i BIRTHDAY CIRCUS AT
LARSEN HOME
Little Christina, daughter of
Postmaster and Mrs. Clarence
| Larsen, celebrated her fourth
' birthday March 3, at the home
' of her parents on Third Avenue.
A unique theme was carried
i out, beginning at the door with
a placard invitation to “Come to
s the Circus.” A grab bag inside
the door was the depository for i
| gifts. j
A huge crepe-paper tent was j
' the entrance to the party room. |
1 On either side of the door were,
i a ticket booth and a barker with 1
free balloons. Circus games,
such as throwing a ball through
the ring, pinning the nose on a
i clown, and so on, kept the 12
little girls busy, besides the cir
cus stunts each performed — \
walking a rope, summersaulting, j
. dancing, and everything they (
could do.
Even the refreshments were
circus style. The birthday cake
supported a striped tent. In the
center a clown directed the tiny
plastic circus animals which ca
vorted over the cake top, as in
a ring. Four little animals were
tiny candle holders for the four
birthday candles. Alongside the
cake, a friendly elephant car
ried a pack full of candy suck
ers for the guests.
I Ice cream cones -were clown
faces, with a cookie ruff about
the neck. Oumdrops formed the
tassel on the cap, the eyes and
nose of the clown’s face.
Twelve little girls from the
age of three to six years enjoyed
the unexpected circus, several
of them seeing for the first time
anything even remotely resem
bling a circus.

ed, Richard Roe acquires the
better title. I might eventually
get title to the property, but not
without a lot of tiresome, indefi-1
nitcly extended and very ex-,
pensive legal proceedings. It is
foolish to take such chances
when it costs so little to have
your deed put on record.
It is the duty of the owner of
property to pay the taxes
assessed against it annually by !
the City. Taxes are a charge !
against ihe properly, not againsx j
the properiy owner. It is conven- I
xent for the City to know who I
owns ihe property, so the tax
statement can be sent to the
right owner, and so the rightful
owner can pay ihe taxes before
ihe7 c,et delinquent, and accrue
penalties and other costs.
If the taxes on your property
were not paid for a previous
year, through oversight, neglect,
or for other reasons—or if a
previous owner did not pay the
taxes and then sold the property
to you and moved away, the City
will nevertheless look to the
property for payment of the
taxes. If the owner of the prop
erty does not pay them, then the
City will get an order from the
District Court to have the prop
erty advertised for sale and sold
for the delinquent taxes. This is
all very regular, proper, and ac
cording to law. The City cannot
torgi\ e taxes. The wise property
owner will pay all taxes due on
las property, and it some or all
of such taxes should have been
paid by a previous owner, an ef
fort should bo made to collect
the same from the person who
should have paid them in the
first place. The City has no in
terest in any controversy regard
ing who, or who should not. pay
the taxes. It is interested only
in collecting the taxes. Real
Property taxes are assessed
against, and are a charge against
the real property. Personal prop
erty taxes are a different mat
ter. and are a charge against the
individual.
Payment of taxes on property
to which you have no title, gives
you no claim against the prop
erty whatsoever. You cannot ac
euire title to property simply
because you pay the taxes as
sessed against it. The only way
to acquire title is by deed, either
from the previous owner, or by
tax-deed from the City after
foreclosure proceedings.
T!i principal objection to
old age is_that it has no future.
Some birds cannot walk, i
while others walk with diffPI
culty. Swifts, for example, never
walk and never set foot on the
ground, the Fish and Wildlife
Service says. Swallows, night
hawks, whippoorwills and other
goatsuckers walk clumsily, hav
ing weak legs.
Skunks are often justly ac
cused of raiding duck nests and
of killing ducklings, but skunks
also eat quantities of snapping
turtle eggs—and snapping tur
tles kill large numbers of duck
lings, the Fish and Wildlife
Service points out.

I’d Like
to Know...
You may have heard that
a suit has been filed by 5
the Antitrust Division in
Washington to break up
Standard of California as
well as six other West
Coast oil companies.
Many people have writ
ten us protesting this
action, have asked per
tinent questions. We be
lieve these questions
should be answered for
everyone. We take this
vay of doing so. If you
lave a question, write:
“I’d Like to Know”
225 Bush Street,
San Francisco 20
“Who wants to upset the West’s oil industry now?”
nsazEKBams ?
A certain minority in the U. S. seems
to believe big companies should be
broken up .. . even though big com
panies have led the way in helping
provide an unmatched standard of liv
ing and helped keep the nation strong.
The U. S. was very thankful for its big
companies during the last two world
mj
wars... and is again in today's critical
times. This is a big country with big
problems, and it needs both big and
small companies to meet them. You
can be certain we will do everything
we can to continue doing a good, effi
cient, productive job for you and the
nation ... a good big job.
John E. Clark, insurance man from San Francisco, California, writes;
“From all I can gather, the West’s oil companies have contributed a lot to our area.
Now there’s talk about breaking them up. What I'd like to
know is who wants to upset the West’s oil industry now?
li L 1 l! I L III
Do customers? Not likely.
Oil companies have turned
out constantly better prod
ucts and services at reason
able prices. Except for taxes, a
gallon of gasoline today costs
about what it did in 1919.
Do employees? The average
income of 28,000 Standard
people was $4,447 hist year.
And Standard Oilers are cov
ered by sickness, free insur
ance, retirement and other
employee benefits.
Do small business men?
Standard of California is a big
customer for small businesses
in the West. Last year, for ex
ample, we spent more than
$90,000,000 with some 10,000
business tirius.
Do stockholders? Surely
not. There his never been a
year when Standard has failed
to pay a dividend. 98,600 in
dividuals snare the earnings
of Standard, depend on the
stability of Standard to as
sure safety for their savings.
wiv.o« N. mmm
Do lax collectors? Standard
turns in the taxes you pay
when you buy gasoline and
oil, and we are also taxed, of
course, as a company. Be
cause we are big, our taxes are
sizeable—last year, for exam
ple, over $95,000,000.
’ V*
Do military men? Planes,
ships, tanks are powered with
oil. Military men naturally
look to the big companies to
supply their big needs. As in
World War II, Standard’s fa
cilities are producing petro
leum products at full speed.
