Newspaper Page TextAGE 2 A Elizabeth II Vary About Chicago Trip PENETANGU1SHKNE, Ontario AP Queen Elizabeth II Saturday Wound up her tour of Western On tario and tailed for Chicago where noisy reception awaits her ir m windy City. The young British monarch wa: reported to be nervous about hei appearance Monday in the metro polis of the American Midwest. People close to Elizabeth sail 'she always gets butterflies" or the eve of the program in a big city, especially on foreign soil. Now she's going to a city once reputed to be the citadel of isola tlomsta sentiment in the United States. - Jt was not so long ago that Chi cagos then mayor, Big Bill Thompson, in political campaign speeches threatened to punch Eliz abeth' grandfather King George V "on the snoot. The Midwest has changed since those days in the 1920s but the Queen still feels uneasy about this big moment of her six-week tour Of Canada and the United States. Reports of feverish preparations In Chicago have reached the royal yacht Britannia which will take her across Lake Michigan. It is due to dock in Chicago at 10 a m Monday. Except for a few moments on the American side with President , Eisenhower a week ago in cere monies dedicating the St. Lawr ence Seaway this will be the Queen's only day on U.S. soil Meanwhile, the Queen and her husband, Prince Philip travel ling through cities, small towns and even hamlets are scoring i a big success in their Canadian tour. Where towns are too small to . warrant a complete hall the royal train slows to a crawl. A tech nician riding in the locomotive alerts the royal couple with a buz zer when a crowd is spotted ahead, The Queen and Philip come out to a rear platform to answer the cheers with waves and smiles. The royal party boarded the Britannia Saturday night for a cruise of Lakes Huron and Michi gan. CITY BRIEFS K.F.

"What about the DANGERS? "What about the crippling in' juries? "What about the DEATHS?" Did you ever see a runaway? Especially a runaway on the jam-packed public square of county seat town on a Fourth of July with the street full of men, women and CHIL DREN ... the fear-maddened horses tearing through the crowd people screaming as they struggled to get out of the way ...... maybe some young hero making a death-defying dive at the horses' bits in an effort to pull them down . . . sometimes going down himself under the iron- shod hoofs or the iron tires. If you've never seen that, you don't know what excitement is . and often serious, crippling Injury . . . . and, sometimes, DEATH. There was hazard on the high ways then. A thought In closing: Suppose our population had grown as it has grown. Suppose the automobile had nev er been invented. Suppose that on this Fourth of July weekcrid that will come to a close tonight there had been 43 MILLION horse-drawn vehicles -varying all the way Trom team drawn spring wagons to red wheeled, rubber - tired buggies drawn by fancy trotters on our highways. In that event, there would have been a lot of traffic fatalities maybe as many as 3S0. 49-Star Flag (Continued from Page 1) then was to go to Alaska, the state represented by the 49th star. This B-by-12 foot banner was hauled aloft exactly at 12:01 a.m. It was hoisted by two. policemen, one of whom just happened to be Stephen Deburr, from Anchorage Alaska. The other was James Doak, McAlester, Okla. As the flag went up on the big pole on the roof of the west Cap itol front, a cheer went up. A short time later another flag was hauled aloft on the perma nent pole on the cast front. The big activity was around the four temporary poles. Each flag fluttered just enough to bear out that it was flown over Capitol on July 4, 1959. Policemen worked until their arms grew tired and then were relieved by others. The architect provides Capitol- flown flags only on request of sen ators and representatives. They cost the members or the con stituents $3.50 or $6.50, depend ing on the size. Hundreds of individuals wrote in directly asking for flags. Most of them sent checks or money. These direct requests and money all are being returned. Many of the flags will go to Boy Scout troops, schools and various organizations. And, moaned one of the cops: "We'll have to do it all over again next year when the 50-star flag becomes official. There was no Sunday in China SO years ago. Now they observe ione day of the week as a day of I rest. HERALD NOTICE Cad .

But Most To Be Unchanged By TOM STIMMEL The "early Christmas cards' mailed by the assessor's office to 11,250 taxpayers last week were explained in some detail Friday by State Tax Commissioner Char ley Mack. ' Mack, a former Klamath County judge well acquainted with tax and assessment problems here, said no tices of higher assessments do not necessarily mean higher taxes. Values of many properties were raised 30 per cent above levels last year. No home in the county was left without a raise. "Some homes will have a 30 per Ike Lays Cornerstone (Continued from Page 1) "Its preservation is a many sided and never-ending task," he said. "Complacency today speeds the erosion of liberty tomorrow, Inertia will destroy it; dynamic dedication assures its lasting vi tality." From the stands where he spoke Eisenhower descended into a pit like arena where workmen had spread mortar on the concrete foundation in preparation for low- ering of the huge stone into its resting place. Eisenhower was given the small original trowel with which George Washington had laid the Capitol's first cornerstone on Sept. 18, 1793. Dipping into the mortar, the President spread some of it on the foundation. A crane lowered the stone in place. Then Reuben A. Bogley Jr., grand master of the District of Columbia Grand Lodge of Masons, handed Eisenhower a gavel which had been used by President Wash ington. Placing his hand on the corner stone, Eisenhower tapped it light ly with the gavel so as not to scratch or mar the historic instru ment. Immediately after he completed these rites, the President left.

The commissioner explained thai exactly how taxes will come out after so much change in assess ment valuations is hard to s a y now. But he emphasized that ev erybody's assessment went up. The county budget is lower, so general ly taxes will remain the same as last year, or lower. But the final answer comes in November when tax bills come out. The hows and whys of the as sessment increases were detailed by Mack and Dean Ellis, chair man of the state tax commission. Their remarks kept Rotarians in terested for more than an hour. Mack said the county board of equalization realized three years ago that sizable inequities existed among county property assess ments. New homes were being built, and appraised face value, but other homes had not been re- appraised for years. 'They were not on a comparable status with other property," he said, "so a ratio study was need ed." The board undertook the study, relying in part on reports of actual sales from realtors. With these data, the board recommended last December )S that the county prop erty tax ratio be raised to 20 per cent. This, Mack said, would have raised property values 30.7 per cent across the board. But the as sessor imposed a blanket 17 per cent increase on all property. Theq came Hot Springs property owners with complaints from many of 476 on-the-spot appraisals made last year. The property owners did not maintain that their apprais als were too high; they maintained that they were out of line with other appraised values. So the state tax commission and the board of equalization got into the matter further, and finally the state tax commission recommend ednot ordered, Mack said a general raise of 30 per cent, not 17 per cent. Just what they rec ommended before. So, with the exception of proper ty appraised this year and last, the 30 per cent increase goes into effect. Because it is virtually a blanket increase, the effect on tax bills may be minor. Some taxes may go up because they have been too low for as many as six or seven years, but generally tax bills should be about the same. Mack was introduced by County Commissioner Frank Ganong, a Rotarian who spoke first of the "early Christmas cards." Mack in troduced Ellis, also a realitively new member of the commission. it's BARDOT AT HER BIGGEST, CHARLES ....... vinAi B9itteBardot V La mm iennec FIATURI AT: E VTB A I "Tricky Chkki" Com.iy :10 4 10:30 EA I lM. ,tmni $hoit d crtMit ..
