Pamphlet Explains Tax Need By JESSE BOGL E UPI Financial Editor NEW YORK (UPI) - With so much attention of the business community and the general pub lic centered on the prospects for a federal (ax cut, it is quite likely that the taxpayers may be over looking the need to look to some tax matters closer home. It is the time of year when a few stale bodies and a larger number of county or township groups are preparing their budg ets for the next year, with 'pos sible changes of tax rates in prospect. This is the time, students of public affairs point out, when the taxpayer should start paying at tentionnot after some new levies go into effect. At least one tax collector has taken the trouble to sit down and write a clearly worded pamphlet explaining to taxpayers in his area why this is necessary and why they should pay attention the year round to what their govern ment is going to cost them. The pamphlet was published earlier this year by Sherman R. Barnett, collector for New Trier rownsmp in a suburban arca north of the city of Chicago. He! said flatly that he doesn't like taxes, either; it is his job to col lect them; but that while his is a year-round job, the taxpayer has a year-round job also in mak ing sure that taxes don't get out of hand. "We've had a tremendous re sponse to the pamphlet," the tow n ship office said. "Requests from all over the country, from univers ities, from high schools, from the Tax Foundation and other groups. And a lot of interest and response right here in the township." Among the things that Barnett reported are this: "I wrote to each village, each school district, each park board, and to the rest of the twenty-two taxing bodies who are responsible for your township tax bill, I want ed to learn how much interest the taxpayers have shown in how much they spend. I inquired as to when their budgets were made; public and how many taxpayers come to the budget hearings to inquire, to object, or simply to urge that there be no tax in crease. "With virtually no exception, the taxing bodies reported back (U that public notice is given each year when the tentative budget is available for inspection; I2 that a public hearing on the budget is called each year; and (3) that normally no taxpayer ap pears or files any objection." Barnett recommended that tax payers: Be lax conscious all year round, not only at the. time tax bills come out. Learn just whom to contact when information on a tax matter is desired, or when something is learned having a bearing on a tax matter. "Learn to detect handwriting on the wall." "Cherish the blessings of home rule." Long-Bell Lists New Salesman Don R. Howlett has been ap pointed Kitchen Cabinet sales representative for the Midwest, accordini! to an announcement by Carl E.

The method is long since a victim of progress, but the idea holds, and if plans , come to fruition, a modern-day version of the old house-to-house merch andise display will hit the high seas late in November of next year. S. S. Tradefair It is an exhibition ship, a trade ship which will be christened the S. S. Tradefair, and it will be designed to carry examples of U. S. production to selected potential consumer areas. A spokesman for the first United States World Fair Ship, Inc., a private corporation which is sponsoring the idea, said that as of this date, more than a year in advance of the scheduled first sailing Nov. 21, 1964, commitments have been received from a wide range of industries. The corporation is headed by John i.'. Morrill, who retired from active duty with the Navy in 1955 with the rank of rear admiral. The S. S. Tradefair project is sponsored by 10 New York firms, and beside the pri vate industries which have ex pressed interest, the Depart ments of Agriculture and of Commerce are considering con tracting for space. Sponsors of the project noted that a Japanese floating trade fair ship, the Sakaura Maru, sold $15 million in goods in four months. But where the Japanese at some ports opened their ex hibition ship to the general public, the sponsors of the S. S. Tradefair plan to have attend ance by invitation only, and "we're making the point that it is trade people only," the spokesman said. The vessel which will be christened the Tradefair now is in use, but will be withdrawn from trade around the first of the year for conversion and re furbishing by the Bethlehem Steel Company. Wide Itinerary At present,' the schedule of her voyages would see her call ing at 40 ports, the North. Euro pean area, the Mediterranean, the Far East and the South Atlantic.

"It's the first time this has been tried here," said a spokesman for the sponsoring GN Speeds Rail Cargo SEATTLE (UPI) Great Northern Railway announced Wednesday it will cut a full 24 hours from previous time schedules for freight in carload expediter service from Chicago to Seattle-Portland. The new schedule goes into effect Oct. 27. The former delivery schedule In expediter carload service called for fourth-day arrival in Seattle-Portland from Chicago points. "The new move in freight op erations will see Chicago arriv als in the two coast cities a full day ahead of any previoui rail road freight operation," a GN j spokesman said. to make a hard sales pitch. "But it's a timely project. Right now, there is a lot of in terest at high governmental lev els on any measures which will serve to increase our export trade, and help out our balance of payments problem. So we feel we have a lot of Washing ton support behind this." company, "and we have L.,i.l.fi.A'"!'i FLOAT DESIGN Gov. Mark O.

