PACE TEN " HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON DELINQUEN T. TUX BOLLS TO' BE MADE UP In preparation for making up delinquent tax iuu at wc uu of the fourth quarter, August 15, hn lux office here is now busy balancing the rolls. Last year's taxes on real property ununic delinquent if not paid by August 15, Claude Chastain, deputy col lector, announced this week. Taxes on personal property be come delinquent upon uuiure iu pay any quarterly installment. on or before the due date. Chastain said that several changes in the tax laws affecting old taxes were made at the last session of legislature and August 15, 1944, is now the last day for atlowtng waiver oi imeic-sn. u any delinquent taxes on real property for 1930 or prior years. Allowing waiver of interest on delinquent , taxes on personal property of 1935 or any prior years was discontinued as of August 15, 1943. . The unpaid and delinquent taxes on personal property shown by the current tax roll is not an unduly large amount, ac cording to Chastain, being ap proximately nine per cent of the unpaid current roll, but the total of Dersonal property taxes for all years to date amounts to more than $100,000. If payments made i by August 15, 1944, do not mate rially reduce this amount, the tax office will be obliged to take some definite action to collect this tax.

Bv MARY JANE JENKINS SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND, July 18 I am quartered in a de- lignum tngusn nome, out oi quite safe, hale and hearty and pleased with life in general. There are four other ARC girls here, and we are quartered two to a nousc. This is a lovely place. It is hieh on a hilltop commanding the countryside, and has four acres of rose garden, an orcnara, greenhouses for tomatoes, a turf tennis court, a stable (but no horses now . ana a Mrtuiwiu, with hot water! My room mate and I have a sweet little room, with twin beds and a fabulous view. None oi tne rigors oi war so far. , We were alerted in Washing ton. and in the fullness of time we went to tne port oi emDarKa tion and from there overseas. At the FOE we knocked our selves flat-headed getting final shots and I am now so full of diseases I feel like a walking case history. We got our identifica tion papers and were fitted for such ultra-feminine articles as steel helmets, canteens, etc.: Learns rast Glue! The army slaps a tin helmet on you, grunts: "That'll do," and kicks you on. We also got our gas masks, learned to use them, and then, to bur in tense disgust, had to prove it. They put us ' through the gas chamber, which knocked us for the old looperoo. You learn fast that way, though. - . ... I'll never do for this life. As we were roaring out of the place, the girl behind me yelled: "Out of my way!" and like a perfect lady, I stepped aside! In there, it was every man for himself. Getting on the boat was some thing. Remember, it was sum mer, but we were in winter uni form. Then we wore our rain coats, web belts with full canteen and first aid kit, musette bag (a pack sack in which we man aged to jam the equivalent of what goes in a foot locker), gas mask, steel helmet and black gloves. In our hands we clutched our identification papers like uttie men. Tin Helmet Something Walking in a steel helmet is something like operating a tank, I imagine. Mine bounces eentlv on a bone somewhere over my left ear, and has quite an inter esting echo. I only once tried to turn my head in it. Once was enough. I didn't get on an even keel for an hour afterward. The trick with all that stuff on vou is to find a balance point, hold your breath and walk as if on eggs. We were on a troop transport aim nau ijuiiv juue accommoaa tions. There were nine in my stateroom. I had a top deck bed fortunately, ftw it. was hot with ttFl ) ! fi flaw Mary Jane Jenkins had lovely weather quite calm and easy, and none of the girls was sick. We had a bathroom in the cabin, which was a popular place between 7 and o a. m. and a and 6 p. m., when the COLD fresh water went on. The rest of the time there was only cold salt water except one luscious 24 hours before we landed when they gave us hot fresh water and we all nearly drowned. We had two meals a aay, very good. Trip Leisurely It was a leisurely trip. I got up every morning at 9:29 a. m., roared into my slacks and tore down for breakfast. Then we sat around and waited for boat drill and when that was over we lay on deck until 5, when we all hit for the water, changed for dinner and then went back up on deck. I did one radio script as my sole contribution to the ARC, and every other day we held a dance for the Gls. THAT was something. They had assembled a really good band, but dancing in heavy shoes, in a high wind, on a bounding deck is a unique experience. I still have blisters on the bottom of my toes from hanging onto the floor. 