Average monthly wages for all workers covered by Unem- - ) ployment Compensation increas- - ed from $125 during the first quarter of 1942 to $196 for the first quarter of 1947, and $273 i for the calendar year 1951. i force of competent persons. The Utah Foundation study shows a decrease in the gross payroll for January, 1952, from that of January, 1947, in four state departments: the Office of the Governor, Liquor Control, State Treasurer, and Welfare. Personnel in the Office of the Governor have been reduced from 17 employees in 1947 to 8 in 1952, reducing the payroll from $3,442 to $2,279 per month. The reduction in personnel re-sulted from the elimination of the welfare "rehabilitation inves-tigators" maintained by the Gov-ernor's office in 1947, and reduc-tion of office staff from six to four persons. Welfare payrolls declined from $59,914 to $51,037 and personnel from 341 to 211 between January, 1947, and Jan-uary, 1952. Average monthly salaries (gros payrolls divided by total employ-ees) of non-scho- ol state employes in Utah increased from $121 for January, 1942, to $181 for Jan-uary, 1947, and $260 for January the Department of Health in-creased 33 persons, and Penal and Correction shows an increase of 28 employees incident to the operation of the new state pris-on, according to the Utah Foun-dation report. Total payrolls for all state employing units, exclu-sive of colleges and vocational schools, amounted to $996,481 for January, 1952, having risen from $422,114 for January, 1942, and $722,127 for January. 1947. Utah Foundation analysts state that the problem of attracting and retaining competent em-ployees for state agencies has been accentuated in recent years by rapid rises in living costs and by the competition of the enor-mous Federal spending and em-ployment program. Many state officials at the present time in-dicate a policy of attempting to stabilize their employment by consolidating functions to elim-inate unnecessary personnel and to make available the funds nec-essary to attract and retain a proximately 3,557 were perman-ent employees and 279 were tem-porary or hourly employees, it was indicated by the study. Sub-stantial decreases were made be-tween 1947 and 1952 in the num-ber of employees in the depart-ments of Employment Security, Highways, Liquor Control, and Welfare. The total number of workers in these four depart-ments decreased by 426, from 2,141 to 1,715. The staffs of hospitals and in-stitutions have increased by 186 persons in the five-ye- ar period, ary, 1952, a decrease of 141 em-ployees from the 3,977 non-scho- ol state employees of January, 1947. This was revealed by a research report covering state employ-ment released today by Utah Foundation, the non-prof- it tax research agency. Although the 11952 number was 3.5 per cent less than the 1947 total, it re-presented 345 more workers than were employed by . the state a decade ago in January, 1942.

"Suppose you take me with you?" he said to his friends a week before they were due to depart on their annual excursion. "I'd like to get away (or awhile and have some fun." Mel and Ed exchanged glances. "Ever been In the woods?" Mel asked. ; "No. That's why I'd lfke to go." ; Mel and Ed talked it over and agreed to let Guy accompany them. Guy was delighted. It would be swell, he thought, spending a couple of weeks with two congenial com-panions far away from it alL He pictured a leisurely ride up to Watervllle on the train, and many pleasurable moments later in a snug log cabin deep in the forests. Guy outfitted himself at a local sports store. The night before de-parture Mel called up and told him to meet them at the airport at dawn. Guy was rather surprised. He had looked forward to the lei-surely train ride. A taxi deposited him and bis bag-gage at the airfield in the bltii.g cold of a 's dawn. Mcl and Ed looked at his baggage and shook their heads. "You'll have to leave it all d except for a pack and the clothes you wear," they told him. They landed In Watervllle two hours later. It was stil cold and barely light. Guy was in favor of a hot cup of coffee, but Mel said they wouldn't have time if they wanted to reach camp by nightfall. Saul Payson, 6 feet 3 and with a voice like a moose horn, yelled at them from a ramshackle flivver. Saul was the guide. At sight of Guy he looked questionlngly at Mel and Ed, but nobody said anything. They piled into the flivver and drove through the town and out on to a rutted country road. The wind whipped in their faces. An hour later Saul stopped the flivver in a cleared place beside the