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."

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.

defensive re action of people who
are afraid they will be hurt be
cause their, feelings and pride

they have learned to defend

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

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.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE
Letter Mailed by Mistake Sends
$1,500 to Some State Department
Portland (U.R) Some
state of Oregon department at
Salem will get $1500 in $100
bills, but it will all be a mis
take. . The money belongs to the
Marks Motor Company of Port
land. But here's why it will end
up in some state office, probably
on Monday: ,
An employee of the motor
company left the $1500 in a
state envelope overnight because
it was too late to bank it. A fel
low worker saw the envelope
and in a helpful mood dropped
it into the mail.
The envelope and the mon
ey might arrive at the State
Tax Commission, the Unem
ployment Compensation Com
mission or the Motor Vehicle
Division. The company does a

lot of business with all three.
There was no return address
on the envelope ?and there was
nothing inside but money.
Until the state offices open
for business Monday, the Marks
company officials were keeping
their fingers crossed and hop
ing all the bills come home
again.
Fair Plans Unchanged
Despite Hog Disease
Salem (U.R) Outbreaks
of vesicular exanthema, a dis
ease affecting swine in some
parts of the nation, has not
changed plans for hog exhibits
at Oregon State Fair.
Though some sources reported
a "slight indication" of the dis
ease in one part of Marion coun
ty, they said thorough cleaning
and investigation would free the
county of all signs of VE by the
time the fair opens so that hogs
from other parts of the state can
be brought to the exhibits with
out danger of infection.
Multnomah county was the
only other area in Oregon where
the disease was reported.
