Isn't it about time the federal government stepped in and took some action?" The federal government spends more than $425 million a year on its public information, news, views, and more than the outlay for news- two major gathering by the services, the three major television networks, and the 10 biggest American newspapers. Much of this huge expenditure, as reported by the Associated Press, is double devoted to convincing Americans (with their own money) that what the government does Is for their welfare." Applications for subsistence can be hilarious, welfare workers say. It doesn't sound like a situation that would produce much comedy, but, they claim, these sentences are taken from actual letters received by the welfare department: "I am forwarding my marriage certificate and six children. I have seven but one died which was baptized on a half sheet of paper." "I am writing the welfare department to say that my baby was born two year old. Whey do I get my money." "Mrs Jones has not had any clothes for a year and has been visited regularly by the clergy." "I cannot get sick pay. I have six children. Can you tell me why." "I am glad to report that my husband who is missing is dead." "This is my eight child. What are you going to do about it." "Please find for certain if my husband is dead. The man I am now living with can't eat or do anything until he knows." "I am very much annoyed to find you have branded my son illiterate. This is a dirty lie as I was married a week before he was born." "In answer to your letter, I have given birth to a boy weighting ten pounds. I hope this is satisfactory." "I am forwarding my certificate of marriage and my three children, one of which is a mistake as you ran see." "Mv husband pot his project cut off two weeks ago and I haven't had anv relief since." "You have changed my little boy to a girl. Will this make a difference?" "I have no children as yet, as my husband is a truck driver and works day and night." r'In accordance with your instructions, I have given birth to twins in the enclosed envelope." "I want my money as quick as I can get it. I nave been In bed with the doctor for two weeks and couldn't do me any good. If things don't improve, I will have to send for another doctor." Aeeordine to the U. S. Cen sus Bureau, Utah continues to lead the nation in spending for local schools per $1,000 of $75 last personal income year as against $47 for the nation. Ten years ago it cost $231 to educate a child. It now costs $443. All along the line costs have soared, mainly to improve the quality of schools. While the number of chil- .dren has increased 50 since 1956, per pupil instructional costs have jumped 96, from $167 to $327.

Both teams have identical records, seven wins, no losses, and one tie. The tie for both teams came against Granite. The winner of this will be game designated as the number one team from the region and the loser the number two team. The importance of being number one or two from the region lies in the fact that the number one team will play the number two team from Region Two, which supposedly is the weaker of the representatives from that region, and the number two team will play the championship team from Region Two in the state quarter-finals the following week. If Hillcrest should win the championship they will play either West or Davis at Hillcrest. If the Huskies should lose the Granger game they will play Skyline at Skyline. The strong and explosive running of Hillcrest's Pete Van Valkenburg lead the Huskies to their seventh win of the season last week as they walloped the Murray Van ValkenSpartans burg scored six of the Huskies seven touchdowns. The game had enough touchdowns in it to keep most football fans happy for the entire season as the Spartans added four of their own for a total of eleven in the entire game.

Police answered a few calls for minor pranks, but there was nothing of a serious nature and no injuries. Chief Smith said he believes moving the elementary parties to the daytime instead of in the evening is a good thing and he would recommend continuing that policy. A huge crowd, probably the biggest ever, attended the junior high school Halloween party. Everyone was and there was no trouble before or after. There was one complaint of doorbell-ringinafter the dance, a report of speeders on the school grounds, a re port of gas stealing, a .accident, and the theft of a deer hanging in a yard.
