Girl Visits Bachelor
Dressed For Occasion
By ANN LANDERS
Dear Ann Landers: I'm not a
prude, nor am I the type to
poke my nose into other peo-

ue your opinion
and would like
your views. '
A friend of
mine who is sin
gle and in her
middle 30s has
her own apart
ment. This friend is acquainted
with a rather attractive gentle
man about 40. He is a bachelor
and has an apartment in the
same building. I live in the
building, too down the hall from
the gentleman.
The other evening 1 came home
later than usual about 11 p.m.
I was shocked to see this wom
an, dressed for bed, nightgown,
bathrobe, and slippers, just about
to enter the man's apartment.
Without the slightest hint of
embarrassment she greeted me
warmly and announced. "My TV
broke down and Reginald invited
me down to see the late movie."
This struck me as indecent. Or
am I living in THE DARK
AGES?
Dear Ages: In our society,
most people dress for the occa
sion. When one wears a ski suit
folks just naturally assume he is
going skiing, A person in shoul
der pads and shin guards looks
ready for ice hockey.
Your friend used poor judg
ment. Dear Ann Landers: 1 married
a widow three years ago. My
wife passed away in 1956, the
same year her husband died.
My own two sons have gradu
ated from college and are on
their own. My wife's two sons
are 11 and 14 years of age. I love
her boys as much as I love my
own. They are devoted to me and
we have a wonderful relation
ship. 1 want to adopt my wile's sons
legally and change their name
to mine. My wife is against it
because she's afraid her former
father-in-law will cut the boys
out of his will if they do not
carry on his family name. (They
are the last of his heirs. I
While there is considerable
wealth there I don't feel this is
important. I am well able to sup
port these boys, educate them and
do all the necessary things. My
pride is involved. What do you
say? DAD
Dear Dad: Your sons will car
rv on vour family name. II is
not unreasonable or this grand
father to want his son's boys to
carry on his family name.
L'nlecv the bovs express a strong
desire to have their names
changed, I recommend that you
disregard the financial advan
tages and respect the old gentle
man's wishes.
Dear Ann Landers: My hus
band and I are fond of Mr. and
Mrs. X. They are a working cou
ple, as we are, and often the
four of us have dinner together.
Mrs. X has a habit which 1
find embarrassing. My husband
says it's ridiculous for me to
have any feelings one way or the
other.
Mrs. X has a small appetite.
She often asks the waiter or wait
ress to put her leftover meat in a
bag "for the dog." My husband
and I know they have no dog.
Is this a cheap trick or not?
NEW YORKER
Dear New Yorker: 1 am al
ternately saddened and sickened
at the thought of the tons of
edible food that wind up in Ameri
can garbage pails. Taking home
uneaten food from the restaurant
makes a great deal of sense.
The' only thing that does not
make sense is the invention of the
dog. Whv is Mrs. X defensive
The waiter or waitress couldn't
care less.

MOUNT SHASTA One hundred
and fifty concerned and irate tax
pavers met March 28 in Sisson
School gym with L. D. iBabc'
Tavlor, Siskiyou County assessur,
to try to resolve the tax re-evalu-ation
of land in the Mount Shasta
area. Accompanying Taylor
were appraisers Gerald DeRoso
and Fred Fleck of the Yrcka
office. All three men joined in
trying to explain the tax struc
ture and policies to the property
owners.
Dr. Donald Ratley declared ev
ery time he had his land ap
praised it went up, finally reach
ing a tax increase of 1.820 per
cent from 1961. He wanted to
know why uncleared, unimproved
land on Baker Road should be
appraised at $675 an acre, while
right next to it the land cleared,
fenced, and with a road was ap
praised at $534. He protested that
the assessment was not equitable.
Ratley said land 60 feet from
his was appraised at $237 an acre,
while identical land belonging to
him was appraised at $2,000. In
three appraisals of $49,000, $45,0110
and $39,445.71, by a real estate
firm, state inheritance appraiser,
and a bank, he finds the county
appraisal of $70,0110 on the same
land out of line by contrast.
Dr. Hugh Fate represented the
properly owners. He said t h e
evaluation of his land went up
300 per cent and the property
was taxed on improvements and
land as subdivision property,
which he says it is not. He also
stated he would like lo sec the
code that makes the law manda
tory that taxes not he refunded
and suggested an audit lo ascer
tain why this part of the county
spent three times as much in 1962
as in 1960.
Taylor declared the law and
appraisal practices stipulate the
highest and best use of land, and
said the grand jury's report in
licated an honest and sincere cf
tort is being mae by the asses
sor's office. He asked the group.
"Why didn't you help me fight
the legal battle on the appraisal
law six years ago?" He also
advised the group, upon question
ing from the lloor, that property i f
owners come to his oflice to ap lv?
It was pointed out that the ap
praisals were made on the market
value. There arc 20,000 parcels of
real properly in Siskiyou County
and seven appraisers. Also the
taxpayers were told they could
protest to the Board of Equal
ization. In prepared literature, Taylor
explained the laws governing the
administration of the property tax
are established on a statewide
basis by the California State Leg
islature, pursuant lo the provi
sion of the stale constitution. The
law provides that the assessor
deliver the assement roll to the
Board of Supcrviors on or be
fore the first Monday in July
and appeals should be made be
fore that date for consideration.
Another meeting is scheduled
for April 11 at 7 p.m. in the
Sisson Elementary gym, G 1 1
Graves, Charles Holcomb, and
John Facchin were appointed to
organize the meeting.
