Jenks and MT. Horan since Mon- day. About l5,500 property owners received increases.
 The people continue to come to the main office to consult with the general staff as to assessments and seek appeal forms. Today's gathec- ings averaged about l2 at one time. Appeals may be filed up to Jan. q. They will then be presented to the Board of Tax Review which will meet twice daily from Feb. to Feb. 20. It could not be determined to- day whether or not the appeals would be more numerous toward the end of the January date line.
 'The average appeal is from tne owner of one-family dwelling" the chief assessor said today. His is the most active type of property as to market value. Among al types of property the highest val- uation increase appealed to date his been $25,000."
 The assessor also stated he had appointed a member of his staff to undertake a breakdown compila- tion of the total valuation in- creases on the 2 types of property Ssification-fnercantile, industri- al and private
 Industrial Values Explained
 Some property owners have point ed to the fact that some industri- al property valuations as published do not equal the total worth of the same buildings of some of these companies. When questioned the Assessor stated:
 That is true. The reason for it is that some of the buildings were built or completed after June 1, l945. Therefore they cannot be in- cluded within the current Grand List. The assessment date (that is the date for placing valuation upon and assessing a piece of prop erty) is June 1 of the current year.
 Tn other instances, some of the buildings were constructed by the government during the war. In such instances this property is not taAaVaEs toSabys WC htS tlob pctS mitted to tax government owned property. However once those build ings are acquired by the private companies through purchase from the federal authorities then they will automatically become taxable locally"
 4 check shows that many build ings have been constructed locally by the federal authorities for local industries. Some of these include Scovlll Company, Chase Company. Waterbury Tool, U. s. Time. Inc. and others.
 It was decided at last nights meeting of Community Club dele- gates to defer action as to election of officers and formal organization of a Council of these clubs. A meet ing may be called Jan. a for such purposes. Temporary secretary ol the group is Harry Corden of the East End Club.

Community Action
(Continued from Page D

(Continued from Page D and the current new tax rate of 28.75 mills as well as the revaluation estimates on property until further consideration can be given to these matters.
 These factors of the city govern ment were adopted in December by the outgoing board. A public hearing was customarily held at the time at which no citizens appeared. The budget, tax rate and estimated Grand List were adopted at that meeting.
 We feel that the board and the Mayor have been unduly lax on all this, INT. Taylor said. we have been informed they did not know what the revaluation was going to amount to and went ahead with the budget anyway.
 The board represents the people. Therefore that board should be given the opportunity now as rep resentative of the people to recon sider the facts. We want more time to discover what all this means how 1t was arrived at and what is going to happen"
 Wants Rights Justified
 Some of the appropriated budget which became effective January 1 has already been spent in amounts close to Q half-mill on dollars for bond issues, salaries, etc.
 We will take this matter as far as we can to determine the answer MT. Taylor emphasized. We are all good citizens and want to justify our rights. We seek to do 1t in an orderly manner. But we will stop at nothing legally to attain our goal"
 One of last nights delegates (who asks that his name be with held) spoke of injunction proceed ings on the part of the citizens in an attempt to restrain the city from collecting taxes.
 Local attorneys generally were ol the belief that the courts would De hesltant to consider such proceed ings, or in any way interfere with the government of a municipality in such Q matter.

 "It is to be noted as the years go by that more and more people become interested in contributing to this fund. It is a just cause.

 There's reported to be a little rift in the Alaska Native Brother hood ranks, reputedly centered a. round a move on the part of the Pauls to wrest control from the PeratrOYiches, who have domiu- ated ANB for the past live years. First move was the filing by Nu- liam l.. Paul, ST., disbarred at torney, for a seat in the House on the Republican ticket. This was followed by Paul letter to the ANB camps with this significant statement of future hopes: "Qut our political division by gettIns back into the Republican party, the party that has no record UI diserimination against our people, hg Alaska made substantial progress without the meddling Of the h. dian Office' The letter was sisn- ed by William L. Paul, it is as- sumed the Junior, as he is seere- tary of the organization.
 In his letter Paul takes a crack at KlaWock and hake for alleged ly getting behind the ANB move ment to control labor in certain Southeast canneries. He planes Territorial ReresentatiYe Frank PeratroYich of Klawock indirectly and comments:
 Frank PeratroYichs union GAL aska Salmon Purse Seiners' and Cannery Workers) is getting small Ter and smaller each year. If We make a direct appeal to our peo- pie at Rake, l don't think they will hold out against us, especial Iy if it is a life and death strug- gle."

