Carma Braithwaite, 9, daught-er of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Braithwaite, 599 East First North, received an early Christmas gift Tuesday when she was presented with a $10 check as the winner of the Who and Clues contest for the week. She named the persona-lity of the Week to be Taylor Reynolds, manager of Kolob Lumber, but she could only find 12 clues of the correct 17, so she forfeited $90. The amount forfeited will be added to the weekly prize of $40, making the total prize for naming the Personality of the Week and the correct number of clues up to $130. The boxes this week are at Melody Inn on North Main and South Main Market. Both will be looking for lots of visitors. There may be any number of clues describing the Personal-ity sometimes a few, some-times many but the larger the prize the harder we try to hide the clues so this week every participant must read carefully every single ad of each sponsoring merchant. The prize is a big one and most anyone could use it at this particular time of year. We suggest also that each week before beginning on the contest that the rules are read. We still find some who list the clues. This is not necessary. Merely write the number of clues you find with the name of the Personality, your name and phone number on a slip of paper and drop them in the Who and Clues boxes before store closing time Monday. Everyone school age and old-er may enter the contest. Its a fun game for the family. Last week's clues describing Taylor Reynolds are listed as follows: mother shares inter-est, business major, ward clerk, filled Texas mission, 1921, 1946 important, wife knows print-ing, 2 years at U of U, stake S.

The program xeao . . v. Congress of Parents & Teach-ers, the Utah Education Assn., and the Utah Society of School Superintendents. Under the plan, the Coun-cil proposes to guarantee a program of education costing $6,000 per distribution unit to all school districts in the state. To qualify, a district would be required to levy a 16-m- ill local property tax.

The percen-tage of personal income going for state and local taxes aver-aged 11.26 in the eleven Western States and 11.07 in the eight Mountain States. The report indicates that the Western States has a somewhat higher state and local load than the rest of the nation. In contrast to Utah's diverr sified tax structure, other Wes- - Utah has the second highest state and local tax burden next to Montana, among the eleven Western States. This was revealed in a research re-port issued this week by Utah Foundation, the private tax re-search organization. State and local taxes in Utah for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1960, amounted to 11-9- of total personal in-come payments to individuals tern states rely on a single source for the bulk of their re-venue. Montana for example, receives 59 of its state and local tax revenue from the property tax, but Montana has no sales tax. Washington, with no income tax, emphasizes the sales tax in its structure, while Oregon and Idaho stress the income tax but do not impose the sales tax. Utah devotes a larger por-tion of its total state and local budget to education than does any other state in the nation. In 1959, nearly 45 of total state and local expenditures in Utah were for education. On the aver-age, education received about 38 of the total budget in the Mountain States, 37 in the Western States, and 34 in the United States. According to the Foundation the unusually high percentage of total expenditures going for education in Utah may be ex-plained by the large education-al load (number of children to be educated) and the tradi-tional emphasis placed by the citizenry of the State on edu-cation. i Valentine Springville received a Val-entine from the popular newspaper columnist Dan Valentine, Wednesday as a result of his driving through this city Friday (Veteran's Day) and noted the "Main Street aglow with American flags."
