We have some of the most wonderful saints here in our district that I have ever met. They even make me feel ashamed when I think of how some of us only half carry on our religion at home, in what we call Zion. We do not realize just what Zion Is and how we have been blessed for being "raised in Zion, but when we come out into the World and see things and get our eyes opened, then is when we can really appreciate Zion, and all Its blessings it offers. I have quite awhile to go yet before my mission is complete. And when 1 look around me and see the need for more missionaries, I almost wish that I could spend my life in this work.

If not for the benefit of others, then for their own benefit And if my father is able to do it then there are many others that can; also in our schools and seminaries, I hope there is a bigger plea made for missionaries.

Co j; Utah Highway first aid stations, set up by tbe Red Cross to give emergency care to victims of traffic accidents, are saving lives, according to James L. Fieser, vice chairman in charge of domestic operations. More than 1,000 of our emergency posts are already operating in 47 states and thousands of others will soon be established at key points along Americas highways, Mr. Fieser stated. Tbe Red Cross highway posts are concentrated at danger spots in rural areas where medical aid s not readily available. The importance of this coverage of the open road, the Red Cross holds, is given sharper emphasis by the fact that there has been a 150 per cent increase in rural traffic fatalities during the past twelve years. The project was initiated last year on a national scale as a practical ap proach to the highway accident problem. The Red Cross felt that It could best apply its strength by succoring those who continue to be 'njured pending a reduction in the highway accident rate through legislation and safety education. "Our program brings first aid skill to the scene of accident in an effort to reduce the number of persons killed and maimed in automobile mishaps," Mr. Fieser said. Our highway first alders are not medical men in any sense, but it is their job to turn the injured over to the medical profession in the best shape possible. The Red Cross highway posts are established at gasoline service stations, tourist homes, rural police and fire departments. The personnel of tbe posts are trained by the Red Cross in first aid, standard first aid equipment Is installed at each station, and identifying signs for the benefit of motorists are erected beside the highway at both ap to the station. proaches ' The attendants of these roadside units who qualify as first aiders volunteer their services through the Red Cross and may under no circumstances accept pay for caring for the injured. To complement the highway first aid stations, the Red Cross has announced formation of mobile units. Several thousand trucks which regularly ply the highway in the course of routine work will be equipped with first aid kits. Drivers and crews will take courses in ftotil htknfiArdftndadvanced first aid. and each truck will be identified as a Red Cross mobile unit. More than a hundred trucks are already operating. The highway police of eight states who have finished first aid training will join this army mobilized to cut accident fatalities and prevent complication of minor injuries through mishandling at the scene of accident. Mr. Fieser said. We receive reports from our first aid stations daily, telling of essential care given to traffic casualties on the spot and of lives actually saved." This and many other Red Cross prp grams of equal value are supported by the people of America during the annual Roll Call for members. This year the Roll Call will be held from November II to 26. Red Cross Potential Life Savers Number Nearly 2,000,000 First aid and life saving certifi- cates issued by the American Red Cross since the start of the service 26 years ago now number 1,888,702. During the past year the Red Cross qualified 222,693 persons in first aid and taught water safety and rescue methods to 80,961. This army of First Aiders and Life Savers is one of the great safety factors in the nation. They are trained to give immediate first aid at the scene of accident, thus saving many lives and preventing permanent injury. Red Cross training includes skill in treating for shock, splinting fractures, checking arterial bleeding, applying artificial respiration, towing drowning persons to safety, and in the safe handling of boat and canoe. , school funds guaranteed by the conSalt stitution without property taxes.

J. Norton, Registrar. This is a 100 increase over the 1935 mark and a 700 increase above the 1929 record for students enrolled. The credit for such a marked and rapid growth lies at many sources, said Mr. Norton, but we are attributing much of it to the rapid increase and in the registration of students. " From these two groups there are over 950 students registered, as compared with the approximate 900 of last year. Comparing these figures with those of the past it is indeed gratifying to realize that each county in the state of Utah is showing a marked increase in student enrollment. stuOf this number of dent, Rich County is represented by Carol Johnson of Randolph. within the counties. The communities not mentioned in this report will experience comparable losses). The question is : Can we stand such a loss? Can our schools, cities and county governments be sustained with that much, revenue loss, and would we as taxpayers be willing to have some present activities curtailed and some others perhaps eliminated on account of these losses? Or would we welcome an increase In levies to be made upon our remaining taxable property? Or would we stand back of the State Tax Commission and our assessor if they boosted our assessed valuation up to the point provided by the Constitution, viz., 100 per cent valuation? Or will we be willing to have the lgislature increase the many present sales taxes or institute new ones in order to get the revenues? These are all alternatives and it is simply a question whether we are willing to exchange our present direct tax for indirect taxes; to exchange our present definite visible tax, for many forms of invisible taxes which we pay by pennies, nickles, dimes and dollars. ' This whole proposition has nothing to do with economies and savings because they can all be brought about without any constitutional amendment. It is a serious question which all our taxpayers, no matter to which class we belong, should seriously ponder before marking our ballots next Tuesday. But by all means, every voter should vote on the question, inasmuch as it contemplates a change in our tax system which has stood the test of time since it was made part of the Constitution. Let our vote he the result of our careful, intelligent, sober consideration of the problem from all these angles. Revenue losses due to exemption in Rich County will amount to $4,082. Levy increases to offset revenue losses due to exemption will amount to 2.7 mills. WHAT DIVERSION OF GASOLINE TAX MONEY WOULD MEAN TO RICH CO. out-of-to- out-of-sta- te n state.
