It was cast in 1735, but it has never been hung or rung. Tax bills were mailed out in Jackson county not long ago, and immediately citizens took up their favorite cry. Property taxes are too high, they say. One man reported with considerable grumbling that his taxes were almost $175. We agreed that it seemed like a lot of taxes to levy on a small cottage in a modest section of town. That evening we picked up a copy of the New York Times and read that the Rockefeller family is faced with a larger tax bill for the family's estate near Pocantico Hills, N.Y. The bill is $263,678 according to Town Supervisor Owen M. Quinn. The Rockefellers own 98 per cent of all the land in Pocantico Hills. Recent acquisitions increased their holdings to 4,180 acres. Governor Nelson Rockefeller's house is described inxthe article as a 19th century white Colonial "farmhouse" flanked by a private golf course, and the colorful flower gardens which are Mrs. R.'s pet hobby. Streams and shrubbery were "rearranged" in order that modern outdoor sculpture might have a better setting. Nearby is County House road, which causes the village wags to say to direction-seekers that "the Rockefellers are on the road to the poor house." The story further says that on a remote ridge of the estate the Governor is completing an ultra-modern guest lodge of stone and glass. It has 1,480 square feet of rooms on one level, with large terrazzo terraces. The "lodge" was first estimated to cost about $80,000 but like everything else these days, it's going to cost more than the Governor was told in the beginning. About $50,000 more. Governor Rockefeller's father also has a home on the estate. He recently donated money for a $350,000 recreation center for the Pocantico Hills Elementary school. It covers 11 acres, so the New York Times says, and has a 156-foot swimming pool, a wading pool, dressing rooms, tennis courts, parking areas and lawns. A Pocantico Hills businessman was quoted as saying that the R. family has spent $50,000,000 in the area, half for the public. The list includes hospitals, highways, churches, schools, monasteries and historic restorations. They moved the railroad a mile down the hill and have "steadily stripped Pocantico Hills of hotels, stores and even the post office, until today it does not even have a gasoline station." Well, it's interesting to know how the other half lives. m A oroeram on "How. To Live in 24 Hours a Day" is the topic which extension units of the county are studying. A storv in today s issue says the women win discuss now mucn time a homemaker should allot to her housekeeping, how much time she should spend with the children, how much for community endeavor, etc. Reading over the story, Potpourri wished she could attend one of the sessions and hear how to manage time. We ha ye never learned how to live in 24 hours a day. We make plans, and lay down rules and look ourselves sternly in the eye. But the rules and the plans and the stern looks never seem to work. The schedules never list any time to linger outdoors on a summer evening to watch the stars come out. They don't take into account the moments irresistibly spent on looking at the first daffodils in spring, or the pink clover that grows alone the oath to the barn. The experts who make out the schedules don't take into account the 10 minutes it took to hear about the newest cute saying, Aunt Sally's operation or the bride's latest cooking failure. The schedule doesn't allow 20 minutes a day to listen to office jokes and stories, or half an hour's delay because the car has a dead battery, or five minutes because the store was so crowded no clerks were available, or 10 minutes for the unexpected telephone call that came as we were ready to walk out the door. We wish the extension leaders luck in telling their mem bers how to live in 24 hours a day. According to the Cleanliness Bureau, modern soaps and detergents have driven a man in Sydney, Australia, out of business. It seems the gentleman had to give up the flea circus which he has run for 30 years he can't get "per formers" anymore. O.S. Let Dumas' Put Life Back In Your Drip-Dry Shirts!

Princess Margaiet sports a "high puffball" hairdo reminiscent of styles circa 1920 as she visits the Bermondsey youth club here. The princess was recently the center of a storm kicked up by a French news paper which reported that she would announce her engage ment to Canadian lawyer, John Turner, with permission of the Queen despite religious differences.

Fur Sportswear Highlights Fall Fashion Lines By GAY PAULEY New York -UPD- The de signer Valentina once said that mink is for football. The furrier Maximilian this fall decided it's for skating. This firm's white mink skating outfit is just one of many sportswear items made from precious furs. "The sport or spectator look in luxury furs is on the increase," said Leo Ritter, furrier and designer, "for a practical reason a woman gets more wear out of the gar ment than if it were dressy." Ritter's most extravagant offering in the sports division is a double-breasted coat with huge patch pockets. The coat is made of natural, golden beige sealskin, with a sea ot ter collar. Ritter said that since it was illegal to catch the seal or the otter, "this is probably the only such coat in the world." He bought the pelts at a pub lic auction, held by the U.S. government which had con fiscated them from trappers. "I couldn't even put a price on it," said Ritter. "It took me four years to collect the skins." Ritter's sports collection in cluded a polo coat in aolin mink, which is a pale beige and the newest shade among the mutations. It is double breasted, belted, and priced at $11,000. Maximilian's mink on ice is one piece, with the short, flar ed skirt traditional of most wool skating costumes. The sleeves reach just below the elbow and are banded in white wool knit. Wool knit, with a band of Tyrolean col ors, also shapes the midriff. The furrier used the same Ty rolean motif and knit midriff on a white fox coat suggested for after-ski wear. The average salary tt pub lic school teachers in the United States rose, from $1,995 in 1946 to $4,135 in 1956, according to the latest available statistics compiled by Tax Foundation, Inc.
