County-Stat- e Savings Bonds Sales Reported U. S. savings bond sales in Salt Lake county amounted to $589,257 for February, accord-ing to word received by Frank A. Wardlaw, Jr., county chair-man, from Frederick P. Champ, state chairman. Total sales for the two months of this year were $1,348,583 or 17.2 per cent of the county's 1960 sales goal. Utah state sales amounted to $1,492,943 during February, an increase of 3.8 per cent over February of last year, according to Mr. Champ's report. For the benefit of the estimated one-in-fo- ur county residents who own bonds, Chairman Wardlaw reminded that "all interest rates on U. S. Series E and H bonds, old and new, have been raised by at least one-ha- lf per cent from June 1959 on. Savings Bonds on sale earn 3 per cent when held to maturity. Series E bonds grow in cash value of 7 years and 9 months, at which time they mature. Af-- ter maturity they continue to draw interest under a ten year extension privilege. Those pur-chased before June 1, 1949 have been granted an additional 10 year extension, making them ac-tually 30 year bonds. Series H brings interest checks twice a year for 10 years. "Although interest earned on Series E savings bonds is report-able for federal income tax pur- -' poses in the year they are re-- i deemed, all savings bond interest is exempt from Utah state in-come tax," the chairman said. Grand County leads the state for the second month with 26.4 per cent of quota attained. Others exceeding the state average of 16.8 per cent are: Uintah, Box Elder, Sevier, Morgan, Carbon, Cache, Sanpete, Washington, Da-vis and Salt Lake.

Fish-Gam- e License Year Begins April 16 Saturday, April 16, marks the beginning of Utah's 1960 fish and game license year. Anyone purchasing a resident fishing andor hunting license must have resided in the state for one year prior to purchase of a license. The fish and game code defines a resident as "Any citizen of the United States who has been bona fide domeciled in the state of Utah for a period of one year immediately preceding the date of purchase of a license required by this code, and who has not established residence in any other state." Each year questions relating to this section of the law become more frequent, especially with the population of the state grow-ing steadily as a result of new industry and other businesses. Only exceptions to the general definition of a resident concerns military personnel assigned to duty in Utah and some other minor group classifications. The department also issued the reminder that a proper 1960 li-cense must be visibly displayed at all times when afield.. Licenses may be obtained at any of the 500 authorized agents over the state, who are ready to serve the public in each locality and community. leading community citizens from a selected area in the state will make up each class. Students will be dined and lodged at the Camp overnight. The first class will consist of the Utah National Guard's Hon-orary Colonels Advisory Corps. Utah Guard Charts Seminar Series The first of a series of seminars to familiarize the people of Utah with the threat imposed on the free world by communist ideals has been scheduled for this week end at Camp W.G. Williams, said Major Gen. Maxwell E. Rich, Utah Adjutant General. According to present plans, the two day seminars, "Americanism Up Front," will be held at least once, monthly at the summer training site of the Utah Army National Guard, he said. "Right now we're in the midst of a cold war that the Russians are using very successfully to attain their chief objective world domination by the Com-munist party," Gen. Rich said. "Too many people tend to ig-nore the cold war feeling that it is not important; that we can co-exi- st peacefully with commu-nism. We of the Utah National Guard, through sponsorship of the seminars, hope to educate the people fo Utah to the signifi-cance of this threat imposed by the Communist Party in the so-call- ed cold war," he commented. The seminars will clearly show the history of Communism and its goals, and why it cannot con-tinue if fredeom is to survive. Registration begins at 7:30 a.m. and clases convene at 8:00 a.m. Friday, April 1 and conclude at 11:00 a.m. Saturday with grad-uation ceremonies. Twenty-fiv- e Mountain Fuel Co.
