Most of the activity in the
counties contacted was for in

In Lane County,
telephone
lines were busy
throughout the day and many
persons appeared for inter

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

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

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

One of the most entertaining,

offered here will be Ruth Page’s
‘‘invitation to the Dance” with
America’s great lady of the

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

Chicago Lyric Opera Ballet.
The artists to dance here are
Patricia Klekovic, Kenneth Jo

of their starring performances
