An empty can weighs Thursday, January 13, 1972 Oraphoanalysis Notes by Ellen Jones One of your most Important possessions is your signsture. It acts as your agent at the bank, on legal documents when properly witnessed, and on friendly notes and letters. A quotation from LAW OF DISPUTED AND FORGED DO CUMENTS by J. Newton Baker states: ’’The chances of a per son writing his signature ex actly alike twice are practically nonexistent. This principle was mathematically demonstrated in the famous HOWLAND WILL CASE, #4 American Law Re view page 641, by the noted pro fessor and astronomer, Ben jamin Pierce of Harvard Uni versity. He testified concern ing the disputed signatures of Sylvia Ann Howland attached to the codicil of her will. He stated that such identical co incidence could only happen once in nine hundred thirty- one quintillion times, which is to say that exact duplication is beyond human experience and is consequently an admitted im possibility.” If you would like to test this information, try writing your name several times on transparent paper, cut the names apart and then fit one over the other and you will be able to see the differences.

McCall Leads 30-Member Oregon Trade Commission Local Area H & R Block Franchise Sold Savings Bond Leader Retires Professional Di rectory M t THERE’S A LOT OF AMERICA Neighbors Applications Accepted Property Tax Relief Governor Tom McCall re minded Oregon homeowners to day that applications are being accepted and assistance is be ing given applicants for pro perty tax relief under the 1971 law providing relief for low in come homeowners. McCall said a spot check by the Department of Revenue showed considerable activity in representative counties on Monday, the first day appli cations could be accepted. The new law sets the filing period from January 1 to April 15. Most of the activity in the counties contacted was for in formation. In Lane County, telephone lines were busy throughout the day and many persons appeared for inter views. Fifty applications were actually filed-- the largest number of any county checked. Marion County reported three telephone lines were kept busy all day. Multnomah County had 224 telephone calls and 120 inter views. Thirty-seven applica tions were filed. Clackamas County reported its tax department was busy all day with numerous telephone calls and approximately 100 interviews. Between 10 and 15 applications were filed. Josephine County reported a total of 100 interviews. Washington County reported that more than 50 persons sought assistance in the tax department. In Tillamook County, 15 per sons appeared for information, and in Umatilla County, six ap plications were filed in person, eight were received in the mail, and several applicants needed additional information to com plete their applications. The governor said many of the persons seeking assistance were concerned that they had not received copies of their tax statements from mortgage companies which had paid the taxes. Such documents must accompany applications for tax relief. The governor points out that under a 1971 law a mortgage holder is now required to fur nish a copy of the tax state ment to its client not later than January 15. The governor also reports that an opinion from the Tax Division of the Department of Justice states that in cases where a county does not issue a duplicate receipt and the mortgage holder retains the original receipt, a copy of the tax statement stamped with the, notation signed by an officer of the mortgage company or bank that the taxes indicated on the tax statement have been paid would qualify as a receipt under the law. McCall urged all persons with questions about the new law to contact the tax collector in the courthouse. Special cr°ws have been assigned to give such as sistance. Community Concert To Present Ballet Program One of the most entertaining, intriguing and informative dance presentations ever to be offered here will be Ruth Page’s ‘‘invitation to the Dance” with America’s great lady of the ballet appearing in person as hostess-narrator. It is a de lightfully clever program con cerning the world of ballet and the dance scene in general. Many of her professional friends are also her personal friends in many parts of the world. Her anecdotes and inside sto ries of the never-never land of ballet promise to be as amu sing as they are informative. The artist is quick to add, however, that the program is no lecture. Her comments will simply give new meaning and lustre to the dancing as perfor med by four top soloists of the Chicago Lyric Opera Ballet. The artists to dance here are Patricia Klekovic, Kenneth Jo hnson, Dolores Lipinski and Orrin Kayan -- all of them na tionally well-known by virtue of their starring performances with Miss Page’s International Ballet during the sixties. "Invitaion to the Dance” will be presented in the Ontario High School Auditorium Mon day, January 17 at 8:15 p.m. in a community concert presen- tation. Miss Page is appearing her? following recent and notable achievements. In September (1971) she spent considerable time in New York City in order to re-stage for the Dance Theater of Harlem one of the most stunning ballets of her distinguished career as a choreographer--“Carmen”-- the opera story set to Bizet’s beguiling music.
