BOOKStCHILDREN Meet an Author Bob Wells is the type of author who is less likely to be remembered re-membered than is his fictional creations, and we are indebted to The National Observer for pointing that out. Bob is author of the Five-Yard Fuller humorous novels. Five-Yard and the rural Fuller family blithely triumph over a sports world dominated dominat-ed by city slickers. Bob Wells, himself a country boy from a small Ohio town, has his own triumph in a part of the world populated by city slickers. He worked on daily newspapers in major cities and he sold his writings to such cosmopolitan cosmopol-itan magazines as McCaU's, Harper's, Atlantic, and the now defunct Saturday Evening Eve-ning Post. He has been the ' Milwaukee Journal's correspondent corre-spondent in the slickest of the big cities, New York. About Five-Yard Fuller, The National Observer says: "For a junior high schooler who is turned off by Frank Merriwell types or by such anti heroes as Joe Namath and Denny McLain, then Five-Yard Fuller may be an attractive model." Five-Yard Fuller and the New York Gnats, written before be-fore the miracle year of the Mets, will read familiar, yet hilariously different to the baseball fan. Five-Yard wins the world series, of course, for how could the Gnats lose with a pitcher who hurls from center cen-ter field because when he is closer to home plate the umpire um-pire can't see his fast ball? This title won a gold medal from the Boys Clubs of America. Five-Yard Fuller's Mighty Model T is the latest of four titles, and it pits the versatile Clarence Fuller against an assortment of slick sports car drivers. One is Digger Grave-send, Grave-send, who figures no method is unethical if he can win the cross-country sports car race, since the $10,000 first prize can help make him the rutabaga ruta-baga king of the world. But ' how can Digger and the other international road racers really re-ally hope to cross the finish line before a Model T, equipped with washing machine ma-chine parts and a pre-war biplane bi-plane propeller? By dirty tactics tac-tics is how they hope to win, but they fail to reckon with Ma Fuller and her counter-sabotage counter-sabotage weapons, including Mopeweed tonic in place of watered gasoline. In Five-Yard Fuller and Five-Yard Fuller and the Unlikely Un-likely Knights - the first two books in the series the Fuller family works wonders for the flagging professional football team known as the Knights. They win the world championship, cham-pionship, of course, but football foot-ball was never before and never after will be played as the Knights played with Five-Yard Five-Yard and for Ma Fuller. There are still some young people who miss the joy of voluntary reading. But feV will fail to enjoy humor that gently pokes fun at over-organized sports and the sports announcers who fill our ears with superlatives and endless "firsts" in these sports. This is what the Bob Wells' books do, and you can score points on and for your youngsters by bringing home Five-Yard Ful--ler books from your library . and placing them strategically ' f about the house. ' ' Bob Wells is also the author of The Saga of Shorty Cone, a basketball story as hilarious as the Fuller books, and a serious volume, "Mad Anthony" An-thony" Wayne, the biography of the Revolutionary War hero. Federal outlays in county total S56.154.000 during fiscal 1970 Federal outlays in Utah County totaled $56,154,000 during the 1970 fiscal year. This fact was reported by Utah Foundation, Foun-dation, the private research organization and is based on a special study prepared by the Office of Economic Opportunity for the executive office of the President. The report indicates that Federal outlays include all Federal spending such as salaries (civilian and military), retirement pay, Federal purchases pur-chases and contracts, grants-in-aid, research projects, benefits payments, etc. The expenditure total in Utah County is equal to $408 for every man, woman, and child residing within the County. For the entire state, Federal outlays in Utah amounted to $1,151,314,000. This sum was equal to $1,087 per capita, and its economic impact can be gauged by the fact that Federal outlays in Utah were quivalent to 37 percent of the state's personal income. Foundation analysts emphasize em-phasize that Federal outlays in Utah are not without cost to residents of the state. Altogether, Federal outlays in the United States amounted to $190 billion during fiscal 1970. Utah's share of the Federal taxes required to finance this expenditure total was $722 million. Although it appears that Utah receives back about 50 percent to 60 percent more in payments from the Federal Government than residents pay in Federal taxes, the report concludes that this fact alone does not necessarily indicate the desirability of the program. Furthermore, the individuals who pay the taxes to support the program may not be the same ones who benefit directly from the Federal spending policies. Federal outlays reached all twenty-nine counties in Utah, but there was a wide range in the extent of the participation. Federal outlays per capita varied from a low of $408 per capita in Utah County to a high of $5,418 per capita in Daggett County . Other counties with high per capita Federal outlays were Tooele County $3,523; Davis County $2,492; Box Elder County $2,432; and Emery County $2,093. National defense and international in-ternational relations account for the largest item of Federal spending both nationally as well as within Utah, according to the Foundation study. For the nation as a whole, this activity results in Federal expenditures of $67 billion, or 35 percent of all Federal outlays. Within Utah, Federal outlays for national defense amounted to $505 million or 44 percent of all Federal spending within the state. Income security payments and other social services (education, welfare, health, veterans benefits, community programs, etc.) are also major areas of Federal spending. Last year these items totaled $74.4 billion, or 39 percent of all Federal outlays in the United States. In Utah, expenditures for these functions equaled $354 million, or 31 percent of total Federal spending in the state. Utah received approximately 0.61 percent of the total Federal outlays in 1970. This percentage is somewhat higher than the proportion of total U. S. population living in Utah (0.52percent), the percentage of total personal income received by Utahns (0.43 percent), or the estimated proportion of total Federal taxes paid by Utah residents (0.38 percent).
