While there "Addie," as Mrs.

important ceremony honoring her
son. Harley was presented with
a gold pin for 20 years service

die informed your reporter that
the company will add one dia-
mond to this pin for each year
over the 20. We know Addie is

The couples who were the Shaw

The success of the dinner was
largely due to the culinary tai

his specialties.
The number 9 was a lucky one
for the Leroy Mattinglys. Their
son, Kelly Robert, arrived at Su-

The Mattinglys have four other

Standing on front-roW seat in
the Senate galleries, a five-year-
old polio victim from Baltimore
became our States first distin-
guished guest to be introduced to
the new session of Congress.
The little boy waved cheerfully

Tommy, whose legs are in

serves just as generous support

self.
Mr.. Eisenhower has also asked
the Congress to liberaliZe the
provisions of the Federal HouS-
ing Administrations program for
helping such work
The past interest Of Maryland
ers in the plan can be shown
from the fact that during the
1850 sd period they used more
than sol 100000 worth of FHA
insured loans for permanent
home Improvements.
Now, having been encouraged
to make 1856 "the year to fix"
it is probable that our household
ers will flight blight" on a wider

The other undertaking which
merits Statewide backing is the
observance Of Port of Maryland
Week, from January % through
January %. According to figures
from Baltimore, port activities
there have an effect on 90 cents
worth of every dollar in Mary

New Tax

CONTINUED from Page II
ty, says Mr.. Allen, is usually
between so and 60 percent of its
market value.
To quiet the fears of many up
county taxpayers, he explained
that a subdivision built next
door to farm does not neces-
sarily raise the value of the farm
land. "Only several sales of
farm land in one area for other
than farming purposes would in
dicate a trend and cause an in
creased evaluation on land in the
area"
Comforting, too, to some down
county property owners is the
statement "an expensive house in
a low-value neighborhood would
not raise the values of surround
ing properties"
The new annual assessment
will mean more work for his
office for "about two years; but
expects the load to tighten when
a group of permanent records
and maps are collected.
Tax Rates Up
In addition to the school and
State tax rate increases, Mr..
Hancock says property taxes in
the rural areas are up from "a
cents per $100 evaluation in 1854
to 36 cents in 1855 and from SO
