 INSTRUMENT WORK

Stanley B. Hillman, member of the Weather Bureau staff at the air. port departed by Pan-American plane yesterday enroute to Wash ington, D. C., where he will receive specialized training in maintenance, installation, calibration and inspec- ton of radiosonde, ceilometer and RAWIN stations and equipment.
 Radiosonde consists of a set of meteorological instruments combin- ed with a small radio transmitter and assembled in a small cardboard box. The assembly is carried aloft by a free balloon. This instrument affords information concerning tenn perature, humidity and pressure of the upper air, giving three-dimen- sional picture of the atmosphere.
 The ceilometer is recently de- veloped photo-electric method of measuring cloud heights in daytime, a method which will be of great value to aviation in the future.
 RAWIN, 0 rradio pilot balloon, is an accurate direction finding meth cd which makes it possible to mea- sure upper wind above continuous cloud layers, an impossibility with ordinary pilot balloon methods. The importance of this to aviation needs no emphasis.
 MT. Hillerman expects to return to Juneau about the last of Decem- Der.

DOOR CLOSED ON BACK TAX
 ADJUSTMENTS

Evidently feeling sufficiently steep ed in their own tax troubles, Ju- neau's City Councilmen last evening sang out an unanimous No" vote against digging into tax difficulties arising from previous years.
 The decision against opening the door to claims based on prior assess ments came in action on J. J. Klein's request for refund of $295 against his protested payment of $452 in 1944 taxes on the Klein Building at Second and Franklin Streets, form erly known as the Kraft Building
 Attorney William Paul, Jr., repre- senting MT. Klein, explained that the request was based on the con- tention that the vital principle of equality of assessment had been by passed in the case of the 1924 assess ment on the building Y was cited that the very similar IOOF Build ing across the street had been as- sessed at only $14,000, whereas the Klein property was begged at $27 800.
 City Attorney Howard D. Stabler's report on the matter, however, rec commended denial of the claim, since it was not shown that the Klein assessment was excessive for that property and the character of use of the lodge building is different. It would be equally just, the at torney contended, to increase the assessment on the lodge hall, if the present Council does have authority to revise assessments of previous years. MT. Stabler, though, gave his opinion that the present Council does not have that authority.
 The Councilmen voted to accept the City Attorneys recommendation thereby avoiding setting a pre- cedent that might have called down about their heads many more com plaints from the past.
 The Council also turned deaf ear to cries to reopen the recently terminated Board of Equalization hearings for this year. Otto Ander- son, fisherman, had come forward as an example of those who had been unable to be present at the time of the Board sessions, his oc- cupation having required that he be many miles away.
 The Council, however, considered him in the same light as an ab- sentee property owner, declaring that the hearings had already been extended far beyond the normal times, that it is the taxpayers re- sponsibility to present his complaint at the appointed period.

is FARMING IN
VALLEY A GAMBLE?

The expression gamble crops" often
is heard regarding soil products in I'M
perial Valley To the extent that crop
production is at the mercy of the ele-
ments, all farming is more or less a
game of chance. Frost, drouths floods,
storms-and other elements enter into
that industry.
Here is a story, however, that routs
the foe 1t happened in the Valley, It
could be repeated as often as anyone
might make similar effort.
An ambitious resident purchased two
tracts of land totaling 160 acres. 1t was
dead" land that had passed to the realm
of tax liens 1t had been cropped at one
time, but had lain idle twenty years and
had gone back to nature. The purchase
price was $500. The new owner crop
ped it two years in rice after restoring
it to a tillable condition He realized
a creditable sum for the rice In the
meantime he had brought the soil back
to proper richness for other crops.
Then he put it all in flax and the
first crop netted him $3.50 bushels
which brought gross return of $11 900.
If this is a gamble, may there be
many more like it in the Valley.

STARLIGHT
(New York Times.)

How good it is to step forth into the
night after a day of rain and see that
the SIX yis clear, the stars are cleaning
in their accustomed places. A sky that
clears by daylight is full of radiance,
but when it clears in darkness there is
glittering promise in every winking ray
of starlight. There is reinsurance in
such stars, hung in a night sky washed
clean and made ready for clear days
to come.
Work is done by sunlight; but it is
under the stars that great dreams are
dreamed There is warmth and life in
the days sunshine; but it is the stars
that lure mans mind to the endless i'm
mensity of a universe so broad that tan
gible reality can never span it.
No night is so dark as a starleSs night,
nor is any life more drab than that of
one who has never known the thrill of
starlight after storm, the comfort of it
and the soothing assurance of stars once
more in order. Give a sailor star to
steer by and he will come home to port.
Give, an airman the company Of star
shining clear and you have given him
both certainty and direction. Give any
man a star on which to fix his. eye and
he can reach as far as his imagination
points the way.
The rains come, and the dark days of
a perverse season; and the sky clears
at evening There is a sweet smell to
the darkness, the fresh fragrance of a
ran-washed world. And there is the
brilliance of a thousand galaxies over
head, starlight in the clear night sky.

ONE DRAWBACK

(Reno New Evening Gazette.)
An electronics expert for the General
Electric Co. says the day is coming when
there will be televised selling by direct
methods instead Of lush-voiced statesmen
canvassing door to door. He says "The
shopper and housewife will be sold by
the sight of billowing suds, lush fur
coats, or the latest in gowns appearing
on televisiOn screens"
No or, would mourn the disappear
ance Of the house-to-house salesman who
wastes the time of the housewife with.
his high-pressure selling technique. This
General Electric man may be ultraoptim-
istic, however. The manufacturers of
products that are sold door to- door will
recognize that television screen can't
put it's foot in the screen door.
