very   uteresung noODy. Two
years ago Dennis wrote to the
President John F. Kennedy re-
questing a picture. Dennis soon
received a letter of reply from
Mr. Kennedy and several pic-
tures. This was the beginning
of a widely varied correspond-
ence for Dennis. He has kept
all letters and pictures in a
scrapbook. Dennis says he enjoys
reading these letters and they
have helped him in his schoolwork
due to the fact that they are from
so many different countries. The
letters and pictures n Dennis's
scrapbook bear the signature of
the following:

Each one of these busy people
have replied personally to Dennis

extending their best wishes to him

continuation of his hobby. Dennis
has written to a very few famous
persons who have not replied
but he still hopes to hear from
them and plans to write more
letters to other noted personali-
ties.
Dennis is the thirteen year old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Lee
of Sunset Gardens, Wintersville.
The Lees have three other child-
ren, Albert Jr., Wendy and Kim,
all of whom are students in
Wintersville Schools.
Dennis is also an ardent stamp
collector. He attends the Win-
tersville Baptist Temple. After
his graduation from High School,
Dennis plans to continue his
studies and eventually become
affiliated with the F.B.I.
It was very pleasant to inter-
view Dennis Lee and interesting
to learn of his uncommon hobby.


The course is being offered
through the Ohio Trade and In-
dustrial Education Service, Di-
vision of Vocational Education.

ted suicide on January 4, 1958
at Wintersville.
I would sincerely appreciate
  ,n news copy that you may

   Tax Rate Increases
 Michael E. Entinger, County
 Treasurer, explained today that
 taxes are higher in many cases
 due to either an increase in tax
 rate, or an increase in valuation
 of property or both.
 Many taxing districts tax rates
 have increased due to levies
 which were passed by the voters
 of that particular district. There
 can be no decrease in this rate
 as established. TAXES CANNOT
 BE   INCREASED     BY    ANY
 COUNTY OFFICIAL--ONLY BY
 VOTE OF THE PEOPLE.
 In the case of increase in valua-
 tion - All properties in the County
 were appraised for taxation pur-
 poses by the firm of Cole-Layer-
 Trumbull, according to law.
 These new figures were used
 for the first time this December
 for the collection of taxes. Any
 taxpayer who feels that the new
 valuation is in error may come
 to the Transfer Office in the
 basement of the Court House
 to check their appraisal record.
 If after carefully checking, he
 still feels the valuation of his
 property is too high, he may
 file a Complaint with the Board
 of Revisions for a hearing. The
 County  Auditor,  Stephen  J.
 Hamrock, the County Treasurer,
 Michael Entinger, and the Chair-
 man of the Board of County
 Commissioners, Russell Hesske
 are the three members of the
 Board of Revisions.
