Not all farmers are required to file. Areas which have been zoned exclusively for agricultur al use will be automatically taxed on their agricultural value. Farm lands in areas zoned for other than agriculture may find their land being taxed on the high est use value rather than farm value unless farm owners ask for agricultural zoning on their land. To do this, the farm owner must make application at the county as sessor’s office prior to Feb. 1. There are other considerations involved in agricultural zoning. For instance, non-zoned farmland becomes disqualified if it is no longer used for farming or if the owner has granted and has out standing any lease or option to buy the surface rights for other than farm use. It is important to note that any Vol. 25 land zoned for agricultural use and taxed accordingly makes the farmer responsible for any tax differential up to a period of five years plus interest, if the land use changes.

Mrs. Boothby Leads Volunteers In Cancer Research Report REV.RENE BOZARTH then spoke with hostility about “Christian missionaries who have enslaved the nations of Africa." Rev. Bozarth was wearing cler ical garb, with a crucifix hanging from a chain around his neck, and was very obviously a Chris tian clergyman. Under Rev. Bozarth’s direction, St. Luke’s church was “high church," meaning that its rituals and practices, such as the use of the Stations of the Cross, tend ed toward those of the Roman Catholic church. In his letter, Father Bozarth said he hopes that these “tradi- tlons and customs" would not be lost, “especially since the evan gellcal St. Aidan’s (Episcopal church) now exists almost side by side with us . . .’’ Rev. Victor Gibson, who came to St. Luke’s as assistant rec tor in 1963, will continue in this position until July 1, the announ cement added. Mrs. Thomas J. Boothby, a reg istered nurse and busy homemaker of Sandy, has found time in her busy schedule to complete for the 4th year, the Local Basic Cancer Research being carried on through out the United States on a volun teer basis. This Confidential Research has over 500,000 families enroll ed in all areas of the U. S. and is a six year study to pin-point the health habits, environmental factors, and all conditions which might give a clue to the cause of cancer. Persons signing up to complete the 6 year volunteer research have in most instances been faith ful in filling out questionnaires and as of 1963 around 98 per cent of the original enrollees had been ac counted for. Mrs. Boothby acts as Group Leader #10 In Clackamas county and has 10 ladles of the Sandy- Boring area assisting her as Re- searchers, In 1959 the reseachers had interested persons to fill out questionnaires on a volunteer ba sis and each year these same people are contacted. In many in stances people filling out questlon- naries have moved and need to be traced, etc. A great effort is made to account for each enrollee. Researchers working with Mrs. Boothby are: Mrs. Agnes Hart wig, Mrs. Donald Llvesay, Mrs. Dorothy Phelps, Mrs. John Win slow, Mrs. Ralph Hames, Mrs. Oscar Guthu, Mrs. Emil Reich, Mrs. Henry Perret and Mrs. Florence Schmitz. “The research project, first in the U. S. on a volunteer basis involving so many persons, will be completed in two years and per sons working so diligently on it should feel especially gratified and Clackamas county has done splendid work,’’ reported Dr. E. Cuyler Hammond, Sc. D, in charge of this research project in New York City. Mrs. Boothby is a registered nurse at St. Jude’s Home, Sandy, and had the research packets all neatly packaged and checked for the Clackamas County Chairman, Mrs. Oscar M. Larsen, West Linn.
