It is Important to Practice Water Safety The United States 3ureau of Reclamation in cooperation .with the American National Red Cross has begun a community campaign on Water Safety according to J. Angus Christensen of the Water Safety Committee. Christensen introduced the 1968 slogan, Stay Out and , - Mr. kStay Alive." . , He said, Learn to swim, but stay out of canals and unauthorized dangerous waters." Mr. Christensen, in continuing the interview, said that the J967 drowning season through Labbr Day was the worst in yecent Utah history. Lakes, rivers, ponds, irrigation ditches, swimming pools vind bathtubs claimed 35 lives through Labor Day, greater than iny similar period since 1955 and more than the total for any full span. year except two during that Mr. Christensen said 6,600 Americans face death by drowning this year; mostly youngsters. One simple answer is to train A youngster in the practice of water safety. Death from drowning ranks third in the list of accidental fat- -' laities in the intermountain area.

Mr. Wilson lay on his back the ten weeks, following a hip and thigh operation Better Things for Better Living If the idea of human progress can be accepted, it must be traced to communication among peoples, and to a great extent advertising. The building of better things for better living is one of the great rewards of advancing civilization. But the most active force causing man to produce better things is the creation of the desire for better things. . . This is how one business executive explains the trend to a progressively higher standard of living. Without desire, regardless of the human potential and physical resources, no nation attains a more enriched life. It is a mistake to judge advertising only in terms of its contribution to trade and the material welfare of a nation or a community. Advertising is a motivating force behind many advances in civilizat'on. We can not think of a cultural, charitable, or educational institution which does not make use of advertising to move people to take part in spiritual and intellectual betterment. There is scarcely a church which does not advertise through circulars, postings, newspaper notices, or even the ringing of church bells. American universities, through catalogs, bulletings, notices, and mass media, spend more than ten million dollars annually on advertising. Advertising includes drives to create the desire for better government, better health, recreation, travel, art appreciation, and reading. And it spearheads every charity drive, motivating the most selfless instincts.

This fact was reported in a special study prepared by Foundation, the private tax research organization. The foundation report points out that the local sales tax ha; I become a major source of revenue for many Utah counties anc 'Municipalities. In Payson, sales tax receipts were equal to 34.2? the property tax collections for city purposes last year. If th( revenue derived fiom the local sales tax were to be replaced a local property tax, it would require an increased levy of J3.25 mills ($9.25 per $1,000 assessed valuation). Although the local sales tax is imposed by the local units, it 'is by contract actually collected along with the state sales tax by State Tax Commission. The local tax then is returned (after 7'deductions of a 2 12 service fee) to the taxing jurisdiction -- from which it was collected. Foundation analysts observe that proposals have been made in ' each of the past five legislative sessions to change the local sales 1 tax law so that revenue would be distributed to all counties and cities according to population, rather than, as now, on the basis of ; where the tax is levied and collected.
