TAX OFFICE SWAMPED
BY BIG MAIL RECEIPT
The tax collection department
of the sheriff's office this week
started working on the heavy
mail payments of current taxes.
Final date for receiving the
three per cent discount rebate
was Nov. 15. It will be a week
or 10 days before final figures
on the payments will be avail
able. It Is anticipated that total tax
payments were heavier than last
year. A majority of the pay
ments were for the full year.
Large taxpayers such as the
California-Oregon Power com
pany, the Southern Pacific rail
road and other corporations
made their payments by mall.

FERTILIZER FOR
MADE AVAILABLE
According to word received
by County Agent R. G. Fowler,
a supply of ammonium sulphate
for Oregon farmers available
immediately has been assured
through arrangements for man
ufacturing at least 2500 tons of
this material, and possibly 5000
tons, at the new aluminum plant
at Salem.
Final arrangements for the
supply were made during a visit
In Washington of Arthur S.
King, extension specialist in
soils, who enlisted the aid of
Senator Guy Cordon and the re
construction finance corpora
tion. The Columbia Metals cor
poration acting as agents for the
RFC is operating the Salem
plant and will do the manufac
turing. Although It was necessary for
the OSC extension service to
purchase the entire quantity
from the Columbia Metals cor
poration, the material will be
distributed through local dealers
who agree to handle it on a lim
ited margin. King explains.
These maximum margins are $2
per ton. for sales made directly
off of a car or truck, and $4
per ton for material that passes
through the dealer's warehouse.
The entire cost to the growers
will be approximately the same
as the regular price for ammon
ium sulphate in past years.
Government Aiding
Government aid in making the
emergency supply available in
Oregon was obtained on the
basis that, without the unusual
arrangement, growers would be
left with practically no ammon
ium sulphate available for such
vital crops as grass seed, pas
tures and early vegetables. On
this basis the RFC agreed to sub
sidize the operation to a certain
extent and have raw materials
shipped to the Salem plant for
manufacturing. No other supply
was available now or in sight
this season in this region, says
King.
Actual distribution of the am
monium sulphate will be han
dled by the Woodburn Feed and
Supply company. Orders can be
sent to them directly by dealers
or through King's office. All
county agents have been notified
of the arrangements and can ad
vise growers or local dealers on
further details.
SIMLWYPE
E PEWS
TO "SEE"
Hollywood, Nov. 20 U.R)
Partial ability for the totally
blind to "see" through "ear
sight" has been built into a lit
tle box resembling a twin-lensed
camera, Movie Photographer
Joseph Walker said today.
The "photoelectric rang find
er for the blind," about the size
and shape of a folding postcard
size kodak, will enable blind
persons to determine the size,
distance, direction, nature and
color of nearby objects, Walker
believes.
"I am anxious, however, not
mrm
if h'A
3mv i5.vr
to build any fals hope that
my apparatus is going to be
more than the most limited kind
of substitute for eyes," the cam
eraman warned.
To Recognise Objects
"With practice, the blind
should now be able to recognize
hundreds of previously unrecog
nizable objects and detect street
curbings, but my box is not de
veloped to the point where the
user can safely cross crowded
intersections or make his way
about unaided."
Ths device, now undergoing
tests by the Braille Institute of
America, differs entirely from
radar equipment which also is
being studied as potential aid
to the blind.
Lsnie Separated
Walker, formerly assistant to
Lee De Forest, the "father" of
radio, explained that the audi
tory range finder uses two mo
tion-picture- camera lenses 10
inches apart and two photoelec
tric cells hooked into a buzzer
and earphone system inside the
box.
"Being separated, each lens
gets a slightly varied light pic
ture of objects: The closer the
object the greater the displace
ment of these images and high
er the voltage put out," he ex
plained. Thus the closer sightless
person comes to an obstruction,
the louder the buzzing in the
box becomes. A thumb screw
adjustment reveals the distance
of a stationary object, while a
moving one changes frequently
until "out of sight range." Size
and shape also can be deter
mined. REV. POLLOCK ASSUMES
