Count Kennedy Magnetism Salt Lake County will receive $10,200,361 as its portion of federal revenue sharing funds tn be distributed in 1972 under the compromise agreed to by the U. S. Senate-Hous- e Conference Committee. This was disclosed in an analysis prepared by Utah Foundation, the private research organization. According to the study, allocations to the county government in Salt Lake County will total $5,651,262, while distributions to cities and towns within the county will come to $4,549,100. The expected allotment to Salt Lake City is $3,881,774. Altogether, the revenue sharing compromise worked out by the Conference Committee will provide state and local units in Utah with $31.4 million in new revenue this year. About $20.9 million of this federal money is to be allocated to counties and cities and $10.4 million will go to the state government. Previously, two differing versions of federal revenue sharing had been passed, one by the U.S. House and one by the Senate. The allocation formula contained in the House passed bill favored the heavily populated industrial states. The Senate version, on the other hand, favored the poorer sparcely populated states. Under the compromise agreed to by the House Senate Conference Committee, each state was allowed to choose the more allocation under either or the Senate bills.

Foundation analysts noct tha' Utah, along with most low income states, will benefit by th'' compromise over what wouU1 have been provided in the House passed revenue sharing bill. Ir the original House bill, Utah would have received a total allocation of $29.0 million in 1972 The Senate bill would have given Utah about $34.5 millior in federal revenue sharing funds As noted, the compromise will provide Utah with $31.4 million or nearly 9 per cent below the Senate version but 8 per cent above the House bill. The Foundation analysis also points out that in the original House passed bill, Utah was the only state ranking among the lower third in per capita income that would have received a per person revenue sharing allocation above the U.S. average. By the House-Senat- e compromise 14 of the 17 states ranking among the lower third in per capita income will receive per person revenue sharing allocation above the U.S. average. Over the next five years more than S30 billion oi federal revenue will be allocated to state and local units across the nation. Distributions in 1972 will total $5.3 billion. The sum will be gradually increased to $6.5 billion by 1976.

The last rally and the biggest was at the Terrace Ballroom, where some 5,000 supporters heard Kennedy say, This year we have a real chance to help make Congress more responsive to the 70s and one of the outstanding young men seeking election to the U.

Halloween is a special day for Girl Scouts of all ages. This year October 31st marks the 112th anniversary of Juliette Low, the founder of Girl Scouting in the United States. To celebrate, 11 Girl Scout troops from the Blue Spruce Neighborhood met at Ensign School on October 5. One Cadette troop, four Junior treons and six Brownie troops' were represented. As the girls filed in they dropped their dimes and quarters in a decorate box for the Juliette Low World Friendship Fund. The money from this fund is used to help send Girl Scouts to other countries, giving them an opportunity to meet and share with Girl Guides the world over. A delightful ten page birthday card, designed by Handicapped Troop No. 294 from the Shriners Hospital, was signed by each girl as she entered. Gail Seay captured the attention of all as she brought to life the story of the vivacious Juliette Low. The program continued as each troop presented a skit depicting the theme of the day. Brownie Troop No. 733 stole the show when each of the girls donned a daisy cap (Juliettes nickname was Daisy) and won the hearts of all for their refrain, She loves me, she ... loves me not Clarissa Wagstaffs Brownie Troop No. 441 chimed in with America the Beautiful as two girls unfurled a scroll the length of the stage picturing typical scenes from all across the nation. To top off the afternoon all 200 girls joined in a circle, a thread woven through their hands, symbolizing friendship that crosses age and geography. If the objective was to bring girls from the different troops in the area together, the event was a success. The pioneer leadership of a dedicated woman who cared enough to share her spirit with girls all over the world could not help but impress the girls with the magnitude cf Girl Scouting. A giant professionally frosted birthday cake was cut and eaten byt he girls as they slipped out the door and on home, eager to participate in the coming activities that the Girl Scout year of 1972-7- 3 will bring their way.
