Try and By BENNETT CERF- A BLONDE BOMBSHELL, whose name you would recog nize, was signed to play the highly sexed heroine in the screen version of an explosive best seller. The bomb shell s agent exulted, 1 "This should be a new high in your career. Do you know that the studio 1 paid $300,000 for this novel?" "Holy cow," ex claimed the bombshelL "Why didn't they borrow it from the library?" In his journal, Henry David Thoreau, author of "Walden," lamented that one of his own favorite books, "A Week on the Concord and Merrimac Rivers " (now generally ac cepted as an American classic) was published In 1849, when the entire country wanted to read about nothing but the gold rush In California. Who wanted a book about familiar old New Eng land at a tune like that? "The edition was limited to a thousand copies," wrote Thoreau Badly, "and eventually I had to buy most of these myself I have now a library of neatly nine hundred volumes, over seven bundled of which I wrote myself." Home from Coney Island, a ten-year-old sprout came down ivith a terrible stomach-ache. The experienced father told the doctor, "Probably 40 or 60 of the things he ate didn't agree with him." Tony Randall maintains that those stretch pants so many young ladies are sporting these days come in three sizes: small, medium, and don't bend over. 1963, by Bennett Cert Siatributed by Kim Futures Syndicate Grange News Gold Hill Grange Gold Hill Grange met in regular session July 5 with Master Wilbur Martin pre siding.

Lunch Program In Schools Receives 4,000 Tons of Food Salem The state depart ment of education, through its school lunch program, distri buted 274 train-car loads of foods to local schools in Ore gon during the past school year. According to Dr. Leon P. Minear, state superintendent of prblic instruction, this rep resented more than 4,000 tons of food which had a whole sale value of nearly 2',j mil lion dollars. The tonnage, distributed to cafeterias in 950 elementary and secondary schools in Ore gon, involved 29 types of food, which included frozen meals, cereal products, can ned fruits and vegetables, raisins, and fresh cranberries. School lunch and school milk programs are operated without profit and are kept within the financial reach of the majority of children be cause of federal reimburse ment administered by the de partment of education, ex plained Dr. Minear. Elemen tary children pay only 25 cents a meal and high school students pay a few cents more. Each school receives from three to four cents in cash, plus donated foods which have a value of seven to eight cents per meal. ilify Tax Ratios Okayed in Counties Salem While meeting as a board of equalization and review, the state tax commis sion has approved locally posted ratios for Oregon's 36 counties for the 1962-63 tax year. The 1962-63 posted ratios and assigned utility ratios for both Jackson and Josephine counties remain at 25 per cent, the 1961 ratio. Completion of reappraisal in Lincoln and Union coun ties resulted in the 25 per cent ratio being posted in both these counties. Three counties, Multnomah, Baker and Umatilla, may legally post ratios other than 25 per cent. The latter two counties are undergoing re ppraisal and will be required to use the 25 per cent ratio when re appraisal is completed for the 1963 assessment year. The Multnomah county ratio was lowered from 40 per cent posted in 1961 to 36 per cent for 1962. The Multnomah county assessor may continue to post ratios higher than 25 per cent, but cannot increase the posted ratio over the one used the previous year. The commission noted that five counties were nearing the maximium allowable dev iation of plus or minus 10 per cent from the 25 per cent ra tio level. Letters have been sent to the assessors, boards of equalization, and county courts of these counties advis ing them of the necessity of correcting this situation dur ing the coming year. The same ratios used for lo cally assessed property were again assigned for use in de termining the assessment of centrally-assessed utility property.
