Plea 10 Repeal Tax
On Personal Property
Rejected in County

! The Montgomery County COM
missioners yesterday denied re-
quest by w. Lawson King, Gathers
burg, prominent county dairy farm
er, that either the personal prop
erty tax be repealed or that farm
equipment and livestock be exempt
ed from the levy.
Mr.. King, who owes about $685.
in personal property taxes, charged
that the levy is not imposed on a
flair and equitable" basis.
"A carpenter who makes $40 or
s25 day from his tools is ex-
empted from paying tax on them"
Mr.. King asserted, but the farmer,
who makes his living with farm
equipment and livestock, has to pay
a tax. I think it's very unfair"
He contended that hundreds OF
county residents who are supposed
to file a personal property tax re-
turn fail to do so and go scot free"
thus penalizing those who do file
and pay the tax.
Contention Disputed.
This was denied, however, by
County Supervisor of Assessments
Wilton T. Allen, who estimated
less than per cent affected by
the tax fail to pay it. He added
the county receives about 100000
annually from the levy.
Mr.. Sauter pointed out the county
needs additional revenue and asked
where it would come from If the
personal property tax were re-
pesled. To this Mr.. King replied:
That's your problem"
He assured the board that what
ever action you take, I am going to
abide by"
A. j. Kessinger, in charge OF &C
QUESTION of land for public parking
lots in the Silver Spring business
district, reported that acquisition OF

.lishment of any additional parking

jacent to the telephone company
building; on Ellsworth drive, east

Suburban National Bank; between
Silver Spring and Thayer avenues,
from Fenton street to an alley in
the rear of Georgia avenue; be-
tween Sligo and Silver Spring ave-
nues, and on Kennett street be-
tween Thirteenth and Newell road.
County Supervisor I. G. McNayr
said about $550,O0O has been spent
of the $500 900 bond issue authorized
at the 1945 session of the General
Assembly for the purchase of land
for parking lots.

know how to play instruments and
we really have a jam session and
also make fudge and taffy."
Sometimes the going is a little
rugged, but that only adds to the fun.
This episode related by Adolph
Christensen of Mildred is typical.
Zone night seven of us went to
town to a show. On the way we ran
into a COW 1--WE were just barely
moving) and broke off a light. Then
we had a flat tire and the lights went
out. We went on to the show. On
the way back the lights went out
again and we had to go on by flash
light. We got home about 2 a. m,
but we had a good time"
Organized Recreation
Since most of the young folks
queried are members of All and
Future Farmers of America, much
of their formal recreation is provided
through these organizations. The
school and church were the other
chief sources.
Wherever the community provided
a recreation center, the young folks
spoke highly of it. A few, wistfully,
in communities not so fortunate,
wished there were some such facili-
ties.
Fortunate is the situation de-
scribed by Irene Peace of Poison:
"We have a young peoples club
which holds monthly meetings. Each
is really a party with hosts. Some
times there are lawn parties, swim
ming parties, weiner roasts, hay rides
or dances. AS you see, we usually
have plenty of entertainment"
And this described by Howard
Glazier of Kalispell:
ST believe that the country rec
reation is much poorer than the city
recreation, but up in this country
they are getting enough organization
so you can have some real fun at a
dance or pie social, etc. And the
younger people are not all that have
the fun; the older people do too. Yes,
you can drive to the city, but why
can't country people have their rec
reation right at homer"
Not so fortunate is the case of Ted
Hanberg of Fairfield:
Sin my community there is a lack
of recreation facilities. If the old
folks would support more parties and
dances, young folks would be more
enthusiastic about this type of life"
Challenge to "o1d Folks
There's a challenge and an oppor-
tunity for the "old folks"
Mary Ann Blazich of Corvallis
sums up the situation for the rural
teen ayers:
"Some people think that living on
a farm is a dull life, but it is not as
dull as it appears to be. Around here
we always find some sort of rec
reation such as camping, picnics
parties, sports and dances. Some Of
us rarely go to dances because there
is not a dance hall where teen ayers
like to go. We go to movies. AL
though we don't have very much
leisure time, we still manage to ge'
plenty of recreation"
Yes, 1--WE have fun" Apparently
not many are just dashing around
the country in bored abandon ane
becoming part of the much talked

Niryoy of Washin,gton.
By MaIvina Stephenson

A former national vice chairman
and great admirer Of the late Presi-
dent got wind of all this en- route
to Washington for the rally. Upon
her arrival, she made Decline for
national headquarters and did not
mince words over her displeasure.
And, above ALL she demanded,
Don't place me beside Mr.. Farley
at the head table"
Party chiefs assured her this al
ready was taken care of. Mr.. Farley
and his former associate would be
hotels apart. Splitting the dinner
between two hotels came at for
tunate time, what with all the dis
cord.)
AS it developed, however, Mr.:
Farley was seated beside an even
more ardent New Dealer and Roose-
welt fan than the protesting lady.
His dinner partner was not other
than Representative Mary Norton
of New Jersey, who as House labor
chairman put through most OF
FDR's labor legislation.
Needless to say, this combination
did not make for a happy evening,
and conversation sometimes seemed
strained, almost to the breaking
off point.

At the Democratic $100-a-plate
dinner Chairman Wilson Wyatt
boosted about the great "spontane-
GUS" response that had swelled the
party war chest by nearly $3.50, 900.
Apparently MIR. Wyatt did not have
in mind this little incident, referring
to the "easy come:
On the very eve of the dinner a
feminine official scanned the 500
guest list and settled her ire on the
name OF a cabinet member.
Imagine that" she stormed. "Only
$500 from =. I'll fix him."
It seems the application Of heat
brought results-because just before
the dinner the wife OF the said
cabinet member was giving away
tickets to casual friends. Seems
she had been caught at the last
minute with a stack on her hands.
The Wallace victory and the
Southern revolt which burst over