1 must point out that at NO TIME while we were on board were we allowed to be without our life jackets and belts with lull canteen ana first aid kit and helmet liners. I still sit down with a strange rolling movement and get up with a long heave. The whole thing was most excit ing, and i wouldn t have missed it for anything. Rumors Fly Fast The rumors were much fun My room mate and I amused our selves by starting some on the way every morning at breakfast, and iavariably heard them, blown up and elaborated on. waiting for us by the time we rusned up on deck. didn't get below with the soldiers at all. We had to be in our state rooms at 10 p. m. That was odd, for of course as wo went cast the sun stayed up longer and at the end it was still broad day light at 11 p. m. There were lots of nice officers on board and love bloomed freely on the dome deck, but my real passion was a truck driver from L.' A who took me under his wing at the GI dances. Boy, wo had a bond! We had both been to L. A.! Army Efficient Debarking was quite an event. There was an English band at the dock and lots of U, S. sail el's, and we almost broke our necks hanging out of the port holes and talking to them. The army docs things so quietly you find yourself all organized and doing things before you know it. The only thing that ever worried me was breaking a regulation and keeping my mouth shut. They're not kid ding when they tell you to turn your lights out and not to men tion something. London, of course, was very thrilling it looks shabby and cave me something of the impres sion I had of Vienna when I last saw it back in 1938. But people are most businesslike and very nice and helpful. English cur rency is something , like begin ning to SDeak Russian. Isn't it silly for a great commercial na tion to nave a mess ukc maw . Tea in Bed , ' Here in this lovely corner in England, we have a marvelous landlady who wakes us up each morning with a cup of hot tea. Breakfast is toast and fruit and tea and either a soft-boiled egg or bacon. Afternoon tea is luscious with the cake and bread and butter that go with. it. Din ner is vegetables and potatoes and meat and dessert. , There is apparently quite as much butter here as at home, and we had steak twice in London The liquor situation Is bad. The scotch runs out after two drinks apiece, unless you know someone who belongs to a club, where there is plenty. The beer is plentiful, and just as bad as it was before the war. The women look about the same to me as they did before. Irm delighted with the English newspapers. They get as rpuch news in four pages as we do in 20 and usually are more colorful. They have knocked out all super fluous wording, and it reads eas ily and quickly. 'S The smooth, danceable rhythms of Henry King's orchestra Is duo in a large part to the piano team, of which King is a Dart, and around which the orchestra is built. King, who is bringing liis or chestra to tho armory Wednes day, August 2, is a renowned musician and is capable of play ing three keyboards at tho same time, piano, celeste, and solovox. Those who are skeptics of- this ability should ask King for a demonstration. Tho other half of tho piano team, around which King's orchestra is formed, Is l.co Arands. Arands has been a musician with King for over 15 years and is a mainstay of .the oana. While Henry Kind's orchestra is widely known by virtue of be ing one of the outstanding ex ponents ot rhumba rhythms, his more recent successes have been particularly due to the unique and down-to-earth manner in which his orchestra styles the modern rhythms of tho day. In fact, there are as many praises for his "boogie-woogie" as there are for his smartly-styled, sophis ticated tempos. During his engagement at the armory, August 2, King will fea ture, besides himself, - lovelv Faye Wilson and Tommy Smith as featured vocalists. . . . Educators to Sell College Idea to Returning Veterans ... SPOKANE, July 26 (tT) Un less the United States is to "lose, a generation of college trained ' people," the nation's educators "have a task ahead to sell young men on "the idea that it isn't too late to come back to college after tho war," Erwin H.