road, covered the engine hood with an old rug and began unloading. "This is where we begin walk-ing,.' Mel explained. ' The trail that they followed was a tote road that wound through the woods. It was deeply rutted, besides being covered with a three-inc- h fall of snow. Before they had traveled a mile Guy's new boots began to pinch. . They had walked, It seemed a thousand miles, before Saul stopped to rest. Or that's what Guy thought was happening. In reality, Saul had stopped only to shoot a rabbit that was sitting on fts haunches and watching them in the most harmless manner imaginable. Then they went on. At 1 o'clock' they came to a frozen-ove- r stream, on the banks of which was a one-roo-log cabin. There was nothing very snug about It. There was nc fire In the rusty box stove and only two bunks besides a couple of roughly made chairs and a table. It was colder inside the cabin than it was outside. When Saul handed Guy a bucket and an axe and told him to go down to the brook and chop a hole in the Ice for water, he was grateful. A fire was burning when he got back and bacon was frying. It was the most delicious odor Guy had ever smelled. He eased down on one of the bunks and thought that he'd never be able to get up again. Saul made coffee and cut up some bread and they ate ravenously. Then Mel and Ed suggested go-ing hunting. Guy would have pre-ferred to remain where he was and die comfortably. They tramped around and saw nothing. They returned to a cold cabin and built up the tire. By the time the cabin got warm, Guy was half asleep in his bunk. He awoke about midnight to find Saul snoring beside him, and his body chilled to the bone. He dozed occasionally till dawn. Then Saul routed him up and sent him after water. It was barely light when they went out hunting agaia They divided, Saul and Guy going to-- , gether. In a clearing Saul told Guy to wait and he'd scare up deer. Guy. waited. Hours passed. He thought he must be freezing. It began to snow. He guessed that Saul had become lost or forgotten him. He began to walk around to keep his feet from freezing. After a while he came to a road he thought must be the road that led to the camp. He followed It. He walked for hours. The snow stopped. It grew colder. It began to get dark. Guy kept on walking. He figured the road would lead somewhere and he only hoped he'd get there before It grew so dark he couldn't see. He was right. The road led to where the flivver was parked. Guy was an expert mechanic. It took him five minutes to get the motor started without the ignition keys. He drove back to Watervllle and went immediately to a hotel. The hotel lobby was warm. The" room that he hired was warmer. He re-laxed, sighing deeply. Then he drew a hot bath, rang for the bellboy and got into the bath. . "Get someone to go out to the Harper camp," he instructed the bellboy, "and tell whoever's there that Mr. Evans Is safe. Warm and safe, and he's going to stay that way." ; W Jf.fy IfrrV vfr&i: W ;i O ;- - flfl a$ ;oS' is21sv' (v??J; it r. 7 I i - i - I ' -- I pi J y - ' 1 I YOUNG LADIES NOW . . .

From E. E. Meredith, Fairmont, W. Va.: I remember when every family had a newspaper wall pock-et made of pine cones and var-nished. From Mary Karch, Lakevlew, Ohio: I remember the old grind-stone out in the corner of the yard by the yellow rose bush. Father sharpened all the farm tools on It. I had to turn it and he would order me to pour on more water and urge me to turn with greater speed. All he did was bear down with all his might. From the Old Cuss, Chicago: I re-member how I used to get tired seeing "Uncle Tom's Cabin" on the stage. Every year it came around the country and everybody just had to go see it. I'd say every year never again, but always my girl would say she had never seen it and would Inveigle me into go-ing. (You see, I had a different girl every year.) From Alfred Alnsworth, Dallas: One of my father's prized posses-sions was a ticket of admission to the impeachment of President An-drew Johnson. He attended the trial, and how he got in without handing over his ticket, I'll never know, but he still had it. The ticket read: "U.S. Senate, Impeachment of the President, Admit the bearer, March 13, 1863, Geo. T. Brown, They would prob-ably have it on television now. From Drake Dodson, Chicago: I hope the Old Cuss, who is always sending in those reprobate's re-membrances, reads this. He wasn't the only gay dog of the 90's. A friend and I attended the Silver An-niversary of the Morticians and Embalmers convention here in 1892, and we all became "em-balmed."
