Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1959 Page Three National Turkey Aide Calls For United Effort bn Industry United effort of the nation's turkey growers is the best solu-tion of present and future prob-lems of the industry, .the presi-dent of the National Turkey Federation said. The president, Walt.Schwedler of Portland, Ore., said that slip-ping margins of profit are forc-in- g growers to realign their sights. Like their counterparts, in other phases of agriculture and business they are standing at the crosroads. They must decide whether to get in or get out, he said, Mr. Schwedler will , be the featured speaker during the 12th annual UtahtTurkey Show, Dec. 11 and 12, in the, Hotel Utah Motor Lodge in Salt Lake City. The colorful show will be held in con junction ,with the Utah Turkey. Federation convention. Mr. Schwedler continues: "Those who can develop the best way of making a profit will states in the nation, will parti-cipate in the business and social sessions. , , . In addition about . 100 Utah Future Farmers and 4H'ers will compete for prizes and awards and top money in the annual champion turkey auction where 20 birds will be sold to the high-est bidder. Hal Keller, show chairman, said turkey judging begins at 10 a. m., Dec. 11 at the Utah Poultry processing plant. Con-vention registration gets under-way at 1:30 p.m. at Hotel Utah Motor Lodge foyer and the col-orful auction of champion tur-keys begins at 4 p.m. at the Motor Lodge. The . auction will be televised on KUTV. UTF directors meet at an 8 a.m. breakfast Dec. 12 to elect new officers. General conven-tion sessions begin at 10 a. m. with the morning session being devoted to talks and reports by Mr. Morgan, Mr. Schwedler and K. K. Heideman of the Poultry rise to greatest success. There always will be money in the turkey business." The turkey grower's greatest danger, he said, is being com-placent in making changes and feeling that he "has it made." John S. Morgan, president of the UTF and chairman of the Utah Turkey Marketing Board, said these problems and others of marketing research will be aired during the annual two day convention. . Some 250 Utah turkey grow-ers, who have put Utah among the top ten turkey producing arid Egg National Board and progress reports in synovitus re-search by Utah State University staff members.

Keddington Requests 1960 Funds For Voting Machines Salt Lake County Clerk Alvin G. Keddington this week asked fo r$50,000,in his 1960 election budget for the purchase of long-soug- ht voting machines. He said the amount would purchase 25 machines. Mr. Keddington pointed but the trend over the nation is to use the machines. "Purchase of the 25 "machines would only be a starter. More could be ob-tained each year," the clerk said. He pointed out that Con-necticut uses the machines ex-clusively and returns are gath-ered there in a few hours after polls close. Mr. Keddington recalled that his first attempt to obtain voting machines was five years ago v when he requested $42,500 in his election budget. He said the re-quest was not allowed. The Salt Lake County Commission must approve all requests. Accidents Kill More Than Many Diseases Accidents kill twice as many pre-scho- ol children as pneu-monia, and nearly three times as many as cancer, it is reported by statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Currently, fatal accidents in the United States take a toll each year of about 4700 children past their infancy but not yet of school age. These deaths account for more than one fourth of the total at ages 1-- 4. This situation nevertheless represents a sub-stantial improvement over that of a few years ago. Between 1949 and 1957, the death rate from a'cidents at ages 1-- 4 in the United States declined from 38 to 31 per 100,000. Boys had the more rapid decline, the reduction amounting to, 22 per 'cent, compared to 13 per cent for girls. However, the ,1957 ac-cident mortality, . rate for boys was about a fourth higher than for girls in this age group. Motor vehicles account for 31 per cent of the accidental deaths among children in the 1-- 4 age group. Most of these accidents involve children "run over or hit by cars on streets and highdays. Relatively few, of the children are passengers in cars. Fires and explosions rank sec-ond, accounting for 20 percent of the accidental burns. Most of the victims are asphyxiated or burned to death in their homes, sometimes when left without a responsible older person as su-pervisor. Other major causes of acci-dental deaths among preschool children are drownings, most of them in or near the home; poi-sonings by liquids or solids, par-ticularly among children one and two years of age; falls; burns caused by scalds from hot liquids steam and other hot substances, and choking on food and miscel-laneous objects. "The primary responsibility for the control of mishaps among preschool children, rests upon their parents. They must provide good ( supervision, remove haz-ards, teach simple safety meas-ures, and set good examples at all times. . However, physicians, especially pediatricians are mak-ing major contributions and by promoting community programs for child safety." U. of U. Charts Tour Of Europe, Soviet Europe and the Soviet Union are targets for. the University of Utah study tour in the summer of 1960 under the expert direc-tion of Prof. H. Bowman Hawkes and Walter Hahn, multilingual tour conductors for the U. of U. Extension . Division. Special highlights, of the 1960 trip will be a ten day visit to Moscow, Kiev and . Leningrad, and attendance at the Passion Play in Obergammergaii. "Because of the current thaw in Russian-America- n , relations, we expect to see arid do even more in the Soviet Union than was possible even a , few months ago,'' states Dr. HaWkes, Russian speaking head of the U. of U. department of geography. Tour members will visit Paris, Switzerland, Salzburg festival, cruise down the Danube to Vi-enna, fly behind the Iron Cur--j tain, then travel through Fin--! land, Sweden, Norway, Scotland and England. Registration of both students and adults for the two month, 11 country trip is already half filled, reports Dr. Hahn, Berlin native now associate professor of education at the U. Tour mem-bers may obtain college credit for study before and during the trip in geography or compara-tive education. Leaving New York on June 17 and returning on August 16, the members may travel by. Holland American Lines' SS Nieuw Am-sterdam, or via air at a cost of $1,575. Itineraries and further infor-mation are available by calling or writing the tour directors or the U. of U. Extension Division, Travel Department. Tax Reminder Sent To School Teachers The following reminder to school teachers who attended summer school, and to other tax-payers who have incurred or may incur educational expenses during 1959, was issued by Ro-land V. Wise, district director of Internal Revenue for the State of Utah. Direct costs of education and necessary expenses for travel, meals and lodging while taking educational courses away from home overnight are deductible on federal income tax returns under one of two conditions. District Director Wise listed the two conditions as follows: 1. If the education was under-taken primarily to maintain or improve the skill of a taxpayer required in the performance of his employment duties when the education expense was incurred, 2. If the education was under-taken primarily to meet the ex-press requirements of a . tax-payer's employer, or the require-ments of applicable law or regu- - lations imposed as a condition for retaining the taxpayer's em-ployment, salary or position, Mr. Wise added: 'You may hot deduct expenses for education if the primary pur-pose for which the education was undertaken was any of the following: 1. To obtain a new position or a substantial advancemena in your position. 2. To fulfill your general edu-cational aspirations or any other personal purposes. . 3. To meet the minimum re-quirements for qualification or establishment of your intended trade, business or specialty." Mr. Wise emphasized that the qualification requirements in Utah public schools provide that minimum training for certifica-tion is a bachelor's degree. Many teachers in Utah who do hot meet the minimum requirements for certification are issued letters of authorization that permit them to teach during the follow-ing school year, provided they complete a certain number of hours of credit prior to com-mencement of the school year. Teachers who do not meet the minimum requirements for cer-tification may not deduct ex-penditures for schooling under-taken for education required in order to meet the minimum re-quirements ofr qualifications or establishment in their intended business of teaching. If your expenditures for school-ing qualify as deductible educa-tional expenditures, now is the time, if you have not already done so, to assemble the infor-mation to support the deductions you plan to claim when you pre-pare your 1959 federal income tax return. No man has a right to do as he pleases, except when he pleases to do right.-C- . Simons.
