Legislative leaders regared the survey as vital in view of the current State Supreme Court lit- igation over the measure broaden- ing the tax base of local govern- ments. The act itself points out that the state's existing tax struc- ture was developed an a ‘pice- meal” basis, and larks a ‘‘scientif- ic and equitable” background. The law says that the present tax structure “unduly burdens in- dustrial enterprise,” deters new industries from locating in the state and places present manu- facturing plants in an “unfavor- able competitive position.” Increasing demands for gov- ernment service requiring addi- | tional revenue “must not be lev- |ied so as to destroy” the state's industrial position, the act adds. Another JSGC committee is now | studying reasons why Pennsylva- nia plants are not expanding as jrapidy as in states with compar- able industries. i Colver Home Is IT’S HERE! ® See the new HARDERFTreez Home locker on display in our showroom.

Virtual Doghouse (From Johnstown Democrat) When Mrs. James Burket of | Ninth Street, Colver, goes shop- | ping for an item for her collec- | tion, she hopes for three different | things=—but only one goes to her | exhibit. Vacation time shopping is fun fcr Mrs. Burket because she shar- es the thrill of the hunt with her | two daughters. Mrs. Burket col-| lects statues of dogs while her two daughters center their inter- ests on glass slippers and mina- | ture vases. | Kathryn, 16, has 30 glass slip- {pers in her collection, one of | which was a perfume bottle own- | ed by her great-grandmother. Do- | lores, 10, goes for vases and also | has one which formerly belonged | to her great-grandmother. In number, their collections are overshadowed by that of their | mother's—since 1940 she has col- | lected 480 dogs, with cnly three { duplications. Her first pair, presented by her kusband, are salt and pepper sha- | kers bearing the words ‘I'm Salt’ { ‘I'm Pepper.” Many others were | given by members of ber sewing | club. One of her oldest dogs ad- 'orned the pipestem brought from | { Whitburn, Scotland, by the father | {of T. L. Aiken, general superin- | tendent of the Ebensburg Coal | Co., Colver. Other items were presents from servicemen. One was purchased in Italy by Ralph Conrad of Cou- | pon. It went through a number of battles and escaped without a mark until it arrived in New York with the returned soldier. There, the ear was knocked off. The first overseas item came from England. Another was pur- chased in France for a sum eq- ual to $2.50 in U. S. currency. | Also from overseas came two from Australia — two Scotties wearing berets. Pehaps one of the rarest dogs is the French poodle. Mrs. Burket says she was very lucky to geu RADIO'S GREATEST VALUES now here from PHILCO Ea res!

When she gets those two her canine family will be com- plete. Mrs. Burket’s mother is one of her most generous contributors. Many of her dogs, the collector says, are from people she has ngver seen. They are donations £m relatives and friends of her personal acquaintance. Two she recéived from a man who owns a Colorado pottery. He was told of §he Colver hobbyist’s collection by a friend in Washington, D. C. All in all, she has dogs from 27 states, Australia, Italy, Eng- land, France, Mexico, and Cana- da. Some day she hopes to have one from évery state. Blair County Town Fights Rat War Residents of the Martinsburg, Blair Co. farming community are kaging bitter warfare on a horde of rats whose costly depredations have aroused widespread enthu- siasm against the rodents. The greatest rat invasion in years has resulted in the under- mining of several old buildings, farmers in the vicinity of town said losses in grain and feed were high. Each rat was unofficially estimated to be costing the com- munity about $25 a year. Residents who were alarmed at the growing scourge went to coun- cil with petitions requesting out- side help. The Martinsburg Boos- ter Assn. joined the anti-rat cru- sade and canvassed the entire ar- ea for several miles in each di- rection, seeking $2 from each home. Four professional exterminators were hired for a showdown. The workers expect to run the last rodent out of town within one week by using poison and gas in infested areas. In four surrounding townships, farmers and residents of small communities have formed their own vigilante committees and have petitioned for aid from the county and state agricultural of- ficials.

It’s 13 miles from the Oak Ridge townsite. It's one of those tremendous buildings you saw in an aerial photograph when the first atom bomb was dropped on Aug. 6th, 1945. . Inside 235 is separated from a chemical compound of uranium by gaseous diffusion through porous barriers. The barriers contain bil- lions of holes smaller than two- millionth of an inch. The principle of separating U-235 from natur- al uranium (U-238) is to convert the solid metal into a gas and make use of the difference in the velocity of the two isotypes in diffusing the barriers. U-235 being lighter, has a faster diffusion speed, so the gas even- tually diffused through the bar- rier is richer than U-235. After passing through several thousand barriers, an appreciable concentra- tion of U-235 is effected. All this, you're told. But no look is allowed at the secrets in- side. The atom keeps its secrets for the scientists who know how to harness it. And they harnessed it for the use by those scientists alone. North Co.
