She plays the piano and violin as well as the organ. Recently she recorded a 30- minute program of organ music for presentation on a radio station on which her son, Ron, is announcer. Also included among her hobbies is a love for cooking.

At Christmastime she derives much pleasuret from putting up boxes of homemade candies, cookies and fruit for giving to the older residents in the community. Finally in the hobby section she is engaged in making scrapbooks for her sons, and two namesakes, Marsonne Stroop of Oklahoma City, Okla. and Marsonne Peer of Newport. Varied Duties. In her work as auditor Mrs.

Bartlett serves as secretary to the Board of County Commissioners the County Council, Board of Education, Board of Finance, Board of Review, and the Tax Adjustment Board. She also works with the State Board of Accounts and State Board of Tax Commissioners, township trustees, attends school hearings and receives petitions for reassessments. Her office writes the assessor books in preparation to making out tax duplicates for the Vermillion county taxpayers. She prepares and publishes the lists of delinquent tax property and later sells it. Following the sales she bids in all unsold delinquent property, makes deeds for it, then publishes and sells it as county property.

The annual county budget and tax rates are advertised through the office of the auditor. In January of each year, her office makes an abstract sheet on all tax levies and rates.

After the annual assessing is competed over the county the auditor totals all assessors books and certifies the valuation to all units. Report Completed. A report just completed by Mrs. Bartlett shows to a certain extent the volume of work which was MRS. MARSONNE BARTLETT handled in the office of the auditor in 1955.

NEW WOOL MARKETING YEAR OPENS APRIL 1 Despite efforts to get details of the new wool program to wool growers, reports reaching the Vigo Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Office indicate that at least a few growers will be disappointed when their wool incentive payment is received.

The disappointment will result from failure of growers to realize the often emphasized point that the size of the incentive payment depends on the price received for the wool. With the second wool marketing year under the new program starting April 1, Ed Hoffman, chairman of the Vigo Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee, again points out that the more the grower gets when he sells his wool the greater will be his incentive lower the sale price, the smaller the payment. the way Chairman Hoffman explains it. The payment will not be determined until the 1955 clip sales records are in. The payment to the grower will be based upon the percentage needed to bring the national average return to wool growers to 62 cents a pound.

The words are, significant. So is If it figures out that a 15 per cent payment is needed to bring the national average return to 62 cents per pound, the grower will get a payment based on 15 per cent of what he received when he sold his wool. It is recognized that the 1955 crop, with few exceptions, has been sold. Nothing can be done about it. But another season is at hand and the new marketing year will begin April 1.

It is for that reason that the chairman emphasizes again more you get when you sell your wool, the greater will be your wool.
