Racci is a small tiger cat
with a white muzzle and
ringed tail, hence the name.
Really. he looks a great deal
like a raccoon. ~
His distinction. however, is
his disposition.
He regards you with a keen,
practical eye of disapproval.
No matter how much good
food and drink you put down
before this rascal, he never
gives a look of thanks.
He eats, and departs.
Not for him the purrs Of
more established members of
the feline community.
The whole neighborhood has
tried Turing him, but without
much success.
He is not wild. but lives in a
sort of roaming manner, as a
true outdoor creature should.
Sometimes he spends the
night under a porch and
creeps out at daybreak with
the sound of human voices.
He will condescend to sleep
the afternoon through on the
living room davenport. but he
never looks exactly satisfied.
Perhaps he is dreaming of
that fat mouse which he caught
for breakfast.
He probably was brought up
with dogs. for he shows no
fear of them.
This. for a cat, may have its
disadvantages some day, who
can tell?
The everyday life of cat
in the wild is much compli-
Gated by modern living. includ-
ING automobiles.
In the suburbs the streets
are narrow. and how can a
little thing be expected to
know there is any difference
between the lane and the
lawn?
Racci came into Temp Jones
house the other day. and was
greeted with less than affec-
ton by the six Jones cats.
The small cat refused to be
interested.
He was not afraid of dogs,
why should he be afraid Of
Jealous creatures Of his own
breed?
So he remained aloof in the
kitchen window, among the
flower pots. flanked by two
small logs" in tumblers.
These bits of wood are sup
posed to put forth shoots and

Arlington Re-ossessinq

The reaSsesSment of the
property of a 69-year-old
widow, Mrs. w. w. Weeks.
amounts to dispossesSion. This
is applying to more and more
retired people in Arlington.
and is a cloud over people now
working and paying for homes
in Arlington who hope to re-
tire Someday.
Assessments have been in
creased Is per cent over 1851.
The assessment is supposed to
be 40 per cent of the market
value. The market value of
real estate in 1857 is no more.
and probably less than in
1851. So unless the 1851 as
seSSment was 16 per cent or
more under the market value
in 1851, the 1857 assessment
is clearly out of line. Not even
the assessors would be brash
enough to assert that the 1851
assessment was so far under
market value. This is the as
SCISSORS justification for this
Illegal assessment:
Houses have fallen in value
but lots have increased, so
that there is a net increase
In market value on house and
lot. This would be valid only
II it would be practicable to
sell house to a customer who
would move it away. and then
sell the lot TO another Gus
toner. If there is much Of
this being done, it has escaped
my notice. No. our masters in
Arlington have not the moral
courage to assess property COR
rectly and then raise the rate
to meet the budget. That
might bring on revolt against
extravaganza.
AS to the assessors justin
cation for raising Mrs. Weeks
assessment from $3.50 to
$50, $50. 1t is ridiculous-and
dangerous. 1t will permit as
SCISSORS to force an owner to
sell or put his property to a
use contrary to his wishes.
Mrs. Weeks has an old frame
house on Is acres of land
which she has used and wants
to use as private single
dwelling. Not even our es-
teemed Board of Real Estate
Assessments believes thnt this
is worth sos, $50 to Mrs. Weeks.
They say she is surrounded by
a subdivision consisting of
houses to the value of at least
100000 each. Therefore. Mrs.
Weeks must be assessed as
though her property were cut
up into lots on which $4,000
houses are to be built,
Mrs. Weeks has three alter
natives. She can continue to
live in her home and pay the
confiscatory taxes until she
moves to the poor house. She
can sell and move to place
where she does not want to live
sentiment, memories. peace
Of mind. happiness. her rights
as a property owner are not to
be considered); or she can liti-
gate. Mrs. Weeks apparently
cannot afford this. The asses
sors are not worried about her
doing it either. They know
they can exhaust her financial
~ and physically. if she tries.
And when the assessors say
thev have to commit this in
justice Of the law-well. it Just
isn't so. The subdivision re-
ferred to is only a little closer
to her property than expensive
homes that have been in that
area for ten years. When the
assessors in 1851 put a valua-
ton on her property Of SO. $50,
were the assessors acting con-
trary to law? The property
then was worth on the market
substantially what IL is now.

Until the county government is

clothing, dressmaking, art in the
home, knitting, sewing, cooking,
and home entertaining, slip covers
and drapes, refinishing and repair
of furniture, and art metalcraft.
In 1889, state aid came into the
picture to broaden the program
with courses in typing and short
hand, and courses of a general
education nature such as civics,
English, local government and
foreign languages.
In the beginning there was
sharp division between the rural
and. suburban communities in the
county but as the gap lessened,
interest in courses first offered
downcounty has now spread 50

getting courses in world politics,
county government, conversations

been the rage for the past ten
years reflects the economic needs

Child study courses and scout
leadership are also mirrors for
Montgomery's terrific growth in
child population.
Wide Variety
A good profile of the county
we live in can be seen in the
outline of courses. In addition to
the courses mentioned above, we
find offered: health training and
physical education, millinery, in
terror design, tailoring, rug max
ing, drafting and blueprint read
ing, farm management and me-
chanics, AmericaniZation, square
dancing, symphony orchestra,
pencil sketching, portrait and still
life, sketch class for amateurs,
ceramics, gem cutting, jewelry
making, oil painting, water color,
woodwork, family financial plan
ming, bookkeeping, acetylene weld
ing, electric arc welding, automo-
tive theory and practice, and radio
theory and practice for beginners.
The complexities of the county
are also reflected in the wide
range of individuals registered;
lonely people from isolated farms,
overburdened housewives seeking
"a social evening out, professional
men of high standing looking for
relaxation, and even the emotion
ally disturbed who work out some
of their anxieties through occupa-
tional therapy.
Wide Latitude

program under Feddeman

regulations are kept at a mini
num- His teachers are encour-
aged to use their initiative and |
he bends over backwards not to
dictate their programs.
However, Feddenan makes a

to get their reactions and sugges-
tons. His office welcomes letters