CT demand fof female coddling of which he speaks - so well exempli- fled if your cnse-repreeerts petlt- up hunger for kid glove treatment. 1 rather believe 1t reflects an acc quired appetite for woman-spol bling picked up during war years, when every branch of the woman-staffed recreation services was trying to outdo the other in lavishing starr spangled sentimental offices upon our troops where they could be reached.
 I rather imagine that many of our boys--lmpressionable and not previously accustomed to blessed uamazel attent.ons--took to this ego-inflating fare like starving ba- bies to a bottle and, after some years of it, now come home expect- ing the same saccharine as their ale and daily pacifier in private life, and ready to throw tantrums if they don't get it.
 NEEDS TO BE
 WEANED AGAIN
 When such is their attitude, they aren't adult. They've regressed sharply to infantilism on the emo- tional front; and what the situation calls for is another weaning process if they are to get back on their feet as men. But the grave question is will they face this truth and CO., operate in trying to restore ma- ture equilibrium to family relation ships?
 Also, with an excess of man-hun- gry women scrambling for mates in the post-war world. will this vain- glorious petulance be exploited by interruptions females ready to make any concessions to annex a squire, thus finally running the character of such men as your beau and thus un- dermining the finer objectives of better women?
 Tn your case, I judge that Dick $. temporarily at least, so blindly, unreasonably self-centered that &C., tually he resents your conscientious application {. to your terrific job, which consumes your total ener- gies for l2 hours each day - dur ing which tine he loafsl-and leaves you too tired of evening to be a glamour girl,o burn incense to him. or second his impulses to paint the town red. Since he does nothing conCretely to tighten your load, and indeed does much to increase your IeXhaustion-half maliciously, I think T vote with those who advise you to throw him out.
 Fortunately you are neither his wife nor his mother, so thank God that his sulky infantilism is not your problem. and waste no more energy trying to humor him. As an anti cote for your desire to marry nim, remember the specialists prophesy- more and worse conflict ahead if you do. M. H.

prAR MARY HAWORTiI.

DEAR MARY HAWORTn: The man in my life was just recently released from tho Army on his rec turn from overseas. He was lucky ln the sense that he saw little acc Linn during che war, but he IS great- ly changed nevertheless. Now l have to bow to his wishes in every particular or else I am accused of not loving him-and that hurts.
 During the whole time he was away never went out with anyone else, not once ailo we weren't engaged then either. And that's why tt hurts when he says I don't love him now. My heart Is broken in little pieces, I've heard it 80 Of- ten s.nce his return.
 We are both In the late twentles 1 am a professional woman and he has an excellent position wait ing for him, if he cares to take 1t, but that, of course, is for him to say. work every day. long hours, from a. m. to D. in. with little relief; and as 1t happens, l was hospitalized some time back with virus pneumonia and complica- tions. have been back on my job just about two months.
 HE'S AN 1DLER;
 SHE WORKS HARD
 I am still rather weak and ex- haused and as l live with my par ents, there are times when I would like to spend my evenings with Dick at home, but he never responds to i1y suggestions and if I object to his. he brings out the charge that 1 don't love him. Mother wants me to stop seeing him, but it seems I can't I am miserable with him, but more wretched without him.,
 He drinks an average amount and he smokes like chimney. don't drink or smoke, but I love music, the theater or any quiet di- version that doesn't require travel halt the night and showing ones way through crowds of people. Et>S.one in the family has differ erG ideas on what should do about Dick, from throwing him out to acc cepting his recent offer of mar riage,
 The latter, I think is out for the moment. But the problem is how to iron out our differences? I'd like nothing better than to be his wife, even If it meant staying on my job-which would try the patience of a saint. But our present discord is wearing me down. Please advise. -E. R. OMAN-SPCSLED
 IN THE SERVICE
 DEAR E. R.: A news dispatch dated December quotes 6 Boston neurologist as saying many war vet erans will wreck their marriages in the net two years by expecting the wife to be mother and nurse maid to them, treating them like babies on their return, gratifying their every wish-to compensate, says he. for all the soft living they missed in the Army.
 For my part. I doubt that this
