Dear Governor Lane:
"Many hundreds of Balti-
moerans in the First Assessing
District, which corresponds to
the First and Second Council
manic Districts, are protesting
against the heavy increase in
assessed valuation being placed
on their homes.
. STATE LAW CITED.
"Under State law, the City
Department of Assessments is
powerless to afford the relief
demanded by these Baltimore
home-owners, since the city as
SCISSORS must1cary outsthe reg
ulations of the State Tax Com
mission.
"The basis for the numerous
protests against the current re-
assessments is that the State
Tax Commission has stipulated
that market values of houses in
the year 1914 shall be used as
the standard upon which as
sessed valuation shall be deter
mined.
"The protestants believe, and
I agree with them completely,
that the selection of 1914 stand
ards is improper, unjust and
questionably were inflated, as
compared with normal times.
DOWNWARD TREND"
'It is we'll known that for
some time now there has been
a very definite downward trend
in the real estate market. This
means that the home owners
will be saddled for the next five
years with assessments based
on inflated values, while, at the
same time, the real value of
their property will continue to
diminish.
"The protestants believe, and
again | am in agreement with
them, that values prevailing in
the year 1912 would constitute
a much more equitable and just
base upon which to fix current
reassessments. Although a war
year; 1912 still represents a pc
riod relatively normal as COM
pared with prewar and post
war years.
II believe tina the year 1912
should be selected by the State
Tax Commission as the govern
ing period for current ~reassess-
mentS.
REQUEST RECALLED.
"Some weeks ago, at my di-
rection, officials of the City De-
partment of Assessments asked
the State Tax Commission to
modify their regulations in or
der tina the situation might be
relieved. The State Tax Com
mission declined to comply with
the request.
'It is for this reason that |
am writing you, asking that you
instruct the State Tax Commits
sion to adopt a realistic point of
view of the real estate situation
and to adopt the year 1912 as
the governing period for cur
rent reassessments.
with every good wish and
kindest personal regards, I am,
"Sincerely yours,
THOMAS D'ALESANDRO, Jr.,
Mayor"

Honor to Whom Honor Is Due

A lonely spnster Anna M. Jarvis who founded Mothers Day 40 years ago memorial to her own mother and mothers all the world, died last Mo- vember in Philadelphia Pa, blind, penniless, and 84 years old
 Her death in quiet sanatorium followed long ill., Partially deaf and unhappy in her last years, Miss Jarvis died of old age, acording to her doctors.
 Deeply sentimental, she started the Mothers Day ob- the second anniversary of her mothers death by gathering few friends at her home for moral service.
 The movement spread Miss Jarvis wrote to legsla- tive and executive officers of the Nation and States ing adoption of the day legally Eventually her proddng pen, waxing sentimental, won over President Woodrow Wilson In 1914 he proclaimed the second Sunday in May flag holiday" honoring the nations mothers.
 Thereafter Miss Jarvis channeled her every activity and her modest fortune into enshrning motherhood and she began the snglehanded struggle to make Mothers Day into international observance. Today the sion is recognized in 40 countries.
 Though all alone in death, hundreds of people every where counted Miss Jarvis their friend One letter she cherished most hung the wall of her sanatorium room. From little boy it read:
 q am years old and love my mother very much. sending you this because you started Mothers Day.
 Carefully sewed to the letter was $1 bill.

 Friday, May 6, is the 53rd an mversary of the Langley airplane. Early in the nineteenth century many attempts had been made to fly. Near the end of the century, an American scientist, Langley, fitted a steam engine to an air plane. It flew a half mile distance. The steam engine was not well suited to aviation. Early in the 20th century, the French began to use the gasoline motor and found it better adapted. The first suc- cessful airplane was made by two Americans, the Wright Brothers. In 1905, one of the.r first machines flew forty-five miles in an hour and quarter.

 The earth's radius is a convent ent unit for the distance of the moon because it has to be taken only 60 times. The mean radius of our orbit is accepted for our solar system but the unit for stellar or star distances is the distance trav- eled by light wave in one year. This unit is called light year. Polaris, our North Star, is 47 light years or 276 trillion miles away.

