The Oregon Department of
Revenue has organized a state
wide taxpayer assistance pro
gram to help homeowners and
renters complete their claim
forms for the New Oregon Tax

Department Director Charles
H Mack says. “This effort of the
department replaces the assist­
ance given by county tax collec­
tors under the former home-
owners program We wiil have
auditors providing help to tax
payers m each county seat
sometime during the filing sea­
son."
The department has Audit Div-
sion district offices in fifteen
cities throughout Oregon and all
but one is a county seat. Tax­
payers living in or near these
offices can come in for assist­
ance all through the filing period
until April 15. 1974
Homeowners must bring with
them a refund claim (form 7O-R >
which is part of the individual
income tax packet mailed to all
Oregon residences around the
first of the year
They should also bring with
them a copy of their property tax
statement and information about
their income for 1973. including a
completed federal income tax
return (Form 1040 or 1040A) if
one is required
Renters should bring the
refund claim forms and rent
certificates (Form 99-ROJ ob­
tained from landlords which
certify the amount of rent paid
during 1973
Renters, too. will need to
supply income information and
must bring in a completed
federal income tax return if
required

sessions Phone numbers of the

Energy Crisis a Fraud?
A grass roots meeting was
held on 1-5-74 in Klamath Falls,
Oregon and the results were the
following of the Energy Action
Committee The Committee be­
lief is that a number of immedi
ate steps are essential:
1. A complete investigation of
all existing and anticipated
crude reserves.
2. A halt to exportations of
crude oil and products
3 Exact figures on allocations
to be received
4 Technological research into
alternative energy sources, to
include a patent search and
release of all devices designed to
save fuel.
We believe the existing short
age is contrived and that the
solutions are available, hut only
if a demand for action is sounded
by citizens
Our own State Senator, Mr.
Heard, was a member of a State
Committee to investigate the oil
companies and the oil interests
in essence said, "Go peddle your
papers."

COWBELLE BEEF TIPS . . .
by Liz Hyde
This month and next should
find especially good buys in
nutritious, delicious beef in your
markets The reason for the
present conditions favorable to
the buyer is a temporary over
supply of beel This is the time of
year when l>eef normally is in
ample supply and. added to that
this year, is the beef that didn’t
come to market during the
freeze
But it is a temporary con­
dition Beef is a perishable
product and must be moved into
selling channels when it is ready
and at whatever price will keep
it moving If there is an over
supply, in order to move all of it
prices must be especially at­
tractive. When that excess sup
ply has been moved, prices will
rise again
If you have some room in your
home freezer or locker, now
would be the time to take advan
tages of an> good specials Some
of the special prices may mask
overfat cuts, so try to make your
selections carefully
Brisk fall days bring heartier
appetites Pot roasts are the
basis for one type of less
expensive and filling meal
The riAnp roast is one of the
best pot roasts Price per pound
is higher than roasts from the
chuck, hut there is less waste
and more uniform muscling
Rump roasts are sold with
bone-in, semi-boneless and
boneless with increasing price
per pound For my money the
boneless will usually be the best
buy The bone the rump muscles
are attached to is the aitchbone,
a large curved, flattish bone
which is part of the pelvic area
It is difficult to carve.
Boneless rump roast can sell
for approximately l/ i more than
bone-in rump and be as good a
buy If bone-in rump is selling
for $1 48 a pound, a boneless
rump will be a better buy at
anything less than $1.96 a pound,
and be much more convenient to
cook and serve.
Rump roasts are best when
braised which is cooking covered
with moist heat The iron kettle
simmering on top of the stove
was the traditional way of
cooking a "pot roast.” It was
browned well in fat. water
added, seasoned, then heat
turned down low and cooked
until tender, with vegetables
added the last hour and tasty
brown gravy. They can also be
cooked, covered, in the oven,
preferably at a low temperature
They do not require browning or
added water this way, though
you may There is enough na
tural moisture in the meat to
tenderize A small roast could tie
tender in three hours, but I
prefer four or five hours for a
larger roast. With higher tem ­
peratures you have to watch for
drying and toughening, but low
temperature cooking keeps most
of the moisture in. Searing
(browning > does help hold juices
in if you are rooking above 300
degrees
Here is a recipe for a party pot
roast:
Beef Pot Roast
Burgundy
4 to 5 lb boneless rump
2 T butter
At c burgundy
2 T tomato paste
salt
6 whole peppercorns
4 finely chopped cloves garlic
2 inch strip orange peel
1 inch stick cinnamon
4 whole cloves
8 artichokes
water
2 lemons
1 pound boiling onions
8 small carrots
Brown pot roast in butter Add
1 / 3 cup wine combined with
tomato paste, 2 t salt, pep
percorns, garlic, orange peel,
cinnamon and cloves Cover and
roast in slow oven (275 degrees )
2 hours Peel off tough outer
leaves and cut off tips of
artichokes Cut is half length
wise, scoop out choke Parboil in
salted water to which juice of
lemons has been added Add
artichokes, peeled onions,
scrapped carrots and remaining
wine to meat. Cover and cook 1
hour longer until tender Thicken
pan juices for gravy Makes 8 to
1« servings
The rump roast, because of its
compact and uniform muscling
makes particularly good sand
wich meat for second meals