Vn n I I plains A. B. Dickerman, Klam ath Falls manager, "because last year's storm gave us a chance to re-examine our dis aster plan in the light of actual conditions." As a result a number of changes were made in live com pany's standing emergency plan to speed up damage reports and improve the flow of men and materials to trouble spots in tho event of future disasters. The Columbus Day storm also brought about a speed up in several major long distance im provements that were already on the company's long range construction schedule. These included the construc tion of a new radio relay sys tem between Corvallis and New port replacing an open wire link that was vulnerable to storm damage. Overall cost of this project, completed in April,, 1963, was $240,000. In addition the phone compa ny has replaced a number of aerial cable lines with buried ca bles along routes where damage was heavy. The lines involved run between Canby and Molalla, Salom and Stayton, Mt. Angel and Silvcrton, and portions of the Cottage Grove-Drain link. A final tabulation of 1962 storm statistics from the phone company showed 116.000 phones around one-fifth of the com pany's total in Oregon were out of service at one time or anotlicr in the period following the storm. Dollar value of damage and restoration expenses for tele phone service was placed at about $2 million. ' It required more than 243.000 man hours to bring service back to normal. ERVEN A.

How far these have pro gressed since one of tlie first of the plastics to come upon the popular scene made its appear ance in the years following the war between the states the "celluloid collar" days may be seen by tlie ordinary household er examining surfaces and fix tures around his home; by the electrician applying an insulat ed wire; by the motorist exam ining the shiny new 1964 models in his dealer's showroom; or in Ihe columns of production poundage figures offered by the Society of the Plastics Industry. Plastics Exposition The extent to which this is a forward - looking industry is shown by the theme of the tenth National Plastics Exposi tion, scheduled for Chicago Nov. 18-22; New directions in plas tics. A meeting of tlie same sort was held in 1961 in New York City, on the schedule of E Mjfefl Cas All Other Aiiets u.s. PvW Govrnmnt yV 6 Securities V. " ' J .8 .

They are restricted by law to home mortgage and home improvement loans. The 6,277 associations in the 50 states account for 46 per cent of all home mortgage loans. This is three times the number made by commercial banks. Charts above, based on data from the Federal Home Loan Bank, shows the assets of savings and loan associations in 1952 and 1962. A bill now before Congress would allow them to enter new lending fields, such as buying state and municipal securities and financing appliance purchases and college educations.

In addition to modernizing the terminal which has been used by Bend-Portland for 25 years tlie job will provide some 1200 additional square feet of storage space for Bend-Portland termi nal equipment. A straightening out of pres ent terminal area will permit faster handling of freight on the dock and make the local facility comparable to any in the Bend Portland Truck Service system.

Business By Ployd Falls, Oregon Sunday. each 2 1-2 years; it drew a registered attendance of 27,128 persons, and the 1963 meeting is expected to surpass this figure. It is also the SPI which re ported that a recently complet ed study showed tlie construc tion industry in 1962 consumed 1.7 billion pounds of plastics, valued at $393 million, and up 11 per cent from the previous year. While these figures illustrate past growth, the industry as a whole keeps working constantly to insure future growth by Im proving (lie quality and the standards for plastics in build ing materials, electrical and el ectronic equipment, industry, and consumer products. Thomas Zawadzki, executive secretary of the Plastics In stitute of Technology, Hoboken, N. J., said that this was the main purpose behind a two-day conference to be held on the Stevens campuus in December. It will attempt to give engi neers and scientists a picture of what aging under various con ditions has upon polymeric mat erials, and what are the caus es which bring about these ef fects.

Wynne October 20. 1963 PAGE 1 At least one Industrialist finds it difficult to place a limit on tho progress that may be made in the field of plastics in the future. Limitless Future Salem Salem, named In April to the presidency of the fast growing Chemical - Plastic Division of the General Tire & Rubber Co., says that "when you are talking about 'plastics' you are talking about an end less, infinite number of prod ucts. As you change formulas, experiment with molecular con structions, you change the whole product, or its applications. "We don't know how far it will extend. Surely, five years from now there are going to be more plastics used in industry. Ten years from now there will be much more but," and he hesitated, then said, "the ex pansion will be not merely ar ithmetical, but expotentlal." - "What can be done," he con tinued, "is based on Imagina tion, rather than on the limit ations ot the raw materials alone...in dealing with materials on the one hand one Is limited by what nature can give you, and on the other only by knowl edge and by imagination."
