Healthy Gain Is Noted
In Polk County Values
Dallas Final figures on Polk county valuation show a healthy
gain, according to Ed C. Dunn, county assessor.
Total taxable property is up nearly $700,000 with that for
1949-50 listed at $15,830,875 as compared with $15,152,000 for
last year.
Previous figures released for
publication from the state tax
commission were based only on
estimates and were not com
pletely accurate, Dunn states.
Taxes are going to be up con
siderably in the county, howev
er, because of so much addition
al voted for schools, roads and
other Improvements, Dunn declares.
Much of the gain In valuation
Is offset by loss In value of for
est lands due to the removal of
timber. Also many small saw
mills have moved out of the
county, cutting the personal
property total.
Acreage in all three classes of
lands, tillable, non-tillable and
timber, show gains due to the
fact that much of the Camp
Adair area is back on the tax
rolls for the first time since the
war.
Tillable lands have jumped
from 130.289 acres to 135,238 on
the tax rolls. Non-tillable lands
are up from 169,429 to 176,453.
Timber lands were 52,601 last
year as compared with 53,645 on
this year's summary. Thus, total
acreage is listed at 365,337 while
last year showed acreage at
352,320.
Total value of real property
is listed at $11,542,570 as against
$11,350,550 last year. Personal
property is up from $2,397,590 to
$2,654,840.
Utilities assessment for 1949
50 is $1,906,925 as compared
with $1,651,680 last year.
The breakdown of real prop
erty valuation for 1949-50 is as
follows: Tillable lands, $4,530,
920; non-tillable lands, $1,449,
540; timberlands, $4 62,080;
structural improvements on un
platted lands, $1,437,380; platted
lands, $1,151,350; structural im
provements on platted lands, $2,-511,300.

machinery and equipment,
$688,230; furniture and equip

830; and livestock and miscella
neous, $298,950.
'NOTHING SEXY ABOUT AN ATOM'
Marilyn's 'Atom Strip Tease'
Doesn't Bother Runway Gals
By VIRGINIA MACPHERSON
Hollywood, Sept. 21. U.R A blonde movie queen crashed the
bump-and-grind circuit with an "atom strip tease" today but
the main street mamas scarcely bothered to notice.
They don't figure this new-fangled nuclear fission will ever re
place the spangled u-string
For one thing, says Betty
Rowland, the runway's red
headed "ball of fire," there's
nothing sexy about an atom.
It may be the most powerful
thing on earth, but it's no good
behind blue lights. You can't
jiggle it at the customers . . .
you can't take it off . . . you
can't even see the blamed thing.
Miss Rowland shrugged a
bare shoulder
"How," she'd like to know,
"would we ever get THAT past
the vice squad?"
Nope, says La Rowland of the
runway, she expects no compe
tition from Miss Marilyn Max
well of the movies. Even if the
censorship boys did get all hot
and bothered about her film,
"Atom Dance."
Seems those atoms are all
that stand between the voluptu
ous Maxwell curves and the
bald-headed row. That's the
way it seems.
Actually, the beautiful blond's
wearing panties and bra under
neath. And the "atoms" are
hundreds of tiny flesh-colored
balloons, glued carefully over
the same strategic spots Miss
Rowland covers with sequins.
But smack in the middle of
the dance, with Clark Gable
ogling right along with the rest
of the boys, the atoms explode.
Just like Bikini only twice as
interesting.
It takes concentration. But
Miss Maxwell is a girl with con
centrated equipment. Before
long she could explode her
atoms with a simple bump-and-grind
jiggle.
That's when the Johnston of
fice got wind of the doing and
moved in faster than chain re
action. No bumps, they ordered.
No grinds either. A little wiggle
here and there might be all
right, they guessed, provided it
was a "refined wiggle."
They also ordered up a spe
cial scene showing Marilyn
fastening the balloons to her
underdrawers. They were afraid
some bug-eyed moviegoer migbt
get the impression she's plumb
nekkid under those "Hollywood
atoms."
And that's why Miss Row
land and her sisters under the
spangles aren't worried. You
don't catch THEM disillusion
ing the baldheaded row that
way.
"This radioactivity's no good
for burlesque, anyway," Betty
sniffed. "You'd have to do it 10
miles away from the customers.
And Minsky could tell MGM
that's not good box-office. Not
when you're taking 'em off, it
isn't!
