( Tax Commission Predicts Balance Of $35,000,000 Salem U.R) Oregon's tax commission Saturday predicted a balance of more than $35,000, 000 in the property tax reduc tion and corporation excise tax accounts at the end of the cur rent biennium. The balance came to light as the commission filed the state levy of taxes for the 1952-53 fis cal year. Money for General Fund The levy earmarks $91,833, 373.82 for the general fund for the next fiscal year. That amount includes a deficiency of $4,222,- OSl.So carried over from the 1951-52 year. The commission figures that the deficit will be wiped out with a balance of $284,7o9.64 left at the close of the fiscal year m the corporation excise tax ae count. On top of that, a balance of $35,359,482.21 is estimated to be left in the property tax re duction account at the end of next June. Last year the actual balances in those two accounts was $4,- 999,310.42 and $39,860,521.65, respectively. Income Tax S38, 000.000 The tax commission reported personal income tax receipts for the year now starting were set at $38,000,000, corporation ex cise tax collections at $18,000, 000 and miscellaneous receipts at S20,500.000. That will leave a gap of $15, 333,373.82 and that will come from transfers, "recapture" of unspent appropriations and reserves. The state's schopls come in for by far the largest amount of cash appropriated by the levy. Basic school support will cost S30, 986.320, an increase of nearly $1,600,000 over the last fiscal year. Portland Said Safe ' From Bombing Raids Portland (U.R) Portland ers who have been fearful of a possible enemy bombing attack on the city can rest easy, ac cording to a Chamber of Com merce official. The Portland area is not a po tential target zone for enemy bombers, Chester K. Sterrett, manager of the Portland cham ber's industries department, said Saturday. "A preliminary investigation of the Portland area using the criteria developed by the na tional security resources plan ning board reveals this area does not have sufficient population density or industrial employ ment concentration to create any potential target zones," said Stsrrett. Flying Saucers Seen By Portland People Lancaster, Calif. (U.R) Deputy sheriffs said Saturday ihey saw two "flying saucers" cne of which hovered over the earth for 18 minutes em itting 'reddish-white light and swinging like a pendulum." Deputy Sheriff Tom Mor riesy said the two objects drifted from high in the sky to an altitude of about 1.000 feet late Friday night. Then, he said, one of them leisurely moved off in a southeasterly direction but the other one "just hovered there swinging like a pendulum." Dr. Hurlock i - As We Li ve Rid Yourself of Prejudice Before It Grows Too Jitrong We all have prejudices. These are developed throughout our lives by experiences that baffle or annoy us, hurt our feel ings or pride, or make us feel inferior and inade quate. A s we grow o 1 cl e r, these prejudices tend to grow stronger. Then we. are unhap py and hard to livo with, for a person with prejudices has a chip on his shoulder and jumps at things or people he does not like. . Many people ride their pre judices to deatli, constantly thinking and talking about them, making thein stronger and more deep-rooted than they would otherwise "be. It is hard not to ride a preju dice, once it has been formed. The strong emotional feeling at tached to these ' dislikes makes them stay in the foreground. But since ihey hurt us more than they hurt the other person, it is wise to keep thiam from getting out of hand. Hei e are some ways to do this: Bring It Out in Open. 1. Bring a prejudice out in the open and examine it critically. This will help you to see some of its flaws anc'l thus reveal it is unworthy of the position it has held in your ir.ind. 2. Discuss your prejudices freely with people you trust and respect. Get taeir point of view and see if your prejudices are really justified. Chances are this will reveal how petty they are. 3. Get a more realistic idea of yourself, your abilities and dis abilities. A porson who sees him self as others see him is far less likely to hav e strong prejudices than is one who sees himself as he would like to be. LETTERS FROM READERS Coolness: "What makes a per son cold? Some people I know never seem to warm up to anyone." (A) "Iceberg" behavior is a defensive re action of people who are afraid they will be hurt be cause their, feelings and pride have been imrt in the past. From these early painful experiences, they have learned to defend hemselves by not allowing themselves to be in a position where they can be hurt again. Once this defensive wall has been built up, it is very hard to penetrate it and to get at the real person behind the wall. Parenta.1 Objections: "My hus band is always objecting to the things our children want to do. Isn't this 1 bad for them?"

PH.D. constant objections to what they want to do is very bad for them. If your children are quiet and docile, they will give in to their father's wishes, but grudgingly and with deep resentments. If, on the other hand, they are more aggressive, they will learn to. do what they want, behind his back, making sneaks and liars of them. Entertaining In-Laws: "I feel that my . in-laws are not Very friendly to me and yet I want to have them in our home. How can I do this without having a strained situation?" Young Wife (A) The easiest way to enter tain people you feel are not too friendly to you is in a large group where they can find con genial people to talk to. Try hav ing your in-laws for fairly large family celebrations, at holiday time, or when you have some neighbors in. Being with a group will keep conversation on the impersonal side, will divert the attention of your in-laws from you and will ease any strain. . (Copyright 1952, General Features Corp.)
