It is surpassed by the United States but its 1967 trade surplus of about $4 billion was equal to the American balance of payments deficit. Tnere are other superlatives applica- ble to West Germany today. It is Western Europes biggest producer of coal and steel. Its annual industrial growth rate exceeds that of most of its neighbors, including France. It also exceeds Britain's. Its economy is so busy it regularly employs about one million foreign workers. Its standard of living is one of the highest in the world. The German Democratic Republic, or East Germany, isnt doing badly either. Because it is so much smaller, only 41.646 square miles with 17 million people, many in the West tend to underrate it. Its standard of living is considerably lower titan West Germanys but it is higher than that of any other East bloc nation, including the Loviet Union. The average East German worker earns 633 marks ($158) a month compared with his West German counterpart's 778 marks ($194). East Germany has 9.4 automobiles per 100 households compared with 50 in West Germany, 31.5 refrigerators compared with 74, and 32.9 electric washing machines compared with 51. This may seem a poor comparison with est Germany, but not only is East Germany's living standard the highest in tae Communist bloc, its gross industrial output is second only to that of the Soviet Union in eastern Europe, and among the top ten of the world. The East Germans have another boast. They are proud they have achieved as much as they have despite havjng been forced to pay four or five times as much reparations per capita as the West Germans, and without the enormous economic aid the Urn ted Stales pumped into West Germany.

Causing numerous deaths were such diseases as diphtheria, polio, fever, scarlet fever and whooping cough. typhoid Whooping cough? Yes, cough. whooping in Back 1926, 129 Utahns died of whooping con git. According to Utah Stale Division of health statistics that have been kept since 1924, 8,039 Utahns had whooping cough that year. Now its an almost unheard-o- f disease. Thats because children are immunized against it while theyre young. Only 22 cases of whooping couth and no deaths were reported in the state during 1966. Children are also immunzied against diphtheria, and there hasnt been a case of that disease in Utah since 1960. Diphtheria killed 66 Utahns in 1926. Another big killer not so many decades ago was polio. It killed 42 Utahns in the relatively recent year of 1951. Many of the 585 victims of the disease thai year still suffer its crippling effects. Mass vaccination clinics ended the polio problem, and not one case has been reported in Utah in more than two years. Last years "muzzle measles campaign resulted in many a week passing without a single case of that disease being reported. But it hasn't always been that way. Measles killed 112 Utahns in 1927. Typhoid fever was a menace as recently as 1947, when 82 Utahns had the playing the hero role. They can't kill the flu bug, understand.

Dinsdale of Ogden and from Gary Rager of Sandy. They would like to know w hy the earth has seasons. Norttilffl utuma Fig. rotation The axis of always points in same direction. Private generosity for the public good and betterment of man has long been held as one of the most durable factors of our national life. The axis of the earth is not perpendicular to the plane of its orbital motion around the sun; in fact, the axis is inclined some 23(2 degrees from the vertical. An equivalent way of expressing the same thing would be to say that the plane of the earths equator is inclined 23 j degrees to the plane of its orbital motion. This axis of rotation always points in the same direction with respect to the stars, regardless of where the earth is in its orbit (see Figure 1). In the late spring and early summer, the north pole is tilled toward the sun and the sun apjtears high in the sky at noon. Tltis effect is most pronounced on the lirst day of summer, about June 21st. At that time the sun's rays fall almost vertically on the environs of Salt Lake City. As can lie seen in Figure 2, a given beam of sunlight is concentrated between points A and B on the earths surface. laie autumn and eaily However, winter the south pole is lilted toward the sun, and the north pole is tilted away from the sun. At tins time of year the sun appears low in the sky at noon to those in the northern latitudes. Now, in Figure 3, we see that the same beam of sunlight is spread over much larger area on the earths surface. in RQ Fig. 2. A given beam of sunlight is concentrated between A-- It has survived the social and political and moral upheavals of the past four decades, contrary to excited conjectures of its impending collapse before the rising tides of federal taxation and spending. Year by year it lias grown larger in volume and more creative in purpose. During the past year, 19G7, more than 30 million volunteer workers, reprenonsenting 973,00 agencies collected from governmental more Ilian 40 million iellovv citizens more than $11 billion gifts. And included in this $11 billion was $230,984.38 that was paid to the Utah Symphony Ford Foundation Matching Fuad. Better than that: E. M. Naughton, committee chairman, announced at a special meeting of his committee "nis past week that Utahns have already pledged a total $710,933.53 toward the $1 million that must be raised to match the Ford Foundation's $1 million grant. Tiie total amount must he raised by July 1, independent, 1970. And as Mr. Naughton observed to his The remaining $300,000 fellow workers, OUR MUSICAL WHIRL will be mote difficult than the first represents the cream of the big givers; now we are challenged to widen the base of our donors so that we include everyone. Just how many persons remain to give is indicated by the fact that only 672 persons have gtvpn, and Utahs population is now in excess of 1 million. As this department has previously pointed out, if every Utahn gave just $1, the total amount would be raised. Or if just every 10th person gave $10 (a more realistic approach because 90 per cent aren't likely to be interested enough to make a donation of any amount), then the $1 million would be raised. As it is, 672 persons have pledged $285,294,47 and have paid $700,000. viduals and corporations. Charitable deductions, now that Apt il 15 is little more 'ban a month away, ate very much in the news.
