FIRST SAVINGS & LOAN
ASSOCIATION OF ZION
SHOWS Sc PER CENT GAIN

The year end statement of
the First Savings & Loan AS
ISOLATION of Zion, was read and
discussed by the Board of lDi-
rectors of the Association, at
it's January meeting. The to-
tai assets of the Association
showed a gain of Sc per cent
in the six months period, since
the organization, up to Deem
Der 81, 1947.
The number of subscribers
to Shares of the Association
showed a gain of more than
500 per cent, and the earnings
of the Association averaged
slightly better than 415 per
cent on Share Deposits. The
412 per cent earning rate will
permit the establishment of
substantial reserves, and also
will permit the payment of at
least 3 per cent in Dividends,
which has already been pro-
vided for by the Board of Di-
rectors of the Association.
Further expansion of the
lending activities of the Asso-
citation is in prospect, as Share
Deposits are made by the citi-
zens of the Community.
The Association officers re-
ported that 1947 was one of
the most productive years in
the history of Zion, and stated
that the First Savings & Loan
Association was organized to
help in the development of the
Zion-Benton Community.

1920" Club Has
Small Membership

Columbus, Feb. 18-The so-called
1920 Club''-World War II vet
Grams who have drawn or are draw
ing readjustment allowances under
the CT Bill of Rights-haS a COM
paratively small membership in
Ohio, Frank j. Collopy, Bureau of
Unemployment Compensation ad-
ministrator, reported today.
Of total of $4,000 Ohioans dis
charged from the armed forces up
to the end of l947, only 241 900 have
received readjuStment allowance
payments. This means that seven out
of every ten Ohio veterans have
never drawn such allowances.
Only one out of every fifty Ohio
eX-Servicemen is permanently out of
the readjustment allowance picture
Fewer than 1900 have completely
exhausted their benefits under the
program.
Nine out of every 100 Ohio vet
erans who drew one or more weekly
payments-and who were otherwise
eligible to draw 52-remained un-
employed long enough to exhaust
their allowances.
AS of the beginning of this year,
three out of every five Ohio vet
erans had never filed a claim for
readjustment allowances

Purpose OF Reappraisal Is Not For
Getting More Money" Says Official

Public officials in Noble county
are now laying the groundwork for
the first reappraisement of real es-
tate here since the depression-and
from all indications there will be
plenty Of changes.
Auditor George E. Bates will be
the top man in this setup and it
will be under his jurisdiction that
the reappraisement is accomplished.
In the background will be the
three commissioners, who must first
determine how this reappraisal will
be conducted.
Auditor Bates is now checking
every parcel of land in the county
to determine the number of forms
needed and other details which will
affect every taxing district in the
county.
Ferd F. Becker, county affairs di-
vision chief in the state tax depart
ment, said he planned series of
meetings with county auditors to
find a yardstick for fixing values.
The first meeting was set tenta-
lively for this month, with others
to be held at intervals throughout
the state.
The 1947 legislature amended the
tax laws to require county auditors
to appraise each of the 100000
parcels of land in Ohio at least once
in each siX-year period beginning
in 1943.
This calls for a new six-year ap-
praisal in 1949 but in this county as
we'll as others, officials are already
setting up machinery to bring their
tax books up to date.
Inflationary prices complicate the
problem of determining fair values.
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1948-02-19

Becker said, however, that officials
consider "the long range economic
value of a property in appraising it
for tax purposes. One goal, he said,
was to set up continuous apprais-
al system.
Becker now is compiling land and
building valuations for l947 from
county auditors reports. He said
the total Ohio valuation would not
show much change over 1916 when
real estate improvements had val
uation of $8,021 ,455,402 (billion). In
1929, the tax lists totaled $9,524,-
729, 9,325. In 1886 the valuation hit a
depression low of $6,550,645, ,388.
We've only regained one-half of
what we lost as result of the de-
preston, said Becker, adding that
some counties have not even upped
any appraisals from depression
, days
"Actually there has been no de-
tailed statewide appraisal since 1925
and 1925, Becker said. There was
a partial appraisal in 1887 but very
little increase.
Becker said he did not look upon
new appraisals as means of get
ting more taxes by hiking valua-
tions. The main goal, he said, was
to set up uniformity and equality
of assessments in the 88 counties
and various taxing subdivisions"
Il never will admit, he said,
that reappraisal is for the purpose
Of getting more money. Valuation
should never be used as an inStru-
mentality for getting more taxes
The amount of taxes to be raised
should be determined by the tax
rate

Apples may be found on the mar
ket today in greater quantity and at
a lower price than what they were
earlier this winter. The thrifty
housewife will take advantage OF
this opportunity to add both nutri-
ton and palatibility to her meals
by using apples in various ways.
EpicureS differ as to the qualities
of the perfect baked apple. In gen
eral, however, the ideal is baked
apple that holds its shape and
color.neither pink or yellowish-
has smooth unbroken skin, is tender
and juicy but not mushy, and is
delicately sweet. Some of the best
varieties for baking are Rome
Beauty, Stayman Winesap, Rhode
Island Greening, Turley, Courtland
and Baldwin.
Wash apples thoroughly and core
them without cutting through the
blossom end. Place the apples, bios
som end down, in a baking dish. Fill
holes with mixture of brown sugar
and honey, raisins softened by soak
ing or chopped soaked prunes, a bit
of butter if it can be spared, and
chopped nuts if desired The dried
fruit is suggested because it adds
sweetness and helps save sugar. Add
just enough water to the pan to keep
apples from sticking. Then cover the
dish. The steam held in by the cover
makes the apples cook faster and
more evenly. Bake at temperature
from $50 to 400 degrees F. Baking
will take about half an hour, de-
pending on the size and variety of
apples.
When apples are soft throughout
when tested in the center with a
fork, they are done. Serve hot or
cold, with or without cream.
Baked apples can also be frozen
for future use. Brown sugar and
maple syrup sWeetings are preferred
for frozen baked apples.
For freezing, follow the same di-
rections for baking the apples. After
baking, cool the apples and pack in
quart tub-shape cups between layers
of cellophane. Freeze packages and
store at six degrees below zero.

The heaviest heart sometimes
