Issuing
New Tax Forms for
Personal Property
Rx ]. B. zatman

A type Of personal property form
designed to produce more revenue
is being sent to- all Montgomery
County residents by the county as
sessment office.
Under the new schedule, residents
are asked to list the full cash value
of all household furniture in each
room.
Items in the schedule include
pianos, radios, books, pictures, clocks,
tapestries, washing machines, elec-
trio refrigerators, silverware, china
and glassware, linens, blankets, jew
elry not habitually worn, firearms
and household goods in storage.
Robert S. Billhimer, personal prop
erty assessor, explained that the new
form is intended to help the tax
payer as well as enable the county
to obtain a more accurate estimate
of the value of personal property in
each home and apartment.
Estimates of Last Year.
Last year, according to Mr.. Bill
himer, residents merely were asked
to estimate the total value of their
personal property without breaking
it down by items and rooms.
AS result, he said, county assess
ments did not reflect the actual
value of all personal property.
Personal property assessments last
year, he added, produced $4,000
approximately double the figure re-
allied before the personal property
law was enacted at the 1945 session
|of the General Assembly.
Mr.. Billhimer emphasized that the
taxpayer takes no exemption in fl
ing the report. He pointed out that
the $100 State exemption and $500
county exemption is made by the as
sessment Office. Both exemptions ap-
ply only TO household furniture, he
said.
Assessments are made on the basis
of the real estate tax in the area
where the taxpayer lives. The basic
county tax levy is $3.50 on each 500
assessed valuation.
Many Forms Unchanged.
Forms sent to farmers, profession
ais, commercial and industrial es-
Establishments do not differ from
those of last year.
incorporated firms, Mr.. Billhimer
said, are not required to file personal
property returns with the county
but must report to the State Tax
Commission.
There are no exemptions for pro-
fessionals and commercial and in
dustrial firms Mr.. Billhimer said.
Forms will be available by the end

Community Chest Driue May Yet AchieUe ObjectiUe

Marilyn White Of Catholic High School and Janice Drumm of St. Margaret's School were awarded War Bonds for winning the Red Feather letter-writing contest spon- sored by the Waterbury Council of Catholic Women in conjunction with the Community Chest.
 The winners were introduced by William T. Harrington, co-chairman of the contest, who outlined the form of the contest. Miss White was presented a bond by Miss Lucy Bowes, president of the Waterbury Council of Catholic Women, and Miss Drumm was given her award by Harry Liebeskind, president of the Community Chest Miss Whites winning letter was on the Girl Scouts, and Miss Drumm's was written on the activities of Lincoln House.

tions and other factors that enabled military and naval commanders to successfully plan and equip invasions throughout the world, even in areas from which no previous accurate weather data was obtainable. It was the on-the-spot meteorologist who finally set the day and hour to strike.
 Today, government weather bu- reaus throughout the world are turning from the military aspects of clmatology to peacetime applica- tions of the new science. Big new users of this information are not the military, but the leaders of American industry, utilities, transportation, ag- riculture and communications.
 Here's how 1t works in one in- dustry: The American Iron and Steel Institute is studying the year-round and year. -after-year effects of winds, rain, snow, ice, air pressure, temper ature and humidity upon iron and steel. With the aid of climatology, it will now be able to recommend prop erly treated steels for any climatic region in the world.
 Aids Building Industry
 In the case of prefabricated steel houses, the industry found that eli matologists could divide the country into five major regions and that homes built with slight variations would provide the greatest resistance to weather and the most comfort te inhabitants in each region.
 Railroads and utilities no longer will be forced to wait for disastrous storms before they begin assembling

These, plus minor cleanups in all divisions will bring the drive much closer to its quota.

BY EDWARD L. A. WAGNER
 Written for NEA Service

Washington, Oct. 25 (NEA-The government is out to pull weather's fangs by concentrating on long range determination of weather con- ditions as a new and effective meth cd of reducing the millions of dol lars of damage done by weather's ravages.
 The science of weather is rapidly broadening into two distinct phases: day-to-day forecasting, or meteorol- ogy, and long-range determination, or climatology.
 Accurate meteorology is not a new science. Global climatology was born of the wartime need to project weeks, even months, in advance the weather conditions in every part of the world where military action was planned. Such studies made the Nor mandy invasion of Europe success, despite contention of German me- teorologistS that it would fail.
 Vital to D-Day Jump Off
 Climotologists were able to show Gen. Eisenhower that the odds against his finding favorable wealth CT conditions in May were A to 1 that they would be 13 to in June but 30 to 1 in July Eisenhower took 13 to l shot and struck June 6 To delay further would have meant that the odds were mounting against the Allies each day.

the wooded hills. The signs read "No Smoking-In or Out of Cars" And they enforce them.
 The patrol maintains it's own tower in the middle of moun- tain range on the northwest side of the city. Here 8 ranger stands constant duty. There is no 40-hour week for Patrolman Ralph F. Penney, whose post is in the tower; he gets one day of month.
 The rangers also maintain more than 100 miles of f1rebreaks, 112 miles of road network within the city limits.
 Potential forest fires bring more than just the fear of fire damage to Los Angeles. Should flames sweep the timbered hills, 60 per cent of the water that normally soaks into the ground would run down into the city's lowlands, bringing disas- trous floods.
 The area covered by the city's rangers includes Swank movieland mansions and less pretentious bung- allows. The owners of all of them cooperate fully with the rangers. If they don't, stiff fines and jail terms make good perSuaderS.