A Tribute to American Mothers

Mothers Day has become traditional American n- stitution It is always the second Sunday in May-this year. May 9th. Only in America will you find million and queens this very special day in May, each with place of honor and her adorng subjects around her, thinking of her if they away from home.
 American women hold place in life that is unique in this enlightened day. and the honor and respect granted them extends particularly to the American mother whose guidance and love has been such large factor in making good Americans.
 Mother is close to everybody's heart and this year there will again be spontaneous recognition paid her Editorials will be written about her, gifts will be lav shed her. poets will euogze her, and each of us will find way to express this one day what IS in his heart all year
 The idea of setting aside special day to do mother honor started by school teacher, Mary Towes Sasseen of Henderson, Kentucky, who held Mothers Day ceremony in the school house in May, 1887. But the idea didn't really catch until Ann M. Jarvis of Pennsylvania firmly decided to carry out the plans be- gun by Mary Sasseen to establish national Mothers Day.
 Finally her efforts rewarded in 1914 Congress agreed to declare the second Sunday in May of each year as Mothers Day. Miss Jarvis then added the final gracious touch by selecting carnation her own moth CTS favorite flower the floral symbol of the day
 Most of will be delighted with the greeting cards especially designed and written for Mothers Day and so lovely that they express sentiments perfectly Designs are sweet amusing bouquets of flowers scented with sachets entwned by dainty bits ot lace and ribbon mschevous little children getting into jams and being comforted by mother there is type of verse sentimental, whimsical, endearing, for every mother in America and many will be sent to mothers abroad the bonds of fial affection always endure

Sunshine"
BY Mrs. Nellie Mayo Taylor

(The views expressed in this col
umn are those Of the writer and
do not necessarily express the edi-
torial opinion of The Arizona Sun.
The Editor.)
Hello there, here and everywhere.
We'll, well, the Governor of Texas
has signed state anti-lynching law
recently passed by the Texas legis-
lature. The law is the first of its
kind in Texas history. It would be
a good idea if other states would
follow suit. Lynching can happen
any place in our country where
Negroes live, even here, you know.
Down in the state of Tenn. last
week, police were investigating the
dynamite bombing of couples new
home recently bought from white
owner. Lucky no one was hurt. A
mob violence was quieted down in
Florida the past few days. Now
don't forget there are six men in
the state of Jersey who were sem
fenced to die for the death of one.
There are other cases of recent
nature that could be mentioned
here but we won't take up space
and time. However, we will say:
Why discuss the loyalty of the black
American and the future wars, and
who marries whom.
The Negro and the Indian are
the most abused, the most mis-
treated and the most prosecuted
of all Americans, and yet they are
the most loyal. Of all the Negroes
who have worked in the offices in
Washington none yet have been
caught trying to steal secret docu-
ments. The Negro is told who he
can marry, and when he marries
one the public thinks he shouldn't,
it makes headlines and unnecessary
talk. Most of us as individuals mar
ried who we wanted, or at least
who we could get. So why get up
a fever and run a temperature over
what someone else thinks, when
they don't have to ride in our little
red wagon. I hope you dig me.
We have dwelled enough with
the pessimistic side of life in other
words the gloomy side, lets change
to the optimist side and believe
everything that happens is for the
best. There never was condition
that couldn't be worse, I am told.
We owe a debt of gratitude to the
great liberals who have fought our
cause. We owe a debt of gratitude
to all those who have encouraged
us to keep on fighting for liberia
ton, against prejudice, hatred,
malice and discrimination in this
beautiful land of ours. So we mi
norities can sing with clear con-
science and a free heart "My
Country it's of thee, sweet land OF
liberty" Bye Now-so long-'til
then.

How to Prepare Meat

AAOW ~ ANPOAN A'AN~
For Freezer
IT'S simple job to freeze meat
i for future meals and you need
follow only a few simple rules to
do it successfully.
When choosing animals for freez-
ng, select those healthy ones OF
size and weight which will pro-
duce the quality of cuts preferred
by the family. Excessive fat is un-
necessary, but an ample covering
of fat protects the lean from dry
ing out during the frozen storage.
This latter does not apply to veal
since that meat has little fat.
These rules apply whether you
purchase meats from market or
produce house. Ask for quality cuts
from prime cattle, and mention
that you intend freezing them and
the butcher may be more careful
in his selection.
Once lne carcass is prepared, chill
the meat Immediately as bacteria
grow rapidly at the high tempera-
lures. Molds, bacteria and yeast
may ruin the flavor of the meat un-
less it is chilled at once.
Meat cutting is no job for
novice and should be done by the
butcher or an expert meat cutter
at a locker plant. You, however,
should specify cuts you want. if
you've purchased a carcass or part
of one. It's good idea to have the
meat cut in family size portions to
eliminate waste, since the meat
cannot, or should not be frozen once
it has been thawed.
It's popular, too, to have meat
boned since it requires less freezing
space, and since the bones cannot
puncture wrapping paper once
rney're eliminated.
Arizona sun., 1949-08-05
roper Wrapping
Saves Quality

IT'S UNWISE to economic on
! wrapping paper for frozen foods
since the meat may dry out and
freezer burns" often result. Reg
ular butcher paper. ordinary waxed
paper or grocery store type paper
are not used. Moisture and vapor-
proof paper bags or cartons made
especially for this purpose are best
They should be easy to fold. wrap
or handle. tough enough to resist
tearing. and capable of receiving
an ink or china pencil mark for
labelling.
